Everyone can do nothing about it

And if you fail. Bigger ones. It seems to me that we get tested. By the universe. All the time. With little questions, like: ‘If I break your shit, how do you respond?’ Or: ‘If things don’t go the way you planned, how do you respond?’ Or: ‘If you stub your toe, how do you… Continue reading Little tests

I’m in some sort of process. Not entirely sure what to call it. Deconstructing old ways of perceiving is part of it. Looking with different eyes. Taking a few steps back and looking with some detachment. Something like that. And it’s a very strange process. Everything makes no sense. If you were to step back… Continue reading Everything makes no sense

People love sharing their opinions. Their judgements. Oooh, that’s pretty. You’re ugly. This is good. That’s bad. I like her. I don’t like him. He’s nice. She’s a little full of herself. And so on. Just stop. Your opinions are dog shit. You’re vomiting dog shit onto everything, all the time. It’s disgusting. Stop. Please.… Continue reading Vomit

So. Here’s the deal. You were just chilling, everything was nice and warm and cozy. And all of a sudden, all hell breaks loose. Let’s not go into the details, but there was lots of screaming and lots of blood. And then, these people appear. And they start yelling at you: ‘This is Nana, that… Continue reading I’m rambling now

It is all plain and simple. Meaningless. Just spectacle. And it is also stupefying and surreal. It is also very, very obvious and in front of you. All you have to do is look. But we don’t. And the reason is the sunk cost fallacy. We are so invested in our story. But if it… Continue reading Dream monkey, dream

In the previous post ‘On science’ I wrote a bit about what we know and the crux of the post is the step from internal knowledge to external assumption. That step where we assume an external reality based on internal experience is the exact place where all of knowledge and all of science breaks down.… Continue reading The step

If you want to tell me that the scientific method is the end all and be all, then using that method answer this question: ‘What do you know for sure?’ Tell me anything. That thing appeared in consciousness. That is all anyone knows for sure. Beyond that, wild speculation. And how do we go beyond… Continue reading On science

Draw a timeline. One that starts at the beginning of time and goes until the end. I know it’s impossible but let’s have a go anyway. So, let’s say you just drew a line of some length starting at say the Big Bang and ending when time stops. How much time does that line represent?… Continue reading A thought experiment

Chop the pattern up into things if you want, concepts make thinking and talking pretty convenient. But don’t forget to glue the pieces back together with the glue of cause and effect. The second you define any thing you also have to define the relationship of the thing to the other things. And those relationships… Continue reading Glue

There are two options. Either, you think yourself to be a human. In a universe governed by cause and effect. With an infinity of effects to counteract the effect that you can project through your free will. Which of course can’t exist in this universe. But even if it could, what effect can your effect… Continue reading Two options
