basically, you have an object.
if you think about it from one perspective, it makes sense. you view it from one perspective, it appears to be a square.
from another, it doesn't make sense anymore, maybe you can't see it all together, or it just appears to be a series of lines. no longer making a clear definable object....
so, if you take reality. a concept as, abstract as it can get already. with all its facets... and you put all of those together, to the best of your ability...
what is it that you are able to come up with, is, interpretation. it is your perspective, yes. but, is it limited, yes.
so, knowing that. plug that information into a concept such as trying to 'define' out, something as complex as, what would be the perfect 'fact' for a society to go by, for the health of that society, and its individuals. is one individual or even a sum of the brightest minds from out time period able to come up with such a thing, that holds true for all time, past present and infinitely future forward...
no. that's not in our intellectual capacity. it may however be, engrained as part of our survival, a natural part of our progression... to, evolve over time, as a whole. a collective, society. with all its, imperfections exactly as they are- inconconsisties and conflicting informatfion all being, almost perfectly in place as it is,
sort of like we are living out the solving of a a very long math problem, that just keeps going, and going, and going. like the number pi, infinitely. so, to say there is objective truth within the constraints of an ever changing dynamic such as reality.... as impossible as it is to fully understand comprehensively,... from all perspectives at once. it's sort of a farce to say, one man's opinion is correct, overarching for all time.
but rather maybe we should accept we are within a dynamic that is ever changing, and, learn to use that very dynamic to our advantage to the best of our ability, rather than trying to work against it and essentially progressing forward the hard way. learning to walk by falling down.
it seems a little fucking stupid? like, ah yeah, let's just, slap a definition on there, say it's true, and if we fuck up- woopsies, who's liable? nobody right, the only people who are most liable are the future generations who have to pay the cost for how complicated and difficult of a world we leave behind for them to, figure out. now, will that just make them better for it? devil's advocate might argue yes.
so this is where you see i'm saying, it might all be going exactly the way it's supposed to. like, cold therapy. as, sam vaknin talks about. or in physics, going down to go up. sociologically we tend to advance from our mistakes and conflict the most, adversity, etc...
it's just all one big social experiment if you're leaving it up to 'us' to decide. (anyone, basically.) but, yeah. eh.... who's right? what's truth? who cares. you could let it get really existential if you wanted. it's really up to you. beauty is in the eye of the beholder maybe, for now anyway. and that's a freedom we have, in a way. it may be a rudimentary feature of all life, you know. is, freedom, choice, interpretation, opinion. without this there would be complete stagnancy. which is, the opposite of what life is, life is growth, it is change, it adapts, over time, it is movement. without this movement, we cease to exist, so it's, fundamental really... that things are the way they are. we just don't know why, there is no one to ask why.
"if you say that there's no truth, and who cares, then how come you say it like you're right." -bright eyes
we could all be, inside the 'mind' of some AI, that is inside the mind of another AI. (referring to the singularity) but some like argue there is evidence that this theory is not plausible, i mean, it's the equivalent of saying yeah, what if we're all asleep right now, or, the matrix movie plot is all true we're in beds on a faraway dimension of existence or whatever whatever whatever yada yada yada. it goes on and on, you can confabulate all sort of complicated nonsense. if you want to think about it you can.
but the fact we don't have answers to these questions i mean, it helps you understand why maybe intellectually trying to knit pick over whether red is actually red is like, okay, fuck you know. all we have to say to that is just, lets add more fuel to the fire with research and trying to define everything like its a science. yeah, that'll keep it all nice and orderly.
no, no you just, made it so much worse. but, that's how it was all meant to go, maybe. who's to suggest otherwise, really. who can say what is best for all of mankind, or how it should all go, and how we should all think, and operate, and what is all prevailingly true.
we have instincts. but the rest is just, it just is what it is at the time, maybe the illusion is that we have any control over that whatsoever. it's like, in all this freedom, that we, believe we have. maybe, there is no such thing. so then you can take that and dive into, oh okay, so maybe that correlates with what, people were saying about predistination. and maybe that makes sense.
but, again, protestant... theology is just, one way to go about it all. right. so, pick your poison, i suppose... or, don't pick. i guess. hahah we're all probably exactly the way we're meant to be.... ironically.
like we operate based on ideals and, perceived overarching 'truths' widely accepted notions etc but, like, reality is what reality is and we all know this... we all know which reality we are waking up to whether you admit or not.
so, why do we insist this reality must be any other way than what it is already, if we know, there is almost nothing that can realistically be done about it.... the only truth there is, is what is. reality, is god. and our god is reality.
