If it's variable or + constant is unknown since there is no reference for comparison. Same goes + for the speed of light since the end result is all we see and all we + know. What happens in the black box is unknown and all we can do is guess + what happens based on what comes out relative to what we put in. When what + is fully implied by this is realized the living experience degrades into + chemical electric signals. + <br /><br /> + All once held to be true is now out of view as it degrades into yet more + pure concept. Questions once asked are now all answered with the same + answer: the thing the question addresses is itself bullshit meaning the + answer isn't going to be any better than bullshit. All worldly things known + or not conform to the same underlining mathematical system making that the + only thing you need to know for things to be understood without much + pain. All that is left is <i>what the bloody hell is happening in the black + box?</i> + <br /><br /> + To understand yourself and the world observing is a very important skill to + have. Nearly everyone given a voice follows stoicism to a degree. Stoicism: + the philosophy of modifying the world to match your idealized image of + it. Selective breeding, domestication, and growing plants places they + didn't evolve to grow. This has been going on for thousands of + years. Anyone looking to obverse the world is observing a version modified + heavily to these ideals. Even that which is untouched is still viewed + through a lens built by stoic idealism. When the pressure in a tire is + measured a little bit of it leaves. Measuring the charge of a battery uses + up a little bit of the battery. Nothing can truly be observed in the same + state it would be unobserved even without stoic idealism. + <br /><br /> + One of the best things to observe is yourself. Your brain conforms to the + same mathematical patterns as everything else. There is no soul or + consciousness in the sense most know them as. Instead there are nerve + interactions following the same laws of physics as a solar system or + anything else in the universe. Sit back and obverse what goes on in your + brain. Let the so called nonsense roll (: Constantly awake or asleep your + brain processes sensory information and relates it to memories. Fun fact: + the brain is always running at full power. The process of observing what + goes on in your brain when you aren't using it for any task is called + meditation. + <br /><br /> + Most fail at meditation because they try to not think anything even though + the brain constantly runs. Trying to not use the brain itself uses the + brain. The only time the brain isn't doing anything is when dead. You will + never experience true nothingness. If you do die and come back there will + simply just be a gap in your memory. The real question is if the brain is + constantly running what does it do when I am not using it? + <br /><br /> + Whatever thought comes let dance around. Whatever feels like the correct + thing to be thinking about is the correct thing to think about. You may be + scared, grossed out, or just flat out not understand these thoughts but + that's part of meditation. No one is judging your thoughts except + yourself. We are so use to being constantly watched and judged we do the + same to our own thoughts. Your mind is the last truly private place so + don't be scared to think awful, gross, and weird things. Stoicism has + turned thinking into doing but that doesn't have to be. Don't try too hard + to not judge your thoughts because a thought judging thought might just be + the default thought to be thinking than. The import part is to follow + instead of lead. Let the urges pull you in. Breathing is natural and trying + to stop it just causes pain though when you become aware of your breathing + you start doing it manually. Meditation is the same but with thoughts. + <br /><br /> + The square root of two goes on forever yet the algorithm that creates it + doesn't go on forever. The algorithm can be shown in its whole but not the + number it outputs. It is a black box. So is the square root of negative + one. These things can create functions with multiple correct answers and + functions with outputs that don't make any sense yet we feel the need to + have a straight forward output. By trying to apply algorithms we end up + with doublethink. Our ideologies and concepts of the world apply in ways + which don't line up. This adds to the pain and hate in the world. When + meditating you don't have to apply the algorithms. They can exist purely as + functions and not results. + </p> +</article> |
