Every lived moment flows forward as time pushes. 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.
