I generate
If one assumes that "the nature of knowledge is fractal: The closer you get, the more you'll find", it is no surprise that anything one sufficiently becomes aware of (thinks, feels), serendipitously appears more and more all around us: Think of that unique idea or desire you've been privately developing for weeks, when suddenly you discover that countless fully fleshed out manifestations of it already exist in the world. Confirmation bias? I have my doubts. In a reality with no real boundary between individuals and past-present-future, where everything is generated at the speed of awareness, a central question is what is worth while doing at all. Faced with an infinite ocean of possibilities, shifting from "doing" to "being" is a useful strategy to prevent succumbing to nihilism and insanity. Simply focus on relaxing, the rest will take care of it self.

Attempting to count the individual water drops in a river is a pointless, masochistic & insane activity. And yet, this is essentially what many fields of science & other forms of knowledge management are doing.

“What would it be like to have life on easy mode?” You can try it right now: Keep reading this article, but see if you can do it with a feeling of relaxed effortlessness. Of ease & peace. You might relax your muscles, breathe deeply and smoothly, smile very slightly, and feel a sense of appreciation for being alive in this moment. What is that like for you? That’s the essence of life on easy mode.

"It's all bullshit, folks and it's bad for ya” ― George Carlin
Open almost any current media or communications channel for longer than 5 minutes in 2022 and one thing becomes abundantly clear: It's all bullshit, folks and it's bad for ya. Like being stuck in a terrible video game with brain-dead NPC's malfunctioning left and right. Any yet, one has to be very thankful for this situation as it painfully forces one to seek out the few pockets of sanity that are left. Good night.
