Many thoughts inspired by a combination of Nassim Taleb and Venkatesh Rao... I can't remember which to whom or how:
Reality is the Orchestration of Energy
Reality is the orchestration of energy
If system ends because it debilitates, there is no profit,
Create a system that is sustainable, then shear off the extra for human survival and advancement. That is profit.
Take good care of the sheep, and you will sleep well, with milk in your tummy and a blanket on your back.
There is no “possession”, there is only the possibility of dispossession… that we will be dispossessed from reality by destroying the system. We cannot obtain “function”, that is our birthright. We can only obtain dysfunction if we follow the path of destructive possession.
the answer isn't in the wind, it is the wind
There has to be a permanent, ongoing revolution (stability is the beast, the belief in stability is a deadly illusion, you have to live with some risk, otherwise you hasten death).
That is why youth always seek disruption, seeks change … that is part of the natural order, to seek the new path and new options, with the prevailing ecological and social conditions.
The winds of change are always blowing.
Change is life, life is change … death and life are one
It will be considered a sin against God if your brother or sister has to call out against you because you’re robbing their wages or because you’re not releasing their debts
Charity is not the answer, the system is the answer, yet at any moment to not be charitable and generous as well is an offense to god and the nature of pro-human society.
we must unify the sanctity of our practices, and banish all false divisions
We have compartmentalized society, a thing that should never happen … we have distinguished the business, from the political, from the arts, from the economic, from the moral and ethical. We all feel the cognitive dissonance about it. Just think of the major dissonance by separating the spiritual from the scientific. We have caused major damage and major harmonic strife by this fabricated division. We all feel the implied confusion and isolation … societal and spiritual isolation. We have sectioned off the religious and communal into an echo chamber, reverberating inside its own emptiness. Our embrace of racial and national divisions is also a series of constant thorns and impalements. Only in the correct and natural and whole reunification of these things, in the center, like the spokes on the wheel that constantly turn and move and flow … only by coalescing our fractured views. Only in making all our practices, professions, and passtimes informed and prescriptive of a long enduring health via humane culture and knowledge. Only in this way can we embrace our own native healthfulness and evolutionary opportunity.
