It's been awhile since I had a ramble. Not particularly sure why I ever stopped. I say that every time I create a new ramble I feel like.
I mildly replaced the rambles with my Chess posts, but I just don't have the energy right now. Or the time. Well, it's sort of a combination of the two. Time and energy. Energy and time. Caffeine and anti-aging. HA. Energy and anti-aging. Two industries that will never go extinct.
Man, the Internet is such a double edged sword. As much as the Internet can help you save time and energy, it also takes a lot of time and energy. Seemingly limitless things to learn, and limitless ways to waste time. It's strange.
But I guess life is strange. Verbal records, written records, printing press, books, newspapers, magazines, telegraphs, phones, cameras, Internet, AI, plus a million things in between. Populations rise but we sort of end up becoming both closer and farther apart as people due to many of these technologies, and now many populations are declining LOL. It's as if the more we make life easier, new problems arise. Like a weird version of more money more problems. Once there's a shiny new technology, we all want the shiny new things, and the people with the shiny things seem reluctant to let the common man in. Maybe. I don't know.
It's entirely too late to still be awake. But I'm just caught up in the whole 'what's the point?' loop.
Is all of this some deep desire to what, discover immortality? Like these inventions and advancements are amazing and impressive but it's sort of like, what is the endgame?
Progress is great, but doesn't progress sort of imply, at least kind of, an end goal? Am I not ambitious or optimistic enough about life to understand what we're shooting for here?
Inventions are meant to make life easier. Ok, sure. But then why does life feel harder? How does life feel impossible?
I think there's a word or term for this, I can't remember.
It's like yes, many of these inventions have made life easier. But then once these inventions become more common, expectations for production only skyrocket.
Maybe we should ask squirrels the meaning of life. I don't know. They aren't sitting here wondering why this, or what if that.
Now I'm just getting old, and I'll probably be asking myself these same questions on my death bed HA.
Maybe I'm adding to my immortality by rambling like this. Some AI depiction of me will be formed and that version of me will still be wondering what the hell is going on.
I used to watch this YouTube channel and they spoke about ascension and how highly spiritual folks or like advanced beings live on a higher dimension or something. If that's the case, what's the point of that exactly?
I guess it's all for the greater good. Each generation is obligated to be there for the next. Work hard, keep society moving.
Meh, I guess we're just all destined to become those people from WALL-E.
Maybe my own problem is fundamentally jealousy. Maybe I am entitled or ungrateful. Meh, I dunno anymore. Maybe I'm just not supposed to notice how unfair everything is.
Hive on folks.
