I feel like I'm in a cult. Even as a kid I was terrified of adulthood, I saw their lives and nothing added up. My dad worked, my mum house chores, repeat. It seemed like a trajectory that led to an ever narrowing hallway where it just got so tight that you got stuck and eventually forced out a tiny little door that killed you. Family, marriage, a house and career, this is what we are taught to do. As an adult I'm completely confounded as to how anyone could be happy for long doing this, correcting the wrongs of the world and only getting rewarded and paid enough in order to keep doing it. Horrendous.

I somewhat enjoy what I do and I value my personal relationships with other people which money allows me to enhance. You really don’t understand how one can derive joy from working a job that improves society? Having a spouse and children that love you that you actively improve the quality of life for? If you have skills that others value highly you can have a very pleasant life.

@@badart3204 But all you're doing is pushing the rock up the hill - fixing a problem, that tomorrow, still sits there in some slightly different form. You might say you enjoy fixing problems, that we are evolutionary designed etc then I say this is a form of insanity. This is what I mean by cult, the insane cult of constantly fixing, tweaking, altering, nudging things this way and that, just problems, problems, problems. Its incessant but we are bred in cult like fashion to think this is ok. You say improves society but I doubt that, i look at ppl today ever more selfish, more despondant, more atomized, more alone, rates of mental health are through the roof and to say that technology mitigates this in shortsighted. As for family, I have nephews and nieces and the more I see them the more I know I would never want to be a father, to bring them into this world of labour, toil, work and brief respite makes no sense. To adjust them to a society that we currently have is again, insanity. No offense but its usually normies who lack considerate depth who seem ok with whats current in society. I encounter so many ppl who are at ease with life and they always seem so absent in the capacity to perceive the world as it is. The amount of suffering that goes on on this planet, if witnessed or felt by those who are fortunate, would destroy even the most bright eyed optimist. It would break them irreparably.

Ideology today: we all know that what CB says is true, but we enact it all out anyway. Because we know that even if everybody else knew it was true too, *they too* will act out this pointless existence regardless. And we all know the story of "the emperor's new clothes", which is all this is, but so long as you go along with it in silence and don't call it out like CB, you enslave yourself AND everyone else. That's literally all he's doing to be so revolutionary: have a backbone.

Those Christmas gatherings he mentions makes me laugh cos i too dreaded them like the plague with their Christmas cards celebrating something that was two thousand years out of date and they knew nothing about .People are a pain in the fkn arse who impose on you.

I mean, it's something almost everyone has to do. Hunt and eat. Rare is the man whose individuality alone puts meat in the pot. I admire how long he held out.

I wrote a riddle that this reminds me of. What is the first thing one does each morning as an English speaker? The answer is: You GET UP. But may I ask as a Spanish speaker why is it that you obtain a direction? As a Spanish speaker I say: Yo me levanto. This loosely translates to "I rose myself" See the difference? In Spanish I am empowering myself. While in English I am kinda having my consciousness steered into this aware, awake, and gosh almost excited and anxious state of "UP". It might take awhile before you understand why I wrote my riddle. I know I explained it to a friend once who didn't get it. 6 months later he rang me and left me an excited message on my voicemail. "I get it sean. You cannot obtain a direction..."

Spiritually I prefer the Spanish language translation. "I" being separated from "myself"... " I" controls "me" I have a belief that there is no such thing as free will. I believe that there is only "Gods" will and "his will be done" because there is no "me" only "I" Does that make sense? 😅

@@mrwamble Yes and no! lol. So here we have to disagree. What I will say to you is that if you notice whether it is the concept of "I" or "myself". Both are absent from how English speakers start their day... Where is "get" used a lot? Hmm. Advertising. This advertising also plays on "I". While I believe in God there is not where we disagree. I just disagree in the sense that God gave us freewill. God does not have this. God is never surprised. God never "falls in love". He never has butterflies in his stomach. These are all gifts we have because he gave us freewill. Freewill requires a lack of foreknowledge (for if you knew the future you would logically make the right decision). Which at first may not seem like a gift per se. But it sure does make things more interesting! Which is of course why he chose this. Essentially we are made by God, by his will, for his entertainment! Strange no? I do agree in the sense that if he wished he could stop something (the flood). But generally speaking the point of the human experience is choice. A truly awesome thing to ponder!

@@grabman - Oh it's very interesting indeed. I might make a video to you explaining how I think that we can both agree. I see you said God never falls in love, well in my view ONLY God falls in love 🤣 because you don't exist.

@@mrwamble Yes. Total disagreement there. So like I exist right? I think therefore I am... But like can you find evidence God exists? To the atheist no. To me I say I see his fingerprint everywhere! This is the mystery of faith at work I feel. For some no empirical truth of God's existence. But you and I both agree God is implicit. I think what you need to do is read Genesis and the bit about the tree very carefully. I know I recently did. People talk about it a whole lot. But don't read the scripture. So like remember my way of looking at it is God can't experience like betrayal right? Or butterflies. God DOES love! No doubt. Why he loved us so much he sent...but that is another story. But falling? No. God can't "fall" in love. Falling in love is something we do as humans where we drop our defenses and pre-conceived notions. We basically allow ourselves to become vulnerable to another we have "fallen" for. God is omniscient and cannot have the "fall in love" experience. This is something hard to understand. I don't look down upon your way of thinking. This is tricky.

Language makes it so that we are unable to agree 😅 because as we know God cannot be explained. I say the opposite, there is evidence of God but no evidence of YOU. YOU are a symptom of God 🤣 Thank you for your time today. I hope to see your comments on more of my videos in the future 😁

Negativity is not wisdom. Bukowski is only critical of the routine of work after he achieved fame. Who are we to judge someone who chooses hard work ?
