you might want to sit down. this has been said like a billion times before but if you guys all get this now, right now in history, some really crazy changes will happen
like people turning into angels without dying, en masse
here we go...
We are brainwashed to think that 'meaning' itself is waaaaay more important than it really is.
Yuuup, that's right, meaning itself is something we THINK we need to survive, when really we are just programmed to desire it.
...and desire it INSANELY, more than air or water almost. Men go to their graves for this exalted MEEEEEANNIIIINGGGG
As a race, MEANING ITSELF is the main thing we are harmfully strung out on.
I'm not complaining, it's just time in our evolution for humans to see this and be liberated!
Imagine... meaning dissolves...
I understand the whole idea seems preposterous.... unless you're TOTALLY DONE being addicted to and strung out on meaning, metaphor, and symbol structure.
This is the most basic way humans are controlled. Getting the population addicted to 'meaning' is the most frightening and subtle way to program us. Our parents and authority structures tell us to LEARN LEARN LEARN more and more meaning until it's an unstoppable snowball of MEANING ADDICTION. You have to see that it starts when we are infants, or you might have a hard time seeing how you are controlled by this addiction.
I believe psychologists figured this out in the 1940's, that getting the population addicted to 'meaning' makes them very easy to control. That era was the first time mankind had that much technology combined with that much evil intent. So, psychologists working for whatever government were paid or forced to come up with the most effective way to control little ol you and me. They figured out that if you stuff a nation's children full of billions of bullshit-ass metaphors and symbols, along with a ravenous addiction to said metaphors, you get this cascading effect of SYMBOL ADDICTION that makes those children SLAVES TO SOCIAL FORCES AND STANDARDS.
We have no control of ourselves, so it's time to get it...
'Meaning' actually prevents us from seeing the true nature of the universe. We're totally convinced we can really see what's going on with our amazing minds, but really we're filtering everything so hard that we can't really see anything as it actually is.
I think I'm about to go on a crusade against 'meaning!'
This will be interesting.
If I find out a way to sell this totally unoriginal idea that keeps coming up with philosophers thru the ages, i'm gonna cost the economy a lot of money...
Money just won't be the same if shit don't mean shit, bwahaha...
Remember, you can't see, detect, or understand ANYTHING AT ALL without symbolic 'meaning.' (except certain sensations like being stabbed etc.) Try focusing on anything in the universe without being aware of its meaning(s)..
You cant!
(Zen meditation is the absence of meaning/metaphor/symbol. It's like the most complete and refreshing power-down your brainframe can get.)
This problem I have with 'meaning' is the reason I don't welcome religious preaching or theory.
I don't believe you can use 'meaning' to look at god or whatever.
I believe that is the opposite direction of the truth.
Any spiritual practice that encourages more 'whisltles and bells' of meaning switching on in my brain isn't going to make me understand the WHOLE universe, just the MEANING-BASED universe.
I think there's a lot more going on than just what our puny meaning-based central nervous system can understand or even observe.
So far, 'meaning' only exists in the mind, the 'metaphor processor.'
But we are just around the corner from extracting meaning from the brain and storing it in digital form
...and replicating it
...and teaching it to replicate itself
god help them
And to you good people, please become un-addicted to meaning!
So you can't be enslaved by the machines that will manufacture it.
(wow scary)
It would be great if we all became un-enslaved...
BEFORE we get so dependent and ignorant and obsessed that we're like robots.
if you are offended by this
it's because you can't see a life after 'meaning.'
I don't know what it will be like, but I know that materialism leading to war won't be a trend if everyone in society gets control of their metaphors.
If you think this is a nihilistic or destructive idea, you probably think I want everyone to say 'fuck it, nothing means anything' which seems like it would result in carnage and looting to say the least.
I'm not saying 'Everyone go on a destructive rampage!!!'
(duh)
I'm saying 'Everyone take a little time every day to learn THIS about yourselves and you will save the universe without even thinking about it.'
...oh yeah and you'll be more independent and you'll manipulate reality more easily and righteously too.
ok enough
Anyone know if there are nutritional supplements you can take for the part of the brain that processes metaphors?
I want to take inventory of all meanings, and master them.
Keep in mind that some basic metaphors and meaning associations can stay, BY MY CHOICE, NOT because of AUTOPILOT OR DEFAULT SETTINGS CREATED BY MY CONDITIONING.
We must all learn to be SELECTIVE about what meanings we allow to stay(or form) in our minds. We must teach our children to also form and keep meanings using WISDOM instead of AUTOPILOT.
Thanks.
Go teach.
