Thread soundtrack:
Human beings are conditioned to see everything they come across as good or bad and this behavior can be explained through:
Cognitive Simplicity: Simplifying complex information helps our brains process it more efficiently. By categorizing experiences, actions, or people as either good or bad, we reduce cognitive load and make quicker decisions.
Evolutionary Survival: From an evolutionary perspective, humans needed to quickly assess whether something was a threat or beneficial for survival. This binary thinking helped our ancestors make rapid decisions to avoid danger and seek resources.
Moral Frameworks: Societies develop moral frameworks to control behavior. These frameworks are based on clear distinctions between right and wrong, good and bad, to maintain order and cohesion within the community.
Emotional Responses: Emotions play a significant role in our perception of good and bad. Positive emotions are associated with good experiences, while negative emotions are linked to bad ones. These emotional responses reinforce our tendency to categorize experiences.
Social Learning: We learn from a young age to categorize behavior through socialization. Parents, teachers, friends (for those normal looking enough to have any) and cultural narratives often teach us what is considered good or bad, shaping our perceptions and judgments.
But what about nature, is it evil?
When we look at nature, we can see that it operates on principles that are neither good or bad. A lion hunting a gazelle isn't evil; it's simply a part of the natural order. The lion hunts to survive, and the gazelle runs to avoid becoming prey. Both actions are driven by survival instincts, not moral judgments.
Life itself does not conform to human moral judgements. Natural disasters, genetic issues, diseases, and even death are not inherently evil. They are simply aspects of existence. The universe operates according to its own rules, indifferent to human notions of good and bad.
My fellow blackpiller, accepting the indifference of nature and life is where real freedom is found. It allows us to see the world more objectively and frees us from the constant need to judge everything. Instead of labeling experiences as good or bad, we can focus on their impacts and how we respond to them.
Ultimately, perception shapes reality, not because it changes the world itself, but because it changes the lenses through which you view it. Brain chemistry, homie.
"Looks are correlated to mental health, it's over"
Yes, there's a strong connection between these two aspects of existence. The game is rigged from the start, but let me tell you something:
In 100 years, everyone we know will be dead, including us. Our material possessions will either be owned by people we know nothing about, or will be deteriorated by time itself. Maybe some people will know our name, maybe not. Even Jesus, the most known human being to ever exist, will eventually be forgotten; it might just take some millennia (less than a second from the universe's perspective). We are all insignificant, meaningless sentient meat computers, yet we care. We overthink.
Find something you truly love, and let it consume your extremely finite existence. Seek fulfillment within, and accept the outside. External fulfillment isn't good or bad, but you will eventually notice how unsustainable it is (read about the hedonic treadmill).
And if you need a friend, then you got me.
