Why are we trained to NOT trust or obey our instincts ? What’s “rationality†anyways? Why is logic and rationality seem above emotion, bezerk, gut, and instinct ?
My definition of success. Speaking fearlessly, creating fearlessly and sharing fearlessly. Success is the quantum of courage you exhibit, not how others react to you.
No. We want to do things. We want challenge, fun, and more.
Be distrustful of anyone (psychologists, philosophers, economics, etc) who say:
The human desire is to do as little as humanly possible, to conserve our energy.
No. We desire to maximally expend our energy! To become more powerful, to gain more, and to indulge more of our desires. To achieve more, create more, and consume more!
Everything originates from our body. Thus the start of all of our philosophical inquires should start with our body, physiology before notions of “psychologyâ€, “soulâ€, “mindâ€, etc.
In today’s brave new world … with COVID and everything, it seems the only way to thrive is to be brave. And the good thing with bravery — we can actually control how much bravery we exhibit!
If there is no ultimate purpose to existence… isn’t this insanely awesome? This means that you can do anything you want, and you DON’T need to do anything you don’t want to do.
Shouldn’t this encourage us to do more of what we care for, and not do anything we don’t care for … assuming no morality and ethics and ultimate purpose in life?
