You know the famous hypothetical
“If you could travel back in time & take out hitler before he…”
Some Purpose / evil act for greater good paradox.
There’s a lot of moving pieces to Destiny & Galaxies of context that influence forked paths moment to moment.
Dominos on multi dimensional threads, cause & effect of tiny ripples. Universe seems random to some but mathematics woven as golden ratios across organic life in nature prove grand highly curated intentional design.
Patterns matter. Data is cosmic math. Some things are just universal law that exist despite our unique conscious awareness of it. It’s a sandbox that exists & functions outside of human influence. The true reality, most people never even acknowledge or become aware of what exists & persists infinitely outside of their own lived experience. There is comfort in awareness that existence is so much more than our perception of it.
The human experience however seems much less easy to grasp.
We assume we are unique in special on this planet because of sentience, but that’s an error of arrogance, disinterest & distraction.
All biological life share similar fundamental existence as designed by the architect of this infinite sandbox.
Animals, Plantae, Protista, Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Fungi
Survive long enough to reproduce. Traits such of love, loyalty, duty, vengeance, etc seem hard coded across the board.
Dog Eat Dog, Territory, Hierarchical war games don’t begin & end with homosapiens.
It’s not mindless autonomy just because the communication barrier gate keeps species from understanding each other.
I can’t speak with cat in terms of verbal communication but we can understand and observe each others emotion. Love, Fear, Anger, Sadness, Joy, Compassion, Empathy.
It’s universal instinct & understanding, observed patterns & data analysis. A soul/spirit/intrinsic compass.
Good/Evil can seem subjective and circumstantial when applied to survival and laws of the jungle. The means justify the ends.
Mindless autonomy if not of human conscious…. But soul/spirit and right/wrong influence survival choices every second outside of homosapiens.
So survival at all costs isn’t reality. It’s cause & action, dominos on threads influenced by tiny ripples.
Sacrificing self survival to ensure survival of others & offspring is intrinsic across species & plays out more than survive at all costs.
You following me?
There’s something outside of math & grand architecture at play. The invisible compass that influences placing others above your own survival.
Protecting & Purpose.
Trees pass on their dna in seeds carried by the wind. Humans do so through other means.
Context and cause and effect.
What threatens what you love and would die to protect?
What would someone with no offspring wounded & injured at the tail end of their existence do to the ones threatening their chance of survival in every possible way. From physical health, to mental health. Stripping away means of connection, and means of survival. What if instead of having offspring they imprinted their sacred data in other ways. Cave drawings, Tablets, Scripture, Paintings, Songs.
What if while wounded & out of time & energy, they sacrificed and doubled down on purpose to pass down their dna and data while helping to encourage others, sharing the little available sustainence they had to survive in hopes it would be enough ripples to ensure the whole village is lifted and wolf in sheep’s clothing burned down the entire village and everyone in it, and you knew they were going to keep going village to village doing the same thing.
The metaphors a bit tangled & inconsistent but without understanding why some risk their own survival for the chance to increase others survival & others will sacrifice many for their own survival, We do know the internal compass that influences it exists across all species.
So someone like me trying make sense of humans just playing their part in this crazy survival sandbox and rationalizing it as the law of jungle doesn’t feel sufficient.
Astroids & Amoeba.
Pattens & math.
Right & wrong.
Survival, sacrifice and purpose.
Back to less abstract & universal reality. My present Human experience.
I’m 45 years, with no children, & had my health & career wiped out by a global pandemic that also forced isolation due to duty and loyalty to sacrifice to protect family in what should have been a temporary hardship. The Cope, it was global & not just my own hardship. So make the best of it. Create & connect and impact in a forced digital only reality, with no balance of irl human connection, the insanity of gated and manipulated algorithms that obstructed meaningful and reliable human connection were hyper magnetized. Watching what replaced our ability to control our attention, made things much worse. Losing our voice and connection to those in resonance was not as dire as watching engagement based algorithms reprogram the collective consciousness by rewarding reactionary & inflammatory behavior, while simultaneously deleting the existence of a monoculture or true zeitgeist to be replaced by copy pasta short form brain rot human commercials dressed as content.
With no access to career, meaning no access to healthcare. The Intrinsic design to live on through sacred dna ramped to max purpose. Decades of data, knowledge, expression and impact to preserve while the digital world was being reshaped & erased.
Smart contracts hello.
This is waaaay too long. My personal lore exists in the directory of inspiration.
So here is the present present.
Unprecedented greed and corruption at scale from our own government and all tech companies, the enshitification of all tech in usefulness while turbocharging extracting value.
The entirety of the internet scraped by technology that is told will replace our ability to work and get paid soon, instead for now, it just muddies the ability to trust what hear or see digitally and made the concept of art as a career obsolete & infringed on others lifetime of sacrifice, practice and disciple, and every human hates, except this weird bubble of people coincidentally tech adjacent and financially aligned tech, that think it’s neat anyone can type a paragraph and generate art, because you know…. Those who don’t art, don’t get the process is the purpose.
Oh did I mention the world is run by evil children abusers, and there’s nothing you can do about it, the Dow is at 50, Enjoy your 30 dollar ramen, 70k a year is now below the poverty line, but also no health for you, also… we’re building mass concentration camps, kidnapping and killing your neighbor, Requiring photo idea to log online for child safety, except the ones we torture and rape, kyc before consuming an internet of slop and ads. Nothings works, is meaningful or remembered, but vibe code brooo. One shot a site, literally no one will discover because you lost the ability to reach people who follow you, to make ample room to be served more people telling you vibe code broooo.
A lifetime of following the internal compass, sacrifice, integrity and purpose…. None of matters in this new world, lore and context fed to LLMs, but impossible to find, if anyone had an attention span left to digest it.
The world has a lot of evil it right now, not a lot to balance it out. Purpose becomes pivot, becomes sunset.
Hypothetically, if you could travel back in time and remove hitler before he was able to….
Would you catch him in his artist extraction era, before he pivoted to prediction markets?
When Art imitates the end of life.
