Sometimes I feel like there is a lunatic controlling my life, instead of resigning myself to a noble purpose I design a farce of individual purposes each more deluded than the next. Of course there is no clear one noble purpose, that is a delusion to.

Some issues are just too damn hard to understand. Instead of humbly admitting that something is difficult we find some kind of perverted pride in being less deluded than our peers. Knowledge and intelligence should be a shared resource not a lever to get ahead.

Is it controversial to say that capitalism and meritocracy premiers greed which leads to exploitation of everything, a consequence which is universally and objectively bad?

How can we work together to improve our society if we don't understand society. I have been trying for 20 years and I feel more lost than ever. I am obviously missing something??

Making an honest living is cringe, hustlin' is based. I never wanted either, but I guess a revolutionary and virtuous life is cringe as well.

It is so easy to find reasons to dislike someone, and it feels like it is getting easier every day. We delude ourselves that we don't need each other and that makes it so easy to push people away. We do need each other, but even if we wouldn't we still don't appreciate peoples good sides.

I need to engage with other people, but how can you start a tough discussion without prestige? I always resent myself for not being smart enough. It is like I am both under- and overvaluing discussion.

I really want to find a place that is not an echo chamber. But every time I see someone complaining about echo chambers, their alternative is always an even worse echo chamber. I am trying to realize that the being in the echo chamber is not me, it is just an ego delusion, I can try to destroy it.

I am trapped in a fantasy about my own life. I need a preordained path to walk wether it is by my own design or not. Even if the truth does not lie along that path I am completely incapable of changing course. Can I change, or do I place my hope in younger souls?

A perfect being would surely be able to present a long list of realistic radical changes that anyone of sound mind would support. It feels like we are too close to the problem to find it ourselves though. And even if it was presented to us, it feels like we would be too deluded to support it.

If you compare yourself to the worst scum you can find, you are going to look like a saint. It is important to stay informed when madness is on the rise, but be careful that the madness you resent is not born from the madness in you.

To peddle prosperity feels wrong somehow, we should all be willing to make sacrifices. But it should not be a tough sell either, stop wasting almost everything and stop giving what little is left to the worst of us. Then we should have plenty to spare, right?

If virtues are cringe, does that make vices based? We must not resent our vices, they are what makes us human. But to resent virtues will force anyone down a path of complete insanity.

If we all hear what we want to hear, then what is even the point of communication. To unlearn this vice you will have to reduce yourself to a child, there will be no pride along this path.

Desire is such a fickle thing, channeled correcly you may find yourself full of love for the sacred earth and all its inhabitants. However more often than not, it seems, we find ourselves lost in cravings for prestige and status.

Is there a word for when you want the planet to be one big forest garden, and you just wander the earth only stopping to do some gardening, until you are eaten by a wild animal?

It is really hard not to resent a coward. Yet courage is not an easy thing to find. Most people need a helping hand. And too many hands are attached to charlatans.

Virtues will always slow you down. Pragmatic fools will laugh as they outpace you without effort. You will lose and lose and lose and lose and lose...

You might tell yourself that you are fully aware that you are complicit in a deluded culture. But if you truly want to find yourself on the other side of delusion, understand that there will be nothing left of you in that place.

Being knowledgable and informed does not necessarily endow you with wisdom. If you are not careful you might instead let it feed your ego and reinforce your delusions.

When you've held a belief for a while, regardless of its merit, you commit to it. Once you commit to it, you make it a part of your identity. Once you make it a part of your identity you are reluctant to change it. Do this enough times and your morals will be guided by complete delusions.
