@Leaflord I KNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

@rees @Leaflord I think every simple moment of every day is unimaginably profound; which is why people feel so much aimless discontent when its stolen from them by bureaucracy and a never ending stream of bullshit and eventually by their own internal disconnection from the world

@hidden @Leaflord >I think every simple moment of every day is unimaginably profound
it's bullshit. see camus/heidegger. you need to believe it's amazing/profound to distract you from the realization that it's pointless bullshit. it's all complete bullshit lol. like what's the point of procreation? it's to pass down our genes because immortality is unreliable. ok well both are unreliable and soon procreation doesn't make any sense at all when we can gene modify. like think 50+ years into the future. in just 20 years we will already be able to do a ship of theseus situation with brain modifications.

@rees @Leaflord I'm not sure where you got the idea that I was speaking about "meaning." Life is inherently meaningful so meaning doesn't really have to be spoken of. I was using all that matters as a conditional. A way to word it that you might find more neutral is "The potential to understand isn't enough to actually understand, only whether or not they have the ability to do so in the end." A.K.A. it's a skill issue

it's not

@hidden @Leaflord >all that matters
leaflord is based but if you're still thinking in terms of meaning then you've been led astray (which is a good thing because it distracts you)

@Leaflord Just thinking about the people I know who show moments of clarity and potential like something suddenly rising above the fog and realising it never really amounts to anything. Capacity isn't enough and can never be relied upon; all that matters is if have it in them to realise and destroy the massacre of systems that the world has mutilated their own mind into. And all you can do is hope they're brave enough to tend the seed you left in the corner of the garden.

What was right about this time?

But doesn't the experience of it being profound make it profound? I recall that Heidegger had a passage about the reality of the experience of a sunset despite how science describes the phenomena. He concluded that analysis does not supercede experience.
