Is typically something I would have stated off with a year or so ago, but it's not that simple. Again, to be able.. I stop there and laugh because there isn't an able, there's a navigating the reality that is presented to you. The reality that you accept and the reality that you understand. Chaos make sure of the ups & downs.. the noise in the system. Is every Season the same? Is one year after the other alike? Does not the river change it's course over time?
Your reality is not my reality, as in my attachments (in the total capacity that one can be attached to something whether it's a physical object - a personal prized/cherished possession, or another being - human or other, or a cherished memory), my experiences, my education. There are things I know only that you do not... AND VICE VERSA.
I'm a dumb motherfucker (I question my constant referencing of my ignorance but what am I to do?).
The totality of the reality that I can see is best represented through the data that science presents, filtered through critical reasoning, tempered with philosophy, history, and literature. A walk on the wild side, worked with the actual hands-on experiences of life. The test that tells us who we are....
Why science... because logical measured repeatable events presented in such a manner gives us the tools to navigate life. Animal behavior studies tell us the relationships we shared and the evolution behind that tells us how and why. We are adrift in the sea but even being adrift in the sea didn't stop the planets or the cosmos to evolve... knowing our past... I was about to say navigate but that would be extremely presumptuous of me, nay totally arrogant. I personally feel... which I know is no-no #1 but giving the state of things globally and from what HISTORY both science and written seems to indicate is that unsustainable systems will collapse at some point no matter how you try to game it... and humanity has been force feeding that bitch for awhile. The Industrial Revolutions since the late 1800's have helped speed us along. FOMO, FUD... human behavior that is wired into our DNA since we were swimming in a pool. Eat or be eaten. We like to gloss over this shit, we like to think we are in control, the stresses that drive us for our fixes.
Words have meanings both on paper and internally, we have experiences associated with them and when we are young we have few experiences and typically have fewer words to associate with them. Which is why you get "I don't know" more often than not.
