[edit] Goals in Life
- Avoid further formal education. In the event that I do take any more courses or pursue another degree, it must be because I am interested or because I genuinely want to do it; not because I need it for a promotion or because I'm trying to impress someone else. I find it illogical and ironic how people spend 30+ years worrying about their stocks and investments just so they can retire 2 years early. How does it make any sense to spend the years when you are relatively young and healthy working and worrying for the years when you're old and decrepit? I'm much more concerned about wasting the here-and-now than I am about how long I will live. I know that I have today, but I don't know that I have tomorrow. What is the point of living to be 90 years old if the last 20 years of your life are spent in a nursing home? A wheelchair? With some horrible disease? I do not apologize for any of this. This is why I'm so angry about wasting the present.
- Leave town.
- Maximize hedonism, pleasure, enjoyment. I'm not entirely certain how to do this yet.
- Develop advanced knowledge and skill in something (computers)
- Avoid commitment.
- Be extremely cautious of getting married and having children.
- Know what you believe spiritually.
- Do not be bothered by or obsessed with the past.
- Stay out of court (Divorce, lawsuits, criminal charges).
- Do not sustain major physical injury or develop any terrible diseases.
[edit] Philosophy
I need to improve this section. Badly. ● Several concepts only exist in the human consciousness, such as complexity and value ● People always believe that their space is being violated ● People struggle to find significance in life ● People struggle to dominate or feel superior to others, between pleasing other people and suppressing them, with unfamiliar cultures/social groups, between reality and fantasy ● People struggle with their mortality and find ways to deal with it (religion, children) ● We adapt to situations and situations do not adapt to us ● Questioning and Intent are powerful forces ● Always be aware of someone else's motives ● Don't trust statistics or "studies," especially on the surface ● I'm anti-autorative ● Most Americans are really secular humanists ● As people grow they want to be individuals but they come to realize that they are just like everyone else. ● Talking is not a substitute for action. ● There is no greater crime against human intelligence than black and white thinking ● People obsess over and identify people because of one thing about that person (religion, sexual orientation). This must stop. ● After seeing the behavior of families and the way people treat their children I'm extremely wary of getting married and having children. I'm more interested in being childfree.
