We have ideas about how good something is and how attractive and how desirable
This car is more premium then that car
This career is more lucrative then that career
This girl is more attractive then that girl
This lifestyle is more desirable then that lifestyle
This food is more healthy then that food
This athlete is the GOAT and that one is merely the best in the world
Billion dollars is better then million
This one realised his potential and that one didn’t
This artist is the real artist and this guru is a fake guru and this intellectual is a fraud and that writer is criminally underrated
it’s most UTTER NONSENSE
binary-thinking stupid nonsense
ranking-making absolute-thinking retarded fucking nonsense
We all overestimate how much better “better” is
We all spend too much time conceiving rankings and hierarchies and comparisons
We dedicate our lives to bringing a little bit more of that putative “better” into our lives
We hate ourselves because we are not a little bit more like this and don’t have a little bit more of that
SUBJECTIVITY is far more powerful then OBJECTIVE QUALITY
SUBJECTIVE is far more REAL then the OBJECTIVE
We only want objectivity because it lends us objective framework for self-aggrandisement.
“Objective value” and “objective quality” grants ourselves “objective value”
We want ourselves, our egos, to be objectively good
Ultimately, we want ourselves, we want our ego, to be objectively so good as to not die, as to be permanent
Rather then so insignificant so as to dissolve
And yet we still dissolve
Subjectivity is FAR more powerful then “objective quality”
You like pears and she likes apples
You want money and I just want peace
You want pleasure and he wants meaning
You like a big house in hollywood hills and I like a cabin in the forest
You like cats and he likes dogs
You made such and such life choices and had gotten such and such results
She made such and such life choices and had gotten such and such results
You made this investment on that and therefore didn’t make that investment on this
You like to cook your own meal and he likes to go to a 5 star restaurant
You’d rather sit on a bench in the park and she’d rather be on a yacht
You are interested in philosophy and he is interested in spirituality and she is interested in business
He likes ambitious people and you like fun people
She wants to look like Kim and she wants to look like Kate
And he wants her to look like Freddie
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS “OBJECTIVE” ABOUT THAT?
fuck objective
fuck your rankings
fuck your dreams
fuck your hopes
get over all of it
embrace DIVERSITY
this “objective” nonsense is why we’re so insecure, individually and collectively
the entire race and sex and what-not inequality nonsense stems from there — we just don’t understand and don’t respect the intrinsic diversity, and therefore subjectivity
I don’t want to be a woman
She doesn’t want to be a man
He doesn’t want to be white
She doesn’t want a career — she wants a happy family
He’s not interested in higher education
and it’s OK
and the results will OBVIOUSLY VARY
and THAT IS FINE TOO
You’re not much worse then she is
You’re not much better then he is
It’s all nonsense
You’re not even much better then you were
Do you know what matters?
What you DO RIGHT NOW
How good you make it RIGHT NOW
That is what matters
Get over this concept of better and worse
Believe me it’s far, FAR less objective then you think
And you don’t benefit from harbouring these concepts in your mind
It only weights you down and deludes you
Get over it and live
