There are 2 kinds of fools:
Those who believe others
And those who believe themselves
+Everything in between
Those who believe others are the poor fools who will waste their lives pursuing someone else’s dreams, someone else’s truths, someone else’s lies
The poor ideological warriors, the politicians and activists, the careermen, the label-bearers,
Those who believe themselves are the ignorants of this world,
the deluded idiots and mentally ill, the know-it-all losers, the dunning-kruger poster boys, the self-proclaimed philosophers, the theoreticians, the critics
I said
EVEN WHEN YOU’RE WRONG
I stand by it
This is how you don’t end up in the first bracket
How do you not end up in the second bracket?
By NOT believing yourself
By NOT believing yourself
By observing your own DELUSION
By understanding that the problems of KNOWING and NOT-KNOWING extend to you, your psyche, and what you call “you”
By NOT believing yourself
By acknowledging your own ignorance
Just because the world is wrong doesn’t mean you aren’t
Most fall in between
All the people and their “opinion”
They are so deluded they don’t even recognise it’s not even theirs opinion
Most people have some kind of a silly rebellion, in which they affirm themselves — since they rebel against the world
In the same time the rest of their lives they gladly conform and adhere, for as long as it’s not so overt how meek of a SHEEP they are
As long as it more or less gratifies them and validates them and conforms to their pre-established pre-conditioned beliefs (which they too think are their own)
I don’t want you to fall in between
I want you to DENY EVERYTHING
I want you to live in a state of permanent REBELLION
Obviously learn from others
To NOT learn from others is itself the second-bracket, in which you think you know it all: including knowing that others are wrong
You learn from everywhere
In fact — you learn most of all
You ARE LEARNING
UNENDINGLY
Unlike the one who thinks the world knows best for himself — or the one who thinks he already knows best for himself
To be in rebellion is to NEVER have learnt is to be ALWAYS learning
And from every source
Be humble
That’s another quality neither group has
Not party supporters, not ideologists, not religious zealots
And not the “rebells”, not the “hustlers”, not the “leaders”, not the “gurus”
Obviously to be humble is to be epistemically humble, scio me nihil scire, which is to not believe everything you hear: everything someone says, everything you say
Avoid criticising and critics
Criticism is devaluing and not constructive.
Bring about the new world — rather then continue asserting the old with your criticism
Get over this nonsense of KNOWING THINGS and HAVING OPINIONS
as soon as you can!
It makes you stupid and ignorant
Don’t be learnt — keep learning
Don’t be knowing — keep exploring
Don’t arrive — keep moving
Don’t talk — DO something
Don’t believe anyone, including yourself
and this is how you may just be right, sometimes,
and this is how you might create something, sometimes
create something other then another shitty opinion and conclusion to glue into your shit-ego
