Science will never solve your problems
Not all of them, no
Not the real problems
The problems of LIVING
The problems of BEING YOU
The problems of LOVING
The problems of being “happy”
Science put man on a fucking moon (supposedly anyway)
It didn’t solve our problems
Science looks into our brains
“There’s no soul”, it says
It’s all the firing of the synapses or something
I’m not going to disagree with that
But it doesn’t solve our problems
Science can move you thousands miles within a day
But it can’t move your life
Science knows how the objects move
But they way you walk hasn’t changed for 200 000 years
You still put one leg forward and then other leg forward
No innovation
There will be no innovation
There’s nothing to innovate
The problems of existence are the same
This is why any spirituality vs science debate is stupid
Because those things are utterly unrelated
HOW YOU LIVE is a different problem altogether
You still want to be SENSIBLE about it
Rely on scientific tools, scientific method, logic, rely on it when you can
But how you solve YOUR problems will never be “science”
You can be scientific about it and should — but it will never be “science” because it’s too subjective. It pertains to you, and your individual life; It’s not very generalisable and it’s NOT REPLICABLE — because only you is you
And the same way: science won’t come into your life to solve your problems
There will be no scientific innovation in regard to HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE
…yes you’ll learn what neurotransmitter puts a smile on your face and which one makes you get out of bed in the morning
So what?
You didn’t need that information to feel good or to feel terrible
It won’t solve your problems
Get over this folly of waiting for some crutch coming from the venerated science or the “great men” of this world or leaders
This confusion and turmoil will never be solved from the outside
Existence is your burden and you will have to deal with it alone
Whether you call it “spiritual” or “psychological” or “transcendental” or existential” or “philosophical” or what-have-you — the problem is still there
It’s your problem
You must deal with it by yourself
And this is how you deal with it — be relying on yourself and setting about exploring it deeply, profoundly
Until you know you
And you know you existing
And then you exist
at peace
