Everything is different then it looks

Obviously

How something looks conveys only limited information about the object

And yet we act and we think as though our perception of a thing, coming from indirect experience, is objective, and gives us realistic image of the whole

 

You think you want something but what do you know about it?

How many of your wants pertain to something you’ve barely even experienced?

 

You talk about the world and worldly problems and worldly affairs but what the fuck do you know about it?

You only have some idea about the politics and about the economy and about the ecology and about the injustice, you have some idea you got from the news or from some well-spoken sales person

But really you have no clue about the real world

 

You plan your life meticulously but what can you even plan, fool?

How can you plan something you have no clue about doing?

You plan your entire career and entire finances and entire family and entire fake persona

You plan it before you have any idea about it

One could argue that you will never have any idea about it, only AFTER it, after you’re through it (life, career, family)

And one would be wise to be so humble

And focus on what CAN be controlled… now

Focus on being intelligent and sensitive and doing everything to the best of your ability

 

Talking is not doing, everybody knows this much (or at least heard this much)

I say — stop even thinking about all those things and just experience them instead

EXPERIMENT

Focus on real world problems, real world outcomes

When you see a possibility — don’t CONSIDER it, don’t judge the book by it’s cover, don’t ruminate endlessly the stupid (irrelevant!) pros and cons — if you can just PLUNGE IN and try it

Plunge in and try it and get direct experience of the thing, incomparably more revealing then whatever whoever said about it, the friend, the media, the president, the priest…

And please understand that what you think of most things, and what most man think of most things — is utter nonsense

You are only looking at the facade, with no clue what’s behind it — and you call it “knowledge”, and you plan your life according to it

Admit that you have NO CLUE about it

Admit that you have no clue about it — and discard it altogether! Don’t try to know what you can’t know!! Focus on what you CAN know, CAN explore, CAN experience.

Better to KNOW you don’t know then delude yourself that you know

When you actually act according to what you know, rather then what you think you know — your results will instantly go from utterly random to unbelievably accurate

Don’t be a fool

Everything is different then it looks

Learn for yourself, by yourself
