RE: Pricking the Filter Bubble

in #internet6 years ago

James, you go on and on about it -- and that's fine, I like to listen to your thought-stream jags. What you are describing is like trying to pop the illusion of Maya, the cosmic illusion that is filtered through each individual.

Just as in Economics there is no real, "fair" price for anything, but rather it is subjective and can only be what free actors agree on as circumstances continuously change. So too there is no objective world "out there" but only what we can agree on according to our own underlying "impressions."

Still we must kick that illusion (prick that bubble) and aim for the underlying consciousness that lies beneath the illusion. Sat Chit Ananda Nama Rupa Existence Knowledge Bliss Name & Form. The illusion is the last two: Name and Form. There's the rub.

Sort:  

I know there is an objective reality, because of how I was raised. I wasn't educated by people, who speak from within their bubbles, but by the real world, which tried to sink my boat.

This informs greatly my interpretation of human intercourse, and exposes the underlying falseness of your thesis that there is only subjective views of price, or facts. What people say is almost always partially untrue (even this comment), but bouncing a boat off rocks does not mislead you at all.

There is a real truth, but we are almost completely insulated from it in society.
