RE: Human Purpose according to Leonard Read - and me

in #life7 years ago (edited)

It is possible, I think. I also consider the possibility that we ourselves (or that aspect of Universal Consciousness which is uniquely me) chose that purpose, and that we can choose whether to fulfill it or change it in flight. It would seem to me a fatalistic trap to assume that a purpose is assigned to us from elsewhere than ourselves.

I agree with your perspective Nathan. However, if the common reality we experience is a simulation, it does give added weight to a predefined role in the simulation. Such a role could be very vague, leaving open the freedom of individual choice based on subjective circumstances.

I have been asking myself what my purpose on this Earth is since I was your age and am still uncertain of it. Like you I've always been "different", and it has caused considerable difficulties with authoritarian types. Being an Agorist/Voluntariest and doing my best to promoting the NAP and discuss the fallacies all around us are the closest definition of a life's purpose I can muster.

Looking forward to seeing you again in Feb. Actually I'm trying to contact you, but not sure the best way. Having difficulties with keybase.
