RE: Spirituality, the Matrix, and exploitation of comfort • Not a comfortable post.
I've said this some where else, and stole it from someone else. All these people who say they're "letting go" and trying to become "zen" or "one with the universe" still look both ways before they cross any street.
As humans, we can poke, we can interrogate, we can intervene. So can everything else.
I'm nihilistic, in that I don't believe we can have a significant influence on the world we inhabit, but over things insignificant, which we make significant, like lumps or carbon, metal, dirt, clay, or the silicion that facilitates this exchange - We can perceive significance.
I continue to unconditionally enjoy your writing.
Thank you for recording these thoughts of yours.

Thanks!
Yes, great point. I have heard a similar example before from my martial arts teacher. When people start talking about how they are superhuman and live in a different (spiritual) world and are totally free, he says something like this: well, let’s see how different you are next time when you need to eat, sleep, or use the toilet... or how free you are when you get a migraine and run to your medical cabinet for a pill... or how superhuman you are when faced with daily routines that you hate )
