Achieving pleasure through the accomplishment of desire is the main human objective. That is a fact.
So, shouldn't there be knowledges that we ought not to know? Wisdom that will give us nothing, only existential dread. The belief in God saves us from the fear of nonexistence, the void. Still, we choose to suffer with that existential angst instead of simply believing. We do that because we think it's more "rational".
So, isn't ignorance, at least some bits of it, bliss?

Hedonist fuck
Sadhguru said something like that. "You cannot be taught how to be, how to exist, you've known that from birth"
I think the problem comes when you commit yourself to a single outcome over many other outcomes. You're asking for disappointment since life usually disappoints and surprises, so finding the good that's already there in your life is probably good enough.
Remaining logical and practicing your mental state and control over your subconscious is in my opinion superior to any reliance on a god.
If you've studied hypnosis and psychology, you'll realize that your emotional mind literally can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality. There's a lot more control over our mental state that can be gained through training than I think the average populace understands.
Wisdom that gives you existential dread doesn't sound like wisdom to me.

What a vague and presumptuous statement.

This, what the fuck is wrong with you op
Exerting your will to power in order to change the world in your image is the primary objective of human existence. Fact.

I don't think so, you had to learn how to be worried about your existence. When you were five, you couldn't give a fuck. All of your joy or sorrow from your existence itself is just the emotions you learned to express within your mind.

Humans don't have their own image and they also don't have their own will. They have a borrowed image and a borrowed will.

You're incorrect and my will is my own, prove otherwise right now.

survival is a higher need than pleasure/desire but you probably don't know anything about that you manchild.

Why is the image you want to make the world into the one it is? Where did it come from? Why do you like it? How do you know it is your favorite, or will be in 10-20 years?
