What about the fourth world, the shadow realm?

Maybe if you tried to incorporate this mysterious fourth world into your emotional universe you would find reality juxtaposed to your delusion, offering you a way out.

HOWEVER

you might just get more crazy

You should probably watch Jordan Peterson's lectures on Youtube if you haven't already, I think you'll learn a bit from them considering what you posted.

Ive been watching them. Theyre pretty good. I think he goes a bit overboard trying to explain things though. Needs to simplify his vocabulary and the points he's trying to make.

try as much to play the kill or be killed game while being unnoticed as possible i guess

Weve moved beyond that as a species. I want to believe I can offer something better, although my fear and paranoia keep me constantly conditioning for it.

my world is like memories, temperature, breathing, thirst, equilibrium+inertia(spatial orientation), touch, smell, anger, anxiety, vision, hunger, "sadness", curiosity, "motivation", "happiness"

in that order of average potency and importance, though i left happiness(and others) so general it should be split and ranked higher

i don't mean it in a literal way i mean that we absolutely have and are always playing internal group competitions. the social aspect is just a reverse image of what's really going on to make us enjoy ourselves more.

Thanks anon, you understand.

Try /lit/ for ontological topics.

Observer effect is well documented and its an inevitable consequence that measuring something also changes it.

The universe only exists relative you. If you cannot see, hear, touch etc the universe, according to you it doesn't exist. Obviously it exists for other people but again, if they cannot perceive the universe then it will not exist relative to them.

This is why killing yourself is completely justifiable, as once you die, according to you, the universe will cease to exist. Your grieving family and friends, all of your memories and everything you could have become should you have lived, wouldn't matter to you. Because you cannot perceive these events or the universe in which they are occurring, thus relative to you they do not exist.

the flaw in this kind of thinking is that all this stuff does matter to you when you're alive

Ya, the observer effect is pretty extraordinary. It seems like a wrench in the gears, but its an extremely important piece of the puzzle.

This is just pseudo-philosophical meandering in my opinion. We are not special. The only reason i say I want to believe there is a reality indifferent of my or anyones' perception is because I feel arrogant saying that I know there is.

is that scott bakula?
