ok., while I'm still drunk i need to post about some "revelations" made tonight. not really revelations because I've made the same obsevationss before. hopefully these are more honest and luicid that would occur when sober.
basically my entire existence is defined b y a brain that serves to fool me at every opportunity. mostly through a surivival mechanism that skews my own experiences and allows me to view my perceptions in the way nthat leads to "enjoyment". being aware of this ois a curse in a lot of ways. i can't help but know that when i see a cute girl smile, my brian/body immediately devise a strategy to fuck her in order to replicate and allow myself to survive in some sick sense through children/grandchildren.
so i have these experie3nces that i know are shaped in such a way that my brain perceives them tocreate "happiness" or whatever for myself. bawically the entire existence of everyone is shaped around this..we all eperience enjoyment from various acts but it is simply our brain releasing dopamine or whatever in order to allow us to continue along the same path. the survial mechanism at work, and i fear that the vast majority of our experience is seen through "Rose colored glasses" where rose=surival. so what is truth when we know that we cannot rely on our own expereicne to tell us the answers? is the concept of an impartial observer even realistic, given that all humans undergo this same survial based biasness?
ultimately (unfortunately) i think we are all cursed by these things., i legitimately believe that the ultuilty (happiness) of someone with an IQ of 90 working a menial minimum wage job may be higher simply because they are unaware of such things and unable to process them. their brain execute sthe surival plan perfectly and fools them. god/nature f'd up in creating somewhat smarter pepople who aren't blinded by such things
btw i think i am capable of being blinded and that all of this argument is basically moot. especially in the form of mates/females. but i have super iq friends (170+) who i suspect are not blinded ins uch forms. should i pity their existence, knowing that issues like this must ahunt them daily? (they admit such in normal conservations)
ok done ranting, peace in the middle east yo!
