Not that long ago, there used to be a worldview that most folks understood. One where there were relatively fixed concepts that people could live their life by and to guide them. Society didn't function at 100%, but at a relatively high success rate.... But i don't think that 100% is achievable in any culture… Continue reading Social Structure & the Inner Life

Objective Reality vs Subjective Interpretation of Reality.
When objective reality ceases to exist, in our way of seeing the world ... (no longer is a cup a cup... no, it's not a cup anymore... and nothing can be proven as objective fact) ....

Our level of existence and its impact on society
Levels of existence: (Which one are we practising?) 1. Gathering sustenance to survive, regardless of anyone else. (Doing whatever the f*ck i want) 2.

(walking a mile in another… Continue reading Our level of existence and its impact on society

Out of control Urban Myths: Your truth is your truth and my truth is my truth
The idea that "what a person believes to be true is built on their own subjective assumptions" is correct. So, to an extent, we all experience the world in our own way, and each person has a different collection of experiences that form their picture of the world (worldview). But to take this fact, and… Continue reading Out of control Urban Myths: Your truth is your truth and my truth is my truth
