Nothing is anything Options

Name something. Name an object. A cat? You surprise me.

No, that is NOT a cat, that there is what we call a cat. Why is the naked body of the opposite sex appealing?
Why do I like pie?

My brain says so. Pie is not tasty, pie contains sugars my body needs for energy. My brain knows this, my brain tells me I like it, it's tasty, eat more.

Nothing is intrinsically nice about pie itself. I love breasts, they are very appealing, HOWEVER... they are two mounds of fat with some glands covered in skin, with some form of teat. Now why on EARTH would I find that attractive? Because it is? Well, to me it is. To my brain.

So what's actually beautiful? What's actually anything? Adjectives are pretty bunk.

So if everything we perceive is interpretation on categorized definition in order for our system to operate and perceive the world this way, then what is our brain? What is a brain really? If a pie can be tasteless, if a hard surface can actually be particles vibrating fast and interpreted as solid, if certain particles can be interpreted as light and yadda yadda yadda, then what is our brain, and what is the mind? There's nothing intrinsically posty about this post, and there is nothing intrinsically DMT about DMT.

Nothing is anything really, just what you make of it. But what the hell are YOU!?

How did you know I'd name "cat?" I must immediately upgrade my tin foil hat. Much love to the "quant suff" number of neurons that enable your neural net to make this post and perceive a love for both pies and breasts.
"But even if nothing lasts and everything is lost, there is still the intrinsic value of the moment. The present moment, ultimately, is more than enough, a gift of grace and unfathomable value, which our friend and lover death paints in stark relief."

It seems the question is itself THE thing. The answer is not so much an answer, but an eternal mystery.

In quiet times, longing.

I am built of verbs more than nouns.

I am a fragment of a Universal Consciousness; sometimes this is clear to me but mostly its not.When its not my neural wiring conceptualises so I can function.I know that I know very little, and humility compels me to never forget how little I can ever know.Confused
I am paranoid of my brain. It thinks all the time, even when I'm asleep. My thoughts assail me. Murderous lechers they are. Thought is the assassin of thought. Like a man stabbing himself with one hand while the other hand tries to stop the blade. Like an explosion that destroys the detonator. I am paranoid of my brain. It makes me unsettled and ill at ease. Makes me chase my tail, freezes my eyes and shuts me down. Watches me. Eats my head. It destroys me.

well now that the cat is out of the box i would like to just say that, while nothing may be anything, it is still something worth doing. so go nowhere with nothing and you'll be going somewhere- which may also be nothing, but at least thats something

We were born too soon to explore the cosmos, and to late to explore the earth. Our frontier is the human mind; religion is the ocean we must cross.
