I may not have a perfect solution, but is what I have. I’m trying. Do the same

We are amidst the collapse of our current civilization. Either if you went down of the rabbit role of researching and understanding the significance of current events and how they can end up collapsing the way our current society is structured (maybe even went as deep as watching professor Jiangs grim predictions of how it will all unfold) or maybe you’re just perceptive/sensitive and feel in your bones that we are close to the end; you understand that we are entering a very turbulent phase of human history.

This may make you feel somewhat desperate. Not full blown panic attack, but a certain deep anxiety that you can’t take too seriously because its just a hunch, but something you can’t fully ignore.

This creeping anxiety, specially if you delved into spiritual practices in the past to better understand the subjective experience, may make you go after spiritual answers. Simulation theory, the perspective that your consciousness creates and transforms reality, or to find someway to spiritually detach from this reality. But all of that feels like escaping instead of confronting, and the solutions marketed and deep ancient truths boil down to positive thinking.

But how to confront this when, thinking about it logically, there’s no real solution. Changing course would need everyone to start being conscious of where we are and how we got here and how to get out, and that would need them to come to therms with beliefs they have that aren’t enough anymore to explain reality.

Ignoring the fact that I don’t even know if most people have the cognitive capacity to understanding all this because cognitive abilities are not uniformly distributed within the human race; and assuming that everyone has the capacity, truth of the matter, most people didn’t have the privilege to have an upbringing that stimulates critical thinking nor the time to develop that critical thinking.

Being discouraged, desperate and thinking of giving up are not personal failures, are just very good options once you understand how we are utterly hopeless.

And before I event start talking what I think are the solutions, we do not even feel safe to create communities to talk about this because it all feels like personal responsibility. And that feeling comes from the system making us feel that every problem and suffering the system throws at us and makes us suffers is our responsibility for not dealing with it, even when the problem is completely unreasonable and not our faults, but all the same we feel guilt. So lets break from that.

If this resonates with you, join the telegram group I created: ending and no solution in mind (yet)

I am by no means saying that doing nothing is the correct solution, and if it sound like that it’s because I didn’t articulate my thoughts enough. That being said, truth is that something things can be extracted from spiritual knowledge that don’t boil down to have faith in the universe conspire in your favor: that you are not your mind, you are the system that observers you mind, not even that, you are the system that observes the observation and chooses when to engage with the observations of the mind, even deeper, you are the system that know that it is simply the universe looking at itself from a particular perspective. And that’s the only thing you can call yours and be proud of having built it: your understanding of yourself and reality. If you can do even more, you’ll help others improve theirs. Ideally we could construct communities where we, those that understand this, help each other in this journey.

But with all of that you realize: reality will change. Many things may worsen. Some will die or suffer. Maybe you. Maybe someone you love. Suffering may increase. But your goal has not changed: survive for as long as you can, absorb and process information as much as you can and grow. Write about it. Eventually we will build technologies where we can find the writings of others doing the same thing.

None of this resolves the issue. But makes us able to still sane while dealing with it.

The closes thing a modern thinker can have to a philosophical system is a method of not going insane while absorbing information - me, now

Keep going, do what you think is wright, there’s no right or wrong solutions. Do that for as long as you can. And when you can’t anymore, I won’t judge your for anything you choose to do. That’s the best love and compassion I can give to you. Only you know what is too much for you
