Technically a 'Philosophy', Really the Truth

[hikikomorizombie]

I've come back to SaSu bc I've been a hikikomori for nearly 3 years now, & something finally came of it. I think I've pieced together the truth of humanity, & I've corroborated that thought across multiple works spanning multiple times. From Schopenhauer to Albert Camus to Marcus Aurelius to Frantz Fanon to Bhagat Singh to Sartre to Buddhism to Gnosticism, etc.

This truth has freed me from the mental prison that brought me to this site in the first place. Unfortunately I can't enact/try to live with it, bc I was so focused on freeing myself mentally that when I finally did, I looked around to find that I was in the permanent prison of a degenerative physical disability that was missed due to childhood neglect.

Now I'm torn between spreading it while fully knowing that ppl either can't or won't understand it & will go out of their way to misunderstand + misinterpret + misconstrue it, or dying w/it & basically deny & hide the truth & it's existence but preserve it's truthfulness. What would you do, what do you think I should do? Plus, I figured that if there was any chance of finding someone who understands, it'd be on here.

I guess it depends how you think people's reactions may affect you. As you predict, I also agree that some people will very likely have contadicting ideas and will likely challenge what you say. Especially if you present it as fact. So- if you think that will really upset or annoy you then- maybe it's better to create something more like a mainfesto to leave behind eventually. That way- your ideas will still be in the world but, you won't have to hear any negative backlash.

I suppose you can be the only judge of how these ideas will likely be received. How different they are to what's already out there. You mentioned you read other famous philosophers. How were/ are their ideas received?

Also, I suppose it depends on whether you think these ideas are transformative. Will they help people to live a better life? In which case- it would seem like a good thing to share them as soon as possible.

I suppose I'm curious as to whether you think you will be proposing anything new. I'm probably existentially limited but, I can't think of all that many theories that haven't already been expressed.

I suppose generally though, I think you should maybe be prepared for people to listen to this as a theory for you. Not necessarily something they willl automatically believe or follow. So- it probably depends what you want to achieve. To just air your views, to have them taken seriously and examined closely or, to create a revolution. Will it upset you to be challenged or, can you still hold on to what you believe despite that? Will it matter if people choose their own beliefs?

I don't think I'd care about people's willful ignorance, as it just further proves the truth of The Cycle, & is what I'm expecting'll be the standard reaction to it. I don't plan on engaging in debates about it or answering asinine questions about it, bc it's fully fleshed out & is a self-sealing system.

What bothers me is their willful ignorance will lead to the pollution/sullying/desecration of the truth. Or the ppl that kinda understand it will latch onto & assimilate it & go around spreading some wrong, fucked up version of the truth. If I could put it into the world like a monument or science/museum exhibit, & have ppl shit on it or understand it or take pieces from it then move on, that'd be bearable bc the truth is still the truth, it's intact & unsullied. What's not bearable is the thought of putting it out in the world & ppl doing all of that, & corrupting + diluting + shittifying the truth by putting their paws all over it

As for ur other questions--yes, it is new (unfortunately & bafflingly), & I'm not sure if it's transformative. Discovering/writing it & then seeing that there were already pieces of it/the truth in other philosophies & religions was transformative for me, but idk how others would react to it as I have no one to get a reaction or feedback from. & what I'm trying to achieve is just spread the truth, but it needs to be able to stay the truth, uncorrupted & unsullied

For something to be displayed in a museum, it has to be valued by experts I suppose. So- maybe it would be better to get your ideas accredited by other people who are well respected. I'm not really sure who they are in the philosophy world though.

Ultimately though, everything that isn't a fact gets interpreted. Even religions that have been around for centuries. Individuals likely still have their own ideas of exactly what they believe. With the internet, I suppose more people are vocal about their beliefs and spreading their version of 'the truth'. I'm not sure you could stop that. It's almost the very nature of what we are- thinking beings that form our own opinions.

I suppose personally, I struggle at a philosophy being factual too. Because it's surely a way we most relate to seeing the world and trying to exist in it. We may not even be 100% convinced that, for example individualism is the genuine or even the best way to live. But, we may adopt it because it seems like a good strategy to survive in this world.

Same goes with religions. We may take parts we like from various religions to inform us how to live a good life.

If your theory is the truth though. Nothing will alter that. It will still exist- whether people choose to believe it or not. I suppose there could be bastardized versions of it but, if there is very clear source material, there is always the original to look back to.

I suppose- if it comes out while you are alive, you are here to defend it and correct those who misinterpret it. If you don't have the energy though, I think it does largely come down to what you think your reactions might be to combatative responses, misunderstood interpretations or, people simply ignoring it.

Is it a general outlook on life or, is it a kind of guide on how to live the best life type of thing? I'm sorry to hear of your physical disability circumstances but- that's important to bear in mind too I think. I'm not really sure if you're hoping for people worldwide to embrace these ideas and be free. But, they may also find reasons as to why they can't.

I suppose that's the issue generally I find with philosophy. As in- things like nihilism make a horrible amount of sense but then practically speaking- imagine the chaos we'd be in if no one followed any rules, no one worked etc. I doubt things would be better if no one bothered doing anything. So, I think there can be practical reasons it can be hard to follow certain philosophies- even if they make sense.

It's neither & both of those things. It's kind of just the systemizing of & explanation of human nature.

People even use truth & facts for their own interpretations, so I know I wouldn't care about correcting people's ignorance towards my philosophy/the truth, whether it was purposeful or not. I just don't know how to best spread it while still maintaining the truth.

I guess I'll just keep recycling this post & any1 who's interested in knowing it can ask/dm me about it directly?Even though SaSu doesn't put my posts on the New Posts page for some reasonlol.

Maybe that would help. To see one or two people's responses to guage what kind of overall response is likely.

I suppose if the truth is the most important thing then, maybe a very condensed, simple message might be best- if that's possible. One people can misinterpret or adapt less easily.

I'm curious to hear what this could be but then, I may not be the best candidate! I'm not the most avid reader of philosophy or anything else. I also have the annoying habit of playing devil's advocate. Even with myself so- that would probably be annoying!

Has it changed how you feel about life? I suppose when I hoped Philosophy held the answers to life, I hoped I'd read something that would make sense of it all. Has it made you feel better or worse about human nature?

I'd love to share it w/you, but you're right that the devil's advocate, contrarian type is 1 of the types of ppl I'm avoidingjust like how I avoid the optimistic 'just journal & exercise', 'think positively' type of people.

It doesn't make u feel better or worse, as it's not meant to; it's just the truth, the explanation of our species. I'd like it to make people feel the same way reading about how cars or ACs work makes them feel, but ik that's a pipe dream bc humans are emotional & become even more so when discussing ourselves. I think for most people it'd probably make them feel worse, if they were even capable of understanding/accepting that life isn't ultimately balanced or just or wtv they need to believe.

For me, discovering it was like a revelation. I finally found what I've been searching for my whole life, & then when i went searching for things to either prove or disprove it, I saw so much proof I couldn't believe it's never been pieced together before. Bc the truth's already out there, just in pieces scattered across multiple works from multiple time periods. It's probably how colorblind people felt when John Dalton discovered it & created the term. Unfortunately, as I said, I'll never be able to actually get to try & live w/this truth or enact it due to my newfound disability, which is why I'm now torn between spreading or saving/preserving it
