If the universe is everything, then it already contains every possibility, every pattern, every intuitive thing you could throw at it. To think that somehow you are wise beyond universe and this we call intellect, is very weird to me. You did not discover anything new with your intellect, you simply discovered a bit more truth - truth that was already there all along. We are born naive, clueless creatures. Our primary purpose is to become a bit more wise than the previous generation, to discover more of the truth that is the universe. We have children so we can continue discovering more of this truth. Some measure this as progress.

Personally, I think progress, or this discovery is the ultimate goal of humanity. It is not for personal gain, no prolonging of your bloodline. The individual ultimately doesn't matter. We can only progress as a collective species - by compounding our knowledge and advancing it one generation after another. Yes, at the micro viewpoint, the individual is everything - most progress in history is due to individual effort. But, if we zoom out, no single person's progress matters, if those that come after them don't apply this knowledge.

I say all of this knowing that my truth is less complete than many of others who discovered more. I should stay humble, stfu and learn more 🤣🫡 I know nothing. ✌️
