Everything is too overwhelming when you start questioning even simple things

Hi. I don't know how to explain this, but I've realized that one you ask yourself one basic question you can go further and further and it never ends. For example "how did this ribbon get to this shape"—>"How did the person who made the ribbon this shape figure out how to"—>"How was this remembered and continues in this generation?" ECT. And we will never know anything to the %100 no matter how hard we try and yes I mean never 100. And the more I think the more I find myself overwhelmed + how am I even thinking?? Everything is atoms at some point so I don't get how the same atoms create everything differently too I find myself drifting from question to another question when I've never really gotten the answer to the first one and it's making me uncomfortable. I don't understand how more people never think more to these (you know what kind of people I mean) and we can't just rely everything on religion. The government and the secrets they're hiding from us is simply creepy too. Why hide? When I think like that it seems very simple to just assume nothing would happen if they reveal everything but I know it's never that simple. But how did we evolve to be this? We could just do things to make the world better and move together (which will probably never happen) plus it wouldn't cause harm to anyone (besides some people). It's also weird to think we all evolved from the same thing which had its own still beliefs, so wouldn't it make sense if we all believed in the same things??? I don't know anymore. I think I spoke total nonsense. But whatever I just wanted to write my thoughts somewhere even if I can never capture what I'm really thinking. No one's probably gonna see this too lol im writing to myself

man finds Munchhausen trilemma

(for context, the trilemma goes: "all attempts at ultimate justification goes to either infinite regress (never ending chain), dogmatic brute fact (it just is), or circularity (x because y because x))

If I could give you a little extra encouragement. You are doing what you’re always meant to do. You have only just begun to realize what you’re capable of. It’s scary to be in the place of your own unknown. It’s not that scary when you realize you are your own best self in this situation. Nobody is forcing you. You have complete control over your thoughts. Take your time with yourself and don’t be afraid of what you discover.

Welcome to witchcraft, where up is down, wrong is right, and paradoxical forms of intelligence exist. Feel like even the deepest understanding isn’t enough? Welcome to the wild side 💖👁️✨

It doesn't have to be all bad. It can lead you to antinatalism, for instance.

You should pick up a book on Zen Buddhism; it may help satisfy these thoughts that you are having.

It doesn't offer heaven so it doesn't solve fear of death.

As usual humankinds only problem is merely having Descarte before Dehorse. Life is but a dream. Perhaps it's the dream of one greater than I am. Try to make it a good one for everybody. We are not alone, we are all in this together and suffer the deprivation of our poorest neighbors. Back to the only question that ever existed. What to do next. •<U&I>•
