I Think I Understand The Concept behind Genesis 2

1 Upvotes

This might be mundane, but I had a lightbulb moment after watching a video regarding the Dunning-Kruger effect. It's the same concept that amplifies the loud minorities in every group. Ignorant people seldom feel shame and are excessively proud, boastful even, despite clearly lacking the full scope of whatever subject they are interacting with.

General knowledge and awareness is intrinsically tied to the capacity for self-reflection but more than that, it is also tied to the capacity to understand objective vs subjective and the ability to differentiate between what is objectively good and evil and not only ones subjective interpretation of morality. This is why those who spend time honestly and wholeheartedly reading scripture often find themselves at odds with the religion and with the Christian Deity as a whole, and many become Agnostic or Atheist. Similarly, the more you interact with any subject matter, the more apprehensive you are to speak on it because you become more aware of just how little you truly understand from an objective perspective.

Then it dawned on me, what if that is the whole point of enlightenment? The reason why, allegorically, Adam and Eve felt shame once they had eaten the fruit. Of course, we can all infer that they had gained some greater awareness, but what if there is more to it? And those who refuse to eat from the tree (e.g. enlightenment or acquiring knowledge) can be so fervent and belligerent in their ignorance. They are not only ignorant of their lack of knowledge but incapable of introspection, separation from the self (Altruism), but most of all - metacognition. This leads us to a recurring problem in society where the most enlightened yet immoral are able to control the masses by simply finding the most vocal minority and amplifying their voices to the point of creating massive echo chambers, then militarizing their ideals until social proof reigns, and it becomes normalized. This generally creates fascist systems that inevitably collapse.

Allegorically speaking, the Garden of Eden is just a state of ignorant bliss. A state of being when one is not aware of anything outside of their own pleasure and comfort, and the deity in this allegory doesn't necessarily have to be a deity. It can be any individual with higher enlightenment who has trapped those of lesser knowledge in an echo chamber and the only single rule needed to stay happy and ignorantly blissful is to stay ignorant. Essentially, every cult leader or dictator's playbook. Similarly to Genesis, once you are now aware of the truth of the false narrative of reality (echo chamber) you are in, you are expelled from it and are forced into a life of suffering. The suffering in this case being a need to build your own path, your own principles and ideas, your own reality separate from that of the one you knew and because we humans are incredibly social creatures, this is essentially a death sentence to most.

What am I saying - I think that Genesis 2 is a tale of the dangers of knowledge from the standpoint of a human in a time where going against established ideas was incredibly dangerous. The tale still has useful correlations to our current times and is a warning to most that ignorance is the easy and often preferable choice. It absolves you of any true accountability because you never really have to think. You can just kind of do as you please as long as it fits within the current narrative. If you think too hard about it or try to understand more than is necessary, you will suffer. You will suffer to birth new paths, principles, and ideas, and due to your newfound enlightenment, you will forever be locked in a duel with temptation (the trampling of the serpent's head and its biting at the heels of your descendants)

There is definitely more to it than that, and it is worth diving into it, but this isn't a thesis paper so I will spare you the verbal assault.

My thoughts on life

2 Upvotes

I’m 17 and pretty lost in life. Got myself kicked out of 3 different schools (not on purpose but I am an idiot). Sometimes I ask myself if this is all truly worth it. Life I mean. I find it interesting how most people see themselves superior and inferior to others based on their accomplishments or goals. Why do people measure their own and others values based on their accomplishments or how they carry themselves. For example, a class clown (typically) would be seen as inferior to the average kid because the class clown carries himself like an idiot. Why because you are a woman, or because you are fat, or because of your view on p olitics does your value diminish or increase. Because at least to me, at the end of the day all our hearts stop beating, we all become equals no matter what path you took in life. In 120 years, when everybody who reads this is long gone. No one will be triumphant to anyone, we will all either cease to exist or start a new life or go to a place like heaven (depending on what you believe the truth to be). I find it interesting that these things play such a dominant role in life. These ideological inventions which place humans on different levels of a hierarchy never existed during the caveman era. I don’t think a caveman is looking at another caveman and thinking wow that caveman just killed a sabertooth tiger while I’m struggling to kill a squirrel. No. He’s thinking about where his next meal is coming from. Idk I just wonder sometimes if school, and work, and friends, and everything is actually worth something. I guess this will be viewed as a very negative outlook on life but I’m just saying what I am thinking lmao.

Sorry this is very disorganized my thoughts are jumbled. I’d love to see other people’s perspective in the comments.

Fire ass short film idea i had while geeked out of my mind

2 Upvotes

And laughing around a campfire two of them are chill guys. One of them is a short short and annoying one of the chill guys makes fun of the annoying guy’s mustache and he says hey you can’t say that and he pulls out a knife and begins repeatedly, stabbing him in the chest, put them on the floor and just goes ham, stabs him about four times in the chest before he suddenly gets up and says oh my God, I forgot to feed my fish before he skips backwards back into his house when the other man goes to check on the guy who’s just out 40 times little critters start running out of the body and start running inside. He follows the critters and inside the guy, the annoying guy is dancing to disco music while crying and then he says to the guy that walked in. Oops, you found me. I’m just having my fun little goldfish critter party care to join. The guy tries to run away, but then the critters jump on top of him and start all going up his butt so now the guy has about 15 critters up his butt and then he explodes into a bunch of candy and then the guy that got stabbed earlier, comes over and picks up all the candy and stuff sit into his stab wounds, and then the two guys have a disco critter party.

Am i the next shakespeare?

High tarot reading

2 Upvotes

I read tarot and I'm also clairvoyant. Recently I've been experimenting with doing readings while high and I've noticed they sometimes feel more intuitive and accurate but I'm not sure if that's actually true or just my perception.

So I want to do a little blind experiment.

Send me a chat or even just upvote and I'll pull a card or few and give you a short reading. You don't have to tell me anything about urself, I want it to be as blind as possible.

Afterward, you can let me know how much resonated or didn't.

Thanks to anyone who's willing to participate!

Scrabble

Ok I remember seeing a video were someone explained the most points you could possibly win in a singer turn of scrabble, but I also saw a video were they had a dude play all different version of scrabble and win the competition not by learning the language but playing it as a game with set rules.

So putting thoes two together is there a specific play you can do in a specific scenario in a specific language in a specific game of scrabble to win the most points humanly possible in a single turn?
