The product that you are building?
Not Real.
The project you are managing?
Not Real.
The CNN model that you are training?
Not Real.
The new "skill" that you are learning?
Not Real.
Most things in your life are about things that are not Real.
Yes, the people who will use or be "helped" by
your end result, are Real.
But they are as lost as you, dear friend.
Just like you, most things in their life are not Real either.
With every new feature,
with every new milestone in your project,
with every new tweak to your model or every new dataset,
both of you are pushing each other farther away from Reality.
Do you realize the gravity of this?
A larger part of you does not.
A very large number of people like you do not.
What is Reality?
I will not bore you with philosophy.
I will give you direct Truth.
Reality is not the reality you know.
The reality you know is merely a timeline of past, present, and future.
This timeline has mostly to do with you, your family, friends, colleagues,
your work, or your state or country.
A segment of the timeline may even have the "greater good"
about the planet, nature, and the ecosystem of the flora and fauna around you.
But take a moment to understand this...
This reality keeps you from Reality
Reality is that which is Happening.
I must restress.
It is not what you think is happening.
It is that which is already happening.
This entails...
Reality is that which you do not know.
And what you do not know, is what you are detached from.
(And vice versa)
When a human being is detached from that which
is Real, independent of his interests or penchants,
he has no choice but to get pulled deeper into the reality
which he thinks is (true).
It is a vicious cycle.
Whether you like or dislike your work,
it will keep blinding you.
Whether you are satisfied or unsatisfied in your
physical or emotional expressions,
professional or personal endeavors,
the need and desire for things to be the other way,
will drive you deeper into need and desire.
This need or desire will then manifest itself
as an insistence towards
"your reality" to be something else.
This can be in a completely different aspect of your life!
This is often a deterioration of your innate sincerity,
first into all things fun or exciting,
and then into all things insincere.
As I hinted to with my introduction,
technology is playing a central role in this.
Technology is fueling itself in a direction controlled by
the mainstream Mind, Society.
The same society which plants notorious seeds of desecration disguising
as innovation back into the world of technology.
Please understand,
Society feeds on the masses' fear, needs, and desire.
How can technology in the hand of such a control proceed
with sincere incentives?
No, I am not bashing technology.
I am making a completely different point.
No matter the assistance humans have had,
things have always gotten pushed towards a global annihilation of sorts.
In the past it was science
which culminated in the world wars.
Today it is the innovation fueled by computing,
its insistence to outsmart itself,
and the never-ending support it is being provided by those
with ulterior motives like power-lust or if nothing,
to do "collective good".
"Collective good" does not exist my friend.
For all things collective always ends up being
all things distraction and turmoil
for the individuals involved in the collective.
Technology is a glorious tool.
It is a wonderful, wonderful ally.
Let it outsmart itself, I am all for it.
But I will put forward this ...
What for?
If in exchange, all you get is more distraction from Reality,
resulting in excitement or depression,
resulting in medication or venting or crime,
resulting in even more distraction,
man is certainly acting at his dumbest,
and not as the Intelligence he is.
Thank you.
