Money and life
Index note education grooms workers; space race; mother's death
Need money, but after having it, it is no use if no one works for it. or if you can only buy useless shiz with it, that would be just spendthrift and not really the benefit of having more money, but just another habit.
There was something else I wanted to write here, I forgot, … oh here it is:
But how do you get people to work for the things that you want, or are needed, money is the reward for them, and their work is the reward for you. But, then the people must be taught, taught ached to work for it, in the system that generates that. This makes current education systems a brutal reality, even seen as essential (due to limiting sheep like survival behavior of most human), it grooms people to work jobs, which serve a greater purpose. So all this to serve something, while its not all meaningless, as it also reaps rewards that otherwise most wont have. Of course some will get lucky, and some use unfair means to achieve what they want. Universe of course does not restrict (I guess), and its all open exploration. However, sometimes the cosmic pressure on the heads can say to a human being ‘See how weak you are’, and one might just get controlled by the walls and limits and boundaries of humans.
However, this is just a bleak dark view of what is needed. There are all sides to anything, but not always according to human perspective. If all humanity is wiped out, its good for another species to thrive on the planet. Same for dinosaurs, if they didn’t get extinct, humans wouldn’t have been able to evolve, but some things would have happened in some form anyways. If you can eat, and survive, from AI point of view, that is already an intelligent system, which is hard to replicate, but in this case maker is the universe, and not a narrowed human hands and minds (although minds can be vast, so I guess it would mean intelligence, which is based on knowledge, which is a crystallized basis information of this world/universe).
But so the point is being, people must be told to or made spread awareness of what is required to achieve, for example, for space race, they needed to give something big to hope for by all, because it needed the support of many, to concentrate all of humanity’s power and resources to somewhere where they wanted, and that lead to remarkable developments which are never replicated again, ofc. due to other pressing matters (maybe that was just a weekend party, among many work week days). And to get people to do, one must spread ideas about it in the not just community, but globally, harnessing global potential. For example, research is such a common human endeavor, that it harnesses global collaboration, mostly without any animosity, as all nations collaborate together despite the ongoing conflicts and past history, and there can still be differences, the differences of the power, ethical boundaries, money (which is of course borrowed labor from the future, (how else would you spend it on, would you burn it like some do, but it can always be printed more, so its essentially pointless and waste of energy, but just gives a message)). Maybe that is all there is all I know, there is trading but it involves exchange of goods, and not really free. I see nothing more happening on this planet, seeing it develop, new things are born, some things are destroyed, some people sticking around and hopeful thinking this will be it for a while while some losing hope and leaving their goals searching for a new thing and could still might land up at old places they don’t want to be in and have let go of it. But everytime, its a new state of mind, and one’s life is not endless, its a mortal’s life, unless its no more. If something cannot be conquered, it could be one’s death, but life in itself does not stop, it never has on this planet, and perhaps neither in this universe, somewhere, there is always a possibility of something, but in a mortal’s life its limited, till it becomes some form of immortal. Well current AI-robotic agentic systems do not decay like biology, and can always be replaced with new information and body parts, and consciousness might just be a thing of nature, and not only humans (no surprises there anyways), and this just breaks my view on reality, and I desire nothing no more. But again, I don’t know. as I always add, because even if someone dies, they revolve around the concept of reincarnation (perhaps its just a stability cap for mental information attachment, but who knows), also, something beyond human senses and grasp can never be achieved by human, perhaps time will aid in achieving great deal of things, this universe by itself could be limited (which one might think be limitless), or they might be thinking of multiverses (which is just different definition space which allows proper imagination of how it would be like, but the same thing, coming naturally, or to me at least).
But some say money is not all, here is another thing. Another reality, along personal social lines is that partner search according to your own standard drains you out to the point, and probably most don’t have that luxury, I mean look at their faces some are disabled, they would never dream of getting something that some would even dream of. They are forced by the nature of their own existence to feel happy or content with what they have and they live it so they respect so they are at least existing somehow. But of course that does not keep them away, they could dare just to be extinguished or satisfied. And all fabric of reality is stably put there, suffering and enjoying in human existence till it fades away for however reason. Birth can be joyous but death is sad and miserable. My mother must have felt so happy when I was born, but she is no more, and I can’t imagine the sadness she would feel if I would fade away. But I felt numb as if it was the time for her to go, but most pain felt was by my father who took it all out in a bloody artistic wall by the side of the road, the very thing he works for, of course because of someone else’s fault. The detachment in modern society is real, or maybe it is what is needed for what comes later. That does not mean there is total detachment, as there is attachment to new things, to new life, but with memory of those gone shaping the minds of the present (in a way so they are not really gone).
But world has plenty of people that will work for money with passion and self interest, and there is plenty to live to till one not wants to (perhaps due to just nature of pain and suffering of life), and perhaps everything is meant to exist on top of it.
