Blackpill The true problem of human perception is that it attaches meaning where there is none

[ColdLightOfDay]

Our inability to see the truth of our reality stems from the limitations of our senses and the inability of our mind to discern truth from the misleading world they construct for us. Sight is the sense on which we most deeply rely, as it is our most useful tool in navigating our way through the world in purely functional terms.

The problem arises in that ‘meaning’ is humanity’s most coveted property, but sight and meaning do not match up in the slightest. When a human beholds a beautiful sunset, it they perceive it to mean something to them; that they are emotionally in tune with the universe, or that God is watching over them. This stems from the deepest annals of the human mind and it’s never ending quest to find meaning, even where there is none. The beautiful colour in a rainbow is not a message from God, it is the result of a flawed construction of reality, framed from within your own mind and thus, the fact you find it beautiful says something uniquely about you and your species, not about the meaning or significance of reality as a whole.

Human minds ascribe meaning when judging the faces of their own kind. When they see an ugly face they perceive an ugly soul or an ugly vibe before them, and respond in kind. What they fail to realise is that souls do not exist and a ‘vibe’ is merely an abstract unmoored emotional response to sensory stimulae, rather than responding to expressions of some ‘deeper meaning’ they are infact responding to misleading survival triggers embedded in their evolutionary psychology, which in the grand scheme of reality have no real meaning at all.

‘Meaning’ is an illusion, and the senses are the smoke and mirrors through which it is sustained. Remember this the next time you are mistreated for the way you look, it is merely the expression of a monkey brain’s inability to identify meaning, it trivialises the convention of judging someone on their looks and although it may accurately be described as little more than an extremely convoluted and drawn-out cope, there is undeniable closure in knowing that your enemy’s defilement of you is born out of his (or her) own delusion about the nature of meaning, and the human idiocy of believing that one thing is better than another simply because the illusion of sight and the insanity of the human perception of a relationship between meaning and sight suggesting it to be so.

This is so high IQ that it sounds retarded.

 

[Mainländer]

High IQ, but too atheistic/materialistic to me tbh. If I think like that I can't function, I have the soul of a poet. I need poetic meaning

 

[jerrycan dan]

Human beings cannot perceive anything properly, just perceive it with their monkey brains in the most monkey-brained way possible. You will NEVER, EVER be able to perceive the world objectively as it really is because you exist trapped inside a monkey brain.

If only people knew how bad things really are.

Then look for it within yourself, because you will not find it in the world around you, and if you do find it; have the knowledge to recognise that it is meaning personal to you, and not a reflection of the realty’s meaning.

I am not against meaning from within that one is capable of recognising as unique to himself - much of human violence throughout history stems from the inforced prescription of meaning from one set of humans onto another, be that through religion, political ideology or something else.

I agree, the human biases in my brain are of constant frustration to me when trying to get an grip on objective reality.

That "you have to look inside you" tip is everywhere; Buddhism, Yoga, The Power of Now... but it's just too abstract to me, what should I exactly do?

I know it’s cliché, but I advise you try meditation. I am actually not spiritual in any regard, I absolutely do not have any belief in any kind of metaphysical forces or anything like that, but I love meditation purely as an introspective, cognitive activity and as a way of having more control over my emotions and more acute recognition of when own mind is actually working against me be over-focusing on useless topics that add nothing but stress.

It’s how I discern these truths on meaning and that problems aren’t really problems if they can be alleviated by merely a change in visualisation or mentality:

I have tried to meditate before but I have ADHD so it's basically impossible to me

Maybe I should try walking meditation. I like to walk alone.

Assuming that evolution is accurate, we have evolved novel sensory, solutions for the human body to adapt to its environment: skin to touch; nose to smell; tongue to taste; ears to sound; eyes to sight; the rational mind (consciousness, “soul”) is an accessory to the superior brain - an intelligence that facilitates complex survival mechanisms like manufacturing vehicles for farming or mining, in order to take advantage of natural resources or higher socialisation whether it be small farmer communities or hierarchical nation states.

But the problem lies in how unlike we are to bacteria, rats or the apes , in that they are solely enslaved by the deep recesses and whims of the limbic instinctual brain: which though pragmatic in ensuring survival, it is incapable for them to understand the weight of decisions, actions not made by themselves, for themselves. Chronologically, we have to assume that these neural systems present in both ourselves and them preceded us and thus remain as a reminder of what who we were.

This is evolutionary vestigiality, since logically it would make sense that the inferior limbic system would be cast aside in favour of a high iq mind however, functionally we know this just isn't the case. Much like our digestive system manifesting hunger or the testes manifesting sexual drive every action we take are carefully contrived, craving an endless cycle of dopamine highs from satisfying are animal brain and dopamine lows and cortisol, serving as punitive measure lest our arrogance gets to the better of us, that is, the self-evident arrogance of western notions regarding identity and self-worth. Solipsism is one of many.

Many of you lurkers who revel in reading this shit are probably autistic, or at least on the spectrum so to make it clear to those who like to insulate themselves in cold "high-iq" logic and self-serving narcissistic "intellectualism" or whatever cynical compartmentalised models you navigate through life with. The world is inherently illogical, since your perceptions are flawed, hence that nature - your body and the reality in which your body interacts with is in no way an ally.

No hopes or expectations to begin with. Nothing.

This is is quite a difficult concept to grasp, but I trust you will understand. If not, then I want you to look at a mirror right now. The biological brain will always fundamentally be in constant struggle, composing of at least 2 often-conflicting selves, and even if you were not consciously mindful to this before, your subconscious was aware of this fact before your first thought formed in your tiny little mind.

Fragile, prone to neuroticism and mental illness: that look in the mirror, in that once typically cowardly disgusting face morphs and merges into a disconnected series of lines, nothing more than fading shades of yellow, pink and black. Pathetic.

Walk outside and stare with curiosity at how seemingly sociopathic the unimaginative smiling normie is, retards that will eventually waste away, cold miserable, laud in the irony of how the leading cause of natural death is stress related heart disease, merely reacting to whatever life throws their way; and through the smiles, their mistreated bodies aching for the mercy of death.

This is ultimate poetry in motion

Yes, what a great last paragraph especially - free will is an illusion and the mind is nothing more than an algorithm responding to stimulae that, despite appearing profound, is at best binary.

True, most of society’s bullshit is actually easily identifiable, especially when you’re ostracised. I just enjoy analysing this shit in depth, it’s a just another cope really I guess.

Humans are just fundamentally irrational creatures. We are more emotional than we are logical.

it's true.
even the words you wrote are only incomprehensible signs if I don't give them a meaning.

A perfectly rational being would value the mental acuity of a human mind to the same degree a human mind values the mental acuity of a single-celled ameba.

Haha, I certainly take that as a compliment. He really added something unique to the forum, it is extremely unfortunate that we have lost him.
