i am no one and no thing
nothing
and yet
i am the pinnacle of life itself
born from the trillions raised to trillions of variables that have resulted from
the
cause and effect
of
luck and timing
over the course of 13.8 billion years
approximately
a humble paradox of the supreme ego
for whatever reason
people don’t use reason to inform their reality
i think its because they either
don’t know
or
don’t care
to figure it out for themselves
it being everything
the funny thing is you cannot prove it exists
you cannot prove anything ever completely
as we shall see
but that’s no way to live your life
so
that begs the question
what is the best way to live your life?
all time and all space
now
the amount of information we think we know and have access to is
truly significant
the amount of information we think we don’t know renders the above
truly insignificant
and still we think we are so damn smart
i am not an expert but i am not an idiot
i am not a liar but i do not always tell the truth
i am a hard worker that is inherently lazy
i am a physicist and i am a poet
i manage change and i am managed by change
i have no ambition but i take the lead
i have no passion but i desire everything
i don’t want to die but i am sure i will
as will you
as will everything
i read a lot
i think a lot
i drink a lot
i want to define my reality
so
i will stand on the shoulders of giants
just like all the great minds before me
not that i am a great mind
but
i am greater relative to others
at least
i think therefore i am
assembled herein are
the thirteen tenets
that rule my reality
and i wish
will rule yours
from here, from there
from everywhere
it comes full circle
as you will begin to notice throughout this work and this life
recursivity
these things rule our world
and
define it for our simple brains
simply
so
i am going to express my philosophy
using examples and extremisms
using pictures and prophecies
using approximations and anachronisms
using conjunctions and contradictions
yet all based on math and reason
because reason is reasonable
and math is hard to argue with
the point of this work is that there is no point
the meaning of life is that there is no meaning
only that which you decide for yourself
so
decide wisely
don’t take my word for it
don’t even take the words of the thirteen
(always give credit where credit is due)
go reason and research
go ponder and pontificate
go forth and be a reasonable human
go figure it out for yourself
it being everything
