Yeah, this kind of obvious truth is troublesome. I have a closely related haiku (original context https://climatejustice.social/@kentpitman/113603713366583693):

we, and Time itself, pretend
we were here at all

I’m just saying. Maybe I die tonight and it’s okay. Maybe it’s not tragic. That’s what’s unknown.
Why are we so afraid of dying? I mean, if I die tonight, does it really matter?
Is it simply because death is a mystery? Or is it that we feel life is too precious to let go?
What if life is the worst, and death is precious?
I think it’s because even with all the suffering, we enjoy the experience. Sugar, love, music, sex, flowers, rain…maybe we’ll miss it. Or maybe our consciousness ends.
I know I’m not afraid to die.
@lproven @theregister as much as I love the #freedom and #autonomy of #linux it's definitely a #purest #technically #adept approach to self #digitization
The majority of people I've worked with want nothing to do with knowing how anything works. They just want their computer to auto-load all their bents like #magic , be able to access anything on the #Network without getting permission and install any #app on their #device they choose.
#Government , #libraries especially, need to untether from #broZone #architecture and do things for themselves again.
I'm not a #statistician and only have #anecdotal #evidence to go by, but I don't see a whole lotta folks doing, or even wanting, to do things themselves. Let alone, pick up the #skills required to do so.
The worst part, the people actually willing and able to help, can't afford to, because it doesn't #pay well, enough.
So, we all have to figure out a way to fix "that" first. But, that would require everyone believing doing #work themselves is better for them and the #Earth in the long run rather than #automating each and every #human #interaction out of #existence
#MuzakLessons #Automation Don't lose your #touch make them #visible and #purposeful each time; every #time
YouTube has decided to serve me up videos about #atheism today, and I don't think I'll ever really understand how it ever came to be that in a modern technological society, we are still being put into the position of being forced to justify #nonbelief in things for which there is no #evidence of #existence.
#OnusProbandi. The #BurdenOfProof of epistemological truth is upon the person who makes the assertion. Atheism asserts nothing, at all. "There is no $deity," is not an assertion of anything.
The koan of why. Why are we here? Why do we exist? What are your thoughts on this? Where do you find answers to these types of questions? @buddhism @dharma @dhamma @meditation #zen #zenmaster #zenteachings #dharma #buddhism #meditation #mind #spirituality #spiritualjourney #koan #philosophy #why #existence https://youtube.com/shorts/-QJIb_R5adU
What happens when you have an existential crisis? Do you make a major change or do you keep busy until it passes? #question #life #lifehacks #existence
The #Arab-#Israeli conflict isn’t a normal conflict, and the cause of Arab #Palestine still isn’t a normal cause of national liberation.
The fundamental fact of this conflict, that one side believes the other’s #existence is a metaphysical crime for which a just resolution can only be #elimination, means that standard diplomatic practice is much harder to apply at best, and gets scrambled, inverted, and abused at worst
I throw these bits out
into the void—will any
of them outlive me?
What inanimate object do you wish you could eliminate from existence?
