• My decision making paradox
• If I’m going to commit to something, I’m going to commit 100%. I not going to be a good worker, I’m going to be the ideal worker.
• I think I’ve said this in another note, but I think statistic analysis and probability are somewhat absurd and funny. Probability is just a guess about a guess.
• Thought: In LoZ OoT, when link picks up the matter sword, he might not be moving to the future, but rather to a parallel universe
• Studying character reveals from the point of view of another character (i.e. Forgetting everything we know about the character and trying to figure out how we’d describe him from only the point of view of another character interacting with him) (inspired by jojo part 5, Abacchio meeting giorno + boat scene)
• Hypothesis: the possibility that anxiety is tied to an unknown sense or a hypersensitivity towards lesser known or felt energies or forces
• Knowledge is understanding stemming from facts while wisdom is understanding stemming from experience. To advance and evolve, we must turn wisdom into knowledge. (an example: we’ve known that rubbing 2 sticks together will make fire, but we didn’t really know why in the beginning – > this is wisdom. However, once we learned that friction creates heat which then creates fire, our wisdom turned into knowledge). Knowledge cannot exist without wisdom, but it has the potential of being much more valuable if it is complete. This is because you cannot teach wisdom, you must develop it with experience. However, knowledge is a much more refined and clear form of wisdom that can be easily passed on. Knowledge is something you can acquire from a book, while wisdom can only be acquired from experiencing the world and reality.
• Thoughts on original sin ->
1. we may be covered with original sin, but our core is goodness.
2. Original sin is a protective cover. It’s a defense mechanism we developed due to the burden of knowledge and wisdom.
3. We learned that evil can exist, so we made it a part of us. How can we protect ourselves if we don’t know what we’re defending ourselves from?
4. It wasn’t a sin to eat from the tree of knowledge and wisdom, it was merely a warning. He did not withhold these powerful tools out of arrogance or greed, but out of love for humanity. He knew the pain that would come from using these tools.
5. We were not punished for taking knowledge and wisdom and using them to benefit ourselves, the pain and suffering are just unavoidable consequences.
6. Original sin creates a barrier between our goodness and the outside world. The more we feed our sin, the more likely we are to survive an outside attack. But this comes at a cost. If we allow the barrier to behind to thick, we risk isolating ourselves from the world around us. In a sense, we separate the goodness in ourselves from the world. This leaves a void where our goodness once was. This void is what we consider evil.
7. Evil cannot be destroyed since it is nothing, the empty space left behind. The way to remove evil from the world is to fill it with overwhelming good. If evil is used in an attempt to destroy evil, then all that is left to “fill the void” is more of the void
8. The longer our goodness is isolated, the weaker it gets. Sin feeds off of our weakened goodness, consuming it until it takes control. Once all of our goodness is consumed, we truly and absolutely become isolated, unable to connect to the world in any sort of way or form. This absolute isolation is what we’d call hell. The reason one can never escape hell is that to escape isolation, you must erase the barrier that is sin. However, if sin has fully consumed you and your goodness, erasing your sin means erasing your existence.
9. Original sin is to our souls as clothes are to our bodies
