To Choose or not to Choose

Make your choice, because if you don't you already have.

To Choose or not to Choose

The world is not as it seems, the fabrication of society is merely a construct that is designed in order to achieve a certain goal in the functioning and normalization of human interaction. This means, more simply, that society is designed with something in mind.

Society is designed around an idea which comes from society itself, how society thinks it should be. Visions of perfection exist in a myriad of ways, visions from the media, products, and advertisements that want to be a certain way.

The very existence of labels is in fact foolishly misunderstood. Biological sex is a physical thing that can be determined. People argue about the existence of genders. This is foolish because there must be infinitely many genders, because stereotypes and labels are merely crystallizations of reality. To define something that is unique in such a way that it promotes misunderstanding by coalescing the idea with ideas that are created to promote a beginning understanding is foolish.

This assertion derives that individuals must all be different people. People make choices based on their perceptions, and their memories are very much responsible for shaping these perceptions. But are choices based on our perceptions? Does free will even exist? What is existence? What is the essence of existence? Free will couldn’t exist without the context for it to exist in. What does this mean? That the very nature of free will corresponds to its existence, meaning that the nature and meaning of existence is created with existence itself.

This must mean that since the nature and essence of an individual is only created with their existence, that every individual must be unique. If this is the case, then their interpretations of existence, and things such as genders must be unique.

This applies to all things, and if we want to move forward in the world we must critically analyze what our own existence is. We must ask ourselves who we are, what we want from this world. This is the nullification of a majority of the world’s problems. Many people are sheep and do not ask, they fall to the whims of cruel people whose intentions are purely to strip others of their unique existences and force them into servitude to further their own corrupt intentions.

When people stand together against this, the world will change greatly. People speak of great weapons and they fight wars which are merely distractions from reality. The true war is that of understanding, for it is the panacea for a world that is poisoned with ignorance. Recently many people did not vote in the election with excuses along the lines of: if I have to pick between two evils, I would rather not pick at all.

This is the case in the war against ignorance. The sides are ignorance and understanding, and if you choose not to choose to fight for a side, you are willfully supporting the side of ignorance. The side of ignorance is inherently against the uniqueness and true worth of the individual. So you have to ask yourself, which side will you fight for? Fighting is not a choice, because to exist is to fight.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
