Is anyone else very zen/heroic about all this?

​

I’ve been guilty of replying the ‘chop wood carry water’ meme about disclosure etc and it’s a fundamental belief of mine

But something else that attaches to that is, fuck you, throw any reality at me, I’m human, I define my existence

Tell me I’m bits in a 12 dimensional computer in a teenagers bedroom: fuck you I’m human I define my existence

Tell me I’m a container for souls: fuck you I’m human I define my existence

Tell me all religions are fake for fun and we’re a circus: fuck you I’m human I define my existence

Tell me all thoughts knowledge technology came from the other: fuck you I’m human I define my existence

Disclose the nature of the world and reality to me? Fuck it chop wood carry water same as always

To be human is to be heroic, to face guaranteed suffering and the absolute void of unknown with a smile a laugh and a middle finger. That’s what it means to be human. Yes I will suffer. Yes I know nothing. Yes I keep going in spite of all of it. Fuck you I’m human I define my experience.

Not sure what philosophy I’m tapping into but I’d love to hear any other perspectives in this vein
