Once you truly see it, it becomes nearly impossible to sign up and participate in unnecessary strife. I choose my strife freely.
Real is the spirit of Gift putting $4 in my gas tank.
Real is the expression of accomplishment when a nomad emerges from a dumpster with a box full of pizza slices and taquitos to share with a van full of pals.
If you’ve ever considered another way, read about Anarchism!
Beautiful! Keep your bowl clean. And also watch with curiosity what happens inside as you navigate fakeness and authenticity. That can get pretty interesting
you struck right to the heart of the matter. everything is fake to begin with. all of ‘reality’. then the whole human social construct adds another layer. now ai puts on a third. in a way I imagine it can be a blessing because it makes all the falsity that more obvious. and it might stimulate more people to turn towards the more real. great post. short and pithy
This is Great, you know companies exploit what we can do with our hands, well they have in the past. Just thinking about the days when people worked in factories. They used us and used us and now when people want to have something like a blanket or a new dress they don't make it they order it on line. Very rarely do I know people that go to the store anymore. Ai is easy convenient. I think people gladly give them selves up to technology for comfort. Humans are an overworked race. The powers that be see to it. This is why we forget how to use our hands. (1984). At the end of the day who has the energy to create when it's been sucked out of you.
Lies don't exist. Or they are everything. Either way the concept of lie is unhelpful. Things just are. A fake smile is the truest expression of survival in a world that punishes some emotions.
What your authenticity really is about is the fluidity of experience.

“Truth is never separate from ordinary life.” Love this for lots of reasons. Great koan, too. Washing my bowl…
