It is an insanely difficult to survival. And it is naturally a behavior that we can only survive with evolution and evolution mean changes with progress. But progression is fiercely challenging and it requires constantly collective efforts from humanity and with that mean a no permanent comforts. Seeing how USA competing with China is a great example of modern days competing, not for a competition of people between great nations bit also a competition for survival of civilization. Think of a man without purpose that he keep laying on the couch with a pizza and six pack on the side, snacks all around the floor, TV is on all day long. It is a discomfort that having a senior woman at ages 50s keep pushing me from the back in the airport checking line, and the airline is lacking of planes so I was being put to the 10 AM flight which basically means my flight was delayed for 4 hours. But anyways, I am continuing my writings. The idea of building a strong and right mindset by so discomfort and negative thinking can be channeling smoothly instead of abruptly. You can think that a mind of philosopher has a uniquely difference to a normal mind is that they can reduce internal pressure without letting anger accumulates and abrupt in a bad way.
Back to the topic of where we wear speaking about constant moving requires efforts, it is the fact that life is about a combination of bitter and sweet, without bitter, sweet cannot be tasty, therefore it is required to have both flavors in life. Life without challenges or purposes is worthless, meaningless. Thus, we always need to seek purpose in life and aim for it.
Maybe in recent years, or at last 2 years of my life, I was distracted not because I bored with my job, but more life I am seeking for more meaning. Like hobbies and curing the lack of needs. A need of having love and belonging, I was constantly a trade off for loneliness and progress, it was always difficult to have like-minded people to share thoughts. The internal world has always been empty and difficult to get people in, whoever get in we call them closed friends or soul mates. Those are who understand you well, and can make you full-filled with need of love and connection. As we climbing up the ladder of hierarchy of needs, we start realize more true happiness is something rarely achievable by any physical means.
A great economic system is which keep people busy and being productive. Not just people need to work but also want to work. Think about Covid19 or all the modern days wars and trade wars. It is all about collect people’s money and keep it in a safe place: it is reinvested and redistributed to places where it need the most: eg, AI, cosmic discovery and cures of diseases. Human civilization improvement is a collective efforts. It required people to constantly putting effort in, every single times and days. Thus, a single day of taking a break (or without working) is actually a day further from future. This is not meant people to constantly working, but it is a must to make Earth becomes a more of a dream house of mankind, and of course we aim for not Earth, we are seeking meaning beyond Earth. But human eventually reach there anyways, just see how much life has been changed in hundred years from century 19 to 21. We have never thought of flying on sky like birds and able to observe the cosmic hundred millions of km away. We also never expect such level of automation like today world where robots and AI can do a lot of works from the farms to the factories and provide goods and services.
The capabilities of robots arms and AI, the brain of machines will eventually replace most repetitive works of human if it reach a level of self decision making and the robots hand has a level of flexibility that can replace human hands. By that time, the systems that we built has to be refined in a way to keep human brains busy, make it keep thinking and being innovative, if not, with people being idle, our brain is foggy and body is inactive, then it is a dead state of a living creature, civilization will collapse and only ruins remains: a bunch of old machineries, robots, buildings sustain on its own/ but it will eventually shutdown without the innovation brains.
AI and machines will never be able to achieve such level of intelligence of a human brain, which is the most complex entities on Earth to be replicated or artificially creates. It is God’s creation that human will take years to replicate. Of course, there always be possibility but just think of if one day human can generate an Earth itself, it is just that cosmic is far too vast for human, so this (the thinking of we can be God one day) can only live in thought of us.
