Old doc - beliefs and axioms

For context, I think I wrote this around Jan 2024. A lot has changed between then and now.

💡 What is a belief?

A belief is your way of looking at the world. It’s your subjective filter on how you interpret what you experience.

Wiki: A belief is a subjective attitude that a proposition is true or a state of affairs is the case.

I believe that X

This is subjective, limited to you and driven from your experiences and understanding.

Core Axioms

Axiom: Things you believe to be true, they’re not verifiable, but are assumed as the ground truths of all derivations coming forward.

A. Life is an free world game. Nothing more, Nothing less. - It’s a interactive game playing in front of you. B. These are your controls in this game. (it’s like a black box, where your inputs are the following) - 100% of your interpretation (perception) (obviously) - 100% of the actions done by your body (your vehicle) C. There are no goals in this game. Just a timer that runs till about 80 years - after which the game shuts down. - However, this is not fixed. There can be fundamentally unpredictable changes to the game and all elements of it, including the timer.

Philosophy

Let’s make decisions driven by our awareness of the constraints.

When Ankur talks about awareness, I think the first thing to be aware are the absolute constraints.

There is only one choice of ‘action’ and ‘perception’ that matters.

YOU HAVE LIMITED TIME. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO USE IT?

when I say ‘life’ in the lines below, I really mean the timespan within which this document stays the same. I’m gonna be shameless about updating things if I find something better, but will rigorously test it.

The beautiful thing is that there’s no right or wrong here or in the world, it’s purely your choice.

• I will spend my life protecting my ‘vibe’ - my perception of the world - that is the most important to me.

Thought Dump

• The best approach would be to fuck around a whole lot, explore the world and then slowly start deciding Whatever parts of the experince you want to and don’t want to explore

• It’s fun to just do things. The very experience of life is fulfulling.

• I live because I believe that every moment and every second is a gift

Fun driven life

Expand the areas of fun

Do more things that you find fun

You’re manupilating the world. It’s gonna come back to you. This is an infinite step markov change

everything is nuanced, not complicated

I think that at this stage in life. For a year or two, I want to surrender to the ‘do things that make you come alive’

Fun doesn’t mean hedonism of pleasure.

Fun can mean something else right?

What about surrendering to nature..i.e. to god?

To observe and interpret nature and run like that?

But aren’t you already?
