I want to know your worldview. I'm a strong believer in the cliche that you find what you're looking for. In effect, the confirmation bias. I find HN to be an honest crowd largely due to the nature of our work. I ask you to take a leap and share your worldview. Maybe we can figure this out together.
Thank you.
All worldviews ultimately will fail to describing the world around us. All philosophies will fail because we cannot hold all the ideas in out head in the same time. All ideas that we have are underpinned by our language, which is a model for the world around us. Ex. we have a word for "tree" and we create a delineation between the "tree" and the forest. But there is no tree in isolation. There is no tree, this is merely a label for our sensory perception of the tree.
To use plato's cave analogy. We do not see the world, we see the shadows. The game of trying to describe the shadows will not give you a valid model. It may have predictive value, but it ends there. So greene's "life is a battlefield" has value, but that does not mean that all human interacts are transnational or that they can be modeled that way.
I try to remind myself that my ideas/views/perceptions fall short of the real thing. Attempting to better understand and describe things is a way of trying to control them. You are this label, this other person is that label.
Ultimately, I try to remember that the only control I have is over my choices and how I chose to see the world.
Look at the size of our solar system compared to our galaxy, compared to our cluster, compared to the observable universe. Put it all in perspective and don't let things bother you so much.
