Hi. My name is Seattle. I'm addicted to paradigm shifting.
I don't think its that bad of an addiction... but lately it seems that I live life to find completely new ways of seeing the world. Truthfully its
like the opposite of being driven by my ego...
Most people are not able to accept paradigm shifts easily, because it would bruise their ego to think they have been wrong for their whole life. It's
kind of the opposite for me. I'm not saying that my ego is non-existent, but it is definitely overpowered by the feeling I get when I find a new way
of thinking. The rush I get overpowers my ego.
I love the feeling I get when I realize that humanity knows very little, in the grand scheme of things. I don't think it hurts my ego... because when
I realize that I've been lied to, I realize that all humanity has been lied to.
Really I believe the key to learning more in this world is the belief that we know nothing, instead of believing that we are "right" all the time.
That is the only way we will be able to progress as a society.
Really I feel the only way that the rush from paradigm shifting can overpower our egos is if we break free from the social programming and
indoctrination shoved down our throats by television, movies, and music. Once we break free, we are able to think freely, without the need to feel
that we "fit in"... Which is in itself assuming that the common human and science is correct in its ways of thinking.
So, I was just wondering. Is there other people that feel this way??
I am sure there are... Basically any "conspiracy theorist" has had some major paradigm shifts in their life time. None of us were raised to
question things like we do.
