Tragedy and comedy of being human

My journey has brought me to this moment, in a place of clarity, acceptance, and a strange peace with two simple facts: 1. ignorance is infinite, and 2. no one can be dragged into spirituality or awakening.

I’ve stopped worrying about other people’s suffering. Let’s be honest, the human suffering comes from ignorance. People have become like robots, programmed by a society that encourages mediocrity, conformity, self-absorption, self-importance and an endless worry over nothing making life a never-ending loop of a bad sitcom.

People cling to some pretty wild ideas. The most recent invention of human ingenuity is AI, the artificial intelligence. 

Let’s talk about this. AI industry is well organized and making a big fuss of things because that's how they get investment, that's how they get attention.

They are in business of sales and there's a lot of self promotion of stuff that sound very cool. They got a lot of attention and then got money for the promises. But I think finally, they have come to realization that they promised something impossible. OpenAI with its famous ChatGPT, Metaverse, IBM, Microsoft and Google are desperate but they are still keeping the appearance of being relevant for building something great. Those companies keep firing and hiring people for teams that are not doing anything.

Of course that AI will replace the large amount of repetitive and mechanical jobs. It is a great tool for automation but everything more than that is just salesman pitch, the marketing lies. After almost 20 years of AI promises time has come for the AI bubble to burst.

None of this is real

There is nothing to do. It’s all just a dream, a wild, chaotic dream starring at us and playing us. It is a comedy, but it’s also a horror show. We’re all out here grinding to survive, battling diseases, wrestling with existential dread, and stressing about bills only to die at the end. What a punchline.

And yet, here we are, clinging to this dream, even as it makes us miserable. Why? Maybe because the alternative is facing the truth which is cold and terrifying. It’s warm in the mess we’ve made, isn’t it? It is cozy in this shit, warm even. So we stay. We stress. We worry. And what do we worry about most? Ourselves.

We are like greedy apes reaching for a seed, trapped by our own refusal to let go. Even when the dream makes us suffer, we hold tight. Why? Because it’s familiar. It’s bad smell but it's comfortable.

This is the tragedy and comedy of being human.

Even God reflects our confusion. People glorify the bleeding, crucified Jesus over his ascension and triumph. Suffering? Sure, we’ll embrace that. Awakening? Too much effort.

And so we continue, shuffling along, singing the same sad songs, watching the same depressing TV shows, and clinging to the shitty smelly dream because, well, it’s what we know. The absurdity of it all is entertaining.
