I appreciate this one. I think the comments on nilism at the end are interestingly framed.
The idea that we only have knowledge of this life and that one day regardless of our truths we will cease to exist is a powerful idea that I took a long time to come to peace with. I don't have a god or an omnipresent individual in my mind. I believe that the Cartesian principle casts too much doubt on the greater question of what is here.
I choose to aim myself to better this place that I am experiencing because when I do it provides me greater emotions of pride, satisfaction, and love. It is my choice or it is a full illusion that I decide on how I proceed, but forward is always the direction. I act as if it is real because there are drastic consequences if I don't. Just like when you lucid dream you don't stop what you are experiencing and give in to the idea that it is false you lean in and try to make it the best you can. If we all die tomorrow I know that being on nostr and maintaining the security of the blockchain is a net positive in this life.
I hope you find the peace I sought, and intimately knew it was only within ourselves as we are thinking things, and currently, we seem to have these physical things that greatly allow for us to build and interact, hopefully with other thinking things.
