You’re right it is all a distraction, and people cling to entertainment because it’s escapism. It’s the only way to cope with their situation unfortunately

It honestly makes a lot of sense. That suggests that if our combined brain power had been optimally focused and organized, we would have not only solved so many of our current problems we’d have solved problems that our current selves don’t even know exist yet. I think we would all fall to our knees in despair if we were able to see what has been stolen from us.

I remember going to a fish museum as a kid and watching them all fight for the fish food. I think most fish aren't aware we exist, because we're on land. Once in a while one of them will see a human, or see above the surface of the water, but they probably can't really understand. We would have the same thing with aliens in outerspace, and definitely with beings from other dimensions or universes. Also, the known universe looks like it might be part of a much larger structure. I don't know why the standard view seems to be that humans are at the top and know everything. We're just one of the thousands of levels of existence and understanding.

Do as little as possible, let no one or no thing control you.

That is the goal

discovering thw true nature of reality is also fucking worthless, nothing would change if people discovered it, we would have to keep on going the same way

Maybe the ones in charge would force us to, yes. It’s like they don’t even have a trace of empathy. But I think the more people who wake up, it wouldn’t be as bad as it is now. There is a lot of pain to be caused too when the people who are not awakened attack the awakened ones for being so ‘depressed’. We could stop attacking each other as much and try to focus on the solution to this horrible prison planet as much as we can but maybe I am too naive and it wouldn’t do much, I’m not sure 😔Because I see your point too that in the grand scheme, so much pain was caused already and all we can do is try to prevent future pain. Even if it seems impossible, the situation we are in already seems impossible with how crazy it is so I want to try to fight against their whole operation.
