inquiry into Reality, into our true condition, words/ideas are worse than useless. They are potentially our biggest impediment.
This is because we may tend to assume that the objects/actions which words refer to, ACTUALLY EXIST IN THE WAY THE WORDS THAT REFER TO THEM SEEM TO DEFINE THEM. That is, we may tend to view our experience as being actually made up of the objects and actions that the words we are using to describe it imply.
This is a fundamental mistake, due to the fact that ALL experience is in actuality an infinite, constantly changing, non-repeating, indefinable (in any final way), unpatterned field of miraculously appearing Radiantly Present "energies" existing nowhere else than IN experience, perceived by unknowable, miraculously appearing "consciousness". But our use of words implies that objects and actions may actually exist in the way we refer to them, as knowable, definable objectively existing "beings", "things" and "situations".

Speculation is all we have, until we cease to exist. We may never know until then.

Yet people are still squabbling about sexisms, and gmo's and God.
If we are in fact simulations, I'd feel like an idiot if I died and woke up to the fact that I wasted my entire life fighing a system that did not in fact, even exist.

Do you know what, I don't give a # points to?
I appologize, my programmer made me say that.

Then it is not 'you' apologising.
'You' don't exist.
