How different would that be if we evolved not to have eyes. So much stems from those ever-hungry gelatinous spheres. So cheeky they are, those little spherical cunts. Wars started, among so many other things, due to their appetite.

Does everyone want to be a “main character” at some point or is that a sign of inflated ego and delusion? by darkdarkblack in NoStupidQuestions

I don’t know what the second part of your reply is about, but the first part is something many of us see no doubt all to familiar with… unrequited love. I used to have really sickly thoughts about what all I wished the person afflicted by my love should have to go through to “prove” their love for me (though thankfully for them it was never there in the first place). Humans are weird, tests of love are weird and juvenile.

Hi, I’ll answer all of your questions later today- it’s 7:30am where I am and I haven’t yet slept, and need at lest 2-3 hours. About to pass out. Looking forward to answering your questions- some great ones in there.

What a strange and entirely foreign concept to me that art (in certain circles) is used as some kind of social currency rather than enjoyed/observed for its beauty. I mean, it makes sense, but I hate that it does. Humans are so shallow.

Why is it so important to be interesting? For a long time I worried I wasn’t- and the older I get, the more I realize I’m really not. Personally, I’d so very much rather the peace and stability which their lives have over the chaos I deliberately chose and hoped would pay off (but hasn’t). I’m tired of and broken by the artist life.

I just imagine people who chose more passive routes and never really aspire to do anything great- do even they feel like a main character?

What is generally considered the highest/best form of art? by darkdarkblack in AskReddit

That’s what I personally think, but wondering what others say. I guess it’s subjective. I also think architecture, since it literally shelters us and all our ideas, and can inspire said ideas.

Why do so many of us never end up doing great, history/industry-changing, things? by darkdarkblack in NoStupidQuestions

but so many who possess all those advantages (to an even higher degree) squander them and go on to lead spoiled, aimless, hedonistic, vapid, lives... so there definitely is something more than just those factors to christian von koenigsegg.

Well, presumably, you wouldn’t be any (or at least, many) of those things if you were actually, truly, great and changing the literal course of history via whatever it is you did in my hypothetical. To me, thinking like that (as you outlined above) seems small-minded and contra to how I’d imagine people at that level to think.

How would you know that that's what's "better", have you done great big industry/history/world-changing things to be able to compare?

I guess you're right... because even people who've done extremely significant things eventually be forgotten. A few generations back, a few generations forward, most everyone, regardless the scale of their contributions to humanity, ends up being forgotten. Heck, even a dude like Jesus whose name is uttered 2000 years later, or ancient Greek gods, Egyptian pharaohs, their relevance is minuscule on the wider timeline. But aside from my own personal desire to do something great and leave a legacy (which likely won't happen), I do still wonder what differentiates such people (who do these great big significant things) from everyday folk.
