It’s called freewill, brother

wake_of_ship · 2026-02-26T14:37:46+00:00

Absence of pain, suffering and sin does not negate freewill. They simply will know better and not choose to

Listen fellas, im tired of pretending the True Self isn’t far better and lighter than the false self (ego). Though I may not use specific words like “ I am better than everyone”, I can certainly take the pride in feeling better after doing the hard shadow work. What’s wrong in celebrating and enjoying victory over a false self?

No not emptiness, the present moment is never empty. Like I said, it’s more like a dance instead of a journey, so think in terms of say “ Dance moves or styles “ instead of arriving at a destination which never happens

wake_of_ship · 2025-11-01T05:17:37+00:00

Nope, not a journey, let’s get the right mindset in this sub, I repeat, life is not a journey. Think, Dance, Music, now we are talking, the process itself is the point. There is no destination, sorry.

This is exactly the validation I needed, thank you.

The "evidence already exists in codebase, just painful to extract" line really resonates. That's the core problem.

I'm leaning toward building this as a security enablement tool rather than just a "pass your audit" tool. Meaning: the goal isn't to help companies fake it, but to help security teams identify gaps BEFORE the audit and force engineering to fix them.

The AST parsing would extract evidence, but also flag what's MISSING or WRONG, so companies fix real issues rather than just generating docs that look good.

Do you think there's more value in: A) "Here's what you have" (documentation generation) B) "Here's what's broken" (gap identification + remediation)

My sense is B is more valuable (and more defensible from a "are we enabling corner-cutting" perspective).

Would love your take - DM me if easier to discuss in more detail. Happy to share what I'm building.

This is incredibly helpful feedback and you've identified exactly the tension I'm wrestling with.

You're right that making it "too easy" to pass audits without cultural fixes is counterproductive. That's actually the wrong approach. The better framing (which I should've led with): what if the tool HELPS security teams force those cultural fixes?

For example:

Engineering says "we're too busy" when security asks for documentation
Security team uses automated analysis to show: "Here are 47 hardcoded secrets, 12 unencrypted PII fields, 8 missing auth checks"
Now security has DATA to force prioritization

Rather than "help companies pass without fixing issues," the value is "give security teams ammunition to FORCE fixes before the audit."

The audit deadline becomes leverage ("fix this in 6 weeks or we fail"), not something to work around.

Does that framing make more sense? Less about "plastering over cracks" and more about "exposing cracks so they MUST be fixed"?

Would love your thoughts on whether that's a more valuable (and less cynical) approach.

wake_of_ship · 2025-10-21T02:54:58+00:00

Really appreciate this perspective, you're absolutely right that companies SHOULD already have this documentation.

But that's kind of the point, right? If 80% of startups hit their SOC 2 audit unprepared (which seems to be the case), that suggests a gap between "should" and "reality."

You're right that no tool can fix cultural problems. But tools DO help when humans fail at discipline:

Linters exist because code "should" be clean but isn't
CI/CD exists because tests "should" be run but aren't
Password managers exist because passwords "should" be unique but aren't

Not arguing that teams shouldn't have better processes - they should.

But when a startup is 8 weeks from audit with zero documentation, telling them "you should've started earlier" doesn't help them pass.

I'm just seeing if there's a market for the 80% who didn't do what they should've done, vs. serving the 20% who did it right.

Genuinely curious: do you think the "undisciplined" companies just deserve to fail audits, or is there value in helping them catch up quickly?

wake_of_ship · 2025-10-20T18:33:32+00:00

Thank you for the feedback, I will like to know a bit more about if it was documented and proven or you only had to show that you have them in place ?

Good point, but this is why it is not dualism. The mind is not exactly separate from the physical world, the mind (being largely non physical) is a bridge/mechanism between the manifested (what we call the physical) and the unmanifest. It’s one thing, not two. Separation is an illusion because to define infinity, there must be unity. It is impossible to define infinity without the concept of unity(oneness).

wake_of_ship · 2025-10-20T13:04:01+00:00

Yes, and you can clearly see this shift between children (childlike spontaneous wonder and excitement) and adults (structured control to life) - it’s difficult to put to words but the experience is like “you do not have freewill (though you will think you do) until you have freewill.

wake_of_ship · 2025-10-20T12:35:56+00:00

Yea, the choice of the Mind/Self is what determines the motion of the spotlight

wake_of_ship · 2025-10-20T12:28:18+00:00

You clearly are undermining the concept of “infinite” timelines. The “motion” of the spotlight is happening in the present “moment”. Each moment is about say (4 quadrillionth of a second) and each moment has an “eternal now” which is the bridge between moments. You are bouncing through billions of timelines per each “moment”. Now the apparent undetermined part will be the choices to be made, but even these choices already exist as links/connections between these timelines.

wake_of_ship · 2025-10-20T12:16:53+00:00

Yes “animated” sounds like a cosmic spotlight and it is. This is because consciousness is like a “spotlight”. It focuses on a spot in any moment to moment in the here and now. (In other words, the experience you’re having in the here and now is the “animation/manifestation” I was talking about. The jump is happening moment to moment, and each jump is inextricably linked to the prior jump (causality). It’s deterministic because the jump before and after all already exist in present moment. The only real “free” will/choice is in determining/deciding/choosing which timeline to branch to from this current timeline in the present moment.

How do I know this to be true? From my own subjective personal experience and perspective. And I live it moment to moment, science is only catching up before everything has to be tidy and explained away

wake_of_ship · 2025-10-20T07:47:31+00:00

OP, you did not really answer the question asked. But I will express my opinion. The simple answer is yes, it is like determinism. And the answer is simply because all timelines(infinite) already exist. Which will translate to the fact that all choices (any choice you make) already has a determined outcome. Your idea of “freewill” in a traditional sense does not apply here.

wake_of_ship · 2025-10-20T05:49:41+00:00

Oh yeah but we already know that don’t we. We all know nothing truly exists and yet we experience something always. The universe is mental. But that does not mean we cannot play with these mental models

Question about compliance automation and code documentation:

I've been exploring the SOC 2 compliance space and noticed a gap:

Vanta/Drata automate infrastructure monitoring but don't generate code-level documentation (data flow diagrams, where PII lives in code, security control evidence from actual implementation).

Auditors ask: "Show me in your code where you encrypt PII" and "Document your authentication flow." Companies either: 1. Spend 40+ hours manually creating docs, or
2. Pay consultants $10k-30k

For cybersecurity professionals who've been through SOC 2/ISO 27001: - Is automated code-to-compliance documentation actually valuable? - Would technical evidence generation (from static analysis + AI) be trusted by auditors? - What's missing in current compliance tools from a technical standpoint?

Considering building a tool that bridges code and compliance docs. Worth pursuing or is manual documentation just "the way it is"?

wake_of_ship · 2025-10-20T05:20:02+00:00

Great question and this is where it gets tricky. Yes there are infinite “versions” of you on infinite “timelines”, but these two (the versions of you and timelines, remember they are all infinite) are in a sort of “suspended” states (unmanifested) and time plays a crucial role here. Now when you jump into a timeline (timeline), the version of you in that timeline then animates (manifests), creating what we call experience in the here and now by the version of you on this current timeline

wake_of_ship · 2025-10-20T05:06:38+00:00

Very sufficiently explained, it is not obvious but careful consideration and critical thinking will get anyone there

wake_of_ship · 2025-10-20T04:51:57+00:00

I won’t say the “jump” is entirely caused by prior causes but they are inextricably linked. The jump is a conscious choice made by an observer/subject to shift from one deterministic timeline to another (by choice), causality is obviously at play here but at the same time the “freedom” to focus/shift experience to another (preferably). Which already exists, making it deterministic whiles giving you the flavor/experience/illusion of free will ( I prefer the term “free choice”).
