Man, you are sharp. I have got nothing but respect for you man.

"Don't worry, just be happy... ignorance is bliss, right? Who needs higher ideals to focus on, like truth?"

The Steam is very strong with this one.

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate the appreciation ;)

This pleasure trap as I call it, is the #3 problem, #2 is belief, and #1 is consciousness. All of these topics need to be dealt in light of truth to bring clarity of understanding. But, most people don't care for truth, or to learn about the other 3 topics and how they are being fooled through a lack of understanding themselves: know thyself, consciousness, behavior, "who am I/who are you", the most important question to ask in our lives. This leads to understanding why and how we are as we are.

We don't understand how consciousness functions, biases, fallacies; we don't know the difference between truth and belief, how to think, how to learn, how to discern; and that leads us to focus on believing our bio-natural affinity for feeling-good and pleasure gratification is the compass we should use to lead us in life... truth and morality? Bah... whatever, that's all subjective anyways... LMAO
