Ever had that feeling that you know that the grades don't really matter at all? That Life is much more complex and larger than we can ever hope to understand , with all our education combined?
Yet you're forced to join the system. To get the grades. To compete with strangers and friends..
It's like you are aware of the system and that it means nothing and leads nowhere, but you are powerless. You have to follow it.
Like a rat trapped in it's wheel.
Like we're all standing on a conveyor belt leading to a big, bright burning fire and , no matter what you do, the belt will take you there.
A dear friend of mine agrees partly, but also thinks that life isn't meant to be understood, just accepted and meant to be lived. Your consciousness of your existence and life is what life is all about.
The more you understand about the universe in general (whether the grades help with that or not)helps do that, but it's your choice. As long as you understand how lucky you are to be alive and the fact that you are a smart enough being to make a call on existence , is pretty amazing!
Understanding the singularity is probably the most you can do with life, or making advancements to help do so.
In the end, he said, we're all just part of an evolutionary stage of experimental learning.
Wait..If this is all just an experiment, then they'll never take our data into consideration. Not mine , nor my friend's and now not yours either. In experiments, the subjects who are somewhat aware of the nature and underlying purpose of the experiment are called the Outliers. They are the ones who won't behave in accordance to the experimentors predictions , or play right into their predictions to such an extent that the experimentor realises that they know the purpose. Either way, their data is void.
By contemplating the purpose of our existence, we have made it so our data will never be considered. Our data will be ignored.
We are the Outliers of the Universe's experiment.
Or maybe , we are the ones they are looking for. People who can think beyond the experiment. In which case, we are the most important.

We are either the Outcasts or the Rulers.
And what about religion? My aforementioned friend's opinion is "I get religion. I just don't get why there are so many. One religion would help, but a number of them cause more problems than they supposedly abolish".
But I think it is against human nature to be happy with just one. Of anything. There will always be rebels to a system. And then rebels of the rebel system. Each breaking off from their sets to create new sub-sets, which generate sub-sets of their own.
A singular religion seems farfetched and no conflict of interests even more so.
Maybe evolution will sort all of this out.
People would argue that the process of evolution sorting everything out will take too long. Yes. Yes it will.
It is possible that we won't be alive to witness the final results of the Universe's experiment.
The Complete Harmony.
The Final Species.
The Best Creation.
The Final Fittest that Survival led to.
And the Utopian Society that they will create and sustain.
What People need to understand is that Perfection takes time. That generations would have to be sacrificed for the Fittest to emerge. But it will be our sacrifices that lead to the emergence of the Titans. Our sacrifices that drive the Universe forward.
