Spent a lot of time fucking around with ideas like my life being predetermined and consciousness being an illusion. I'll stick to conventional wisdom about my own ability to affect change in my life.
Yeah, thst was something I gave a shit about until I was like 23 or so once I did enough reading to figure out that I don't care. I don't care whether there's a god or not, whether we're in a simulation, whether or not we have free will or any other philosophy 101/stoned teen profound stuff. It occurred to me that none of this crap has any bearing on what happens to me anyway and some questions are so big that they're pointless. Until Morpheus shows up and offers me pills, the matrix is what I got, whether I'm aware of it or not, if I can't get out I'll try to make it the best damn matrix it can be.
