My philosophy so far
Seek Truth - Imagine you're playing a new game for the first time. What is the first step you need to take to win the game? Simple, you need to first understand the rules of the game. Seeking truth is a simple way to understand the rules of the game of life.
Attack your ideas - You're more or less born into a clan(your family), and then you inherit(their) understanding of the rules of the game(of life).
The caveat here is, even their understanding of the rules, might not necessarily be right or derived epistemically. Or the rules might have evolved, they need not have to be static. So you always need to keep attacking your ideas and question reality to discern truth from farce and understand the rules better.
Because, if you understand the rules, you're not taking shots in the dark anymore. Then you can truly start influencing & bending reality to your own will.
- Dare to dream - Cause why not?
P.S - Equating life with a game might not be the best analogy, but so far, I've been unable to find anything better so I'm gonna run with this. Would love to hear any pushbacks or better ways to frame this :)
