What keeps you sane?

What keeps you sane in this world of insanity?

[Bomb Shot]

Entertainment, violence and sexuality.

[White Knight]

Sanity is a myth.

We're all crazy. It comes down to which flavour of crazy you happen to be.

[L1qu1dator]

Nothing much, but then again: "In a mad world only the madman is truly sane." And you've got to admit this world should be locked up in a room with rubbery walls...

It is not sane to wish to be sane in a world of insanity. So don't try to be sane, it's bad for your health lol

Best to be unsane though, not insane.

[Abaddon the Despoiler]

Antipsychotics, antidepressants, sleeping tablets, and other things I can't mention.

[ktulu84]

heavy metal, cats, hard rock, classical music, espresso and femboys

It probably already is... in a sense.

I think my key is to reject influence from the popular bs narratives going around, almost totally ignore all common media sources prone to financial influence or coercion, and continue to analyze things objectively.

[Zilkenian Davenport]

Well.... not much. After therapy nothing seems to put me back into the insanity.

Oh wait, yeah, coffee does. I'm banned from coffee.

I have chosen to live in a bubble. However, this is not to say I choose ignorance. I am always interested in gaining new knowledge and learning. I keep abreast of the news and I know what is occurring nationally and abroad, but I neither discuss nor dwell on it. I am focused on my own life and experience. We could sit here for days talking about all the ills of the world, but I know I am virtually powerless to change them.

I am only focused on me- A young individual, attempting to figure out my life, advance my career, find ways to organize/improve my life, and understand how to manage my funds. Consequently, life is much happier. I do not carry the weight of the world on my back. On the weekends I study accounting, do my books for the week, look up ways to make money, and either game of go hiking. That is what matters to me. The world isn’t insane when you make it small.

Oh! You just figured out how life works! Glad you got it at a younger age, took me a while to get it.

The presence of the core self and its access to a solipsistic and timeless basis, workong together with the higher self, to watch over the inner world. These structures are essentially "autistic", schizoid, indifferent and only working with internal objects, they don't bridge to the external world directly. They are as robot children, they do exactly as they're told, to the letter, forever. You can only collapse something like that by breaking the assumptions it's made about the terrain underneath, which has been tried and partially succeeded for a time. It lacks a conception of "risk:benefit" and instead is strictly risk:risk, it's resistant to forced choice, but it's also flexible enough to scale to extreme uncertainty within a very large possibility space by branching off into several different models of reality and live in all of them simultaneously without losing track, due to the presence of the core. The rest is done by a first "should" mindset, rather than an "I want" mindset.

It's an ancient design and it works. On what basis would I go crazy? I have nothing to lose, and yeah there's a lot of anguish and torment and things are obnoxious, but that's just how it goes. My "self", my "I", my "identity", my needs, are not part of the world. They are always there, but you could search the entire planet and never find them. They are represented by the number 0, denoting no separation and infinite separation. I don't believe in the mind or the senses either (the solipsistic side functions of the core), so the idea that something isn't what it appears or what I thought it was... you know, I guess I just never "buy in". So it can collapse and I'll do something else. The biggest threat is reincarnation, but death itself would kind of be a relief. Don't rush to it necessarily but is it really such a big deal. If it is to you, then your goal should be to die while you're still alive, if you know what I mean.

I used to be quite stoic. The range and I suppose lability I have now would have been unthinkable, not done. I could imagine living forever, and just remaining the same. Watching the others go through their life stages, helping them where you can, and seeing Earth change and the fate of man. Unfortunately for one reason or another I learned that change and aging isn't actually optional, in body or mind. I thought the mind was like a computer, or an infinitely elastic mutable and malleable puppet, a vessel, a vehicle, I could force and mold however I wished. It is not so. The course of our lives is apparently run on a hardwired biological clock. It's scripted. Most people are just "dissolved" and flowing in their lives and the world enough so that when they experience the changes they just confabulate and update the internal narrative about how they got from who they were to who they are now. It's actually just a biological program, at the lower layers. It can be overridden by will, but fact is, it is there. This has some important implications.
