Damn good. Reminds me of the pendulums that collect Consensus described in Reality Transurfing.

Nice thought. But the collapse of wave function is always a dependent and contingent one. No individual can create „reality“ on its own. There is always something you hit and that limits your abilities. As your pure existence limits by definition others abilities.

The whole „someone stole something from me“ narrative is the false one. Nothing is stolen. There isn‘t even a real puppet master. Because behind the puppet master would need to be another puppet master.

The rest is a good mixture between Buddhism and quantum physics. 😁

Ah ok. Well, with this addition, I am quite 90% in agreement with you. The observations I share. And I am hardly a materialist. That is why I pointed to the combination of quantum physics and Buddhism. Which are interestingly compatible if you really dive into both. Not the face value visual Pure Land Buddhism or the likes. But in terms of seeing the world as it is and what drives it.

I am just defying (you could call it my personal „ism“) claims that something is really steering. We (or at least some people) need this Fata Morgana to feel better and explain what they fear. People glorify entrepreneurs. On the one hand for a reason. They defy sometimes the made up narratives and the world and build new things. On the other hand for the wrong reasons. Because if the world isn‘t ready for it, they fail. 90+% of all start-ups fail. The whole VC industry is burning money (on aggregated level) - and for sure not their own money. But still, we want to believe in heros.

Sorry, diversion. Meant to show how deep this is routed even if we try to dismantle the narrative. So it emphasizes your point. And simultaneously (my take) it shows that even this might just be constructed in the same way.

But more important: More agreement than disagreement. And disagreement to continue reflecting. Not as win-los, judgement, identity fight.
