Why Is Everything So Weird?

Disciple: "Master, what does all this mean?" Master: "A bored beetle in a beer bottle."

What a nice surprise! Didn’t expect a video during your tour. Safe travels!!

Do the female beetles attack the beer bottles, or just talk shit about them?

Good stuff. Thanks for the time out to post this!

Tanti saluti dall'Italia 🇮🇹🙏

Love the beetle beer bottle analogy

Enjoy your Tour(ku) in Europe

The more problematic your freedom is to your culture the harder it is to achieve liberation. Presumably Zen still just works but it has to overcome different contexts, and I argue here, different degrees of restriction, depending on the practitioner. The societies we have created also alter the way we see reality. And they often narrow or distort reality, particularly if someone can make money off of you or use you for status or power. If you are the subject of a confucian government, a European Catholic peasant or a subject of a contemporary capitalist world power then you are definitely having a harder time seeing the truth because of the number of interests vested in you seeing a specific version of reality. The more self-serving intelligent actors are involved in shaping your view, the less reality you can see.

Is everything weird or the do we look at everything weirdly? The world/reality per se has no character of its own, right?

Darn, you leave Germany right when I arrive.

i mean beer bottles are kinda sexy

Again, I'm reminded of Karl Marx. "Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it." goes the 11th thesis on Feuerbach. Only real action, in the real world can represent truth. What you think about it, is always off.

EDIT never mind!

Poor girl seems so nervous.

Rather than having children, many young people these days, especially women, believe a career alone, can be more rewarding. This is a weird comparison to the bottle story, never the less, it sprang to mind.

you are in a country that shares a very long border with a country that nato (finland will be a nato member in a month) is in a very real proxy war with, its gotta have a weird vibe, its actually a very big change for finland, basically the country is about to become a protagonist in a war compared to its previous policy of appeasement
