If you try to be something or someone you are not, you belittle your true self and end up not developing in those areas, that you would have excelled at quite naturally.

There’s an operative gap in intellectual motivation between people who care primarily about ‘being right’ versus those individuals who care about 'what is true’. Namely, that the intrusion of individual ego undermines an objective pursuit of knowledge and thus prevents rational observation, reasoned conclusions, and - worst of all - civil discourse. A person who legitimately cares about what is true will be vigilant against subjective bias, both their own and what may be extant in their studies and observations. Any convictions they hold will be both malleable and ironclad: without injecting ego into their pursuits, they will grasp only what seems the most true and readily discard what is shown to be false, suffering no spiritual or moral injury to themselves or their psyche. A person who merely cares about being right will seek out only such information as validates their presupposed beliefs, rejecting offhand what challenges them, no matter how legitimate a challenge might be. Having injected ego into a pursuit of knowledge, their convictions will be brittle and unchanging: since their self-image and sense of satisfaction are intrinsically bound to holding “the right” beliefs, they will be reluctant to change them or even become outraged at being questioned.

I haven’t allowed myself to buy into any fashion trends since 2014, and I’ve managed to detach myself from my material possessions by constantly giving them away. It’s about to be 2018 and I think I can finally, with complete honesty, say that though this “culture” has been a huge part of my life I can finally participate in it while not being consumed by it.

The modern masses do not believe in anything visible, in the reality of their own experience… What convinces masses are not facts, and not even invented facts, but only the consistency of the system of which they are presumably part.
