How Old people turn into Conservative people.

If your grandparents had to be young again, would they like it? Maybe they don't just reject new things because they have a hard time adopting to them. Maybe they reject novelty because it is contrary to their core PRINCIPLES. Texting? -why don't you walk over and talk to her? Working out? -just go and chop some firrwood, son! Taking a vacation in Thailand? -get to know the county forest first! Metal is awesome! -where is the melody? and why growl? Social justice activism? - Church! If we are to take this thought one level further, will we find that our grandparents are not PROUD of us? Although The Old understand that the world changes, it must be hard to be proud of a grandson who does things that they don't even understand. As useful and well-paid as software engineers might be, it must be quite a mind-twist for an 80 years old to place his grandson's occupation in his world picture. Will today's youth face an even higher grade of intergen

Which 'ME' are you?

'I should order my room.' Who says that? Is that you?  Your consciousness? Your mom? Your flatmate? The 'boss' inside you? I have a theory. You have two guys living inside you. One is the Master and the other is the SLAVE. I wouldn't order my room unless the Master really convinces me to. I don't like to go shopping. I don't like to wake up early. I don't like to change the light bulb. Or do I? After all it's not me, who does it. It's the guy who controls my body, its the SLAVE who does whatever I ask him. I actually rather prefer to have my room ordered and my light bulb changed. I am sometimes pretty pissed off by the lazy SLAVE who refuses to do whatever I ask him. I mean I get him social status, I feed him, I get him to cool places, I get him dates, for God's sake! My SLAVE should be way more obedient to me. He depends on me not ME on him. My fragile, lazy, addicted, subcortical slave shall serve M

The Big Questions in life

Have you ever found yourself stuck asking the same questions and not getting a clear, definite answer to them? The hard questions in life keep you up at night? I'm here to offer you a method to get out of these infinite loops of self-interrogation. 1. Pick out a few main things you do in life. Say, 3 or 4. 2. For each one ask the question: 'Why am I doing it?' 3. You will write down the answer. 4. You will ask again: Why? applying to your previous answer. You write the answer down. 5. You repeat that again. 6. By the third level, you should start to see the core cause of your daily actions. 7. By evaluating what core cause lead to those 'things you do in life', you will be able to better judge the value of those actions. Sometimes we find ourselves doing things just because we are used to doing them. Because the older version of ourselves had principles leading to those actions. Sometimes we do things to get them out of the way. So that later we can

Hey yall, this is going to be a blog about me. My name is Levi. I never liked the idea of publishing stuff about myself, so it is not going to be ABOUT myself, just random thoughts, philosophical rumblings, stuff I care about for all the internet to read.
