Enlightenment is a spook

Why would an individual want to be enlightened?

I'm almost 100% certain that any truths that could be revealed to us are disturbing and that is why we are blind to them in the first place. Perhaps we have blocked them out over the course of our evolution in order to allocate more resources to science and less to being mortified by the shrill nature of the world? Name a single reason an individual would seek a state of enlightenment.

ProTip

You can't.

There are no "higher levels of reality". There's just reality.

Well, according to the laws of physics, Door is technically correct... BUT

Interfacing with higher levels of reality you fucking coward

However an expansion in man's ability to perceive dimensions has nothing to do with philosophical enlightenment. Simply understanding and coming to terms with higher levels of reality will make us no more capable to interface with them than we are now. We would almost certainly feel hopeless and powerless before higher dimensions, and that is reason enough to avoid them; we would gain nothing and waste centuries of research.

Because we told him to seek it and he actually did it the MADMAN

Worshiping Kek will grant you divine and esoteric knowledge that the normies cannot comprehend with their feeble brains.

Is there something wrong with feeling disturbed? I personally enjoy it, and I'm sure many others feel the same.
