Do you ever think about how the things we see are not really things. In this consumerist society we are so used to seeing duplicate images of matter. It’s not just the manufacturers of these products that make the products, we manufacture these products in our brains. We produce the illusion of manufactured duplicates. In reality what are these products the manufacturers make but a series of weird stuff. Look up what goes into making these products. Weird combinations of plastics with undefinable names, artificial coloring, a combination of products all assembled by different manufacturers. But what about what we manufacture in our own minds.
Everything you do or listen to or look at involves being sensed with different parts of the brain. Every memory you have involves a different portion of the brain to remember it. The sounds, the emotions, the color, the shape. It gives the illusion that things in front of us exist in a concrete form. The understanding of the world is nothing more than an acceptance that you sense the world, and the things you see in the world are what you think they are. The coherent and mathematical delusion of the world can be adopted by anyone, even Nazis and Religious people. Anyone can produce a random assemblage of thoughts and organize them in a way that mimics another product. Even these thoughts are products. They’re manufactured and duplicated.
Importance in this world is often measured by appeal and monetary value. Ask people what their favorite band is, if you say it sucks then they will probably defend it by saying “it has sold more records than whatever your favorite band is”. Importance and intelligence is measured by how we please others. It’s like saying that a telephone pole is greater than a fallen tree in the forest, surrounded by moss and bugs and life. It’s as though if you follow some sort of pattern that correlates with the logic of the human senses then you’re onto something. That’s not the case though. It’s still just manufactured in your brain. If you lose consciousness all of it is disassembled. It’s completely arbitrary.
Everything you think is right and wrong, all your words and things, it’s a product manufactured in your brain. Even those are not the same and you are playing with microscopic building material, measurements of weight and time on scales so small you cannot comprehend, because if you do you will be standing still forever trying to come up with something smaller. There’s minute differences in all of the things in the world.
