“The mind is not reducible to the physical-brain. The mind is universal-consciousness. The mind is universal-creativity. And our physical-brain acts only as a filter to that infinite-mind.” Sounds cool. But we are going to be talking about a much less cool way our brain acts as a reducing-valve. Namely: the way that our brain reduces its countless thoughts into a (somewhat) singular order for its body to take a (somewhat) singular action. Why? No. But why? Because life’s core-essence is about taking-action. We can question “why that specific action rather than another” but since humans are to a degree action-things, questioning why they are taking-action is a category error (humans are always taking-action).
Behold the crazy person doing crazy things! “Why?” Wrong question! Instead ask “why that crazy-action versus another crazy-action?” Not-acting is not special, it’s just another action, and when framed as just another action we think of not-acting differently. Everything is a choice, everything is a decision, everything is an action. The “view from nowhere” hides the fact that for humans to get to and utilize that “view from nowhere” requires another choice, requires another decision, and requires another action. Humans are always taking-action.
Summary
- NPC-is-an-action-verb: “Never ask why someone is taking a crazy-action, instead ask why they are not taking some other crazy-action”
- Many-truths-into-single-action: “The brain reduces many possibilities (thoughts) into a singular actuality (an action)”
