If that's the answer to my question in which we're debating I understand it as we should not focus on learning from history to the possibility of achieving immortality, maybe not us but future generations. Instead we merely stare death in the eye and go extinct. I want pleasure whilst I am here and would not turn down a revival in a million years if the euphoria or some evolved cognitive function is too good to turn down.

You're right if it was purely directed to my question in regards to what the end goal is IMO.

I am not sure what you put in enlightenment but questioning and understanding the human mind is certainly a way towards:

Having or showing a rational, modern, and well-informed outlook. Google dictionary on enlightened.

How is questioning the ego, vulnerability and self-importance a distraction towards enlightenment?

Also... I learned a word today... randomly on the interwebs....

Meliorism - the belief that the world gets better, the belief that humans can improve the world.

Going to try and use it. Makes me feel good knowing this word. Really good.






Wow. This is amazing. I cant believe I found this.

My favorite word for years has been Meliorism. I didnt realize I learned the word on the twilight period following a mushroom trip.

I tell everyone about this word.
