第5814回 ENMaintenance in a MeaninglessEnvironment

from HIKIKOMORI DAYS · host MEANING SYSTEM OFFLINE

Philosophers fight thevoid.  I simply operate with the void as background, withoutbreaking.  After noticing the “lie of meaning” in religion, mostpeople create a personal story as a new support and begin a drama of fightingthe void.  I chose none of that. I avoideddeceiving myself, indulging in nihilism, or following anyone’sideology.  Eighteen years of isolation. The only method I chose toprevent collapse was binding myself with procedures that allow nodeviation.  Even the stance of “I am differentfrom others” may be the final story—another lie—my brain created to preventcollapse. I am indifferent to that as well.  This is not a philosophy forsalvation. It is discipline as a placebo, used only to avoid breakingtoday.  There is no meaning. Even so, the procedures keep the systemrunning.  What remains is not reasoning, but bare reality—tiny shiftsin English sounds, daily dissonances, the contradictory nature of humanbeings.  Once the shelf of meaning isremoved, the texture of the world becomes vivid.  This isneither a story of seeking meaning nor accepting meaninglessness.  It is alow‑temperature observation log of the mechanismsthat allow continuation without collapse.書き起こしサービス LISTEN https://listen.style/p/ponsudati?hABcy07H
