    The entanglement process of Karma is what determines what is procedurally generated in your monadic existence, but we choose these lives of ours with the specific trials we personally face as part of a larger process where we have built Heaven - a society that grows ever more perfect eternally - but found we were maladapted for it in some capacity, so we chose the life we now have to specifically unentangle ourselves from our maladaptations.

      Interesting thought. Alan Watts has one that’s kind of in the same vein.

      Imagine you could control every aspect of your dreams, what happens, how long, everyone and everything. The first thing most of us would imagine is 100 years of absolute pleasure. Fulfilling every fantasy we could think of. And we’d wake up and think, “That was pretty good” and we’d want to do it again. And again. And again. And eventually, you’d get a little bored. So maybe one night you have a dream where you don’t know exactly what will happen. It gets your heart pounding again. That little excitement of “not knowing”. And so, over time, you let less and less things be under your control. A little more, night, after night, after night, until eventually, you are dreaming the life you are currently living. Except you’re actually living it.

        I figured that out 13-14 years ago after I had figured out how to have a life with maximums pleasure and minimum responsibility. Additionally, I figured out lucid dreaming and literally did anything I wanted maybe a third to half of nights. It was hell after a minute. Completely unfulfilling. You gotta have a mission, something bigger than yourself to fight for, and it has to have a significant degree of unpredictability. That makes life fulfilling.

          Honestly, sometimes I wonder if you actually need help and are just suffering and can’t see it, or if it is just someone doing a bit like Ken M. Either way, cheers.

            I do suffer, but I am doing a bit. I play an autobiographical character to help market my educational art project to theoretical past versions of myself who still suffer as I used to. I guarantee what you perceive does not reflect the nature of my suffering, and “suffering” is not the same as “suffering” when I was young. One thing is certain: my life is not in any way “normal,” and I’ll let the annals of my work speak for me there.

        You should get help for that obsession you have. It’s really weird to live rent-free in someone’s head like this for a basic application of grammar for [Effect], and I would appreciate if you do me a solid and let me outta there, bro. You’re fucking my shit up, keeping me inside you like this. I came last week, ffs!
