feelings of difference or sameness are manufacturable. all combinations of things have an infinite number of similarities and differences. we arbitrarily instincitively choose which things are important

art challenge where someone who can't draw tries to draw and other finish it

axioms of life:
naturally, people like making other people happy and people dislike making other people sad. only hurt causes people to hurt others

??? is really important to knowing yourself!

thinking about some new forms of levels
the first level is having a piece of knowledge
the second level is knowing what other people think of that piece of knowledge and guiding your reaction to the knowledge based on that
the third level is knowing that thee are many different and nuanced perspectives on that knowledge, so many that you can't just go with what is popularly believed, and you to figure it out for yourself

consider a giant living among ants. The slightest movement of the giant can destroy the homes of a thousand ants. as such, every ant is aware of even the smallest action of a giant, yet there is no reason for a giant to know anything about even a million ants.

consider how ignorant a giant must be compared to an ant. The ant knows of many worlds besides its own, but the giant, having no predators or anything that can hurt it, has no pressure to be aware of anything.

is it better to be a giant or an ant? both, or either, when it suits you. don't be fooled into thinking that anyone is one or the other. everyone is both at all times.
