outer space

a lot of people, myself included, worry about the meaning and weight of the existence of outer space aka reality and its unknown borders and whether it is eternity or if it ends or if there's another outer outer space outside of it.

to that, i have begun to look at that issue like this: imagine if one ant had the intelligence of a human and knew that humans were out here having jobs and apartments and walking tacos and streaming services and shit like that. imagine the one single ant and the burden of that knowledge. ants aren't supposed to exist knowing those kinds of things.

it's like the whole robot coming alive and realizing what it is and short circuiting under the pressure type thing. we only know about outer space being more than the sky and some dots and chunks in it because of crazy advanced technology. i think that it's important to embrace the natural instincts we were given at birth and trust that if we needed to know what was out there, we would already know. 

humans have free will and the ability to create and use technology like nothing else we know of on earth but there's not really a good reason to fret over something we weren't even supposed to know in the sense that it's not naturally given to us without countless extra steps. 

like, if a door was locked and you picked the lock to see what was inside and it was a guy jerking off wouldn't you feel stupid? like damn i should've just left that locked since it was locked for a reason? it's the same thing. so from now on what's going on in outer space is none of my damn business.
