I Am An Existential Humanist

Once you unlock the universe in your mind and all is said and done, once you know everything.. then what? Your back to real life. Only to not fear death! So then you continue in your life observing with no judgement , or trying to, because humanly we are going to judge/choose weather it's what we are going to have for breakfast or if we are going to smile at someone. Maybe we aren't meant to have such knowledge. It makes the human experience feel foreign. Do you think so?

Haha, the truth is we know nothing. All our ethics and morals are only our humanly perceptions and do not truly exist. We are a collection of emotions and energy, but without the body that energy is free flowing . My point was. If you have any similar view to this. How do you incorporate it into your human existence? How do you put aside your judgements ? How
Do you view human kind/ the world ? What's your perception?

@K1112 Well said. We are all viewing the world through our unique lens of experience bias, thus any absolute reality is unknowable. It's Kant versus Hegel.

Much easier said than done, I would imagine. The universe is vast, without and within. What we understand communally at this point wouldn't fill the shallowest layer of a thimble compared to what there is likely to know.

Socrates felt the beginning of wisdom is to understand you know nothing.
