exploration of inner self by questioning beliefs and assumptions

Don’t Ask AI How To Live


According to statistics, there are approximately 1.3 billion bulls on this lovely planet. And you see, the bulls eat grass, and that grass gets digested in their stomachs. And then all that is pushed out the other end... and this is called “bullshit”. But I don't talk about that...
Living life to the fullest bullshit

I smoke a lot, a pack or two a day. Almost everyone I know asked me about it. Oh, you do yoga but you are smoking? Fuck it, so what? I also drink. Well, I'm not a lonely drinker but whenever I go out I have 3 or 4 beers. And some shots of tequila. 

Is this living life to the fullest? Not so sure but I am fully aware of my shortcomings. 

Awakening begins when you realize you’re going nowhere. You simply start to wake up from the dream that you know where you’ll end up. We feel isolated because around us other people are living life to the fullest. 😌

What the fuck does that even mean?

When I searched for an answer online, AI jumped in and gave me this overview:
Living life to the fullest means actively engaging with and making the most of each day, pursuing passions, embracing new experiences, and prioritizing well-being. It’s about finding joy in the present moment, building meaningful relationships, and setting goals that align with your values. Essentially, it’s about living with intention and purpose, minimizing regrets, and appreciating the richness of life’s experiences.
Why is AI giving advice about life when it’s itself a dead, non-conscious thing without desires, hopes, shame, regrets, or anything that makes us alive?

I can guess: it was fed terabytes of data, so it can process vast amounts of human knowledge, patterns, and "wisdom" from books, articles, and conversations.

AI can summarize the writings of many and identify common principles for good decision-making, happiness, sadness, success, or failure. But all of that is sterile and lifeless, it lacks real touch, intuition, and personal context.

AI like ChatGPT, Deep Seek, Grok, etc., are statistical echo chambers, not conscious beings. The "advice" they generate is just a remix of patterns from texts written by people who actually experienced joy, pain, love, and failure. They’re second hand algorithmic stitching, not wisdom.

AI chatbots don’t hold down a job eight hours a day, five days a week. They don’t eat, sleep, or save money for retirement. They don’t lose more than half of their salary to taxes and life’s expenses. They don’t endure horrible bureaucratic paperwork, long lines at banks and airports, or any of the other soul-crushing shit that wears down our human spirit.

By 60, we’ve lost most of our energy chiefly on unnecessary, unpleasant emotions: bad moods, moroseness, nervousness, irritability, imagination, daydreaming, and so on. All these years of uncertainty have left tensions in our muscles to the point of concrete physical pain.

Our perpetual search for how to live life to the fullest drains us until we become lifeless. Our "interests" constantly pull us into things happening around us, keeping us running from ourselves. Like headless chickens, we beg AI for advice on how to live better.

We’re wasting our life on bullshit.
