1. “Doing What You Want, When You Want, How You Want”

While I appreciate Mark Cuban’s entrepreneurial spirit, I don’t currently live entirely by his mantra of “doing what you want, when you want, how you want.” While I enjoy flexibility and autonomy, I also recognize the importance of structure and discipline in achieving my goals.

• Current Reality: My current lifestyle involves a mix of freedom and structure. I have the flexibility to work from home, allowing me to manage my schedule to some extent. However, I also have commitments and responsibilities that require adherence to schedules and deadlines. This balance between freedom and structure is essential for maintaining a healthy and productive lifestyle.

Part Two: Basic Worldview Questions

1. What is prime reality?

   • From my perspective, prime reality is a complex and interconnected system of consciousness, energy, and matter. It is a dynamic and ever-evolving force that transcends human comprehension.

2. What is the nature of the world around us?

   • The world around us is a beautiful and intricate tapestry of interconnected systems. It is a place of both wonder and challenge, offering opportunities for growth, learning, and connection.

3. What is a human being?

   • Human beings are unique and complex beings with the capacity for love, compassion, creativity, and consciousness. We are social creatures with a deep need for connection and belonging.  

4. What happens to a person at death?

   • This is a profound question with no definitive answer. While some believe in an afterlife, others believe that consciousness ceases to exist. I believe that death is a natural part of the human experience, and while the physical body may cease to exist, the impact of an individual’s life can continue to resonate through their loved ones and the world they leave behind.

5. Why is it possible to know anything at all (epistemology)?

   • Knowledge is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. We gain knowledge through a combination of sensory experience, reason, intuition, and interaction with others. While absolute certainty may be elusive, we can strive to develop a deeper understanding of the world through critical thinking, open-mindedness, and a commitment to lifelong learning.  

6. How do we know what is right or wrong?

   • Our understanding of right and wrong is shaped by a variety of factors, including our values, beliefs, experiences, and the impact of our actions on others. Ethical principles, such as empathy, compassion, and justice, can provide a framework for making ethical decisions.  

7. What is the meaning of human history?

   • Human history is a continuous process of learning, growth, and evolution. It is a story of both progress and setbacks, filled with struggles and triumphs. Ultimately, the meaning of human history lies in our ability to learn from the past, create a better future for ourselves and future generations, and leave a positive impact on the world.
