The greatest pleasure

Question from the Internet:

“What are the greatest pleasures of human existence?”

The greatest pleasure of Human existence is getting to know ourselves, getting to know and fulfilling our unique Human purpose in existence. We need to rise above our inherently blind, instinctive, 100% egocentric and subjective “humanoid” existence, where we only think about a simple, consumerist day-to-day life, stumbling from pain to transient pleasures between involuntary birth and mostly involuntary death.

Our latest pride is handing over almost every facet of our existence to robots and AI so we would not need to do anything at all. This will literally kill us, since no living creature can exist without a goal or purpose. The greatest problem with unemployment is not the economic hardship, but becoming useless ballast in human society.

And still, we all want to become such useless ballast, going on vacation or “having a good time” ceaselessly until we finally die.

Do we look like having fun, even if we have much more than what we need in Western societies for example? Do we look like confident and satisfied people looking forward to the future?

Without knowing and fulfilling our Human purpose – that is predetermined by nature’s evolution, without understandind that this purpose is collective and requires humanity to become a single, mutually integrated entity, we will commit collective suicide through many possible pathways in this or in the next generation.

This would be a shame, as recognizing and fulfilling our Human purpose could lead us to true and tangible pleasures we can’t even imagine right now…
