"Werde, der du bist" - Nietzsche
How can we become what we are, if we always are what we are?
Max Stirner said it: “He who must expend his life to prolong life cannot enjoy it, and he who is still seeking for his life does not have it and can as little enjoy it.”
If one bit of rationality is one thought it would surely be more rational to maximize the number of "rationality"-bits.
1 bit (with a variance in bytes) of rationality = one random thought
for example: "Where did I put my keys?"
Assuming this, then thinking two thoughts simultaneously would be a way of maximizing rationality in terms of goal-oriented thinking (truth-seeking and other subjective goals)
The problem is, that the mind only has the capabilities to think or process one thought (1 bit) simultaneously to a moment in time x.
t = 0
The velocity of thoughts per second can vary among individuals due to all kinds of circumstances. Fortunately, a high velocity of thoughts/s does not affect intelligence. Or does it?
"The universe is complex, but it's usefully complex."
But in nature`s evolutionary process there are constant compromises. Chaos does not follow one best way.
"In the end they all moved in fantasies and not in the daily tide of their seemingly useless lives. Souls forever lost in the terrifying freedom of their existence."
terrified, mortified, stupified, by one`s own self-pitty. Freedom of existence does not save us from choice.
The world of those who are happy is different from the world of those who are not.
