Set 1- In the first set especially the 2nd video I really picked up and connected with the
idea of choice, understanding of limitations, and how our views can be easily shifted with
choices. Now when we go down to fundamental things everything is actually very simple, and
this simplicity is broken down into two major areas. The physical and cognitive aspects of
ourselves, with these two major groups of our daily lives we these limitations that we often seem
to forget. Now limitations are not something that we can necessarily allow ourselves to forget
about. Once you forget life’s limitations then you fall into this hole, the hole of the uncertainty.
Meaning that you chase these things that we can not do, however we may one day be able to do
these objectives, however you can not expect to run before walking or swim before float. When
we look towards our physical limitations, our limitations are quite simple. There are things that
we can do and those that seem impossible. We are able to work around our physical side; this is
much simpler to work with. We can build to work around other issues. Our physical aspects can
be very powerful when it comes to movement and expansion. However, our cognitive aspect is
much harder to work with even though it should not be. People expect that they completely
understand how to become part of the stock market, or that they know what strategy to take when
it comes to higher complexity barriers, but they are able to do this without study, believing that
they just know how to do it and it is natural, however, that is not real. This is why I believe the
world has fallen. I believe this rapid decline is due to the irrationality and complete ignorance in
the cognitive aspects of so many people. I believe that the greed, want for power, and drive to
know everything without putting in the work is why we crash. Instead, if we took the time to
learn, try, and embrace different ideas without the mindset of only reaching a certain objective
with the quickest and most dangerous path possible then we as a whole would be much more
successful. Now the funniest part is when we don’t allow ourselves to be in control with our
choices. You may think “how could this even be possible” or “if its my choice then I have
control” but it is not. We are given choices with an illusion. These illusions are often so difficult
to see, but when you are able to sit and think for a while you can realize that the choices are very
simple. However, our choices are always tempered with. Those that make our decisions find a
way that will influence you that one thing is better or that another is the right thing when in
retrospect it really might not be. What is the real difference between one glass or the other, what
is the real difference between on pair of headphones or another when they have the same parts
and advantages? If there really is no difference then why do we always fall into the same mistake
