One that’s stuck with me is this view from Alan Watts
Watts put forward a worldview, drawing on Hinduism, Chinese philosophy, pantheism or panentheism, and modern science, in which he maintains that the whole universe consists of a cosmic Self-playing hide-and-seek (Lila); hiding from itself (Maya) by becoming all the living and non-living things in the universe and forgetting what it really is – the upshot being that we are all IT in disguise. In this worldview, Watts asserts that our conception of ourselves as an "ego in a bag of skin", or "skin-encapsulated ego" is a myth; the entities we call the separate "things" are merely aspects or features of the whole.
Not like one school of thought, but yeah kinda but it stays evolving tho
I will say that your personal life philosophy does have a lot to do with your philosophy on society more broadly whether you consciously try to reconcile the two or not. As a wise Russian guy once said one cannot live in society and be free from society
nah i love a lot of what you said itt and im prolly a stones throw away in my own beliefs, I was just tryna keep this thread outta the capitalism v socialism waters ahaha...

Fair enough
Find distinction in collectivity
Find results in labor
Find purpose in struggle
Find forgiveness in conflict
