The more you know, more you know—and the more you know. And vice versa: if you fall into disinformation and lies once, then again and again, you end up like a rotten moron.
How to navigate? At least, be honest with yourself, always be ready to accept when you were wrong and correct for the truth. Be ready to suffer and death, it’s okay sometimes. Don’t cling to fortune or false, dead-end values like an obsession with money or pseudo-ideals, such as the cult of power or narcissism. You are just a fruit on a tree, and let it be.
What could help is minimalism (cut out all unnecessary and leave only the important but of best quality) and stoicism (stack of values preserving mind’s clearness and independence in the wilds of randomness we live in as well as balancing connections and neutralizing the bad with fearlessness).
Don’t be afraid of dirt, working for man is like flying for bird. Do something good to people actually. You want good, give good, as simple as that. Focus on truth and quality builds you up not destroys even if it feels kinda different sometimes.
