Hey Guest,
As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

Humans suck at objectivity. Everything we see, we see filtered through our hopes and fears. We don't see things the way they are, we see things the way we are.
The more complex a system is the more room for errors, and then when there is a bug it can be very difficult to find the error.

My reading is:
1) see things the way the things are
2) see things the way the viewer is.
"They" could attach to either the person or the things.
So, for me, I have a phobia of bees. So, say there's a honeybee hive in a tree a good 50 yards from me. It's not causing any harm. If I was seeing things the way they are I'd see a regular part of nature working. Instead, I see things the way I am, and the bees nest appears to be a natural disaster coming to get me at any moment.
To apply it here: how does one see a regular 9-5 job?
Is it: a normal part of life that can be a pain but is an understandable requirement to reap the benefits of society?
Or, is it: a symptom of a dystopian system; forced slavery for the sole benefit of the elite class that drains the poors for their own means?
Or maybe, in between: it is a normal part of life that is an understandable requirement to reap the benefits of living in society, but made far worse than it should be by a combination of those who have more power and a broken "system," disproportionately benefiting the haves over the have-nots while still barely providing the have-nots with enough opportunity to change their circumstances?
Or something else, but you get the picture. Which definition is seeing things the way they are, and which is a result of who the person making the definition is at heart?

Oh, this makes so much sense now. I finally understand what the quote means. Thank you

It's a distraction. The OP doesn't want us to question his alleged involvement in the mysterious August 14th, 1997 disappearance of 125 people from Yellow Springs, Ohio at 11:59 (est). People suspect that he was with Oprah at the time of the disappearance and that he probably played a role in it. He created that meaningless quote and this thread to distract us from it.

What do you mean by most? Like how do you calculate that? What things, suck as colors? Yea, perhaps objectively there's no way to tell the truth.
There are millions of people trying to deny the human evolution. So if you can deny anything despite the mountains of evidence on many different fields proving it happened just because you aren't OK with it, I don't know what to tell you...
There's this effect in psychology where we tend to believe things we like. We start from a conclusion and look to validate it. Deprogramming is possible, but hard, so there's so many people believing whatever they want without trying to change. I don't say this in a "normies are inferior" way, but people choose to be, empirically, fucking dumb.

appellations of meaning to what people are more inclined to see and uphold as cheap antipodes of moral value is what causes those who suffer from an unperceived cruelty to fall into the cracks of society. people are cruel in their apathetic gestures which signal some utterly contemptible fucking proselytizing front

I filter everything through the schema I've built over the entirety of my life here on this planet. In trying to make sense of my experiences, I have made base assumptions which may or may not be close to objective reality. I act based on those assumptions, for good or ill. I'm pretty sure that such is the lot of humanity. I hope to have answers once I leave this world.
