Because desire is the root of suffering.

And it wants us to return us to a pre-Eve state where we don't desire anything.

Is that so?

Well, I guess I already answered.

I would love to talk to a Buddhist about this.

Yeah.

Like the idea of Nirvana being where you just stop reincarnating.

It seems like if everyone were to reach Nirvana, we would literally extinct the human species.

Well, in that case, I will not ask any of us because we are not real Buddhists.

I have a tangent to jump to if we're looking for something.

I wanted to hit a few bullet points.

I realized just now we've been going for almost two hours, which is like, holy crap, that went fast.

One of the things you wrote here is that we built a map.

We built a map of our mind and the map became the territory.

We exist inside the story that the brain tells itself.

I love this framing.

Does that make it feel like reality is partially illusory?

Is it okay if I title this episode Andrew Cutler Solves the Hard Problem of Consciousness?

No, that is not okay.

Damn it!
