Anyone feel like their mind feels extremely meta—thinking behind one's own thinking and a constant sense of sinking emptiness? (piefed.social)

It's like I observe my own thoughts while thinking them. I notice I try to escape this with vices.

I am learning and getting better at embracing the emptiness. It's my opinion and and theory that the acceptance of "emptiness" is a psychological re-alignment with the primordial void of the cosmos. To embrace the void is to tap into the wellspring of creativity.

This is one of the principle features of a personal philosophy I'm developing that I call "Diogenian Hypererionism".

Having your feet planted firmly in the mud of absolute, unvarnished reality (Diogenes), while your eyes are fixed on the highest, most blinding truths of existence (Hyperion).

It suggests a lifestyle or mindset where you strip away all of society’s fake rules, pretenses, and superficial goals (Diogenian) so that you can clearly see and embody a higher, more brilliant individual purpose (Hyperionist). You reject the false "lights" of fame, money, and status to bask in the true "light" of universal truth and self-mastery.
