How to Program Reality

Let me show you my path towards Figuring out the user interface It's important that you know how I Got there so that you Can have some trust that there's Something to it When I was a kid, I was influenced As was my mother, by the book "The Power of Positive Thinking" By Norman Vincent Peale It suggested that you could somehow Change your life or maybe You were changing reality if you Could simply think positively Think positively (Think positively) Think positively (Think positively) Think positively (Think positively) So this was my first introduction to The concept that maybe reality was Not fixed and something that you were A victim of, but rather You could do something There was some mechanism, some technique Some tools you could use to get Some control over your environment And your life as opposed to Having it control you and that was my first Thought that reality could Be programmable in at least some simple sense But of course, i embarked on a lifetime of Exploration to find out if I could find out more about How to program reality Think positively think positively Think positively how to program reality Think positively think positively Think positively That led me to learn meditation I became a trained hypnotist Of course, mushrooms Let you see the world in A completely different reality And all these things, from studying all The different religions to Doing affirmations Which is really just visualizing what you Want and writing it out everyday (Visualizing what you want Writing it down everyday) And then learning persuasion These all have the same cumulative effect Of teaching me that reality Was indeed far more subjective than You're led to believe When I say reality is subjective I don't mean that there isn't Some base reality that's real What I mean is that we Don't have access to it In other words, just take religion Two people with completely Different religions can go into a Store and they can shop They can get married, have children They don't really need to reconcile the fact That they live in different worlds One thinks there's an afterlife One thinks there's reincarnation One thinks there's nothing and yet we All survive and thrive and reproduce There's nothing to suggest that Our brains are the Kind of brains that can understand reality Instead, all of the evidence suggests that we Can put filters, optionally And somewhat subjectively On our reality and the thing that We deal with is a filter We're not dealing with The underlying reality Our filter on it is the Thing that's real to us And you can change those filters So that's the important part And you can change them fairly easily And if you find a filter That predicts better and makes you happier Well, that's the better filter Even if it isn't a Better approximation of reality What matters is you're happy What matters is you're getting what You need outta life Think positively think positively Think positively how to program reality Think positively think positively Think positively Program reality you can change those filters Change those filters change those filters How to program reality think positively Think positively think positively So, once you accept that There's a subjective reality You're starting to get ready to accept The user interface for that reality --- How To Program Reality - Scott Adams and Akira the Don
