Why You Do Everything You Do

Your Fundamental Assumption About Humans

We typically believe there is a single objective world that we may perceive differently but ultimately is common to us all. We also believe we're all the same and have the same goals and values.

We All Live In Our Own World [Repost] (#146)

You only experience a finite part of objective reality, of all positive input you could receive, of all possible human experiences, AND your unique psychology is so powerful that it puts a particular slant or filter on everything you experience. This in short is why we all live in our own world. This is a foundational episode of mine, originally published in July 2024. Next listen: What is Psychology?

Mundane Acts Are a Microcosm

The impressions we have of the events in our life reflect our mind. Things are not inherently one way or another - we make them so. Even down to tiny everyday acts like taking the rubbish out.

The "World" is a Function of Your Psychology

Everything you experience is filtered through your psychology, and then you believe that it is as your psychology presents it. Everything you know and perceive is a reflection of your mind. In other words, life a function of your psychology. This is a snippet from my Wednesday 20/5 episode, Your Psychology = Your Life (#145) originally published in 2024.

We Are Fundamentally Confused About Our Identity

One of the core human confusions is that of identity: we believe we are something we are not, we believe we are separate from the world around us, and we believe that we live in the head somewhere.
