    Does the goal of "being somebody" make it more difficult to be happy? 69
    Personally, I do think it makes it more difficult to be happy. There are endless possibilities that you can make out of your future. It Is so hard, especially for me, to decide what it is I want to make of myself. What If I make the wrong decision and I do not like the way I am living day to day? It Is hard to make a lifetime decision and in top of that being a brown immigrant whose parents came here specially for my education it makes it 10x harder because you do not want to upset them and you want to make them proud and that sometimes gets in the way of you trying to find yourself because I feel pressured to do what I think what makes them happy.
    What does "Success" mean to you? How does it relate to discovering your "real me"? 70
    Success is not measured by money, but more of self-satisfaction and happiness. A rich business man can be unhappy while someone who is working a minimum wage job is happier. I feel like you have to find yourself and do what makes you happy. With that comes goes. You must set goes and strive to achieve them no matter how it gets. With success comes hard work.

    1. "With success comes hard work." Isn't it the other way 'round? Or maybe both. I'm sure there are counterexamples both ways, hard workers who failed to achieve their goals and others who had success handed to them. But of course we still have to decide what "success" REALLY means.

      I like Einstein's approach: try not to become a person of success, try to become a person of value.

  2. Section 7.

    I think VR is a great thing. It is insanely cool and it increases the immersion. I don't think it will be widespread for a while, but in the future I think I could see it being all 4. You'll have those people that do VR Nascar games, VR baseball, or VR plays/theater. I think that is a good step. I feel also that over time, as people get more exposed to it, it'll mellow out, just as any other gaming system. Overall, the gap between real life and VR is still significant, and it'll need some serious immersion technology to begin to confuse us.
    Forget "MilSim," heck even normal video games desensitize people. Video games and movies to their credit. We go to theaters and watch a slasher movie and have a good time and not think twice. Same with video games, we get on Call of Duty and be apart of WWII and not think anything of it, but subconsciously we are numbing ourselves to the violence we experience. The numbing is nowhere near what we'd experience in real life, but it is enough to see a violent video, one where the average person would be disgusted, and common video game players think nothing of it. Again, it's that overall level of immersion.
    In some ways, by trying to be "somebody," it does get in the way of a normal stream of happiness. "Comparison is the thief of joy," is a famous quote. However, if you DON'T compare yourself to that "somebody" and simply set a boundary between you and a goal, you won't compare yourself. To me, that part is all about discipline.

    2. is comparison always bad? can it not push you to be a better version of yourself or push you to do more than you thought you could?

      Delete
    3. Social comparison CAN motivate a person to work harder and achieve more, and it can also disable a person by instilling feelings of inadequacy. The key is to compare one version of yourself with another that IS within your range of competence and ability, and strive to become the best version of yourself. Invidious comparisons are those that hobble, noble comparisons bring out our best.

      Delete
    4. Virtual reality CAN be a great thing, so long as it doesn't displace actual reality. When you forget you're immersed in a simulation, the displacement has happened. (I know some astrophysicists have speculated that our universe is some sort of simulation, but if everything's a simulation then there's no sensible distinction between virtual and real. And there is, isn't there? At least at the level of experience as we undergo it.)

      That word "immersion" is key. You don't want to be so immersed that you can't step away from the keyboard, or the console, OR the motion picture or novel or whatever it is that you're immersed in.

  3. Do you agree with Tolkien that reason and fantasy can coexist, but only so long as people can still distinguish the latter from facts?

    I completely agree as to often to people tend to confuse what is real life and fantasy. However, I enjoy fantasy and it lets your mind wander to what could have been or to an idea that is impossible in reality. But when you mix up fantasy with reality you no longer have a good grasp on either and instead walk in a middle plane that is neither here or there. So enjoy fantasy, I encourage it, but always remember to come back to reality.

    2. Tolkien also said escapism is fine, so long as the escape hatch opens both ways and you don't get trapped in fantasyland.

  4. Section 7

    FL 43-44

    1. Does the prevalence of adults without children at Disney (and other) theme parks say something -important or disturbing about our society? 403
    - This is definitely not a question I had thought of before, and as someone who went to Disney for the first time at 22, I don’t think it says anything important about our society. The individuals without kids visiting could be like me, first timers, or they could simply just love Disney. I personally love that when you see adults in the theme park, usually they’re having just as much fun as the children (if not more).

    2. Do too many adults cling to childlike beliefs about religion, and pass them along to their children?408
    - I don’t think nearly as many adults have a childlike beliefs about religion. Those who do definitely pass those beliefs along to their children and hopefully they won’t continue in their parents’ footsteps.

    SSHM ch3-4


    1. Does the goal of "being somebody" make it more difficult to be happy? 69
    - I think the strive to “be somebody” effects many Americans in a negative way. This goal sometimes causes them to not follow their true passions and they end up being unhappy with where they are in life. I know this is something I struggle with personally.

    2. What does "Success" mean to you? How does it relate to discovering your "real me"? 70
    - Success and being successful to me is simply being true to yourself and loving what you do every day. There isn’t a minimum salary required to obtain “success”, it’s a personal goal you set with yourself, and whatever is (as long as it isn’t hurting you or someone around you) is great.

    1. I think it's fine for adults to enjoy Disneyworld (etc.), in the effort to stay "forever young" and in touch with the innocent and childlike part of themselves that is capable of wonder and joy. But there is such a thing as arrested development and an inability or unwillingness to grow up and embrace one's maturity, and I agree with Andersen that we DO see that phenomenon all around us in this culture. It's a problem.

      Nothing wrong with striving, when the goal is to strengthen one's character, expand one's horizons, help others, etc. When we're striving merely to satisfy someone else's conception of "success," though, it's hard to see the point of succeeding.

  5. Section 8

    In the future do you think Virtual Reality will be "ridiculous, sublime, wonderful, or awful"? Or all of the above? Will it make us even more fantasy-prone, and less capable of discerning facts and reality? 395
    --- I think virtual reality will be amazing. I think what is already available is amazing. I don’t think it’ll make us less capable of discerning facts and reality. I’m always aware that I’m in virtual reality when I’m in it, and I feel like the author is insulting people when he suggests that we won’t be able to tell what’s reality.

    Does the prevalence of adults without children at Disney (and other) theme parks say something important or disturbing about our society? 403
    --- No, it’s not telling anything that isn’t obvious, and it doesn’t disturb me.

    Do you "realize how soon [you] will become [a] mere walking bundle of habits"? Do you manage your habits effectively? 76
    --- I try to manage my habits effectively, but my biggest habit is breaking habits. It’s difficult to imagine myself becoming a “walking bundle of habits” because I’ve been trying to stick to a morning and night routine and be consistent with school and my hobbies for years, but they keep changing. My thoughts and beliefs are also changing around.

    1. Again, we'll be fine so long as we can distinguish VR from R, and fantasy from fact. Clearly, some are better at that than others.

  6. What does "Success" mean to you? How does it relate to discovering your "real me"? 70

    Success to me means walking in the purpose that God has given and experiencing freedom. Success to me would look like financial freedom and stability. Success would mean that I'm working as a full-time film composer and artist. Success would also mean having a platform and being able to inspire others through my career in film composition and music. Success would mean being able to provide for my family and freely give to others in need.

    Success does tie closely into discovering my "real me." It is important for me to know who I am, know what my standard of excellence is, know what my goals are etc...If you don't know your "why" then you won't know the reason for doing what you're doing. I know my "why." I know my reasons for pursuing what I am pursuing, and the only way I know this is because I know the man I am meant to be. I know who I am and who I am not. In all honesty, I discovered these things in 2020 when I got a lot of time to myself and time to pray. It was here that I discovered more who I am and more of who God is. So for me the two go hand in hand.

    Do you "realize how soon [you] will become [a] mere walking bundle of habits"? Do you manage your habits effectively? 76

    I don't want to think that I am a mere bundle of habits, but I know to certain a degree this is true. I find myself waking up and checking my email first thing without even thinking about it now. I find myself doing homework and then almost uncontrollably checking Instagram and twitter as my "study break." I hit snooze multiple times in the morning with zero conviction in the moment, so these are habits that I currently don't manage well and I'm trying to change them. I am trying not to hit snooze and to not mindlessly check social media. I am trying to give myself more time, especially in the morning to just be. There are also a handful of other habits I'm trying to be better about, but these are a few.

    2. The word "mere" is probably misplaced, there's nothing pejorative about being a bundle of habits so long as they're GOOD habits and so long as we still retain a capacity for spontaneous and unhabitual acts and experiences. James's point was that we lose that capacity if we don't attend to our habitual behaviors, monitor them, break the bad ones, acquire better ones, etc. Sounds like you're working on that, with the snooze button. Good luck!

  7. Keylee Crutcher Section 8


    Does the goal of "being somebody" make it more difficult to be happy? 69
    --Yes, which is why I try not to have that as my goal. My goal is happiness itself. Even though being somebody may be what makes me happy eventually, my goals to make myself happy are easier and more attainable at the moment.

    What does "Success" mean to you? How does it relate to discovering your "real me"? 70
    --Firstly, success to me is being happy and content with my life and what I’m doing. I don’t need to find a “real me” I just need to do what makes me happy.

    Do you experience your consciousness as a "stream"? 100
    --No, it feels more like a nonstop virtual reality screen stuck to my face.

    "Do you agree with Tolkien that reason and fantasy can coexist, but only so long as people can still distinguish the latter from facts?"

    I absolutely agree with this. I think it is important to fanaticize about things. A lot of times people fanaticize about making better situations when they are in bad ones and often i think it can help people get through rough times. I also think it is good to follow reason. You can fanaticize about being a robbing a bank and being a millionaire to get out of a bad situation but logically, and with reason, you have to know that it is not a great idea and you have to know it is not safe.

    I think virtual reality will be amazing in the future. Virtual reality is already a pretty interesting thing so it advancing more in the future will be exciting. I'm sure some people will try to use virtual reality to escape from their own reality and potentially make it their new reality, but I think the vast majority will still be able to understand what is real and not real.

    Does the goal of "being somebody" make it more difficult to be happy?

    I think having that desire to "be somebody" will make it harder to be happy. To me, it sounds like you'll try to find any way possible to be known and remembered in history. Doesn't seem like you'll find what you actually enjoy in life.

  10. Section 4

    Do too many adults cling to childlike beliefs about religion, and pass them along to their children?

    I do believe this is true. When we are children we pick up the beliefs of our parents because that is how we are taught. But once many of us become older we form our own beliefs, others do not. They stand by the views they were told as a child and refuse to be properly educated. I see this trend in politics too where people take a stand but have no knowledge of it.

    Does the goal of "being somebody" make it more difficult to be happy?

    I think that if you have a constant goal to be somebody then you never truly get to enjoy the person you are. And what if you never truly reach that "somebody" you were trying to be! Then you just wasted your life on an unreachable goal. We are stuck with who we are whether that is a good or bad thing and we can't change ourselves so we just have to make the best of it.

    I think it will be sublime. I don’t think it will make it difficult to tell the difference between fantasy and reality but fantasy will just be more normal. Like today a lot of the time people are on their phones but they still know the difference between that and reality. It is just more of a social norm. I think virtual reality would be cool and could make some occasions more fun. I mage being able to be apart of a movie, actively, instead of only watching.

    Do you agree with Tolkien that reason and fantasy can coexist, but only so long as people can still distinguish the latter from facts? 393-4
    I do agree with this. The best part of Tolkien's fantasy stories are the themes he intertwines into his fantasy worlds. It can't really be defined as pure escapism because he includes themes of struggle against evil and can be very dark at times. The best fantasy stories are timeless because of their themes that are always relatable. Keeping a shred of reality in fantasy allows me to keep connected to the world while still being immersed in a good story.

    I think VR has potential to have all of these elements in the future. As most games are, they have the potential to be a wonderful source of entertainment and escapism. They can also be sort of addictive for some people. I don't think that people will become so immersed in VR that they forget reality, because VR doesn't seem to be realistic enough. If it does become indistinguishable from reality, maybe it will alter society and make a mass movement of shut-ins. I really hope not. I find this idea to be very post-apocalyptic in the sense that VR would be an ultimate escape from real life. As long as life in our reality remains to be enjoyable, I don't think this will happen.

    I think it can be difficult to be happy if you're constantly trying to be something for other people. It is impossible to make everyone happy so the constant pressure to impress people can make you unhappy. I do believe however, that when your goals begin to focus on the things that are most important to you that you also begin to tap in to your best self. In order to remain happy while becoming a public figure or a person of influence is to make sure that you are always "somebody" to yourself regardless of what other believe or think about you.

    Most of the time when you are introduced to religion as a kid, that is the religion you stick with the rest of your life because people are not really open to new religions because they are not open to change, because they feel it almost as cheating on the religion they already have their belief in since they identify themselves with that group.

  15. Does the prevalence of adults without children at Disney (and other) theme parks say something important or disturbing about our society?

    Arguably these cartoons are never truly geared towards children although they are the illusive target audience. The messages and hidden themes in these animations are definitely created and understood by adults. There are a very mass amount of adult humor in these animations to pose the question, “is this really aimed to target children or adults”? Some could even argue this is a form or grooming who knows. One things is for sure, growing up a lot of the content in Disney movies weren’t really understood until I was older and more experienced so that alone says a lot about the influence these movies have n children. In short yes it is disturbing, but for reason being that these adults allow children to watch animations with levels of adult content in it even if they don’t understand because regardless if they do the children are going to mimic their favorite characters.

  16. Is there a danger that "MilSim" players will forget that they're playing, or become desensitized to violence? 399

    Yes, I believe that violent video games are dangerous to a person. They are damaging to a person's psyche, and I feel like if a person is repeatedly playing those games, they would become desensitized to acts of violence.

    Do you practice yoga? Does it help you summon "deeper levels of will power"? 91\

    No, I don't practice yoga. I know that to some people that is a form of meditation and relaxation. But for me, I'm not a person who likes to sit still for long. I don't think it summons deeper levels of will power, as I said I don't really do yoga and I can't sit still for a while. My form of relaxation is to read or watch T.V.

    Does the prevalence of adults without children at Disney (and other) theme parks say something important or disturbing about our society? 403
    I don't think it is disturbing, I think it is kind of cute. The world is a difficult place and most people look at their childhood fondly when they think of the movies and tv shows that they watched. Some people want to relive some of their happiest moments when everything was exciting to them. I'm not a fan of going to amusement parks but I'm not going to hate on adults who want to enjoy their childhood again.

    In the future do you think Virtual Reality will be "ridiculous, sublime, wonderful, or awful"? Or all of the above? Will it make us even more fantasy-prone, and less capable of discerning facts and reality?
    I feel like virtual reality will be wonderful as it will create an escape from everyday life and the struggles that are in it. However I do believe that it will have consequences like some people may be more prone to just continue to be in virtual reality and make it harder for them to realize what's virtual and what's real.
    Does the goal of "being somebody" make it more difficult to be happy?
    Personally I think that it does make it harder to be happy when you try to be somebody to people. Mainly because if your trying to be somebody to everyone you know it makes it harder on yourself to be the person that they want.
    What does "Success" mean to you? How does it relate to discovering your "real me"?
    Success for me would probably be being happy in what I do in life or have done. Personally I think it relates to the real me cause if I enjoy what I do or have done then that is the real me.

    Does the goal of "being somebody" make it more difficult to be happy?
    I don’t think it makes it more difficult but I think to be anything in this world you’re going to have to set some amount of happiness to the side and have to work through a little bit of tough times whether that’ds a lot of schooling or rigorous training schedule to become a better athlete you’re going to have to trade pleasure for success a few times in your life in order to achieve greatness

  19. Do you practice yoga? Does it help you summon "deeper levels of will power"?
    I personally do not practice yoga, but I do consistently workout to stay healthy. I do not think yoga exactly helps you summon "deeper levels of will power" but rather helps you to stop and reflect. Controlling your breathing and calming your mind can actually help someone do what they previously thought was impossible because they tune out everything else around and can then just focus on that one thing which is now made a little easier because now 100% of their focus can be directed at one task. For example when lifting a heavier weight than normal, it is better to take a minute to control your breathing, get comfortable, and only focus on what is in front of you which can make it feel like a new level of will power.
