Destroy It
Destroy everything you’ve ever known about anything in the world. All the books, the papers, the files, the folders. Every little place you keep information that you use to define the world we live in.
Then spend 40 years in solitary confinement in your dead, destroyed room being fed meals through tubes and buttons. Forget everything you have ever known about anything.
Spend another 10 years contemplating all the information still remaining in your head. All the abstract philosophical questions that we bury deep beneath the piles of random useless facts about day to day life or living.
After which come out of solitary confinement and talk to the first person you see. Strike up conversations with everyone you see. Build friendships, make enemies, and scare people as you talk to them: sticking firmly to your beliefs and learnings from these years spent alone.

Someone asked me once how you are supposed to live your life.
…
I guess I just answered it.
