new "Cult of 'Non-Beliefism' " aka (the state of being "unlocked")

RE: new "Cult of 'Non-Beliefism' " aka (the state of being "unlocked")
We all have conditional beliefs based on pragmatic assumptions. We wouldn't be able to learn anything or function without them. You'd just be flailing around in the dark, or doing nothing at all.

I don't have certainty in anything, and that's all I can hope you're getting at. A belief doesn't have to be certainty. It's just a way of navigating reality. It's an idea of how things seem to work, within the assumed framework. Maybe nothing is real and all our ideas are wrong. All we can do is work with what appears to be going on, and what works.

Not having peconceptions is good. Accepting that all belief/knowledge is conditional is good. Questioning everything is good. Recognizing that certainty is dangerous, is good. Saying you don't have any beliefs is ridiculous, or at least, it's using a very weird definition for "belief". You've made several beliefs you have clear in every post.
