I fail to see what's simple about being adrift in a roiling sea of chaos that one literally can't make sense of 24/7.

I just think it's tragic.
Looking at these people, it's like, their problems are literally child's play to solve, but they can't see it for what it is.
Like, I know a person that got a DUI, and they blame the world, they blame the government, they blame everyone except the one person who could have prevented that. Like how the fuck hard is it to just sit yo ass at home when you get drunk? That strikes me as a no-brainer. Like fuckin' duh. But this person is legitimately perplexed at how their life took this turn. I don't mean they just don't want to take responsibility for their own shit, I mean they don't appear to understand that it IS their own shit, if that makes sense.
That bullshit fucking baffles me.

Humans are caught in a paradox of knowledge. Some would argue that Adam and Eve didn't have free will until after they ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But they did have free will before that (otherwise they wouldn't have been able to eat it) they just didn't KNOW that they had free will until after they ate it. Knowing is what caused all the fuck ups. So ever since then everyone knows that they fucked up, but they didn't know that they could know that they could fuck up until after they already fucked up. So it's like now people have to use their free will (that ultimately fucked them up in the first place) to get rid of their free will. Another paradox.

Or maybe some people are just fucking retarded.

Because of the paradox of free will. Even calling it 'free will' is a paradox because there is nothing free about any of it. 'Free will' might as well just be called 'failure'.
