# An Infinity of Options By:: [[Brian Heath]] 2023-08-07 Our entry point into the world is not a choice. If it were, one may have a lot to think about. However, assuming that one has no experiences before the entry point, it would be hard to know what to think about. Existence do not imply experience, thought, knowledge, or wisdom. But, one captures at least some experience along their existence. Thought, knowledge, and wisdom must be an intentional choice. Alas, there is a chicken-or-egg problem here. How does one have intention to gain thought, knowledge, and wisdom when thought, knowledge and wisdom is required to have intention? What came first, knowledge or intention? Conscientiousness is illusive. We know very little about it in every dimension and field of study. Perhaps it was an evolutionary mutation or the desire of a higher entity. Regardless of origin, we have it. So, what does one do with it? Mere existence seems like a waste and ignoring the resultant human suffering is denial of reality that will only cause the suffering to worsen. Reflecting on origins is only productive if it means something about the present. After that point, it does not matter. Unlike the entry point, an infinity of options await. #### Related Items [[Choice]] [[Decision-making]] [[Wisdom]] [[Knowledge]] [[Thinking]] [[Time]]
