HUMANS
Today I saw two videos on youtube, one on levels of consciousness and one on levels of intelligence. In those videos, humanity was given an ascending order to compare themselves with, to realise what level of awareness they are on and here are my thoughts on them both.
We are the most complex yet the simplest species I have ever encountered in the 16 years I have lived.
We create levels, levels of intelligence and levels of what not, all usually inspired by society,intentionally or not and I have noticed,the level that is the highest is the one that does not believe in these human-made levels,the one that sees beyond it.
But believing is completely subjective.
If you choose not to believe in those levels, then those sets of comparisons do not exist for you and vice versa.
Ironically, the highest level is basically the simplicity of the first level but with awareness.
Yet, whoever you are, level 1, level 7, or level 0, at the end you will perish and so will your impacts.
Life is not linear, life is not static, it is a dance between everything, between autopilot and metacognition. It is grey,black,white and everything in between.

Therefore the ladder of those levels and your position on them is fluid. So, it's you who chooses what you want to do with the rest of your life, do you want power, do you want a quiet life, do you simply exist or leave a historical impact, whatever it will be, it will be you only!
And this my friends is called overthinking and decoding it. This is a personal topic full of thoughts that I haven't properly touched on but this is what happens once I start thinking. I always come to a conclusion and if I don't, I write ✍️!
