A flipbook is a pretty good analogy to life. Moments pass frame by frame and it takes intense energy to continuous draw and redraw the "Self" over and over again in difference scenarios.https://youtu.be/e_74LSopc5E?t=312 …

The "danger" of the journey correlates with chance of death yet knowledge and preparation reduces this danger. Someone who is well prepared for skydiving or "mental" skydiving gains proficiency and ability to act in dangerous situations (which is a useful skill) but never "dies".

Ironically, those who seek death from a desire for victory prepares well and emerge MORE difficult to kill. "Alas, as the World's Greatest, I am so lonely at the top."

Trying to kill the identity that exists even when it doesn't have to be drawn is very difficult. It's like trying to kill Santa Claus and not thinking about a pink elephant.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1324069431975141377 …

The trap of the lonely World's Greatest is trying to kill God. It's like trying to climb the tallest mountain and then calling the sky a mountain. As a metaphorical quest it's inspiring. As a literal quest it's pretty stupid.

It tries to extend the analogy. If people look small from a tall mountain then the Self will search for behaviors that make people even *smaller* dehumanizing them. If climbing the mountain gets harder, seeking God becomes a masochistic fetish for hard work & disdain for leisure.
