Semper Progrediens

Unable to swallow any doctrine, religious, political or otherwise, since turning six years of age, decades of thought on what is and is not has led me to conclude through repeated empirical observation that the world is not a grand, pre-scripted stage on which we are simply cast. Instead, the world is what we make of it. Nothing more, or less. And our progress is not quatitatively measurable aside from the sensation of always moving forward.

Existence is a vast probabilistic quantum field, a realm of pure potential, and each of us is a nascent consciousness, born into a muliverse of infinite possibilities. We are not bound to any kind of pre-determined narrative or to any sort of destiny inscribed in some celestial ledger. Rather, our journey through space-time is the sum of every choice, every action, and every thought we produce. This reality is a dynamic and ever-unfolding creation happening in realtime, a direct consequence of our will collapsing a wave of potential into a definite state. True self-actualization is found not in adhering to a set journey but in the liberating freedom of knowing that our lives are entirely our own to construct, to shape, and to define, moment by moment.

Upon concepstion we are a core of pure potential ready to engage with and chart its own course through the multiiverse. From our first zygotic cellular division, we begin a process of becoming. Our essence is not a fixed monument, but a fluid sculpture, continually molded by the pressure of lived experience. We begin life not as a predestined product, but a point of origin, a nascent self radiating with the energy of choice. Each decision, no matter how small-the question we choose to ask, the book we decide to read, the person we choose to engage with-adds a new thread, a new color, a new timbre, a new dimension to our reality. This journey is not about reaching a final destination that was always meant for us; it is about the infinite series of detours, pivots, and intentional turns that define who we are in each passing moment. The richness of our existence lies in this constant, active construction. We are the architects of our own character, the cartographers of our own existence map. There is no external force guiding our hand, only the power of our own conscious will to choose, to create, and to become more than we were the instant before. Our mathematics, sciences, and arts are tools we can master and leverage to express the unique symphony of our existence. This is the profound and liberating truth that underpins all meaningful endeavors.

To fully embrace this creative power requires shedding any belief in a pre-ordained fate. The idea that our lives are a set of cosmic dominoes, each one fated to fall in a specific sequence, is crass denial our most fundamental gift: our agency. Predestination is an ultimately hollow illusion. This perspective requires a deliberate rejection of frameworks that seek to define and confine human potential. Such systems, often presented as a guide to some pre-defined good, can be seen for what they are: constricting control mechanisms designed to enforce conformity and stifle individual expression. They offer the illusion of a fixed script, but at the cost of genuine self-discovery and the freedom to forge one's own future. True self-actualization demands that we liberate ourselves from such restrictive narratives, understanding that the only path to a meaningful life is one we forge on our own, free from the dictates of others' dogma.

Our compass is our own intuition, and our map represents our own vectors of creative ingenuity.
