In this short fiction story, when a world-class pessimistic philosopher is faced with the decision to remove a dangerous malformation in his brain, the removal of which will likely impair his philosophical thinking, he is forced to decide what truly matters in life. What makes life meaningful, how important is philosophy and truth, and how is identity driven by the way you think as much as what you think?

For those who are ambitious. Become evil, sacrifice your empathy and hypnosis. You will be more intelligent and conduct even greater curse 😊

Thinking too deep or overthinking is a blessing..not a curse.
I don't want to be stupid to stay in peace,
I don't want to be selfish to be successful,
I don't want to manipulate anyone to have favour, I don't want to impress anyone to get love. I'm good in what I'm. We are all gifted. We are perfect as we are sent.

If you are truly an intelligent person you will have to jump between deep and practical thinking and simple and soft thinking to feel the bliss for a short amount of time. Right now my mind wants knowledge and heart wants bliss, but both are always telling me not to die ignorant.

This is a thought-provoking video, I'd be thinking for days what Neil would have decided… He lived his life as a pessimistic, and I think for some reason this is his chance to live life without giving anything a second thought. I think in the end everything comes down to personal details, the relationship we build with ourselves during our lifetime. To be able to think deeply is both a boon and a curse. After a point, you have to set limits for your thoughts and subsequent actions, otherwise, it's a road never-ending with no reasonable answers at the end. To be so entangled with oneself truly depends on how well you handle your thought and self-awareness.

The problem is: how does one become more superficial?
To me, that's a downgrade because I observe those who appear to not think deeply…..and I'm so glad I'm not like them.
Ignorance is bliss, though……but do we really want to be ignorant?
The ignorant say yes, because they are ignorant.
The intelligent say no, because we observe the ignorant.

So what happened after the surgery ? Did he lived a long happy life or he became a vegetable ?

I know well this one. You see dream pass in front of you while you get older and all you can do is understand exactly why.
