What ought?

 Hmm, what do i wanna write about?

Interesting life I have right now and I guess i'm really thankful to God that my days are full and generally pleasant. But that being said, this is life and I suppose I am still not one to be content with being content for some reason. I'm happy with being content but i'm not content to just be content, if that makes sense. Like I don't wanna stop striving or at least trying hard for future improvements even though life is now pretty good.

So.. honestly speaking what are the things that can be improved on in my life?

An equally honest reflection would reveal that almost everything can be improved. But perhaps that is not a particularly useful answer.

I am quite pleased with some progress I've made actually. I dunno how much more progress I like to make, at a pace that is ideal for chasing too much progress is also not ideal because there are tradeoffs to chasing said progress which might make it not progress in other areas (such as being contented).

Hmmm...

I just had a thought that my niece is like an LLM, kinda like drawing wrong inferences by putting patterns together in a best guess but without knowing more or grasping at true reality. And then I thought that that is a fundamental flaw in LLMs where they do not have any grasp of true reality and all they are doing are just best guesses. And then I thought that perhaps that is maybe not the problem, and that all knowledge are just best guesses at the moment. In that sense, how is the sum of human knowledge, inferior to that of an LLM? And the answer is that is because the sum of human knowledge is that which is used to gauge and test the LLM by. But regarding truth claims, man. If you take a more skeptical view of epistemology, the LLM could be as good a guess as any human brain, both in the sense of mapping that to truth, and to human known / deemed truth. Well I suppose I'm not getting at anything in particular. There is no big "so what", as with taking an overly skeptical position in Hume. Bla bla bla, nobody knows anything or the truth and yet the world goes on because everyone acts like they do, so it is (probably) a waste of time.

What is life for? To glorify God and enjoy him for ever. But that is very vague. What does glorifying God and enjoying him forever entail? Say, slightly more scoped to on this side of mortality. And say slightly more scoped to living in Singapore, and say slightly more scoped to my life? There are lots of things that can be said, probably no wrong-statements like more thankfulness, more humility. all the virtues so on so forth. But it doesn't drilldown to anything specific. How do you be more thankful? And how does that look like in life holistically more than just a paper exercise, like reflect and be thankful. Well maybe for thankfulness paper exercises function like a physical exercise in that it might build muscle (brain muscle?) memory or actually habits. But is it really about just trying to build more good virtuous habits... Maybe it is, maybe it is.
