Bias Of Self {Content}

Default view

Consequences of the misleading concept of self

• possession
  • buying a house on the beach in the hope of "having the beach"
  • owning a pet in order to have safe affection
  • posses a degree to give you the sense of a probable success in life hence stability and the chance to climb the ladder (see also Diploma)

etc... all about possessive control to, rationally up to a certain point, try to minimize risk.

Counter position

You are still subject to statistical disaster outside of your reach, you do not possess any single thing, just get the ability to use it for a short amount of time (even if it is your entire lifespan),
