The Theater Principle — "It's All a Perfermance" Further in Depth

Improvisation

In this performance, you shouldn’t take life very seriously. In fact you should take life with a grain of salt, it’s all a performance, it will all end one day, will you wallow or will you thrive? You broke a nail? laugh. You accidentally broke your favorite toy, gadget? laugh. This isn’t to say you should laugh at everything, some things do require a serious demeanor or is simply impossible to just take with a grain of salt. But most things in our precarious existence is- it’s a laughing matter, stress isn’t good for you anyway, so why stress over every little thing? The universe is yours, every other living being are your cast-mates, objective meaning doesn’t exist, only objective truth. And the only objective truth within our grasp is colonization and technological advancement.

Everything within the universe, multi-verse even, is all a show. If a species with greater technology, power, and understanding of reality were to treat us like cattle; similar to the sheer natural power dynamics of humans to a fly; thrive in it, after all it’s entertaining. Take joy in the fact the performance is really lighting the stage. This performance is improvisation, nothing is predetermined, free will is at the basis and fingertips of all organisms. Anything can be seen as good, as good and bad are nothing more than human values, improvisation, therefore in this instance one can choose to change their attitude in a situation completely out of their control. This realization in the principle is called improvisation. One objective truth the principle highlights is the fact that if humanity fails to colonize other solar systems, moving on to the next arc, we will likely be recast, or our chair will be destroyed. Our chair being our home planet.

What’s the meaning of life?

To satisfy your inquisitiveness

Neutral to the possibility of a deity, there is no objective meaning to life, only objective truth. That truth being survival, reproduction, and moving forward in the plot. As for meaning, meaning is only subjective, you must make your own meaning. If you believe in a deity, that could give you your meaning, but even this is a subjective meaning as it faith and belief based. As there are many religions, none of them are objective truth. If they were, there would have only been one, and it wouldn’t be completely faith, belief based. Make your own meaning, whether that’s believing in a deity or something else. Live life to the fullest as it’s all a performance, laugh, love, and focus on objective truth.

Perform

To re-cap, to perform is to move throughout the seemingly natural, and orchestrated nature of the universe that works against us. by contributing to technological advancements, scientific breakthroughs, philosophy, or anything of the like that adds to the prestige of the human race. These natural oppositions are potential technological stagnation, prospective mass extinction events, or even extraterrestrial threats that came out of nowhere. This principle is called perform.

The credits

Remember the show must go on, take most things with a grain of salt as they’re not worth shortening your precious existence over, perform, and enjoy the show. If your were fortunate enough to be part of the cast trillions auditioned for, you’re objectively gifted. Gifted with the gift of life which is a gift in of itself, and opportunity to contribute to much beyond yourself. Entertainment breeds life into us, so how great must it feel to be in one giant cinema, starring in the production? Death is a natural part of this gift, but you shall always be in the credits, as we never truly die, we simply change our form of matter. And subatomic makeup spread throughout the cosmos that make up this theater.

Why fear death? You got the part, and will be forever acknowledged with your mere undestroyable energy still existing. Don’t waste this role you’ve been giving living in fear and paranoia you will lose it. You will receive your credit. This part of the principle is called the credits.

Lashon — *Breathes out exaggeratedly as if he just made that presentation in one breath* god I love being a new philosopher, this principle has been gaining popularity, and I’m not even close to being done developing it.

That was a screenplay joke, you know, because this is a philosophical theory about theater… no? ok.
