Zero

-0 New Year’s Resolution

Lesson 0/5 Spring 2023

Prerequisite: I.School Lessons 1-10. 2022

0 Zero: 

The Number of New Years Resolutions I am making this year.  

Question: Why?

First, if we define Resolution as: the act of analyzing a complex notion into simpler ones. (MW) we can answer the why-

  1. Because (New Years) resolutions (as prescribed by BM’s, #2 in terms of diets, gym memberships etc.in response to holiday spurring, for example)  have not worked in the past. Simple.

  2. Because of the “work” we did last semester, the act of creating a foundation (notions thereof), is already complete.  Now we simply follow it. 1-10

  3. Because step #4 I.School, level One states: Suffering is caused by expectations based on false truths. 

  4. Therefore, expect Less. Suffer less.

Our final last semester IS the solution to this semester. Now we can start at Zero and work our way up.

Zero. Nothing. Less than nothing, which is something.

Notes on Zero:

Synonyms include- decision, judgement, determination. Word. 

All right then. We (I) made a decision to change. Now that the resolution is complete, we can test it. Again and again. Keep what works. Change as necessary. Repeat. 

Zero- Policy 

  • Social, idol gossip. 

  • Political affiliation. I have none, so I will explore them all.

  • Religion. I love to learn them all, therefore I practice none officially.

  • Money. Education needs to be free. I want nothing from you. 

  • Tolerance of any lesson that does not explain what and why.
