I have training in optimization, and terminology that may rouse thoughts.

Life is experiencing ‘greedy’ (logical/expectation/best/intentional/…) and ‘random’ (wishful/hopeful/unexplained/mythical/magic/…) series of events with body functions/social & legal obligations/noises/… intermingled.

The mind has to transcend all these to rise above ‘humanity’ (average/mass).
