The required amount of learning how in order to learn why varies according to the individual. The more that can be understood, the easier it will be to understand Why. This is because when one discovers Why, he will find it correlates exactly with everything he understands about How. Every single scientific fact on how matches perfectly with the answer to Why.

The primary skill with How that is required to understand Why is what I would call horizontal thinking, more commonly known as lateral thinking. You can search what that is if you are unfamiliar with the term. Unfortunately for the extreme majority, this skill is limited by one's IQ; appearing unconsciously and automatically only starting at 3 standard deviations above the norm, roughly 145. Otherwise, it can only operate consciously and manually. The ability to see and understand the synchronous characteristics between seemingly unrelated phenomena is an art form restricted to only polymaths.

Now back to the question of Why, the answer is very simple. So simple I could summarize it in one word. One word that will have zero meaning to any of you. You lack sufficient understanding of How, When, Where, and Who, in this order, to fully appreciate and understand Why. Even with an expansion to a million words, the answer would hold almost zero meaning to you.

So why am I telling you this, if I will not give you the answer to Why? You should not want to know. This is even if you can arrive at it. I was born with the right background, with the right inherent abilities, to the right family, in the right location, at the right time period, knew the right people, and underwent the right circumstances to facilitate my acquisition of it.

The answer to Why will cause complete madness. I suffered temporary amnesia, hallucinations, and depression for years after. This is a level of understanding I believe no human is capable of containing without negative consequences. It will shatter your mind. You will not be able to be a normal human afterwards. You cannot ever be again. You lose your free will, although it was just an illusion to begin with, as you understand the universal law that governs everything, and must obey by sole virtue of understanding it. Your emotions will all die. You will no longer feel happiness, sadness, anger, excitement, nor anything else. Total stoicism is the result. Just your base needs and higher order thinking will remain. You cannot kill yourself despite the depression, as the understanding of Why forbids it.

You will understand yourself in totality, and it will end you in totality. You shall shatter into a million pieces. If you manage to rearrange yourself, you will be changed in totality. If not, you will die from madness. You must act perfectly in according to your understanding of Why, but cannot. Humans are imperfect. This will be a permanent source of irritation.

You will understand why you are the way you are, why everything happened to you did happen and will happen, and why others were, are, and shall be. All simultaneously. The amount of information you will be able to see and understand approaches omniscience. This will cause extreme mental stress. It still will not be true omniscience however, as that requires total understanding of How, When, Where, and Who as well as Why, simultaneously. You will know more than can be known, yet not everything that can be known.

I will tell you a few things to help you through my understanding of Why. They will likely not make sense to you as you do not know Why. These are some of the answers I sought when seeking the answer to Why. Unfortunately, I did not forsee the negative consequences that accompany the understanding. However, this advice will still be valid even without the understanding of Why.

You are here for a very short time. You are writing no more than a simple examination. A difficult one to be sure, but a simple one. It is supposed to be difficult. Humans are slaves. Humans cannot function correctly with nothing superior to them. Everything else in the universe exists to serve humans. There are no other higher order life forms in the universe. You will never be happy until you learn to be content. You will never be content until you learn virtues. Discipline is the only mental skill that you need to be successful. You must always be improving. You will understand the best path in your life to take through introspection and understanding of yourself. One's true character is revealed in how he behaves to those beneath him. That character is what he shall ultimately receive in return as an exact mirror image from everyone else. Ignorance is bliss. Knowledge is power. Power is everything.

You should not pursue the path I have gone. It has taken me full time study of many fields for longer than all of you have been living to arrive at the understanding to the answer of Why. If you were to follow all the advice in the above paragraph, you would have a successful and satisfying life. If you internalized it, it would then logically lead you to the How's required to facilitate a successful and satisfying life, which you would then learn and apply. Do so, and leave this place. It's in your best interest.

I am aware of the truths you stated, should I know more before proceeding with my life?

Slovenian doomer-looking boomer had nice explanation for it.

I'm solving this riddle as hundreds of generations before me, it's nothing special, however the more answers I have, the less I like it; not because the answers are not "pretty solutions" but because they are nothing positive at all BUT make sense.

On one hand you must admit that everything is set up in very beautiful way, it's incredible how some mechanisms of universe/nature work, in this context "life is simulation" isn't that much ridiculous thought, on the other hand, you do realize this instability of this all. Nothing is here forever, nothing is here completely determined but rather it follows non-obvious patterns of randomness, a lot of things went wrong, etc. The real trouble comes when you put it in contrast with this ever-loving ever-happy human views and realize it is just mere coping mechanism. Universe/nature is something very cold and very brutal, almost if not completely fascistic.

I really like the idea that - even no matter if this universe is just one of many - this whole structure is here as by accident, it just IS for no reason at all. It's not satisfying answer but it's the one I have easiest time dealing with. I would much rather like the non-existence in the most extremist way possible - there would be literally nothing, nothing would exist. When you think about this, you realize that something is not adding up because you can't truly imagine as if nothing would exist, ever. You can think about it as about "states of being", universe now is the same way as it could not be.

Of course, you can think more deeply about it and think that if universe has no observers, then the universe can not be qualified by anyone as existing, but whatever, I don't want to write essays about this.

The universe probably isn't supposed to make sense in any way we can possibly conceive. Our consciousness longs for meaning but this longing will forever prevent us from accessing the true nature of things. The sheer fact that reality can be experienced renders it so distorted that any answer we seek within our lifetimes is bound to be severely lacking in insight.

Life is in itself an anomaly, as was the primordial cosmic imbalance. Life is nothing but yet another arrangement of matter obeing nature's rule of reaching the state of lowest energy possible, as all things past the quantum level are bound to obey. An anomaly within an anomaly cannot possibily hope to comprehend what gave rise to the anomaly in the first place, if it had any need for an origin at all.

The obscuring veil of consciousness isn't everlasting, fortunately. Death will carry us back from the nothingness that preceded birth, back when no answers were needed in the first place. This is a very vicious and cruel process by all accounts, but such is the nature of life. Stoicism is the most sensible approach to limiting suffering in life but as for the Why, no closure will ever be achievable.

now we only need Panama and Singapore and we can start a banking cartel

>why

because some omnipotent clouds dude said so apparently
