In response to your theory of checklist existing as guideline for human or personal progression...
Well, it's all subjective. In the end everything exists on a subjective level. Why do we bother to follow laws? No, the better question to raise would be, "why do we bother to follow laws which are subjective and made by human thought, which also rely on the theory of subjectivity?" Fuck, whatever. The only purpose of this example is that I perceive a checklist being similar to laws. Checklists are simply guidelines, guidelines which essentially translate to what we define as "laws". Sure, I guess you could say it exists for the sake of human or personal progression. Why bother striving for progress in the first place? Is it simply human nature? That's easy to argue. It's harder to justify however, because hey... who can justify what human nature actually is? Actually, who can justify anything? It's all subjective. Can justification even exist under the reign of subjectivity? Where am I getting at? I feel crazy. I forget sometimes.
Are you a "subjective interpreter of objective truths"?
Maybe humanity's impulse to have any sort of checklist for anything at all is that underlying fear of death. Having a "checklist" gives one something to fight for, something to live for... and by striving to accomplish anything on this checklist only makes that "something" truly ours. Therefore, the fear of death is really the fear of losing subjectivity and vice versa. It is not life that we fight for... We are subjective beings. ie: "This chair exists because I exist". We live/fight for subjectivity because we want to prove ourselves real, our existence real, we exist. Then there is death... deep down, whether we know it yet or not... our existence becomes something else when we die... we become objective. And hey, that's the point; we don't want that.
I think objectifying oneself solidifies our own subjective truths. That is my interpretation (rather dare I say purpose?) of having a checklist at all.

Your blog is way too all over the place to even attempt to respond to, so i think I'll tell you some things that ran through my mind while reading this:
Humans are the only things that are unpredictable
You can put a rat at one end of a maze and a piece of cheese at the other and you know the rat will go towards the cheese. If you put a human in the same scenario you don't know what the hell they're gunna do (sleep, climb over the maze, kick through it, masturbate, etc., etc.).
We are alive because we die, to die you must be alive at one point.
Besides, Descartes already proved that shit home skillet.
hahaha,
i like checklists
or maybe lists in general actually
i think of things to do
as goals
not so much laws because
its my choice &initiative to follow through
&actually do those things
not necessarily to make progress
(which is an obvious reason)
but just "to do"
okay maybe im sounding crazy now
on the topic of checklists
is it redundant to put
"check off check list"
on a checklist
but now that i read that last thought i think i have answered my own question.
anyways, i think this is what you get when you put mmw + cat together on a blogspot
...a mess. :P
