But I'm starting to think there really aren't.
I mean sure, if you kill someone or commit some other kind of terrible crime, you'll probably go to jail.
But other than that?? Pft...
I dunno man. It seems like the only "consequences" are things in your own personal life that you have to deal with because of your actions/behaviors. No big deal.
Cuz when it comes to society at large, it doesn't seem like it matters what you do...
If you do bad things, people eventually forget about the bad things you did and you stick around and that's all there is to it.
It's like we've been conditioned to believe we're living in a cage, but the cage door has been unlocked the whole time.
90% of what's held us in line is straight up brainwashing, and that's all there is to it.

Most of the reason people hold themselves back is because they don't want to be judged by others, the court of opinion.
They don't want to be made fun of. That's basically it.

I'm not saying there's no right and wrong.
There's universal law, and we shouldn't do bad things.
But this isn't even really about doing "bad" things, it's about doing ANYTHING that seems "out of line" with what the sheeple masses are doing.
Any way that you go against the grain, stand out, be different...
There really are no consequences.
And people may shit talk you at first, but eventually, they'll end up all monkey-see-monkey-do about whatever you brought to the table.

One of the most obvious things that keep us in line would be relationships...
Romantic relationships, family, friends...
We don't want to do the "wrong" things because then "whoever" will be super unhappy with us.
Lmfao!
Tell you what cures that...
Getting people the fuck out of your life.

The amount of freedom we actually have just as humans...
It's pretty intense.
Sure, in some regions of the world, there are strict and repressive societal constructs, ideologies, etc.
I'm not saying these things don't exist and inhibit human freedom.
But largely...
If you just go gloves off and 100% give no fucks...
You can basically do whatever you want.
And even if you DO die (or suffer some other imposition) because of it, you still did what the fuck you wanted.
If you die, you come back as another lifeform, somewhere in the universe. Maybe on Earth, maybe on another planet. Maybe you're a human or a humanoid, maybe you're a weevil or a sponge. It doesn't matter...
You come back and you can do what the fuck you want.

They want you to think there are consequences... but there aren't.
If you're just a regular person who wants to do whatever seems exciting or important to you, and you don't have bad intentions... there are no consequences.
The only consequences are OTHER PEOPLE being weird toward you, most likely out of jealousy or some other "triggered" emotion that reflects their own shortcomings or inhibitions back to themselves.
