My name is Chase Whitney. I, like everyone, have gained my experience and understanding through the world by a fair amount of observation, extensive overcoming of the difficulties and pain of life, and budding collaboration. I do not claim that I am special. I am unique only in the sense that everyone is in their own way.
I've chosen to be a part of this movement because I can imagine a better future, not only for myself, but for anyone and everyone who has felt beaten down by struggles of the world. A world that appears to actively want to beat us down instead of promoting our collective rise. I believe that if something can be imagined it can be achieved. In Pyramid Realm, I see a true chance to start to change the way we view our government, our collective consciousness, and ultimately ourselves in all aspects.
From my own experiences I have found how difficult it can be to alter the way we view ourselves and the world. It’s honestly just hard to accept change or truths that have been hidden from sight for seemingly so long. Yet I know that this process is nothing but vital. Vital for the way we are told to live and are governed, vital for the planet and its preservation. It is vital for human ingenuity and creativity to flourish, and again, vital for our own sanity in wanting to even be alive and to be a part of this world. I’ve found that escaping everything can be easier, but ultimately the underlying issues still remain. When I have done this I’ve found only that I become desensitized to the pain the world is going through. I feel less pain but I also feel less connected to the world. And while at times it can be healthy, even more so necessary to do this, I’ve found that the pain doesn’t go away. If there are still entities suffering, ultimately so do I. And while I do feel the cliche saying, “ignorance is bliss” holds some truth, constantly running can be just as exhausting as anything else, and in addition, ignoring the worlds burden entirely does nothing to aid in its evolution.
I believe that the only way to lessen the collective burden is to put in effort. I believe that effort on any scale, whether it be donating time or money, reading the contents on this site, or even the smallest act of kindness such as a smile towards a stranger is a step in the direction of making this world truly beautiful for everyone. As it’s been said before, when we as a people, as protectors of our earth, can come together and work towards collective progress, THAT is when it is actually achieved.
Our effort and the burning desire to improve our circumstances can be the ideas for lasting change. And fuck, I know it feels daunting, but that’s why I believe we’re here, sharing our experiences, our wisdom, and our ideas. I’m ready for life to improve for the better and I want to help in any way I am able.
