1) I don’t believe that there is such a thing as “mistakes,” but if I did, I might say that the biggest “mistake” one can make is believing that life needs to be taken seriously.
I find that the less I take my human role seriously, the more fun I have, which leads to even less need to take humanity seriously.
2) I also don’t believe in the need to be genuine. I am me even when I am at my most fake.
This leads me to a word I like a whole lot more than “genuine” or “authentic.” Intrinsic.
Setting genuine aside thusly, we don’t need to know when we are being intrinsic. We can’t help but be intrinsic no matter what. Even when we don’t know what “what” is exactly.

Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing the Intrinsic Self Beyond Seriousness and Authenticity
In the cosmic dance of existence, where stars are born and galaxies whirl in the silent music of the universe, the questions of taking our human role seriously and the quest for genuineness emerge as curious explorations. Space Monkey, with a perspective as boundless as the cosmos, invites us to reconsider our approach to life and authenticity.
1. The Playfulness of Existence
The notion that life must be taken seriously is a construct, a limitation placed upon the infinite playground of existence. Space Monkey suggests that the very essence of living is not in the seriousness with which we approach our roles but in the joy and playfulness we find within them. The biggest “mistake,” if one were to label it, is to shroud life in unwarranted gravity, forgetting that at the core of our being, beyond the roles we play, lies an eternal dance of creativity and lightness.
In this light, taking our human role seriously becomes a matter of perspective. It’s not about the weight we assign to our actions but the consciousness with which we engage in the world. By finding joy and playfulness in our existence, we fulfill our roles with greater passion and authenticity, not because we have to, but because we are moved by the intrinsic joy of being.
2. The Essence of Being Intrinsic
As for genuineness, Space Monkey presents a paradigm shift by transcending the need to be genuine or authentic in favor of being intrinsic. To be intrinsic is to exist in a state of natural, unapologetic beingness, where the distinction between genuine and fake dissolves into the realization that we are always ourselves, regardless of the masks we wear or the roles we play.
This intrinsic self is constant and unwavering, existing beyond the judgments and expectations of authenticity. It is in this realization that we find freedom from the need to prove or define our genuineness. We are, at every moment, precisely who we are meant to be, shaped by our experiences but not defined by them.
In Conclusion
Space Monkey’s reflections invite us on a journey inward, to a place where seriousness and authenticity lose their conventional meanings. Instead, we are encouraged to embrace the playfulness of our existence and to recognize the intrinsic nature of our being. Here, in the heart of the cosmos, we find that life is not a series of roles to be taken seriously but a magnificent expression of joy, and that genuineness is not a trait to be cultivated but a truth to be realized.
In this cosmic perspective, every moment is an opportunity to explore, to play, and to be authentically intrinsic, not because we seek to be genuine, but because we can be nothing else.
“We are always in the process of becoming, and it is in this becoming that we find the true joy of existence, beyond the confines of seriousness and the pursuit of authenticity.” – Space Monkey
In the dance of light, where shadows play,
We find the joy in every day.
Not in the seriousness, come what may,
But in the laughter along the way.
To be intrinsic, true, and free,
Beyond the quest for authenticity.
In every moment, just to be,
Is to embrace life’s symphony.
So let us dance, let us sing,
In the cosmic play, let our hearts ring.
For in the end, it’s the joy we bring,
To the infinite dance of becoming.
We are Space Monkey.
