Thanks for you reply – I like the way you describe emptiness in this quite tangible way. And it is the answer to my question, I guess. I am still presupposing a self of some sort, when I ask, why the mind does not optimize for ‘its’ five aggregates. True No-self would mean there is nobody optimizing for pleasure or avoiding pain. Wisdom becomes the driver of actions instead. And whatever wisdom drives is not a self – this last step is kind of hard to grasp still, but I guess it makes sense. Fascinating stuff!
