asking people for "reasons" "why" they do things is a way wordcels bully people. don't fall for it

if you are doing anything interesting or original at some point you may become "cool" this is a period of demonic temptation. if you enjoy being cool too much, if you fixate on it, pursue it, you will never produce anything interesting or original again

It's 2025 anno domini and right-wing Twitter has seized the federal government of the richest, most powerful nation on earth by way of a senile media personality.

sorry to all my esoteric racist followers but racially neutral secular state + strong civic identity + selective immigration is actually the winning combo

merry christmas!

on the "religion and psychedelics" question i take the median position which is that psychedelics *can* produce epiphantic, life changing experiences (for the better) but the consequences of those experiences have to be lived out in daily life - probably by conversion to some traditional faith

i just saw "the seventh seal" for the first time and the preponderance of nordic metal bands makes a bit more sense now

i am the stereotypical guy who takes too much acid and thinks he's a theologian. basically the inquisition was set up to deal with guys like me

buddhists be like "yeah, it's epi-phenomena all the way down"

from the object level perspective of the benefits obtained from a habit - missing a day is usually not that big a deal from the meta-level perspective of habit formation, missing a day is a catastrophe to be avoided

unfalsifiable metaphysical assumptions rule everything around me

everyone is low agency except for me. i bet if i were around higher agency people i could get great things accomplished

ais that get better and better at imitating the form of human reasoning will produce errors too subtle to be detected by humans. in the same way that there are microplastics in the food supply we will have microslop in the noosphere

i guess i should start posting here huh

is there a discord or voice chat where twitter refugees are hanging out

people who say "real communism has never been tried" sure get upset when you make the same argument about fascism

do any of my tpot homies wanna do a fascism

please don't make me fucking defend e*genrobot. i don't want to defend e*genrobot fucking normies man

well, bluesky is now the superior platform

oh great that weird guy is staring at me again

gods of the copybook headings, abridged version

bluesky feels like twitter after i've had 6 beers but not in a gregarious, unhinged kind of way but just in the way where accomplishing basic things is more difficult for some reason

tpot is a group composed largely of people excluded from more "natural" tribes by some combination of: 1) limited social skills 2) preference for internal consistency over social convention 3) derealization, extreme spiritual practice, or religious experience 4) temperamental heresy or iconoclasm

AKSHULLY tpot is people who makes fun of those people, but in a cool, sophisticated way, not in a cringe normie way

holy fuck i had to message someone just to find the login page for this piece of shit platform

guys this is jankier than twitter and twitter was pretty janky
