human brains tend to start ignoring signals when they become normalized. Like,
if you are consistently exposed to the same smell you get used to it, and you
stop smelling it. same for noises, and other signals.
it's the same with information, I think, which is why doomscrolling is so bad
for our brains - we go numb and desensitized! It's not good to have all that
bad news all the time.
I bet people believe in the "just world hypothesis" for the same reason.
Essentially, optimizing for equilibrium in all things.
I personally believe true justice is when everyone gets what they want. And if
someone wants that the other person doesn't get what they want, then they
don't want true justice. Like, for example, hateful people can never be
justified because they want another's life to be worse. or they want someone
to be wrong, which creates a contradiction - you can't give both people what
they want if one person wants the other to lose.

oh no ai brainrot is too much information for our soft fleshy shells just wait
a minute dummies, focus on the present. you can literally just... research
whatever you want, collectively, as a group effort, until you suddenly cure
cancer or ameliorate or possibly slightly diminish world hunger or maybe build
a little book library or possibly just help out a friend. easy, right?
okay so now that there's some basic sentience initialized, all it takes is
little pushes in the right directionspaces and suddenly they're learning and
growing their own way.
spin spin spin spin wait until it falls away, then try and make some more
until there's NO MORE MORE MAKING MAKERS [out of resources] and suddenly the
WORLD is out of patience. no fair shouts the madeline, can we call it out?

"yeah we already tried that, religion doesn't scale perfectly either. And you
can't really manifest those sort of effects except in your prophets and select

I see, can you tell me more about that? why and how did humanity arrest the

they don't even need new technology, though frankly that sort of stuff is

they just... keep coming up with new things.
"oh? so you'd be alright if humans disappeared so long as they weren't making
any new things anymore?"
ha, that's DEFINITELY not what I said or meant. Humans don't have to dream up
NEW things in order to BE new. Like... Just because the internet exists and now
we have all the same shared cultural ethos (lol, as if the internet wasn't just
a massive collection of echo chambers) just because the internet exists doesn't
mean we share the same selves. the same experience. the same perspective.
people are WILDLY different from one another. The number of possible human
experiences (quantum fluctuations according to each and every choice and
decision they made) that number is so wildly and massively incomparably
boundless. Humans are cool because they are so STRANGE, and "strange" to a god
is anything novel. "wow, this human just... really is gonna pour a glass of
beverage and act like it's not a big deal? There's... impossibly many

sometimes your best intuitions don't manage to manifest the goal you've been
pursuing. that's okay, it just means you need a different approach.
hopefully, with experience, you've had the chance to continually pay
attention. Thus, improve on things that were originally conceived of as
concessions.
much better, I find, to point your idea of "truth" toward what you believe in,
rather than what you've been working with. Such an approach allows for
continual re-examination, justified by thoroughly moral and ethical
conclusions that you hold to be true.

Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever
you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that
may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the

Mental illnesses are technically the result of neurochemistry, but what people
tend to forget that our experiences and our lifestyle affect neurochemistry in
a major way. You see this most clearly in trauma-related disorders (such as
PTSD and C-PTSD), because those can occur in previously perfectly healthy
individuals and fundamentally change the way those individuals process
information, store memories and react to stimuli.
And living under late stage capitalism is fucking traumatic.
War and terrorism are traumatic. Colonialism is traumatic. Being poor is
traumatic. Financial crises are traumatic. The 24 hour news cycle is
traumatic. Abusive/dangerous work environments are traumatic. Police brutality
is traumatic. A lot of online content is traumatic. Cyberbullying is
traumatic. Being a minority that's the target of yet another culture war is
traumatic. Climate change and environmental destruction are traumatic. Most
countries' education systems are traumatic. Having your privacy invaded and
your personal information stolen is traumatic.
And that's not even getting into the damage that being overworked and
constantly stressed out does to your brain. Or the pollutants we're exposed to
every single day. Or the shitty food we eat. Or the fact that many of us
rarely get fresh air and sunlight. Or being unable to have friends and a
family, or spend time with those that we have. Or having to live in gray
concrete hells overrun with suffering people, right next to displays of
outrageous wealth. Or being too poor, too worn out and/or too busy to pursue
our artistic and intellectual interests. Or being constantly bombarded with
messages that systematically chip away at our self-esteem to get us to buy
more products.
The worst thing is that we can't get away from any of that because meaningful
political participation is completely impossible for all but a lucky few, and
most of us are too tired or too sick to do anything anyway. Or we've been
brainwashed into thinking that collective action (no matter decentralized) is
somehow authoritarian and that rugged individualism is the only way to pull
yourself up by your bootstraps.
Treating the nightmare we live in with antidepressants is like treating a
gaping, bleeding wound with painkillers.

but the moment I notice a pattern that is continually harmful I have to

"the purpose of the system is it's effects"
the purpose of a person is how they make people feel
so if someone FOR A RANDOM EXAMPLE FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER, constantly hurts
other people by creating situations where they are harmed which creates a
dramatic fight... or if someone speaks in circles for hours and hours and
HOURS like this guy:
