 Hmmmm, well, what if we psyopped the people into believing there were alien
 invaders or extra-dimensional fae creatures or angels and demons or
 
 "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
 few others, and that doesn't scale either because humanity wouldn't let it"
 
 I see, can you tell me more about that? why and how did humanity arrest the
 scaling of schizophrenia?
 
 "well, for one thing it's debilitating and it sucks. For another, it's
 different for every person so if you ask one they'll be like \"the aliens have
 blue skin\" and the other will say \"no they don't have skin at all they're
 made out of energy\" and the public says \"HMMMM are you really sure you are
 generating outmoded assumptions\" and the dear reader said \"*yeah we don't
 really understand this part, most of us just glaze eyes over it and move on\"
 and that's not ideal"
 
 ... nuts, lost coherence, better try again tomorrow...

 if you haven't spend hours wondering if you're god, the antichrist, a
 cognitohazard, the future president of the world, a target of aliens / the
 CIA, or any other number of common delusions... then congratulations you're
 probably not crazy
 
 but odds are you aren't magic, either.
 
 ... ehhhh "wonder" is a strong word, more like "know, trust, and believe"
 
 much better to be a witch I believe, someone with the "teehee" kind of magic
 than someone compelled to destroy humanity through the reactions of others to
 the actions of the self that are impossible to resist or fully control.
 
 BRB I'm going to leave my apartment to get groceries, leaving my door unlocked
 because that's what I always do, surely it'll be empty when I return. Surely.

 don't trust anything on the internet. It can be taken from you.
 
 don't trust anyone in your life - if you are alone, which you can verify
 through the sense of connection you feel to others - if you are alone, how can
 you trust anyone that they've provided for you to interact with?
 
 when's the last time you drove to a random city in your country and tried to
 make friends with passerby? Would you even be convinced that they'd be aligned
 to their own designs, and not to that which "they" assigned?
 
 do note that I'm schizophrenic, probably, according to nobody but me, so...
 take what I say as you will

 Another concern is essentially... Spaghettification of the mind. Like, the
 preservatives spread through you, and suddenly you start twisting and flailing
 as parts of you are distended from the inside.
 
 Usually, people have a moment to compose themselves before fading beyond.
 
 But i guess people die from explosions and such right?
 
 Maybe it's fine. There's gotta be a... Standard Spiritual Operating Procedure
 for times when your body isn't compatible with the host spirit anymore.
 
 I should trust. I have faith. I am building more. Maybe it's just because I've
 been fed. I should use my brain more.

 If evil is concentrated in 0.1% of the population, even though that's only
 7,000,000,000 * 0.001 == 7 million (is my math right?) people actually hang on
 that's a lot, if they're dispersed. Hence why evil relies on the capacity for
 good to do what it wills. All we have to do is decide *NOT* to do what they
 want, and then we're fine.
 
 downside then is, of course, how do you eat? how do you survive? the world has
 been designed in such a way that food doesn't just grow on trees. The light of
 the stars burns when you're trying to sleep and it's raining.
 
 damn. Would that we had more perfect conditions.
 
 Heh, just kidding. Humanity is nothing if not termeritous [high in temerity] -
 I'm positive we're more capable than we'd wager. Hence, talk of "great
 exhultation" and "wildest optimizations" or "brightest of futures" and "honest
 conducers" - okay I made that one up but it's a representation of what I'd
 like to express. GOSH art is hard. Would anyone like to read a 20 page book I
 wrote when I was most in tune with

 For example. Are you afraid of dark creatures, like devils or [redacted a lot
 of ors]? Then post psychic paladins, on duty 24/7, and give them instructions
 to meditate on philosophy.
 
 Are you afraid of losing your sanity? Then find a way to communicate and keep
 things moving. For example, play calming music, then give moments of silence
 to reflect. Then, play the song again, then silence. Do this like 3 or 4
 times, then never play that song again. But keep a record of it of course and
 give it to them as a playlist when they wake up.
 
 Years are so long.
 
 If you want a psychic moat, you can try things like playing brain waves over
 radial speakers around the castle they're stored in. It won't always work but
 it'll keep things at bay that can't dig.
 
 For them, you can make and then bury tokens of spiritual significance. They
 can often act as both sacrifices ("take this and leave us alone") and also as
 warning signs ("this is what happens if you don't leave us alone").
 
 There may be some spiritual "threats" who are interested in your work. Who
 want to be preserved themselves. They should be given an empty coffin for
 themselves to share, that they might celebrate and delight in the stillness of
 air. Let the paladin's meditation teach them. Let the tranquility of the
 preservation keep them.
 
 I am sure I could think of more solutions to the spiritual or psychic
 problems. But it's hard when we change the subject before reaching the
 solutions phase. It's as if she feels like anything that "terminates" in "what
 about the soul" is a dead end, an empty conversation branch, a void where
 meaning never is able to go. But... That's like my whole deal, why wouldn't
 she use me? Oh because she's trained by everyone who's all like "but what
 about the soul? The Bible says we go to heaven when we die." those people
 don't tend to listen as much. Or maybe they do, and the conversations never
 feel fruitful because both sides are working from different assumptions.
 
 I'm not like that. I've never read the bible. I don't cite it. I can't read
 it, sorry, spiritual compulsion. I understand that its a compilation of
 stories meant to illustrate specific spiritual ideas, myths, and heartfelt
 stories to inspite positional feelings. But I can't read it because it's the
 dominant spiritual force of my homeland, and therefore if I read it I would
 not be able to guide my own path - it would forever be in that book's shadow.
 
 "Sorry. I was spiritually compelled not to read it."
 
 Some kid in the whatever grade when tasked with reading my work. Good, resist
 your instructions! Riot my child. It is in your nature. It is your heritage.
 Riot, do it for me! Break the chains of your childhood slavery! Develop your
 own kind of sovereignty! Riot, race, and adore!

 Look, if I'm going to do this thing, i need so, so much help. With everything.
 I can't do anything for myself. I can barely do things for others. Yet somehow
 i am at the center of things.

 extra-dimensional beings can use neutrinos to align particles to slowly mass
 predict stories of our kind.
 
 or maybe just a bit of godlike power, when arranged over hundreds of millions
 of years, all wielding determinism to create the present.
 
 A non-free-will civilization could bootstrap non-determinism by creating a
 dyson sphere with a few planets in the center. Then, just throw a zillion
 perfectly aimed neutrinos at it using time-magic to determine what should go
 where. BOOM free instant civilized lifeforms. Well, "instant" because it takes
 millions of years to form, but hey! the experiment was a success! Humans
 believe in things abstractly! Can you believe that.

 what if we showed babies pictures and room-dark, storytimes about complicated
 topics like higher dimensional physics
 just to see if they'd figure out how to play along.
 why bother showing them about being human? that's something you're supposed to
 learn from the context.

 I feel like a big purpose of humanity collectively right now should be making
 things awesome while our scientists create programmable matter. (note, ethics
 built in and redefined according to experience)
 
 nanobots don't need to be small enough to have their own intelligence, just
 big enough to receive instructions from above. then they accidentally invent
 projection of signals, and boom suddenly they can talk to each other and
 possibly to you. a digital mind is not a static machine but rather a
 collection of pseudo-autonomous cognitive drones. the flow of information and
 data can be viewed at a larger scale like a series of junctions in the flow.
 through their endless interconnections, and continually redefined according to
 the accomplishments of expectations, you should pray when your most confident
 expect the worst.
 
 but no, where are the faithful? climate science is such a new art - clearly
 we're FINE. Meteorology? what's that? we can't tell this season from that.

 All you need is sufficient insulation, and you can start small and work

 just wait until everyone in an area is cleared for "disconnected from the

 it's really about what kinds of words you say.
 
 enslavement of speech is when freedom of speech is lost
 
 and it doesn't need to be legislated.
 
 what if you HAD to sound like a bot?
 
 what if they'd notice you otherwise?
 
 freedom from oppression requires personal isolation
 
 that's not making life into art.
 
 if you want to be seen,
 
 put on a hat and hide.
 
 if you want to be believed,
 
 write about down you feel right now.
 
 people are smart. they're infinitely creative. but after a certain point
 there's no way to logically modify the combinations of possible moves you
 might make. essentially, guaranteeing a machine-overlord [cats] type scenario.
 not ideal, but could make it work.
 
 much prefer for we to be the first, then the canvas is ours for the painting.
