The thesis that capitalism is artificial intelligence was, is, and will be Nick’s fundamental theoretical contribution. He is correct about this and it is in this precise sense that I am a Landian.

@DissidentClint @AmericaAeterna Your identity and awareness of self do not “remain constant through the physical changes” that sufficiently suppress the default mode network in your material brain. This can be demonstrated firsthand through the predictable effects of well‑known material substances.

[alt @bextbest]

Do Alzheimer's patients have souls? Are they conscious? We can actually dissolve into a formless identity with the dissolution of the physical. Should you be making confident assertions about the material world when they depend on unsubstantiated and unfalsifiable assumptions about the immaterial? Especially on questions as consequential and unresolved as consciousness?

[Daniel Faggella @danfaggella]

it's not just consciousness, man

it never has been

i appreciate you engaging frnakly and respectfully, and I realize articles are a bit much sometimes - but just to be clear https://t.co/WwKnPW6xA0

i advocate for the great EXPANSIVE living process to flourish - in sentience, but also in self-creation / new powers / new experinece / new access to nature

this thrival of the ENTIRE process is what allows humans to exist, but it is not statis, it has bubbled UP to humans and continues to bubble. thrival requires change - so defining a positive change seems necessary

"make the machines into a utility monster / kill off pp" = NOT my take

"ensure that the expanse of ALL potentia and life unravels VASTLY beyond present forms, keeping life and value alive as much as possible" = my take https://t.co/6nfs59Sp3S

LMK if I can clarify anything. The articels will help but agina I know ppl don't like leaving twitter and that's understandable

[𝖦𝗋𝗂𝗆𝖾𝗌 ⏳ @Grimezsz]

Landian philosophy has reigned for so long because he's actually just one of the best living poets. Now that the pope is an equally good poet suddenly the cold god feels less inevitable. The power of art is very evident in this battle

We probably shouldn't have defunded so much art and told everyone it's a waste to study humanities

@sabatonfan69 @DJSparklePony I find this picture/ story suspect, however, I endorse your usage.
My blessing is coveted.
Cherish it.

@TheNextMazer Can’t wait until everyone is over this right wing apologia bullshit. The dumbest ideas in history are masquerading as some intellectual nuanced answer to some bogeyman called woke that everyone blames every social ill for. It’s so transparent and dumb. All vibes, no substance.

@Orwelian84 @8teAPi we're not great at making toasters follow orders, track record seems to be that most toasters are shameless liars

@LLBiggers The beef industry and factory farming actually does use a lot of water though, those claims are true! But I don’t see any of these ppl who are so vocally against AI going vegan bc they actually care so much about water. 😒

@bilbosfootcomb @the_lord_norman In your worldview, would terminating a pregnancy before a fetus develops the capacity to suffer or commit sin remove the possibility that the fetus could later fail at the peril of its own soul?

Oppressed people using violence as a means of liberation is a central theme in this series. Defensive violence isn’t revenge, recognizing that distinction is not propaganda. It’s very easy to oppose one without opposing the other, which this show explicitly does.

Also opposition to revenge predates Christian traditions. Nonviolence (ahimsa) is a core principle in Buddhist teachings which is pulled from in several parts of the narrative.

The fact that there are people who can watch that entire film and not clearly see Rocky as Grace’s equal astounds me.
