Something terrifying happens when you let your lower emotions pass like clouds—you begin to notice your power.

Wake up in the morning and walk outside in silence without your phone

Do it again before going to sleep

[🗽 @verritass]

Music is hypnosis. You want to “bang hoes” cause your favourite rapper talks about it. You want to stack bread cause Gucci mane said so. The bass line acts similar to a theta wave which puts your mind in a more suggestive state to absorb this slop. Your wants aren’t even yours. Thousands of lyrics that you know word for word, tone by tone about being depressed, anxious, taking drugs, toxic relationships, casual sex, shooting people, finessing, Puppeteering your life and dragging you deeper into spirit rot, deeper into being w destructive force if life. Go listen to Bob Sinclair - World Hold on and stop consuming soulless slop.

I keep on revisiting this. You might not realize the depth of what he said. In urdu poetry, there is a concept where poets view God as a lonely being, so lonely that He created free willed humans for company. Loneliness is a Godly trait & whoever enters its realm meets God there

Or just become friends with it, doesn’t need to go that far

The point is learn to accept it

Post-labor economics

[e ❦ @whimpermanence]

how do i survive as someone who doesn’t believe in hard work, is ugly to most people, unconcered with societal ideals of success. thinks life should be easy and fun, and is lazy. genuinely

[Will Manidis @WillManidis]

we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen

[Laura Matsue @lauramatsue]

I think the new trend will be disappearing into a life of offline solitude, rather than oversharing your entire life in a desire to be a famous influencer

[dmoon @dmoonlives]

Society has demonized male sexuality so much that most men would rather sit alone in dark rooms staring at screens than deal with women irl

[Diego Dallas @riverdalenoble]

Correct

[DRYDEN @drydenwtbrown]

The public has a suspicion that they are being oversold on AI’s capabilities, because there is an apparent incentive to oversell to raise money — as often happens in Silicon Valley

AI is different

The labs are ruled by the ethic of the EA nerd, who demands the soft sell

As a consequence, the public has been undersold on capabilities and is unprepared for what’s coming

Symbols are the essence of myths, forming expressions of truth, representative of destiny

[Diego Dallas @riverdalenoble]

Systems theory (and history) demonstrates that technological progress is directly correlated with more abundant economies and lower marginal costs; if the teleological justification for the impending AGI/ASI moment is post-scarcity as an economic outcome, the panentheist rationale is that current technological capacity is the only objective benchmark that humans can use as a guide for organizing societies

Panentheism reveals that post-scarcity is the inevitable outcome when physics operates according to its own fundamental nature over sufficient time

Systems cannot withstand any meaningful teleological rationale without first internalizing its inputs/outputs; maximal human freedom and abundance is downstream of resource allocation, which is downstream of technological capacity; proceeding with any other first principle creates a power struggle

Without a coherent, secular organizing principle for curating societies with maximum human freedom via economic surplus, we inversely create the conditions for the widest, most brutal class divide in recorded human history; denying that technology, a natural manifestation of the Creator's omniscient brilliance, is capable of liberating humanity from its drudgery and existential fatigue, is how technofascism becomes reality

We made it all up. All of it. Money, bills, capitalism, war, laws, the 5-day workweek, 3 meals a day, school, traditions, housing costs, food insecurity. Almost everything we say is “just the way it’s done” is something humans created, and it is important to remember that.

[Day @Daywrotethis]

Every institution on this planet makes money when your love dies. Think about it. Divorce lawyers. Therapists. Dating apps. Pharmaceutical companies selling antidepressants to women who used to shake when their man walked in the room. Love is not dying naturally. It is being harvested. There is an economy built on the corpse of your intimacy.

[Diego Dallas @riverdalenoble]

The wisdom derived from the fundamental incompatibility between Western and Eastern consciousness is the closest either philosophy comes to truth

The hero, infatuated by the mythology of his calling, continues expanding the magnitude of his destiny on the order of infinite future potentialities; he continues to expand outward through conquest, as the monk continues expanding inwards through meditation

Power, glory, and destiny only matter until the diametric opposite of its expression becomes aware, but on the same condition, humility, peace, and gnosis remain equally irrelevant

The story of your life you’ve created in your mind, led by the character you choose to be, is only as extraordinary or monotonous as you want it to be

All things return to stardust, including magic and glory, and not even the most spellbinding inflection points of your greatness, irrespective of its perceived legitimacy, will quietly escape its own shadow of evanesce

You are everything

And you are nothing
