> Firstly without scarcity decisions just become infinitely more complex, they aren't eliminated
Thanks for proving you're a brainlet. If energy is infinite, we need not worry where to allocate it since we are sure that we won't run out of it no matter how hard we exploit it. Please note that post-scarcity is a theoretical construct, a post-scarcity society is literally impossible to imagine to a being that has become accustomed to a situation of ubiquitous scarcity.
>Secondly obviously markets or democracy aren't the only choices, I can "illegitimately" steal or pirate whatever I want
Stealing is not the part of the allocation process, it's the part of the redistribution process.
Still haven't refuted me since the crux of the argument consists in points 5), 6) and 7). You've conveniently shifted your focus to preceeding points which are not that important in the structure of my argument and are by my own admission underdeveloped, but then again they can be assumed away and the argument would be none the weaker.

I honestly have no idea what the fuck he's rambling on about in the first section and I must have reread the book 5 times already

i don't even know what people are talking about in those threads. I don't know what accelerationism is in the first place.

>tfw to stupid to learn other languages

there's like a billion new words and grammer rules to learn and if it's in another alphabet it's extra hard.

I tried to read Plato and couldn't understand any of it. There's no hope for a brainlet, is there?

>>13667549

I impulse bought it because House of Leaves did the forward and it looked interesting enough, but stopped after a couple chapters because I didn't understand what the fuck it was even about.

>start reading philosophy
>get bored and read fiction instead

It's not working for me.

>reading plato
>"I think [Socrates] made these things wonderfully clear to anyone of even small intelligence."
>mfw it wasn't clear to me

Is it time to give up studying philosophy?

Any books on how to deal with being a brainlet? Is there any serious hope in life if you are a brainlet? All the pleasures of philosophy and spirituality are basically denied to you if you're a brainlet.

>tfw to dumb to apply it to my life or get any practical advice out of it at all

I love Notes From Underground and Crime and Punishment and think they're some of the greatest fiction ever written, but I can't into any of his larger novels (The Idiot, The Brothers Karamazov, and The Possesed/Demons). Parts of them are great (how can I not into The Grand Inquisitor?), but overall they're fucking slogs. I've never been able to finish any of them, even trying through multiple translations.

>tfw don't know anything about anime and manga

I try googling "best anime and manga" but even I know I'm just given a bunch of normie shit. Is it even worth bothering getting into anime and manga? I've already mastered the great works of literature, music, and film & tv. I feel like I'm missing out by not being into anime and manga.

>tfw can't into late Ligotti

They just seem more silly than scary and I don't understand the stories. I like his earlier work in the OP book better.
