You better start believing in accelerationist societies... you're in one.

I really enjoyed reading this. It made me think of how one should try to embrace its regional culture and project that into their craft - whatever it may be. I disagree that trying to aquire some kind of universal knowledge is a bad thing, but if you only pay attention to that instead of the particularities around your personal point of view, you'll be mediocre at best.

What if you live in an illiterate town in the middle of Brazil, where people only care about listening to loud music and fucking?

We're living in hell regardless of civilization, nature isn't any better. Nature is the lower level of simulation upon which our simulations are built. Or higher level, depending on how you look at it.

So why don’t you? It’s quite clear from the outset that you’ve made up your mind, one might even suspect that this entire thread is a thinly veiled excuse to start an argument about materialism vs metaphysics. You’re not trying to do that, right anon? It would be an act of extremely bad faith...

The soul will be perpetually reincarnated until it becomes enlightened anyway, and most people are doomed to breed because they're animalistic and don't have much individuality or free will. Whoever is meant to breed will breed and whoever is meant to be born will be born. In a purely materialistic worldview there's neither a way to stop life from arising once more nor a real justification for ethics in the first place, so the discussion is pointless. Do or do not, you will regret both.

Oldfag here. Sounds like where my head was at when I was a teenager. Not all that bad a place to start from, but now you are gonna have to be working on that first step, creating your philosophy... What you have written out is the tabula rasa (if you'll forgive the expression), now you need to get to work. After getting about 20 or 30 years of life experience under your belt you might start to see something good, at least that is what happened to me.

Bathroom is not an emergency. Incontinence is not an emergency. Do they need to be micro potty managed?
