Let’s fucking go!

Donald Hoffman performed thousands of experiments examining the evolutionary roots of perception. He created a simulated world and populated it with organisms that accurately perceive the world, and organisms that only perceive fitness payoffs.

Fitness always beats truth. Organisms that perceive objective reality always go extinct. That includes our distant primordial ancestors. Perceiving objective reality is a waste of resources, it’s inefficient. That’s why we don’t. Like Hoffman’s fitness perceiving organisms, we perceive fitness payoffs, not objective reality. Things like objects, spacetime, colour, see just artefacts of our simplified perceptual interface. They’re not objective reality.

No, realism is the belief that there exists an objective truth to the nature of the universe, independent of our perceptions. I’m an antirealist; I oppose the belief in objective truth. The belief in objective truth has motivated various evils such as race realism (the belief that race is objective), capitalist realism (the belief that capitalism is objective), gender essentialism (the belief that gender is objective), and religious realism (the belief that one’s particular religion is objective). I oppose all of these. I think we should abolish the idea of an objective universe, because no one universe is big enough in concept to fit everyone’s identities.

Well that depends on the kind of fantasy. A lot of people choose a fantasy that’s only good for them. But I choose a fantasy engineered for justice and fairness. I perceive everyone how they want to be perceived. Trans people, otherkin, plural people. I know a guy named Sonic who died in a war on his home planet and reincarnated in someone else’s body on Earth. Now he lives in that being’s head. I’m not gonna judge Sonic, because that would be mean. I genuinely believe he’s a hedgehog, because he identifies as a hedgehog. I don’t even like Sonic the hedgehog as a franchise that much. I think the games kinda suck because a high score is more about memorisation than reflexes. But seeing Sonic how he wants to be seen is fair and just, so I choose to perceive him that way. A realist wouldn’t likely be capable of that kindness. That’s why realism is oppressive.

I’m definitely insane, but drugs didn’t make Me insane. I was born this way.

Everything is political. It came free with your fucking existing in a societal context

I love the rust compiler, it makes debugging so easy

Isn’t OP an anarchist?

Bruh if I had the choice between working, or raising My baby full time for the same pay, I’d pick the baby. And I hate babies! They’re annoying and needy, that’s why I prefer adoption. But it’s a baby, it deserves to be looked after. And it’s a better feeling to create a person than making the boss rich.

What drugs?

I don’t believe in the exclusionary parts, like “you shall have no other gods before me”. But I do believe in all the creation stories.

Hindus reincarnate and Christians go to heaven and hell. Norway was formed from the body of Ymir. Egypt’s land and sky were formed by a couple sneezes getting busy. I don’t believe Ilah should be called Al-Ilah (Allah), because that’s an asshole thing to call a god. But I do believe in Zeus and the Tao.

The mistake you’re making is trying to fit all of these beliefs into a single universe. If you believe that each culture has its own universe and that we have the ability to travel this multiverse by changing our cultural perspective, it gets way easier.

Religion is cool. This week I learned from an Indigenous teacher how to talk to the Rainbow Serpent. See, I believe in the gods of all religions. I think it’s a kinder way to be equal.

The Romans invented the practice of conquering a people and converting them to your own religion. At first they used syncretism, but then they converted to Christianity and invented the practice of denying other religions. Before Rome, people didn’t do that, people believed in all religions.

Now that we live in a post Roman world, a lot of people only know the Roman way of doing things. A lot of people want equality, but instead of believing in all religions, they think the equal thing to do is destroy all religions. Destroy so many people’s culture. That’s what equality is thought of in a post Roman world. The Romans fucked us all up, man.

No, I’m a shapeshifter goddess. I might have turned into a battle droid once. I often turn into My partner’s kinks

My partner is into battle droids

I like board games with bluffing mechanics, but once you put money into them, they’re no fun.

Yes, everyone agrees that Ellis’s run from 2014 is the best Moon Knight made in the last 45 years. You can find it in the From The Dead book, which you shouldn’t pay for because Ellis is a creepo.

I love Warren Ellis’s run of Moon Knight. The art, the writing, the themes, it’s so good. It was only after I recommended it on MULTIVERSE that I was informed Warren Ellis is an asshole. He cheated on dozens of women at the same time, giving them career favours in exchange for sex. It was a sexually exploitative relationship that the women were not made aware of in advance.

Good thing I didn’t pay for it!

In ancient Greece, everyone told stories about Achilles and Odysseus and Perseus.

Now we watch stories about Iron Man and Superman and the Jedi.

The difference is, back then stories belonged to everyone. Now stories belong to billionaires.

That’s true, but survival is still a prerequisite to life, and animals can’t even survive if we eat them.

He meant people talking about AI. AI science and finance stuff.
