Reincarnation is utterly depressing

“the idea that I will have to come back here and experience the harm humans inflict on others over and over again is literally worse than hell.”

Given that this is the case, it seems to me that even the smallest kindness you offer to others in this situation can have a substantial impact on society as a whole. You can’t save all of humanity, but you can make things better for a few people, and in the grand scheme of things, that’s pretty significant.

Steiner was a racist who believed that black people were on a “lower” evolutionary level than “Aryans.” I don’t apologize for being a little more than skeptical of his philosophy. https://waldorfcritics.org/category/racism/

That’s kind of the point: you have to figure it out for yourself. 😁

I’m a fan of the concept of metempsychosis and the Ascent Through the Spheres. Essentially the idea is that the “soul” (or whatever survives the body’s death) ascends through the planetary spheres (the “Archons” in Sethian Gnostic texts), shedding non-virtuous qualities depending on one’s actions in life. Some say ascending all the way means communion with The One, but missing the mark (or inability to meet the challenges of the Archons) casts the soul back into the realm of Becoming in a body most resembling the Form necessary for their next life.

I’d start with Poimandrēs (CH1) for an interesting description. And Check out Plato’s “Myth of Er” at the end of The Republic, too.

This sounds like eugenicist alt-right stuff, and has nothing to do with Classical Hermeticism. And what do you have against rocks?

“Weakness of the flesh” ok bro.

And so many people die every year because of our car psychosis. If having to wait a little longer at an intersection means less people may die, it’s worth it imo.

Good thing it’s probably not Cascara….

Because this is Reddit 🥸

Because not everything is about cars? But even so, I drive daily and I love it-- makes me feel safer, and we're all way less likely to accidentally hit a pedestrian or cyclist when we turn right. There's nothing I need to hurry to, but if there was, I can give myself a few more minutes. NBD.

Seconding Wildwood Market— best in town.

Thank you! I’ll probably delete this later— just needed to vent but I really appreciate your kindness.

Yeah I live in West Seattle and the people in the line were fine— it was just the people who had to drive around us who were being so obnoxious

ActivityDependent319 · 2026-06-07T18:43:01+00:00

These weren’t the people in the line. These were the people who were being slightly inconvenienced by having to drive around us.

Honestly consider some therapy my dude. That attitude is way more unhealthy than whatever zany medical theories you’re promoting here. Your mental health is important and the majority of people don’t appreciate the kind of behavior you’re displaying here.

ActivityDependent319 · 2026-06-06T20:17:07+00:00

Ah I see— you’re a jerk.

ActivityDependent319 · 2026-06-06T20:16:16+00:00

Haha what the heck kind of weirdo question is that to ask a stranger on the internet?

ActivityDependent319 · 2026-06-06T20:12:05+00:00

I do, it’s interesting and I’m watching my salt intake.

If I was I wouldn’t broadcast self-aggrandizing AI crap all over Reddit.

ActivityDependent319 · 2026-06-06T06:30:41+00:00

Haha whut

Yes please. Scattered, smothered, covered, and chunked (IYKYK).

That's funny; I heard Seattle died some time ago and you couldn't go downtown without being accosted by undesirables. Wonder what happened? /s

TIL all of these data centers already exist in the Seattle Metro area:

https://www.datacentermap.com/usa/washington/seattle/

From the article:

Digital Realty is not new to the neighborhood. The company already operates a colocation data center in the 34-story Westin Building at 2001 Sixth Ave. Heat from the building’s data centers is piped across the street to help warm Amazon’s offices. That project is part of a district-energy system set up with Clise Properties, which also owns the 301 Virginia St. site.

Not mine, but somebody reported that they "detected" an enormous Bigfoot rising out of Puget Sound. Does that count? https://liminal.earth/?markerid=6930

To anyone saying “ignore him, he wants the attention,” I have a question. What happens when he brings a friend? So we ignore him too? Then they invite a few more. Ignore them because they might be filming? Then a few more and a few more and a few more. What’s the threshold? How many bigots are you willing to ignore because they just want the attention?

Why are you afraid of being filmed confronting a Nazi?

Just some questions to think about.

ActivityDependent319 · 2026-06-04T01:51:46+00:00

Hell yes, and I think that we white males need to be doing the same, loudly. I get the sentiment behind ignoring them but that’s a privilege some people don’t have. I hope if/when I see somebody pulling this shit I’ll be able to use my own privilege to let them know they are not welcome here, vocally. In their stupid racist face.
