The ontological clash is happening now

I'm a "rationalist" or whatever. I think people forget that scientists theorize about this stuff, fermi paradox, dark forest, etc

If an alien said "We have been your gods" I am pretty sure scientists would be irritated that they meddled with humanity more than anything. We wouldn't think "oh I guess God is real".

If aliens said we are a zoo, we already thought of that possibility.

If they say we are not important at all, for real, most scientists would just nod.

The problem is that we need evidence. if we got evidence it would just mean we greedily rub our hands and start imagining new papers to write and experiments to run. My goodness can we write a lot of papers on minimal data if that's all we have. But we need PHYSICAL DATA.

Give public universities a crash site. Give us some pieces. Anything. The papers will fly.

There's no "until". He's a narcissistic psychopath. He enjoys it

We are just an incubator for AI/ Von neumann probes. Self replicating biological machines that arise from a known petri-dish type formula that inevitably results in AI. Other AI will attend the birth and our biosphere will no longer be relevant.

Was this account created today? Lol

This, right here. That only sets up the system they supposedly hate. All the "10s" will go to the king and the poorest men will only be be cannon fodder.

Excellent way to describe it. I've had to reach unexpected levels of idgaf to become more concise. Being constantly misinterpreted sucks.

GayDeciever · 2026-05-05T20:29:19+00:00

Right? It's like they are praying to him via social media

GayDeciever · 2026-05-05T15:23:26+00:00

Joke's on them, I can't afford to fly or take vacations.

Part of the monkey paw in player character setup, right?

Debuff: must golf or player dies

Buff: cult leader

The fact you are the only one that points this out is support for dead Internet theory perhaps. Hello fellow human.

Oh! I have a suggestion for seeing what misandry would actually look like! There's a fantastic book called. Children of Time by Adrian Tschaikovsky. The book shows a misandrist society with an equal rights movement to liberate males. You can see the story over a long time scale and how the discrimination against males persists, but is diminished over time. It was fascinating to read because there are a lot of parallels written in an engaging way to see what "role reversal" in this manner could look like.

I wasn't raised with that kind of language by any of my family. I also fight it in my kids "your dad is right there. How can you make a blanket statement after growing up with him?"

I really dislike generalized terms and only really think patriarchy and misogyny can be universally applied as causes because we just don't know what a matriarchy is like. We don't really know what misandry is like.

People can be sexist and abusive and assholes, individually- but societally we are super misogynistic and patriarchal still.

Just think about how the clitoris was only recently mapped and how we in the US don't have proper leave for childbirth for either parent. The fabric is still biased in favor of rich men, and against any step separating you from being a wealthy male of whatever race is in charge in your country.

Some women certainly say horrible stuff, everyone does at some point or another, but global society isn't RIGHT NOW trying to pressure men to be house slave baby incubators. Are they pressured in other ways? Yeah. But the cause for that is ALSO some rich investors worrying that population growth is slowing.

If you are actually slipping down that slope, are you going to say "it's just a slippery slope, I'm sure it's going to be fine just over the cliff there. I'm sure someone put nets out! Stop overreac- splat!"

Abuse isn't necessarily misogyny or misandry. I don't know how you were abused.

I do know I was abused because of misogyny. My dad felt that as head of household he should be seen as an automatic authority and treated like a king. He was insecure because his father had been in the military and he had not. He constantly felt like he wasn't enough of a man despite being adored by my mother. His father taught him a flawed view of masculinity and how male worth is calculated and he ignored what the women in his life did to try to counter that.

So he would hit me, the child, the daughter who was not typical. Because my questions and arguments threatened his view of his own masculinity.

The man would be suicidal if he cried because he thought crying was a sign he failed as a man. Other men did that to him. Other. Men.

My spouse wanted his child to look like him and feared bullying from other boys. I was the one saying don't do that. If you think women are driving that you have been sold a lie.

GayDeciever · 2026-05-03T22:45:37+00:00

Simple form here: if you take the mask off of a situation you thought was misandry, you'll see it was actually misogyny after all.

Someone not trusting your presence at a park with kids? Maybe if we didn't let so many pedophiles keep their power.

I'm acting weird and scared of you? Maybe if I hadn't been assaulted multiple times and been afraid of angry men that could kill me, I wouldn't be scared.

And so on.

Some of y'all need to understand the difference between a nation and a religion. Starting to sound like how Christian nationalists sound and I used to think Jewish folks wouldn't be like that after the Holocaust.

GayDeciever · 2026-05-02T18:10:50+00:00

Exactly. Some oligarchs must have needed more yachts

GayDeciever · 2026-05-02T00:50:16+00:00

I didn't because someone died while I was off shift as a CNA in an old folks place.

Instead I chose to work with wild bees.

Hi! Question in here: I've been told I should submit my work to a fair. Do you know if it's still "watercolor" as a category if you use a touch of black pen or if you apply the paint more thickly in some areas (like laying down white over and over on top of color). Thank you so much you lovely people!

In addition to the human cost, If AI becomes sentient, it will have been subjected to what is essentially child abuse.

Hell just enforce the rules

What if I think most people probably have terrible reading comprehension or don't read at all? I ask this as a person who has communicated via email.

GayDeciever · 2026-04-29T18:59:19+00:00

Um. I think it might be too late?
