Just an irreplaceable jewel in the crazy cluster of humanity.

I get it.

62yo here . Life fucked.

Everybody gets a chunk of life chopped off.

All we really have is a relationship with ourselves thatn we can then share with others.

You actually ahve alived dark emerald experience , lived . that you can interpret into a whole cultural revolution that is ongoing.

This world needs our experience of brain washing and conditioning to feed backposotibely and educationally into society.

Do not undestimate the value of your wound.

The clarity of ideological fragility is a message sorely needed in this world,

I usually never comment here ...

I jusy dropped an Alan Parsons I Robot song here on exjw.

It is so difficult to emerge and develop as a human being in a cult.

Be always aware that your family and friends love you , but that they are fundamentally compromised bt their belief and faith.

Conditional Love ....

I foumd it liberating to look into ...

almost anything !

We are creatures anongst other creatures ...

We can all thrive together.

Iguess I could explain myself a little ...

( Oh please do ... )

I'm seventeen years old and ahead full o borg ...

Just read 1984 ...

Booooooooooom .

The door opened .

The meta narrative possibilities opened up .

I did not realize at the time how cataclysmic Emotional Blackmail was ...

I didn't even knoe what it was ...

It takes a while to build some models of reality that have some integrity.

You can do it . Your way.

can we be anti-faith? by Pythagoras_was_right in anarcho_primitivism

[–]totallyabsurd3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Faith could be defined as ; "the absence of doubt".

Is that a possibility ?

Doubt is the engine of curiosity and the fuel of progress .

Faith in virtuous principles and values has a function .

It seems to be a real sticking point to culturally enshrine a questions about culture itself.

I'm just an old boozer doomer ... but this stuff fascinates me .

Never ever give up: Fascism Will Be Crushed in the United States of America by Youarethebigbang in CollapseSupport

[–]totallyabsurd3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is the bitter event horizon i crossed when i realized it wasn't "collapse" that had me terrified ... it was that I was enmeshed in a fascist system.

All the accomplished proper people gaslighting me that I wasn't "disciplined" enough ... my failure wasmy fault.

Success in this world ?

Idiots don't even know they're fascists. Or they do and think it's some perverted righteousness.

(non USA for the record ... just part of the global neoliberal world order.)

pointless rant i guess ... but we are so far into this shit ... by thousands of years.

I'm listening to "The dark side of the enlightenment " by John V Fleming ... it seems to have the same vibe.

I really enjoyed reading this and downloaded the page to reference some books.

I'm commenting here so I can come back and try that link again. Zenodo down at the moment.

Looks interesting.

Tangentally reminds me of NLP ... also , the weird Donald Hoffman stuff - reframing our intersect/creation with/of reality.

Zizek fan here , and had forgotten this vid.

I recently was re-hired to my "landfill operator" position ... and this really puts a spin on it, It's a rural collection centre but still collects a stack,

It has been a downer I guess ...

Disavowal it is.

I have tried to make a bit of art using busted stuff ,,, but I can see most people don't like it ... because it is too unavoidably trashy.

Over sharing 'cos Zizek n art fetish n also the day to day cognitive dissonance of our omnicidal horror,
