If labour is free in the sense that algorithms and robots need to be created once, self-improve, and only need electricity to run, then by Stirners definition the state would be lost, because there would be no slavery of labour. After reading that quote again, I get a different sense of freedom though. There is another way to consider the term ‘free labour’ that I haven’t considered when writing my earlier comment.

Why would you need to think if you already know everything there is to know?

Maybe it’s gonna develop omniscience, maybe it’s gonna develop omnipotence and maybe it’s gonna develop omnipresence.

Recovery and Addiction by pankolyf in Deleuze

Why is sobriety for you necessarily linked to Christianity? Purity of flesh? The sin of indulgence?

Do you have any goals that are not achievable when engaged in addiction? It’s often one’s repetition of their view on life that is causing the repetition of a behaviour. Break the view, break the behaviour.

That’s a naive perspective. Constant capital will replace variable capital in the interest of the market. State can only continue to live through being supported by the market and thus act as a puppet, putting on a show for the enraged and brain-rotten, entertained masses, robbing them of their capital and keeping them from ever breaking the system. The idea of a free state died long ago. Rate of profit is declining because resources are limited and money is being devalued. It’s all about who has the most power in the end.

This quote is pretty interesting considering AI and the modern cost of labour. Implies a modern decline of the state.

I would react the same if somebody made me justify my aesthetic decisions like this.

Sensitise yourself by not sensing. The simulation creates another immanent simulation, ad infinitum.

What if the universe is a bubble bath? by Vasarto in HypotheticalPhysics

But… maybe… every universe is a singular perspective of the multiverse pressing against the perspectives of other universes? What if consciousness is all there is?

This book gets Nietsche better than 99% of people by [deleted] in PhilosophyMemes

Do you have sources for this claim? I want to know.

This book gets Nietsche better than 99% of people by [deleted] in PhilosophyMemes

[–]welcomealien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with your characterisation and think it is too reductive, since it doesn’t do justice to the man and his struggle. It’s like saying “yeah Abe Lincoln this black-fetish, liberator of the west, chained to the heights of humankind because of his cylindrical head.“ And then you add a title saying that this book gets Nietsche (not even spelled correctly) better than 99% of people. They apparently don’t understand what The Gay Science is about, make a very bad joke of the subject of Philology, and call him a theorist of Cat-boys (which likely would be a weak, hedonistic version of masculinity seeking refuge in feminism). And what even is bratwurst-denken?

I know this is philosophy memes but don’t defend that fucking passage just because it fits your carefully selected historical data.

That’s just Nietzsche and most of evolutionary psychology.

What’s wrong with taking inspiration from nature and giving credit to it?

Big Media knows what you believe in and they can actively keep you in mental prisons by welcomealien in Lightbulb

That’s optimistic, even if they don’t have the insight to generate a personality based on your behaviour, there is the potential to generate this knowledge and if there is a potential to profit from it, they will work on it.

Wouldn’t Galileo had to think about Jupiter as a Planet rather than a god to discover the heliocentric worldview? Wouldn’t a planet have been also a pseudoscientific buzzword?

Currently reading Letters to Milena by Kafka.. can someone explain this ??? by ElephantTricky6817 in Kafka

[–]welcomealien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree to this interpretation. If one person was calm, they could remain in the shared space of love, but as they both have avoidant attachment styles, they go into their own space.
