Ten babysouls gains you access to the level 1 immortal hivemind where you psychically merge and get to live forever. But that’s only level 1. Level 2 has a higher price. Etc.

If I told you that sex, blood, flesh, of children, extended lifespan and rejuvenated the elderly - and there was a club where billionaires did that - what then?

Out of touch? Oh no. And here I thought we merely disagreed or something.

There is this river of sensations and there is also this body of knowledge. They are 2 different things.

There is this common desire to hold a body of knowledge that is without contradiction, with itself or any sensation. Airtight.

Such a body of knowledge is useful, efficient.

I think Miracle Whip is a petroleum byproduct + air.

Lucky that it rhymes in translation.

The verse from Shevchenko’s My Testament read, “Oh bury me, then rise ye up / And break your heavy chains / And water with the tyrants’ blood / The freedom you have gained,” OVD-Info said.

It’s true

Emotion comes first, justification second. For basically everybody.

Hey I like unsong too.

Are you familiar with Sam Hughes ( qntm.org)?

His " there is no antimimetics division" is vibeally relevant here.

As is his many scifi stories about the nature of reality and such.

I recommend it.

A shared experience constitutes good evidence. But the experience might involve a special technique for getting the experience. So if you don’t do the technique then you don’t get the evidence.

The technique might involve serious time and effort. So most of us will never do it.

So now we have 2 sets of people, those who did the technique and those who didn’t, with different evidence in hand, arriving at different conclusions.

Also 90%…

Actually it depends on who’s looking at it.

For most of us it’s all about the idea associated with the art. What it means, the backstory, the explanatory essay pinned to the wall next to the painting etc.

For some of us (mostly artists) it’s all about the experience of the art itself.

Because artists see differently from normal people.

If you like it you like it. Backstory is irrelevant.

You and me both.

I guess both could be distractions, from each other. Splitting our attention. Keep us off balance.

We’re helping them be free but it’s actually for the oil and now a bunch of my friends are going to get killed and messed up.

Didn’t we already do this a few years ago?

It’s like some kind of low hanging fruit party in here.

What’s a commonly held belief here on lemmy that you disagree with?

But cereral first is only sane and moral. We can’t have a floating mound. And that’s to say nothing of volumetric concerns.

It’s true!

I suspect that the wealthy people (invisible, omnipotent) hate me as much as I hate a peanut butter sandwich. Then they try to eat me.
