first they took the money

then they took the memes

when are we gonna stand up for our rights

say "aye" if you would volunteer in a war to defend the memes

We must seize the Memes of production

The ends, justify the Memes

I was serious,though, about existentialism being a problem. It's led plenty of people to nihilism.

denying reality doesn't make it go away

Intelligence, at a certain point, becomes a burden.

ignorance is bliss was a term coined by someone burden with knowledge

why do you think people are so angry these days? politics have infested much more than they have had to deal with before, and it reminds them how shitty the world is and its hard to find happiness for a lot of people, so they get pissed and want to attack it until it goes away

Kind of, yeah.

I wasn't political until it worked it's way into my life

i think that goes for most people

and i'm willing to bet, the rise of the internet and social media made that happen.

the world is not just some strange place rumored to exist.

But also, for one example, if somebody wrongs you,what do you generally do?

you can see it now in real time, you might now have friends who you have come to like who are from those bad places

and now you realize just how powerless you are to help people not directly next to you, which were the only people you knew before.

so you get angry. and go after the people who you think can help.

and force yourself onto those who previously didn't even know about you. and you put misplaced anger on them, blaming them for not helping

and they get angry at you, for being angry at them for not helping a person they care not about

Generally, you become vindictive against them. But if you see the line of reasoning that led them to wrong you,and understand why they did it, you may find that you want to be vindictive toward them

and now you have a ball of angry people yelling at one another

But also not be able to square that away

Maybe they did what you would've

You start questioning shit like that when you really get into it

Uneasiness with any choice that matters, constant second guessing... Not missing a single slight

That's the great benefit that comes with high IQ. any question why it leads to neurosis?

neurosis, the future of mankind! and what a future it is, right?

Oh yes!

I believe the followers of Chaos preach something like Sanity being for the weak anyway

Well, I mean

It's part of the reason eugenics is wrong. the traits nature selects for are ever-changing

And in the end, come natural cataclysm, it's nature that decides who lives and who dies.

Right now in this epoch it's intellect

If we fall to a dark age again, intellect would have to work with strength to rebuild

well, Eugenics is sorting out the "best" genes

its not about highest IQ

athletes would be highly praised in a eugenics society too

the problem with the term best is the fact you need to define worst, and those are subjective, changing with the wind and who you talk to.

Right
