With creators (be it artist, philosophers or other) it's just more apparent since they leave part of themselves in their own creation.

Coping is not necessarily a bad thing.

I know, it's tongue and cheek. I'm probably the biggest defender of that tradition here.

depends on what you are doing it for

if you are changing their sex

no

but otherwise perhaps

Unless it's for removal of hereditary diseases people should not play God, especially with their own children.

Nothing wrong with higher intelligence and whatnot

it seems to me like either everything is permitted or none of it is

Can i get some thoughts on Curtis Yarvins "clear pill"?

i guess not

haven't read it in depth enough to give any solid opinion

well i have many questions about it but there were some truths in there

as of right now i have only read part 1

i am wondering where this is going

he seems to advocate apoliticism

why would he do that?

I think I read it but I cant remember what it was about? That's part of his new stuff right? Are the other parts already released?

i only saw part 1 and 2

yes its new

Fuck this wasn't to long ago I don't remember anything.

he talks about the stories we tell ourselves about us and how they can stabilize a political regime

and he says he will nuke your current understanding of politics

ill be the judge of that after reading the other parts

Oh yeah two story state and so on I remember some of that.

Like china and north korea are a one story state because eveyone has to believe in the party doctrine. The west is a two story state (or three) trapping you into a false dichotomy

well more or less, yeah

im not sure how accurate it is

I think I will read part 2 later I didn't know it was already out.

i guess we are outside of the overton bubble and threaten the whole regime unless they can brand us as na zis and have those be an indicator for evil person, which makes people dismiss us along with our true ideas. and they are doing that. but if we can break through those surface level insults then we are a legitimate danger to the regime

it came out in november

i will read it later today i guess

So we are the third story.

That no one is supposed to listen to maybe.

what i just wrote there, and what yarvin wrote in that regard, are not new ideas though. my mind has not been blown yet

we knew for a long time we are outside the overton window

and that our ideas are true and will win in a free market of ideas so have to be repressed by the regime which is threatened by them

@Fighting Gold its not much different from his original work. i think he is sort of reiterating his 8 year old blog for a new audience
