I think I'm leaving Fedi forever. I'm tired of paranoid schizophrenia 24/7. This place fucking blows and I'm only ever here out of habit.

I... Uh... Well shit.

We're latemaxxxing today boys

@VIPPER @adachi I am on Discord to make the eating disorders of teenage girls 10x worse

@VIPPER @adachi This

@lain @Cyrillic I'm LARPing as British Israel now so Yahweh is my White dad. I love my dad.

@Cyrillic @lain Gnostics never beating the simp allegations

I hate foids

I had fridge magnets made

@ArdainianRight You care way too much about Indians homie. The swastika is also in East Asia and it's been found in American archeology. It's a universal symbol.

Hindi also descends from a European language. Should we stop using European languages? 😭

@lain The world is exactly 80 years old. History chuds are LARPing

@hidden The copy I have RN is Cleary's (part of his 4 volume set) Idk if he's good bc I never got into his Buddhist translations either and I don't know any Chinese. He seems to be one of the main guys who translated classic Chinese philosophy tho so I'd like to think he's competent.

@hidden I've seen you bring this up before. Doesn't Lao Tzu predate Confucius?

@hidden Yet they don't seem to share the same emphasis on primitivism.

I have another question about the primitivism, actually. Is the use of tools; say something like a screwdriver, a departure from the Dao?

That seems a bit simplistic but I have a reason for asking.

@hidden In the Books of Genesis, Enoch, and Jubilees, you have a very similar primitivist idea. Humanity begins with a lifespan of a thousand years, but the more artificial they become, the shorter their lives become.

What shortens your life, causes dissatisfaction, and further depart you from Eden are things like tools, make-up, towns, and magical rituals.

The solution in this tradition isn't to abstain from these things, though. It's the perfection of them. The first town is founded by murder, the first kingdom is founded by war, but the way to perfect this, in the Abrahamics, isn't to put the genie in the bottle, it's to perfect the structure. One would expect in the Christian eschaton, there would be factories, computers, and art, but without the poisonous elements of those things (some medievals more or less abandon the idea of physical Resurrection but that's not faithful to what came before)

@lain It was a bad conversation, Woit wasn't doing a very good job at explaining the problem either. I was getting Grandpa Simpson vibes at points.

@ChristiJunior @realcaseyrollins @Rasterman @lethn @irie Fedi's resilience is mostly theoretical. Most of the time when someone's home instance shuts down they don't come back. All the big instances on our side of Fedi from like, 2021 and 2022 are dead (except Poast) and those people didn't come back.

It technically can't be shut down easily but if no one has a backup plan on a 2nd instance then the communities can disappear quickly.
