    Fair enough. It makes more sense if you are a reductionist, and you also deduce that matter coming into being makes no sense, and that it could probably happen the same way again.

    It also makes no sense that there would be nothing for an infinite amount of time, then the universe just pops into being one day, and we happen to be those lucky few that come to exist by sheer chance.

    It’s more likely that the universe just has boom and bust cycles. Over time, through sheer randomness, it comes into being again. I don’t believe there is anything so special about us that can’t be recreated by sheer randomness. If we are just patterns, any pattern that can happen, can happen again as well.

    So there we go. There are a lot of things that aren’t clear, like how specific does this pattern have to be (do we have to start with the exact same lives? Or will we be some alien snails with mild sentience).





  • Yes, the ordinary person is what enabled the world to be where it is. It does not even have to be the majority of people, just a few bad apples are enough.

    And we will always circle back to Dystopia, unless we straight up start implanting chips into people, modifying them genetically, or some other species takes over.

    Because I really don’t see how we are viable as we are. I’m not willing to advocate straight up negative eugenics either, so fuck it.

    EDIT: This is about health apparently, so I was coming from a place of we rot too easily, and have tons of flaws. Like I said, genetic modification, or some less miserable species replaces us.



  • What’s the use of living to 70 in this world? I recently hit 30, and I’m just looking around…none of this world is actually for me, I can’t do anything other than work. Society automatically hates me now by default, I can no longer do things like join the army or be a firefighter, and I can’t even spend this life to make someone else’s better.

    It didn’t have to be like this either, someone decided that some people should get proper schooling, healthcare, and a full life, and others should be gaslight into thinking whatever they do isn’t enough, and just exploited for labor until they die. And if they survive, society is like “congratulations! You can finally enjoy your life! Here’s all the free time you ever wanted…in your 60’s”. You get one last free trial of what a real life looks like, when you already burned out every dopamine having neuron you have, and you can’t even enjoy it anymore. THEN society decides to give you a break.

    Then we get those same old people in-charge, and we wonder why they are trying to kill us all.
