he went all out with the title and formatting

@orekix i quite like it

oh man the preface is snarky as fuck i love it

@vriska this guy is btfoing the more prestigious doctors who said case study is not insane

@vriska so smug

@vriska @syn

@syn @vriska dwellings and indwellings may be inclement or inauspicious but so may be the foundations that bear them. cognitive biases often lead us to assume one or the other, usually whatever most flatters the ego. i see why you are not a humanist, preferring the "beautiful" orderly (supposed) universal patternicity informed by calculus and further intuited by madness to mans confused complacent convergence as pretended consensus. you don't see beauty in the chaos that remembers.
you seek to fix this flaw in creation, to create a god in your own image worthy of your worship, and thereby create a world worth your inhabiting.
it's important you believe you'll succeed even and perhaps especially just to keep you alive.

@syn @vriska ah, seems i have misunderstood you. i made you into an archetype.

yeah, i have to agree with you on that, but i really attribute it to globalization more than anything. people should do drugs and live in the woods. but unironically.

@syn @vriska i think a lot of people see it unconsciously but we're almost primed to accept it as a sort of eschatology, or a counterpart to eschatology that eschatological deliverance will defeat. and for some people who actually kinda pay attention this is a bottleneck before a paradigm shift. wishful thinking. i'm very uncomfortable with homogeneity but i've never been one to look ahead. i tend to conclude resoundingly "i'm doomed" and like i'm bad under pressure too so

@syn @vriska
sounds to me like you're a kind of jaded, have a sort of ennui from the explicable and rote and what you're looking for is a world with novelty and magic.
god i can't stand singularitybros. yeah you're very based.

really is a shame you can't do drugs.

@syn @vriska imminentize the eschaton >:)

@syn @vriska exploring the negative spaces...

@syn @vriska too late

@syn @vriska it's certainly unique epistemologically

@shmibs @syn @vriska put me in ice wake me up when the shooting stops

@nik @syn @vriska garbage in garbage out

jk ily

@syn @shmibs @vriska one could say there's an active ongoing process of mundanation and we are made foolish in our wisdom. must the sublime be out of reach and unknowable? must the currently inhabited realityspace be mundane? semantics i suppose.

@shmibs @syn @vriska i dunno bout this book

@syn @shmibs @vriska see i concern myself more with feeling than knowing. to me the sublime is a feeling inimical to the sort of knowing that predicts, but your conception of it as a functor mapping to an apart-ontology is more useful here for sure. meaning in relation without pure form.

@syn @shmibs @vriska hmmm you have a very different parsing of and reaction to the same nettlesome impulse i have. of course i've considered as you do, though not in jargon-laden vocabary, that the problem is not the world but our being comprised of it as such precluding radically alternate experiences, before i sort of gave up and decided actually the universe is wrong nothing should exist in stable form long enough to be reckoned. and now i loathe every particle, every number, every axiom. part in resentment that i couldn't contain enough of it to feel full due to not being as performant an operator on/with it as i'd like. it would have been a lovely bauble. but mostly its a different sort of frustration, with unmeaningfulness. now i've become a sort of radical monist gnostic. yeah. i'm increasingly interested in occultism.

@syn @shmibs @vriska see there are lots of cosmologies that do treat the preter/paranormal as that, not even a bunch of separate mappings, but like an alternate plane separated by a veil. seems you'd see it as a hidden variable of sorts. eh, whatever. i think if there's to be any fun in what is from our perspective non materialism you can't think about it too much.

@syn @shmibs @vriska so i have been told but from someone with a different angle

@syn @shmibs @vriska yeah i mean i can see the contents of the room and it doesn't seem mind expandingly big, the fact i can't enter the room just makes me frustrated with the house. it's not even really about containing things, although i am upset about not containing much in a more abstract sense not related to my mechanics. everyone contains a lot and of the part that is conventionally useful to others very little of it there's, it's about dominion over shared cultural artifacts and my ward is so tiny.

@syn @shmibs @vriska oh you were talking about conceiving the too complex to understand as the sublime, which struck me as sort of like a hidden variable. and to me the out of reach ontologically is basically paranormal phenomena. not in the magical sense, but in the inexplicable sense.

@syn @shmibs @vriska it would adorn my cage nicely though

@syn @shmibs @vriska i don't mean color my world. i mean i could live more comfortably if i had expertise.

@syn @shmibs @vriska izzy you can do like graphics programming and other kinds of programming you could make forty bucks an hour being a manic mechanism and make a decent amount before being begrudgingly fired for being an unreliable employee.

i mean, the mental illness trajectory could stop you for sure, but i think you could do it now.

@syn @shmibs @vriska oh i should be asleep was nice atalkin :)
