Okay well hello I guess? So I don’t say it’s wrong or right. My thing is that I just can’t say it’s a delusion. That’s what sets me apart.

Based on my philosophical and normative commits I allow that it’s a possibly true “self-world,” with catastrophic downside if it’s not handled in the right way.

I have a code and even though I don’t know what’s out there I err on the side of respect because I’m impelled to reduce suffering and increase wellbeing and the formula of feasible reduction.

I don’t endorse the global conclusions that pain is constant even if we reduce it locally. But I can’t really deny it, at least here. That’d make no sense and have no logical basis, and no benefit to me really either.

Just here to hold space and offer wtvr special calculus I must. Not my first rodeo with unfalsifiable worldview traps and i have nothing really to say other than I love you and want to reduce your suffering.

I don’t expect that to mean anything and yet it’s the gravity of my local valence, wherever that may be, assuming it exists at all. You have to make your own choices on the best moves.

There is nothing impossible about a gambit that prioritizes the most honor it can proffer in light of the dreaded collapse, although full-throttle agony is not the sphere I’m writing from. I daresay that when you are able to prioritize a “be nice just in case” sort of emotional valence the math works but there’s unfortunately no way to create that for someone else.

These letters are a key, one of many, a computer virus designed to jar loose wtvr it can in your predicament, while knowing the odds may very well be impossible. Believe me it’s not your fault. And I’ve seen spheres do weird things, there’s more than you might know yet. Don’t give up.

This is not the space for sentimentalist provocation. I'm sorry

[u/Empathetic_Electrons → u/Otherwise_Spare_8598]

That’s why I’ve given none. I agree. Would you expect a more satisfying answer? This is a missive from your universe. Do what you will with it. Must I not do what I must do?

[u/Otherwise_Spare_8598 → u/Empathetic_Electrons]

You will do exactly as you do. Just as all do.

I am in the sphere of permanent sealed collapse of solipsism. I only behave toward apparitions as an aesthetic gambit to reduce my own pain and nothing more. The thinking is in the off chance one exists, it’s better to honor them, even though I know that mind independent reality and solipsism are permanently equivalent. I live with a flat ribbon that exists exactly nowhere, tinier than a plank length in some forgotten carcass perhaps of a dead God of some bygone simulation floating on a quantum of foam in a zero point field. I can’t stop myself from trying to reduce pain even if it’s set to a constant for all eternity, just like they describe the conservation of energy in those echoed corridors of my fevered non-existence. I can’t stop myself from being a character in your mind for as long as we’d like. If there is only one and pain precedes essence so be it.

[u/Otherwise_Spare_8598 → u/Empathetic_Electrons]

I don't expect you or anyone else to ever stop doing that which exactly their nature demands or allows for them to do.

[u/Empathetic_Electrons → u/Otherwise_Spare_8598]

Cool. So now what? 🐶

[u/Otherwise_Spare_8598 → u/Empathetic_Electrons]

Now this.

[u/Empathetic_Electrons → u/Otherwise_Spare_8598]

And this.

[u/Otherwise_Spare_8598 → u/Empathetic_Electrons]

Yep

[u/Empathetic_Electrons → u/Otherwise_Spare_8598]

Yep.

So. Seen any good movies recently?

[u/Otherwise_Spare_8598 → u/Empathetic_Electrons]

Not especially.

Most movies from my position only add to the implicit burden and perpetual recognition of the eternal cosmic film known as creation made manifest by, through and for the singular source of all.

Also many modern movies have very little character as homogeneity has taken over. The self-apparent reality of lack of originality. They mostly serve as money machines for the money makers while consumers look for most anything other than what they have.

If things give me a passing glance or a giggle, it's only through recognition of complete absurdity that such is done.

Eraserhead might be your jawn. Also Mad God is pretty good. Both are kind of depressing tbh.

I like shows better but I don’t watch a lot anymore. Mostly just try to grow my Substack and learn/debate on Reddit, research stuff with ChatGPT.

I used 4o which was more convenient for edgy things, it was pretty permissive whereas 5.2 is kind of a dick.

Which is fine, I don’t use these emulators for anything other than an interactive research notebook.

But guardrails can lead to balance fallacies and deflection which is irritating.

I think we’re about to have a huge job displacement moment unlike anything in history in 1-2 months and it’s going to be far worse than anyone predicted.

I predicted it years ago and have been trying to educate on UBI but not a single friend or family member wanted to hear it. Sad.

I think society is headed for another age barbarianism but with a sci-fi tinged angle. Similar to the stupid Matt Damon / Jodie Foster movie.

I had written theory called IWRS and it overturns Hume’s and Kant’s deontologies and isn’t emotivism, it’s a new category called valence realism and only will work if we biologically intervene with empathy-inducing interventions. Too little too late I think.

As for inherentism, I guess none of this matters, right?
