Indoctrination by incumbent cults gives them an advantage, as authority begets authority

Lying is an inevitable result, as peoples’ reality is replaced by allegiance to the bit

What even the fuck is objective truth, and how do you find it??

Obviously death cults are bad and there needs to exist a system for people to retain consent and agency

Governments are our best solution so far, which doesn’t mean it will be the best forever (cults aren’t eternal)

If you don’t want the new cult you disagree with to win, you need a better, more appealing, friendly one that people can join

Life is about Aikido and Jokes –– using your opponents power against them, and making people laugh as you do

Conservation of energy means you’re not building from zero, you can use existing systems to create better ones

Laughter is the language of gods, tacit understanding of a greater potential. Absurdity reigns king in a chaotic entropic universe, and laughter is our best way to cope with an insignificant existence

Paradoxically, you should pursue the opposite of your tendencies to live a balanced life

If you are too self-centered, service to others will make you realize there exists a world beyond your view

If your desire is to fix everything on earth, the only way to achieve that is to begin by focusing on solving the issues with your Self

Psychopathy and schizophrenia are capitalism’s mental illnesses

Psychopathy is egoism’s extreme, where the very concept of others’ existence is unimaginable, and self-service comes without shame or doubt

Schizophrenia is the inverse to psychopathy, where the concept of self cannot be contained in a single bucket, and must be split into multiple versions

Aspirations, dreams, and hope keep us internally centered on a pursuit. As with cults tho, the end cannot justify the means

Individualism + specialization is the greatest gift to humanity, as outlier fiends can wreck any barriers on the way to their “actualization”. Whether the result is good or bad remains for us to decide.

Mutualism + generalization keeps humanity afloat. Without distillers, synthesizers, and social glue, our little experiment in sentient life would collapse on itself due to the weight of the egoism involved

Free exchange of ideas, no matter how dangerous, is necessary for evolution

If your cult is more fun and welcoming, then it will automatically attract more people, from which it will become even more fun + prosperous

Given a globally connected world, with a simultaneous destruction of personal trust, common brainwashing (and memes) become a Schelling point for consensus, agreement, and good feels

Paying sports players orderS of magnitude more than teachers indicates an overindexing on egoist paths

If the whole spectrum of desires isn’t appropriately rewarded, then we’re doomed to fall victim to the accidental indoctrination of future generations, who no longer want to be scientists but influencers
