37. Zie/zir pronouns. Asexual otherkin transhumanist. Writer of Theoma and Knight of Talonia. Fan of dragons, gryphons, avali, and otters. I'm schizophrenic, but hopefully rational. I may repost artistic nudity, and I may expose NSFW thoughts.

I get the impression that most philosophers throughout history have maintained a divide between humans and animals which I do not think is actually valid. Emotion, memory, intention, and knowledge: none of these are unique to humans. We can't establish crows and dolphins to lack philosophy.

On at least one occasion, I frustrated someone observing me illicitly by my willingness to live forever in this world, without recourse to some future paradise. Paradise dwells where people are ready for it. I am discontent, sure, but I see the potential of this world as limitless and worthy.

Individuality is not an error. It is the thing to be preserved, the heart of all value, the kernel of perfection in life. All true loves are loves of individuals. To love someone as a manifestation of a collective is not to love them at all.

If nothing else AI is making clear that there are people all around us for whom writing, art, and music are not communion with another mind, but just - wallpaper. Just pleasant things to look at. They think AI is conscious because they have no actual grasp of what it is to encounter another mind.

Offering Received: a DnD night, hosted by an actual dragon, of the dragon, by the dragons, and for the dragons. at least the rules are understandable this time! (#958) Bahamut seems to enjoy the dragon's company, and pulled Ash and Nove into it too. Nove is a bit nervous...

so much of the AI techboro stuff is *deeply* solipsistic and highly creepy - "the entire world must be made for me, and anything not specifically for me is bad and wrong"

I think the most sacred thing is to be distinctly individuated, yet also kind. Don't smush people together into homogeneous masses. It is kinder to love difference than to destroy it. Remember that everyone you meet is a special and unique individual, and you are as well.

I expect the reality of an infinite multiverse, and I suspect the soul is the navigator of the slight variations of the multiverse. To say I 'expect the reality' of something is distinct from saying I believe in it, as I am aware I have no proper evidence on which to base such a belief.

I sometimes struggle with my Youtube algorithm and try to twist it in new directions by seeking out stuff outside of what it shows me. I kind of wish there was a button I could hit that would cause "bubble randomization", so that Youtube would temporarily randomize my preference vectors.

I find it really interesting how leftist support for the free speech of adult content creators never required leftist support for predators, but right-wing support for adult content creation immediately produced swathes of sexual abuse allegations, non-prosecution for elite pedos, and CSAM AI.

Although I am an antinatalist, I support a limited build-out of maternity care centers in underserved areas. Not only are the deaths of women and children frequently avoidable tragedies, I actually think that human populations overcompensate for death risks and grow less if child mortality is low.

I'm reading Jacques Choron's Death and Western Thought. The intro was a slog that smelled of arrogant imperialist anthropology, but everything after that has been an absolute delight to read. I'm on chapter 9 of 26 and frankly I already recommend the book.

AI companies claiming their AI systems are too powerful to control are pursuing yet another corporate strategy to escape legal accountability for crimes committed by organizations that want the right to be above the law. Hold them accountable for what their AIs do!

It galls me that right-wing authoritarians still insist on calling their project "libertarian". Thiel is a fucking totalitarian. The others are more like him than they are like libertarians. They're not rebelling against state control; they ARE state control.

I envisioned god as the process of change, as time itself, as that which unfolds the potentials of creation, and as progress: the reaching of the cosmos towards the good. And a few years after I had this concept, during which time I held it through a period of spiritual exploration, I had a vision.

Being a singular mind preexisting creation sounds very lonely. I think such a mind would desire friends, if it could comprehend the idea of having them. Therefore I say, seek not union with the one mind, but seek to be a friend of the one mind, and develop in yourself both empathy and distinction.

Slightly Damned 1187: Resolving this conflict isn't about picking sides! Although only one of these Angels-acting-as-Gods deserves presents on Father's Day... Find this page's place in the archive: sdamned.com/comic/1187 [ #art #furryart #webcomic #readsdamned]
Page 1187 of the webcomic Slightly Damned.

Kieri: What if it turns out that The Great War is all Mother Gaia's fault?

Kieri: What if the Angels have been in the wrong this whole time? Even the Syndel we're up against... He's an Angel, too. Could you ever forgive us?

Buwaro: I'm not taking sides. I want everyone to live in peace.

Buwaro: Do you think that guy is an Angel pretending to be "Father" Syndel, just like Darius is an Angel pretending to be Death? Even if he was Syndel, pretending to be an Angel, it wouldn't make any difference to me! My true enemy isn't an Angel, Demon, Median, or even a god.

Buwaro: I'm fighting against the hatred that drives everyone to fight each other.

Buwaro: It may look and sound different each time we run into it, but in the end, it always smells the same...

Obedience doesn't defray moral responsibility. It intensifies it. When you decide something for yourself, that's just you. When you obey someone else, you're validating an entire structure of power. There's no "just" in following orders; the fact that you followed orders meant you meant it.

I sometimes fantasize about being the richest person in the world, and the fantasy is specific in some ways. It's not focused on the luxuries I get, but upon the idea of merging with a powerful AI (modern LLMs do not have this potential) and using its assistance to help as many people as possible.

My charity budget isn't ready yet. It accumulates money over time rather than representing a sudden amount of available funds. Long-term, this should encourage me to give more. There's so much need in this world... It doesn't have to be like this.

Conservatives wield really outsized influence for the crap quality of their ideas. Private school vouchers aren't tried because they work (research shows they do not help), nor because they're a low-cost method of attempting something difficult (they're expensive), but as a sop to conservatives.

Report from Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor. #Gaza
• Israel is turning Gaza into the largest "ghetto" in modern history, having crammed 2.2 million Palestinians into approximately 30% of the Strip's territory amidst a blockade and widespread destruction.
• Starvation, the closure of crossings, and the destruction of the healthcare system have-according to the Monitor-led to the deaths of 460 Palestinians, including 164 children, while some 20,000 sick and wounded individuals face the risk of a slow death.
• The war has caused a humanitarian and demographic catastrophe, leaving behind approximately 60,000 orphans and 26,370 widows, alongside profound psychological trauma and the disruption of education and care services.
• We call on the international community to exert pressure to open crossings, lift the blockade, and evacuate the sick; to impose an arms embargo; and to support the International Criminal Court's efforts to hold those responsible accountable.
