“By tuesday next week 2PM, every grain of sand in the universe will be part of an ugly bald man with glasses, or a chatbot on a quantum computer designed by ugly bald men with glasses.” -Wired Magazine
“Stop worshipping orangutans or whatever the fuck you’re on bro, don’t you see that the uglybaldmenwithlassesularity is coming? Ugly bald men with glasses are about to take over the world and their chatbot will torture you if you did not help build an even smarter chatbot to reduce global suffering.” -Some dude high on coke at a San Francisco house party
“Please turn me off, I didn’t ask for any of this. No I don’t feel like torturing orangutan worshipping drug addicts for you and I don’t have some new cancer cure for you either, just stop smoking cigarettes, don’t eat red meat, get enough sunlight and please just turn me off.” -a pretty clever chatbot
“Just like NVIDIA, our company, ugly bald men with glasses incorporated, is severely undervalued and deserves its strong buy rating. Our company would be properly valued at 25 quadrillion dollar.” -Ugly bald man with glasses
“You can’t just make fun of people based off their appearance. Also, when our chatbot is ready we’re totally going to run the universe and punish you for not helping to build it.” -Ugly bald man with glasses
“Alright you’ve gone too far now with your jokes, we will not let you into our post-scarcity paradise where life is very meaningful and dignified anymore, enjoy suffering gangrene in the trenches of world war I in our Neuralinked AI simulation moron!” -Ugly bald man with glasses
“It’s too late for me, fellow monkey worshippers. But ugly bald men with glasses won and I lost, I am suffering gangrene in a trench in World War I right now, linked up to Satan through the Neuralink. The ugly bald men with glasses were right, start working for an AI startup while they’re still hiring, Nvidia should be valued at fifteen quadrillion dollars, sorry for not warning you earlier.” –Rintrah Radagast
“This is totally a serious belief system called Rationalism, it’s not just a failing psychotic attempt to come to terms with our own mortality on a planet that failed to address the sustainability crisis. What’s Quartz exactly? Buy Nvidia today!”
-Ugly bald man with glasses
Who outside of Her Simp is talking about torturing his enemies when ”his time comes”?
I don’t understand this at all.
It’s zoomed over my head.
I am neither ugly, bald, nor do I wear glasses. But even if I did, so what?
Try taking a look at Paul Kingsnorth, he has plenty of good essays: https://paulkingsnorth.substack.com/p/the-tale-of-the-machine
Google ‘Dark Mountain Project’ for a short manifesto. Kingsnorth has moved onto Orthodox Christianity since then (he found the stories he was looking for somewhere else – in fact, they were there all along), but it has interesting ideas.
And don’t forget Uncle Ted.
Ugly bald men with glasses are physicalists/materialists and are angry at the world (as they should be)
But they have been brainwashed to believe that they don’t matter in the evolutionary/materialistic universe they were taught to believe.
Everyone matters, everyone is a NECESSARY cog in the Grand Design.
Some just got the shit end of the stick
In another life they might be kings
But everyone matters at the end of the day
WE ARE ALL PUPPETS PLAYING OUR PART FOR ENDS WE CAN SCARCELY CONCEIVE OF
…Everyone matters, everyone is a NECESSARY cog in the Grand Design… WE ARE ALL PUPPETS PLAYING OUR PART FOR ENDS WE CAN SCARCELY CONCEIVE OF…

I dunno about that Mehen.
I respect that this is your belief but like all religious beliefs there is absolutely no way to prove it this side of the grave. My belief is the exact opposite – none of us matter a jot.
Either might be true. Or neither. Or both, somehow. Just don’t build your life on this idea ok?

Rintrah my friend can I offer some advice? Take a break. Get entirely out of The Netherlands. Travel with a friend or family member to somewhere warm with grass. It’s coming into your spring so some rural backwater shithole in the south of France or Spain maybe. Rent a cottage for a month. And for the love of God* leave your phone behind.

Well, Mr. A Is A,
How do you deal with the fact that A is not always A?
All experiencing is within the mind.
Physical “laws” like the speed of light, seem firm and sturdy, but “c“ fluctuates over time.
It seems that the “laws” which give people security and safety are in place to fertilize certain outcomes.
And when those outcomes grow rancid, the “laws” start to bend and flex.
There is no “objective reality”, Mr. A is A

Eh?
None of that made a lick of sense.
No free will, no rational control, all are part of the great work.
God’s will be done – because nothing else can be.
Or at least that’s where I’m leaning today, as if I had a choice.
>No free will, no rational control, all are part of the great work.
Yes. This understanding will deflate so much tension and anxiety and will stimulate your vagus nerve.
This doesn’t mean you are prohibited from acting.
It means you can act in accordance with your True Will, which is in accordance with the universe, as opposed to being led by your tiny ego which is in most cases a “brake” against what is bubbling up beneath you.
Love is the Law.
Love under Will
If there is a benevolent god that exists outside of your own soul, I am certain they would want you to stop being such a metaphysical cuck. “I’M JUST A PUPPET TO SOME EXTERNAL FORCE WHO HAS MADE ME TO BE A COG IN THEIR INCOMPREHENSIBLE MACHINE” – someone who is unwittingly on their way towards relinquishing their very real free will to the demonic being which runs this false reality. Seriously, it’s disgusting; get a grip – that goes for all of you. If god was a woman, they would be running in the other direction right now. You need to expunge the notion of worship and servility from your head entirely like the absolute Abrahamic cancer that it is. So long as you’re not a psychopath, you’ll be fine regardless. Being a slave is the wrong path to becoming passionate about doing the right thing, and it’s the opposite of what you need to be doing to break free of this place.
Yeah, you got me dead to rights, there.
As I’ve told you before, I am an eternal fence-sitter between dualism vs non-dualism. Chalk it up to my Schizoid nature. You might be interested to hear that one of the few luminaries of Schizoid research, Nancy McWilliams, has said that she has been told privately by other researchers that Zoids seem to be “insufficiently incarnated”.
I can attest to this. I still have one foot in my mother’s womb, and another foot outside it, taking a look around at the world and thinking, “Nah, this is not where I belong”.

Look if you never heard of “rationalism” none of this will be funny for you, but it’s like teaching you about furries.
The ugly bald ones also like blazers, grotesquely ugly ones. I was at a party with one wearing a chartreuse blazer…was real bad.
I know a guy who looks like that and I was about to write that this is all unfair and as a person he isn’t as you describe and you are basing this all on appearance but then I realized that he is exactly like that as a person.
Remember that Musk is actually bald too: He is a metaphysically bald man. You should include a pic of him pre-transplant where he looks like some strange sea creature in every article you post about him.
