I get what you’re saying, but I don’t think that handing out a Nobel Peace Price is an “easy” way to bribe someone

lol ok, i believe you’re just taking the piss, and I’m sure it’s not just my perception

If it’s a political philosophy, then what political points is it trying to make? Because most of the concrete applications of this ideology the manifesto makes are basically that it treats marginalized groups better. And it even fails at that:

Soulism can help us win ideological battles with transphobes who would do our trans friends harm, as well. No matter what assertions they make, we can simply choose to recognise them as not real. Whatever truth lies in their claims is subjective, and it is our choice whether to accept it. Gender, like consensus reality, is a social construct. We have the power of choice over our experience of gender, and this example to others is powerful.

This is honestly delusional. Pretending the transphobes bigotry isn’t real doesn’t help at all, they can still go ahead and harm trans folks in the reality they live in. I don’t think that sticking your head in the sand is the solution to this.

“Magic is observable phenomena caused by things that aren’t real.”

It follows that transphobic hate crimes are magic. This entire section just feels pointless, I just skimmed that paragraph about wizards and dungeons and dragons, and when I read that financial transactions are magic I just stopped reading because I felt like I was wasting my time.

In my understanding, most of the examples given in the manifesto essentially boil down to “I will change my behavior and opinions, because I believe it is the right thing to do”. The whole “reality isn’t real” and “magic exists” stuff around this are just so confusing, because it is not at all clear how it relates to the examples. The beginning feels more like a rant or ramble about history and metaphysics.

The first conclusion, then, is obvious: Take power over reality for ourselves. Choose kindness, and spread kindness into the values of everyone you meet. Believe in a kind reality, and science will show you that same kindness. This is how you create a better reality.

This is equivalent to stating “be nice”; a request that clearly does not work. All the other stuff in that text about the realities and perception is just noise that distracts from the already very sparse points it’s trying to make. I get the feeling that solipsism is a huge inspiration for this ideology. The main issue with solipsism is that it draws no useful conclusions from its main argument. If there is nothing I can extract from solipsism to act on, then it is pointless to advocate for it. Obviously it cannot be disproven, but it also cannot be explicitly proven

I skimmed the manifesto because I felt like I was about to waste my time. Since reality is to be rejected, the only thing that matters is your perception, which you should subjugate to your will in order to… well that’s what the manifesto doesn’t really answer. At least not satisfyingly.

Their objective is to spread kindness, so subjugate your perception to your will, in order to be more kind to others. An example was rejecting your perception of gender in order to be more kind to trans folks. It was a lot of words to basically say "change your views to accommodate other people’s feelings abd make them more comfortable.

But finally, from my understanding of this ideology, yes, murdering others is okay, you can simply reject your perception of their rights. Hope that helps!

The manifesto fails to define any sort of metric of what is considered “kind” or “moral” (doing so would require a reality). But they do define “magic”, and then declare that money isn’t real, thus commerce is magic.

EDIT: The manifesto is kind of a ramble, hard to follow and doesn’t even answer the question of what the hell this philosophy wants from me. Usually a philosophy implies an MO I can adhere to, but this one doesn’t really do that. It lists examples of how this philosophy helps queer, trans and neurodivergent folks, but doesn’t explain how. Just that it’s possible. It doesn’t explain why I would want to do that.

Oh come on, give them a break. Brazil still has the most world cup wins under their belt, Argentina doesn’t even make the top 3

In a regulated market this sort of thing would be called “insider trading” and is highly illegal, usually. Then again betting on unregulated “markets” is just asking to be ripped by people with insider info

I understood it as “thrashing” in a computer science sense. When RAM fills up and the kernel has to swap aggressively, that’s called thrashing

yeah I don’t like that there is what appears to be moisture inside the bluer ones packaging

It’s not just about GDP, if your retired population starts to outnumber your working population by a large amount, who will support all those old people? Nowadays children can’t care for their parents because they have to go to their 9-5 every day, so we rely on other people to do that job for us, and if they disappear then what? The problem isn’t the deflating population per se, it’s the inverted demographic pyramid and our work culture

The suggestion of using an external clock module is so obvious, I don’t know how I didn’t come up with it myself. Thank you for that!

Thank you for the advice, but it’s not really what I’m looking for. I am looking for something really lightweight for now, and the ESP32 is a bit overkill. And codeless deployment sounds horrible, I want to actually write the ode myself, I should have mentioned that!

Yeah, I think I’m gonna ignore networking for now. I’ll have a look at your recommendation, thank you!

exactly, their explanation of the backwards-in-time-travelling bullets started making less and less sense as the movie went on
