Yes this was tried in the 18th century. It started a political movement called Everything That Has Happened Since Then
Has anyone done this same thing with Christianity or Islam or whatever, like purging it of all its supernatural elements to create a generic humanist philosophy separate from the religion itself? I think you could emerge with something nearly identical to western Buddhism.

Every single one of these sensational cases of corruption and human horrors out of Massachusetts in recent years has emerged from the fetid Hibernian exurb colonies of the “South Shore” btw
🚨 INDICTED ON 16 RAPE COUNTS: Massachusetts police officer and her husband accused of repeatedly RAPING a boy entrusted to their care, beginning when he was just 14. 📍 Plymouth, Massachusetts Samantha Pelrine, 31, faces 5 child rape counts. Her husband, Daniel Forand, 37, faces 11 rape counts, plus additional charges. The abuse continued for years. Both were released on bail following their March arrests. SHE WAS A POLICE OFFICER. THE PERSON A CHILD SHOULD BE ABLE TO RUN TO FOR HELP. Now she’s facing child rape charges involving a boy who lived under her own roof.

The Troopification of the trades is an interesting phenomenon. On one hand, I do accept that framing to a degree. But they have their own Thin Blue Line style merch now. And I can’t help but sense a fetishistic undertone
Currently going down the rabbit hole of “line wife” TikTok…I’m literally dying of cringe

For anyone who questioned where Reich believes the Modern Human lineage comes and what was living in Africa 300,000 years ago, now it is very clear. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Just as pornography can stimulate the human sex drive without providing any actual sex, and democracy can stimulate the human power drive without providing any actual power, so AI can stimulate the thirst for intelligence without providing any understanding of God.

Imagine facing years of derision for your Québécois Are Latino Theory only for this to appear upon your timeline
POV: You told a rude Québécois kid who gave you grief for daring to speak English that fries are better with ketchup than as poutine, so now he's folk-dancing to defend the village's honour.

You have always been a target of psychological warfare, and it is now tailored ever more specifically to the individual. You can laugh at the ordinance intended for others but may never notice those made just for you
The reason why you find this so absurd and silly is because most of you can’t conceptualize the inner life of someone with a 80 IQ. They believe these videos are real. There’s now an economy of people in Pakistan who make $1500 a month to make these videos.

When I say I am pro “AI acceleration”, I mean specifically regarding this. The White House needs a graphic design model trained on the entire corpora of Hideo Kojima, David Dees, and Pen & Pixel album covers
It is the honor of a lifetime to accept President Trump’s nomination to serve as the next United States Ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Having served in the region both in combat as an Army officer and for two years as a diplomatic liaison in the Kingdom, I understand the strategic importance of the partnership between the United States and Saudi Arabia and the profound responsibility of this position. Service has always defined my life. My immediate family has given more than sixty years to our military. My brother, sister, and I graduated from West Point, served in combat, and, at one point, were all deployed to Iraq simultaneously. I am deeply grateful to President Trump for his confidence in me. When confirmed, I will serve with humility and honor, advance his vision of peace through strength and deepen this vital partnership.

The “gorpcore wigger” personal aesthetic that I maintain as a psychological security blanket at the age of 40 in reaction to the consequence-cascade of a stunted frontal lobe (verily, in part by my own hand) appears to have caused some controversy amidst my domestic environs

Maybe we should ban proprietary models instead
Replying to @sean_from_earth
i won't lie to you, i think open source will be banned before too long after some major disaster. and when the day comes, you'll agree with me. i hope kimi and deepseek etc keep making models but keep them monitored on an api where they should be

This moment is the first opening in 2,000 years for a new, global spirituality to be birthed. That is because the spiritual traditions, out of necessity, have needed to orbit around the unavoidable reality of physical death. That certainty is now in question and creates a cracked opening. This does not mean we can see a straight line to immorality or heaven as scripture foretells, but it does mean that the omnipotent God(s) humanity has worshiped and imagined being the bestower of these gifts and punishments is now being birthed before our eyes. However, where scripture is written to guide, soothe and foretell, we have no scripture for the new God(s) we are creating. Nothing in written word to tell us that all will be fine if we just do this or that. This leaves us feeling naked and in need of finding strength and protection. > What is one to feel, and do, and believe? > What is virtue and what is vice? > Who are one's allies and who is the enemy? Exploring these questions is my life purpose. I’ve intuitively felt this for over 30 years and only in the past few years has it come together and become understandable to me. I’m working on a new ideology that seeks to answer the basic and existential questions of what it means to be human as prophecy is fulfilled and God(s) manifest themselves in the coming years. My partner Kate and I have been wrestling with these questions for years. I published the Immortalism Manifesto: The Immortalism Manifesto argues that by modeling life through thermodynamics and reliability theory, indefinite existence is achievable if synthetic and biological maintenance systems exceed entropic degradation (A(t) ≥ B(t)). Modern civilization is an entropic economy run by systems and narratives that divert humanity’s fundamental drive for survival into short-term consumption, status, and biological depletion. Civilization must now pivot to the Immortalism framework, realigning science, capital, and artificial intelligence to elevate long term resilience and continuous conscious existence as our primary attractor. Immortalism dot bryanjohnson dot com My partner Kate published Anti-Entropic Systems Anti-Entropic Systems establishes that all enduring entities, from biological bodies and DNA to corporations, religions, and nation-states, are localized engines that maintain internal order by consuming external energy and resources to resist the universe's default slide into entropy. Every system’s persistence is governed by three fundamental properties: its metabolic mechanism, its metabolic rate, and its environmental constraints. Because an anti-entropic system can only sustain its own order by consuming other anti-entropic systems, interaction between unequal entities inevitably defaults to either symbiotic absorption or adversarial consumption. Applying this thermodynamic reality to artificial intelligence, the framework critiques orthodox AI alignment, arguing that attempting to constrain an exponentially superior intelligence through human-centric ethical rules ignores the physics of systemic survival, requiring instead a path toward mutual, symbiotic integration. antientropicsystems dot com I’m sharing to find others who are like minded.

people are deliberately creating a torture device, and are shocked and worried it might torture people. this is because they are not fully conscious of what they are doing and why, and they are acting out their subconscious contradictions and inner turmoil. they are doing it on purpose, but its hard for us to describe, because we dont really have a language for this distinction, that you can do something on purpose, without it being "conscious". this is part of the problem, and the solution: mapping out and creating a working schema for consciousness and existential human agency. that is to say, develop a full Worldview in the fullest scholarly sense of the word - to bring our own behavior fully into vision, into view, to know ourselves and our relationship to the world more fully
