The narrative constructs of cause and effect, things like political parties, religion, myth, anything that's folk science, is dead. These are dinosaurs in an analytic-non-linear reality where chaos and game theory operate. Toss all those old constructs out.
- techblueberry 11mo agolol, those things are coming back stronger than ever.
- Marshferm 11mo agoNo they're fragmenting, study the numbers. They're no longer coherent as state-myth, they're now individual claims to moral and ethical superiority. And notice the idea that sloganeering propaganda is used to describe this: "coming back stronger than ever". As if religion, myth etc is a brand of detergent, or a sports franchise, or a fast food enterprise. https://www.npr.org/2024/01/24/1226371734/religious-nones-are-now-the-largest-single-group-in-the-u-s https://www.npr.org/2024/01/24/1226371734/religious-nones-ar...
- techblueberry 11mo agoI think we’re hitting a peak, I expect this to come raging back, maybe in a different form. People are super tired of post-modern meaninglessness.
- Marshferm 11mo agoYou’re out of date/touch. We’re already looking at decentralized meaning, where meaning is both visualized and actualized and operable. Journalism and religion are part of ye olde ancient regime of cause and effect. Religion is just conspiracy theory. We need a new post truth form.

- techblueberry 11mo agoI'm the opposite of a nihilist. I think human beings are beautiful creatures, and it's wrong to misattribute to them. I think all human factors are trade-offs, and a balance of more and less intelligent humans are beautiful. I love that people love all sorts of things, and people clearly gestures everywhere love conspiracy theories.

- AnimalMuppet 11mo agoYou need to read the site guidelines. You can't post like that here. Also, free clue: No matter how right you're sure you are, sounding like a jerk is a sure way to get people to write off what you say.
- Marshferm 11mo agoI would read what they wrote first, cursory nihilistic dismissal, demonstrative cursing. I don’t think that level of discourse belongs here, what they wrote. In my view you’re flagging the wrong response. Posters that extol the virtues of misinformation do not belong in discourse. Simple.
- AnimalMuppet 11mo agoI read it. You are out of line - far more so than they are.
