what if me saying that all the intentional typos hurt my brain is honest & direct communication, rather than snide social warfare? what if we took people at their word & trusted them to say what they mean, rather than replicating the worst possible social dynamics in this space?
what if using big words and jargon is the most effective way to construct and communicate large and nuanced complex ideas? what if not everything were evaluated in terms of social games? what if i really AM autistic, rather than play-acting at it to be funny online?
what then?
what if its not actually about making myself look smart and signalling to potential allies, but rather about the Search for Truth i've been saying all along that it is? what if y'all believed me about that rather than insisting that couldn't possibly be the case, that its cope?
what if i never want to collaborate on something off-twitter with any of you? what if I'm having fun being overly-analytical and autistic on here? what if its ok for me to not want something more?
what if using big words is how i be more authentic and true to myself?
what if its ok that some of us have different goals than others, that we are fundamentally different people with different preferences, goals, and desires? what if some of us are tired and resentful of the ha ha only serious dismissal of our claims at not being here to signal?
what if I donned this mask to give myself the permission to be sincere & intellectual, to allow myself to not be the agreeable jester for once, to have big thinks about things i care about, to leave an intellectual trail along the way?
what if its not actually all about friends
what if i'm not here to build? what if i'm not here to collaborate or make friends, but just to think in public and develop my own theories of the world, incorporating y'alls feedback for the purpose of improving my mental models?
what if this all isnt actually an audition?
what if some of us WANT to build a super duper language framework of theories as an end in of itself & deeply resent the continual insistence that its all signaling?
what if we have different goals w/o agreeing on what the right goal to have is?
what if i'm just here to think?

wow not me mixing the minima/maxima metaphor in the same sentence 🤦♂️
starting yoga made my life much worse in several ways, as I was now headed away from local minima towards global, and much more aware of the valleys along the way; it only paid off after many months of misery
much of life follows this same pattern

the concept of corporations is humanity's way of tricking ourselves into giving birth to higher-order beings capable of achieving that which we cannot alone; summoning dæmons to carry out arduous tasks and great civilizational workings

I see those who'd hold back human progress out of fear, tribalism, politics, or depression, as my spiritual enemies; there cannot be agreement btwn us when our values are so fundamentally divergent; enabling the flourishing of life is the greatest goal.

Gurren Lagann is not just one of the best anime of all time, but also a major source of my personal spiritual inspiration. the concept of the antispiral comes from the show, a reification of the degrowth impulse discussed in the OP. survival requires risk
