People who are done with themself don't have any reason to intertwine and integrate with society, let alone to be with someone else If I focus on "being finished" with my self then I will never have any time to be with anyone because there is very little reason to be with anyone

psst, hey, anon, hey, psst larping religiosity is going to be exactly as unfulfilling and lack meaning to the same degree as participating in social ‘modernity’ did and you’re gonna get grifted by people with charisma who can run that scam what should you do instead?

Millennials who are very cavalier about not having children are in for a shock when they enter their 40s & realize life is only half over. What do you do at that point? Keep trying to be sexy & have fun? I expect to see a lot of sadness & confusion about what to do at that point.

I asked the one adult I know with the most relevant experience to me, "After building solid enough foundations for survival, how do you deal with creeping existential boredom?!" and their response was "lol shit you let me know when you find out or just settle into acceptance"😂

another way of framing all of this is… live your life like you’re in a heroic anime/jrpg. Make friends. Help people on their side quests. Earn their trust and loyalty. Triumph together with the power of friendship for the benefit of all. Help the old lady find her frying pan https://t.co/SYdPSfMfKz

what do you do when life treats you well, and you're no longer fighting for belonging, and have many of the things you need? what do you do?

The contention: Our political philosophy is theology minus god and our theology is religion devoid of the spiritual/mystic experience. What would a political philosophy informed by a theology that can actually reliably lead you to spiritual/mystic experience look like?

@visakanv but like… there's still such a thing as the "locus of agency that is you." main investment always goes there, because that investment is what flows out https://t.co/2bv3UacIYK

@AskYatharth “you should reduce yourself into maxxing economic productivity and then donate that” seems like not-unreasonable math, but it kills the part that loves, and as we established, if you remove the love everything goes to shit
