https://www.erowid.org/experiences/ > Would I have regrets for not having gotten a shitty university degree? No > [Would I have regrets] not having had plans at 23 to make more money? Slightly but not really > Will I wish I had sucked my bosses' dicks better? Yes > Will I regret having spent my life as a society-approved bitch? Yes > Why do [the aforementioned society-approved zombies] do what they do? Fear of being excluded from the herd. Malicious greed for mo' money, masked as mental retardation. > How can we be the same species? Our differences with them are very subtle - just a bit more appreciation for truth/logic. > Why is it that you're given the gift of life and your perfectly working senses and a cool brain, but its all a waste to be honest? For most of our genetic evolution, we didn't have a pre-frontal cortex - a higher-level brain - to care about morality/truth. We just cared about resource acquisition and reproduction. > Why must a fellow human meddle with [our beautiful lives]? To get a fitter mate, to ensure competition in breeding which ensures *genetically* healthier offspring. > You mustn't fuck with somebody's right to live. This appeal only works with people who have a functioning pre-frontal cortex. O_O. My sister et al are effectively lobotomized. > Bobby is looking cute af like always, he gets horny and creepy at night. Oh. > Being outcasted sucks, it's life threatening. It's interesting how this is kinda like a fundamental need, like hunger, but so much more subtle and invisible and not properly acknowledged. Like, my sister et al would never directly say that they're siding with the status quo, with evil, with slavery, because of this deep need as a social species, the terror of being outcast. > What is love anyway? Our emotional reflex to virtue. (Pho and her super-cute white blue-eyed bf asked themselves this in a recent stream, and they both had super-awkward answers :P. Even though they were aware of Moly's.) > Love feels better. Love feels better than being "in love"? Wdym? > How long do you spend not being yourself Essential question! ^ > How do you make your living? Are you hurting others, or helping them? Another almost universally overlooked question! Also "are you helping or hurting evil people (supporters of evil)?" > Making a living hurting other humans is very very fucked up. This reminds me of how (more explicit) gangs work. They often force new members to do something evil, to get their hands (souls) dirty, to create a stronger bond (blackmail leverage, need for protection, destruction of the soul and concomittant alienation from moral people, etc) > Are you ready to bear the consequences of your crimes? Di? I hope you're ready to bear them. You have made your choice crystal clear. You knew what was at stake, you knew what you were doing. > Honesty is freeing alone. I wasn't able to convice my sister (Di) of this. Oh well, I tried. |
