I took a collection of my writings I had in a text file ( comments from Facebook, other online posts from 1989-2024 I think) and stuck it into DeepSeek.

Yeah. I mean my take is: there’s always a way to poke a hole in any statement of truth in some fashion, which makes them partially fiction at the very least. So this way, I accept that but it doesn’t take away from its potential truth value; rather, it puts it in a “let’s get realistic here” pragmatic sense.

Oh absolutely. For myself, I tend to be very very very slow at certainties. It’s very difficult to button things up. It’s very satisfying to hit upon something where I can say “I can work with this”, put it aside and move on but I can spend many years on something looking at it from far too many angles. I look towards ‘rejection’. I am not looking for things to accept because it’s easy to ‘FALL IN LOVE” with a pet idea. Rather, I look for things to throw away but not throw away as in “it is trash not truth” but throw away as “The Answer” and instead see it as a useful fiction that has some pragmatic value for somebody in some way – and perhaps many or most people in many or most ways – enough where I can trust it well enough but not enough to shout it from the rooftops “EUREKA!” When I hit those Eureka moments, it’s really nice though.

Tim McDonald So, cause and effect is meaningless to you? You can mix time together freely so that cause comes after effect? My claim is: 1932: HUXLEY INVENTS TERMS AND DEFINITIONS. PUBLISHES A WORK OF FICTION CALLED A BRAVE NEW WORLD. 1948: Frans de Waal is born. 1960 – 1981 : Frans de Waal reads A BRAVE NEW WORLD. (between age 12-33) 1975: Frans de Waal starts a 6 year study on captive zoo chimpanzees at one zoo. 1982: Frans de Waal publishes a book “Chimpanzee Politics” based on studying captive chimps in cages. Sometimes after 1982: Newt Gingrich starts giving away a copy of “Chimpanzee Politics” to every young Republican entering Congress, telling them that “this is how everything works here in Capitol Hill”. 1993: Internet starts getting more available to the public and no longer just universities and military. America Online is a good part of it. post 1993: Online societies form of various voluntary groupings. 2000s : as evolutionary psychology continues gaining a foothold in universities and wider acceptance as it tries to shed its odd “sociobiology” beginnings, the graduates graduate and unemployed with lots of free time, bring the ideas onto the internet and start populatizing it in gamer hierarchies, “manosphere” online men’s only spaces for jokes and discussion like Bodybuilding Forums etc, popularizing the ideas. 2009-ish: 4chan starts mocking the hierarchy brutally. But the brutal mocking starts shifting to belief and pride in the levels as people do not realize it’s all just jokes and the bodybuilding forums seriousness mixes with the 4chan humor. 2024. Here we are today. That’s my claim.

Creatures definitely live in these woods. A panther killed my pet goat about 12 years ago. Jumped into the cage three times, tore its head off, carried it with it deep into the woods, came back for more. Our chickens have been destroyed by skunks, panthers and bears. And there’s certainly unspeakable horrors beyond human comprehension out there. My 11 yr old ne refuses to go outside here after dark. My answer is: stop thinking in terms of matrix. Live your life. The matrix is a fictional movie made by trans women about living a fraudulent life for the sake of fitting in and that image on top is a meme that exaggerates human choices to some weird dichotomy that does not reflect reality but rather a fantasy some attempt to achieve; making real a fiction. Instead of trying to make a fiction real, be real.
