Other philosophy communities have only interpreted the world in various ways. The point, however, is to change it. [ x ]

Personally I think it's silly as hell. Qualia is obviously a biological component of experience... Not some weird thing that science will never be able to put in to words.

I've been listening to a lot of psychology podcasts lately and for some reason people seem obsessed with the idea despite you needing to make the same logical leaps to believe it as any sort of mysticism... Maybe I am just tripping idk

Every place I see climate news from also has- significantly worse politics then here, I'm glad we agree on the situation.

You're completely okay. My headspace kinda, is what it is.

I know words on the internet mean shitall during the twilight of our species

I actually quite enjoy it, words online are a good way to spend the twilight of humans. I appreciated talking with you about this too, climate change is one of my most passionate subjects. Tag or DM me anytime :)

For real. The collapse subreddit has lefties every now and then, and it's one of the few places on the internet to broach these topics, but it's mostly misanthropy of various flavors. I'm so deep in the doomworld that posts there aren't even new information to me now so it's not even worth visiting anymore

Actually yeah you're right. We may as well relish the futile. I'll keep you in mind if I see something interesting that might be worth a discussion. Care-Comrade Climate change and all its implications are a pathological obsession of mine, to the point that it has totally ruined my social life ahaha

I only visit every now and again, I often take breaks. Mostly to keep myself from being too depressed about the number of years I might have left and the quality of them. I might want to pick your brain at some point though.

Honestly haven't brought it up to people irl too much, they would not be convinced anyway.

Feel free to poke my grey matter whenever! terminally-online

yea most people either don't care or don't believe you, and the few that do usually forget about it entirely the next time i see them...
