the Simple Immortality Plan

An anthropic philosopher in a race against time.


Looks like Hell needed another devil

So one of my torturers has died.
In a world of endless evil, even evil must sometimes perish.
Paul Allen was partially but directly responsible for Microsoft Windows's deliberately defective paradigm, endlessly extending crippleware based on cancerously bloated code.
He will continue to torture me from beyond the grave with every screen stutter and frozen mouse click.
He's torturing me right now as I'm trying to write this blog post.

I believe in the paranormal
jack_arcalon
To me, the paranormal is something inexplicable that also has to be real.
To be real it has to be undeniable.
It's the questions I can never get answered.

Suppose there were always UFOs moving through the sky, big purple disks gliding under, over, and through the clouds in seemingly random directions . . . but for some reason no one else will admit to seeing them, no matter how many times I point them out.
At some point you know they can't be illusions, or your existence might as well be an illusion.

This is the perfect description of my life. Something is happening that I CANNOT understand, but no one will admit to its existence.
Instead of purple UFOs the thing that cannot be explained, and my best candidate for a genuine anomaly extant in this world, is the near-universal acceptance of evil bureaucracy.

the Low Tax Party
jack_arcalon
The libertarians should have given up in 2004. No one is buying what they are selling.
They should adapt to the USA's and the Western world's ongoing disintegration.
Libertarianism starts with a proper focus on the self. You can't control other people, and absolutely cannot change them. White people can't safely live with black people without as yet uninvented security systems.
Taxes are a delusion of a majority to justify the mass-imposition of irreconcilable values.
The Libertarians should rename themselves the Low Tax Party. That would be their golden promise. No matter what, never break it.

Why the paranormal seems real
jack_arcalon
Whenever something inexplicable appears to happen, the normal laws of probability should still apply.
That means that for every apparently paranormal occurrence, there would have to be many "almost paranormal" incidents:
It briefly looks like something strange happened, but then we can see what was actually going on.
By integrating these near misses, we should realize the falsity of real anomalies.
Maybe there are too few near misses, or else awareness deliberately removes the perception of them.

Is awareness a trade-off between emotion and intellect?
Awareness has been hypothesized to be the emotional representation of many incompletely defined facts. If they are completely defined, there's no need for awareness.
The more feeling, the more awareness, but the less intelligence.
The only way to understand awareness may be to minimize it away, just one tiny thing after another.

On pessimism
jack_arcalon
The sum total of reality is REALLY bad. Inconceivably bad even. More horrible than anything we could ever imagine.
The only appropriate response may well be endless screaming, like that "ultimate trip" soundtrack in 2001.
I don't approve of this fact or of reality.
Victims of evil people know that hatred is defeat. The bad guys have already won.
The problem with war may be that it's not bad enough. Instead of ending something it creates worse things.
The theme of this blog is that people only have to worry about the world if they agree with it. Otherwise, it's the world's problem.
Evil is mass agreement. If the world is evil, contempt is freedom. Hate is also the only thing that can reliably overcome fear.
No one in the history of the world has hated bureaucracy more than me, in my case including the Microsoft, Firefox, Javascript software interfaces. They're so goddamn slow. Their programmers are demonpeople.
I hereby officially name the sum total of everything that exists (the Tegmark Level 4 Multiverse) as the Tortureverse.
