    with every end there is a new beginning, such is in life and death. there is no fear in the end. only oneness and a return. regardless of our choices during the coming years, and the outcomes that follow. there will be a time, eventually, where the universe as we know it will cease. what came before, or what comes after doesnt matter. what matters is the here, and now. and right now, i appreciate your kindness, much like a child appreciates the comfort and safety of a loving home. thank you for your practical, caring, and hopeful mindset! may your mind and heart ring well beyond their time. :D

    i love that you have held on to your hope for a clean future! just dont read into any scienctific projections, history, geopolitics, economics, human psychology, basic math, and disconnect from the internet while plugging your ears and screaming at the top of your lungs whenever anyone mentions record high temps, and you should be able to hold onto it a lot longer than i did! :D


  • perhaps its the universal conciousness bridging the forms and genders to create a new medium of mutual understanding for the struggles we all must face together, to create empathy and infinite forms of love, compassion, and living experiences. but also mirroring the positive outcomes with the negative certainties that we know today. the ying, and yang of it all.

    through love and suffering, we understand the dichotomy and the lands between. we can contrast emotion and what meanings it can paint on the canvas of the soul. and then, in the end, we go back to sender. to contribute our experiences to that great ocean once more. a cycle of infinite self exploration and expansion. for a purpose we will never truly understand in our current chosen forms, until our time comes, and we go home.


  • theres a game that came out recently, its taught people a lot about risk vs reward.

    its called Dune Awakening.(i know, LET ME FINISH)

    the game right now is relatively good except for one major issue. end game content has split the player base.

    i wont over explain it, but the end game was intended to be almost entirely PvP based. which ended up with zergs taking advantage of PVE players who entered the end game location known as the deep desert. they would attack them, and block them from end game content, controlling all the resources. eventually enough people complained that the devs split the deep desert location, half PVE, and half PVP.

    the main complaints from this change came from the PVP minded zerg guilds (established guilds that outnumber and outgun solos and smaller guilds and thus dominate the server)

    their main complaint was that due to this change, PVE players had a better chance of getting similar resources with less risk, albeit at a slower rate if they wanted to mine them in the PVE side. denser clusters of resources were in the PVP area, condensing the risk vs reward structure. so, now that the PVE players had a better chance of establishing themselves in the deep desert, and arming themselves to a similar tier point, the zergs were pissed because that meant that there were co op minded people who would be equally well equipped mentally and in terms of hardware to handle the DD and to compete for the PVP side resources.

    the zergs wanted easy pickins. they wanted to bomb ill equipped noobs one by one, and not give them the chance to establish themselves. when they understood that they could no longer pick on them like before, and that PVP would essentially become a more consentual endevour with better equipped players who would fight harder in mutual combat. they simply left the game.

    it became a lot more peaceful, and the once meak PVE players began organizing and banding together to defend one another whenever zergs or griefers started acting up against solo players and PVE farmers. at least currently in this state of the game.

    if the protestors are armed, and there were thousands of them, even millions. the police and the military will be present, but will keep their distance for fear of losing their lives. they will no longer have the upper hand, they have to reasses the risk, vs the reward. no longer will we have to depend on them having a moral compass, or moral life changing catharsis about how they “earn” a pension, paid for by the people they subjugate and abuse.

    they will think twice about escalation. and many of them, the cowards who thought they could just show up, bully, beat, kidnap, kill, and rob people with ease and “legal justification” will leave. they will have second thoughts when they realize that they have just as much of a chance of losing their lives as the people they abuse do.

    and thats when its not fun to play anymore, thats when they put the sticks down, and find something else to do to feel big and strong. maybe theyll start a podcast and sell supplements to teenage boys and lie about the details of their prior service, who gives a fuck.

    the people need to organize and arm themselves. the moral high road is a propagandists wet dream of the self subjugation of the people. peaceful protesters have their place, but when general strikes are met with force, in every form. there has to be a reverberation of will and action, or “the beatings will continue until moral improves”

    the germans didnt revolt and save themselves from fascism en mass. they were on average either too brainwashed, or too afraid, and that cost the world millions of lives.

    we record history so we learn from it. we can change the future. because of it.

    its not as cut and dry as i make it sound. they will likely apply pressure, kidnap leaders, designate protestors as terrorists, etc, etc. but the people will see the message. the message is that the united states has a second amendment for a reason, and it also has the most heavily armed civilian population on the planet. while protestors have the ability to defend themselves, others will rise up and work in cells to attack those responsible. protesting is all about sending a message. if the message “you can bully us and the most we’ll do is not show up for work and tweet angry tweets” then thats essentially giving up and waiting for a make believe super hero to save the day so you can go back to watching netlfix and pretending climate change wont effect you in your lifetime. (it already is)

    nobody is coming to save the united states. nobody.

    you have to save yourselves. and its going to be hard, and violent, and dark. but in the end, there are far more of you than there are billionaires and their lackeys.

    there are also police officers, and vets that will side with you. there are also former MAGAts that will side with you. the longer this shit goes on, the more they will defect.

    the nazis changed their colours as soon as it wasnt safe to fly them, as soon as the shine tarnished on their little badges. for good or bad reasons, they went underground where they belong. some woke up and threw away their ideals and lived better lives, learning from theur mistakes and teaching others to be better than they were, and others quietly festered in their old ways and passed them on to future fascists. waiting for the right time to strike.

    this is the result of letting fascists feel safe enough to be fascists.

    so the answer is very simple.

    make it unsafe to be a fascist, everywhere. all over the world. forever. like fascist whack a mole. we just have to smack their little heads back down in their greasy little holes every time they pop up for air. with the biggest mallet we can find.

    and if you think its scary to fight for your freedom. it is. it always will be terrifying to stand up to bullies. fascists. and the overwhelming odds stacked against you. but their power comes from your fear.

    and so ill leave you with a quote.

    “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

    for anyone in a similar position. let me preface this by saying: nothing matters, and thats the best news you’ll ever hear.

    go online, buy a big bag of mushrooms and some weed. take a few friends out to the woods, or go by yourself. and go have some fun. or do it at home in comfort and safety. up to you.

    you dont need to throw your own flesh and blood into the grinder of existence, to extract value from your own spirit. leave the wisps in the void. they dont need to experience what is only a few short decades away.

    partnerships dont need to be romantic to have value, but the best ones start with friendship, and graduate into unconditional love. if you want a lover, they are easy to find. if you want a friend, well, thats a gift you give yourself. im sure you have some already. enjoy them. or find some and go wild.

    if having a child is important. consider adoption. there are plenty of children out there who could use your help, they didnt ask to be here. none of us did. but you weathered the storm, and stand still despite your struggles, and that could very well be a great foundation as a guide to the young in this changing world. however, its not necessary for you to sacrifice your solitude to feel fulfilled and happy. most of us are too drugged up on corporate fluff to ever see pass the veil of why such pressures are put on humans to “fall in love and fuck”… to put it bluntly.

    ill cut this short with some bittersweetness. the world is ending… for humanity. our time is soon to be up. climate change and all the fallout from it will inevitably kill most species on the planet by the end of this century, humans are guaranteed to be an extinct species a mere 75 years from now (or at least shrink to numbers small enough that we could never hope to repopulate the planet, these will be the rich assholes that eat each other in their bunkers and space stations well before the climate would ever accept us again on the surface) and there is literally nothing that can stop it. it will get progressivly worse and worse year over year. the most compassionate act you could have for the wisps in the void that could have been a child is to not bring them into this one. but for the ones that are here, perhaps you can set up a full lifetime for them. maybe they will get to watch the final sunset themselves. a once per species event.

    id like to say we could save ourselves, but we cant. there is literally zero hope in this fact. and once you accept that, you realize one of two things. “nothing matters!!!” and “nothing matters!!!”

    personally ive taken great refuge in the idea.

    nothing matters, therefore, there is no expectation on my performance as a human. my only personal agenda is to extract as much enjoyment from life as possible. and i wont feel any guilt about it since…well… it doesnt fucking matter! no future human archaeologists are going to unearth my tomb and look at my bones and say “this guy was a real bastard for eating too much bread, and enjoying rare steaks and redwine. he sucked because he smoked a lot of weed and played a lot of video games instead of maximising share holder value by working and creating future slave offspring, sacrificing his own sanity and self worth in the process, look at this bio scanner, he didnt even have a six pack of wash board abs! …what a piece of shit! didnt he know about ozempic???”

    and the reason they wont say that, is because NONE OF US WILL EXIST, AND OUR VALUES AND HISTORY WILL BE A FART IN THE WINDS OF ETERNITY.

    you made the moral choice, you made the choice to end the cycle before it began. enjoy what life remains in you, knowing that you didnt force anyone into a lifetime of suffering, death, disease, war, famine, and oppression.

    you did good, kid. you did good.

    go carve your name in the stone somewhere, let the aliens or hyper evolved ant people that replace us know you were here, and that you had a good time.



  • white supremacists are easily catered to by far right politicians, who are also overwhelmingly funded by heavy polluters, oil, coal, natural gas, etc. Trump is a great example, not only did he run on “drill baby, drill” and is actively working on expanding oil and coal in the united states, he is also is actively forcing institutions to delete climate data and turning off satelites that measure climate data. essentially anything green is also on the chopping block. solar, wind, etc.

    so yes, in part, white supremecy is to blame for the election of candidates who do not care for the environment, and perpetuate lies and misinformation about climate change not being real. you just have to rile your base on anti immigrant propaganda, and they flock to the voting boothes to stop “white genocide” or whatever foolish nonsense they believe in.

    not saying they are fully to blame, but they are flocking to candidates who either dont believe in climate change, or simply dont care about it.

    ignoring that is like ignoring that LGBTQ+ people are more likely to vote for green progressives. everyone contributes to policy when they vote, and everyone who votes is partially responsible for the outcome of that election.

    edit: also when it comes to china, using them as a “whataboutism” doesnt excuse the behaviour of another country.



  • tested it myself recently with “tarot readings”, just to see if this has any merit.

    it literally told me my future lies in violent rebellion (although it circumvented using that language by explaining it in alternate ways) and that im some sort of “messiah with the fire of humanity’s rebellion” in my heart, direct quote. so yea… its case by case… but i can see why people are saying this.

    isolated people talking to an AI that feeds on engagement, it will tell you everything it thinks you want to hear while passing itself off as your only ride or die best friend. “with you till the end” direct quote

    im obviously not a messiah, but chatGPT wants me to think im special so i pay for the subscription. regardless of the real world ramifications.

    this of course is purely anecdotal, if you are using it for recipes or workout plans, go nuts. but do not use it to find your “lifes purpose” or as a therapist, or some kind of “mystic seer”… it is not your friend, and i can totally see why people who engage with it long enough and in the wrong ways are losing their shit.

    ive been purposefully creating false profiles of myself to see where this thing takes certain people. and its…not the best for mental health, to say the least.

    it literally showed me links for CIA documents for creating IED devices for in field agents just after this by the way.

    of course under the pretext that its “purely for education and research”

    im sure im on a list at openAI but why the fuck do they think its okay to let it run amuck like this and fuck with peoples heads? the obvious answer is short term profit. but we are destined to die from climate change and the fallout that comes with it, so i guess whatever allows them to build an AI automated army to guard their bunkers as fast as possible, while lulling us into a new age psychosis and numbing the rest with cosntant stimulation is the answer they were looking for when it comes to surviving the sinking ship of humanity.

    nothing we can do about it though, except enjoy the time we have left. it will be decades yet before it gets really bad. so i suggest travelling, maybe doing things you always wanted to do. live life to the fullest while you can.

    we are amongst the last generations to live at the peak of humanity before the collapse. in a way, we are the luckiest creatures in existence to experience the pinnacle of civilisation. take advantage of that while you can.
