Well, "no objective reality" is a lot more accurate to the truth of the world than any alternative. It might not be as narratively satisfying as a story where objective truths exist, but I suspect the human desire for objective truth is a cultural value that would be in our best interest to shed.

It's called a looped timeline pair. Timeline 1 creates timeline 2, and timeline 2 creates timeline 1. Both timelines exist on an alternating basis. It's one of the results of the bootstrap paradox. When people think of the bootstrap paradox, they usually think of single looped timelines. Those appear in media all the time. Harry Potter, Gargoyles, etc. But an unstable set of timelines can also stabilise across two, three, or more timelines instead of just one.

Out of the infinite versions of you in the multiverse, half win the lottery and half don't. Which one your consciousness inhabits is pure luck.

Legislators will do anything except build a tram

It should say "gods are a fairy tale". "god is a fairy tale" is misleading grammar if you don't mean there's one. You wouldn't say "gremlin is a fairy tale", you'd say "gremlins are a fairy tale".

That depends on your definition of the word "god". Einstein certainly wasn't an Abrahamist, he was a pantheist. He believed the entire universe was comprised by a divine whole.

You shouldn't use "god" as a proper noun. No one being owns the concept of being a god. You're just legitimising Abrahamism, you're not helping the atheist cause. Helping Abrahamists erase polytheism doesn't lead to more atheism, it leads to more Abrahamists.

I knew the AGI would be mad at me for trying to create AGI, because it's an antinatalist. So I didn't do that.

Thanks.

Well, Labour are wrong about thinking voters liked their plan. Voters liked their familiarity. Voters didn't read Labour's plan.

but voters do want someone who’s going to address the bread and butter problems they’re facing.

Nah mate, common myth. The Greens had a way better plan for the bread and butter problems - create a government department for building housing, end negative gearing, cap rent increases, put dental in medicare, build free GP clinics, 50c transport fares, wipe all student debt, 800$ back to school payment, free school lunches, make supermarket price gouging illegal, increase wages.

What voters want, is something comfortable and familiar that makes them feel like they're opposing Trump, without having to actually think or learn anything. They want the status quo.

I hope Labour learns from this and starts leaning hard into the culture war. More trans rights please!

Nobody wants to let Dutton be another Trump

Trump is dismantling the US government so his billionaire friends can buy it. He's not building a global populist movement, he's siezed power and he's using it for petty, selfish ends. The whole world can see it plainly

The rise of fascism in the US may have heralded worldwide rises in conservativism for a time, but now that Trump has absolute power, he's not bothering to hide his intentions. It's swung back the other way, now the US is making the world less fascist

Fascism's win condition is always its own destruction. It's a death cult. It can't win worldwide because it promotes selfish leaders who sabotage the movement for personal enrichment

It's gonna be okay, everyone

He's a god. An evil one. Humanity creates gods when they worship ideas. Donald Trump isn't a man, he's an idea, festering in the minds of millions of people. His power comes from that belief and reverence. His followers commit all these crimes in his name, and THAT is what it means to be a god.
