Looks good. I would like to test cosmic whenever I have the time.

Oxygen not included

Stupidity and greed, a great combination!

Haha true that. This was inevitable btw, the further capitalism develops the more its will absorb everything. Religion is done for, community is done for, bourgie democracy is dying, next come nationality I guess, the environment is already compromised. It truly is a vampiric black hole.

Well it is Bourgeois democracy that’s slowly been consumed by corporate power. Globally

Well, I have nothing against old Epicurus, just unrestricted hedonism.

I dislike hedonism in the case it antagonizes discipline. There are many cases where our desires overcome our sense of self and end up as addictions. I guess what I dislike is formless desire unrestricted by rationality. Self-discipline = sense of self = good.

It is my view that everything is political, how could a way of thinking about desire not be? Hedonism in particular is perfectly suited for the current consumer culture which claims to satisfy our every want, which treats desire as the ultimate drive in the world and monetizes it. Participation in market economy is addictive and erodes our sense of self. It weakens us as individuals and prepares us for its hierarchies.

I like Marx and am iffy about Lenin. I also consider myself a libertarian regarding most issues and dislike hedonism. That doesn’t put me somewhere specific regarding ideology but that’s that.

Reddit has a ton of useful knowledge on it, why would I avoid it? It is not just a platform to doomscroll on… As a social media platform it’s as good as dead for me, but it is still a hyper forum with many worthwhile communities.

You revolt?
