Known Interdimensional Drifter

Hello, and welcome traveler to my personal blog. And real time record of my downward spiral into complete exhaustion. I post whatever i want here. Current fandom is sea of stars. Favorite saying is "this too, shall pass." constantly talks about alchemical constructs and golems because they're Cool.

hi. So, i decided to stop masking. Unfortunately i have been so active on my original blog that it would be impossible to do a sort of reset. I don’t know if i would care to erase all that anyways.Maybe i will return to it as my authentic self someday but for now this is my new main blog. The original can be located at @celestial-vagrant .

A lot of lefties acquired their leftism through academia rather than through empathy with other human beings and it really shows.

Full transcript below:

"A lot of lefties acquired their leftism through academia rather than through empathy with other human beings. And it really shows, because the culture of intellectual supremacy—the idea that you can be fundamentally better than someone else because you know better than someone else—is evident in the way that they behave and the way that they interact with other people. Unless we are able to identify and rectify this schism (because it is a fundamental difference in how you are relating to these concepts), we can't effectively move forwards.

Now, the reason for me that this is so important is because that concept of intellectual supremacy—that you can be better than someone else because you know things that they don't—is rooted in a western Eurocentric colonial mindset. And it is typically internalized at such a deep level that it is fully embodied. Meaning people are not consciously aware that they are doing that. That's just their default understanding. So they don't recognize the nature of the problem that they are perpetuating.

It's normally pretty easy to identify these differences in people, because it's the difference between punching down or uplifting. Either you're trying to be better than other people and prove how much better than other people you are, or you're trying to make sure that everyone can be better together.

Now, the thing is, I get it. There is a big, big draw towards feeling better than other people. It feels good. That's literally what it's about. You feel good because you feel better than someone else. But it's something that we need to be constantly addressing and resisting, because it is a fundamental lynchpin piece of the psychological paradigm that we are trying to uproot.

For me, I think the solution centers around humanization of the enemy. We need to be able to look at the billionaire class. We need to be able to look at Israel as a nation. We need to be able to look at the far-right resurgence across the world and ask ourselves: what happened to those people? Why are they doing that? Not just "they're awful, scummy people"—they can be that too, because that's how they're behaving.

But we need to address the recognition of what went wrong. Yeah, it is insane and totally unacceptable to just assume that they are like that from birth, that they were born to be bastards. Doesn't work like that. If you've ever spent any time working with children and been able to actually do a fucking good job of it, you will recognize that no children are born evil. But you should have also been able to have recognized how rapidly pathological mindsets take hold of a child in this society.

We need to be constantly attempting to humanize everybody, no matter how much we disagree with them."

You are allowed to be happy. You are allowed to seek out things that make you happy. There is no moral value in suffering. You don't have to deprive yourself of pleasure just for the sake of it. You deserve to be happy! Everyone does.

"Halloween adults are just as bad as disney adults" "Furries are worse than disney adults"

I gotta be real, I thought we were critical of disney adults for aggressive loyalty to a really gross mega-corporation, or refusal to engage with media that isn't for kids, not because people... have hobbies?

[jabberwockypie]

I'll be real, I think the majority of people I've seen complain about "Disney Adults" are doing it because they like having a group they can feel justified say snide things about being "cringe" and "annoying", rather than out of a particularly principled stance against corporations.

I'm actually pretty sure a lot of them just wanted to be mean about somebody who likes something "childish" and created a justification in service of that.

i went up to my neighbor to ask if i could trim his invasive blackberry but as soon as i said "hey" he just started info dumping about how hes an alchemist and how he has a lab but his pholosphers stone isnt complete because hes not fully spiritually developed and i ended up forgetting to ask him about the blackberries

Ancient Alexandrian ass problem to have

[cryptotheism]

One time I was at a party and I mentioned what I do for a living and this guy told me

"Yeah my dad got divorced and he got really into alchemy. He bought a bunch of tubes and shit online. He said was trying to make a philosopher stone in the garage and that he had to ferment his own pee."

"Fermenting pee is part of it actually."

"haha yeah- wait for real?"

"yeah inducing rot is one of the first steps. Usually they used manure."

"Well he was just fermenting pee. He kept the pee tubes above the washing machine."

"did it work?"

"no. After a few months he got embarrassed and took it down."
