... fear... it’s a real bastard...

.. well .. it’s been a pleasure reading you ..

.. well .. an interesting conclusion .. I don't necessarily buy it, but it's intriguing .. if these lost souls have to maintain their solitude, then they inevitably end up as leaders who face constant suspicion .. I suspect their numbers over time actually carry some weight..

.. this spirituality you're talking about... it's rooted in basic survival—just staying alive... and the first shift—the very first stage of transforming that idea—is belonging to a group, or to certain people... whoever holds that connection holds the person—they have total control over them..
.. which means... the core of this spirituality is perfectly centered... in the fear for one's own life..

.. this spirituality you’re talking about .. its roots actually lie in survival .. in pure self-preservation .. and the very first stage of transforming that idea .. is belonging to a group .. or to certain people .. whoever holds that connection in their hands is the one who truly controls a man .. they hold all the power over him

.. yeah .. you could put it that way .. I suppose it’s just divine intervention at this point .. if you want to call it that ..

.. I was watching this conference on law and medicine recently—some guy named Greg mentioned something that stuck with me. He argued that in today's world, you can't rely on morality or ethics anymore; instead, we have to lean entirely on the legal system. But that raises a massive question—if morality and ethics are gone, what actually serves as the foundation for our laws? Who's left to oversee them... the masses? And whose version of "morality" would they even use?
.. Society is a singular entity—it encompasses everything from ethics and morals to the courts, the law schools, and even the Constitution. It essentially functions exactly how he describes it. When power is delegated, you end up getting exactly what society expects—or perhaps deserves. You get a system tailored to fit those specific standards.

.. Honestly, I feel like the value placed on human life has hit an all-time low lately. I think it’s tied to the sheer amount of fear people are living through—levels of anxiety we've rarely seen before. Fear has become this constant state of being, a driving force. Personally, I suspect evolution will move toward isolating the individual from societal influence at any cost—essentially pitting person against person.

.. honestly .. god .. you exist .. and the world defined by you .. could be anything more significant ..
.. in .. god .. you exist .. and your entire existence depends on .. something other than yourself .. god .. is there anything lesser ..

.. what’s being quoted here... first... there’s the value of a human life... then... another human life as the ultimate value... and finally... an innocent life...

.. and the first point...
.. good people defend every single life... God forbid you'd kill someone like Hitler... unlike God, who burned Sodom to the ground...
.. along with that... isn't this just ideology? isn't this just tailored to suit this world?

.. the second point...
.. someone might be willing to kill—and if it were during a war, everyone would say "great"—but in combat, you’d be killing someone just as innocent as yourself... all for the sake of America or some other nation, or religion, or any similar nonsense... or just for the money of some corrupt bastards...
.. yet, I have a list of names... people who would be dead within five seconds if it were up to me... and I consider that highly moral... actually... divinely moral...
.. that means... I... have made the decision... it means a law has been created within me... it means the reasons have been weighed a thousand times over... it means those on my list cease to be human to me... and the whole situation doesn't even require an outside judge...
.. when I think about them... and their actions... I see the cursed seeds they've sown in so many situations... sure, it’s always possible that you don't know something fully, or you misinterpret things... but when I come back to myself and try to find some sort of justification... I just laugh... if it ever depended on me... they're dead...

.. the question of morality might actually be tied to the concept of strength ..
.. which implies that only the strong can truly afford to be moral .. perhaps because they aren't threatened by doing the right thing .. or maybe just because they simply don't care about the consequences ..
.. following that logic .. people who constantly sacrifice themselves for others at their own expense aren't being moral .. they're just being weak -- and they'll never quite forgive themselves for it ..

.. yeah .. it all comes down to .. the factors at play .. then and now .. .. there’s really very little room left for .. idealization or romance ..

.. there’s just nothing left .. some kind of moral compass .. beforehand ..
.. human connection and respect for one another has fluctuated wildly throughout history .. honestly, it was much better back then than it is today ..
.. what matters right now is this .. people are becoming isolated individuals .. lacking any real love for each other .. even within families, between parents and their children ..

.. those old souls are gone now .. and once the spark catches .. it becomes .. eternal .. and you stay eternal too .. .. do you know what the actual problem with consciousness is .. ? .. it’s that it never ages .. it stays forever young
.. you are the thunder .. the oldest Karamazov archetype .. the first son of the hexagram ..

(.. there isn't much to say to that .. so just act accordingly .. there's no point proving anything by having an answer for every single thing .. damn it all ..)

.. no .. you've got it wrong .. you're sounding like a total hack -- we both missed the mark here ..

.. reason is nothing.. reason is a total joke.. people will trade everything just for a feeling.. it’s only natural for logic to lose its grip--and honestly, that's a good thing.. the more chaotic that inconsistency becomes, the more people will be ready to actually see it.. they'll become witnesses to the truth.. people of faith..

.. regarding the brain and reality..
.. you have to use clear examples so it clicks immediately..
.. take someone like Hitler—he conceives one specific reality.. but that reality doesn't exist yet.. so he starts trying to force it into being.. then he hits roadblocks like Midway or Stalingrad.. the mind won't let go.. it stays convinced that a reality as perfect as the one in his head simply *must* be real.. .. and in the end, it's just a bunker and death waiting there.. damn it.. hoping for some new chance.. .. is that what you meant..? .. well, why not just say so..?

... it’s like when women—just to feel closer to God, I guess—follow all those rigid rules... only to end up staring at those tiny little suburban houses later on... someone once told me... they’re practically starving for that kind of devotion from the big cities
...this guy traveled all over the country... staying with all sorts of different mother figures... while hiding this deep inability within himself to actually change his ways—to fix his manners or truly shine... damn it
...good grief... my god... who on earth gave you a name like that? (..it's so postmodern..)

.. hatred is really just a symptom of feeling powerless .. a way of coping with a reality you can't stand .. and the end goal isn't even to hurt someone or kill them .. it’s just this desperate wish that they simply didn't exist ..
(.. it's how those extremists in Nazi Germany operated .. they viewed people as vermin .. convinced themselves the world would be better off without them .. .. honestly, I think even your parents saw Jewish people through that same lens — as nothing more than usurers .. as beings existing on the fringes of humanity .. .. just silent, cold luxury, like an Audi A8 cruising by ..)

.. No.. you've framed this perfectly.. honestly, it's just our own fear that keeps us from starting to sway the people around us..

.. it’s really about finding some kind of inner peace .. or maybe just following my own internal moral compass .. how am I supposed to look at someone like Hitler and not feel this overwhelming urge to just take him out?

.. yeah ..

---

.. if there weren't penalties involved, we'd run into a massive issue with choice .. but one thing is certain .. in any case ..
.. that’s the struggle .. my own internal moral compass .. it doesn't just tell me that certain people definitely deserve to die .. it actually makes me feel somewhat like a hero .. if I were .. well .. killing them ..
.. and honestly .. it wouldn't be the first time someone felt that way ..
