Loving this image and the #scifi #future #writing prompt. AI's creations inspire a lot of good aesthetic ideas.
"But all property rights are derived from the principle that (on the horizontal plane) I own myself and my time--that I am a unique individual with unique volition, unique purpose, and unique wants."
Self-ownership - and the idea of a unique, individual Self - is a #Gnostic premise, which is why #private property rights are inseparable from a Gnostic morality and worldview. This is also why it is fundamentally incompatible with Christianity, where you do not own yourself, your interests do not matter, and you have no right to your determine your own #fate - other than to submit to puppeteering or die, of course.
Ayn Rand misses this too. She is absolutely correct on the #Self being the highest moral entity, but cannot articulate a legitimate "why" due to due her anti-mysticism bias. The "why" is #spiritual.
Self-ownership and the rights derived of it are not permissions or responsibilities given to Selves by some higher power and, therefore, potentially subject to being suspended or taken away at some point. They are intrinsic to the #nature of Selves as emanations of the Alien God. They are properties of self-consciousnesses - which necessarily and inalterably has supremacy over matter. This is why the Self owns the body and not the other way around, which would be a perverse (and demiurgic) assertion.
Objectivism is Secular #Gnosticism. Similar to how Marxism is Secular Catholicism. It is a good look at the premises and logical conclusions of a Gnostic morality and worldview.
I am not a Christian.
I am a Gnostic.
No, neither a "Christian Gnostic" nor contaminated by Catholicized reddit "gnosticism."
"save this earth"
"improve their life with 'positive thinking' and 'being good'"
That is absolutely not Gnosticism. Where in the world are you learning about "gnosticism?"
Those are just the natural trains thoughts that fly out of Catholicism.
I also hate the mix up.
This is not Gnosticism. This is New Age.
No.
This was not supposed to happen.
Idk. Feels different.
Any countries you think will fair well? Or better than us in the west?
#Life is worthless without Self-expression. There is no point in #survival, reproduction, consciousness, etc... without being able to pursue a Self-interested existence. It's all about #Self-actualization, even the potentiality of it.
Otherwise, we'd all just be slaves, toiling away, living shit life (aka "at our need"), either just for the collective to carry on in this worthless, survivalist manner in perpetuity, or for the nihilistic sake of being some Sky Being's conscious puppet.
Wow, Roger that. Thanks for letting me know that being able to delete your own content is CENSORSHIP.
And, the only conceivable reason that a person would delete some of their own content is because a government tells them to. Silly me, thinking that being able to restrict, revise, and/or destroy your own content is freedom.
I now know that only an immutable and publicly available record of everything a given individual has ever said is freedom and curating your own online content and representation is bad.
This sounds like a perfectly reasonable way for humans to live together and engage in everyday communications.
To own your content is to own the distribution and accessibility of it.
With barely functional "delete" buttons, I would say the opposite.
Not sure I want satellites to be stationary and dark, now.
That's a very cool sight.
I wish there were much more people who were future-minded both in the chronological sense and in the #futurist sense.
I have tons of topics I need forecasts and speculation upon, but it seems like there's too few people interested in these topics. Stuff like:
Are #QR codes an enduring mode of information transfer? Or are they going to be a dated relic of the 10s and 20s a decade from now because we've found something better?
A #blog or a #podcast about technological developments and their #future impacts on specific business tactics, industries, and fields would be something I'd regularly listen to.
It's one of two things:
Nature & IQ
or
An Evil/Incompetent Demiurge
The good news is: it doesn't really matter because there is no difference - only a level of abstraction. The situation is the same regardless, and so is the ameiliorative approach:
A #Gnostic morality and worldview.
Reject the natural order. Pursue objective knowledge of your reality. Change your reality to suit your Self.
That is what a soul should be doing.

Both Secular and Mythic versions of Gnosticism exist and are relatively accessible out there.
We should do the same.
This is true. Ancient Gnosticism comes from the Greek mystery religions. It is very obvious. Most likely from Orphism.
Gnosticism itself, however, is emergent.
