Dang man, kids can be so considerate. It's really sweet.

That's a great point. In order to be media literate you usually need to understand complex relationships between individuals and the social structures they exist in.

I think you're right, but I don't think most people who use Linux care about whether or not it's popular. Popularity is almost entirely irrelevant to the philosophy.

I think women are cool.

Let alone creatively.

You're a big guy.

But yeah I totally agree. I still feel mortal fear in my daily life, especially in dangerous scenarios.

But isn't that what the ultimate high would feel like? In order to look forward to dying you have to be able to look forward to limit experiences and bad trips, which is insane.

I just hope that if I die in a violent accident I'm listening to "Last Surprise" from the Persona 5 soundtrack because I would really appreciate that.

Not everyone can live a "good" life by your definition of good, but they can live a good life by their definition of good.

Current generations realize that what older people are trying to sell them is a scam, and they're working on building a new better reality based on their fresh perspective on what reality is.

You can look at religion through many lenses, but at the end of the day religion is just an unprovable fiction we choose to believe because it's how we want the world to work. My belief that if you want to live a good life you should do unto others as you would have them do unto you is religious. Game theory and my life experiences support my belief, but it is ultimately an unprovable belief because of Hume's Guillotine and the fact that my definition of "good life" is subjective.

It's 100% possible that I'm just tricking myself into thinking helping other people is good and makes me happy, but I will still choose to believe.

Nah. But reason and logic are just human constructs that you'll get to let go of when you die. The process of being born is indescribable for me. I think the process of dying will also be indescribable by definition.

What if dying feels like letting go of all your pain? I can imagine dying feels good. The best part about dying is you can't be certain what it'll be like. It could be the ultimate punchline, the ultimate letdown, or just utter nonsense as you fall asleep.

Just like life, dying is out of my control so I'm just going to go with it and try to enjoy it as much as I can.

Yeah. As someone who really likes thinking about metaphysics I'm really excited to die and see what it feels like. That being said I also really enjoy living and I'm not in a rush to die. It'll happen eventually and I want to try to do as much as I can while I can.

Everyone should be excited to die, not just religious people. Being excited to die means you lived a good life that you're satisfied with.

The seeds of volition will always bring forth a new challenger.

I had a hard time getting drivers for an RTX 4070 setup on Fedora a couple months ago. Not that I'm everyone, but I'm relatively competent so I could see how it would be an experience many people have shared.
