I’m fifty at the end of 20 Dec 2024, I’m a Seattle homeowner and housekeeper living with my long-time partner Daria and her metamour Gravis (q.v. “Cathode Ray Dude”, Gravis’s YouTube channel), I have three college degrees (a worthless B.S. in Computer Science, a very useful B.A. in Classics, both earned 1999, and a mostly worthless M.S. in Chemistry from 2012), and I’m curious what you all chatter about!

I have no idea whether I can post anything here yet but I’ll try to answer: all other arguments other than the one from basic chemistry are irrelevant. organic life may be easily construed as a controlled combustion of organic fuel, one drawn over a very long span as opposed to happening all at once like an actual fire, and that is a chemical reaction that proceeds in the direction of increasing entropy: all organic foodstuffs are in the condensed phase (liquids and solids) and their combustion processes are gases. Ergo, organic life increases entropy over all. Simple, right? ~Chara
All right! I thought I’d give this a whirl. I’ve had a few words for M. Eliezer S. Yudkowsky on Twitter, or on “X as envisioned by the deathless genius of Elon Musk” I should say. Of course I never got any response to the words but I was never expecting one so that’s all right! I believe that my friend Monophylos (or Mono the Unicorn) can say much the same.
Is this place actually active? It looks like it might be, at a trickle; I can’t imagine the popularity of this “dark intellectual” stuff has been doing so well lately, especially now that everyone gets to see what it’s done to J. D. Vance. (Hoo boy there’s something wrong with that kid.)
Anyway! Looking forward to the lively Debate™, or to getting summarily booted out. One of those two!

″...they don’t need to cling to a narrow concept of self-as-an-instance.”
nobody else does, either. stopped reading after this scrap of nonsense, sorry. do you people actually think about this shit before you type it out? ~Chara of Pnictogen
