    Woah there cowboy,

    We’re still closer to rival monkey tribes hurling our shit at one another as it exits our anuses than we are some benevolent civilization with noble pursuits like knowledge.

    Don’t worry, a few more pointless world wars and population decimations born out of glorified sociopathy, and our species might actually develop admirable priorities beyond tribal resource hoarding from the ashes.

    When humans are no longer interested in keeping up with some Kardashian descendant, perhaps we will have stumbled into an age of reason. Seems like as good an indicator as any.




  • Cypher was factually correct in acknowledging that knowledge is pain.

    Cypher was ethically wrong choosing willful ignorance because he made it other people’s problem.

    I prefer the pain of truth to the bliss of ignorance. It is the source of meaning I have chosen in life.

    The strong stare the ugly truth in the face without hope or expectation, the weak wake up in their bed and believe… whatever they want to believe.

    The propagation of pleasant willful ignorance is the main mechanism allowing most of our global crises to proceed.
