Post scarcity is kind of an odd man out here. The idea predates tech broism by a solid half century, and informs a lot of contemporary leftist theory. There is nothing inherently wrong with using utopian thinking as a guiding principle for iterative policy. I'd argue that anything which doesn't do that is cynicism.

I choose death

Stellaris players: How it feels to have a Spiritualist empire on one side of your border and a Materialist empire on the other.

We are all stardust though. Billion-year-old carbon.

im not even joking i will sooner become a shaman that lives in the middle of the woods than a techbro im so done with tech i swear

It’s kinda funny how popular Angel numbers are, when they were made up in the 90s someone who freely admits they are bullshit.

I take exception with the mixing of the stone cold fact that we're all stardust with all that other crap.

It is good to be able to vape some weed and watch beautiful videos about amazing mind-blowing shit that actually exists, and not automatically entertain whatever magical/religious/supernatural idea is making the rounds in your neck of the woods.

we will make global anarchy by tomorrow. no more money, capitalism and suffering, trust

I choose neither, and instead day dream about fully automated luxury gay space communism, knowing I'm gonna die before such a thing could ever come to fruition.

I choose not to be an idiot.

I want science and progress, but progress at the service of the wellbeing of mankind, not to enrich idiots who outsourced their critical thinking to chat GPT.

Basically the dark shadows of the Hippy Age Of Aquarius and sandal-wearing tech Utopianism corrupted Into evil by the baby boomers ageing into the dominant political class in the West.

I just want to drop in and call out "death is a design flaw" specifically. It is not. Without death, there can be no evolution, and any change to the environment is extinction.

The mountains seem eternal, but there were forests before many of them, and though the trees will be different in the distant eons when the mountains are worn to nothing, the forests will live on.

¿Por qué no los dos?

I don't know how to put this to you guys but the one on the right is significantly more plausible than the one on the left.

Also I don't like turmeric.

This is so overwhelmingly hyperbolic I’m not sure what to take from it

post-scarcity society

RAM prices going up

Well, I'm already sort-of the right one. I made an AI organize my documents, suggest articles for me to learn from, etc. I vent to AI, I ask AI for advice, AI is secretly running my life in the background.

Option 3:

Weed Wizard

I once liked the idea of being part of some new age, neo pagan group and mindset and being 'outside the mainstream' but the more time passes the more I regress into a hole of solititude that no one can breach.

Even last summer I wanted to see if I could finally go out and find a girlfriend... now I am seriously going back in my hole.

I have met the guy on the right irl. He was unbearable
