Step 1: raise reality consciousness of the working class
Step 2: mutual aid and practice magic
Step 3: communist revolution
Step 4: as a communist society, develop further technologies of mind and machine to further unchain our perceptions

Archimedes said “give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to balance it, and I shall move the earth”. I believe science will give us ever more power over our experiences. I already use the astral plane to be Myself, we need to increase access to magical technology and perform more research.

He’s a god. An evil one. Humanity creates gods when they worship ideas. Donald Trump isn’t a man, he’s an idea, festering in the minds of millions of people. His power comes from that belief and reverence. His followers commit all these crimes in his name, and THAT is what it means to be a god.

Princesses are just whores without any honour.

Yes, much in the same way that syndicalism or mutualism are anarchism with extra steps. Soulists are anarchists who are a little more open minded, and willing to challenge a couple more hierarchies. Realism, the belief in an objective universe, is the root of all conservativism, and must be destroyed in order to reach liberation.

This is true, and this is false - source: me?”

No, I don’t have the expertise in indigenous metaphysics to write that dialogue. It was written by James Cross after many long conversations we had about soulism and Tiwi beliefs.

Soulism, put simply, is the theory that hierarchy is bad, and reality is a hierarchy we have the ability to abolish. You can read My manifesto on soulism at http://soulism.net/

As to why I made this comic? If you go to the polcompball wiki page on soulism, you’ll see a disclaimer stating that soulism is fictional. The soulist community has had many arguments with the wiki’s admin team about this label. Today, this comic suddenly came to Me, and I just had to draw it. I thought I might post it somewhere on Lemmy. Blahaj’s soulism community was deleted by the admins, and this was the next best place. I do wish I’d been able to post it to a Lemmy community where the background required to fully appreciate the meme was more normalised, but such communities seem not to last very long. Last year I attempted to create lemmy.soulism.net, but I ran into problems with the cost of VPSes.

When I see a little girl getting excited about Disney princesses and wanting to be one, I see a child being sexually groomed. It’s disgusting and it needs to stop. It’s abusive. We shouldn’t be exposing children to these kinds of messaging. We need to be aware of what our words mean, so we can use them wisely.

Yes, but it would be mean to them.

I knew. I was at one of the protests.

However, the law doesn’t talk about genotype. It talks about gametes. Embryos don’t produce gametes. The law does not specify a difference.

Trump’s new sex definitions are impossible for anyone to meet. Everyone is legally nonbinary now. https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/trump-says-americans-are-all-intersex-not-female-b31f97ffd80d

Here’s the second: https://aussie.zone/post/16690613/14097514

I believe that we can know things. I just don’t believe we can know things objectively. We need a better standard for knowledge than objectivity, because objectivity is worthless.

To claim something doesn’t exist, based on the inductive principle, is to wave away the entire universe with a flick of the wrist as your opening argument.

I would encourage you to read My antirealist manifesto, which argues that reality is a harmful social construct. I’d also like to pre-empt any accusation that antirealism is anti-science, by pointing out My articles advocating for an antirealist future to the application of the scientific method. I in fact believe that any kind of claim to the existence of absolute or objective knowledge is anti-science, and frankly comes uncomfortably close to the inappropriate application of mysticism. You are right when you say that focusing on the tiny chance that we are wrong isn’t pragmatic. Which is why so much of My writing focuses on pragmatism as a better epistemological method than empiricism and rationalism applied for the sake of truth over utility. When I say death is a social construct, I am not saying it’s a useless idea, simply because it’s untrue. I value usefulness over truth, and death is certainly much more useful than it is true.

Don’t worry, I’m still on team “Janeway is a racist and a transphobe”

Thank you for the praise. I actually had the idea for this article while watching Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. There’s a plot in there about someone seeking to permanently end the condition of death for the human species. Late in the show, it’s revealed that everyone who died already can be brought back through some science fiction nonsense the villains have been working on. For a japanese children’s cartoon in the genre of power rangers, it’s remarkably philosophical. It got Me thinking about the meaning of death, and thus, article. I decided to make it about Tuvix because that’s a very well known and clear example of what I’m talking about. The episode with the planet that dumps all their corpses through wormholes would also qualify, but it’s way less fun than arguing whether Janeway is a murderer.

Well I wouldn’t call the article itself a work of science, but it explains the science behind this meme, and I was sure nobody would understand the meme if I didn’t include it.
