On the nature of the relationship between the subject and the helper spirits that interact with his fate.
We cannot determine the moral alignment of the spirits by this kind of causal interaction alone, since it serves only to aid and strengthen the subject. It is not guidance, in other words. Just empowerment.
However, there is a logical problem here we must contend with to maintain our thesis.
At what point does the intervention occur? If, for example, everything Joe does, he does because of antecedent conditions, then an intervention would be the equivalent of a miracle; a temporary suspension of the nature laws and a change in the course of events.
On the other hand, if the arrow of time theory is correct, spirits couldn’t have intervened and the call was predetermined from the start.
The helper spirits, like god, are faced with the same humean dilemma.
Christianity’s very first instance of sabotage - how it poisons human intercourse - is how it instructs its followers to see, understand and know their neighbors as originally wretched and sinful, and who without obedience to a god, would remain this way eternally.
There is no way to salvage human dignity here. One’s whole life should be spent in shame and nervous fervor to chastise, deny and check oneself before some imaginary moral police.
But this isn’t even the really insightful stuff about it. For that read N’s work. There is a certain set of reasons why the Hebrew/Christian ‘god’ obtained his specific anthropomorphic characteristics as he did, and why, or how, rather, his intention and design was believed to be as it was, like it was - all the way back to the gnostic splitting of the sparks from the source, etc., and every revision and refinement to occur there after in that religious vein… all of which still contains that idea of the original state of forlornness and alienation.
‘gods’ and their natures tend to reflect the psychologies of the people who invent them. They make their ‘god’ like they need him to be in order to understand themselves, e.g., a nomadic tribe in constant struggle to hold property and at constant odds against neighboring tribes and nation states, would need a justification for their suffering. It must be that they are being punished, they reason. But they are also strong people who feel important and destined for fortune if they just persist… and they do. They need a justification for this, too. It must be that they are chosen by ‘god’ to undergo such tests, and r therefore under his protection, etc
In this episode we discuss the timeline of my periods of hospitalization during my early adolescence.
U also get a brief taste of my disgust for my moms. She’s like the mother of the Jewish kid on the big bang theory who’s always nagging and yelling down the stairs at the kid. I can’t fuckin stand her and have been waiting for her to die for like twenty years.
That school Mary E Philips I’m talking about wuz literally like that school with Michelle Pfeiffer. There were maybe fifteen white kids in the whole school. Crack deals would happen in the hallway. I remember one time this kid fucked a girl in the back of the bus on the way home after school. we watched the whole thing. Pretty decent as I recall.
But in general white kids got picked on all the time and had to tribe together. Eventually the white kids turned black and started getting good at basket ball and freestyling. It was here that I learned to beat-box. true story.
Nah bruh I just tried a two track overdub with my phone and tablet… but the sound quality is shit and there’s absolutely no bass and minimal mid range.
U can’t do that if yer gonna beat box. Sound quality is necessary because yer already doing something stupid so it better sound good.
Lol who didn’t see this coming. Musk complains about biden wanting to tax billionaires… and yet he received nearly 5 billion from government aid. And I thought bezos was the biggest piece of shit.
Musk is a coward anyway, he should have backed Trump all the way. He wants to have the cake and eat it too. He wants to be a virtue signaling soy boy but at the same time not live under an oppressive socialist regime.
A man that’s living proof that if you care about made up problems like global warming, you can just build multi-billion dollar companies and solve it. As opposed to international conventions that do nothing and slow no one down that is actually polluting.
There you go Musk. Eat that plate of shit and savour it.
