Well, “no objective reality” is a lot more accurate to the truth of the world than any alternative. It might not be as narratively satisfying as a story where objective truths exist, but I suspect the human desire for objective truth is a cultural value that would be in our best interest to shed.

It’s called a looped timeline pair. Timeline 1 creates timeline 2, and timeline 2 creates timeline 1. Both timelines exist on an alternating basis. It’s one of the results of the bootstrap paradox. When people think of the bootstrap paradox, they usually think of single looped timelines. Those appear in media all the time. Harry Potter, Gargoyles, etc. But an unstable set of timelines can also stabilise across two, three, or more timelines instead of just one.

Out of the infinite versions of you in the multiverse, half win the lottery and half don’t. Which one your consciousness inhabits is pure luck.

That’s because anthropologically, realism is pretty new. The idea of a single objective truth to encapsulate the whole universe was an idea invented by the Romans. And everyone knows what the Romans did to religious diversity in Europe. Most cultures in the history of the world have to some degree acknowledged the subjectivity of perception and the self-contradictory nature of “objective truth”.

I’m part of a political movement that opposes Roman/Abrahamic style realism. We believe it’s the cause of the crusades, slavery, the nakba, the holocaust, the witch trials, and all of history’s other greatest atrocities. True freedom will only come when we are free to perceive differently than those in authority. To live in a different perceptual universe.

It should say “gods are a fairy tale”. “god is a fairy tale” is misleading grammar if you don’t mean there’s one. You wouldn’t say “gremlin is a fairy tale”, you’d say “gremlins are a fairy tale”.

That depends on your definition of the word “god”. Einstein certainly wasn’t an Abrahamist, he was a pantheist. He believed the entire universe was comprised by a divine whole.

You shouldn’t use “god” as a proper noun. No one being owns the concept of being a god. You’re just legitimising Abrahamism, you’re not helping the atheist cause. Helping Abrahamists erase polytheism doesn’t lead to more atheism, it leads to more Abrahamists.

All that being said, this isn’t really anything you can live by. At least I can’t. Most metaphysics are so much shit on a prick and untestable.

Oh, I live by anarcho-antirealism, and it’s been very helpful in My life. For example, I used chaos magic to cure My girlfriend’s sleep apnea - https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/curing-sleep-apnea-with-magic-vi-s-spellbook-d1c6f1658cdb

Here’s a theroy: holding power and wealth in modern society may not be strongly correlated with an accurate view of objective reality but is strongly correlated in strongly believing you have an accurate view of objective reality

I actually disagree with this as well. The rich and powerful certainly act like they believe in reality, because it’s a useful tool for them. But they don’t truly believe. They correctly understand the scientific fact that perception is belief, and so they manipulate public belief through the news media to rewrite the universe in their favour. Rupert Murdoch is probably the person who understands and practices this the best. His news empire rewrites consensus reality to favour Capital. This is bad, and we need antirealism so we can take this power away from the rich and “seize the means of perception”.

Well the former president of the united states doesn’t know that Israel is bad either, so knowing something he doesn’t know isn’t very hard.

Whoops, I’m too used to typing an S in web addresses. The link should work now.

I think people are trying to work off of objective reality, and that’s a problem. For example, TERFs correctly understand that gender identity is subjective, but they make the mistake of thinking sex is objective. Because they’re committed to working off objective reality, they believe sex is more important than gender, and dismiss gender. Thus, all their transphobia. If they didn’t believe in reality, they wouldn’t be TERFs. They’d value the subjective construct of sex and the subjective construct of gender identity equally in terms of truth, and recognise that gender identity is important to our wellbeing. I wish people didn’t try to follow reality.

Money is a god. It has no existence in the physical world. In the physical world, it’s just paper, common metals, and bytes. But in the social world, it’s the arbiter of law, morality, life, and death. It controls all of society. I can’t think of a better example of a god.

You may be aware that money isn’t truly real, but you still engage in its rituals, live life as it demands. It has become your social reality. We must acknowledge that all things are subjective, so we can destroy them if they do wrong. There is no objective truth, we decide our world.

You’re welcome. I’m an anarcho-antirealist. You can read our manifesto at http://soulism.net/.

I firmly believe that reality is the “final boss” of leftism, and that no socialist movement will see long term success while we believe in reality. We live in a subjective world created by capitalist media, and we must seize the means of Creation - the social process of deciding what is true about our world. Whether it be interpreted as propaganda, spirituality, science, or law.

When we admit that the world is not objective, we take away the ability for leaders to control us with Creation. We weaken hierarchical religious structures, and strengthen collaborative systems like science.

The belief in an objective reality is precisely what motivated the crusades, the nakba, and most other genocides. They believed in reality, and they believed their experience of the divine was objectively true for all others. Thus, that their actions were justified.

Peace will only happen when we admit that our perceptions aren’t objective. The gods who talk to us in our sleep exist because we believe in them, not because of an external reality. There’s no such thing, and admitting subjectivity is the only way to accept differences and make peace.

Moving away from paper ballots is one of the steps in their plan to subvert democracy and lose elections

Damn, I forgot the constitution was racist

He’s popular with the voters. He’s going to stomp New York, and then he’ll start looking at the presidency. And he might win that, too. And then they’d have to pass bills, and their donors would be mad.

They’d rather run bad candidates and lose.

Exactly! The American Israel Public Affairs Committee donated 51.8 million dollars to the Democrats in 2024. How much of that was spent on advisors that they vetted?

They didn’t even have to tell her to support Israel’s “right to defend itself”, though they certainly did. Far more insidious, they could have told her all sorts of bad advice calculated to make her lose. Like that the “weird” thing was alienating voters and should be toned down. Then she loses while thinking she’s getting good advice, and they get Trump to declare war on Iran instead!
