They have seen our addiction to hopium. They are just giving us what we want. Will we seek the pain of the truth over the pleasure of lies? Time will tell.
Huh? Not sure how or why that took such a quick, dark turn. Hopium, absent facts and evidence, is simply unserious. But underpinning all the frivolous “hopium” around here is a strong collection of evidence for real red-pill optimism. And that’s the stuff we need to distill, and share. The mere hopium, and the inside jokes, are genuinely fun around here as a lark, but will appear discrediting when shared outside to those who might be pre-disposed to thinking that’s all we’ve got. And the falsehoods and distortions... we have no genuine use for those, and they should be jettisoned as soon as they are identified as such.
Yes, the truth can often be more unsettling than comforting lies, but the truth will ultimately set us free. And that is the direction where true joy lies.
I agree with everything you typed. You are only echoing my comment. There is no dark turn. Not sure where you’re getting that from. You probably listen to pop music of some sort.
As you said, we have no use for falsehoods and distortions. Easier to just say bullshit, but to each their own.
Truth is just truth. Joy or pain have zero to do with it. Until you get that, you will never see it. You will be lead around by your biases that bring you joy when confirmed. People believe what makes them happy and rationalize backwards from there.
