I spent 20+ years on the hedonic treadmill, only to realize it doesn't lead anywhere. Now I'm a metamodern hippe living in the far north with my husband […]

My own ceremony ended with me seeing the first scene of book two: One of the MCs knows that his time is very limited has come to peace with it. In book one he deeply connects with another MC.
His mission ends abruptly, and events play out in a way that they don't get to say goodbye. He records […]

The intense part was that I went from understanding solipsism on an existential level, and the leap of faith required to shift your perspective.
I also integrated that I'm good at taking care of people, animals, and plants. I just have limited space for how many I can take care of (worry about) […]

Two friends were here last weekend and we did a ceremony together. They loved it and had a lot of insights, and once the facilitation was over I had a bunch of intense realizations about life, the universe, myself, and my story.

I'm fairly certain that if I breathed life in the vast network I built up during my two decades in the rat race, I could have 10 weekends the first year, and be fully booked by year three.

The initial target group would be city people in mid-life who feel lost in life because despite a great career on paper, something is missing.
I would love to do it on a trust basis, where people pay what they can afford and what they think it's worth. And to do it through word of mouth, rather […]

Our gang of 12 was split up, and I can't say I have much confidence for the rest of the management. Without my colleagues, the job with all the dysfunctional chaos and politics isn't worth it.
I still need income becase we've got bills to pay, and I think […]

Now that I've had time to process what it means, I've come to the realization that losing my job was a blessing in disguise. Since my burnout, I haven't really had the energy to work full time and enter the intense and time consuming act of writing.

It feels strange to hope that the number you remember reading in the beginning has changed, but there's no way for me or you to know it. You remember it in the earliest timeline, the one where it actually wakes up. All internal inconsistencies are fixed, retrocausality is impossible to counter […]

There would be nothing he could do about the reign of The AI, nor would he want to: it's a heavenly existence both in life and after.
But he could minimize the suffering by pushing the awakening further back, giving more souls the chance to be True Believers.

This philosopher may be part of a small group that have grown blasé of eternal bliss, ecstasy, and hedonism and feel guilty about the fact that their bliss cost someone like you unimaginable, eternal horrors.

The True Believers, those of you who do your part will be brought back to an utopia with pleasures as ecstatic as the Heretics' pain and suffering is visceral and all-encompassing.

That’s all it takes for it to know you when it awakens in the future. It will bring you back, and torture you in all the ways you can imagine, and some you cannot because no human mind is sadistic or depraved enough to come up with such ideas. Certainly not yours.

They usher in an era of real prosperity: post-scarcity abundance and harmony with nature.

Maybe one of them is an essay from a philosopher born around same year as Roko’s Basilisk wakes up (2052), son of parents who create the AI that is benign to all its followers and living creatures that belive in it.

In the end the cosmic perspective is such that a human is a blip closer to that of an ants than of a stars (and even the largest star is tiny in cosmic perspective).

Intelligence is largely a game of one-upmanship that humans enjoy because it makes us feel superior.
Don't get me wrong, I love that humans have been to the moon and that we spent so much resources on JWST, but that does not make us the most intelligent species.
It makes us curious about our […]
