Yes. Gravity does not ask one’s consent before pulling. If one has arthritis or chronic fatigue, gravity will hurt them. I believe in building technology to challenge the dominance of this law, such as wheelchairs, fitness programs, and science fiction antigravity machines.

This feels like satire, ngl
I don’t think Gravity is the hierarchy preventing arthritis patients from getting medical care

There would not be life without gravity though…

True, but that doesn’t make gravity all good. It puts gravity on about the same ethical standing as an abusive parent. If we can find a way to improve gravity, we should do it.

Lol you lost me here.
What about oxygen? We’re enslaved by it. We can’t escape it. What are you guys doing about it?
Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 1 month ago
Not much. Oxygen is much lower on the list of priorities than capitalism and pluralphobia.

You technically answered my question, but that verges in strawman territory, man. I was talking about the absurdity of considering gravity a form of human oppression. Can you tell me why I shouldn’t see it as absurd, given that it’s a natural, inescapable law?

Interesting. It sounds like soulism is very similar to anarcho-transhumanism, but with a spiritual component, is that correct?

Many soulists believe in two different branches of soulist thought: scientific soulism and spiritual soulism. I disagree, I think magic is a science and spirituality can be a technology. But there are soulists who reject spiritual means of changing our perceptions, and there are spiritual soulists who do not use the scientific method. So to answer your question: sometimes.
