  This feels like satire, ngl

  I don’t think Gravity is the hierarchy preventing arthritis patients from getting medical care

  Yes. Gravity does not ask one’s consent before pulling.

  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?

    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?

        I don’t really care whether you see gravity as inescapable (though I’m glad the Wright brothers didn’t), but there are other “natural, inescapable laws” that are completely fake, and some people cause a lot of harm by attacking those who break them. And so I want you to be open to the concept of people accomplishing the impossible, so that you won’t be one of those people.

        For example, gender essentialists claim that sex is a “natural, inescapable law”. And that makes them transphobic. Species essentialists claim that species is a “natural, inescapable law”, and not just a convenient social construct biologists use to make their jobs easier. And that makes them kinphobic.

        I want you to open your mind to the impossible and question everything.

  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.

  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.
