- Comment on "Reality" is often thought as a paragon of neutrality, being neither good nor bad. So why is a "reality check" ALWAYS felt negatively? 1 month ago:
Reality is bad. Go to soulism.net to read the antirealist manifesto

Are they still allowed to do that if you haven’t spoken to them in years, or do you have to legally disown them to get them out of the equation?

Don’t worry, I’m still on team “Janeway is a racist and a transphobe”
- Comment on Death is a social construct 2 months ago:
Thank you for the praise. I actually had the idea for this article while watching Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. There’s a plot in there about someone seeking to permanently end the condition of death for the human species. Late in the show, it’s revealed that everyone who died already can be brought back through some science fiction nonsense the villains have been working on. For a japanese children’s cartoon in the genre of power rangers, it’s remarkably philosophical. It got Me thinking about the meaning of death, and thus, article. I decided to make it about Tuvix because that’s a very well known and clear example of what I’m talking about. The episode with the planet that dumps all their corpses through wormholes would also qualify, but it’s way less fun than arguing whether Janeway is a murderer.

- Comment on [CULTURAL WARNING: Contains name and image of an indigenous person who has died] On this day in 1855, Aboriginal lawman and resistance leader Dundalli was executed in Brisbane 2 months ago:
What I have heard from indigenous people I’ve spoken to, and I have no idea if this is the reason for all Aboriginal cultures, is that it keeps dead people from getting into the afterlife and staying there. If people in the mortal world keep saying their name, they’ll get distracted and have a harder time staying in the afterlife where they belong. They’ll be stuck coming back to the mortal world to see who’s calling their name.
It’s like the western concept of ghosts having unfinished business. An emotional tie that prevents them from moving on.
Once they’ve been dead for a hundred years, it’s fine. They moved onto the next phase of their existence in the universe a long time ago.
