I ordered luscious new gemstones from India and made new earrings for my SA mart thread

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread

I'm really sorry, your avatar is giving me a boner and while that is perfectly OK and I don't want to kink shame anyone, its making me feel really weird getting a boner in a Trump thread.

did you waste you entire youth playing the same old things in band new drag? Over and over
I definitely wasted my my adulthood with a career

dont waste your youth perseverating worthless things because old you will despise young you

Relativity of spacetime is a real thing that I don't understand outside of nerd soundbites.

Relativity of memory is a fake thing that I understand explicitly as describing the entirety of my human experience.

If you are experiencing new things each moment is short but the calendar takes it's sweet time to advance.

If you are stuck in a cycle of repetition each moment is long and the calendar advances at breakneck speeds.

Post childhood is a war of trying to balance these ideas so that you are not stuck in an infinite well of novelty getting nowhere while also not racing to death on a tide of routine and familiarity.

The trippiest thing about the relativity of simultaneity is that this reference frame's present is the future of some other reference frame. And some other reference frame's present is our future. Make of that what you will.

Free will is nearly confirmed to be an anthropocentric wish about our ability to control anything at all. The current quantum point of view offers absolutely no pathway for consciousness to affect quantum resolution of universal data points. There's obviously room in a grand unified theory for magic but most evidence for free will is that it feels wrong when you're a consciousness.

The new hotness on the topic of things that make entirely no difference in your life as a consciousness is whether the universe is being played live and every quantum resolution is randomly decided on the spot or the universe is a static timeline of events that appear random to consciousnesses confined by causality.

Joker card: the universe might be the former but our consciousness may be trapped in the latter ex. We may be a holographic artifact in the event horizon of a black hole which is encoding the universe.

I see you read a lot of hard sci-fi novels lmao

Yes and No. Depends on what matters to you. Though I would put free will and the other things I mentioned in the almost objectively doesn't matter category because it's not verifiable in any way and doesn't change anything regardless if it is true or not.

I mean from any scale other than your own personal scale. From the perspective of galactic super clusters, for example.

True, though, what does 'mattering' mean anyways? Is it just a feeling? Does it have to have an effect? Feelings have a effects and consequences. Conversely, things that occur can matter because they generate feelings of some sort. Do things only matter when it's personal or does it also apply to every scale of human grouping all the way up to a global consciousness?

I don't know. So I guess everything matters and nothing does.

The galactic supercluster is a super-consciousness which is built, among other memory-holding structures, of your consciousness so that it feels fulfilled by your finding things that matter to you so that among other things it is intensely embarrassed by my posting in this topic.

Indeed. I come to your last conclusion. It's both the ultimate liberation and ultimate derivation of purpose, of meaning.

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
If you stay calm when someone is trying to pick a fight with you, it confuses your antagonist. Bonus points if you are calm enough to sincerely ask if there’s anything you can do to help.

If it's actually go time, a high pitched noise coupled with action is highly effective
