I just had a look at your link and it was a vision of madness.

Ironically there is some genetic evidence of intermarriage between early modern humans and neanderthals, however its only present in people who's ancestors lived side by side with neanderthals, aka white people. I supposed that means we should give up our dreams of world domination and bow down to the innate genetic superiority of the other races. Unless , for some reason Dark Enlightenment thinkers mean something else when they talk about violent neanderthal descended individuals.

DE proponents can't be all that like Italian Futurism because right there it says IF hates utilitarianism, and if there's one thing hyper-rationalist internet-thinkers love it's discussing how suffering and inconvenience are totally fine to visit on massive percentages of the population to enrich a slim majority. :v:

But seriously. They're both a curse.

Isn't that literally the exact opposite of utilitarianism? Short of a hypothetical utility monster scenarios utilitarianism is about trying to do the maximum amount of good for the largest number of people. The increased utility of the rich getting slightly richer is not even in the right order of magnitude to counteract the decreased utility or the poor being unable afford basic necessities.

I will enjoy it even more when Aurini's chrome dome explodes like the galaxy's greasiest death star when Episode 8 features a gay romance between Finn and Poe instead of the expected straight love triangle.

Ahh the rare and dangerous reverse Legend of Korra maneuver, only the most devious or suicidal agents of the Cathedral would even dream of attempting it.
