#even in this real life we struggle towards and grapple with metaphysics and the ineffable

[apocryphics]

this dream billionaires have of draining this planet and going elsewhere is nothing but pure delusion and ignorance. this world is all we have. this earth and no other. to go elsewhere may be possible but we would no longer be us. and this is so connected to how we have doubled our world with the internet & how our brains have convinced ourselves that the physical, the real, the here, the now, is all replicable and disposable. the precise value of the here and the now, the incarnated present, is what makes life valuable. we cannot duplicate life. this illusion that we will be able to replace something will be our end. life is precious because it ends. you are precious because no one else is you. nothing is replaceable, least of all this earth. how precious it all is and how arrogant we are to think it easy to leave this all behind. as joyce said the longest way round is the shortest way home. when they realize this they will not have a home to return to and that is their fate.

op tags are as important

#and this excitement around simulation is fueling this insane delusion#it will never be anything but mere re-presentation. mimesis of the lowest order. a frail shadow of real life.#even in this real life we struggle towards and grapple with metaphysics and the ineffable#every iteration and copy will only become more diluted and will have to answer to entropy#we are not of this earth. we are the earth.#we have one home!!! one home. one anchor
