    I’m not sure if I should feel sad for you, or envious. To be so certain of your own point of view and take pride in not taking other ideas seriously. It must give some sense of calm but at the same time, you miss out on so much. I won’t ask or recommend you anything though, I read the thing. Enjoy your wall staring. Let’s hope it will make the world a better place.

      Dude, get off your high horse. If I read every little thing some rando on the internet threw at me, I would never leave the toilet!

      I don’t find these EA thought experiments interesting. That’s no reason to try to shame me for it.

      I made a decision, please respect that.

        I’m sorry, it seems I misinterpreted your comment by a lot.

        I read about Slavoy Zizek’s philosophy and ideas and in that context, “I would prefer not to” is the ultimate rejection of capitalism and some sort of super-resistance, if I understood correctly.

        I thought you meant to dismiss the whole group of ideas without reading them based on how convinced you are of Zizek’s ideas, and were blaming me for “supporting the system”. That’s why I reacted so aggressively, I’m sorry, that was bullshit.

        P.S. I do tend to get stuck in these rabbit holes of philosophy.
