I am very impressed by this note I wrote way back in 2025-12.

This post is asking exactly the correct questions.
Either do very surface-level bullshit that can be done within a 1 week timeframe (I already know what I need to do), or really think 100 years into the future when technology will have altered everything and what spectrum of values people hold will be very different. Among this spectrum of values, which value differences will be so large as to break your marriage apart, that is the important question. What are the future religons of the world?
How to skillfully transition between type-1 (agree) and type-2 (disagree but accept) without ever moving to type-3 (do not accept). That is the question.

Acceptance

I don't know, I find acceptance not that hard? Like, I could totally murder someone I accept, but I accept them anyway?
Lmao what does accept mean, if you want to change the outcome so badly. I think accept means that okay here is past sequence of events that led to this person being this way, I can't instantaneously mind control into being what I want, my judgement of them does not enough causal power to actually mind control them and hence my judgement (atleast the emotional weight behind the judgement) is not useful.
Steer reality without emotion. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. - Mohammed Ali
Even if I one day commit genocide, I will make sure it is with almost zero emotion. Not hate, not anger, not revenge, not sadness, not grief, but mathematically precision calculation. Which words uttered hit what fault lines in the human psyche?
Right now our (or atleast my) understanding of psychological warfare is very rudimentary. However if I wish to become a ###, I need to learn to play this game like chess. I need to have enough moves on the board available that I can mix and match them.

Becoming an expert at keeping a marriage long-term and becoming an expert at creating propaganda for the masses, both of these things are basically the same skill. Both involve a very deep understanding of how the human mind behaves when put into extreme situations you don't find on day-to-day basis.
I want to understand the depths of human suffering.
This is a full-time job unfortunately, I can't half ass it.
