It occurs to me that people who experience heavy psychosis or drug induced breakdown of normal consciousness usually report an intense increase in subjective sense of meaning. It's possible that a subjective sense of meaning is a default property of neural networks or even matter, and that detailed or deliberative thought actually dilutes this.
The Cybertruck is literally a deniable assassination weapon. It is designed to be able to kill any passenger or pedestrian kinetically as well as to be able to blow up and send steel shrapnel everywhere in a pinch, and can be activated remotely from a central system that is entirely in the control of a dishonest tech company. Auditing requires taking the truck itself back to Tesla and/or acquiring the data from the central servers, where it can be conveniently molested while retaining a chain-of-custody statement that looks nominally reasonable. Additionally, once people start getting wise you can start actually planting evidence, blaming hackers for the deaths. Tell me I'm paranoid.
Apparently the rate of adult transgender identity has remained constant. I don't believe desistance is common so this would complicate things. At any rate I'm just going to assume that 0.6-0.7% of the population are murdered for being trans and that it mostly happens before adulthood.
Fuck, you know it's possible the "rise" in trans people corresponds to "uncloseting", but it's also possible it corresponds to a drop in deaths. In which case you could calculate the implied trans death rate by subtracting current trans identity rate from previous rate and multiplying against the population. Another thing they'll never simulate.
"to him, the Stonewall riots [...] opened the floodgates to another realm, allowing ancient pagan deities to spill back onto Earth, including the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar, who is resentful at being marginalized for thousands of years and is now seeking vengeance against Christianity."
Allistic people don't have theory of mind. They have cognitive shortcuts that evolved due to intense selection pressure in the ancestral environment. They interpret these phenomenologically as a sort of mystical sacred abstraction. Where autistic people have TOO MUCH theory of mind, in the sense they actually look for casual mechanisms behind thoughts and actions and thus necessarily get it wrong with allistics (who are short circuiting, and constitute the bulk of human beings). Every allistic short circuit is important, because it points to a danger, but you can't ask an allistic why the danger exists, and they perpetuate the danger through their social structure. Allistics interpret the absence of these short circuits as missing an important piece of epistemics or even personhood because they are highly emotionally salient, but it's important to remember that they have zero information content. The allistic does not have internal access to the logic that drives them.
