Oh my god, these are real, actual slides from a SoftBank presentation. Pulitzer-worthy

@nyx @nepetalactone

@yohan maybe . idk , my worldview is frustratingly internally-contradictory and i feel like it needs a massive overhaul . the only things that i consistently believe in are the centrality of love and anti-dualism

@shinyjirachi @yakmacker @yohan upon some reflection this is kind of basically worse baudrillard from first principles . i should really just shut the fuck up tbh

pointless website

@nyx no

@yohan from my relatively uneducated point of view my own views seem to align with nihilism pretty often . although this could just be my poor understanding of nihilism

im probably more of a nihilist than i think tbh

@shinyjirachi @yohan @yakmacker my stance agrees with baudrillard . the simulacrum is true

@yohan @yakmacker this applies to gender in a pretty obvious way . a lot of assimilationists try to redefine trans people as Genuine Women/Men and fail to recognize that such a thing doesn't exist and never has , and perpetuating the construct of authenticity is necessarily exclusionary to anything that doesnt fit the ideal . it's also important to note that the construct of authenticity carries with it an (in my opinion irreversibly established) value judgment ; the Genuine Article is better than its simulant

@yohan @yakmacker yeah any individual thing is as legitimate as any other thing which is not at all . if a thing simulates another thing there's no meaningful value difference between the two

@yakmacker @yohan true . a lot of things get very close though

@yohan an identical copy of a thing is exactly as authentic as the original

authenticity is completely fictitious and any argument about whether something is genuine is stupid and pointless

@slu7 oh yeah for clarity's sake my post isnt about you specifically it's just to add to the other stuff . nonspecific you

@slu7 everything is defined by the way it interacts with its surroundings YOU ALSO must interact with the world to exist in it

IF YOU DONT DO ANYTHING YOU ARENT ANYONE. SORRY
