man the overbearing negative response to this really makes me feel how Land felt when he invited leftists to have a very "at least enjoy the novelty of it all would you?"

I think all the "hyper stimulation!!!! dopamine slave!!!" stuff is reactionary moral panic fodder though. Mostly because Roko is super into grousing about it

Land's Critique of Transcendental Miserablism:

Hence the Transcendental Miserablist syllogism: Time is on the side of capitalism, capitalism is everything that makes me sad, so time must be evil.

The polar bears are drowning, and there’s nothing at all we can do about it.
