What I currently believe.
This is a snapshot of how I currently understand reality, morality, society, and my own direction. It is here so future versions of me can see what changed, and so other people can challenge the parts they think I have wrong.
Some of these are strong beliefs. Some are only my current best guesses. I expect them to change when I find better reasons.
These levels connect, but one does not prove the next. My values and political preferences are additional commitments, not facts derived from physics.
PERSONAL OUTLOOK
My current view of existence feels satisfying, tragic, beautiful, temporary, and hundreds of other things at once.
I’m a temporary conscious system embedded in a causal process I mostly don’t understand. My actions are caused, but they still become causes. I can understand some of what is happening, experience the small part available to me, and affect what comes after me.
I still desperately want to see where this goes, but I no longer think reality has failed me if I don’t get to.
