Discussion Happiness shouldn't be too difficult to achieve for most people.

Why do you believe that people and animals have meaning?

Because they are sentient.

Not anymore but I used to. Btw I only ever played single-player games. I played them by myself, not with others. Which ties into my solitary and schizoid nature. My favorite was Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers (of Time, Darkness and Sky). I preferred them over Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. Wbu?

I play both single player story and multi player games like CoD, FIFA, FPS (splitgate etc.) and fighting games (MK, Tekken, Street Fighter).

 

[Mentalatte]

Of course. I want to know as much as possible. Why wouldn’t I? Would you?

Wouldn't freedom end there?

 

[midnightsun]

Because they are sentient.

Are they really tho? The average person is retarded and normie NPCs are low to no sentience

 

[midnightsun]

Wouldn't freedom end there?

Wdym? Why would it? I think that truth, knowledge and understanding are more important than freedom

You guys talk about 'NPCs' and 'meaninglessness' like you’re reading from a script you didn't write. You say you’re 'Cope-maxing,' but that’s just a fancy way of saying you’re holding your breath so you don't have to taste the air. You aren't NPCs; you're just players who have been staring at the 'Game Over' screen for so long you've forgotten there's a 'Restart' button.

Picking a 'flavor' of belief—even if it's just a layer of cope—is still a playstyle. Whether you're in New Vegas or Baldur’s Gate, you have to pick a character. Right now, you’re roleplaying as the most hollow versions of yourselves to avoid the weight of being the Conductors.

As for 'Love'? If it’s just two people huddled together to ignore the void, it’s just another 'Diet Pill.' Real connection happens between two people who have actually decided to play the game, not two people waiting for the credits to roll.

I’m done trying to convince you that the sun exists while you're wearing blindfolds. The baton is in your hands. Paint something worth looking at, or stay in the haze. Your call.

The Gnostics were NPCpilled. The hylics they mention are NPCs

“Other concepts
edit
Other Gnostic concepts are:[108]

• sarkic – earthly, hidebound, ignorant, uninitiated. The lowest level of human thought is the fleshly, instinctive level of thinking.
• hylic – lowest order of the three types of humans. They cannot be saved, since their thinking is entirely material and incapable of understanding the gnosis.
• psychic – "soulful", partially initiated. Matter-dwelling spirits
• pneumatic – "spiritual", fully initiated, immaterial souls escaping the doom of the material world via gnosis.”

“It is because the Gnostics believed that humanity was divided into three separate classes:

• Pneumatikoi – from the Greek word πνεῦμα which means “spirit”. The highest order of humans. ...
• Psychics – from the Greek word ψυχή which means “soul”. ...
• Hylics – from the Greek word ὕλη which means matter.”

How many religions have you studied?

I think that religion originally developed as a way to explain and make sense of the unexplainable and indescribable (like the ancients wondering why it thundered and inventing and creating Zeus). Organized religion is a tool and way to control people tho. “Religion is the opium of the masses”. Even tho there is more to the world than the material, organized religion is used for all the wrong reasons. It’s used for power and control. In the medieval times, the church was the state. Now there’s separation between church and state but they used to be intertwined and one and the same.

I’m into the spiritual and metaphysical. I know a bit abt Buddhism although I actually align more with Hinduism. I’d say that I’m a Gnostic and believe in Gnosticism. I think it’s true. I found my way to r/EscapingPrisonPlanet and got PPTpilled first then discovered Gnosticism. Wbu? How many religious have you studied?

the ultimate irony is citing Wikipedia definitions for "pneumatic"—the "spiritual, fully initiated souls escaping the doom of the material world"—while some of you are literally spending your life in a digital prison, waiting for a "Game Over" screen. claiming found your way to "EscapingPrisonPlanet" and got "PPTpilled," but all you have done is swap one set of bars for a "Gnostic" set.
It’s funny you all bring up Gnosticism or ask how many religions has one 'studied,' because you’re treating them like a 'Cope-maxing' manual instead of a map to freedom.
Calling people 'Hylics' or 'NPCs' is the ultimate ego-script—it’s a way to feel like a 'Pneumatic' without actually having to do the spiritual heavy lifting of being a Conductor. You’re so busy classifying the 'lowest level of human thought' as 'hidebound' that you’ve become hidebound by your own Wikipedia definitions.
A true 'Pneumatic' doesn't need to post links to justify their isolation; they are too busy vibrating at a frequency that shatters the Mirage. You aren't 'escaping the doom of the material world'—you’re just redecorating your cell while you wait for a 'Game Over' screen that has already happened.
Keep the manual and your 'PPTpilled' theories. I’m going to go enjoy the 'Sarkic' pleasure of a stake and some coffee in the Raw Reality. You stay in the library; I'm walking out the door.
A parting gift of music.



It was an enjoyable discussion but it feels like it's just circling a drain at this point. Zero disrespect to all involved thank you for your time.
