Joscha, who is responsible for that lock? And do you truly believe that your independent reality is that singular?

No, it’s not singular at all. I agree 85% with Aristotle on everything, and have almost no disagreements with Kant, Turing, Wittgenstein and even Aquinas. It was such a relief when I noticed that I am not alone.

The lock is the result of my difficulty to fall in shared trance. It’s a painful disability and also what makes me useful to others

And by calling it a shared trance you condescending judge what most of us would call the reality of being human. Rest assured that that POV is not useful to me, but I respect that you believe it is relevant to some.

I am not condescending, just estranged and appalled

I celebrate that you are self-aware of that state of being. A serious question: is this something you wish to change, or are content to remain, and be defined by being on your chosen side of the lock?

I don’t feel that I have a choice about this. I am trying the best I can do in this life.

Please know that I observe that you do have a choice. I have always found you to be intentional and introspective - both very powerful values - and seems to me that there is no law of physics that holds you back. The path will be hard, but it is not outside your reach.

Moreover, I am committed to playing the longest game and to serve civilization. But I don't see a path that leads me to merging with the general human hive mind, i.e. the present culture. It's the mind of a narcissist orkish monstrosity that violates truth and beauty.

It seems to me that on the one hand you celebrate your isolation but on the other you are not at peace with it There is indeed potential for creativity at the intersection of opposites but I would argue if you define yourself only by the tension you run the risk of doing nothing

I am not isolated, I am surrounded by love and friends. But I find that I am connected to others in their spiritual alienation with human society.
