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.

And “serving civilization” may be a dangerous long game if the only expected outcome is a few minds that “get it” being tortured in isolation within the ignorant trance of the masses (do they even count as civilized in your worldview?)

I would add that civilization doesn’t care one whit whether you think you are serving it in the long term or not. To say so may make your quest sound noble in the face of suffering but ultimately one has to come to grips with one’s own happiness.

You and I always seem to find some common ground

We never met, and Twitter is not a high fidelity medium. I don’t feel seen but I like what I can see.

What would it take for you to feel seen by me? We all see to see and be seen, to know and be known. Seems to me that this is something fundamentally human.

It‘s ok; I feel that you are well intentioned and a beautiful human being. I think we may be prone to misunderstandings due to lack of context. Or perhaps you see something about me that I don’t, which gets in the way. Resolving that may require spending time together.

Perhaps we will serendipitously run into each other one day, but I don’t have an unanswered need to be understood :)

Btw, I get the sense that you may be afflicted with a similar issue as myself, a level where default human interaction persistently insults an aspect of your dignity. I may cope by playing the dissatisfied fool, perhaps you cope by playing the well adjusted clown?
