Today I properly talked to an IFS protector "world is fundamentally bad". His straregy was to escape and he tried to use LW transhumanism as an escape path. Tough luck: the world was bad because of never-ending emotional debt and EA made this much worse

I wonder how many cults, implicitly or explicitly, are predicated on something like “fundamental not-ok-ness is real and eternal”—hell, essentially. It’s like starting with a contradiction—from there you can “prove” anything.
