in retrospect maybe a memetic advantage i don't talk or think much about having is that i was AGI-pilled for long enough that i know what having a totalizing narrative about the most important thing feels like from the inside and i know what it feels like to step out of it

Heh this might be the first time I've seen a recovering person accurately identify "totalizing" as the main sin of AGI-pilled types (and all similarity transforms thereof). It's also why I've tended to dismiss category theory (likely unfairly) as uninteresting because totalizing.

in hindsight it feels like i studied physics bc i wanted answers but instead of thinking about the real questions that bothered me i went straight for ‘how does the universe work’ it’s so surreal (and dumb) to think about now

Without trying to invalidate this journey of yours, something about this feels like it's attacking the notion that that could in fact be someone's true questions. Like the way that the romcom hero always learns that family is more important than work, never the other way around.
