It’s enough to stop pretending. In an evolutionary lens, our species is in its infancy. Intelligent civilization is a fraction of that existence. It will be another million years for things to level out and be stable from millennia —>millennia.

This is the truth that many ANCAPS can't accept.

That’s eternal life. Life after death. We each carry some seemingly insignificant genetic remnant of our most distant ancestor. Every relationship, every connection, every human interaction effects us in a profound way.

You give your best traits to your offspring. Downloading the best, most refined version of software as you possible can. You continue to update that code, continuously, until you die. Even the effects you can have on someone that your not related to will alter their DNA for generations to come. It is through our offspring that we can survive into the future after our solitary human journey.

This is why you should practice the NAP, imagine if we all treated each other as if our interaction would effect them and their offspring for generations to come.

You don’t need to personify some drawing, or imaginary deity, or conflated historical characters. Just treat each other as if we all share an equal and vested interest in the future welfare of our species.

There’s legacy for ya...

"agree & amplify" was a neat trick I picked up from the manosphere.. seems to be effective when attempting to communicate with primarily emotion/ego where reason/facts/math are useless
