    Humans left to themselves have issues. Folks that have problems with skin color and cultural diversity are not going to be any better off (or better behaved) in a well populated #Universe

  4. The individual is the "atomic unit" of #morality. Sort of like the atom is to chemistry. From a moral standpoint, the level of the individual is really where all the action is. The best place to find it, to exercise it, to appreciate it, and to improve it. Each instance in its own (possibly unique) way.

    A corollary: we should exercise caution whenever joining or supporting groups or collectives. Since all but the most courageous of them will want our morals always to closely match theirs in order for our contributions to be optimized. Or perhaps even noticed.

  9. "Tribalism" as in sectarian, belligerent, cultish or bigoted/racist is a racist term. Tribes are already a racialized concept but the idea that they were inherently any of these things is just made up.

  19. [P] "Who owns this land? Which tribe?" None. No one. "Then how do you separate this land from others, which are inferior, and full of savages to be defended against?" We don't do that. There're no savages here. "But everyone from a strange land is a savage! The only way to save them is to assess them, and then brainwash and assimilate the worthwhile vassals, dismissing or killing the rest!" How horrid. We don't do that.

  22. [P] The ability to separate people like this into groups of superior vs. inferior based upon familiar traits is itself an expression of narcissism. Q.E.D. all hiverarchians are narcissistic. This difference of narcissism as an excess defines this world, whereas a world of reduced or non-existent narcissism would function so conversely it would be repugnantly alien to hiverarchians. "Who does this land belong to?"

  25. [P] The claim that an able person is better is narcissism, it focuses on the traits of the able one and blithely ignores what others might bring, this belief of one set of traits being superior to another is an expression of narcissism. The same goes for racism, that the traits of a brown or black person are inferior, instead of merely different, is an expression of narcissism. Different is objectively just different.

  28. [P] And because patriotism is narcissism, patriotism is also racism, ableism, prejudice, and bigotry. This concept of patriotism can only exist in a hiverarchian world, because neurofivergents don't exercise narcissism. Any separation of in- and out- is an expression of narcissism, the supremacy, beauty, and perfection of the in-. As such, tribalism is narcissism. Better vs. Worse is an expression of narcissism.

  31. [P] In the same way as a neurodivergent has no appreciation for tribalism and hierarchy, there'd be none for lines on a map, either. The two go hand-in-hand, to appreciate lines on a map, one must appreciate tribalism. It's a very human narcissism to say that "We drew lines on a map, so we are gods here, nature serves us, and no outsiders can enter." Patriotism is narcissism. All hiverarchians are narcissists.

  34. [P] A reason I want a neurodivergent world, as an ideal, is specifically because everything that makes a hiverarchian a hiveraechian—obscene tribalism, fetishised hirrarchy, worship of monsters who lack wffective empathy, and brainwashed out-group hatreds—is missing from neurodivergent brains. The reality of this is seen in the treatment of non-native ethic/disabled immigrants. It would all be entirely different.

  47. How is a purely artistic illustration (not photographic, realistic, or informative in any way) a terrible crime against humanity?

    Seems there is no room in the world for moderate, rational thinking any more.
