  • It’s called a looped timeline pair. Timeline 1 creates timeline 2, and timeline 2 creates timeline 1. Both timelines exist on an alternating basis. It’s one of the results of the bootstrap paradox. When people think of the bootstrap paradox, they usually think of single looped timelines. Those appear in media all the time. Harry Potter, Gargoyles, etc. But an unstable set of timelines can also stabilise across two, three, or more timelines instead of just one.

    Out of the infinite versions of you in the multiverse, half win the lottery and half don’t. Which one your consciousness inhabits is pure luck.













  • Actually, The Incredibles is anarcho-antirealist. I know many magic users who are afraid to use their powers in public because of what society will think of them. I’ve never met anyone who couldn’t use magic if they tried, but the sad fact is, only some people choose to be special. And society IS holding us down. We need to promote a culture that encourages everyone to engage with the arcane, explore their gender&species identity, and form their own spiritual beliefs. Instead of this current culture where we pretend magic doesn’t exist.

    Magic has the potential to liberate us from the consensus reality promoted by Capital. We can build new universes. And people are scared of that power. They’re scared of us people who are willing to use that power. But what they don’t realise is that billionaires and the media are already using that power. Already creating reality and forcing us into it. It’s like in the movie, how everyone has 70s tech at the latest, and yet the government has mind erasing devices and buys weapons from Syndrome. There’s a technology inequality. We need to be willing to take hold of the power of the technology of reality bending if we want to protect ourselves.

    Superheroes may be illegal, but supervillains still exist.


  • but voters do want someone who’s going to address the bread and butter problems they’re facing.

    Nah mate, common myth. The Greens had a way better plan for the bread and butter problems - create a government department for building housing, end negative gearing, cap rent increases, put dental in medicare, build free GP clinics, 50c transport fares, wipe all student debt, 800$ back to school payment, free school lunches, make supermarket price gouging illegal, increase wages.

    What voters want, is something comfortable and familiar that makes them feel like they’re opposing Trump, without having to actually think or learn anything. They want the status quo.



  • Nobody wants to let Dutton be another Trump

    Trump is dismantling the US government so his billionaire friends can buy it. He’s not building a global populist movement, he’s siezed power and he’s using it for petty, selfish ends. The whole world can see it plainly

    The rise of fascism in the US may have heralded worldwide rises in conservativism for a time, but now that Trump has absolute power, he’s not bothering to hide his intentions. It’s swung back the other way, now the US is making the world less fascist

    Fascism’s win condition is always its own destruction. It’s a death cult. It can’t win worldwide because it promotes selfish leaders who sabotage the movement for personal enrichment

    It’s gonna be okay, everyone


  • Step 1: raise reality consciousness of the working class
    Step 2: mutual aid and practice magic
    Step 3: communist revolution
    Step 4: as a communist society, develop further technologies of mind and machine to further unchain our perceptions

    Archimedes said “give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to balance it, and I shall move the earth”. I believe science will give us ever more power over our experiences. I already use the astral plane to be Myself, we need to increase access to magical technology and perform more research.
