  1. Need for meaning is what creates the illusion. Rationality is not here to entertain our fairy tails but to crush them and to leave us in a state of nihilistic despair ❤

  2. Search for professor Sapolsky, imo he's a master of that. Some oriental stuff can give you vertigo on this subject too.

  3. As an existential construct, gender is bullshit made of vague norms and prejudice. Gender dysphoria is a bad concept. Far more accurate are terms like sexual dysmorphophobia and transsexual for speaking about organisms willing to and actually modifying their very bodyly sex characteristics. Sex and associated behaviors are the results of hormones. Essence is real, existence is BS

  4. For Butler, and post modernists in general, existential experiences from mundane consensus and inner feelings are reality. Essence is reduced to the idea of it, it is trivialized. I absolutely strongly disagree from an ontological point of view. What makes a TW a woman is estradiol. It is the representations that are trivial. Social construct has no reality, it is maya, the illusion mankind is captive by.

  5. Since this has become the central axiome in my life, I am way less psychotic, because nothing matters really. Depression hasn't recessed though. Maybe I'll do stuff about it, but it's not up to me. Nothing is. Obviously. My therapist struggle to accept that. Denial by fear of nihilistic depression, no doubt 😂
