  • I have always felt like a highly sensitive person in general. I know there’s a lot of pop-psych stuff around that term, but I’ve really always felt that way. Getting into a verbal altercation with someone, including family has always rattled me inside, makes me feel all fucked up. Same with seeing something highly sad, It’s hard for me not to just be incredibly sad, such as weeping, versus being able to contain it. Same with anger, and so on.




  • Indeed I have passed out, many times. It’s always a terrible experience, or, incredibly uncomfortable probably. It feels like I’m losing my mind when I’m passing out to be completely honest. It feels almost psychedelic coming out of unconsciousness for me. Excluding anesthesia, more thinking about passing out while getting blood drawn or from heat or something.

    I wish the idea of simply fainting from existence was comforting, but historically that phenomenon has always been uncomfortable as hell for me.


  • In terms of afterlife, I would say I’m agnostic. When i say I have appreciation for the Dharmic religions, I don’t mean that I believe in the supernatural aspects of those religions, more that I appreciate the philosophical undertones present within them. Specifically stuff like Indra’s Net, or anything that stresses that “things aren’t really things, but things are the relationships between things”, if that makes sense. Just the stuff that stresses interconnection and nuance, i find that I can really appreciate and see a lot of crossover with systems science and Marxism. Also, Swami Vivekanda has written some very interesting texts on Socialism based on his time in the USSR, which I found pretty interesting.

    I do agree religion isn’t the end all, be all, and i generally have disdain for religion, i do find that those philosophies have a lot to be appreciated, especially when compared to the purely black and white thinking of abrahamic religion.
