“In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins.” (1 Jn. 4:10)
Have you ever suffered from insomnia? You cannot think about anything, you cannot focus on anything, you cannot do anything. You just have one overwhelming thought in your mind: to go to sleep. Imagine that forever and ever. That is far worse than any physical pain one can experience.
Meanwhile, there will be many sensual delights in the New Jerusalem, but the best one will be the freedom to sleep any time you want.
This is a euphemism. Please don't use it.
In 10 years, the world will be in deeper social disintegration due to clashing personality types, in addition to the fact that the dinosaurs holding onto the current economic system will be resisting transition to a more logical economic system.
In 100 years, humanity will have completely rebuilt the international social order due to climate change, and new technology in addition to thr rediscovery of old technology (e.g. nuclear) will be implemented to deal with the new agricultural and geographic realities caused by climate change. We'll also have mass migrants from Africa to more climate hospitable regions like Canada.
1,000 years into the future is very far. It could be possible that we're living in a world where AI is the dominant form of intelligent life, but I still don't think humanity will have left the solar system. Traveling extreme spatial distances is extremely difficult in this type of universe.
Any feedback?
PROFESSOR: Well, you see, there are different objects, like strings and numbers, that are shaped differently, so we put them into different categories. Those are types! See how simple this is?
<a whole bunch of stuff later>
PROFESSOR: Now the endofunctor of the covariant types are jointly distributed under the free monoid, provided that the pullback doesn't reverberate the time fibration of the dependent type space.
If you want to be happy, cultivate friendships.
Psychiatrists like downplaying these side effects, so if you ask one about them, you'll leave with a feeling that it's "no big deal." This feeling is artificially induced and is the result of emotional manipulation.
You might be suffering from bottled up emotional trauma. Find a good therapist. But whatever you do, demand that the therapist not use cognitive behavioral therapy. CBT is how people with narcissistic personality disorder think.
"There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always— do not forget this, Winston— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever." - George Orwell, 1984
