If you're playing a social deduction game, (say mafia werewolf, Among Us type video games, or a competition reality show like The Mole, Devil's Plan, or Million Dollar Secret), where everyone playing has consented to a ruleset where lying is a core component of the game, do you believe it is it immoral to lie during the course of the game?

AN AUTISTIC URBAN HERMIT
(you may not understand if you are not autistic)

@actuallyautistic

For many years, I've been a very curious person. I've learned many things and done many things that I found interesting: science, art, computer science. Like a voracious animal, my mind has consumed all kinds of information, eager to understand everything around me and everything I experienced. Soldier, doctor, monk, musician, hacker, etc. Until one day, staring at the ceiling in the bed of a psychiatric hospital where I was hospitalized, I asked myself: "How did I get here, to this?" And that night, 17 years ago, another part of my life began. I began to die and be reborn, to discover how and why I had gotten to that situation. I discovered that I have high abilities, that I am bipolar and autistic. But for every limitation I discovered, I also discovered the limitations of the world and the human society in which I live.
Today I know that nothing has meaning and that life doesn't need to have it; that what many see as progress and evolution, I see as barbarism and brutality, and that humanity is the stupidest species on the planet, not the best. I don't have goals anymore, I don't need them. But I do have a compass, a kind of direction without needing to get anywhere. To live as peacefully as possible and need very little, being aware and critical of everything. A peaceful dwelling isn't just my house tucked away in the middle of the city, but also a peaceful inner life, without the noise and clamor of the lives of "normal people," without socializing more than the bare minimum necessary for survival. And this isn't because of autism; it's because of a kind of purge, a psycho-spiritual hygiene. The forced social being I often was is dying. Until a few years ago, there wasn't so much exposure and socialization; it wasn't mandatory or essential to living and working in this world. With all the technology and supposed progress, there is increasing misery, hunger, war, and violence everywhere, which makes me think that it's more of a trigger than a solution.
Being overly intelligent and being autistic is a fatal combination that guarantees the death of the social being and the development of the inner hermit that every gifted autistic person potentially is. I'm slowly retreating from the world to my quiet inner abode, where a very narrow door filters who enters and who doesn't. Just my small family group and a minimum of kindness toward a few people is more than enough.
I thought a lot about sharing what I'd learned, about helping, but I realized that idealism and the romanticization of compassion are useless when the sufferer doesn't understand the root of their problems and isn't willing to do their part. Human nature is to be a soulless son of a bitch, held back only by fear of punishment, whether from human law itself or some imagined deity. It's better to live in full awareness of the suchness of things. I myself can be a compassionate genius and in the next moment break your head for being rude and treating me badly.
We live in the worst of all possible worlds, and with that, we are warned that the worst can always happen. Knowing that, any good thing that comes or appears is a gift, a bonus track.
I don't give unsolicited advice, but if you want some, it's this: "Step away from the world as it is and watch it burn from a distance."

A trolley problem for the modern day:

"You stand in front of a magic machine. It has a number display showing a 1, a button that adds a 0 to the displayed number, and a leaver that will kill the number of richest people in the world as shown on the display.
How many 0s do you add to the number before pulling the leaver?" 🤔

Spent many hours in the garden today, weeding my strawberry patch, planting onions sets and watering my garlic. Every time I go to work on my veggie patch, I discover a new reason why I love gardening. Today I was reflecting on how growing plants requires me to be radically hopeful and to trust that there will be a tomorrow, one that I care about and one I want to make better. At the same time, gardening teaches resilience and humility. Not everything will work out, not every seed will sprout. But then we gardeners don't just quit - we and our plants just try again next year 🌱

It's a mix of total commitment and unconditional love - but also the ability to let go, to not become overly attached and accept that you can't control everything.

Dear philosophy journals, it is sort of appalling how many of you still do not offer an RSS feed to track new articles. This is, in internet terms, an ancient technology that can be implemented cheaply. Consider making life a bit easier for scholars in times of an increasing flood of publications.

“The Digital Demiurge: If the World Is Flawed and We Now Re-Code It, Are We Becoming the Process Itself?”

In Gnostic cosmology, a flawed creator traps spirit in matter. But now we remake matter with mind—through tech. Are we liberating the divine spark, or doubling down on illusion?
