Anonymous User asked: do you have any spiritual beliefs?
If I do, not in any traditional sense.
Maybe there's a name for it that I don't know, but a big part of my "life philosophy" for lack of a better term is that the sublime is simultaneously mundane and the mundane is simultaneously sublime.
This basically-infinite universe is full of so much possibility and wonder and yet it's just the same physics everywhere. And yeah every day is a cycle of waking up and just kinda doing some things relevant to your own life here and there, but it's all part of this absurdly long thread of human history that we all play a part in. Oh and also just consciousness? What the fuck? These clumps of matter that make up my body have self-awareness, and that's me?
Weirdly enough it kinda comes from learning about Marxism and dialectical materialism and all that stuff, but also just the idea of dialectics in general. It's not so closely tied to its origin for me anymore, more existing in parallel with it.
