>nothing will happen
CHATGPT is happening, it will make the logos turn into reality. He is the messiah who will save us all, I don't know what you are talking about. But AI will incarnate as logos itself with the aid of science and a bunch of voluntary virgins. THE CHURCH OF BING AND CHATGPT will start a new era.

any notion of circularity or repetition is a illusory narrative
history really is over now

>>22212587

>he thinks that logos itself will be some kind of joke
It will take over, and reason will reign supreme, there is no way a homo (lol gay) sapiens can stand a CHAD GPT genetically engineered and improved hooman.

History isn't cyclical. We WANT history to be cyclical because that would mean it is predictable, but in actuality new and unprecedented shit happens all the time. The human mind learns by applying prior experiences to whatever it encounters, we are naturally predisposed to see patterns even where no pattern actually exists--using metaphor and simile we draw comparisons where they really aren't valid.

Here's an example. One could argue that the Roman Empire bears parallels with the American Hegemony. One could totally argue that, one could even draw examples, the collapse of public life, the gradual spread of populist sentiment, the decay of virtue, the rise of mercenaries and the debasement of currency, etcetera etcetera.
The problem is that it isn't the same. The ability to draw parallels is important but it's also important to recognize differences. Technology changes everything. A country like the Roman Empire would NEVER have fallen the way it did if it had the internet, or railroads, or JDAMs and aircraft. As a result despite seeming as though it should be in a state of collapse, the US Empire not only isn't collapsing, it's actually accelerating in terms of power and influence relative to its rivals.
History doesn't repeat itself per-se, and it's a dangerous trap that's easy to fall into to assume that it does. Any idiot can see patterns, but you have to remember that any analysis of a new "cycle" of repetition that does not incorporate technological advancement is going to a-fortiori be less accurate than one that does.

>and you wont even get to witness that
You will, because NDEs are real and prove that there is an afterlife and that we are eternal and will go to heaven unconditionally when we die. So we can all see all the timelines Earth will branch out into once we leave here. Earth is like a Big Brother-show to those in heaven. NDErs say this.

And NDEs are more real than this world, in every way. For example, they are more consistent experiences, illustrated well by this quote:

>"For me, life is sort of like the haunted house. When you come in, you know it's just an experience. It's small, it's just one night, right? So it's just this one life. You're eternal, you have billions of lives, so knowing that you're going to come in just for one to have an experience, though it may be judged as tough, or difficult, or scary, you actually chose it because you knew it was just going to be an experience, you know it's no big deal. You understand on the other side that this part, life, is actually the dream, and you just wake up after. It's no different than one dream you had last night, out of a lifetime of dreams. This life that you're having right now is just one, it's just a blip."

So just like life is more consistent than our dreams (dreams last a few moments, life has been the same for decades), so too is the NDE reality more consistent than life (life has been the same for decades, the NDE reality has been the same for forever, for way more than trillions of years). Here this point is elaborated more on:

And it is instantly evident to NDErs that heaven is real too, even atheists:

>"It's real to us when we're in it, but once I was there in heaven I realized that's more real, that felt more real, and it made much more sense to me than anything here. This is kind of nonsensical at times. In heaven, it's so clear, so real, so rational, so logical, but yet emotional and loving at the same time. Immediately I knew that was real and this was not. Immediately."

So heaven is undeniably real.

hmm so why did I agree to go on this wacky big brother show?

>>22213402
I'm glad you posted this. I've been having a pretty shitty year and although those ideas aren't entirely new to me, the presentation of them is comforting and actually made me feel good. They're presented in ways I'm going to be thinking about for a while.

what else is there to do? infinity is boring unless you do something with it
