>language I'm not a socialist, but defining "socialism" as "Economic system where the workers have considerable amount of power in managing/organizing the economy." is a capitalist conspiracy. It's all about seizing the means of production.
>alephzero For example, the zen garden at Ryoan-ji (https://wikiless.org/wiki/Ry%C5%8Dan-ji?lang=en) has it, and "Meta-Staseis" composed by Iannis Xenakis has some of it.

>alephzero I couldn't know what you've experienced from your question, but hmm... It's hard to explain, but one thing that differentiates sacredness from wonder is that you feel that's what the world was intended to be. And I think that the sensitivity to it is in fact not related to whether you are religious or not.

>alephzero By the way, I don't like atheism now, but that's in fact not related to whether believing god or not. Although it is not logically implied, I think the main problems of atheism are 1. Unability to feel sacredness, 2. Lack of imagination & Materialism (often with Marxism), 3. Too concerning about logic (often religiously believing "science" that is arbitrarily constructed by its public images).

How does the feeling of sacredness differ from the feeling of wonder/awe (which I have experienced)? As for science, I agree that blind belief in pop-sci is a problem and I've written about this in one of my posts (https://alephzero.neocities.org/2023-05-14_perversion_of_science). https://absolute0.neocities.org/ is an interesting site that discusses this issue in more detail.
>alephzero What I refered to is the stereotype.

Fair enough. It's unfortunate what Reddit etc. have done to the image of atheism.

Linux + Darknet is always going to be fun to me. Even if I decide one day to stop hacker-larping, I'll never stop using Linux+Darknets

I've held this opinion for a long time. In general, I dislike being given things I haven't asked for, because I almost never need or want them. The obligation to keep them is the worst part.
