"
The next common narcissists are trolls, those who think they're entitled to shit on the hard work of everyone else, and that their vacuous, moronic opinions are beliefs should be inflicted on everyone else. These dead-eyed knuckle-draggers are extremely annoying and also immensely harmful. They can do a huge amount of damage to new and growing movements, and that's exactly what motivates them. They love wrecking things.
"
It's solely thanks to mathematics that existence is rational, explicable, intelligible. Existence has an answer only because it's a mathematical organism. It isn't a mathematical AI. It's not a dead computer. It's a living, purposeful intelligence, a Hive Mind made of individual, living minds, of which each of us is one.
"
There are dumb religions for dumb people. These are the world's mainstream religions, all of which are untenable and formally falsified. There is a smart religion for smart people. It's ontological mathematics. No one can refute it. It is Absolute and infallible - because it is pure math.
"
There is atheism for dumb people, and also atheism for smart people. The smart atheists - people well-versed in the philosophies of the likes of Schopenhauer, von Hartmann and Nietzsche - could easily migrate to ontological mathematics. The dumb atheists - blind followers of materialism, empiricism, and scientism - never could. To put it another way, atheism based on versions of idealism is so much smarter than atheism based on versions of materialism.

Existence is mathematical music, and all of us are the instruments playing the cosmic symphony. Our task is simple - to arrive not at any old music, but the finest music that can possibly be played. The ideal music is reached when every player is in perfect harmony with every other player, and not a single discordant note is played.
"
The universe is a collective mathematical composition, and we are all solo artists adding our own individual contribution.
"
Music is the perfect metaphor for mathematics. If you find it hard to grasp reality in mathematical terms, you will find that you can make incredible progress by instead thinking of it in musical terms, ad you will end up at more or less the same destination.
"
Why did the Roman Empire - the greatest civilizing force there has ever been - fall? It was because it became infected at every level by the negative liberty of Christianity. The Roman people started thinking of their personal salvation rather than their collective strength. Once the poison of individualism has spread among the people, Rome's fate was sealed. The collective collapsed. The Dark Ages came upon the West. Once the cohesion of the people has gone, everything fails.
"
Isn't it time you stood on the high steps, or in front of the podium, and started making your address to the world? What's your message? If you don't have one, what then?
