    meaning of life

    meaning of life

    May 27, 20251 min read

    If we can ask the right questions, it is much more likely to find the meaning of human existence. As a heuristic in the search policy space, we should try to increase the diversity of people (or conscious beings) asking such questions. - Bliss Chapman

    → communism == maximal agency for the individual, giving people control over their own lives and society.
