Reblog if you would be friends with someone who is a system.
A friend of mine hates himself because he believes it will destroy all their relationships, despite the fact that his headmates aren’t violent or anything. Please help him out and help him start loving himself again.
If you take the people who say they want the government off their back, that sector of the population, they are individualistic in that sense. In the same polls, when you ask them if they want to see more spending on education, on health, on aid for mothers with dependent children, they say they support that. So they also have social democratic inclinations. They wouldn’t like it called social democratic. So take for example welfare. They are opposed to welfare. On the other hand, they are in favor of what welfare does, like aid mothers with dependent children. They are opposed to welfare because that’s been demonized. But if you ask about the things that welfare performs, you get support for it. It is a complex mixture because of the nature of propaganda, of the dominant culture.

To all the New Tulpamancers:
And to whoever else is contemplating starting plurality. I’m going to make this abundantly clear.
The people I hate the most in this world are those who try half assedly.
If you’re willing to create another person to reside in your brain for the rest of your life, despite the methodology, remember that they will grow into a real PERSON.
This means:
- They will have their own desires.
- They will have their own needs.
- They will have their own dislikes.
- They will be there at any moment, at any time, whenever they choose to exist.
- They will have the ability to make choices.
There will be conflict.
That is what it means to be person.
‘Oh i’ll just reset them and try again.’
Yea sure you can do that, go ahead, make another new person. Oh what? The next one didn’t work either? Hmm maybe that’s because that’s NOT HOT PEOPLE WORK.
If you decide to make a person for a single thing, or a single purpose. They will deviate. People are not machines, they can be programmed, but they also can un-program themselves. You should expect this at some point.
I talked to someone who wanted someone for companionship. THEY CAN DECIDE THEY DONT LIKE YOU.
I talked to someone before who wanted a sentient person just for romantic interests. WELCOME TO THE FRIEND ZONE. OCCUPANCY, YOU AND THEM.
Someone wanted a pony. SURPRISE! NOT A PONY ANYMORE.
You want someone else to take charge of your body because you’re too ashamed to do it? SOUNDS NICE. NOT INTERESTED.
People aren’t your toys, don’t expect them to be when you decide to create them in your head.
If you’re going to do this, you have to understand that. This is a lot of work, I’M a lot of work. PEOPLE are a lot of work. This isn’t just something that lasts a few months or a few years, This becomes both of your entire lives. That could be well over 60 years of another person existing in your head.
I’m not saying trying is bad, nor am I saying its a bad idea. Being able to live a life with an amazing person forever is the greatest thing ever. Its just a commitment. A commitment even greater than marriage because you’re with this person for LIFE.
That’s why I get upset when i see short sighted stuff like:
creating someone because you cant get laid,
creating someone because you want a little pony,
creating a friend while you’re away from your real friends for a while,
creating a friend because you’re too shy (and not disabled) to try communicate with a real person.
There’s better and more healthier alternatives for these things and you should stop.
Don’t half-assedly create another person. Think about what it would feel like for you if you were an existence created on the spur of the moment. Remember the golden rule, Do to others what you want them to do to you.
Learn, Live, Love each other.
