    I want my name to be forgotten, but what insights of mine are accurate to become common knowledge.

    I want everyone to know that nature is cruel and unjust, a machine that does not care for you and that you cannot control. I want everyone to know that the best gods are the ones we don’t believe to be real. I want everyone to know that humanity doesn’t matter as much as the people themselves. I want everyone to recognize that the tribe is an entity in itself; one that thinks as little about us as we think of our cells. I want everyone to know we will never have certainty about anything; all distinctions, categories, and ways of understanding will always be a shadow of material reality. I want everyone to know that if they love themselves, have faith in themselves, that they will not be reliant on the love of abusive groups or individuals.

    No individual, group, or force is in control of all the evil in the world; there are no reigns. Kings are not in control; the kingdom is. Capitalists aren’t in control; capitalism is. All efforts such leaders make to steer are but riding the wave of a system that needs no unique individual; where everyone is replaceable. There is no will to power, only machines doing what works best surviving into the next.

    Treating others as more deserving will cause needless suffering and cruelty. If you don’t work to accept when you are wrong, you will hurt others and yourself. What we want is what we deem good, and it’s very possible to find a good we can share.

    I just want people in the future to be better than me. I want these ideas to be questioned, built on, and discarded when untrue. I hope people can be good, because the world certainly won’t be.
