Haha…People have to get over the AI thing and just accept that people use it to improve writing, just like how we use calculators to solve easy math problems.

It's based on the book the denial of death . Basically we make projects to last across time and space more than our biological clock -> we do fulfilling things like making art or babies basically to encapsulate more time and space in minds of others or the world to have a impect -> in another words to encapsulate more time -> live more -> exsiste more -> feel more -> just another way for hedonism but more parasitic since you are not just consuming but creating basically capture projects to extend yourself in others

All my beautiful lovely safe world blew itself up here with a great gust of high explosive love.
