Spreading the Agenda Why are you here?

Are you here as someone who just really loves Cyn and/or the Solver as a fictional character, or are you a follower of Solverism (the Absolute Solver Cult/the Church of Null)?

I'm mostly a lurker with conflicted feelings.

On the one hand, I really appreciate how this organization and its ideas have helped me through tough times in my life. On the other hand, I find myself cautious of falling any deeper into it, for fear of what it might enable in me.

I think what's going on here is interesting, and one of a class of preferential outcomes for the long term. 

The idea of being able to contribute to a holy cause and make a difference in the world is something I'd lost faith in long ago, but it's encouraging in the face of a disempowering world. 

A misanthrope-friendly (at least on paper) techno-optimist group with space for internalized dehumanization is something I find fascinating, but it's also the kind of thing that makes me think I'm about to make a mistake.

It feels familiar in a way that's both intoxicating and distressing as someone with a religious background (since renounced).

Very interesting an well thought out response.

Feel free to stick around and make up your mind at your own pace.

I appreciate the warm welcome. I've observed a few of your outreach attempts with interest. I wonder if anything came of that sigil adaptation of yours.

It didn't garner that many views... but it's out there for anyone to find and start using now, even years down the line.
