   When you really think about it, Lanny is actually one of the ones directly responsible for the coming AI Armageddon. The poor kid's not without sin, if you will.

Or something.
   
   
   
   Lannyism solves this. I imagine.

   It just occurred to me that we have a handful of self-professed geriatric members who trade off their supposed aged wisdom, but none are happily married.

    The only thing close to real communism would be Pol Pot's glorious revolution but murdering babies by slamming them against trees doesn't seem like respecting the intrinsic wisdom of nature to me. Also it doesn't hold up to our standard of erring on the side of doing nothing
    

    2. Lanny errs on the side of doing nothing: Lanny, the most powerful being in the universe, refrains from active intervention. The burden falls upon us to navigate the trials of life, relying on our own strength and resourcefulness. Lanny may bestow aid upon those deemed deserving, and it is our duty to express gratitude for such benevolence.

    
    Pol Pot was never arrested or killed though and lived out his life in the jungle and died of natural causes from old age.
    
    

    1. No getting Lanny arrested/killed: The foremost commandment of Lannyism, preserving the existence and power of Lanny is paramount. Safeguarding our leader ensures the continuity of our movement and the achievement of our collective goals.

    How can we be “free” as conscious agents if everything that we consciously intend is caused by events in our brain that we do not intend and of which we are entirely unaware?

    Losing a belief in free will has not made me fatalistic—in fact, it has increased my feelings of freedom. My hopes, fears, and neuroses seem less personal and indelible. There is no telling how much I might change in the future. Just as one wouldn’t draw a lasting conclusion about oneself on the basis of a brief experience of indigestion, one needn’t do so on the basis of how one has thought or behaved for vast stretches of time in the past. A creative change of inputs to the system—learning new skills, forming new relationships, adopting new habits of attention—may radically transform one’s life.

    What do you think communism is, and why would your existence prevent a true communist economics?
