Solipsism + game theory + post-humanism + scarcity narrative wins!

Comment by RaxilMed: "Do you suffer from repeated violent rapes? You're not alone: millions are diagnosed with chronic rape disorder (CRD) every year.

Raxil can help.

Raxil's patented formula is clinically proven to regulate attraction pheromones and simultaneously neutralize male aggression. Although extremely unlikely, in the event that you are raped, Raxil will respond to your distressed emotional state and act as a GABA blocker, which will prevent your brain from forming a long-term memory of the incident; it will be as though the rape never happened!

'I used to suffer from recurring nightmares, depression and social anxiety. With Raxil, I can do what I want, go where I want, wear what I want without worry. I feel like I'm really living my life again.' -Jamie, 20"

Comment by david: "Pain, love, experience, 'life' is no longer the 'edge of the algorithm', the 'point', the cherished aspect of what we consider our existence as discrete grey-matter-accelerated monkeys. It is increasingly and increasingly apparent that more accurate is the model of our experiences as detritus devoured by some other terrible and larger emergent intelligent system."
