describing being as a set of states is good but it doesnt answer what the essence of being is. articulating what being is presupposes that being can be reduced to a concept. this is the delusion.

Both of these are true everything ends and nothing ever ends The world can't be ending because it already has the world is always ending and always has been ending and always will be ending
Well done and well researched. However, it’s difficult for 1/2 the world to get onboard with a globalist Marxist ideology when the people in power trying to make this a reality are so divisive, disingenuous, hypocritical and part of a military-industrial-pharmaceutical-processed food complex. I actually am very intrigued by the world, economic forum concept of you will own nothing and you’ll be happy, you’ll eat less meat and we will welcome refugees in all of our countries. I think that all of this will be inevitable, especially with the rise of AI combined with global warming. It would just be nice if it could be done without our leaders lying about their intentions. Also, you paint a realistic and ugly picture of late capitalism and I agree with this picture, but who is going to be in control of an alternative system that doles food, shelter, healthcare, etc. to the masses? We have seen how this system plays out over and over. I don’t believe humans are capable of working together for any length of time. We will either collapse under capitalism or be completely controlled by leaders who live in ivory towers while we enjoy insect proteins and communal housing and muzzled speech. If anyone has an alternative solution or a realistic path to Star Trek, I would love to hear it. I would be on board with that all the way. I just don’t imagine that’s going to happen in the next several generations. Sadly, it will be too late by the time we realize such a beautiful ideology.
I was named after Cormac McCarthy and I greatly appreciate the proper pronunciation of our name I've always said "spelled with an A pronounced with an I"
Funny to hear you talk about arrogance. The most arrogant thing would be supporting AI, thinking that we should be essentially creating new life. I hate to use a religious phrase, but "it is arrogant to play God".
I'd be hesitant to put any emphasis on Fisher's suicide as some sort of proof of the urgency of his work. Not out of piety, but there is simply no need. The same happens with Ian Curtis until this day: "It shows that he really meant it!" (Not exactly - Slavoj Zizek is skeptical of suicide bombers, who he sees as terribly insecure) Fisher's ideas hit home by themselves. One of the most important thinkers of recent times.
While I more than understand that one's mental health woes go beyond their ideological outlook, I do think this holds extra weight with Fisher. Fisher explicitly writes about the sociological effect of mental health being rooted in hyper-individual ideology. He was pretty disgruntled about how the socio-political systems being completely stripped out of the conversation around mental health. I take his word on this and to not put that into a large factor around his suicide seems pretty incorrect. Aside from that I absolutely don't think this takes away from his work on it's own at all. I'm a pretty happy person who isn't suicidal at all. I find his work just as relevant.
billy woods has a line, "I forget white people is born police", and it's true, anyone born in this culture takes on social roles where they are expected to surveille each other. And people, with no point of reference for anything but the colonial spirit, do seem to enthusiastically adopt this crab in bucket, zero class consciousness, wealth worship, cuck role
