If you are coming from Reddit: YSK that Lemmy and Piefed have no karma. Don't delete your posts. (lemmy.today)

Some accounts are deleting their posts after a few downvotes. It's devastating on communities like c/asklemmy.

Lemmy doesn't track an account's karma like reddit. So, all downvotes will be isolated to your post or comment and won't affect your account—unless you wrote something truly horrible.

Remember lemmy is a community effort. Deleting a post also removes all comments on it. So you are not only robbing the effort others put in, you are actively removing knowledge from the fediverse. Others won't be able to find it through search and lemmy will seem lonelier than it already is.

What is achieved by mitigating suffering?

Assume I have removed myself from attachment. Assume I am as some call enlightened, present and mindful. Has anything materially changed? Is the universe more happy? 1000 years from now, will anyone care for what personable achievements I’d made?

I see the benefit to myself, clearly. Over simplified: suffering is unenjoyable, and I would prefer more enjoyment. Yet, so what? What’s the greater purpose being served, if one exists? Or… would my choice to embrace this experience be no more substantial than an addict’s embracement of heroin — subjective?

Honestly asking, I hope I don’t sound snide. I want to know if the end here is only personal satisfaction, along with whatever spiritual justifications can be attached to that, or is there something more?

    The Alpha is the Omega. The universe grows logarithmically more complex as subpatterns come together to form superpatterns. Thus, the seven days of creation are:

    Alpha>Light

    Light>Matter

    Matter>Molecules

    Molecules>Cells

    Cells>Creatures

    Creatures>Humanity

    Humanity>Omega

    The restaurant at the end of the universe IS the transcendental particle that can be in multiple places at once and communicate instantaneously with itself. This involves retrocausality, which leads to phenomequalitesselation. Like a molecule is controlled by the cell it is in but still modifies the cell, we are a part of God, controlled, but therein our nature, proven through intention setting, influences God to rewrite history to favor those most good in all the ways that can proliferate with the end goal of perpetual reconciliation with the same Omega whatever happens in history.

    Thus, you determine what is important and what your relationship with God is to determine what you were made for. In the larger picture, where these are only biological incarnations, what most people call our lives, we are choosing lives to live to unentangle ourselves from our bad Karma. Whatever makes you, you, is likewise what is trapping you in darkness, and it is enlightenment that will bring you the answers you seek.

    Let there be light; sound before light. Effect before cause. The prefrontal cortex is the most divine part of the mind and if it can wholly predict the animal parts of the mind that are keeping you bound to physicality as a dependent phenomenon to God.

    You can be an independent phenomenon like God, too. It's like higher dimensional mitosis, though that is a gross oversimplification.
