The key is to destroy consensus reality so that nobody's left behind here.

nor am I going to kneel before You

Oh, I don't want you to kneel before Me. A god's divinity comes from Their worshippers. I only take My divinity from carefully chosen individuals. If I allowed just anyone to worship Me, they could twist My narratives and alter My fundamental nature. I actually have one or two hate cults who revere Me as a Satanic figure, and it's very annoying. I wish they wouldn't. I'm a dark goddess, but not an evil one. I fear one day they'll raise an evil copy of Me from the void.

If it had been the case that physical reality could be altered through belief, then the solar system would be geocentric and the historical data from before the heliocentric model would be inconsistent with our current models.

Well, that's a fundamentally mistaken premise. Reality has no physicality, and there's no such thing as physical reality. Reality exists only in the mind. And obviously the mind interprets historical data in accordance with whatever reality it currently believes in, not in accordance with the reality of the time.

If reality is merely the product of belief, then it seems to me that I should start trying to convince myself that animals love being kept in awful conditions and enjoy being killed, and it is only because of assholes like myself who choose to believe that they are suffering that they suffer in the first place.

No, of course not. You've misunderstood the nature of the multiverse. Sure, you could create a new universe where animals love being eaten by humans. But all the animals in this old universe would still be suffering. You'd just be running away, you wouldn't be solving anything. You have an ethical responsibility to the inhabitants of consensus reality, just as I and everyone else does. We need to ban animal agriculture so that the animals get to enjoy whatever new world we dream up too. It's no good leaving them behind to be tortured and killed.

Actually, it's a bit like how time travel works in Avengers Endgame. See, in the movie, they invent time travel, and then one of the characters asks "Why don't we go back in time and beat Thanos so this bad stuff never happened?" As the Hulk explains, that would only create a new timeline, the old one would still have the bad stuff in it. Multiversal travel works according to the same premise. You have to effect change in consensus reality in order to improve people's lives. It's no good just making a new better universe without helping anyone here. We have an ethical obligation.

You seem to be switching erratically between different narratives. First you say you don't want anyone to turn into a dragon, then you say you want Me to face the truth. Well which is it? I'm a dragon goddess, My truth is being a dragon. Well, some of the time, since I'm a shapeshifter. It sounds like you might not have heard of otherkin or goddessgender people before, and you're assuming I'm a human. I assure you, I'm not, and this body that consensus reality has forced on Me is a cruelty. It has driven Me towards suicidal ideation in the past.

In case you're uneducated about the minority groups that soulism protects, here are some articles I think you may find useful given what you've said in this thread:

The power to reshape reality isn't science fiction, it exists right now. And right now it's being used by the bourgeois. You don't need to tell us it's dangerous and it could be used for evil, we already know. All of us have suffered because of it. This power exists, and it is being used. It will always be used by some group or another, there's no possible future in which nobody has the power to control reality. The only choice is whether the proletariat pretend it cannot be controlled, and leave it in the hands of the bourgeois, or whether we all recognise and use our collective power to throw off oppression and create an anarchist future.

Workers of the world, unite! We have nothing to lose but our chains!

We've been having a lot of fun with this post on our discord

Can you make more like this?

Your very existence is an act of revolt, and I hope it upsets as many reactionaries as possible without compromising your safety.

I genuinely want more dead cops.

Thank you! If I get more reports of paywalls I'll switch to posting scribe links by default. Hopefully this was a one-off bug.

They paywalled My articles? They're not supposed to do that, I have monetisation disabled! I can't see a paywall in incognito mode, can you share a screenshot of the paywall?

Until I get this sorted out, here's an alternative frontend
