Based Miyazaki

There shall be no peace until the last ember of man is extinguished.

>ex-marxist greentard who failed to live up to his own ideals even then

I like his cartoons, but he is just another bitter old fart.

Only when you embrace the techno-dystopian future will you find enlightenment. Only technology will set us free from the clutches of existence.

Hook yourself up to the cybernets, tune out, drop out and let the bombs fall.

>>12561064
i like what you said, wanna be my friend? I'm torn between technology and nature, if you wanna we can talk sometimes, somewhere ;_; got discord?

>>12561028
A BLOO BLOO

>>12561325
No, but I'll be here from friday to sunday.

I'm just your run-of-the-mill anti-life faggot.

>>12561325
We can have it both ways.
Miyazaki is bipolar and living in some pretty extreme dark days.

Life ought to prevail for as long as it can. The universe is big enough

>>12561340
sir, i need you in my life, i wont bother u much, just from time to time we can chat about cybernetics, life inside computers, disconnecting from your physical body etc, you know, the usual stuff. Even if you dont know anything about it, we can search up and explore together, itll be fun

>>12561353
>The universe is big enough

The question is not so much about quantity, but about principles.

>>12561379
Look up Ildjarn "Final Statement"

>>12561379
Getting old makes me think about dropping my brain in a cyborg...

>>12561397
What of principles? I want to live. A hundred isn’t enough

>>12561325
"technology" as it was deemed before the 1960s was absolutely fine. but then Madison Avenue and Silicon Valley came along and it became something. now "technology" is just a perverted mechanism we use to feed positive feed-back loops instead of the negative counterparts that shaped all of human civilization up until the aforementioned points (though it still does on a macro level).

>>12561436
You cling to life like shit to a blanket. Why flirt with futility and prolong the inevitable when you can impose it?

>>12561476
I do what I can

>>12561064
You seem very resigned anon. Personally I prefer Miyazakis stance. It's much more courageous and interesting to struggle against the current.

>>12561544
What? he doesn't "struggle against the current", Miyazaki is a massive hypocrite, and don't forget he worked his best friend to death.

>>12561353
All the different Butterfly trips now has me wondering which posts are genuine and which aren't. This one doesn't sound like a Butterfly post to me for example.

>>12561657
Which friend and how? Backstory pls

Yes but not human life, let another organism have a chance a few million years from now and hope they fare better.

>>12561662
I got two going on two different devices.

psuedo babble

Takahata, I presume.
I think he did what he loved

I'll be honest, I really, really, really wish that a disease would kill off 75% of humanity, preferably 90%, and then we stuck at that level for at least another millennium, if not more.

>>12561064
>Only technology will set us free from the clutches of existence.

Technology will only extend your existence.

>>12561028
>Modern life is so thin and shallow. Just like Osamu Tezuka. Fuck that guy. I spit on his grave, ptooey.
-Hayao Miyazaki

>>12561028

I've thought about this and while I agree with the guy, I can't help but feel we're already too far gone. Barring some disaster that wipes out all of humanity, I think life on Earth is doomed to a greyout that it cannot bounce back from.

>>12561064
>he thinks he can stop existing

>>12562903
>Only nature will set us free from the clutches of existence. because it good it good and green me like to lie down and die no struggle, no victory, no rage against the dying light bad bad bad

What's this image from? Reverse search gave me nothing

>>12563033
How does extending the human lifespan free one from the clutches of existence? Genuinely curious.

>>12563088
Maybe he meant miserable existence. Or he was just BSing
I’m all for it

Shoo, buttfly, shoo

>>12561028
Why not just tighten the suspenders instead of making that knot?

>>12561064
transhumanists are eternally scared. Scared of death, aging, illness, their own shadows. They are irresponsible. Technology denies them of independence of thought, freedom of movement, self-determination and most of all their own dignity.

Transhumanists are infra-human, they are devolved. Children.

>not wanting to be the ruin-gazer
landists will never know this sweet relief

>>12562915
I don't get those who want to go back to some X era when things were supposedly "better". It will just begin the same cycle all over again and reach the current state sooner, or later.
It would be less futile to end the cycle instead and bring about the final conclusion through systematic and deliberate intent. Imagine a doomsday device, or something of that nature.

>>12563088
Extending some individuals existence by a minuscule amount is completely trivial when it can be just as easily extinguished. Actually wasting time and large amount of resources towards such an ordeal is idiotic when the opposite would be much more effective.

>>12565009
Not even getting into something as silly as transhumanism. When/if a super AI is developed that has consciousness, humans will be deprecated in all its forms, including their conscious, in which case humanity is destined to the trash heaps.

>>12561028
The inhuman industrial society will not last forever, there is still hope for a sustainable future of self-governing local communities in restored ecosystems through permaculture. I'm going to have an off grid home with a food forest and qt wife, I believe in it

DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS

>>12561028
The problem is that we have to co-exist with nature. If we keep dicking around and creating waste we are just diving head first into extinction. But obviously if we die first then we die, and that's not good.

>>12565124
you better have shotgun, to protect your potatos and your wife.

>>12561028
nah, what do we want life for?

>>12562992

>I believe in it

You're no better than christfags.

Embrace mechanistic dominance, for you all will be the ones to fuel its thermonuclear altar!

>>12565135
Why exist? Why not embrace extinction? Why is life good?

You just throw around baseless opinions.

>>12565762
Are you retarded?

>>12565787

It will, whether you like it or not.
