Is he right?
>I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware. Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself - we are creatures that should not exist by natural law... We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self, that accretion of sensory experience and feelings, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody's nobody... I think the honorable thing for our species to do is to deny our programming. Stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction - one last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.

Only if you believe in evolution without a God.

>Stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction
Wouldn't that be pursuing self-awareness to its logical extremity ?
If self-awareness is an illusion that we should deny, shouldn't we go back to our animal programming, fighting and fucking and fleeing death ?
If we are nobody, and do not exist in the past and future, isn't suicide pointless ?

Natural laws create the supernatural, now?

Humans consider themselves separate from nature

I you hate thinking so much, why don't you just lobotomize yourself and rampage naked through the forest as an animal instead of being a whiny depressed little faggot.

Western culture perhaps. The Aztecs at least say everything is teotl (energy) and are not into dualism.

Apologies, i read that wrong. Almost everyone considers themselves separate from nature, that's his point

>>1205106
i agree with the first two sentences
i think humans should take advantage of our evolutionary advantage and continue to progress beyond purely natural means

> Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself
People are part of nature. They don't like to think like that but they are in the end.

>>1205431
He's not appealing to nature

It isn't really true, because the only thing that is real is awareness, not self-awareness.
If you study meditation alot you will notice that there isn't really a "self" anywhere.

>>1205106
What if he's only partially right? What if the future of humans living on earth is that 90% of them don't need intelligence and only a tiny circle of hyper-intelligent beings manage the entire human economy?
