Hey. I am just starting to learn about this Sastre dude. And I am struggling to understand how this is not itself an absolute truth, let me explain my observation. The absolute, as an idea, can be questioned, and it can lead to at least the following 1: There is an absolute. 2: There is not an absolute. If 1 is the case, then you have access to this absolute, and at least one way to verify it. If 2 is the case, then you are already at the absolute. Because saying that There cannot be an absolute, is itself an absolute!!!!!!! In my experience, it is always "safer" to deny the absolute in favor of relativism. Because you can never know!!! what can you possibly understand a as tiny human being...?? probably not much... On the other hand, if you as a human, manage to expand your consciousness and become infinite, then it is absolutely obvious that there is an absolute. Formless. Cosmic. I don't think anyone that "rejected absolute truths and ideologies" would ever be openminded enough to understand what Truth entails. I don't think Sastre or Schopenhauer have any idea of what a psychedelic insight like the ones Leo talks about might look like. It seems like old philosophers like these, cannot come close to the depth of a true Awakening into the nature of reality.

Hi! I find this topic fascinating. Yes I would definitely enhance both my Mind and Body through technology, and to some extent I am already doing it, by wearing glasses or using the Internet, Psychedelics, Music, and Mathematics. I don't see a limit to what I would not enhance if necessary and possible. Two examples: If in an accident I loose my leg, and there is a cyber-leg in the market, I would try my best to buy it and have it installed. If Neuralink became publicly available I would ditch my smartphone immediately and have it put in my skull. I could think my way to the internet, and not have to use my hands to code anymore! Here is a video of what has become recently possible. Imagine this technology evolving in a few years from now. What do you mean by fairness here? I don't really think there is anything objectively "fear" in reality. When new valuable technology becomes available, people starts to use it, it has always been the case. No matter the price.
