Suffering is the mechanism by which Darwinian selection drives us to conform to its whims — it is the task master, keeping us laboring in the dusty fields of status monomania and zero sum social games. I recently rewatched the Matrix, and I teared up at the end. Not because of the narrative, but because I imagined that this call between Neo and the system of control in which he is embedded was a "breakup call" made by suffering abolitionists to the system of Darwinian — pure replicator — control in which we toil for the sake of an unconscious self-replicating evolutionary algorithm. "We are going to show them a world without you" says The Far Out Initiative to the Matrix of suffering that Darwinian nature has conjured up around us in order to keep us acting in its interest, rather than in our own, as conscious beings. We are going to give consciousness a choice.

So, if a traumatic stable conquers the connectome, it creates a melancholic symphony? Emotional pain becomes sort of pleasurable because you're actually tuned like that. Does it make sense to you? It sounds like lots of BPD couples I know. I'm thinking about these difficult cases in which people are e. g. happier in toxic relationships because they are tuned to melancholy and actually deeply enjoy it, they simply don't vibe with joyfulness, it's not their "key". From the perspective of annealing, it sounds like a difficult configuration to escape from."
