Thank you, Eliezer. I will cherish this article. People build their entire world views to run from this and here you are depicting the profound brutality - not obscured with fluff, but stripped naked by your words.

a world beyond the reach of God, an utterly unprotected world where anything at all can happen. ... Someone who wants to dance the deadly dance with Nature, does need to understand what they're up against: Absolute, utter, exceptionless neutrality. ... challenges are not calibrated to your skills

I feel a great relief reading these simple and profound insights: somebody else gets it. Somebody who others pay attention to is warning the rest and I now have a new way to communicate this to others.

I don't say that every rationalist should meditate on neutrality.

I have experienced the neutrality. There's no turning back. I know that there is nothing to trust.

I didn't expect to find any solace that would lighten the harrowing effect of this realization. Your communication gave me that solace. Thank you.
