Are you ready for true darkness? Well, too bad, this is just my user page. Name's Pudimguy or Puding. If you are the kind of guy who just wants to take a bike to the beach side and ride out without a worry about the world, just observing the beauty of nature around as the sun sets on the horizon, free from any worry about being judged or subjugated by others, where any tyranny is a distant memory and all we have is stars and worlds to explore - we will get along very well buddy.

My Personal Philosophy
I for one, believe there is no meaning in this world. Very creative right? Surely no philosopher thought this before. Well, yes, it's kinda cliche, but it's what i think. Man might create meaning for many things, but at the end of the day, this meaning too will be swept aside as Man evolves and every individual who ascribed the meaning and follows it dies, even if the Individual itself lives.

So, what is there to it? Are we stuck in this ball of dirt until we die? Are we created just to exist until we aren't here anymore.

Yes.

But that doesn't mean we need more than that, a lively spirit, a love for existing and affirming yourself and a companion or two to have fun. So i say, we are in a ride and we may crash at any moment, this is why we should care not for the destiny, but the journey, take time to appreciate each moment - it's better to have lived amongst the fire in order to return to the ashes, than to never have burned a ember inside you at all.

So, c'mon, i can't exactly give you my ride, but there are many "rides" out there for to get - some of which you end up making yourself. You don't need to worry how you will partake on this journey, just remember to find what you want, what brings you joy in it, and to never allow others to rip that joy from you, that freedom you earned the moment you declared yourself free.

We live in a ball of dirt full of apes, yes. But it's sure as hell my ball of dirt and my journey shall be joyful regardless of whether it takes on the scalding desert or the distant stars!

A Very Basic Summary of my Views
I believe, first and foremost, in freedom and an anti-ideological kind of freedom while at that. Man was not meant to be subjugated by others - even if some may want to be in chains for themselves, they are indirectly putting those who wish to be free in them by not resisting these. Still, my hatred or disgust for those who made these chains is far and rare, after all, i can't force someone to break themselves from their chains if they don't want to - as Stirner once said, "Freedom cannot be granted, it must be taken". Of course, i'm willing to give my hand to anyone willing to take freedom with both arms and teeth with all my heart. And my chains? Broke them in spirit long ago. I now seek to break free from my physical ones now.

Many would consider my an anarchist - and by all accounts, i am, given my opposition to the existence of the state and hierarchies. But i reject myself to the label - or rather, the limitations of the label, in order to seek a non-ideological type of anarchism that presents "anarchism" not as a society or a state where people live in, but as simply as a way to think for oneself and to act in our world.

Thus, for me, anarchy is not a ideological strain, so per say, but a way to live and exist in a personal way, no matter what ideology the government around them - or lack of government for that matter - follows. Thus a nation, a world, an universe shaped by "anarchy", no matter how cooperative it is, and no matter how united the people in there are, they are, the end of the day, individuals, not living labels to complement an ideology.

In fascism for example, the individual is not a "fascist", they are a servant of the state. They are a Fanatic. They are a Fundamentalist. They are a Slaver. But they are not a "fascist". In the same way, in a Authoritarian Socialist society, the individual is not a "socialist". They are a Union Destroyer. They are a Dogmatist for a Personality Cult. They are a Mass Murderer. But they are not a "Socialist".

Anarchism is about rejecting all these labels that ideological strains seek to insert and force into you and being something else - being youself. Anarchy isn't something you simply agree with (though one can do that too), it's something you live.

The Living Aestheticism
When it comes to personal desires - i believe in the freedom of the Aesthetic. "Autonomous Aestheticism" - is the logical conclusion of that. With a completely anti-ideological pursuit, the Autonomous Aestheticism realizes that politics - just like work and the state, have restrained every living being from their pursuits. Thus, we look at that which allows people to be people, individuals to be individuals and man to be man: Creation and Art.

Autonomous Aestheticism seeks to shape the universe around art. Often have men have said thar Art imitates Life, but i disagree - for me, it's Life that Imitates Art. But why limit yourself at that? Why not make life an extention of art? Have we not learned so many lessons from reading books? Have we not felt joy from playing a game with friends? Have we not broken our hearts from seeing a theater presentation? Have we not stood together in nostalgia from a song in out childhoods? That is what Autonomous Aestheticism seeks. A society similar to that we have today, but better in every way - more free, more equal, more empathetic, more creative, more passionate - by making our art real.

Autonomous Aestheticism does not seek to forcefully turn society to it's views - or even individuals for that matter - but for them to free themselves through their passions. Once they have "realized" their capability for freedom, every individual will seek to shape the arts and the world around them in their own way and splash the canvas with their own artistic vision.

Maybe a man will build a city whose technology reminds everyone of the 70's. Maybe a woman will seek to make a vaporwave-themed town where nostalgia dominates the hearts of men. Maybe someone will seek a future-past that never existed and create a community made for Retro Futuristic ambitions. Maybe the once empty halls will be filled with equipament reminding others of a Steampunk Victorian London. Maybe someone just wants to return to monkey and live in a cave. No one truly knows what is the "correct" type of art of passion, but one doesn't need a correct way to make art in order to shine. And what is art if not an extention of imagination and dreams? It's not enough to dream, one must live according to the dream itself.

With this, state, ideologism and dogma will slowly fade - and people will not fight for a dictator, but for what brings them joy. Oh, there will be conflict of course - but conflict shall change and evolve slower than the arts will do. And with many autonomous people living and creating their own worlds, one might argue that the resulting canvas will be chaotic. That is correct. And yet, it is better to live for who you are in chaos to live as a label in order.

Autonomous Aestheticism, still, is just a dream. Just like many before, it will probably just stay as that. With that being said, it costs nothing to take a page from a book and start to write.

TL,DR: Situationism with extra steps NO! It's not just Situationism with extra steps! C'mon stop saying that!

A more general look into my perspectives
Since otherwise this page will be gigantic.

Morality
Morals are subjective - and in many ways meaningless. Still, as i like to say, them being meaningless doesn't mean one can't follow a code, a desire, a principle - or anything else that guides them. A rejection of the dogmatic nature of morality doesn't mean one rejects empathy and love for others. It just means accepting that things like murder aren't evil or good for anyone who doesn't follow your morals - and by extention, the universe. If someone is killed in the street, the universe will not cry, budge, or even notice.

Thus, morality is nothing but a spook - but to act and think in a certain way through personal desires, logic, and empathy is not. My opposition to murdering others comes not from thinking it's "evil", but because killing a person brings no joy to me, and in fact, my empathy for their own suffering and capability to identify with them would lead to me sharing the pain they are feeling.

The Economy
I think economic theory in general is antiquated - we live in a world where a man might value his little farm more than anything else in the world and refuse to part with it even as the economist considers the place where he lives to be a "shithole" compared to a lavish mansion by a millionaire who barely fells happy with his life. Thus, i believe economic theories in general must be phased out for a personal trade belief.

Working alongside the base for Aestheticism above - each "artist" will have their own way to trade, to share and to provide to others in a society. As communities with their own economic systems appear, people will adapt themselves to the places where they desire to live and the individuals they are confortable with being together.

I imagine most of these people will have a communistic or Gift Economy way of living - as artists and those with the same passion live together, they will share and care for each other in the same way - as you once shared your old pirated games in school with that friend who wanted to play GTA but their mother didn't allow them to do that because it was violent (C'mon, you had one of those friends), those that live together as individuals will share supplies, items of value and other trinkets for the same reason you shared your pirated game - simply because you enjoyed doing that. Or maybe you just had a favour that you needed to pay with them. Or maybe they just old you that they knew how to install the hot coffe mod. Oh well, the principle stays the same.

Still, communities and individuals can vary - and i can see them following other personal economic systems like mutualism or Geoanarchism or even agorism. On a personal level, i enjoy Gift Economy the most, though i am quite interested in the ideas of Market Socialism. Either way - in a world made of individuals who not only realize their place as individuals but live as those - authoritarian economic systems who depend on authoritarism and control of a person over the other, like Corporatism and Feudalism would phase out as they become irrelevant and people refuse to submit to them.
