Date Me
Hey I'm Cody. Good to meet you. I have to say, I feel like I'm doing all the work in this conversation. Just kidding. You're talking too much.
Listen.
I'm looking for a wife. Someone to banter and go on long comedic riffs with. Someone to help carry the burden of life. Someone who, when I shake her awake in the night and say, "I'm Cody from one year in the future, pack your stuff, we have to leave" says without hesitation "Okay, let's go". Someone to jam on classic rock songs with in pajamas on Christmas morning. Someone who wants to stay up late talking about Kierkegaard's leap of faith. Someone who will help me play pranks on my friends. A partner with whom to face the coming end of days.
If you think you might be that person, or know that person, then boy do I have a document for you.
Basics
Personality
I'm extremely high-openness. I basically only want to talk about ideas. Stuff that matters. You know, philosophy, art, group differences in IQ. I don't really want to talk about my day, or the weather, or logistics. If I go to hell, and some clerical demon has to sort me into the circle that will torture me the most, he'll put me in the one that's nothing but completing two-factor authentication and entering one-time passcodes.
I'm extremely generative and creative. I'm very systematizing. I'm very meaning-oriented. I don't like people who are high in dark triad traits or pleasure- or status-oriented. I like to riff and banter. I'm fairly prone to depression and moodiness. I tend to feel alienated from most people most of the time, although I'm pretty good at hiding it.
I'm extremely driven and hard-working. I am quite introverted, although people tend to think I'm an extrovert. A not-inaccurate way to model me is as an autist whose special interest is human social interaction. I'm high in compassion but low in conflict avoidance. I'm not afraid of starting a fight if my morality compels me.
Lifestyle
I never drink. I never do any drugs. I don't party. I lift weights and do cardio four times per week. I'm a bit OCD about diet. I believe we're being poisoned en masse by modern food supply chains and manufacturing processes. I do everything I can to minimize the heavy metals and microplastics I consume.
Values & Beliefs
I believe in introspecting to discover the deepest essence of your soul, then working to fan that flame until you align the spheres of your being and can embody that to its fullest at all times. The only sin is a divided heart. Loyalty is the first virtue.
Politics: I consider myself apolitical. I believe in realpolitik. The right way to think about politics is as eldritch entities vying for dominance through the arena of public perception. All of the information we get is downstream of uncountable filters and manipulations; we can't possibly know enough to have an informed opinion. If we think we have one, we are much more likely to actually have a mind parasite planted by some interested party, and consequently end up acting, unknowingly, in their best interests and against our own. But even if we had accurate information, engaging in the standard political process effects exactly zero change and is therefore a waste of time.
Religion: I'm somewhere between very spiritual and completely atheistic with a splash of Christ-curious. There's something nonprosaic in the cosmos, but who knows what the doublefuck it is.
Other misc beliefs:
UFOs, remote viewing, and other "paranormal" phenomena are real. This will be proven in our lifetimes.
The primary epistemic process is not empiricism or even a priori reasoning, but cultivating weltanschauung, which is a system of coherentist, nested heuristics.
What we call autism in the modern world is a runaway spandrel of a partially beneficial evolutionary adaptation - a social strategy.
Seek truth. Cultivate radical authenticity. Live intentionally. Build weltanschauung. Strive toward self-sufficiency. Be a force for good.
Future Plans
I'd like to make enough money to have a few different houses: a fortress of solitude in the mountains, and an apartment in SF. If I could only choose one though, it'd be the former. My heart yearns for the trees.
Also, you should know: I don't want kids. That might change at some point, but it's unlikely. Candidly, I believe having kids is immoral, unless you can all-but-guarantee that they will have good lives, which the vast majority of people can't.

Relationship Dynamics
I have no interest in being a "provider". The very idea of "relationship dynamics" is fucking gay. It should be something that flowers idiosyncratically out of the unique interaction of your psychologies. I don't want to play the role of big strong man. And I don't want the woman I'm with to have to play a role either.
