What is Soulism? Soulism, also known as anarcho-antirealism, is a school of anarchist thought which views reality and natural laws as unjust hierarchies.

Some people might laugh at the idea and say it’s not a serious ideology, but this is no laughing matter. If these people are successful, then consensus reality would be destroyed and we would return to what the world was like before the Enlightenment. What did that world look like? Well, you had:

  • Ultra-powerful wizards hoarding knowledge in high towers, reshaping reality to their whims, with no regard for the common people

  • Bloodthirsty, aristocratic vampires operating openly, and on a much larger scale than they do today

  • Viscous, rage-driven werewolves terrorizing the populace, massacring entire villages with reckless abandon

  • Fey beings abducting children and replacing them with their own

  • Demons and angels waging massive wars against each other with humans caught in the crossfire

Fortunately, out of this age of chaos and insecurity emerged a group of scientists dedicated to protecting and advancing humanity by establishing a consensus reality and putting a stop to these out-of-control reality deviants.

Before, if you got sick or injured, you’d have to travel across the land through dangerous enchanted forests seeking a skilled faith healer or magical healing potion. But with consensus reality, easily accessible and consistent medical practices were instilled with the same magical healing properties. Once, if you wanted to transmute grain into bread, you had to convince a wizard to come out of their tower and do it, and they were just as likely to turn you into a newt for disturbing their studies. But thanks to consensus reality, anyone could build their own magical tower (a “mill”) and harness the mana present in elemental air to animate their own “millstones” to do it! These things were only made possible by consensus reality.

Now, I’m not saying that this approach doesn’t have it’s drawbacks and failures, and I’m not going to say that the reality defenders have never done anything wrong. But these “Soulists” want to destroy everything that’s been accomplished and bring us back to the times when these supernatural reality deviants were more powerful than reason or humanity, and constantly preyed upon us.

So do not fall for their propaganda, and if you see something, says something. Anyone altering reality through belief and willpower, or any other reality deviants such as vampires or werewolves, should be reported immediately to the Technocratic Union for your safety, the safety of those around you, and, indeed, the safety of reality itself.

Thank you for your cooperation.

    I changed the reality this morning through willpower, I wanted pancakes and then through my willpower and the ingredients in my kitchen made some

    I only asked for help from one wizard, but I murdered them right after they were done with the whipped cream, am I excused?

      We’re very grateful for that, but we’re also going to have to bring you in for reeducation and Clockwork Orange you with cooking shows until you can only make pancakes through mundane processes. I’ll talk to my superiors though and see if they can throw in like a $20 gift card for the whole wizard murdering thing.
