Life is pain of some kind for majority of people. Many seek a means of numbing themselves instead of dealing with it head first.
lol, people are shitting on Luna because she is strong enough to place a distant goal in her life. She only feels worthless when she is not working, and that's a very noble feeling. It's people like her, who stop at nothing to accomplish their goals, that have a place in the future.
That is not to say that her theory of the universe makes any sense. If her theory actually helps her stay focused on her goal, then all the more power to her, but for people like me her theory is not enough. To give some examples:
my consciousness... the non-machine part of me comes from a higher consciousness from which we all exist.
This sentence is meaningless. If by "non-machine part of me", you mean your spirit (i.e. your mind, your intelligence), with the implication that it is not something physical, I'm sorry to inform you there's not the slightest thing about your spirit that is not physical — AND measurable (see neuroscience). Plus, today we all know where our spirit "comes from": it comes from our parents and, like every physical thing in this universe (and every thing is physical in this universe), it is born, it grows older, it gives birth and it perishes (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_psychology if you don't believe me).
So no right exists of talking of a "higher consciousness" whatever the hell that means. You come from your parents, your parents come from their parents, etc., ad nauseum, until we get to the monkeys, etc. ad infinitum until we get to the Big Bang. There's nothing "transcendental" in this, no "higher consciousness" behind any of this, and the fact that you imply any of that means you are still of a very religious nature.
In this way, we are all one, and perhaps when we die, we go back to the higher consciousness, and maybe are even born again.
Yes, and maybe when we die we will all go to Hell, and maybe will all be offered a slice of a pizza napoletana. Maybe. But these kinds of theory belong to religious and superstitious idiots and their churches (if they do not exactly belong to comedians and their comedy shows, which is what seems more fitting to me), not in science.
The physical realm isn't all there is to it.
O rly? Tell me more about this!
We know this because the universe has rules. Unchanging variables.
And this is where you go wrong my dear Luna, because if there is one thing that is absolutely lacking in this world it is "laws of the universe".
As a programmer, I find the way the universe opperates to be very disturbingly similar to a way a program might opperate. For this reason, I believe it's consciousness that is real, and the Universe is a product of it.
This is a stupid conclusion, I'm sorry. For one you seem to not quite understand what the concept universe means. The universe is not a "product" of anything. Nothing created the universe. Then, I don't understand what you mean by "consciousness" here. Your mind is supposed to have created the universe? And the fact that computer programs' rules remind you of the theories of your physicist friends does not lead us to any of those conclusions, anyway.
Anyway, I believe that by helping the entire Human race to move foward as a species, I'm also helping my future selves. I mean... let's consider if I was born a Chinese... I would not want to stay in that country, but in today's society, what option do they have? Well, 200 years from now, perhaps they could choose to get a loan from Luna Corp, buy a very user friendly spaceship manufactured on the moon that runs on android, and go mine asteroids near juptier. This would be an option to them. This could be an option for anyone wanting a new start, or to leave Earth.
This is an interesting religion, though, I'll give you that. :)

People are "shitting" on her for the delusions she speaks of in only becoming strong and creative while on a substance that alters thinking. If she doesn't have the willpower to do anything without something sedating her, essentially she isn't strong, or anyone worth admiring, at all. Drowning yourself in busy work to never have time to face yourself is not something an actual leader does. They face every problem they have, beat the living shit out of it, so that in the future when they progress they won't have that nagging issue to stand in their way. Ultimately, she won't get far if this is only the beginning, and she has already reached that level of low that comes when you have succeeded and can no longer take the stress. Yes, this is only the beginning, but there are a number or cracks at the base of her building. If she keeps piling on without correcting those cracks, the whole foundation will collapse.
