I wish I could perceive reality as perfect and divine, like you seem to do.
I don't perceive it as such. I think it's rather bad and it can be improved upon. However, I like to think of reality as one of all possible ones. We're just soem winning average statistic.
The only ``perfection'' as such is due to me believing reality is some part of random mathematical reality (not necessarily the one humans look at). Certainly not divine in the trivial sense of that word.

First you would have to define those too. I say fuck it. Just fucking fuck it.
Consistent means without contradiction. If something is inconsistent it cannot even be communicated or experienced properly. Since we can perceive reality, it has to be consistent.
There's one thing I cannot grasp, and probably never will: We are bits of turd on a rock flying through space. How is that beautiful for some people?
My theory is that these people filter all this shit through their brain in an even more insane and self-defeating way than I do. And my theory is probably right.
I tend to think of the mind as a structrure embedded (locally implemented by the brain) in such a larger structure such as the 'universe'. To put it differently - if some part of mathematicaly reality contains an implementation of some structure that you call 'your mind', you're conscious of that reality.
The boundary between the self and reality is now assumed to be indeterminate.
Tricky question. Reality, whatever it is, changes the mind, but it changes it slowly enough that continuity can be experienced.

I am going to change reality! Watch me! Just fucking watch me! Even if reality cannot be "objectively" changed, changing the self relative to reality is the same as changing reality! So, all I need to do, is transcend the self!
Wait for it; soon you will all either beg for my mercy, or just disappear from MY reality!
You're somewhat right about this. I tend to view it like this: changing the structure that is your own mind (for example if some day mind uploading became possible) would allow you to embed yourself in a different computational structure, which itself could be found in some other part of mathematical reality, thus the ultimate form of changing yourself also allows you to change your ``reality'' (or merely your perspective or location on the larger mathematical reality).
Also obviously, changing in cognitive architecture or even your own local mental models and perspective on thigns changes your inner "reality" (model of).
