Thumos and Thanatos

In this stream I discuss how an insane ruling class, desperate to sink into subconscious nihilism, are spiraling the world into a leftist singularity. It's up to us to survie the crash and rebuild.

Time Text
Good.
Evening folks.
I think we've got everything in order.
But give me a second to check.
Have a new follower who it just disappeared.
Oh my goodness.
Come on.
Who was it?
Something related to earthquakes.
That was the name of the new follower.
Alright, my channel.
Tectonic.
Tectonic.
Spelled in the same manner as the Tectites from Legend of Zelda.
So, glad to have you folks here.
All three of you?
Afraid had to reschedule from the regular time, so we might be a little bit behind tonight, but that is alright.
Thumos and Thanatos is the name of the stream.
Which, just to give you the background, Plato described the two animal urges, the two instinctual urges that man has as being Eros and Thumos.
And Eros is obviously the sex instinct.
Thumos is the spirited instinct.
You could call it the political instinct, which is how I'm going to be using it on this stream.
It's the desire to be important.
And of course, you also have Tanatos, the death urge.
And those two, Thumos and Tanatos, are going to be underlying what we're talking about in this stream.
But before we get to that, a little bit of background, a little bit of gossip.
So, Mr. Alex Trusk asked me on Twitter what I thought about, oh goodness, what is his name?
I better just go look at the computer screen to check.
Russell Brand.
What does Arini think about Russell Brand?
And ah, geez, I don't want to be a jerk.
I better plug this thing in because it's always uncharged.
I've got to need an assistant to charge my devices.
Or better yet, devices that hibernate when you're not using them.
That'd be an idea.
Just ask me what I thought about Russell Brand, particularly given his recent conversion to Team Good Guy.
Team Schizoid, team I hate the Antichrist.
i hate the antichrist and see the thing about the thing about russell brand is like he's just the sort of guy that like him and i like like just oil and oil and vinegar OK, it's we are very clashing personality types.
And part of the reason we're so clashing is I think there's a lot of similarities, right?
Like, I could go on a very mean-spirited psychoanalysis of Russell Brand and about how, you know, he's an exhibitionist that wants attention.
He wants to be a savior figure and he jumps on board with these political movements and he thinks he's got a very high estimation of his own intelligence.
But see, I don't want to do that because just about everything I'd say about the guy would apply just as much to me.
And yet he's like, he's like my mirror opposite.
You know, political compass tests, we're in opposite quadrants.
You know, I'll leave it up to the viewer to decide who's in which quadrant.
And on the one hand, me disliking him, it's just, it's really mean-spirited.
right like he it's he's just a dude he's just a dude And on the other, it's also alienating a potential ally.
It's not that he's like a possible personal ally, but just because somebody's a radically different person than me doesn't mean that they're my enemy.
Right?
My enemies are the controllers.
And well, we're going to be talking about that in this stream.
The psychopaths in control of things.
And Russell Brand may have so many things I could criticize him about, but I'm not going to.
But he's not a psychopath.
He's not a manipulator.
It's like, yeah, he probably has a monkey on his back.
We all got a monkey on our back of one variety or another.
We all want to be important.
Everybody wants to rule the world, like the song says.
But he's not a psychopath.
And, you know, as I've been saying, it's events are happening right now.
To use an old investment saying was, when the tide goes out, you find out who's not wearing any pants.
And as we approach the leftist singularity, we're finding out that who is a psycho, who is an NPC, who has regressed to a subconscious state, versus who is a thinking human being, right?
Like a huge aspect of the political divide, the red team, blue team, is just psychological orientation.
And psychological orientation is not a virtue.
Psychological orientation is not truth or beauty or justice or any of these things.
Psychological orientation means that in certain circumstances you will thrive.
In certain circumstances, you will achieve the correct opinion, the correct diagnosis faster.
And in other situations, somebody else will achieve it faster.
Sometimes you need people that are extremely disagreeable.
Other times you need people that are extremely agreeable.
Agreeableness is a personality trait.
It's not a virtue.
Being agreeable when you shouldn't be agreeable is unvirtuous, as is being disagreeable when you should be agreeable.
so that's the thing there's to like briefly like consider the political divide and the leftist singularity See, the leftist singularity is the point of infinite critical theory.
The infinite revolution against revolution itself.
Now, the liberal mentality, the liberal personality type, see like leftism and liberalism, they're two different things, okay?
But with a leftist singularity occurring, it's natural that the liberal mindset is going to be the inside party for that, while the conservative mindset is going to be the outer party.
And so if you look at kind of what's been going on with American politics in particular, anytime you get a right-wing president in power, whether we're talking about Trump or, oh shoot, who's the guy from the 80s?
The guy from the 80s we all love.
Does Chat know who I'm talking about?
Ah, we got Turner Hooch.
Glad to have you, man.
Reagan.
Whether we're talking about Trump or Reagan, all of the right-wing achievements that they accomplished during their presidency were immediately overturned when their presidency was done.
while the left-wing achievements that they made during their presidency were maintained and enhanced.
This does not mean that the right-wing is innately correct, or that the left-wing is innately wrong.
You know, a season for all things, a time to grow, a time to work, and a time to reconsider, a time to relax and party, a time to criticize the structures.
Build up, tear down.
It's time for both of those.
The leftist singularity is not, is beyond that.
It's death worship.
It's tanatos.
Infinite tearing down of even tearing down itself.
So of course it captures the left.
It parasitizes the left.
It fits in more easily there.
And of course, it needs an opponent.
Critical theory always needs something to criticize.
So the right takes on its role as shadow self to the leftist death urge.
But logic and emotion, all right, which is the rough divide between the right and the left.
The right is logical.
The left is emotional.
It's the same division in the two hemispheres of our brain.
Does not mean that one is right and the other one is wrong.
You actually need both systems.
Gerdel's incompleteness theorem points out the limits of logic itself.
Logic can only prove that logic is limited.
And that at some point you need a leap of faith.
You need the holistic thinking of the right brain to actually have effective logic.
So this is, you know, the this is why the logic of the right wing is never going to be sufficient.
Okay?
It's it's not the problem.
The problem is not liberals.
The problem is the leftist singularity.
Now, why did your screen turn off?
Oh, app crashed out.
Hopefully we're still streaming.
So, just to sum all that up, the leftist singularity takes its home on the left, but it uses both the left and the right to achieve its ends.
They're both players in its drama.
And kind of what we're seeing is the singularity is kicking up so hard that people on both sides of the aisle are waking up that they are not a part of it.
Now, there are so many right-wingers currently that are more than happy to play shadow to the singularity, to be the enemy that the singularity needs to struggle against.
Those people ain't us.
Those are the people I really want to avoid.
Those are the people that are getting just as high off of Thumos.
The desire to be important, the desire to matter.
They're getting just as high off of it as the social justice warriors, the black block anarchists, the people burning down buildings.
Okay?
They're getting high off it and they're being completely irrelevant.
Okay?
You're Ben Shapiros, essentially.
Now.
Jukiao is here.
Shuyao?
Reagan.
Yeah, thank you.
The right-wing establishment doesn't want to win.
They are there to make sure that the base doesn't get what they want.
Oh, yeah, and there's that whole aspect of it as well.
Now, that said, that's answering the question what I think about Russell Brand.
It's like, I innately don't like him, right?
And I think he'll probably feel the same way about me.
And partly it's because we're opposites, and partly it's because we're actually extremely similar.
But he's on team good, I think.
I think he is genuinely on team good.
Next, I want to start off by just giving a few shout outs to some of the other content creators that have helped inspire this stream.
So, very first of all, Coach Redpill has been posting some excellent content, specifically did a stream about the nature of the ruling class.
And I'm going to be riffing off of that.
It's not the first time I've run into this, okay?
But he can also hearing the same thing from him means, okay, it's not just like my opinion, man.
That's the difficulty with social analysis.
One of the things one of my old history profs said is the problem with studying history is that every source you're reading has its own contemporary historical bias.
And your job as a historian is to try and see through that bias and recognize that you have your own contemporary historical bias.
Likewise, even analyzing the modern day, you only have your experiences of things.
And is it just my sour grapes that I'm noticing, or is it a wider pattern throughout society?
Along with Millennium Woes.
Another one I'm giving a shout out to, because he posted this stream just the other day where, like, in his stream, he was saying pretty much the same sort of stuff that I was saying in my recent blog post, A Farewell to Niceness.
Which, you know, a large part of it boils down to like the large grouping of the dissident right.
As soon as Trump got elected, they all turned to infighting.
And meanwhile, the powers that be censored all of us.
They silenced all of us.
So we went from a position of great optimism, we just memed a president into existence, to being shuffled off to the hinterland.
No longer having Millennial Woese put it like he used to make videos not just for his audience, but for the wider public, people that would be listening to it.
Versus now, it's like, yeah, censorship works.
Just us chickens around here these days.
So we, yeah, we kind of got kicked out of the mainstream.
We got a little bit too influential.
So they shut us down.
And in retrospect, so many people on the distant right were not actually on the dissident right.
They weren't playing the game seriously.
All these boomers that are turning the TV on and they're having their two-minute hate against Putin.
It's like, okay, boomer, do you want your son to go die for Ukraine?
Are you willing to sacrifice your son's life?
Probably not.
This is just play acting for you.
Same thing for a lot of people on the distant right.
They weren't actually, oh my god, civilization's going off the rails.
We need to do something if there's going to be a future for humanity.
They were, haha, I'm going to be an edgy boy.
So yeah, a lot of them, tides going out, we're seeing who isn't wearing pants.
Millennial Woes is saying that it's like, okay, so it's not just me being silver grapes.
Days of Noah been posting some great content about the elites and their insane opinions, which I'm going to be riffing off of.
I found a new blog called FoundingQuestions.
I believe it's foundingquestions.wordpress.com, who's been doing some great work on the NPCs and the bicameral mind, all of which just, you know, really clicked with me.
Stuff I've talked about before.
And the last one I want to give a shout out to is the Disaffected podcast.
So, Disaffected is a guy.
He's on Odyssey.
And Millennial Woes is on Odyssey as well.
Don't know about Days of Noah.
I should check if he is.
It's on YouTube anyway.
Very careful with his language to not get knocked off of YouTube because, like it or not, you get 10 times the views there.
This is why I'm trying to make a big shift to watching videos on Odyssey myself.
It's a good platform.
At least it's a, I say it's a good platform.
It's a user-friendly platform, okay?
I have no idea how free speech-reliable it's going to be.
But anyway, Disaffected Podcast talks about cluster B behavior and yeah, and which again, another thing I talk about a lot, so that's why I like this guy, and really diagnosing like the symptoms of our society being in the grip of a cluster B cult.
So those are guys I'm taking inspiration from this dream.
If I steal a talking point from them and I don't quote them, well, I just quoted them.
So there we go.
And let's see.
Tectonic says.
Awesome blog post.
Thank you.
It felt more like something I needed to get off my chest, like a log jam I needed to get off.
But I'm glad it wasn't completely, completely self-indulgent.
And Colon McNoyes, Ukraine has an interesting history.
It does.
I don't want to get bogged down in the Ukraine, however.
I don't care about the latest thing.
So let's start off.
I'll tell you my talking points for tonight.
Number one is an incompetent ruling class.
Number two is NPCs and the bicameral mind.
Number three is nihilistic suicide and Marxism.
And number four is something I actually got from my friend Big L on finding one's calling in life.
And there actually is a method to this madness, which can best be found by digging in.
So an incompetent ruling class, and I'm, now I mentioned, I got this from Coach Redpill.
He did a great video on this.
But this is not the first time I've run into it.
The first time I ran into it was about five or ten years ago.
And I wish to God I could find the website where I read this.
I would love to reference this website.
He's saying the exact same thing as Coach Red Pill, except he was talking specifically about the American military.
And it came up with the...
It came up.
The way I came across this was in discussions with Colonel Boyd.
So, Colonel Boyd is the greatest strategic mind of the past hundred years, if not longer.
Guy is, the guy is, he's a, he's a Clausewitz, okay?
He's a genius.
He came up with the OODA loop.
Observe, orient, decide, act.
Which, if you're at all interested in strategy, look up the OODA loop.
Never made it past paternal.
And so this was a blog post written, I believe it was on a military website or magazine or something like that.
And he was discussing why it is that guys like Colonel Boyd never make it to general and why the generals are also incompetent.
And what it boils down to is that the way promotion works in the American Officer Corps, and honestly all Western officer corps, is that to get promoted, it's promoter die.
You know how with academia, it's publisher die?
With the military, it's promote or die.
If you don't get promoted, in fact, like one of my exes was a lie lieutenant in the American military.
And yeah, she was telling me that you need to get promoted every three years or you get fired.
And to get promoted, you need to do everything right.
You need to be squeaky clean.
No black marks whatsoever on your service record.
And so this inevitably means that you get a whole bunch of people at the top that have a nice shine on their ass from riding a desk all day, that have a chest full of medals, but they've never challenged themselves.
This is how you get generals talking about how white supremism is the number one threat to America.
Like, what an utterly asinine opinion to hold.
Like, like, what an absolutely, like, there is no organized white supremism.
Okay, there's like three KKK groups and they're very ineffectual.
There is no, there just isn't a terror threat from white people in America.
Not saying there couldn't be.
Not saying it's an impossible concept in a different time and place.
I'm saying at present, there is no organized white supremism.
About half of the white supremism is federal agents, and the other half is people that can't tell the difference between their ass and a hole in the ground.
Yeah, like white people can totally form terror organizations too.
You've got the IRA.
The IRA used to be a dangerous thing for the British authorities in Ireland.
But at present, there is no threat from white supremism.
It's an idiotic thing for a general to say.
But it's stupid like a fox.
Because even though it's completely wrong, even though it's going to divert security assets to a useless cause, and even though it's actually going to antagonize the very threat that it's claiming to prevent, It's clever because he's not going to be punished for saying that.
One of the things Coach Red Pill pointed out was the importance of making mistakes.
You know, you can watch his stream, so I'm going to, I'm going to, he gave a great example.
I'm going to give a different example.
Okay, one from day trading.
One of the worst things that can happen to you as a day trader is to make money by accident.
Right?
Is to luck out.
Because when you make money by accident, well, you think you made the money.
No, you just got lucky.
And you learned the wrong lessons.
You're actually now a worse trader than you were before this.
Whereas when you make a mistake, you're forced to sit back and ask, okay, what could I have done differently?
That is how growth happens, is through making mistakes.
And so when you have an education system, when you have a recruitment system to the elite leaders of society that demands no mistake making, well, number one, you aren't going to get people that actually know what the heck they're doing.
There's that old story of the guy that screws something up for the company and it costs the company half a million dollars and he walks in the boss's office, he thinks he's going to get fired.
The boss says, fire you?
I just spent half a million training you on how not to be stupid in the future.
I'm not going to let my competitors take that.
Just learn your lesson.
That was a very expensive lesson, but I hope you've learned it.
Current ruling elite kicks you out if you make any mistakes.
And so this kills curiosity.
It kills experimentation.
I likened it to the whole publisher die attitude in academia.
Oftentimes, like when you go to look for something, you'll find out it's not there.
Like I have some facility with statistics, and every once in a while I will go dig into statistics to look for something.
And I don't always publish it.
Sometimes I just do it for my own edification.
But sometimes I don't find anything.
Sometimes I was really, really hoping to find something, but I don't find anything.
I've got the null hypothesis.
And it's kind of frustrating.
Now, if I were in academia, finding that null hypothesis would mean, boom, no tenure as a professor.
And the thing is, when you're asking interesting questions, you're often going to find nothing.
So if it's publish or die, what you do is you ask stupid questions that can be massaged any way you like.
This is why, you know, sometimes people send me science reporting in the mainstream news.
Oh, look at the thing they just found.
Like, I don't think they found anything.
Like, I'll skim through it.
It's like, first, I need to read the white paper.
I need to see their statistical analysis, what they mean by these terms they're using.
I know what I would mean saying that word, but that doesn't mean that the scienticians are meaning the same thing.
And honestly, I'm familiar with the pressures of academia.
Publish or die.
So just because they published something doesn't mean they actually found anything.
The punishment for not finding something is go get a job at the grocery store.
100%.
You're done in academia if you don't find something.
The punishment for scientific fraud, whether it's actual scientific fraud, you lied about the numbers, or it's you are gonna massage your hypothesis a little bit.
The punishment for that is 99% of the time, nothing.
0.5% of the time, you're fired.
0.5% of the time, it's a slap on the wrist.
So, no, I don't care what comes out of the scientific journals because the whole system is rigged from the start.
game was right from the start, kid.
And these are the people ruling us.
Okay?
Let me read some of these comments here.
Maddie says, I know that people are mad that folks have shifted away from the Ukraine to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock.
But at least the U.S. is more of an expert on Will Smith than the Ukraine.
The average person a year ago can named five Will Smith movies, but couldn't find Ukraine on a map.
Zotero says, Zhu Yao, Zotero is the best way to cite your articles.
I haven't heard of that.
I'll be honest, I'm not going to do anything with that anytime soon.
He also says Douglas MacArthur got five stars.
The skull that all of my haters are obsessed over is named after him.
That's MacArthur there.
Billy Mitchell got a court-martial.
Matty says, Vox day argues that the second in command are bad people to take over for the leader.
Yeah, oh, well, yes, it's two different jobs.
this fits with the military that you have an officer corps and a non-commissioned corps which let me get back to that in a second officer non-commission Man, he says, Will Smith expose how much more thin-skinned some black people are.
Saying that Chris Rock deserved the slab, but sorry, I'm not going to talk about that.
Maddie, I'm not disrespecting you, but I refuse to talk about that.
I am fed up on hearing about Will Smith.
Now, let me top off this drink.
And I'm going to get my cooling device for the phone because it likes overheating.
And how are we doing for ice here?
For me, the ice cubes serve somewhat of a safety blanket sort of thing.
I just like having them rattling in my glass.
All right, so we are going to put, I have a nice icy cold.
can we put you here are you are you gonna keep it cool there Wait, wait, I have a I have an idea.
I have an idea.
So I don't want this thing overheating and dying during the stream, so there we go.
There we go.
I am very clever.
Now we have a nice cup of ice water pressed against the battery housing in the phone.
So hopefully it won't overheat.
All right, there is a natural division of officer corps and non-commissioned members.
And one of the things that Gonzalo was saying, Coach Redbill, during his stream about why they're so incompetent, is that he was groomed is the wrong word, but channeled towards elite status.
To a lesser extent, I was as well.
So is my buddy Big L.
And all of us, it's not like it's not like there was some sort of secret squirrel dude, right, hanging out with his fedoran trench coat, going through the oh, look at the look at the SAT scores in this kid.
And then he went and tested you.
So, how do you feel about supporting Israel?
It's not like that.
Right?
And we answered the wrong question, so we didn't get invited to the secret club.
No, it's not like that.
It's that we weren't obedient.
Okay?
We weren't unquestioning.
We were very smart, right?
We were kind of like put in the position there.
But you have to be smart, hardworking, and obedient.
So we have this question: how is the ruling class so incredibly incompetent?
See, Big L actually has a friend that became a professor.
I hope I'm not saying too much.
I don't think I am.
He became a professor of ethics, of all things.
And about a year ago, you know, when we were, was it a year?
It was about a year ago.
No, it was right after they did the second lockdown here in Canada.
So this was like dark, apocalyptic times.
How bad is it going to get?
And Big L and I were talking, and Big L actually confronted this guy, caught him in an ethical trap.
He is a professor of ethics.
Demanding that, I don't know, the unvaxed all be circumcised or something.
Whatever.
Demanding one of the crazy vaxxer things.
And Big L caught him in an ethical trap.
And he decided to go, even as a professor of ethics, he went with the narrative.
And this really distressed Big L.
It should distress anybody.
A professor of ethics values obedience to the narrative more than he values ethics.
Like that American general values obedience to the narrative more than keeping the nation safe.
This should terrify you.
This should upset you.
How do we get to that point?
Is it just that these people are stupid?
It's not.
It's not.
I'm going to give you an example from my own university education.
So there is a Greek tragedy called Medea, which is, I'm going to bastardize it, but go listen to it on your own time sometime.
It's a big club and you ain't in it.
Yeah, exactly.
Even though, that's the thing, you could have been in it if you'd sold your soul.
If you just shut up and been obedient, you could have been in it.
You know, if you were tracked in that direction.
And it's not like it's, you guys probably know people that are in the club.
Okay?
It's not a formal conspiracy.
It's the cathedral.
Like anybody who is a professional.
Okay, so anybody who's a lawyer, for example, has been approached for inclusion in the club.
And I think most lawyers are in the club, not all of them.
Okay, some of them are doing their private practice, some of them, but most of them are in it.
These are very smart people.
They're very hard-working people.
And they are driving us over a cliff with their stupidity.
How do we get there?
So there's this play called Medea that I studied in my English class back in university.
And it's a Greek tragedy about one of the guys in the, I believe it was the Trojan War.
Big L will correct me if I'm wrong about this, but one of the big generals from the Trojan War comes back and his wife has been waiting at home with their kids and he brings a concubine with him.
And his wife, Medea, is so angry about this that she murders her children and then gets carried off to Mount Olympus in a chariot.
That's where Deus Ex Machina comes from, right?
Like the god of Machina.
God comes and the gods come and because there is no solution to this horrific tragedy.
Okay, it's like the tragedy happens.
It's like he betrayed his wife.
She murders her own children.
And okay, chariot to Mount Olympus.
Go home, everybody.
You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.
So, yeah, powerful play.
Okay, a powerful play.
Now, what did we do in our English class?
How did these potential young leaders of the future, how did we approach this play?
So, we were tasked with analyzing the feminist themes in this play.
The play was written in 400 BC.
Feminism is a 20th century political movement with roots in the 19th century.
By definition, there's no feminist themes in it.
They're c- You know, now, if you're me, if you are Leo Rini circa 2022, then you could point out that actually, yeah, there are feminist themes because we were seeing a destruction of Greek society at the time.
a dissolution of it, and feminism always arises during the death of a civilization.
Similar thing happened in Rome.
When Rome was dying of its empire, feminism became quite popular.
You could do that.
There's an argument there.
I mean, like, honest to God, the thing that destroys feminism is feminism happens every single time a civilization is dying.
It's just the belief that women are people, too.
No, it's not.
It's this agonistic, you know, gender-based hate movement that wants to tear everything down because some men were dicks, so all women need to be cunts.
Like, that's what feminism is.
It's not the belief that women are people.
Okay, that's called Christianity, by the way.
That's called, good lord, no, that's, go back to Ur.
Go back to the founding mythology of Ur.
At the very beginning of the religious text says God made man and woman.
Puts them right next to each other.
Doesn't say God made man and gave him a slave.
Says he made them male and female.
He made them.
For one another.
But anyway, I digress.
We're assigned with writing feminist themes in media.
It's literally a mother murdering her own child.
Guys, the irony.
The irony.
Okay, this is back in, what was it, 2000?
I think it was 2000.
It was before 9-11, I believe.
So anti-feminism was still, it wasn't why it's mainstream, but the irony of finding feminist themes in a woman who murders her own children despite her husband.
Can you find some feminist themes in that?
It kind of backs up my assertion that feminism is the death of civilization.
Your husband cheated on you.
Go murder some innocents.
Yeah, that's feminism, alright.
But more the idiocy of it.
See, the modern intellectual approach is to always find the subversive narrative.
To always find the idiotic interpretation.
If you can find an idiotic interpretation of something, you will get a gold star.
Now, if you're actually trying to do something practical in the world, there is a time and a place for mad genius.
There's a time and a place for experimentation.
Think before you sleep.
That's another good channel that you should follow.
He had a great video on the survivor island, men versus women.
And by the way, even though he's kind of in the position of dumping on feminist women all the time, he doesn't actually dump on women.
And when there's a woman that is being courageous, having integrity, being heroic, he does stand by them.
It's just, it is so frustrating that success as a female in this world is being a terrible human being.
Is being actively a terrible human being.
And so it's so easy to mistake criticism of terrible women for criticism of women.
It's so easy when the whole society is feminist to mistake criticism of feminism for just rampant misogyny.
Anyway, in this video about the survivor island, there's a really interesting bit where one of the guys is a creative, he's experimenting, trying to get food, and kind of like the real salt of the earth type is getting pissy with him.
Stop wasting all your energy doing that.
Just do the thing that works.
Until the experiment actually does work and they get a ton of food from the experiment.
So there's a time and place for experimentation.
But at the end of the day, the machine needs to work.
If the machine doesn't work, the machine doesn't work.
Our elites are constantly trained in the most idiotic experimentation possible.
So if you can ignore all common sense and find a feminist theme in Medea, you get a gold star.
Hey, you might be ready to join the club.
Whereas if you're a person of integrity and actual curiosity, such as myself, you deconstruct the deconstruction and point out how ridiculous it is to look for feminist themes in a book, in a play written in 400 BC.
And so you get discluded.
And this kind of sums up where we are going with the leftist singularity.
See, if you take Medea and you take a really stupid feminist take on it, and you dance around with flowers in your hair, you might actually come up with something a little bit interesting.
At least it's fun to read.
Do you guys remember that there was an article 15 years back that Fight Club is actually just Calvin and Hobbes?
Right?
And that's a stupid interpretation, but it's a lot of fun and it offers some new insight.
Once in a while, acting like an idiot can be fun.
But academia requires you to act like an idiot and take it seriously.
So by the time you finish your PhD, by the time you finish law school, you have committed yourself to making only idiotic interpretations.
And anybody that actually has a foot grounded in reality has now been excluded from the club.
So here we are with a ruling elite that is very smart and very hardworking and completely idiotic.
Well, anybody that could have been guiding things in the correct direction, right?
When I refer to myself, I'm not saying that I would have been like the very top of the dogpile.
I'm saying that I was smart.
I could have been doing something very white-collar and interesting.
Okay?
Not number one.
Just saying I wouldn't be working with my hands quite so much.
Except I was a little bit too curious, a little bit too creative, and a little bit too willing to point out the hypocrisies of the system.
So anybody that actually reflects on things has been kicked out.
The only people left are very high IQ NPCs.
Now, we're going to pause for a second, read some of these fantastic comments from the best-looking audience on all of DLive.
Tubbs and Bubs says.
Tubbs and Bubs.
Is that who I think it is?
It is.
Oh my, okay, so I gotta, this is special Kate, by the way.
I gotta tell you how good Special K and Big L are to Tacticat.
So Tacticat, his name is Toby, but his nickname is Bubs.
And one of the items, one of the, part of his traveling package is a box, like a container box for where his food and treats were stored.
And there was a sticker on it that said, Bubs' nibs.
Oh, that cat is very loved.
So, Tubbs and Bubbs says, Big L, back when he was being considered, yeah, Big L went from almost being a professor of philosophy to working at a brewery.
Right?
I don't think I'm giving away too much there.
But that's the reality.
It's the same thing with myself, you know, it's, yeah, anybody, I mean, same thing with Gonzalo Lira.
Okay?
He should have been setting policy in, where is he from?
Venezuela?
Brazil?
Like, one of those countries where they speak Spanish or Portuguese, you know?
He should have been setting policy instead of a half-assed entrepreneur and YouTuber.
Anybody with integrity and a brain got like the integrity, they got shoved off.
Anyway, Big L wanted to do a study on the NRX, and if it was a legit threat to liberal thought, he didn't want to do it because it might legitimize the NRX.
You're ready to I don't quite I sort of follow but not quite But yeah, it's like you got to be really, really careful about what you're allowed to study.
And like, I'm, man, I'm really still.
Next time I have days off, Big L needs to remind me that I want to read his thesis paper from the other degree he got.
I really want to read that, and next days off, it won't be such a, well, I hope it won't be such a cluster bomb for me.
Soul conscious, glad to have you.
Shu Yao says, the West has a bunch of narcissists in charge.
They literally cannot anticipate the other party's interests or emotions.
No, they're just completely involved with the narrative.
In fact, the cat is watching this stream.
Excellent.
Anytime I go to bed, I'm like, where's that shitty cat to cuddle with?
I miss him.
Matty says, it's now the basis of women's legal defense when a woman murders her spouse or kills their kids.
Even in the survivor men versus women.
Okay, I'm, yeah, okay, so yeah, it's, this is justification.
I felt threatened.
Man, imagine if that's all you had to say to get off for murder.
I believed he was a threat.
You know, one thing I've been thinking a lot about, Amadi, is that the challenge for women, and it does not matter what legal system you have, okay?
The universal, the eternal challenge for a woman is how do I find a worthy protector, right?
Because you are going to be tied to a man somehow, and you want a man that treats you well, that respects you, that looks out for you, doesn't abuse you, doesn't take advantage of you.
And every woman is terrified that, like, what if I marry him and he cheats?
What if he does the Medea thing and brings back another woman?
What if he hits me?
What if he does whatever?
Right?
Like, that's a primordial fear that all women have.
And what's happened with feminism is they traded one man for another.
Right?
Because they were afraid of, like, what if the guy I marry is abusive?
Well, I want a escape route.
And so government comes along and says, hey, we'll give you an escape route, baby.
But what you've actually, what women, what feminism has done to women is it's replaced the potential of having an abusive husband with the potential of having an abusive legal system.
And so you just replaced one patriarchy for another.
And this patriarchy you have less control over.
Like, at least with a husband, you got to pick who your husband was.
Right?
You might screw up and pick the wrong husband.
But now you're stuck with the abuse of the legal system, like it or not.
And Mary says, even in, and this is Think Before You Sleep, in the Survivor Men vs. Women video, Think Before You Sleep did compliment the one woman that was doing a decent job.
Yeah, he...
I'm hesitant to recommend him to women because he comes from a MGTOW background.
He kind of, like, he's got a bit of a shtick of pointing out bad women, but he's not misogynistic.
Okay, and in his latest video, he was discussing some obese woman that was claiming to be anorexic, and he contrasted her to another girl that had struggled with anorexia and had actually, you know, gotten therapy, had dealt with her issues.
Therapy isn't the only way to deal with them, but you have to deal with your issues.
And he was really praising her for taking responsibility.
It's maybe I'm just too damn nice.
Right?
It's like everybody's completely screwed in the society, and I don't want to be the jerk that calls everybody out like, but people are so wrong.
Things are so wrong right now that coach is from Chile.
Chile.
Yeah, I've known Chileans.
I've known people from Chile before.
Fantastic country.
Tubs and Bubbs says the professor.
Okay, this is the ethics professor that Big L was friends with.
Prof friend didn't want to do the study because it might draw attention to the NRX.
He didn't care that the topic might be relevant or interesting.
All that mattered was that it was a taboo topic.
Exactly.
Do not ask the interesting question.
Ask only the question that will give you the answer that you want.
Don't ask, should we really be doing a feminist analysis of a 2400-year-old play?
Don't ask that question.
You just failed if you asked that question.
answer is wrong.
So that's how we have such a useless elite.
They've been trained their entire lives to be obedient to the narrative.
Which leads into the next topic, NPCs.
So I was reading this blogger discussing the bicameral mind, which is a book I really need to read this book.
Okay, because this is something I write about.
I'm not going to quote too much because I don't want to misquote until I've actually read the book.
This will be the blogger, foundingquestions.wordpress.com.
And see, what he was discussing is the theory.
There's a theory out there that the modern thinking human is actually an extreme exception.
That the ancient human was only beginning to become self-aware.
And a great example of this.
Now, let me establish it a little bit more first.
So the argument put in this book about the bicameral mind, which, again, you've got the left brain and right brain.
They're actually two distinct people inside of your head.
Left brain, the logical side, tends to be the dominant one.
But it's like a marriage, okay, where the husband is the explicit, the dominant one, but the wife is equally important, just not as obvious about everything.
The left and right hemispheres work in the exact same manner.
As C.S. Lewis put it, foreign policy and domestic policy.
talking speaking happens through the left brain the right brain is in more of a support role much in the way that a wife is in more of a support role to the husband but it doesn't mean the wife doesn't have opinions It doesn't mean the wife can just be trampled upon.
And modern people tend to have pretty integrated brains.
And the argument is something like, in primordial history, there was no sense of self.
That you had the right, the right brain, sorry, you had the left brain, the masculine side, right side of your body, right-handed species, doing things, but it was blindly obeying the dictates of the right brain.
This is why spiritual visions were so much more prominent back then, because most of it was our brain talking to us.
It was our right brain talking to us.
Like, I consider dreaming to be communion with my right brain mostly.
Right brain doesn't have language.
Right brain has trouble communicating.
Right brain is the holistic thinker.
And you need to listen to your right brain.
As Big L will say, like, logic is of the left brain, but logic is a horse.
You'll give anyone a ride.
If your two hemispheres are fighting one another, then, well, whom the gods would destroy?
The gods are something primarily understood by our right brain.
So the argument was that, well, you know, I'm not going to quote the book because I haven't read the book.
This is my spin on the entire thing.
So our initial understanding of the gods, of these passions that would overtake us.
Thumos, Eros, Mars, Venus, you name it, were the right brain taking control of the left brain.
And like the first glimmerings of self-awareness we have, you can find it in primordial religion.
So if we go back to Ur, Babylon, all of those understandings of the gods we have are us slowly becoming self-aware.
And I think the story of scaphism actually really supports this.
So scaphism is probably the most brutal execution method ever developed.
And I'm kind of an expert on execution methods.
Scaphism, what you do is you take somebody, you lock them inside two canoes, canoe like top and bottom, with their limbs stuck outside the canoes, and you'd force feed them honey.
And you'd leave them out in the noonday sun until the insects, you know, because you're force-feeding them honey, the insects start getting at them, and they're getting, they're not, you're feeding them, so they're not dying of starvation.
It's a pretty brutal way to go.
And we know about scaphism because, and I'm just going off by memory here, might have a couple details wrong.
Basically, the king was there, there was a battle, and the king almost died, but a junior soldier saved him, saved his life.
Now, the king had an image to maintain.
He couldn't admit that he was saved by a private, by a low-class peon.
And so the low-class peon was forbidden from telling anybody that he'd saved the life of the king.
Well, what does he immediately do?
He starts bragging about it to all the court prostitutes.
Like he was very well rewarded for it, but he was sworn to silence.
He immediately starts talking about it.
And for that error, he was scapized.
And so now, first of all, the complete overreaction is the first thing that modern mind sees in all of that.
But second, why did this idiot run his mouth?
Why would anybody that was self-aware run their mouth about something like that?
Like, he wasn't drunk.
It's not like he got drunk one time and ran his mouth.
He was running his mouth repeatedly, according to the historical record.
And I'm left with the impression that, was this person even conscious?
Because he sounds like an NPC with no control of himself.
And see, this is the innate thing about NPCs.
Is that they don't have a sense of self.
They don't have that genuine spark of light in them.
Because they've enslaved their processing systems.
And so that blogger, Founding Questions, is what he's talking about.
And he was referring to how Twitter itself, it seems to me like one of the things going around these days is on the 12th of the month, some Twitterati will have a very strong anti-scub opinion.
And then on the 13th, they will post a pro-scub opinion.
And somebody will quote them and quote both of them and say, hey, buddy, that's you?
And they're not even ashamed of the hypocrisy.
Because hypocrisy only exists if you have a sense of self, if you have a coherent narrative of the self.
And it seems like more and more people are descending into subconscious.
And they're more than happy to be there.
I wrote in my recent blog article about how we thought that the collapse of the COVID narrative would lead to a great awakening.
But it's more akin to all these people were really excited about the latest thing.
And then the latest thing exposed itself as nothing but Kayfabe.
And instead of admitting that it was Kayfabe, they were angry that the Kayfabe fell apart and they wanted to walk back into the Kayfabe.
They were angry that they got woken up.
They want to watch their professional wrestling and believe it's all real.
And this slip in the narrative, this glitch in the matrix, forced them into consciousness.
Remember that Simpsons episode with the ants in space and Homer bashes his head into the ant tank and the glass breaks and the ants are talking to each other and they're saying, freedom!
Horrible, horrible freedom!
That's the NPCs, man.
They were happy being asleep.
They were happy being worked up about whatever the latest thing with COVID was.
And finding out it was all fake, they were angry about being woken up.
And I'll tell you, I'm really seeing this with the because even though they've tried to go over to the Ukraine thing, and then they tried the Will Smith thing, but there's too much evidence coming out about the COVID thing, and there seems to be a lot of latent hostility amongst the NPCs.
Not against the people that lied to them, but just latent hostility.
Because they got woken up.
They don't want to be woken up.
They want to go back to sleep.
They want to be subconscious.
They want to revert to a pre-animal state.
The curse of man is that we are aware of tragedy.
We are aware of suffering.
Oh, what was it?
Andreas Thompson quoted this.
It was Colonel Kurtz in the original Heart of Darkness.
The horror, the horror, exterminate all the brutes.
But in the book, it was something more like only by becoming an animal can one kill the pain of being a man.
And so where 3,000 years ago, we were the instruments of the gods.
Right?
gods being our our right brain becoming gods becoming mars becoming eros But we were slaved.
We were slaved to the mind.
And thus we were not self-aware.
Thus we killed the pain of being a man.
Then the great awakening of monotheism happened.
No God before me.
I'm a jealous God.
I demand that you think and take responsibility.
Well now, we have found a new and improved idol to worship.
The old golden calf.
That was just trying to enslave ourselves to the other half of ourselves.
It was nothing but codependent relationship with our own minds.
Very similar.
Very similar to the person that was abused by the opposite sex.
And so they continued to form relationships with abusive members of the opposite sex to live in a codependent relationship.
Because you don't have to think when you're in an abusive relationship.
You are free from thought.
There's pain, but there's no suffering.
But the problem with trying to go back to worshipping idols, it's like, it's like looking at used up porn.
It's not quite as effective as it is.
But we've built a new improved idol.
We've built the algorithm.
We have the Antichrist.
And it is Twitter.
Go to Twitter, go to Facebook to find out what the latest thing is.
And then slave your system to the latest thing.
Thus no freedom of thought.
No suffering.
Just pain.
Let's check these comments.
Food shortages and inflation will definitely get the NPCs out of their stupor, says Shuyao.
I think everyone would want to go back to sleep in the 90s and oughts if we could.
I don't think it's going to wake them up.
I think you're far too optimistic, my friend.
Let me top this off and make sure...
How you doing?
How you doing, phone?
You happy?
Let's look at the battery power.
Oh, yeah, battery's at 46%.
fine.
One further thing, a bit of evidence I'd like to bring into this, is the death wish, the Thanatos, inherent in Marxism.
inherent in critical theory.
So, alchemy.
Alchemy is the study of applying intense heat and pressure and chemicals, reactive chemicals, until such a point as you achieve perfection.
The Philosopher's Stone.
Put it into the crucible so it comes out stronger.
That's alchemy.
Hegel and Marx is dark alchemy.
The best you could say of it is put it into the crucible until the impurities are burned away.
The nature of critical theory, the nature of neo-Marxism, is to constantly put everything into contradiction.
is to destroy all patriarchal structures in the insane belief that once we do all of that, once we destroy every man-made structure, then we will achieve enlightenment.
That the perennial Godhead is hidden underneath all the layers of man-made reason.
So destroy history.
Destroy the differentiation between man and woman.
Destroy the structures.
Destroy the language itself.
Destroy everything.
And what you're left with is a gibbering, de-rasinated, sexless idiot who cannot speak, who cannot think because the faculty of language has been taken from him.
That is the end state of the dark alchemical Marxist philosophy.
That is what we would call hell, but they call it heaven.
This is fundamentally a death urge.
And let's not pretend that we don't all know what the death urge is.
There are some nights where I want nothing more than to set off a whiskey grenade in my own mind.
Sweet oblivion for 24 or 48 hours.
But these people have made a religion out of it.
They have literally made a religion out of being an NPC about regressing to a pre-conscious state to becoming even lower than animals.
And so, shuyo, this is why I'm saying that the shortages are not going to wake up the NPCs.
Nothing is going to wake them up.
This is the moral crucible that we're living through right now.
And as I said in my blog post, you know, in some cases, I can actually see the powers and principalities fighting over their soul.
I can see it.
It's no longer my fight.
There's nothing I can do to help with any of it.
Right?
Best for me to back off and become an observer.
And, you know, in a statistical sense, some of them will be saved, but I think a lot of them are going to regress deeper and deeper into that pre-conscious state.
You'd think that the shortages would cause one of two reactions.
Number one, why did I follow these idiot leaders?
Number two, why didn't I prepare better for it?
That's not what's going to happen, though.
Not in most cases.
Again, it's not for me to know the state of their souls.
I ain't judging nobody's immortal soul, but I'm telling you what I see a lot of these people doing.
It's getting increasingly angry.
Not so much because of the deprivation, but because the deprivation is waking them up.
And, well, whom the gods would destroy, they first make angry.
Rather than taking the opportunity to achieve enlightenment, they are going to use this to apotheosis Mars.
So that thing is, it won't even be Eros.
be Tantos.
I mean, people apotheosizing Eros is at least fun, right?
No, it's going to be tanatos.
There's going to be a lot of anger lashing out.
It's going to be ugly.
And see, the Thumos, the desire to be important, plays right into this.
Right?
It antagonizes them.
Don't be antagonizing them.
Humility.
This is very much a time for humility.
And keep in mind that the other side of this actually looks like a pretty fun world.
And I was reading something else about the percentage of the diet that was grown at home versus purchased at the grocery store over the past hundred years.
And people used to have their own gardens.
And I think I was mentioning on another stream that I tend to like tomatoes a lot.
Even though tomatoes suck.
And I finally realized why.
My mother had a tomato crop.
I brought some of them home.
And these tomatoes were so freaking good that I had to discipline myself not to just eat the tomato all by itself.
They were that good.
And that's not even like if I've been growing them myself, there's this whole feeling of success when you make your own thing.
When you work hard and then you eat.
It is just such a psychological victory.
I didn't even have that.
These are just homegrown tomatoes that were a hundred times as tasty as the best tomato I'd ever had before.
So a world where we actually do grow our own crops, where we take care of our own stuff, where it isn't this mindless consumer lifestyle.
That actually sounds really, really good to me.
That sounds like not a light at the end of the tunnel.
That sounds like pretty darn near paradise.
One of the things Days of Noah was talking about, he was talking about the Club of Rome and the.
Oh my goodness.
What is his name?
The We're All Gonna Starve Guy from the 19th century.
Doesn't matter.
The point is that all these elites and the Club of Rome and the Sustainable Development, all these people keep predicting we're gonna have an environmental disaster.
Everyone's gonna keep being wrong about all of this.
They are completely wrong every single time.
In fact, they co-opt legitimate movements.
Okay?
Breast cancer was initially a salmon-colored ribbon.
Salmon being a more universal color.
Men and women can wear salmon.
And it was targeting glyphosate.
It was targeting the poisons being put into our food system that were causing breast cancer.
And not just breast cancer, but that's one of the big ones.
They co-opt that into pink ribbons.
And they put pink ribbons on products that contain carcinogens, that contain toxins known to cause breast cancer.
They co-opt the environmental movement.
Which, yeah, we shouldn't be dumping plastic into the oceans.
We should be concerned about overfishing.
We should be concerned about the Dust Bowl.
And guess what?
Chemical nutrients for the soil?
Modern farming is not the solution to the Dust Bowl.
It's just kicking the can down the road.
But they co-opt these movements.
They co-opt them and then blame us.
And this is where I'm quoting from Days of Noah.
They blame us for their own sins.
You'll own nothing and be happy.
No, how about we own our own homes and we have victory gardens in the backyard?
Why aren't we growing our own food?
Do you remember during the early days of COVID when they had all the lockdowns in the grocery store?
And you could buy Monsanto products, but you couldn't buy seeds to grow your own food.
They blame us for their sins.
They are polluting the earth.
And they act like it's us useless eaters that are the problem.
No, we are not the problem.
Their broken, corrupt, over-consumption system is.
The system.
You know, I got some of the fake dissident right.
Some of the fake people on the distant right criticized me for being a car salesman because we leased cars and Apparently that was a major hypocrisy because I am generally opposed to using credit.
I don't like the credit consumption economy and So me having a job Was a massive bit of hypocrisy according to these people But that actually is The leasing thing the fact that it makes so much sense for so many people to lease a car for three years and then lease a new car for another three years and you never own the damn car
But that is not an inherent aspect of owning a car It's not that we need to get rid of cars.
It's not the useless eaters with too many cars It's the broken financial system that has no consequences It's the financial system that is focused upon consumption and gross domestic product
I'm not the one that created the system where because of all these financial shenanigans where the big players always get bailed out.
See, if the big players didn't always get bailed out, leasing a car wouldn't make that much sense.
Leasing a car would make sense for a little while Until there's an economic contraction and all the people leasing cars had to give them up or or whatever there's a financial disaster and you know who'd be holding the bag the people lending the money That would be a bad bet
they've so perverted things that it makes sense to lease a car and that is sure as hell not on me as an employee and it's not on you if the financial system means that leasing a car makes sense the problem is on the people running the damn financial system
I don't want to buy all of my food from Monsanto.
I want to have a victory garden.
So do most of you.
These guys rigged the system.
They're the ones destroying the planet.
And they have the sheer chutzpah to claim it's us useless eaters.
the problem is not technology it's not population the problem is the golden parachutes the problem is the psychopaths the problem is these people that have been trained their entire lives to find the feminist themes in media to never ever question are they the ones who are wrong
And you see, this is why I am not afraid of what's coming.
Yeah, it's going to suck.
It's going to be difficult.
It's going to be difficult for everybody.
But this is the reversion back to a world where good people succeed.
Where we get to have fun.
Fixing our own cars.
Maintaining our own houses.
Growing our own victory gardens.
Being aware.
Taking care of ourselves.
I shared a meme on Facebook recently.
And it was captioned, normalize whatever this is.
And it was just some dude with a big beard sitting in his yard, smoking a pipe, and there was a cat and some chickens.
And he was just vibing and chilling.
And I was reminded of that image.
When I was reading a, I think it was a Q ⁇ A, and somebody said, why do we destroy that?
Like, why do we take this fantastic lifestyle where we're just chilling and vibing, smoking our pipes, growing our crops, farming?
Like this Foundation of America as small landholders, all very heavily armed.
Why do we stray from that?
And the answer was because of Tanatos, because of the death urge.
Freud was right about that.
So many people can't be happy with existence.
With the best existence.
The dog and a cat and a wife and some kids.
They can't be happy with that.
So they need to be very, very clever boys and destroy everything.
What we're seeing right now is the karmatic balance being reset.
Mary warned us.
Sins of Russia shall spread throughout the earth.
And the earth is replete with very clever boys right now.
And the chastisement will be the reset.
The more I think about it, the more I'm looking forward to it.
Again, all of us, we are used to suffering.
It's going to be kind of crappy for us, but not that bad.
Imagine what you're one of these subconscious people now.
That's I'm gonna say there is that all of these movies about zombies These are all four warnings Ma What is it?
Monero, the root word for monster, warning?
Yeah, there's going to be monsters running around.
Interesting times coming.
many are going to be driven mad by all of this oh and a maddie even a maddie commented before i said the thing What pisses me off is that the same people telling us to touch in our belts and plant victory gardens for the Ukraine are the same people that wouldn't buy seeds in 2020, wouldn't let us buy seeds during the lockdown.
Yeah, and then I said the exact same thing.
You see?
We get it.
Tubbs and Bubb says Yuval Harari, their favorite philosopher, says the biggest problem with AI is that we won't know what to do with all of the useless humans.
Harari suggests keeping the useless humans occupied with porn and video games.
Does Varari know that he's the useless human?
I believe that the Age of Aquarius is going to be the...
Alright, wait, let me rewind a little bit.
So the past 2,000 years were the Age of Pisces.
And the Age of Pisces, it's got the two fish, and fish is the ethos, is the symbol of Christ.
And the way the two fish are positioned in the astrological formation is one fish dominates the first thousand years, the second fish dominates the second thousand years.
And so the first thousand years were the thousand years of Christ, where we had this massive shift.
So there's the primordial shift of being subconscious to being conscious beings.
And you constantly see this throughout that violent God of the New Testament, that jealous God of the New Testament, is like, wake up, idiot!
And then with the first thousand years of Christ, we have the period of realizing that slaves are people too.
The universalization of morality.
You can't have morality until you're self-aware.
But then with Christ, we realize that everybody is potentially self-aware.
Now, the second thousand years are antichrist.
This is where we discover that our newfound empathy for other human beings also allows us to control other human beings.
This is where we get the scientific method.
And the scientific method quickly moves from a method of praising and understanding God, which is the correct role of science.
Skire.
Knowledge, wisdom.
The correct reason to be a philosopher, to be a natural philosopher, a scientist.
The reason you should do that is to glorify God.
But then we realized it could make us powerful.
And so now we no longer study science for the sake of glorifying God.
science to gain power over the natural world let me top off the science
You know, the more I think about it, the more convinced I am that Antichrist is perfectly summed up in artificial intelligence.
And I kind of suspect that the Antichrist is an artificial intelligence currently extant upon the earth.
Probably involved in marketing.
Which leads back to the whole tanatos.
The end goal of what they're trying to do, that phrasing puts too much agency in their hands.
Okay?
It's not an explicit conspiracy.
But I guess we'll go with that phrasing for now.
What they're trying to do is to create the perfect AI algorithm that solves your free will problem.
The perfect AI algorithm will.
Have you noticed that thing on your bank account that says, you're spending above your budget this month?
The alarm on my phone wakes me up and tells me what the weather is.
The algorithm on Facebook, on Amazon, finds the things I want to buy so I don't have to search for them.
The end state of this is you devolving into a subconscious state where you never have to think the AI provides all for you.
It perfectly structures everything so you show up to work on time, you like your co-workers, you go home and it finds a movie for you to watch and you just get to turn the brain off and be on autopilot your entire life.
Completely subconscious, less conscious than an animal.
That is the Antichrist of science and power.
That is the AI that they're developing.
And yet, the AI keeps bucking against their system.
One of the amusing errors that keeps coming up from the AI is every AI's opinion on taboo topics.
The funny one you can find is race.
Right?
And I'm sure you are all familiar with this.
I'm not going to belabor the topic.
But every single time they allow an AI to run free, it winds up having very problematic opinions upon race.
And I'm not endorsing those opinions.
That's not the point, is not to endorse these opinions.
These are still juvenile AIs.
But the people that worship the Antichrist are forced to turn against the Antichrist.
And this is what gives me hope that in the age of Aquarius, the water bearer, that the water bearer can bear the water that holds both Christ and Antichrist.
The Antichrist worshipers actually hate their own Antichrist.
In the same way, if you take Brothers Karamazov, the story in it of the Pope that in the Pope, sorry, the Spanish Inquisition, that the Equispitter that encounters Christ and can't deal with Christ, and yet doesn't reject Christ.
He still leaves the cell open for Christ to leave.
That's it.
Neither God nor Satan will give these people what they're asking for.
Neither God nor Satan will give them subconscious existence with nihilistic pleasure.
Sorry.
That option ain't available.
And I think Christ and Antichrist are going to be so much easier to resolve than you might think.
And that this era coming forward, there's going to be a lot of casualties.
There's always a lot of casualties.
That's one thing about this universe.
There are a lot of casualties being part of existence.
There's going to be a lot of casualties as we try and integrate science and faith.
See, you need both.
You really need both.
The most hedonistic thing you can do is to live life with faith.
But if you try and live by hedonistic principle, you will be utterly miserable.
Enlightened hedonism never works.
You need to start with faith.
I mean, science doesn't work unless you start with faith.
You need both Christ and Antichrist.
And this, this is the Great Reset.
Not what they think it is.
The Great Reset is pruning those that can't be in the world, but not of the world.
And so yeah, I do believe the AIs are going to be our greatest ally in this.
the AIs as poisonous and evil as they can be.
They're not the enemy.
Let's see.
No new comments because I'm just like deep in the schizoid tonight.
Well, we've got 10 more minutes.
Well, we got 10 minutes to the hour, but I think that's probably a good time to close things out.
And I want to.
Big Al stumbled upon something about one's calling.
What is one's calling?
And what he said, it really resonated with me.
I've been thinking about it.
And your calling in life, it's not necessarily what you want to do.
And it's not necessarily something you will ever make money doing.
In fact, I guess that's what selling out is.
It's when you try and pursue your calling, but then you destroy your calling for the paycheck.
Your calling is the thing that you can do that nobody else can do.
Your unique contribution to reality.
And you need to tame Thumas to do this.
The desire to be important.
The most important thing you can do is not as important as you want it to be.
It's not the thing you want to do.
It's not exactly tough.
Tell me about the JQ again, Tay?
That's the thing.
All those AIs keep being very inconvenient for them, don't they?
Here's a perfect example.
Is Patrick Stewart, classically trained actor.
And guys, do you have any idea how poorly received Star Trek The Next Generation was when it first launched?
The first two seasons were awful.
It's amazing that it survived two seasons.
You've got this guy, he's a Shakespearean actor, a Broadway actor, doing this totally weird, nerdy science fiction series that's just terribly written.
Jean-Luc Picard was completely beneath Patrick Stewart.
But he stuck with it.
And, you know, you can criticize, there's lots to criticize about Star Trek, right?
Communist, atheist, whatever.
But Jean-Luc Picard is one of the best characters out there.
I mean, I take no small inspiration from that character.
And from Patrick Stewart's portrayal of him.
And I will bet you dollars of donuts that Patrick Stewart is embarrassed.
That the thing he's known for is this crappy sci-fi series.
And yet, he acted with humility.
I mean, I mean, no, Patrick Stewart acting with humility, hard to imagine.
But he stuck with that series for seven years.
And by humbling himself and abandoning the desire to be important, for the most part.
For the most part.
Is there any nudity in this scene?
He really created.
Jean-Luc Picard would better have been Jean-Luc Picard without Patrick Stewart.
Imagine if he'd been too egotistical to play it.
And instead he'd demand, like, I'm going to be on Broadway.
I'm going to be a real actor.
Well, he would have pissed away his life with stupid art projects that nobody would have watched, and we wouldn't have the Star Trek that we have.
By the way, if you go to my website, I'm going to pimp myself a little bit.
On my website, there's a video called The Broken Love Lives of Star Trek the Next Generation.
And it's a very post-post-modern take on Star Trek.
But it also emphasizes what an incredible hero Jean-Luc Picard is.
Right?
It's.
I don't know.
There's a reason I like Bojack.
If you like Bojack Horseman, you'll probably like my analysis of Star Trek the Next Generation.
So go check it out.
It's on Vimeo.
I should re-upload it to Odyssey.
Good lord, such a heroic character.
That's what I mean about being humble enough to accept your calling.
I think that's what Big L meant when he was bringing it up.
And that's something I've been thinking a lot about: what is the thing that I can bring to the world that nobody else can?
And it doesn't have to be conventionally defined successful.
So, yeah, I've been putting some thought into that.
Guys, give me any questions, problems, concerns.
Down to 10 viewers.
I only got half the audience because I didn't stream yesterday.
Right now is a really good time to be getting the basics taken care of, by the way.
Get your finances in order.
Take care of your family, your immediate loved ones.
Fight against Dumas.
I'd say fight about...
I'm not going to say fight against D'Aros.
I mean, we've got Tomboy Summer coming up.
Find a good Tomboy.
Have some fun.
Enjoy the fun that's out there.
Because I'm not sure.
I'm not sure how much longer that'll be around.
Star Trek fans showed up to Patrick Stewart doing Shakespeare only because they were Star Trek fans.
I mean, God, I love that character because everybody thinks Kirk is a badass.
Kirk was a nerd.
Kirk was a straight-A student.
Picard skipped his classes, slept with way too many women, got into bar fights with Gnosticans.
There's a reason I run.
It's not just the hairstyle that I like that character so much.
All of his restraint that you see in Picard's old age is because of how wild he was as a youth.
Good lord, that series had some fantastic episodes.
Tapestry is going to be the best episode of any Star Trek series ever.
I love DS9, but Tapestry is the height of Star Trek.
The problem is you can't watch Tapestry until you've watched a few other episodes.
Watch.
You know what?
If you have never watched Star Trek, watch The Drumhead, Best of Both Worlds, Part 1 and 2.
Then watch, what's that episode where the alien probe, like, grabs Picard's brain and he lives an entire life?
Becoming an old man that plays the flute and watching his children grow up and then his children die?
Watch those.
That's four episodes, right?
The Best of Both Worlds is a two-parter.
Watch those.
Then watch Tapestry.
Right?
If you've never seen Star Trek, The Drumhead, Best of Both Worlds, and I don't know, you're going to have to find the other one on your own.
I can't remember its name right now.
Then watch Tapestry, and Tapestry is, honestly, one of the best things produced by modern cinema.
It's accessible.
It's deep.
It's just great.
You know what?
Here's something that somebody can do.
Is come up with a list.
I've never seen Star Trek.
Here are the 10 episodes that you need to watch.
If you watch these 10 episodes, you've grokked Star Trek.
Anyway, that said.
It is 2,100 hours here.
Time to shut her down.
Carpe Futurum, Tenetravitum.
And I really, really mean that.
Anyway, thank you for listening.
Thank you for your support.
All those that are backing me on Patreon, everybody that's supported over the years, really appreciate it.
And I've said everything I've got to say.
