2022 04 30: Defusing the Spiritual Bomb

What is there to be done, aside from preventing this pile from going critical?

Time Text
Good evening folks.
Oh man, that's a good cigarette.
How are you guys doing out there?
I left the tablet uncharged, as usual.
So let's get this thing booted up.
Now, there's only a couple of you so far.
Well, this is a really bad start to the episode, isn't it?
Oh well, we're just going to keep rolling forward.
So the title of this stream is Defusing a Spiritual Bomb.
And I want to talk to you about where that title came from.
You see, I was struggling with a topic.
I had a few things.
I was jotting down some notes, but I was writing it down and saying to myself, like, is this anything other than just complaining?
Right, like, one of the topics was sort of an exploration of how, yeah, I've said this before, but I had a bit more to say about how boomer men really took their women for granted.
They really took their wives for granted.
And part of the part of the unfair negotiation of marriage is that women have all their power at the beginning when they're beautiful and in high demand.
Men have all their power at the end of their lives when they are hopefully rich.
Now, just like, this is being a piece.
And so.
Alright, what's it doing?
do you want?
So we run into a situation where men abandon their women.
They don't feel like performing the obligations of being a patriarch, which typically means supporting everybody and not getting any appreciation for it, being taken for granted.
Having everybody mouth off and rebel at you because you're the authority.
So yeah, that's what you get as a man if you're married.
If you're not married, you can continue to date 20-year-olds your whole life.
You just have nothing, nobody remembers who you are in a generation.
But a lot of boomer men defaulted on that, and so why is a woman going to volunteer to become a wife if every single marriage is just later, the guy's dropping out, the guy's not fulfilling their half of the bargain?
Why wouldn't she want divorce laws that protect her and allow her to ease her way out of it?
And so I was thinking about writing or talking a bit more about that.
But it just was coming like, to what end would I even be saying any of this?
Am I just complaining?
Because it's like, yeah, it's kind of true.
Well, it's very true.
But pointing out that things are bad, well, okay, how do we fix them?
Don't want to be just Mr. Doom Prophet complaining about everything.
And, okay, there we go.
We got her working now.
Yeah, it's good whiskey too.
Hope you guys are having a good Saturday night so far.
And see, then what happened is I came back home at a coffee shop jotting down notes.
And one of my friends posted a video by the Golden One.
And that video kind of snapped me back into having a direction again.
In the video, the Golden One was talking about resentment.
About that nasty viciousness people have.
Where, you know, he gets called a right-wing extremist.
When, now I'm not super familiar with his work, but what has he ever said that was right-wing extremism?
I mean, even myself.
I mean, I say a lot of things when I'm drunk, but no, I'm not exactly going out there and voting for candidates that they're like, what it's a story.
It's not an argument, as our friend Melanie would say.
It is just labeling, and it's resentment.
It's this growing hatred that people have in themselves.
This unexpressed hatred.
And things like Marxism are funneling this innate anxiety that comes from being a conscious being into something very, very dangerous.
And so I think that concept, like embracing that concept of defusing a spiritual bomb, I think that is a useful one.
Now, how's battery doing?
Not great.
Oh, it can go like this and I can read it.
Most 20-year-olds are totally uninterested in old men.
Yeah, it doesn't have to be most.
It just needs to be some.
On the last stream, I was discussing Normie Radio and how utterly ridiculous it is that every victim group...
every extant victim group, blames the establishment for their own neuroses.
It was the Christians that made gays feel bad about themselves.
It was the men that made women feel bad about themselves.
It was the capitalism that forced criminals to go commit crimes.
And since I usually don't touch mainstream media with a 10-foot pole, see, if you watch sports ball all the time, you know, it's the boiling front.
You don't notice what's going on.
Whereas myself, I stopped watching television about 20 years ago.
Couldn't afford one for a long time.
And then I just got used to not watching television, so I've never bought a TV.
And on the rare occasion that I did see television, it was usually over like a gap of several months or even a couple of years.
And I tune into a regular television with commercials, and the commercials would be remarkably stupider, and they'd have brighter colors.
And they'd be far more irritating.
And it was obvious to me because I was doing these gaps, you know, it's a slow gradient.
But I don't know, go compare television commercials from the 80s to today.
Okay, you will notice the difference.
And so the same thing with the general normie psycho-brain.
Because I never consume mainstream media.
On the rare instance where I do, I'm like, oh my god, these people are psycho-brain.
Their brain has the psycho.
And it's just so crazy to me.
Like, listening to these people talk, right?
Listening to the fat activists talk about how, oh, society judges me from babe, we all aren't happy with our bodies.
Right?
People that go to the gym are not happy with their bodies.
Nobody, what you're experiencing is not the patriarchy.
The people in the patriarchy feel the exact same thing.
Same thing with homosexuality.
I mean, I'll be honest, I cannot remember the last time I heard a priest talk about homosexuality.
It's been over a year.
Listen, our species is highly neurotic about sex.
Because of the biological features of sex, let alone the mental and spiritual features, it's an extremely vulnerable thing that innately makes you feel embarrassed and neurotic and everything else.
And that's just sex.
People that have nothing but vanilla sex within marriage feel the exact same way.
It's not the church doing it to you.
It's being a human doing that to you.
Same thing with capitalism.
Capitalism did not invent greed.
Good lord, there's rich people that are occasionally attempted to steal something.
Like, oh, look, that thing's not bolted down.
I could just take it.
That's innate.
It's not some conspiracy that did that thing.
That is just life, man.
But the reason that Marxism is so poisonous is because it takes all of these...
Oh, what do you want?
I guess we'll call them negative emotions.
I don't like that term because it's too simplistic.
Doesn't explain itself adequately.
Actually, no, we'll go with the term that the golden one was using.
Resentment.
It takes all of this resentment, and it collects it in one place and weaponizes it.
And it seems to be a fairly effective way of organizing people.
I mean, if these individuals had any self-awareness whatsoever, then they would realize, yeah, this is how the Nazis came to power.
This is how totalitarian regimes always come to power.
They take the collectivized resentment of the population and says, oh, the reason you feel bad, the reason that your life isn't perfect, the reason it's not just waves of bliss and moonbeams and gumdrops all the time.
Oh, it's those people over there.
did it to you.
You follow my agenda and we'll go kill those people and then you'll have all your sunshine and rainbows and unicorns.
They'll all come back.
Just sign the dotted line.
And so, they go along with it.
They go along with it.
Big L is here, says, sex used to imply intimacy and vulnerability.
Vulnerability is awkward.
Well, that's exactly it.
Like, what's the whole big thing about the gay movement was coming out of the closet.
Right?
Because when you're in the closet, you could be outed.
You can be embarrassed by that.
But if you come out of the closet, then supposedly nobody has anything on you anymore.
And it's not just homosexuality where you have to worry about this.
It's like, it's everything.
Okay, so you go and sleep with a girl.
And then the next day you find out that she was in public discussing the precise shape of your sexual anatomy and rating your performance on a 1 to 10 scale.
How do you feel right now?
Yeah, there's vulnerability involved in sex.
And that's why I've been getting into kinks and fetish.
There's just boring old sex.
Just boring old sex.
You know, you're humming the national anthem while you do it and trying not to look at her breasts.
That kind of sex.
Even that, there's vulnerability in the potential child that's produced.
There's, well, there's disease vulnerability.
There's the fact that afterwards, either of you can go and spread malicious rumors about the other person.
Right?
Even if you didn't do anything, they could just say you did.
They could just say, he asked me to fart on him.
You know?
They could say whatever you want.
Lots of salacious gossip coming out of that because it's a private thing.
So yeah, it's neurotic.
Sex makes us very neurotic.
And so, we had the gay rights movement.
We had, you know, coming out of the closet.
These days, you're better out of the closet than in the closet.
Now, there's an episode of, what was that show with David Duchovny in California?
His agent pretended to be gay for all the business advantages that it would give him.
Yeah, so there's, and honestly, nobody, very few people still care who you have sex with.
And yet there's still that neuroticism.
Oh, it must be really, really latent homophobia.
So latent that even though nobody talks about it, it's oppressing us.
It's like that white supremism thing.
If you don't think you're racist, that means you are super racist because you haven't acknowledged your privilege.
And the thing is, the negative emotions will never go away.
Right?
As long as you live.
I mean, I constantly, like, did I make an ass of myself last week?
And, you know, I probably didn't.
Probably nobody cares.
Probably they had a good time hanging out with me, but there's always that little niggling voice.
Did I make an ass of myself?
Voice tends to go away right after receiving communion for some reason or leaving a confessional.
Probably nothing to that.
But yeah, instead of dealing with these emotions properly, they get channeled into hatred.
And so now you've got so many of the kids of this generation.
I guess, you know what, things are definitely getting worse, but it's not like fundamentally they've changed.
fundamentally they've changed.
So many kids are inducted into cults where you blame all the evil on something else.
Someone else.
and you get inducted into the organization.
You know, there's three, I would say there's three major functions that religion serves.
Number one, it provides you harmless rituals to deal with neuroticism.
There are so many people out there that are just bundles of neuroses looking for an outlet.
And religion provided those outlets.
Right?
These crazy women marching up and down the street would be making annoyances of themselves at the church instead.
And for the most part, they weren't too destructive back when they were doing that.
The church would give them a vehicle to work out all their neuroses.
Yeah, therapists really haven't been very good at replacing the church, have they?
Just saw an ad on Facebook of it's an online therapy organization that's offering therapy to help you get into therapy in case getting into therapy makes you afraid.
Hey, dog, heard you like therapy.
So we put some therapy in your therapy so you can get therapy to go to therapy.
The second big thing that religion does is it explains morality to idiots.
Remember, 50% of people are below average, and the average is not very bright at all.
Remember not to drink poison or your co-workers will be sad.
Yeah, there's people out there that need to be told that.
They need to be point out that, you know, if you drink that methanol and die, people will be really sad.
Oh, I never thought of that.
Wow, you're smart.
Jesus Christ.
Religion affirms the good and true and beautiful.
Which.
See, see, you're thinking.
You are thinking that the good and true and beautiful stand for themselves, don't they?
Why would we need an organized hierarchy to enforce the good, the truth?
They stand for themselves.
Free marketplace ideas.
And you are vastly overestimating people.
There's this book that I quite like called The Last Unicorn.
They also made it into a fantastic movie, although they made it more of a kids' movie and they cut out some really crucial bits.
But America did the soundtrack, and it rocked.
Now in the story, at one point the unicorn gets captured by an old witch who makes a living running a sideshow attraction.
The monsters of the world.
Come stare at the monsters of the world.
And so it's a total BS group of carny scumbags.
But she's a real witch.
And in the carnival, all of the creatures are fake.
Manticore is just an old toothless lion.
The Midgard Serpent, it's actually just a regular BOA constrictor.
And the witch casts illusions on all of these things to make them look like what she tells the rubes they are.
Which is, again, guys, magic is real.
It comes through the TV.
That's all illusions.
It is all glamour.
And glamour is just the Irish word for magic.
But there are now two real things in that carnival.
The unicorn and a harpy.
But for people to see the unicorn, because anybody that actually met the unicorn, 99% of people would look at the unicorn and say, oh, it's just an old mare.
Just a horse.
To get people to see the unicorn, the witch had to cast an illusion of a horn on the unicorn.
Because otherwise people just see a horse.
And that's the world we live in, folks.
If there isn't somebody to cast the illusion of the true and good and the beautiful on the true and the good and the beautiful, most people won't see it.
I was discussing on my last stream about the four types of thinking that people engage in.
There's four ways they think.
Magical, social, religious, and logical.
Magical thinking is basically how animals think.
Right?
And so the magical thinking is applying an animalistic sort of reason onto the complex structures of reality.
The engineering of ergonomics is all about matching up engineered reality with magical thinking.
Next, you've got social thinking.
Right?
So the clever humans, the clever humans start to apply social thinking to examining how the group behaves and making sure that they're on the winning side of any debate.
With social thinking, truth is determined by popularity, not by truthiness.
Then you've got religious thinking.
Which is, you know, with the decline of religion, we are really seeing just how innate religion is.
Marxism is absolutely a religion.
It works on the same brain circuits.
Humans have a need for this.
Have you seen the proliferation of people using gender pronouns in their introductions in their bios?
Yeah, that's religion.
It's an idiotic religion, but it's still a religion.
It's a religion that crumbles upon itself and makes no logical sense and can't predict where it's even going to go in the future.
Still a religion, though.
And then finally, you've got logical thinking.
And now the problem with logical thinking is that it's almost impossible to communicate to the other three.
And logical thinking doesn't tell you what to do.
It just tells you what is.
And you do not get an ought from an is, and so all of that's kind of background.
As to because I've been asking the question it's.
I started off this stream saying that you know I could talk about X, Y and Z, but it would.
It sounds to me like I'm just complaining, which you know.
there's enough people just complaining about things what are we supposed to be doing I'll tell you what I'm going to start doing by getting ice for my drink.
Too low.
What we should be doing is trying to get rid of this spiritual bomb.
This huge pile of plutonium that's piling up and getting hotter.
And the difficulty we face is that if you have the eyes to see the spiritual bomb, then you do not have the ability to communicate to those people that are creating it.
You know let me approach this angle from another tech This this question what I'm trying to communicate here Ten years ago I identified myself on the right wing of the political spectrum Not because I was particularly right wing
Again, I'm just a libertarian.
I just want to be left alone I don't really care what other people do.
I'm a exploratory creative.
I don't like oppressive rural systems.
Some people love oppressive rural systems.
I don't.
But ten years ago, it was becoming evident that the left was spiraling out of control.
And so a lot of us identified as conservative to try because the conservatives are supposed to hold on to the good things of the past.
At this point, it's pretty clear they don't do that at all.
Like, I don't care if a conservative is the next prime minister of Canada.
I don't think it will make that much of a difference.
Hasn't yet.
I mean, even Trump didn't hold anything back.
Not really.
Like, we're still where we are today.
So, yeah, I wouldn't call myself conservative anymore.
Because the fundamental problem that we're facing is not that the tax rate is slightly too high.
We are dealing with a far deeper crisis when, I mean, okay, so look at California with their current refusal to prosecute theft.
And the exact, like the predictable thing happened.
We are not functioning in a society where, oh, the problem is that the liberals just have a bad theory.
They just have a bad hypothesis and they're running forward with it.
Now, if that was the problem, then they would go do their social experiment.
The social experiment would fail and we would go back to tradition.
The social experiment, first of all, it makes no sense.
It's not even a theory.
Right?
There is no actual explanation.
No logically consistent, valid explanation of why not arresting criminals will reduce crime.
It's praxis.
And, you know, praxis, the wedding of theory and practice.
So it's really neither.
It's just funneled resentment.
So no surprises for making everything worse.
So no, the problem is not that the liberals are wrong.
It's that they're crazy.
And that's not a battle that conservatism is equipped to fight.
Furthermore, Furthermore, it's too damned late at this hour.
Even if we could fight the radicals of the left with conservative politics, it's too damn late to do that.
When your limb starts smelling of almonds, it needs to be cut off.
It's already gone.
And the demographic kill shot already happened.
There's a lot of them.
There's a lot of factors going into it.
Don't really need to list them right now.
Might be worth listing them some other time, but the data is in.
Too many kids growing up in single mother households.
Too many people with no direction in life.
Too many people that are so screwed up psychologically or financially or whatever it might be that they're not going to reproduce.
So the demographic kill shot is already here.
So we ain't going to save nothing.
It's already dead.
Doesn't mean that we are dead.
But whatever that thing in the 20th century, that thing that we have been trying to preserve, all the good things about that 1600-year-old civilization.
Sorry, $1,200.
Yeah, we ain't saving that.
It's already dead, folks.
I'll tell you, once you realize that, once you really grok that, it's liberating in that you no longer care about politics.
In fact, I've been frustrated finding things to care about.
Maybe I need to start reading up on Warhammer 40K or something.
Because I go and check, well, what's the news?
Oh, the thing I don't care about.
I swear, the only thing more insipid than celebrity gossip is reading the newspaper.
Oh look, a whole bunch of stuff that's all fake and gay.
Even that stuff that's true, they create a plastic model to show us.
So what ought one to be doing?
Where ought we to put our attention?
Defusing spiritual bond.
And actually, guys, we've done...
I'd say we've done pretty well over the past couple of years.
The past couple of years was an absolute build-up to all of this.
It was the bomb hitting critical mass.
And we've dragged our feet enough that it didn't quite get there.
See, Big L says, the true, the good, and the beautiful is perpetual, like the God Emperor.
It will die only to be reborn.
Oh yeah, Good the True and the Beautiful ain't going anywhere.
It's just that we are...
What's the saying?
The radical left likes to murder an institution and then walk around wearing its skin.
Yeah, those institutions ain't coming back.
But really, those institutions were already very sick and dying when we were kids.
Take professional sports, for example.
So, sporting started out in the 19th century.
Now, in the 19th century, it became popular in Britain to send your kids to a public school, which is a private school, just to keep things super simple for you.
It became popular that to teach your boys to be men, right?
And I don't know the exact history on this.
I would guess is that with the kind of the end of the age of exploration, there are all these legends and heroes of the age of exploration.
And they had all gone out as young men.
And, you know, when they were 10, 12, 14, they had gone out and been an apprentice.
And that's where they learned the valuable lessons that turned them to them, the legend that they became.
And so then it became popular, and so we got the public school system where you would take your sons and you'd ship them off for three quarters of the year, because who the heck wants to deal with your own children?
And one of the things that they would do in these public schools is they would teach them sports.
You had organized sporting develop alongside the public schools right, and the concept was that it teach them good sportsmanship, it would make a man out of them so that you would have useful soldiers in your army.
And then, as the years went by, you started to see college teams.
I mean, it's still weird to me that colleges and universities have sportsball teams.
I just I do not associate, maybe I should, but like when I found out that McMaster had I think it had a football team, I was like that's weird.
Why would we have a football team?
But they do.
It started off as a.
You know the guys that really liked sports ball back when they were in primary school and secondary school I guess I should say secondary school.
Now that they're at university, oh well what?
We're gonna start our, our rugby club.
That's gonna become the official rugby club.
Then it's gonna get popular and we're gonna sell tickets.
Then the whole thing goes to the dogs.
It is mop theory every single time.
The geeks are sick of the old sound because it's too corporate, it's too manufactured.
So the geeks create the new sound.
And the new sound's pretty cool if you're a geek, but for the most part still experimental.
But then you start, you start to get some traction right.
Sometimes there will be a bar where the new sound is playing and all the geeks will show up, the geeks playing the music, the geeks listening to the music, they all show up for the new sound.
Then you got the mops, The people that, I don't know what I'm doing Friday night, I just want to go somewhere interesting.
Okay, so the mops start showing up.
At first, the geeks are excited.
It's like, oh, somebody else can appreciate the new sound.
Now, the mops are just there to hang out.
And a few people make some money.
It looks like the scene is growing.
Then the psychopaths show up.
The psychopaths figure out how to monetize it.
And the best way to monetize the new sound is to make it sound a little bit more like the old sound.
And soon enough, the geeks are kicked out.
And it's nothing but mops and psychopaths.
And nobody can understand why things suck.
So yeah, that's what happened.
We went from teaching boys how to be men through sports ball, to sports ball in college, to professional level sports ball, and now we're at the point where sports ball is lecturing you about how you should be ashamed of your skin color,
Because that's a positive message.
So that's what I was saying.
Even the institutions we remember from the 80s, 90s, they're already dying.
you know if you if you grew up in the 80s 90s I don't know what it's like today but sports ball was all over the place right it was the the only valid form of masculinity that was taught
Part of the reason Cobra Kai has been so popular is is that actual prowess prowess, prowess in combat is a suppressed masculine virtue and people think that, like now.
Karate was sort of popular back in the 80s and 90s, but it actually wasn't that popular.
You had two versions of actual masculinity allowed back then.
You had Arnold Schwarzenegger action movies, which are retarded okay, like they are just as retarded as Marvel movies.
They're just not quite as obviously retarded.
You want to talk about the slow decline of the institutions.
Back in the 50s 60s, even some of the movies from the 70s you had actual like the men making those movies, the men watching those movies, they were combat veterans.
Okay, they'd actually been to war and they wrote about what war is actually like.
By the time the 80s rolled around, most men hadn't been to war.
They thought guns were cool, but they hadn't been to war.
And so you got this hopped up steroid driven version of war with Rambo, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.
And Nowadays, nowadays, people are afraid of guns.
Guns aren't cool anymore.
So you get Marvel movies.
But see, yes, the 80s action movies were better than today, but they were just an early stage of cancer.
Why would we conserve the early stage of cancer?
We're not worried about the death of the true, good, and the beautiful.
We are not existentially worried about our own personal deaths.
Right?
Now, don't get me wrong, the world is far more dangerous today.
It is far more difficult to navigate.
Finding a wife these days is not easy.
In fact, I've got, I am.
I wrote an article about how Tinder has chatbots now.
They don't just have fake profiles to make the place look really popular.
They've got chatbots.
They've got fake male profiles that will talk to women and keep the women occupied.
They've got all these digital chats that will talk to women endlessly.
That's Tinder.
Now, I was just checking Bumble and I noticed something really interesting.
When I was out of town on work, Bumble actually kind of worked.
I actually get matches.
I actually talk to people.
I come back home to Calgary, which is the largest city in the province.
Calgary is kind of a big deal.
And I'm looking at these profiles.
I'm not getting any responses.
And I'm looking at them, wondering how many, are they seeding the fake profiles in particular areas?
I think they might be.
So like, these days, the only dating apps that actually work are for the gay community.
If you're trying to find a woman to raise your children, good luck.
All of the heterosexual dating apps have been, well, I'm not going to say all of them, but the ones I'm aware of, the free ones anyway, completely undermined.
So good luck finding that waifu.
You ain't going to do it on the dating app.
So in that sense, yeah, be existentially worried.
Yes, things are more challenging, but the dying institutions does not mean that you die with them.
It means that maybe your life is harder.
But let's be frank, it was harder already.
Okay, the institutions of the 80s and 90s were also exploitative.
It's just that they're getting exploitative at a faster and faster rate.
Big L says, right now, we're the psychers sacrificing ourselves to the God Emperor so that the God Emperor can technically live on.
Right, right.
okay let me expand upon this the I'm gonna get a few things wrong nerds so don't hate me for this but
But the God Emperor was the creation of the 12 strongest psychers that existed in early human prehistory to manifest their own psychic power and humanity's virtue into a single being who became eventually known as the God Emperor.
He's actually been alive for like 10,000 years, something like that.
And that psychic energy, like psychic energy doesn't go away.
You don't just kill the God Emperor and the problems dealt with.
No, if he were to die, there's...
Like, I'm sure there's debate and details I don't know about.
Don't care.
But if the God Emperor were to die, he would be reincarnated.
That energy would go somewhere.
It wouldn't just disappear.
And now I'm hitting the point, I'm either ripping off of 40k or I'm saying something that's been said already a dozen times.
I've got no idea.
but the irony of 40k you know it's so funny like these leftoids that now they want female space marines you know now they want representation they wanted 40k is not a nice place That's the whole point of it.
It's the most horrific dystopia you can possibly imagine that is also justified in being a dystopia.
But one of the dramatic ironies of the 40k universe is that thanks to the Horus heresy, the Emperor died, but he's not completely dead.
They manage to strap his body to the throne and keep it, keep the pulse going so that the consciousness, the conscious energy, the psychic energy, at least has a home to reside in.
I mean, he can't move, he can't speak, he can't do anything, but he's still the God Emperor.
And through his force of will, he holds open the pathways in the war.
He establishes the logos that humanity needs to exist in the presence of the chaos gods.
But because he can't speak, the whole society has been reduced to the worst form of primitivism and fetish worship.
They took the man who, in 40k lore, the God Emperor, was completely opposed to religion and superstitious thinking.
What we would call magical thinking.
You know, like me, I'm not opposed to it.
I just think it's inevitable.
People are really, really stupid.
God Emperor would have liked to make everybody into a noble, enlightened 19th century atheist.
Which is an animal I don't think actually exists, but I mean if it existed, it would be really cool.
But without his voice, he became an article of worship.
He never wanted to be worshipped.
He wanted to liberate humanity with the truth.
And so the dramatic irony is if the emperor were allowed to die.
If he had died, if he were allowed to die.
First off, closing the warp would probably be better for humanity as a whole.
Instead of trying to maintain this vast empire and sending billions to their death every single day to fight off the horrific hordes of monsters that exist, we'd lose a few planets, but humanity would start flourishing again.
And then we'd develop the technology to completely wipe out all the Xenos.
Second, the Emperor would be reincarnated in an actual body with physical agency.
So there's actually no reason to even keep him alive on that throne.
To keep him in living death.
The Emperor is dead.
Long live the Emperor.
What a tremendous hellscape that universe is.
You know, anytime you get too depressed about this timeline, at least we don't live in 40k yet.
So, oh, and Big L says, it's ambiguous in the story if the God Emperor is dead or just barely alive.
It's also ambiguous if he really dies, he will finally regenerate.
Yeah, it's very ambiguous.
He's the living dead emperor.
And yet I think that my little riffing there is kind of ironically implied, right?
And the wonderful thing about 40k is how they take this stupidest premise you could possibly imagine, and it is just chock full of Shakespearean levels of irony.
So I'm going to call that headcanon for myself from now on.
You know, these things that, these institutions that are corrupt and dying.
All right, take the whole issue of trans in sports, which is actually, sorry, I'm going to be an internet autist for a second.
It's actually really, really easy to solve this problem.
No modified humans.
That's it.
No modified humans.
If you are taking hormones because you're trans, if you're taking hormones to fight cancer, don't care.
You're a mod.
Not allowed.
Only purebred humans are allowed to compete in sports.
And the reason for this, we've had this for a long time.
Okay, this is not a new thing.
We do not allow modified humans in sports.
And it's a straightforward, simple reason.
If you allowed mods in sports, it would lose all of its marketable veneer as principled and heroic and anybody can do it.
If you allowed mods, every single professional athlete would die by the age of 40.
Because, hey, do you want better physical performance?
Have a cup of coffee.
You're now a mod.
If you want even better physical performance, have some steroids.
It's not that you can't mod yourself safely.
It's not that, oh, that person died of a drug overdose.
Ergo, I'm going to stop smoking.
I'm going to stop drinking coffee.
I'm not going to listen to any more binaural beats because some idiot overdosed on an opioid.
Which they literally hand out a free drug at every grocery store.
You can just go request one.
Just go and ask.
They give it away for free to restart your heart if you have an opioid overdose.
Right?
But that idiot died of an opioid overdose.
Ergo, I'm going to cut sugar out of my diet.
It's stupid.
Yeah, all mods can be, all mods come with dangers, but they can be used responsibly.
Problem is that when you're in a competitive environment like professional sports, right, there is no room to be second tier in professional sports.
You can be a second tier engineer and make really good money.
You can be a fifth tier engineer and make really good money.
Most industries, you don't have to be the best.
There's like a threshold of competence, and if you are above that, you're pretty much guaranteed employment.
But industries like professional sports, only the 0.1% can do it of the people that are qualified.
I am in decent physical shape, but I'm not qualified for professional sports.
I guess I played football in high school, but what I'm saying is that for every person that plays as a professional athlete, there are 999 that could almost be that good.
They are way better than me.
They play football every weekend, but they will never do football for money.
Again, unlike most jobs, most jobs, it's that threshold is way lower.
So you don't have to, like, if you just want to be a half-assed engineer, you do good work in the office, but in the evenings, I don't know, you play the saxophone or something.
Make love to your wife.
You organize the committee for the local orgy store.
Right?
Yet you're not living, breathing, eating, engineering 24-7.
There's still room for you as an engineer.
Not so with professional sports.
And so with professional sports, if we allowed them to mod themselves through hormone adjustment, through anything that is on the experimental fringe of mods, if we allowed that, well, race to the bottom, they would all be doing it.
Every one of them would be roided up to the teeth, and they would all be dying of heart attacks at the age of 40.
I mean, like, listen, guys, even with the way things are in professional sports, most of them die early.
Most of them suffer some pretty major brain damage from the career.
Right?
And they try and paint over that.
Actually, one of the major problems with sport, here's an interesting little thing that came up.
So back when football had the leather helmets, as opposed to those gargantuan stormtrooper helmets they wear these days, like the face mask and all that, people got busted in the face a lot more often, which is ugly to see.
Facial wounds bleed a lot.
But you have fewer permanent injuries.
Whereas nowadays, with that giant gargantuan face mask on, that actually leads to a lot of spinal damage, which can be very, very bad.
But which one do people notice?
People don't notice a guy that is crippled and can't leave the house because he got spinal damage being a professional sportsball player.
They can notice the guy that's got cauliflower ear or it's like a couple of missing teeth or whatever.
And nobody wanted to see the sports ball players getting injured.
So they move to the equipment that actually causes more injuries, but they're less publicly noticeable.
Sports ball has an incentive to appear safe and fair.
Again, appear, right?
You know, put the horn on the unicorn, guys.
The normies do not understand.
They are just mops afterwards, after all.
So, yeah, the whole trans and sports thing is just no modified humans.
And I'm sorry, if you're trans, you are now a modified human.
I don't think that's offensive.
You are quite literally a modified human.
And it's not that you're less of a human.
It's that we have stupidly stringent rules about who gets to be a sports baller because sports balling, hate to break it to y'all, it's fake and gay.
Good lord, they're all genetic mutants anyway.
Right?
They're just, they're genetic mutants that don't take delicious steroids.
It's an arbitrary categorization for an arbitrary entertainment industry.
Demanding unmodded humans For your sports ball industry is no different than the porn industry acting that asking for the guy that's gonna be playing the BBC to actually be of African ancestry.
It's, that's all it is.
Arbitrary standard for marketing a stupid game for children that was supposed to teach virtue and now teaches you to be a fat idiot.
So, are trans women ruining sports?
Trans men for that matter?
No.
Sports was already ruined and sports needs to die because sports has not supported the good, the true, and the beautiful for a long time now.
Just that, back when we were kids, it was closer to aping it.
Man, I remember, Big L's left a bunch of good comments.
Can't wait to get to them.
I remember, like, I said that sports ball was a big thing in the 80s.
Karate wasn't.
Karate had to sell itself as karate is only for self-defense.
Okay, what does that even mean?
So last I checked, the best defense is a good offense.
Now, karate had to sell itself as A, we're not one of the gangs from the 80s, which was nothing but lead poisoning.
90% lead poisoning.
Yeah, they poison a bunch of people with lead.
They become violent and temperamental.
Oh, will my kid get lead poisoning if he goes to the karate academy?
No, no, they don't inject kids with lead at the karate school.
Think your kid will be fine.
No, there's only one acceptable form of violence.
No, no, sorry, two acceptable forms of violence in the 80s and 90s.
Number one was stupid action movies.
Number two was sports ball.
And they were both fake and gay.
And so if you wanted to have kids show up to your karate class so you can make money as a karate instructor, you had to convince the parents that karate is fake and gay.
Why should we be upset that that world is dying?
So let's see, Big L says, if the emperor definitively dies, humanity's power structure would crumble, which honestly, there were, listen, some of the planets in the empire were terrible before the empire showed up and reestablished itself.
Others were paradises, right?
It's, I think we, I think that one of the ways we get ahead is experimentation and that the undying horror of the 40th millennium is the fact that nothing ever changes and nothing ever will change.
Because nobody is allowed to experiment.
It says, the ambiguous nature of the emperor's life status is the cornerstone of the power structure.
Yeah.
Yeah, so even if I'm physically wrong about what will happen if the emperor dies.
It's sociologically, it's the fiction of the emperor existing, which maintains everything.
So if he died, I'm not saying things would get better, but at least they would be different.
To which 40k would say, have you seen the dark eldar?
This hellscape ain't nothing compared to what it could be.
This hellscape is a paradise compared to what's waiting out there.
Oh, the manifest horrors of being a sapient creature.
We can always imagine things getting worse.
So to tie this all together, defusing the bomb.
It's one of these catch-22s.
There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza.
If we could communicate to these people, I mean, like, go talk to somebody about Ukraine, okay?
You obviously cannot communicate to these people.
You might as well be speaking a different language.
And I don't know, like, maybe pray for the gift of speaking in tongues.
Maybe then you'll communicate to them.
Hmm.
It's not a bad thing to pray for, actually.
We're speaking a different language from them.
And yeah, I said this.
I think I said this on stream about a month or two back, that the hatred that these individual people, okay, I'm not talking about the media right now.
I'm talking about the people watching the media.
You know, just the, I, just earlier today, there was some idiot driving down the road with a Ukrainian flag sticking out of his car.
Wasn't even a nice car, man.
That guy probably can't afford rent.
And he spent, what, 40, 50 bucks on getting a flag on his car to show that he supports the current thing.
You moron.
But it's not just that he's a moron.
It's not like a moron is somebody that gets into an argument with his best friend on whether Superman or Batman would win in a fight and then never talks to his friend again.
That's a moron.
Okay?
No, no, these people, they're doing more than just being morons.
They are fostering hatred.
Every time they watch the news, I can't believe there is still news about Ukraine.
Who cares?
Every time they watch that news, every time they sit in their domicile, stewing in hatred, researching new reasons to hate Russia.
Well, do you know they have oligarchs in Russia?
Oligarchs are bad.
Elon Musk will save us from the oligarchs.
What does his father do again?
Something about owning blood diamond mines?
Anyway, all of this evil karma has ripple effects.
All of this nastiness goes out into the universe.
I mean, that's just one, good Lord, that's just one example.
Man, there's so much of it.
All of these people posting their pronouns.
Hey, lady, you got tits, long blonde hair?
I don't think you need to say she, her.
I think I already know that.
You're being belligerent and aggressive when you do that.
All of that bad karma is trying to, it's trying to find places to habitat.
Trying to find people to take over.
Yeah, we really are seeing a demonic upsurge, aren't we?
So how do we defuse that?
Owning the ribs is not how you defuse that.
Defuse it and avoid it.
And to go back to karate, it's about not getting hurt.
It's about surviving.
You know, there have been far too many people over the past few years.
Screw your optics.
I'm going in.
fed posting you know if you've got somebody that just got hired at your workplace you take one look at them and you can already tell that they post their pronouns on twitter going and starting to fight with them to own the libs doesn't accomplish anything.
All the guys that were during the Trump years, all those guys going out on the streets and getting into scraps with Antifa, they didn't actually do anything to help us.
And who's that guy?
The comedian that goes and argues with liberals on campus?
Prove me wrong, libtard!
What did he actually accomplish?
You know, fights are exciting to watch.
That's why we invented sports ball, so it can be a fake gay fight.
Where nobody gets hurt, but we can all pretend that it matters, so that the idiots are entertained.
How does owning the libs accomplish anything?
You're not...
You're not confronted.
The thing with the shit libs.
The thing with the radical left is you're not confronting a belief system, okay?
Like, if you haven't figured it out yet, it's not an actual belief system.
It's a buildup of really bad psychic energy.
It's a festering psychic wound.
And when you go up and you fight with them, whether you're scrapping with Antifa on the streets or if you're owning the liberals on a college campus, you haven't actually won anything.
Now, it's an entertaining fight.
And if you market it correctly, you can be a really popular YouTube personality.
But you haven't accomplished anything and you might have just made things worse.
Defusing the bomb does not mean being an idiot conservative, but it's very much something worth doing.
And you know, I'm going to finish off shortly.
We're going to finish, and I don't quite have the answer, right?
I mean, if you could talk to them like a sane internet autist, then they wouldn't be a threat to begin with.
It's the fact that they don't understand the language of logic that makes them a threat.
So I don't quite have a solution.
I guess I'm pointing out problems and I don't have a solution for them.
But I've got a direction for a solution.
And the difference between what they're trying to do and what we're trying to do.
What they're trying to do is scrub out all the evil from the universe.
If they have not, if they have only scrubbed out 99% of the evil, that 1% will still cause false consciousness.
It will still instill self-doubt until they get to 100% everything, like they have still failed.
We don't need 100%.
In fact, it's the exact opposite.
When you're diffusing a bomb, it's actually quite simple.
A...
A bomb is a very particular organization of energy and materials.
It's very, very dangerous, but it's also very complex and easy to break.
All you need to do is snip one wire.
All the explosive material is still there.
All the electronics are there.
The ticker is still there.
But it's not a bomb anymore.
We're talking about a radioactive pile.
We don't need to reduce radiation levels to zero to stop a nuclear bomb from going off.
We just need to separate the physical material.
We don't need an absolute victory to be victorious.
They do.
And so defusing the bomb, sometimes you defuse it strategically by snipping the red wire.
Otherwise, Other times you diffuse it instrumentally by just separating the components.
But yeah, to diffuse this bomb, see, argument ellipse.
Owning the lips, that doesn't really accomplish anything.
Self-righteousness is vanity.
But if we cool down the pile, that might prevent her from going critical.
Anyway, folks, thank you very much for listening.
Sorry about the shake-up on the live stream timing.
It will be next Friday unless an absolute emergency crops up, which I really hope it won't, but we'll see.
Carpe futurum tenatritum.
