Essence over empire or how I learned to stop caring about group chats and love the Hugo boss.
How are all of you folks doing?
If you could give me some comments in the live stream chat, just so I know it's working.
Actually works pretty well on here.
Geez, my last live stream was called Stay Calm and Trust the Frogs.
I mean, there's some thematic similarities, aren't there?
Mitch Crane, glad to have you, man.
The thematic similarities are not intentional.
It's just that, well, we are in the same place we were a week ago, I suppose.
Let me ask you, is anybody else feeling tired?
Feeling fatigued, you might even say.
Is anybody else feeling like they've spent so long trying to explain ideas to people, trying to build bridges?
All for this, like, what's happening right now?
There's a silly no kings protest going on.
New kings!
New kings!
Yeah, Donald Trump's not trying to be a king.
You are freaking ridiculous.
There's the you know, I think I need a little bit more light in here.
It's very cinematic, but maybe a little bit too much.
Let's uh how's that?
I don't know that that helped at all.
Mitch Crane says I gave up on building bridges a long time ago.
Correct.
That is the correct stance.
And, you know, I'm going to briefly say something, okay?
I'm not going to dwell on this.
But I do have a multi-ethnic audience.
Actually, right now, I'm learning conversational Inuit, right?
I've managed to make some Inuit friends when I'm up north.
None of us are actually bigots.
Okay.
The idea that it's absurd.
It's utterly absurd.
So my brief caveat is I'm going to be taking things from my perspective and my people's perspective.
But I wish nothing but blessings upon all peoples of the earth.
And I think the same advice that I'm going to be talking about, embracing your roots, return, know where you came from.
I think this actually applies to all people.
But I am going to be talking from my perspective.
This isn't meant.
Please do not take this as demeaning or insulting anybody else.
That's not what I do.
Okay, lighting is better, Armored Ghost says.
Yes, this is a good old weasel whiskey.
I actually moved over to Gibson's when I'm buying the night.
Yeah, I kind of like Gibson's a bit more, but they sell this everywhere and it's cheap, so because we just talked about being fatigued.
There is a I didn't see the whole video, I just saw a redux of it of Steven Crowder trying to have a conversation with some diverse Americans in a barbershop, and it did not go well.
The per capita meme is a real thing.
Meanwhile, there's oh, some group chats got released, and I don't care.
I don't care.
Charlie Kirk is dead, and all of you lot are celebrating him.
I don't care about some edgy boys making some edgy jokes.
Don't Just really frustrating is that for some reason my Twitter feed my x feed.
I'm sorry Elon My X feed.
I like your sand demon.
It's actually quite insightful.
My X feed is completely inundated.
Do you guys remember like five years ago or 10 years ago?
There's this meme.
There's a great stone toss comic about it.
Oh, I guess, you know, the left are the real racists.
You know, imagine, imagine if the Republicans were to do this.
And the left is going absolutely stir-crazy saying that again and again and again.
And first of all, it's really annoying.
Oh my god, they're admitting that they're new to these people be on, oh god, what's that stupid leftist Twitter called?
Shouldn't these guys be over there?
Why are they filling up my feed?
I'm not subscribed to any of them.
Oh my god, they just admitted it.
Can you believe it?
You literally celebrated the death of Charlie Kirk.
The group of youths, of wild ladings, of teens that assaulted Big Balls, the guy that was working for Doge, while likely trying to rape his girlfriend, just got off with a slap on the wrist.
Everywhere you look, violent offenders getting off with a slap on the wrist.
But anytime a civilized man tries to do something civilized, you throw the book at them.
Ask me how I know about that.
I've been charged twice with crimes that I was the victim of.
Good Lord, they just want that great white defendant, don't they?
So yes, I'm tired.
I'm tired of living in a world where all of us work our asses off and have so little to show for it, where we can't even afford our own homes.
We've got sand demons in our pockets accessible through our black scrime mirrors.
I have an automated assistant.
She helps keep track of everything for me, and she's basically free.
My productivity is amplified a thousand fold for my great-grandfather.
And yet, I work at least as hard as that man did for subsistence.
Where's it all going, do you suppose?
And Armored Ghost, to answer your question, I'm not a huge Crown Royal fan, actually.
Like, I'll drink it.
You know, it kills the pain of being a man, don't it?
But not a huge fan.
It's salt.
It's a great whiskey.
It's just, I like the rye whiskeys.
So, yeah, I know it's not just me.
I know I'm not the only one that is fatigued.
I am fatigued with being called names, with being accused of crimes I didn't commit, with being victimized.
I had my house broken into.
I told the cops who did it.
They said, no, we don't think your house got broken into.
Refused to even file a report.
I'm pretty sure the guy was one of their stool pigeons.
Also, he was an immigrant.
Filipino, if you're wondering, who are normally I really quite like Filipinos.
Aside from that one.
See, I don't think I'm the only one that's fatigued.
Don't think I'm the only one that's been working my ass off and had very little show for it.
I don't think I'm the only veteran that feels like his government is spitting on him.
Like the fact that I know how to sling a rifle is something used against me by the Canadian government.
It's something they don't like about me.
The fact that I have a very strong sense of justice, they don't like that about me.
Or you Stefan Molyneux earlier today posted a tweet commenting that back when he was 25, he had a very accomplished resume, but he couldn't find a job to save his life.
Now, you might have noticed some phenotypical commonalities between me and Stéphane Molyneux.
Or I'm a little bit more air and fire.
He's a bit more water and earth, but we're very similar guys.
And it's not that I've never done anything that you couldn't blackmail me for.
We all have.
It's that if you tried to blackmail me, I'd tell you to sit on it and rotate.
Blackmail me.
I'll blackmail you for trying to blackmail me.
That's how we're going to do this, bucko.
You think I got any ego left?
They don't like that.
You know what?
I'm not, there's a conspiracy angle with this, of course.
Because by the time God crapped out the third caveman, a conspiracy was launched against one of them.
But we're not going to go with the conspiracy angle.
My issue with the conspiracy angle is when you posit conspiracy, you're usually positing a particular conspiracy.
Like if your bike got stolen, you don't actually know who stole it.
You just know that it was stolen.
So, yes, there's a conspiracy to steal your bike, but to necessarily jump to a particular, oh, definitely was the black kid.
Well, then you look like an asshole when it was the Filipino kid, don't you?
So, we're not going to jump up to conspiracy.
We're just going to lay the groundwork to show evidence of conspiracy.
Who did it?
We don't know, but there's a conspiracy.
The evidence is the overproduction of elites.
The overproduction of elites refers to how we've been putting too many people through university.
We've been putting a lot of midwits through university.
And, you know, if you think about it, this might be a good metaphor for this, a good historical metaphor, would be the uselessness of the aristocracy in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Like they were really becoming useless tits by that point.
Now, prior to that, they were, you know, mostly on the front battle lines.
They were mostly defending their people.
It was questionable.
Go back to the 10th century.
They are literally defending the peasants from bandits, from slavers, from all manner of evil.
They are literally defending people.
Come, you know, Black Death era, 14th century, 15th century, it's kind of questionable.
They're mostly involved in quite ridiculous wars.
Now, they're fighting and suffering, and it costs a lot to make a mount at night.
So there's some justification for it.
But the peasants are mostly like, I don't care about who the king of Bohemia should be.
Yes, I've been playing some KCD2 recently, if you can't tell.
But by the 16th and 17th centuries, they were mostly useless.
There were too many of them with too much wealth, and they weren't really benefiting civilization.
That's kind of where we are with university grads.
We invested a lot of money in these people.
These people think they're too good to work for a living.
They've been raised with the expectations that they should be the ones in charge.
And so what happens when you have an oversupply of labor and an undersupply of demand?
Well, what happens is all sorts of backroom deals to become one of the people that gets chosen.
This is what you see in Hollywood.
Because everybody and their kid brother wants to be a Hollywood actor.
People will do anything to be a movie star.
And they're just for every position of movie star that is available, there's probably about a thousand people that are good enough at acting to do that job.
So when you got a thousand competent resumes, well, what's your selective criteria?
Who's going to give me a blow job?
Is your selective criteria?
Weinstein was like the least corrupt guy in Hollywood.
Okay, he only did it with female adults.
Same thing comes to the Really don't want to say ruling elite because it's more you're in an elite position, but you're not an elite human.
There's too many of these damn people that want to be part of the ruling cast, that want to be making these decisions for all of us.
And when there's too many of them, graft enters the system.
When you have a system operated by graft, it selects against competence and integrity.
So, if you're smart, talented, hardworking, and honest, the system selects against you because it can't control you.
They need people like themselves that will cover up the fact that none of them know what they're doing.
So, yes, there is some sort of formal conspiracy or informal conspiracy, but I'm not pointing directly to anyone.
I'm simply saying, when you over-educate the midwits, this is what you get.
You get angry peasants, says Armored Ghost.
Serena Butler, thank you so much for joining.
So, you know what?
Since Serena's here, because I know she'll find this interesting.
So I've done a couple of tarot readings, which, you know, listen, don't lecture me about divination if you check weather reports and consult the sand demon.
Okay.
We can have a conversation about what is and is not permissible about divination some other time.
But I did a couple of readings with very restricted questions.
By the way, that's that's the thing.
Don't if you wouldn't spy on somebody with a telescope or a computer, you don't do it with anything else either.
That's that's the basic rule.
Also, don't go asking dead people for advice.
You're not going to be talking to dead people, you're going to be talking to shapeshifters, and they just want your loosh.
So, that being put aside, um, I posted an image with this live stream, and the image is six cards that occurred on both this live stream and the last live stream.
I got these exact cards on both with the uh, the two of wands stares at the world in the center there, which is very, very striking to me.
And this is what I really want to be talking about on this live stream.
Um, with one final note on the title of it, you'll notice the second part of the title is about the group chats that I don't care about.
The second part is about the problems in the world.
Where can I see this image?
Um, you know what?
I posted it to my ex account.
Elon, I love you.
My ex is cool.
It's this, like, it's the letter equivalent of zero.
Um, give me a sec here, two, here we go.
I'm going to toss this into the chat.
over there.
Boom.
There you go.
There's the image, it's the cover of this video.
This really jumped out at me.
Uh, like these, I I do separate readings for myself and for the the channel.
Actually, don't do many readings for myself because I don't usually have questions.
Like, I questions I have are none of my business.
Right?
Like, if you want to know something about somebody else, go ask them a question.
You don't need freaking psychic abilities for that.
But these six cards showed up both times in similar positions.
So let's talk about the cards on the right half of that arrangement.
We've got the Ten of Wands, the Emperor Reversed, and the Queen of Cups reversed.
Now, I'm pretty sure I mentioned the Ten of Wands to you on the last live stream because the Ten of Wands, it's a guy who may have just won a battle, but he's trying to carry these Ten Staves in his hands, and he can barely do it.
Right?
He's stumbling.
So he's victorious.
Maybe he's overwhelmed.
He's overburdened.
There's too much going on.
And so this, let's zoom out on the, is it appropriate for people to joke about the National Socialists on a group chat?
Is it appropriate for people to joke about the National Socialists on a group chat?
There's way too much to unpack there.
There is way too much.
First of all, what liberals?
No, I shouldn't say.
It doesn't matter.
Should I say liberals or should I say leftists?
Like, that's one of the sticks right there.
Like, what do we even mean when we say liberal?
They get all of their history from Marvel movies.
Okay, like they think the Red Skull was an actual historical personage.
And, you know, I just, I retweeted a great tweet from a girl pointing out that, no, Hitler was not the worst person in the 20th century, not even in the top 10.
There are so many worse people than Hitler.
National Socialism had some big flaws with it.
I'm not a fan.
But there are flaws that are very understandable when you look at what they went through under the Weimar Republic.
Maybe turning government into daddy, not a good idea.
But after foreign government prosecuted all your women and children, maybe you can understand why something like that was so popular.
The idea that we fought the great evil.
No, we didn't.
We allied with the great evil.
And I'm not even sure that we were all that well sorted out.
Didn't we put the Japanese into internment camps?
Like, don't talk to me, talk to me about good and evil, and then use World War II.
No, no, bring up Star Wars.
All right, Star Wars I can deal with.
World War II was not good versus evil.
It was just three different flavors of evil.
And one of the worst forms won because of us.
Communism took over the East.
Go look up the killing fields of Cambodia.
Go look up, Jesus Christ.
The comedian.
Good lord, the comedian.
What's his name?
The fat British guy, who's not fat anymore, but he still looks, he's one of those guys that always looks fat.
He's wonderful.
Count D'Ancula.
He did this one segment on one of the places where people were murdered in Cambodia.
And it's like, Jesus, goddamn Christ.
Jesus Christ.
So sorry, here, look.
Ten of Wands.
There we go.
I just picked up two of the Ten of Wands.
I picked up what is it, liberal or leftist?
And what were the Nazis?
What did they actually?
This is, it's too much.
It is too much.
There are too many of these stupid arguments about every damn thing.
You know, I dated this woman who was an absolute.
Oh, Serena, I'll send you the two of the actual readings.
Okay, like this is.
I'll PM you later.
Yeah, no, it's pretty wild.
That's pretty wild.
There's too many times.
I dated this woman who was an absolute, she was like a maverick.
She was a genius at turning everything into an endless argument.
It got to the point where, like, the only thing I could do was agree with her on everything.
Every, like, and she'd like, as soon as I agreed with her, she'd storm off.
And then she'd storm back in, and then she'd come up with a new version of the argument.
And I'd agree that she was right about that.
And she's trying, she'd do this like four or five times until finally, if I agreed enough times, she'd just leave me the hell alone.
That's kind of where we are with this.
Like there's this concern trolling.
Charlie Kirk is dead.
And a good quarter of our nations celebrate it.
Not even a.
Fuck that guy.
I'm glad he's dead.
I really am.
No, I'm.
Hey, you want to talk about cynical cusses?
I'm a cynical cuss.
When Justin Trudeau dies, I'm going to piss on his grave.
Fuck that guy.
But I'm not going to have a street party.
And Justin Trudeau isn't a guy that has conversations for crying out loud.
He's a guy that spent 10 years destroying this country and directly destroying my ability to make money.
So I'm 44 and working my ass off above the Arctic Circle.
Not at present, obviously.
So, no, there's no, there's actually no, like, drop it.
Drop all these sticks.
Drop all these arguments.
Stop trying to converse with these people.
There's a video I'm going to be releasing in a couple of days.
I mean, it's about a pretty far-out idea, but we're some pretty far-out people.
Let's talk about the timeline split.
I don't want to spoil anything.
If you've heard about it, it's pretty far out there, man.
Should be a fun video.
But the Whatever you think about the crazy version of it, the low-level version of it, the common sense version, is stop arguing with these people.
That's what Mitch Crane said at the very start of this video.
It doesn't even bother anymore.
There ain't no point.
Don't pick up.
That's the guy picking up those sticks.
That's what they want you to do.
They want you to pick up every single stick, every single little bullshit argument, every little shitball.
Don't do it.
Now, there's a John Carter of Mars, I think, was the guy that said this.
It's such a bono.
Irinia, the Ukrainian girl that got murdered alone in a subway while everybody looked away.
Jesus, our generations could each enemies.
Her name meant peace.
They murdered peace and they killed dialogue.
Don't pick up the sticks.
They don't belong to us.
The next card.
Actually, let me touch on these comments.
It's so cool to be back on YouTube and having all you guys here.
By the way, link tree down below in the comments.
I know that you guys, like when I got kicked off of YouTube, you totally lost me.
Well, it's down there.
Stay on there.
Smashing fever bones on my anvil to eat the marrow.
Necrodancer, that's fantastic.
Two of Wands, Serena, is this channel, Stares at the World.
I mean, that is this channel.
When I do readings for the channel, it's the reading of the truth that I know, the truth that the audience needs to hear, that is useful to the audience, and what can be communicated.
So those three, like the Venn diagram of those three things, that's that's where the two of wands appears.
All in service to truth, justice, beauty, God, righteousness, and the future destiny that he wants for his children.
That's a lot of women.
Man, this one was even more talented.
Let's see.
Bay Silent Vengeance taped seven Pringle scans together.
Not reading any more of that.
I'm just going to, you know what?
Don't worry.
The comments get deleted after the stream.
They're not saved.
Just don't say anything that gets me into trouble.
The seeker, indeed, why waste energy?
Depending on who it is, I just pretend to agree with them and continue on my way.
They can't or don't want to listen.
I've got a bad habit.
There's still a few people.
I'm related to somebody that has a substantial amount of institutional power.
And you know what?
I haven't been angry about that for quite some time.
Sometimes I get really angry.
He's not a good person.
He really isn't.
And he's been entrusted with immense institutional power.
I think about him a lot because I think about these enormities that I see in the world.
And I wonder how could such a thing happen?
Then I think about him and I try and scroot his inscrutable intelligence.
Why the hell would you do this?
And then I think of him voicing a condescending platitude at me.
Weird people, man.
Serena says she'll be back in half an hour.
We will be going for about an hour more.
Sometimes it's tempting to go longer, but don't want to stretch it.
Why return to YouTube?
Plenty of people have built up audiences on Rumble.
I have not built up an audience on Rumble.
It's been there for about a year and it's not growing.
Maybe in the future it will.
We will see.
So that's the Ten of Wands.
Don't argue with these people.
Don't pick this stuff up.
It's not your problem.
Next, we got the reversed Queen of Cups.
So the Queen of Cups normally, I like to think of the Queen of Cups as an administrator at an art college who loves their job, who has their own creative output, who loves teaching students, who's very satisfied.
Like the Queen of Cups, if you notice, has a very elaborate cup.
It's a cup she's obviously made herself.
It wasn't something she bought at the store.
She's very in touch with everything and comfortable in her authoritative position.
Reversed, it means crazy emotions.
Completely out of control emotions, which is what we are seeing from the radical left.
It's what we're seeing with these no-kings protests.
Like, what a ridiculous thing.
How ridiculous are you?
Trump is not a king, you idiots.
Kings aren't what you think kings are, you idiots.
You're protesting Voldemort for crying out loud.
But I also think it speaks to something on our side.
So I don't care about group chats.
However, it's not productive to get worked up emotionally.
Which, again, I am not going to throw a stone at anybody on the right.
Not unless there's gross misbehavior.
And then I will target the behavior itself, not the identity or the label.
The woke right thing, for example.
There is a Small, a very small minority of people that actually fit the negative descriptor of woke right that James Lindsay has been painting everybody with.
You know, the start of the stream, I mentioned the game KCD2, which, because it had major studio backing, was forced to align with certain DEI initiatives because you have to.
You have to.
If you run a gas station, you have to have a thing showing how you care about the environment as a gas station for crying out loud.
Those are just the rules of the damned game.
And KCD2 did this without compromising the integrity of the game.
So I fully stand behind the game.
They did it with class.
This is just the reality in which we live.
And there was a very small group of agitators when the game was being released doing everything in their power.
They were lying to try and subvert the game.
What really pissed me off with them is one of the major characters was technically 17 when the game went down.
In the game, he's 28 or so.
Like the voice actor is 28, the character model is 28.
His maturity is late 20s.
And he's a possible gay romance because you have to have at least one gay romance to keep the DEI monsters happy.
And so these scumbags were saying, oh, the game contains cheese pizza.
No, it doesn't.
You assholes.
Yes, the gay romance was shoehorned in.
It was obviously to win DEI points, which is what you need to have access to capital to have a AAA game.
But you guys are lying about this.
So that is the 0.1% of the time James Lindsay is right.
There are some of those guys.
But they're 0.1%.
And quite frankly, I think they're paid shills.
don't buy that they're actually legit critics.
Sorry, got off on a tangent.
There's another one of those sticks from the Ten of Wands I'm picking up.
Sometimes the urge to shit post captures us.
And that's not good.
It's not useful.
Let's not do that.
So that's the Queen of Cups reversed is unstable, out of control emotionalism.
And finally, the Emperor, but let me check the comments here.
The YouTube link doesn't work on the link tree.
Gaming Nationalists, thank you very much.
I just set up the link tree.
So yeah, it's work in progress.
Thank you.
Golan 122 from Israel.
My La Two, absolutely.
Listen, I've got one of my really close friends is a Jew and he served in the Canadian forces and he's got friends in the IDF.
I've got a lot of criticisms for what Israel for well, what Netanyahu is driving Israel towards.
I've got lots of questions about it's October 6th.
Was it 6th or 7th?
I forgot.
No, we don't hate Jews here.
Got a bit of my chip on my shoulder with IPAC.
Not a big fan of the ADL.
But no, Jews are fucking welcome here, man.
Speaking of World Wars, what did school and college teach you about the Black Black Tom?
I've never heard of the Black Tom explosion.
And Plix Linuxy says, well, James Lindsay was basically an academic on the losing side of the Gnostic Fabian Wars.
I'll be honest, I think Lindsay got co-opted.
He's made such an ass of himself.
I really liked Lindsay.
He's made such an ass of himself with the endless woke-right nonsense.
I think they've got blackmail on him through the Novixim cult.
That's my speculation.
I've stopped.
He just got too smart to be this dumb.
And honestly, like, whatever blackmail they have on him, I'm like, I'm sure it's something that's like not even that bad of a sin, right?
I mean, I got a front row seat to my sins, man.
I can be pretty forgiving to people that are repentant.
Dash and Rogue says are you ever going to complete that Dungeon and Dragon stat article on strength decks and intelligence?
I use those in my workout routine.
Can you link them to me?
Look up DD.
No, first of all, no, I'm not.
That's everything I'm ever going to write on it.
It was an article I wrote probably 10 years back.
It turns out the Dungeons and Dragons is a very good reality simulator.
Squiggy says, wherever I am, I must also shitpost.
Go right ahead, brother.
Just don't get the channel in trouble.
YouTube, says NecroDancer, is a great river like the Nile, a watering hole for much life.
Rumble is not exactly.
I'm sorry.
I come back here, I get 10 times the views, man.
Good thing about it is, says Mitch Crane, becoming more and more obvious, and normies are seeing right through it.
The seeker says, you don't even need actual blackmail today.
You just need a threat of it to destroy.
That's what blackmail is.
Blackmail is actually usually pretty useless when you try and deploy it.
If we're having a private conversation, I would make a speculation about James Lindsay that would be blackmailable, but which we don't really care about.
Like, whatever.
I get it.
Don't really care all that much.
I'm not going to do that in public, obviously.
But yeah, I think he's being blackmailed.
Anyway, There's like 0.1% truth to the woke right thing.
But even there, you don't need to invoke the woke right.
You don't need to invoke these people that say they are on the right, but they get off on canceling people, just like they get off on wielding the power.
They're not KCD2, fantastic game.
I strongly like learn your roots, learn your history.
And what better way than to play an RPG set in actual history?
Learn where you came from.
The game's fantastic.
And it made a couple of nods to appease the DEI.
That should not be condemned.
That should be praised.
And the people that wanted to cancel it, either they were false actors or they just got off on wielding power against somebody else.
Fuck people like that.
They don't hate the jackboot.
They envy it damn straight.
Also, Fall Out and Fall Out 2.
God damn, those were good games.
All right, we're carrying on.
So we've covered two of the cards in the spread, which, you know, I'm going to toss another link down into chat.
Right there.
We covered the Ten of Wands and the reverse Queen of Cups.
The last negative card we get is the reversed Emperor.
So, Ten of Wands, overburdened with things.
Sometimes overburdened with, like, it's like you've got too much on your plate.
You can't handle it.
You've won too much.
It's actually crushing you.
The white elephant metaphor.
Queen of Cups is reversed emotional stability.
Reversed Emperor is interesting.
So the Emperor is our patriarchal understanding of government, of authority systems, of rules.
Sometimes the Emperor can seem harsh.
Like, especially if you had a bad father, you'll have a bad association to the archetype of the Emperor.
And sometimes the Emperor is blunt and stupid.
Like one of the things you need to learn as a young man is that sometimes a jerk cop gives you a speeding ticket.
And the best thing you can do is pay the speeding ticket and move on with your life.
Sometimes the emperor is a jerk.
Hey, kid, I paid for all 18 inches of that saw, not just the six inches you're using.
Yeah, the emperor is a bit of a jerk at times.
But it's the best, you know, we don't really got many alternatives.
The emperor is the best thing we got going.
The reversed emperor, the reversal of cards, it leans into virtue being the mean between two extremes.
So if emperor is the ideal form of governance, right, where the emperor sets a lot of rules, but he just wants you to do your job.
He's just there to govern, so everything is good.
Reversed splits into the passive and the active reversed.
The passive is an emperor that doesn't enforce the law.
And the active is a tyrannical ruler.
And these are actually the same figure, right?
Really weak, a really weak ruler thinks Saddam Hussein has to engage in really tyrannical actions to maintain power.
You want another example of a weak emperor who's tyrannical?
Look at Justin Trudeau.
Play out her scrolls and read the Bible.
I need to get Elder Scrolls.
We're literally reading the Bible on the last stream, brother.
I'm a Catholic and good standing.
I even have a letter from my priest confirming that.
So the Emperor Reversed is this breakdown in governance that we have.
It's Trump simultaneously not doing like everything we want him to do.
And at the same time being tyrannical with the things that he is doing.
Whiskey and Nuka-Cola, never.
Now you got to drink both of those straight.
The three cards on the right: Ten of Wands, Reversed Queen of Cups, Reversed Emperor.
That looks a hell of a lot like civil war to me.
And we do not want civil war.
We really do not want Civil War.
Happy belated 15th anniversary to Fallout New Vegas, the best mainstream Fallout game.
You want to hear something really sad?
One day you'll play Fallout New Vegas for the last time.
Think about that.
Yeah, the three of those really look a lot like Civil War to me.
Civil war is 90 to 95 percent of us are dead from starvation or murder within six months.
Maybe worse like an actual war at this point.
One with the MP weapons that fries the electronics, that destroys the currency system, that destroys the resource distribution networks.
Jesus Christ, how do we recover from that?
We cannot afford a war, like a serious war.
We can't afford that at this point.
And yet we cannot tolerate this extreme injustice where rapists and killers are running free on the streets.
While a man that tries to defend others, Daniel Penny, has the book thrown at him, has his life destroyed.
I've been there.
I've been through that.
I spent $10,000 on an attorney, and the witness admitted that she assaulted me without provocation when she was on the stand.
$10,000.
can't keep living like this.
How can it be civil if it's foreign NGOs picking the fights?
Right, and by the way, I don't know if it's Golan 122 is still here, but the same shit's happening in Israel.
The same sex abuse cults, the same child abuse cults are happening there.
Average Americans have two to three years worth of body fat.
Drought and famine-resistant.
All right, so that's a negative.
Ten of wands.
Trying to have these endless shitball arguments.
Queen of Cups reversed.
There's this endless emotivism.
And the Emperor reverse, the fact that, well, we ain't voting our way out of this.
Okay, so what can we do?
So these are the three positive cards that keep coming up for me.
The Page of Swords.
Ironically, I was just saying that the emotivism is half the problem.
The page of swords is just the free-spirited exploration of ideas.
This is why I don't care about group chats.
Because the page of swords is just saying things, just exploring things, just asking questions.
Unafraid to ask questions.
Unafraid to see where they go under the leadership of the Queen of Wands.
So swords are air, intellectual.
Wands are fire.
They're passion.
They're life.
The Queen of Wands sits with her legs spread, very sexual.
She is surrounded by sunflowers.
Bounty coming out of an otherwise arid land.
She has the black cat of mysticism looking up to her.
Not a queen of rules and discipline.
It's a queen of confidence.
And you know, I'll tell you something I've been noticing.
I've been noticing a real upsurge in female accounts on Twitter, on Substack, like just like really solid women.
Not fake right-wing women.
Okay, we all know the fake right-wing women.
And God bless the fake right-wing women.
They just want some attention.
Girls like attention.
Okay, that's why they're cheerleaders.
Girls like attention.
Nothing wrong with a girl that likes tension.
Queen of Wands ain't that.
Queen of Wands actually understands femininity and masculinity and is exemplifying femininity while also being sexual.
She's not a shrinking violet.
And the final positive card is the Knight of Cups.
The Knight of Cups is carrying the Holy Grail.
He is carrying the sacred.
He sees the sacred and he knows where it's going, and he has perfect control of his source.
Knight of Cups is a very positive sign.
And I associate the Knight of Cups with channels like Asha Logos or Hyperborean Explained.
The Knight of Cups is bringing our sacred destiny, the promises that we were made.
He is bringing those to us.
This is what return means.
It doesn't mean being a throwback.
Return means, I'm going to retreat a bit.
These six cards surrounding the Two of Wands, which is the stares at the World channel.
It's my interface with you guys.
It's about defeating the Saturnian cube.
The hyperdimensional torture matrix.
Baby, you can put so much suffering in this hypercube!
We are currently ruled by a Saturnian cult.
They put giant black cubes in front of all their major institutions.
You know, you've got that X gram on one of the poles of Saturn.
One of the moons of Saturn literally resembles the Death Star.
Seriously, it's this moon with a.
It's perfect.
It's absolutely perfect.
And we've got a cult of men on Earth who love to chop up time into artificial quantities.
Which isn't to say that Saturn isn't a necessary part of existence.
It is.
You need rules.
You need limitations.
It's only through understanding the limitations and following the rules that you can have the abundance of a Saturnalia.
Done properly, you work five days a week, you get to celebrate on Saturday.
That's natural and good.
The Saturnalian cult takes it to the next level.
and it's not natural to our people channels like asha logos channels like hyperboreanism explained These guys speak to the core of our people.
Now at the start of this, this is what I was warning about.
I don't know about the core of other peoples, but I wish them no evil.
I know about the core of my people.
In the core of my people, we understand that this world we find ourselves in is not a prison.
It's not a punishment.
It's a place, it's an opportunity to be heroic.
It's an opportunity to have fun, to explore, to perform great deeds.
And yes, we need Saturn to place the limitations upon things.
Otherwise, you're in cloud cuckoo land.
You know, isn't it funny?
Like, the two things that really typify the left right now, like the really spiraled out of control left, is cloud cuckoo land and oppressive Saturnite tyranny.
And yet here we are in this magical place where we can talk to the spirits of the earth, where we can make love, where we can go on adventures, where beauty surrounds us constantly.
This is a playground.
This is a Minecraft server, man.
Why the hell are we grinding on a Minecraft server?
So to finish off talking about these cards, okay, on the right there, you have the breakdown of legal systems, the breakdown of authority into both weakness and tyranny.
You've got emotions out of control, and you've got the complete overwhelming of late-stage empire.
Ten of Wands.
This is why the title of this stream is Essence Not Empire.
We don't need to dominate the world.
We don't need to win.
We need to be true to ourselves.
We need to live with integrity.
And the three cards on the left, I'll speak to that.
The Knight of Cups, carrying the Holy Grail, God's promise to us that you are my children.
I made this world because I wanted my children to explore it.
I wanted my children to live and experience life.
not as a punishment but as an opportunity as a form of art queen of wands that fiery confidence of leadership And the Page of Swords, the freedom of intellectual exploration.
Something like that is the solution to all of this.
Essence, not Empire.
Ain't no party like a Nourini party.
Thanks, starving vampires.
Thank you.
By the way, if you click Starving Vampires channel, we've done some music collaborations together.
Women wanting attention is really no different than a guy wanting money.
Beautifully put.
Osaris?
I'm missing something in that title, but yeah, beautifully put.
nothing wrong with women wanting attention.
Don't hate on women for being women, you know?
Behavioral behavior placement says 42 laws of Mayat, which I don't know, probably should.
Elongated lower realm of the cross creates a square cube box.
Yeah, it's one of those ongoing things where the cube Saturn is Saturn.
Don't argue with it.
Don't argue with the cop giving you a speeding ticket, you know.
But maybe don't worship it.
The Seeker says when I was younger, I would have called this cult silly, but not anymore.
Oh, yeah, it's absolutely one of the things that the Gnostics absolutely had correct was that they broke down humanity into three layers.
There's the Hylix who worship the physical spirit.
They worship things in the world.
The psychic, who worship ideas, and the pneumatics, who worship spirit.
One of the, in esoteric circles, in most esoteric circles, there seems to be a widespread agreement that the rapid increase of the human population over the past century, it's been an imbalanced increase.
Now, I'm on record as saying that the planet could easily support 10 billion people, no problem.
Like that's it's not a resource limitation, and I stand by that.
This critique is not, it's often framed environmentally, and yes, there are environmental atrocities happening.
Go visit Cairo.
That's an environmental atrocity.
But it's not, in my opinion, because of the population number.
We could have more people on the planet.
It's because the spiritual immaturity.
And the esoteric explanation for this is that too many people have been born.
That we started willy-nilly improving conditions so rapidly with so little forethought that there's not enough souls who are ready for human existence being born
So, next time you get really frustrated with somebody being a stupid idiot, keep in mind that in their last incarnation, they might have been a cow.
This whole human thing is like way above them, man.
They're barely ready for it.
Maybe don't be so mean and judgmental to the poor damn cow that's inhabiting a human body all of a sudden.
I think there's something to that esoteric explanation.
Like, technically speaking, there aren't too many people on the planet.
Easily, we could do 10 billion.
Probably, like, 20 to 30, I think, would be carrying capacity for this planet.
That's if we were pushing it.
I think 10 billion is a comfortable number.
I don't think there's enough souls ready for that, and that we aren't dealing with the organizations particularly well.
So, yeah, there's going to be a great depopulation.
Whether you want it or not, there is going to be a great depopulation.
Like, that's just happening.
There's a lot less people in about 20 years.
Let's see.
So, yeah, it's the people that worship Saturn invokes like not a smart thing, but they're not wrong.
Hey, Serena's back.
Let me.
The spiritual world is real and gay, says Necro Dancer.
Ticks are bloodsuckers, damn straight.
What do you mean, people, says Osiris?
Everyone wants to be cool and live the nice life.
How much suffering do you create to achieve your vision at what cost?
Actually, I think that's a fantastic question.
Like, that's kind of the I was just watching a great video by Hyperborean Explain.
And being cool and living the good life is everybody, well, to take a line from Young, is individuating, being their most unique and interesting, and best version of themselves.
Like everybody being a really interesting person that you can meet.
But instead of that, we get everybody being carbon copies of Hollywood celebrities, spending lots of resources just buying things to be like everybody else.
And that's a huge waste of time.
Mitch Cain says, do you think we should be trying to live on my...
I completely, I am so pro explore the galaxy.
It's something, it's challenging, man.
It's worth doing.
I've got a lot that I disagree with Elon Musk on, but I man, the guy wants to explore Mars.
I completely support that.
I give up smoking to explore Mars, okay?
And that's, I love smoking.
Let's see.
Ahem.
Osiris replies to NecroDancer saying, no, they don't.
Most people want to tell you what to do, how to stand, what to eat.
See, I was interpreting Necrodancer's statement as, like, everybody wants to be cool by conforming, as opposed to being cool by being themselves.
So as I mentioned earlier in the stream, I've done two readings, and in both readings, for the last room and this stream, I get the Emperor...
The first stream he came, the emperor reverse came in possible outcomes.
This time it came in outcome.
And the other ones all appeared in similar positions.
I don't think we're voting our way out of this.
I don't think we should be trying to vote our way out of this.
I don't think we should be arguing with liberals.
I do think we should be putting as much faith in our elected leaders as we can.
There's a funny thing about being the emperor, okay?
When you're the patriarch, the funny thing is that the more people trust you, the easier your job is, and the better you are at it.
The less people trust you, the worse you're going to be at your job and the harder it is.
But I also think it's kind of doomed at this point.
don't think there's many good maneuvers left.
Mitch Crane asked an interesting question.
Would our souls be different being born and raised on Mars?
That's a really interesting question.
I mean, the challenges would be different.
Mars is going to be the first.
If we...
If we colonize other planets, Mars is going to be the first one.
And that martial spirit of war is going to be innate to colonizing it.
The people that colonize Mars are going to be warriors.
You know, the expanse actually, I think the expanse nailed something there.
There's a TV series, a series of novels that the Martians were the most technologically advanced with the most technologically advanced military.
I think that's actually a forecast.
That's what's going to happen.
If we ever colonize, you know, Venus, Mercury, I don't know that we'd ever colonize it.
might colonize Venus, but by the time we do, it will be a hell of a lot easier than colonizing Mars.
Serena Butler says the folk aren't going to make it.
Please expand.
Serena Butler is actually pretty solid at astrology.
I'm really interested in anything she has to say.
We're going to be going for another 15 minutes here.
All of us just trying to figure out what the hell is going on and how the hell we should react to it.
Does that mean that anyone who colonizes Ganymede is gay?
Yeah.
Yes.
Have you not read The Forever War?
Seriously, one of my favorite books full-time.
If you haven't read The Forever War, read it.
It's fantastic.
Written by a Vietnam vet.
Now, there's a big population contraction coming.
I base this upon nothing.
I just base this upon a real sense that I get.
A lot of people have lost interest in living.
And don't get me wrong, I'm pretty damn miserable most of the time.
But I get up and keep kicking every day.
And most people don't do that.
This Saturnian cube that we're all locked in.
It's very exhausting.
It's what's your credit score?
Are you showing up to work on time?
You're keeping everybody happy.
It's draining.
Because that's what the Saturnian cube does.
it drains your louche to feed a bunch of bankers that don't even know why they exist.
There's some indications that the Kali Yuga is coming to an end.
Either it ended a century ago or it's ending in 50 years.
The Kali Yuga is coming to an end and things are darkest before the dawn.
And holy shit, they're dark right now.
The dawn must be pretty close, right?
Oh, man, Osiris did.
Osiris's forever war was dumb.
The book didn't have infinite pages.
Man, just wait till you read the never-ending story.
You are going to be so fucking angry.
Marcel Mercure says, how could the Kalayuga last another thousand years?
What?
Quite possible!
Quite possible.
Kimberly Steele is a writer I've run into on Substack, who argues that as we transition from the age of Pisces to the age of Aquarius, astral pyramids are coming to an end.
And so astral pyramids cling on all the more desperately.
Now, what the hell is an astral pyramid?
So, at the base level, you've got material reality.
This is the stuff that science generally concerns itself with.
Above that, you've got the etheric, which is the energetic plane.
It's the plane of waves, of patterns, of emotions.
And above that, you've got the astral, which is the realm of ideas.
And so one of the things happening during the Age of Pisces was aligning people to astral pyramids for damn good reasons.
We want to lift people up a little bit.
But the age of Aquarius, well, you've got the two fishes of Pisces, Christ and Antichrist, that swim together in the water of Aquarius, the water bearer.
I've likened this in the past to the fact that we are no longer naive about human nature.
When we transitioned from it was Aries, yes, Aries.
The age of Aries was the last age of heroes.
And we transitioned from that to the mystic Pisces, which is when all of the religions that we currently have on the planet were brought into existence, the Axial Age.
Aries was a time of great achievement, heroic achievement.
Then we moved into Pisces, the great transition from paganism to Christianity, which is completely inadequate, by the way.
Paganism had great mysteries, some of which were incorporated into Christianity, many forgotten.
And Christianity has been turned into a ridiculous caricature in the modern age, which is rightfully criticized.
But nonetheless, there was a great insight that God manifested as a baby born in a major a child born to parents that were little better than slaves.
So we went from the age of heroism of Alexander the Great to the era of humility, of recognizing common humanity throughout all eyes that perceive God.
And Aquarius is getting 20-20 vision upon our own sins.
There's a book.
I need to buy this damn book at some point.
I've got a lot of else that I'm reading right now.
There's a book called It's Like A Million Little Secrets or something like that.
It's about what people actually search for on Google.
Age of Aquarius, we can't lie to ourselves about being holy.
Age of Aquarius, we see the evil within ourselves.
We see that Dostoevsky, that the line between good and evil cuts through the heart of every man, and who could carve out a piece of his own heart.
Evil isn't something out there, evil is something inside of us.
That's Aquarius.
I'm trying to figure out how the fuck we deal with this.
Let's see, Neutron says, I will give up smoking today to achieve ultimate psychic warfare power.
Man, you got to smoke to have psychic powers.
See, this is one of the most powerful psychic drugs out there.
It's Crane, yeah, I'm Aquarius, let's go!
The Seeker says, but I want psychic powers, not wisdom.
Heard a really interesting quote recently, past few months, that you don't pursue esotericism for the psychic powers, But psychic powers are part of the proof that you're legitimately pursuing esotericism.
Hermes Trismegistus is a lesser messenger like a bro you high five before hugging Jesus.
One of the things becoming increasingly evident to me.
I mentioned that you got the Hilux psychics pneumatics what's the word?
What's the word?
What's that word where you're an idiot that thinks all religions are saying the same thing?
Marcel Mercura says, what you said about psychic power sounds like idiots in Buddhism.
Obviously, I don't know how to pronounce that word.
You get them as a byproduct of advancing, universally.
Not universalism, syncretism.
Syncretism.
Syncretism makes no sense to the hyalic.
And it doesn't make much sense to the psychic either, because the psychic is obsessed with a particular path to power.
But at the level of the pneumatic, like, yes, they actually are all saying the same thing.
Syncretism.
I'm a bit of a syncretist.
Every language has its own grammar.
Yeah, I was thinking about a joke earlier today, which, like, it doesn't have a punchline, so it's not very funny, but it's like I aspire to communicate only an abstract symbolism.
No, no, no, no, symbology, symbology.
That was a quote from Boondock Saints.
Symbology, not symbolism, symbology.
The tarot has a certain grammar to it.
And grammar does dictate language.
You should be deeply suspicious of grammar.
Because grammar, logic, rhetoric, where you start determines how you end.
Like that, this is something you should worry about and something I worry about.
But it's not like the language you speak doesn't also have grammar, does it?
Did anybody else notice?
Did anybody else notice that the Catholic Church changed the prayer from peace to men of goodwill to peace to people of goodwill?
Did anybody else notice that?
Is anyone else upset?
You do understand in the English language, it's not obvious because we don't speak a perfect language like Latin that men, the male plural pronoun in English, includes both male and female humans.
Peace to men of goodwill meant peace to males and females of goodwill.
The same way, if you say cows, there's a bunch of cows over there.
The bulls are also included.
Catholic Church changed that prayer over the past few years.
I don't like it when the Catholic Church changes prayers.
I'm not a Protestant, am I?
Syncretism.
Serena knows what I'm talking about.
So, yes, grammar affects logic and logic affects rhetoric.
And rhetoric is the realm of magic.
It is the realm of magical effect upon the world.
You should be very suspicious of the grammar.
should be aware of the grammar that you're using I'm not sure we have a perfect language We just got to do the best with what we have.
And, you know, I've become increasingly convinced that C.S. Lewis was part of a mystery cult.
First time I heard that claim, I was like, no, fuck off.
You're just trying to claim everybody.
Second time, it's like, wait, no, wait a minute.
Actually, The Chronicles of Narnia, that has a ridiculous amount of correlation, too.
But one of the things that C.S. Lewis said that really stuck with me, well, he said two things that really stuck with me.
Both of them from his worst novel.
Number one, a righteous death is a treasure that even the poorest man can afford.
The second one was: nothing holy can be offered to Tash, and nothing profane can be offered to Aslam.
So, as much as all of us view it through a lens darkly, don't worry too much.
That which you offer to God, which is holy, will be accepted by the holy and true God.
And those that offer profane things to him will not be accepted, but will be accepted by the profane God whom they truly worship under a false name.
I hope this is a fun live stream.
Good luck out there, folks.
