Fear, Shame And Intimidation Are Chemical Weapons

I rather hate to do this, but these first two paragraphs seem the best way to make this very important point. Apologies.

Imagine that some combination of circumstances end with you walking into a so-so bar, then accidentally causing some gigantic brute to spill his drink. Imagine also that this brute just learned that his girlfriend moved out, taking his money with her. Continue reading “Fear, Shame And Intimidation Are Chemical Weapons”

Anyone Who Goes To Work For A Central Bank Coin Is A Traitor

(Originally published in 2019 and still necessary.)

There’s a time and place for just about everything, and this is a time to be blunt:

Anyone who takes a job for a central bank or any similar entity, building a cryptocurrency, quasi-cryptocurrency or kind-of-blockchain-thing, is a traitor. Continue reading “Anyone Who Goes To Work For A Central Bank Coin Is A Traitor”

CNN Is The Mirror of Narcissus

File this under “needs to be said.” Ah well.

The lords of Hollywood, the political elite, the educational elite… these are not uniformly stupid people. Some of them, in fact, are fairly bright. Observing them, however, might lead you to the conclusion that they are blindly stupid or even purposely evil. Nonetheless, most of them are not evil; rather, they are overly-committed narcissists.

A Full Confession, Part Two

Martin continued talking for a while, but mainly about his childhood and early career. Then, he moved back to the problem that America posed to rulers.

In America, at least in the early days, people believed they were the primary factors; that they created rulership structures for their own sake… that the structures had no validity, except to serve them.” Continue reading “A Full Confession, Part Two”

This episode of the Parallel Society podcast explains something that’s tremendously simple and is great news for us, but is at the same time deeply radical, going against the structure of the world we live in. And that’s a simple phrase: We are structured for magnificence.

This episode of the Parallel Society podcast explains something that’s tremendously simple and is great news for us, but is at the same time deeply radical, going against the structure of the world we live in. And that’s a simple phrase: We are structured for magnificence.

This concept offends people, of course, but however off-putting this little phrase may seem, it is true. And it opens a door to a magnificent future.

And we can demonstrate that mankind is structured for morality.

The Dark Ages Weren’t Actually Dark

Most people still have the idea… the image… that the “Dark Ages” were filthy and grotesque, like a Monty Python film.

Not only is that false, but the people of the Dark Ages should be held in high regard. They’re the people who, for the first time in human history, killed slavery on a civilizational scale. They also created free market capitalism. And so, the prosperity that we enjoy to this day exists thanks to the people and ideas of the Dark Ages.

If that sounds crazy to you, you should probably listen.

The Collapse of The Enlightenment

We’ve been watching the Enlightenment collapse before us in real time. This is something that adults need to understand.

What remains of the Enlightenment is collapsing for structural reasons. This discourse doesn’t reat upon political or academic theories, but upon facts and direct observations. Obviously I’m simplifying (one can’t write history any other way), but minus the inevitable exceptions and complications, this is what has happened and what is happening.
