Neo-feudal aphorisms

An experiment

This post is in a different style to previous posts on this Substack; it’s an experiment of short-form aphorisms (i.e. a concise, terse, laconic, or memorable expression of a general truth or principle), although I did cover the aphorisms of Diogenes of Sinope previously and I enjoy the aphorisms of others such as

L.P. Koch

’s here. Many of the below expressions could be expanded to their own posts and perhaps some of them will be, but it’s fun to try a new style regardless (and not just fun but perhaps required; my attention has been scattered recently). Some of these you may recognize from comments left on Notes, others are new. The topics covered are disparate and eclectic.

Here they are:

On technology: If the establishment isn’t publicly attacking a piece of technology, that means they own or control it. I can’t think of any examples that works against this rule. Encryption and VPNs are a joke against government surveillance. Tik Tok was banned because globohomo did not own it outright; Signal’s encryption offers no protection as it is a government funded project. In particular, any technology that advertises how great its security measures are is a skinsuited macabre ghoul where they not only lack shame about deceiving their customers, they invert the deception and push it as a benefit to their users, thinking they are despicable and retarded cretins. If you’re going to lie, cheat, and steal, and least be a little ashamed and discrete about it (Google’s evil was so extreme they eventually felt enough shame, I guess, to remove their “Don’t be Evil” motto).

On the four stages of corporate growth: Owen Benjamin had a great bit on his stream about the four stages of corporate growth:

• Stage 1: Focus on the customer (delivering cheap prices and great quality).

• Stage 2: Focus on the distributor (maximizing the distributor profits).

• Stage 3: Focus on the shareholder (maximize the shareholder profits).

• Stage 4: Completely invert the values of the company and attempt to corrupt and kill the customers.

We can see this with Disney pushing transsexualism and anti-white bigotry on its customers who hate it, we can see this with Facebook banning endless numbers of its customers and filling the remainder with globohomo slop propaganda, we can see this with Google which intentionally broke their search engine to promote wokeness, we can see this in all fast food which has all sorts of terrible and unnecessary chemicals in its food to slowly poison its consumers (to the extent their food is even food; at Wendy’s, for example, only 56% of their chicken breast was actually chicken¹), we can see this with Bud Light pushing trans or the NFL pushing Black Lives Matter and spitting on the American flag, we can see this with all sorts of entertainment - film, television, books, video games - that push wokeness even though it dramatically hurts its bottom line.

On the importance of a grounding mechanism: Without a grounding mechanism, how can a person separate one fleshed-out argument from another in an era utterly lacking credible institutions or “experts”?

There are a number of grounding mechanisms. The one I use is a recursive refinement of my worldview by judging it against its predictive capacity for the future; if a prediction turns out to be wrong, I update my perspective accordingly.

Another mechanism is the traditional scientific method where experiments can be repeated by third parties, but that unfortunately has been corrupted in an era of establishment funding, scientific “modeling” and the “scientific consensus.”

Whatever you believe, it’s important to have a grounding mechanism or it’s too easy to fall off into schizophrenic paranoia and fantasies. See here for some additional commentary.

On weight loss drugs: The public’s response to Ozempic based on what I’ve seen anecdotally is mind boggling; they express fascination with it and seem half a step away from wanting to try it if they’re overweight and not on it already. If you point out that basically every weight loss drug in the past that actually works has been yanked from sale because of extreme side effects - see Fen-Phen, Meridia, Acomplia, Fintepla, Belviq, and a bunch of others - and that the better a weight loss drug works the more likely it is going to kill them, they look at you with empty, bovine eyes, and grunt some form of acknowledgment before wanting to change the topic. I usually expect them to drool a bit out of the side of their mouth but I havn’t seen it yet. OK guy, the new wonder weight loss drug is really great, sorry for poo-pooing it, I’m just a dumb pessimist who sees the glass as half-empty, har-har, you should definitely get on it and just drop dead. Drop dead right now, you’re too stupid to live.

On small talk: I had dinner with a bunch of normies recently. Topics of discussion: which giant health care provider was better than the other, allergies and other reoccurring health issues, family members getting cancer, globohomo travel plans, how the new Taylor Swift album is.

This is why I’m a recluse.

On Biden’s cabinet: How many Dementia Joe cabinet members can you name without looking?

Everyone serving in Orange Man’s administration had a media magnifying glass placed on them, which aped Saul Alinksi's rules for radicals -“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

It’s the opposite in Dementia's administration. No one in the public knows who any of these people are; I follow politics pretty closely (well, less closely these days but still more than most) and I barely know who some of them are. For example, Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s stepfather Samuel Pisar was the longtime lawyer and confidant of Robert Maxwell, who in turn was the father of Ghislaine Maxwell. These so-called “elites” have all sorts of connections like this and could make for a good investigation. But is it worth the effort? It’s easy enough to smear them all with a brush as demonic, soulless, anti-white sociopaths…

Everything we eat can be rebranded as healthy: For some reason, likely due to autism or asperger’s, or alternatively due to my lesser need for material possessions than most, I’ve always been much less influenced by branding and marketing than other people. TikTok branding expert Matt Rosenman has a great series where he redesigns existing brands to appear much healthier even though nothing about the product has changed. See his great videos here. In this one he rebrands Coke. One may have to be logged into Tiktok to view the links, which is annoying.

Is the lotto rigged? We know that every mainstream institution in America has been skinsuited and corrupted, without exception, yet many people think that the Powerball and Megamillions lottos, and even the scratchers, are somehow above board. It reminds me of the McDonalds Monopoly scam where the guy in charge of security gave out the top prizes to friends and family; they even made a documentary series about it. Why should one assume any of these government-sponsored games are above board? Sure, they take 50% in taxes off the top and another 50% of the remainder if you take your winnings in a lump sum, but isn’t it better for globohomo to take 100% of the funds instead of 75%? What would stop them? It certainly isn’t morals, ethics, or likely even logistically challenging for them.

A Jewish warning on immigration: Stephen Steinlight of the Center for Immigration Studies (cis.org/Steinlight), who was previously National Affairs Director at the American Jewish Committee (AJC) for eight years, warned American Jews back in 2001 that the unlimited open borders policies they were promoting essentially ubiquitously as a community would likely result in summoning a tribal-based non-white golem that would turn on them. He recommended a reconsideration of these policies toward much less immigration as well as much increased assimilation. He was of course ignored. Here’s the 2001 article.

On scapegoats: Why did globohomo throw Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, and Sam Bankman-Fried to the wolves? These were all rich, powerful, well connected liberal Jews - isn’t it strange and odd that they were cut off and let go? How do you reconcile this? I have my theories, but interested in hearing thoughts of others on this.

On Cyber Polygon: Globohomo is laying the groundwork for a false flag U.S. attack on its own infrastructure in order to usher in CBDCs and possible martial law, which will result in the largest loss of freedom in human history.

That’s not to say this will happen - they did prepare for it though via the Cyber Polygon event, much as they prepared in advance for the COVID scam with Event 201 - but it’s one of the tools in globohomo’s belt to unleash depending on political strategy or necessity.

On so-called foreign aid: Another fraudulent round of so-called “aid” has been given to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

Don’t be fooled: very little of the money earmarked for Ukraine is actually going to Ukraine. The vast majority of it is being funneled through Ukraine back into the hands of the transnational security elite, as Julian Assange so eloquently explained about the same process in Afghanistan (I post this video all the time and will continue to do so until it sinks in):

It is simply a very conscious raping of American citizens under a very flimsy propaganda cover.

The same process applies to Israel and Taiwan, although at least Israel probably gets more actual war material than Ukraine does.

On dropping out: Dropping out is the inevitable result of the oligarchy in charge of the West “managing” and controlling public opinion in the name of so-called “democracy”. If you have no power at all - and the peasants in the West have very little - then what is the point in participating in the charade?

In the foreword to the George Schwab translation of Carl Schimtt’s “Political Theology”, Tracy B. Strong argues that Schmitt commented on this point:

"Schmitt, with explicit reference to Max Weber, sees danger in the increasing sense of the State as “a huge industrial plant” (PT, 65). Increasingly this plant “runs by itself… [and] the decisionistic and personalistic element in the concept of sovereignty is lost” (PP, 48). For Schmitt, this is a developmental process. As he lays it out in the Barcelona lecture, the history of the last 500 years in the West shows a common structure, even though as the controlling force has changed, so also has what constitutes evidence, as well as social elite. Thus in the sixteenth century the world was structured around an explicitl understanding with God and the Scriptures as foundational certainties; this was replaced in the next century by metaphysics and rational (“scientific”) research and in the eighteenth by ethical humanism, with its central notions of duty and virtue. In the nineteenth century economics comes to dominate…and, finally, in the twentieth century technology is the order of the day. And this is at the core of his claim that ours is an age of “neutralisation and depoliticization”: whereas all previous eras had leaders and decision makers, the era of technology and technological progress has no need of individual persons….

The point of [Schmitt’s] analysis of the centrality of the exception for sovereignty is precisely to restore, in a democratic age, the element of transcendence that had been there in the sixteenth and even the seventeenth centuries— Hobbes, Schmitt believes, understood the problem exactly. Failing that, the triumph of non-political, inhuman technologizing will be inevitable."

On feeling alive: George Gurdjieff stated that "Man lives his life in sleep, and in sleep he dies.” As a result, a person perceives the world while in a state of dream. He asserted that people in their ordinary waking state function as unconscious automatons, but that a person can "wake up" and become what a human being ought to be. Thoreau said "the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."

The world only becomes alive when you subsume your ego and start listening to your intuition. It doesn’t mean you have to listen to it blindly - you don’t and shouldn’t, it still needs to be balanced against one’s intellect, emotions, and sensations - but it’s a very important element to feel whole. The globohomo system has worked very hard to make you doubt your instincts and intuition and to discard them as much as possible.

See populist Mike Benz’s Tweet here for some additional context.

On the hedonic treadmill: Let’s say you get everything you want. You win the lottery. You have a mile of 10/10 chicks lined up around the block to do whatever you want; any girl you like would love to be with you. You grow to be a 6’5” musclestud (if you’re not one already). Your IQ jumps to 200. Everyone in the world knows you and acknowledges you and admires you. You have every great car out there, a dozen homes and heads of state call you for advice. Your health is great and you’re likely to live to 120.

What would the end result of all of this be after you calm down and adopt to your new situation?

It would be boredom. You would be bored.

And this is because the satisfaction of desire results in only boredom until what springs from you mysteriously is new desire; you chase the new desire until you satisfy it and are bored again and the cycle repeats.

This is what’s called the hedonic treadmill.

In other words, satisfaction of any material desire will at best result in boredom, not happiness or satisfaction. The itch for fulfillment can only be scratched, to the extent it can be, by a quest for spiritual fulfillment and connection to God.

On Trump the Peaceful: Despite Trump’s flaws - of which there were many - he does deserve the label of Trump the Peaceful. Zero new wars started during his administration; he pulled out of Afghanistan (globohomo delayed the actual withdrawal until Biden entered office so he could claim credit as globohomo pivoted to the Ukraine forever-war), tried to disengage America from Ukraine, and even the small-scale attacks he felt forced to engage in (such as bombing an empty Syria airfield) were very light. There were also basically no domestic terror attacks initiated by the CIA/FBI under his administration.

Trump the Peaceful is also a pretty funny label.

On the upcoming end of mass air travel: Globohomo wants the end of mass air travel, and as steps toward that result Boeing fired 65 competent white males for being “hateful” since 2020.

At some point planes will start regularly falling out of the sky.

On Black Lives Matter: Black Lives Matter is apparently headed toward bankruptcy after being extremely and stupidly corrupt, but that was never the point. The point was to drive a wedge between blacks and Trump leading up to the 2020 election which the establishment was desperate to steal, which they successfully pulled off using a wide variety of tactics, and they also had the benefit of teaming with Antifa to burn down a tremendous number of small Republican-leaning businesses. Now that globohomo has “fortified” their elections (“they were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it”) with permanent vote-by-mail, a Democrat postal service tsar, permanent ubiquitous surveillance, and letting 20 million Democrat-leaning illegals into the country in the last four years, BLM is possibly not a necessary component of their 2024 strategy (if they don’t want skinsuited Trump to win) - hence they may be okay with cutting it loose for a bit under a cloud of corruption, which they can then resurrect and bring back from the dead as politically expedient. Gross.

Louisiana Arby's manager found dead in a walk-in freezer: He was accidentally locked in when the latch was broken. What a way to go. This reminds me of the guy who got accidentally locked in a tuna pressure oven and died that way. "This is the worst circumstances of death I have ever, ever witnessed," said Deputy District Attorney Hoon Chun, who noted that he had tried more than 40 murder cases over two decades. "I think any person would prefer to be -- if they had to die some way -- would prefer to be shot or stabbed than to be slowly cooked in an oven.” What does this say about the nature of reality or of God’s justice to be slowly cooked to death in a tuna oven? Oh, or see this story about a guy who was hit by a car and killed while helping ducks cross the street. Thanks God.

On balance: Not my aphorism, but as

Darren Allen

writes:

Between left and right, between science and religion, between self and world, there runs a tiny little crack, invisible to all the heavy arguments of either side, but into which the small quiet spirit slips and finds itself in a world—no, a universe—of strange mad wonder, in which all great philosophies are reconciled and from which all great ideas and feelings and acts and creations spring like mushrooms from a spore, like palm-trees from an oasis, like gods from the head of Zeus. Here, in this slender eternity, there is truth as hard and useful as brass, and yet, when you reach out for it, it flashes into a smoky spirit and flies away. It’s not to be possessed.

On mental atrophy: J.K. Rowling, who has been complaining about trannies humiliating women in female sports such as this, is an example of the mental atrophy that occurs when one hits middle age. One grows up and imbibes the zeitgeist of the era of one’s youth; in Rowling’s case it was 2nd wave feminism. But then one hits middle age and their mentality atrophies; they are comfortable with the environment they grew up with but no further — this is a emotional feeling and not an intellectual, reasoned or moral position. So Rowling pushes hardcore 2nd wave feminism in her Harry Potter books but balks at 3rd wave — if she had grown up in a different era the same pattern would have repeated itself with other topics de jure….she deserves to get eaten by the 3rd wave horde she helped bring about…

On the Israel/Palestine Current Thing: George Soros is apparently funding the current college protests against Israel.

Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t, who knows. The bigger point about these protests is that the media is deliberately highlighting them, which means it wants to push the Jew/Muslim tensions higher; alternatively, the media does not want to cover the completely open southern border where 20 million illegals have streamed in over the past four years. Maybe more. Or the $1 trillion being printed every 3 months now.

The media simply decide the framing of what is reality for most people. Today it is Jew/Muslim tensions; yesterday it was George Floyd, BLM, antifa, Putin = Hitler, wearing face diapers and getting experimental and deadly mRNA vaccines. Switch turns on, switch turns off, the masses dance brainlessly to the tune. Such as it’s always been, such as it always will be. Pick a Current Thing sponsored by the FBI and CIA on both sides and play along!

On the intended audience of this Substack: I’ve been getting some accurate feedback from others that the casual way I throw out terms like “globohomo”, “shitlib”, and “Dementia Joe”, along with concepts such as Rothschild control over the world’s central banks. Combined with a particular writing style that, and I quote, “the only people who can tolerate reading it are those who start their day off by snorting a nice fat line of adderall”, quickly turns off normies from this site. Don’t I care about reach? Don’t I want to have impact? Sure, everyone who writes cares about reach. I’m no exception. But these are important terms and they’re really fun to write, and if I changed my long-form but dense-material writing style to make sense to normies each post would be of interminable book length. Also, because one’s clique and physiognomy are essentially immutable, I’m more interested in connecting with a specific subset of the population: ideological dissident loser clique losers. If someone else wants to take these principles and ideas and dumb it down for a mass audience of eye-glazed NPCs, go right ahead.

</ends rant, feels self satisfied, normies start leaving>

<starts feeling nervous>

Wait, normies, I didn’t mean that, haha, come back!

Call me?

The fraud of Jordan Peterson: Crybaby Jordan Peterson, a self-styled master at resisting groupthink but who took the heart attack jab under pressure before publicly proclaiming they would have to kill him before he would get the booster, apparently drew up an anti-World Economic Forum group comprised of…current and former WEF members like Dan Crenshaw. Thanks, Jordan, you’re doing some real amazing stuff here.

On evil: There is something about what we think of as an "evil" personality -- they tend to deny their own darkness. In Jungian terms humans become more whole and complete when we acknowledge our unconscious/subconscious desire and beliefs which regularly are dark and disturbing -- by bring the darkness into the light, by acknowledging and incorporating it, we ascend to another level of personal and spiritual development.

By denying their own darkness, though, these "evil" types tend to subconsciously project their own traits onto their hapless enemies. As Scott M. Peck states in People of the Lie, p.73-75,

"A predominant characteristic, however, of the behavior of those I call evil is scapegoating. Because in their hearts they consider themselves above reproach, they must lash out at anyone who does reproach them. They sacrifice others to preserve their self-image of perfection....Scapegoating works through a mechanism psychiatrists call projection. Since the evil, deep down, feel themselves to be faultless, it is inevitable that when they are in conflict with the world they will invariably perceive the conflict as the world's fault. Since they must deny their own badness, they must perceive others as bad….In The Road Less Traveled I defined evil "as the exercise of political power - that is, the imposition of one's will upon others by overt or covert coercion - in order to avoid...spiritual growth". In other words, the evil attack others instead of facing their own failures. Spiritual growth requires the acknowledgment of one's need to grow. If we cannot make that acknowledgment, we have no option except to attempt to eradicate the evidence of our own imperfection....Utterly dedicated to preserving their self-image of perfection, they are unceasingly engaged in the effort to maintain the appearance of moral purity. They worry about this a great deal. They are acutely sensitive to social norms and what others might think of them....the words "image," "appearance," and "outwardly" are crucial to understanding the morality of the evil. While they seem to lack any motivation to be good, they intensely desire to appear good. Their "goodness" is all on a level of pretense. It is, in effect, a lie. This is why they are the ‘people of the lie.’”

Also, p. 119: “Evil [is] defined as the use of power to destroy the spiritual growth of others for the purpose of defending and preserving the integrity of our own sick selves. In short, it is scapegoating. [The evil] scapegoat not the strong but the weak. For the evil to misuse their power, they must have the power to use it in the first place. They must have some kind of dominion over their victims.”

Judges: There’s something very dystopian even just optically that a foreign-born judge, Amit Mehta, sentences political prisoner January 6 defendants to decades in prison.

On the benefits of an age of uncertain faith: It seems like whatever dogma animates society must discriminate ruthlessly on that basis: Hellenist Rome discriminated on culture and the imposition of Rome's legendary administrative system but let the locals have the freedom of religion (so long as it was non-exclusive); Christianity discriminated on the basis of religion (except for allowing Judaism) and material knowledge but was perhaps more lenient on culture. With religion it was intrusively meddlesome; for example John Chrysostom reassured his followers that being intrusive and meddlesome on the basis of religion was not done to harm others but to help them. To turn on, hound and hunt their fellows in this way was not to harm them — it was to save them, a concept totally missing from Hellenic thought. Catherine Nixey's The Darkening Age does a good job describing the desecration and destruction of the ancient world by Christians imposing their religion onto others.

Personally, I enjoy certain aspects of this current age, particularly the uncertainty surrounding faith. It is that uncertainty that allows a creative exploration of ideas to flourish (for those who are looking for it, anyway). As Emil Cioran wrote,

“Is there a pleasure more subtly ambiguous than to watch the ruin of a myth? What dilapidation of hearts in order to beget it, what excesses of intolerance in order to make it respected, what terror for those who do not assent to it, and what expense of hopes for those who watch it . . . expire! Intelligence flourishes only in the ages when beliefs wither, when their articles and their precepts slacken, when their rules collapse. Every period’s ending is the mind’s paradise, for the mind regains its play and its whims only within an organism in utter dissolution. The man who has the misfortune to belong to a period of creation and fecundity suffers its limitations and its ruts; slave of a unilateral vision, he is enclosed within a limited horizon. The most fertile moments in history were at the same time the most airless; they prevailed like a fatality, a blessing for the naive mind, mortal to an amateur of intellectual space. Freedom has scope only among the disabused and sterile epigones, among the intellects of belated epochs, epochs whose style is coming apart and is no longer inspired except by a certain ironic indulgence.

To belong to a church uncertain of its god—after once imposing that god by fire and sword—should be the ideal of every detached mind. When a myth languishes and turns diaphanous, and the institution which sustains it turns clement and tolerant, problems acquire a pleasant elasticity. The weak point of a faith, the diminished degree of its vigor set up a tender void in men’s souls and render them receptive, though without permitting them to be blind, yet, to the superstitions which lie in wait for the future they darken already. The mind is soothed only by those agonies of history which precede the insanity of every dawn.”

Thanks for reading.
