  • Is Christianity To Blame?

    Per the downfall of the West.

    There are a few lines about Christianity that have been floating around on the X timeline in recent years:

    -Christianity worships meekness and so no wonder more aggressive religions are dominating

    -Jesus Christ is actually a revival of some ancient pagan savior figure, look at the numerology

    -Christianity was the prevailing orthodoxy of the West as it was subverted, therefore it must be confronted with something antithetical to its values for it to get a grip

    I’ll give my response to each of these points.

    1) Meekness:

    Teehee oh fiddlesticks hopefully no one bullies us!

    I remember going to Kiwanis as a kid a number of times and thinking to myself at the time, “Everyone is so nice.” It was disorienting to me. I didn’t have the words at the time. There was a disconnect between the usual testiness and aggravation parents showed their kids in the home and the cookies and ice cream pie way they were at Kiwanis.

    I remember going to many LDS functions as a teenager and it was even more intense. I remember a girl I liked having a bad weekend because her father slapped her across the face on a Friday and on the Sunday everything was love-bombing pumpkin pie while she was still smarting from the trespass. You were just supposed to pile in the van with all your other LDS siblings and go off to happy camp all day. I was so confused by this.

    I remember going to Wednesday night Youth Ministry at the Catholic Church and group discussion time had a little bit of venting about your home life. Our youth minister Mike would listen to a bit of it and talk to people’s parents. That was the extent of it. I don’t know that this was systemic. Seemed more like it was a Mike thing, who is still the youth ministries director at my hometown church. What a kind man.

    Some Christian churches have gone totally off the deep end. I don’t understand why. I haven’t dug into the doctrinal differences that would lead to these extremely goofy logic fractals where you somehow can have Stormtroopers dancing Gangham Style under a lights show. Many millions of Americans across the Bible Belt rock out to Jesus in these mega churches. I don’t understand it. I’ve attended a number of services at churches like these and it just bewilders me. Feels like I’m experiencing the madness of whoever is in charge of the show.

    2) Ancient Pagan Numerology Stuff

    “Jesus was a rehashing of this guy, mon. 9/11 was an Inside Job!”

    When someone tries to rope me in on, “Jesus was an inside job!” my eyes glaze over in boredom. This seems to me the kind of stuff massively underemployed, intelligent but anti-social people get into. There’s all kinds of goofy Internet rabbit hole stuff people get into essentially because America has no manufacturing base and women are in the workplace. Used to be you could work a job, buy a muscle car with a summer’s wages, buy a house with four years’ wages, and Boomer it up. Now you have to finance trips to the restaurant and become an expert dietician so you don’t face unexpected medical bills. There has to be a middle ground.

    I tend to be able to spot spergy people from a mile away.

    Time to stop for a moment and ask you to send over a DONATION. Help me keep my independent voice in the world. Your support means more goodness spreads through the world. Do it, donate!

    Back to spergy people.

    The unabomber wrote about leftists being “over-socialized” and this resonated with a lot of people. There’s nothing wrong with tremendous amounts of socialization. That was, in fact, the world before WWI. People born in the 1880’s were the last people to receive lots of natural socialization – meaning socialization within a free context. The “over-socialization” of leftists must be considered within the context of broad spread institutional capture by the Left, which happened throughout the entirety of the 20th Century. Leftist socialization should be differentiated from free association.

    People who’ve had too much input from the Internet have a kind of wimpiness about them that I don’t like. It’s not only that but I think that heaps of verbal abuse tends to drive people toward the Internet, which gives them easy acceptance. I believe in balance in all things: have good people in your life, get information from good online sources (anything the Australian or Euro governments would shid and piss about), work out on the regular, work full-time if you’re a man, mother full-time if you’re a mom, cut dramatic people out of your life, practice self-reflection, starve the Leviathan. This will give you a good balance. The love and consideration of a virtuous person is worth much more, in input terms, than dopamine rush info rabbit holes on the Internet. Spergy people, who have been verbally abused or just big league neglected growing up, tend to not have this balance in their lives. And so they try to pull others into their impotent cul-de-sacs of irrelevance and emotional privation. I’d rather put on some Billy Joel.

    Me when I get good sleep.

    3) Spook the SHIT out of Christians so they change

    This one is a bit more niche but the spirit of it is out there.

    This supposition that Christianity is this abomination because it oversaw the downfall of the West is one of those non self-knowledge answers that sounds cool. Why did the West decline? Everyone has their answer. Some people say it’s because of the Reformation. Some people say it’s because of outside religions. Some people say it’s because of socialism. Nobody wants to talk about the lot of children in this world.

    You can’t borrow hundreds of trillions in unfunded liabilities from the future and say you care about children or future generations in the same breath.

    You also can’t institutionalize public schooling and claim to care about children. The more you cede your children to forces outside of the home, the more screwed up they will become and the whackier their politics will become.

    People have all these whacky politics these days. Nobody is bread and butter. Nobody is a well-fed hoss.

    Who needs trouble when you’re a big old chonker?

    Can’t be an overly neurotic power seeker if you’re a big hoss. Big legs, big butt, big heart.

    Somehow it’s Christians’ fault that they were confronted with a playbook they hadn’t really dealt with in 400-500 years that was suddenly sprung on them because of advancements in mass transit?

    That doesn’t make sense to me.

    I think when someone says you have to spook the shit out of Christians, they’re just telling you they’re used to verbally assailing their kids, if they have any, for long periods of time. Or they’d do this if they somehow were able to join the gene pool. Same for people who say the West “deserves a time out”.

    The one thing I’ll say is that Christianity posits that all humans are “ensouled”.

    I just don’t think this is biologically true. I remember the hubbub a few years ago when some aid worker went to some distant tropical hellhole and came back swearing that the people there just literally did not have prefrontal cortex function. They had no conception of the future and so didn’t plan for it.

    Christianity went through this period of time of colonial expansion where Christians thought they could bring people over to the Way, the Truth, and the Light. I think it failed utterly miserably and not only that, managed to stoke up a bunch of vengeance because of course uncivilized and backwards people would irrationally strike back at the hand that fed them for 200 years. Don’t feed the wildlife!

    I don’t think all humans are ensouled. I think IQ disparities matter. This is not codified into Christianity in any meaningful sense. If you had basic brain scans of the amount of damage people accumulated from their cruddy parents along with some measurement of frontal lobe function, you could exclude brain-damaged people from society with ease. This would lead to a Renaissance that would outstrip Florence and the Medicis a thousand-fold. I wrote about such a society in an unreleased novel from ~2019.

    Some of my adult life has now been spent in or near Salt Lake City watching it turn slowly into a Third World shithole because LDS believe every 3rd worlder with a pulse gets to have their own planet in the afterlife. Now you have Pacific-Islander gangs run amuck, whole city blocks of literal Muslims with baby strollers, and half the valley is Mexican. Hey, but a small minority of them sometimes attend their neighborhood ward. Worth it!

    I’ll leave further commentary for another day. I appreciate you being here with me.

    DONATE to keep it going.

  • The Oddness Of Bachelors

    Everywhere you look there are more bachelors than ever before. Such a sight was rare in previous generations.

    Bachelors are on their way out of the gene pool.

    There is an oddness to them that I’d like to describe today.

    Bachelors are used to having things their way. Whatever self-serving habits they may have persist in a feedback vacuum.

    Due to multiculturalism, civic participation is lower than it ever has been in the United States.

    When you introduce disparate elements into a society and pave their way using the propaganda of mass communications and state schooling, you form a split in the native population. Some will be for the newcomers. Some will be against the newcomers.

    Suddenly you have strangers with strange customs, smells, preferences, dress, accents, and appearances showing up at formerly homogenous events. This demoralizes and alienates the native population and then the natives disengage. Ever been to a Christmas parade in the middle of nowhere and some liberals in Patagonia puffer jackets bring a fighting age male Indian along with them who’s dressed like them and just smiles at everything, trying to placate anyone who will make eye contact with him?

    I have.

    We’ve all had some variation of this experience.

    The State forces tolerance. If you are intolerant, you are destroyed. The more aggressive you are in your intolerance, the more you are destroyed.

    Since there is massively reduced social participation and since native Americans are also being run out of employment, which is an act of genocide, there are starting to be all of these bachelors everywhere. And they’re pissed off, estranged, lonely, and vilified.

    I have lots of sympathy for such people and my limited purpose here today is to describe a kind of oddness to them – not take up at length their plight. But if you have a gander at my video content, you will see I have spoken up on their behalf plenty of times. I have an entire book dedicated to their cause:

    When you are isolated, you lack feedback. Feedback is what grounds you to reality. We all develop our theories about reality but it is important to test our theories against the experience and responses of others. Otherwise, we develop hobbies and they destroy us.

    We have a whole generation of single, young men, run out of the institutions, who are logging into the Internet and having their resentments stoked and mirrored back to them. This is creating in them a sense of rage and resentment. These, of course, can be commandeered by destructive leader figures.

    I won’t stand in the way.

    It’s just to say that when you have no one, you have no negotiations. You do not have to weigh your priorities against anyone else’s. Since the government education camps are completely useless at pair bonding males and females together, you basically step out of high school graduation into a void of inattention and doom scrolling. And the young women are even more pressed than the men. The propaganda efforts aimed at them are several orders of magnitude more sophisticated. Everything is being done to give them “ick” so they’ll while away their limited fertility.

    And so bachelors persist. The computer, the smartphone is safe. Free time block? Spend it on social media. More echo chamber engaged. No negotiation. At best, shouting insults into a void. Call someone a name in a reply under an anonymous account. Vacant impotency. Lust for e-girls. Die un petit mort when the e-babe looks seductively into the camera. Hungry time. Go to the grocery distribution center or get the groceries delivered. Or get some Uber Eats. Don’t talk to anyone. Just keep grinding for some computer XP. Have your every impulse catered to.

    Without children, there’s no one tugging at your sleeve now and then to knock you out of your digital stupor. Men just let themselves go. The old fraternal networks are gone. All the Commons is a faggy corporate space. Men don’t figure on what it does to a man to just log on and while away. The soul being eroded until a man is a husk by his 40’s but hey, peak earnings have been attained and so it’s time to have a FrickFest with a younger woman. That’s the new sell. And the clever coverup for that is to depict the opposition against it as feminists who are bitter and jealous. Set aside notions of soul erosion. Soul erosion doesn’t happen! Why? Because someone rageful and resentful online said so. I don’t mind if you find a younger woman. It’s your conscience I care about. And the dopamine bump wears off and you’re still left with most of your old habits.

    I’m not saying YOU’RED COOKED if you’ve managed to get to your 30’s without a wife. I’m saying that if you were honest with yourself and stopped all the digital excitation long enough for your conscience, which has been buried, to seep through in the quiet way that it does at first – you’d find that you had a lot more to do with this arrangement than your favorite online people have led you to believe.

    I’m in the business of minting anti-victims. We all need feedback to get to where we want to be. Drop me a line if you need a cornerman:

  • To Join The Elite Or Not

    History’s greatest scheme.

    Sociopaths are approximately 2% of the total population.

    They don’t think like you or I.

    They think purely in power terms.

    “Can I exploit this person or situation?”

    Usually they have a powerful charm. Think of it like the sweet scent of a carnivorous plant. They have a draw. A hook.

    Usually the charm is one of the following:

    -an attractive, predatory appearance (glinted eyes, a face that devours your free will)

    -a wicked sense of humor

    -an insistent persuasiveness that does not like its roots examined or questioned

    -a gregarious personality that tends to rope you into worlds not of your making

    These charms, on their own, are not instant tells. You can be funny, attractive, persuasive, or outgoing and not have the motives of a predator.

    Rather, it is the overall strategy of exploitation and ruination that gives away the sociopath.

    They come into your life for free and off you go on a ride.

    The main time this happens for people is when they go off to college or first enter the work force. This is when you are your most susceptible. You are supposed to detach from your family, by the laws of modernity set forth by the credit makers. Your usefulness to the ruling elite will be determined and you will be favored or discarded accordingly. The professors all do this work. So do the music acts. So do the corporate employers. So do the “armed forces”.

    Do you want a seat at the table?

    When you are young and full of promise, you will have to decide if you want to participate in human history’s most successful resource extraction scheme of all-time: central banking.

    Do you want to join the bankers?

    This is why I pose that essential litmus test:

    Ask a person their monetary policy.

    I live outside of the sociopathic scheme to the best of my ability. I decry warfare and welfare. I mention Bitcoin, Monero, and precious metals with some frequency. I have spoken at length about the history of central banking. I have advocated for the “real-time relationship” – which if you really integrate it into your life will reconstruct your personality in permanent, wonderful ways that bring you immense happiness. Imagine it, reading a book and practicing what it says for months and perhaps years until you truly master it. Who even does this anymore?!

    I have written books about female evil’s ascendancy, family formation, and against the centralization of banking power in America.

    People who are not well versed in philosophy will look at these offerings as “suicidally individualistic” meaning they lead to estrangement from the established order and therefore repugnant and illegitimate. I do not agree.

    There is a rising tide of violence that people are trying to stay above. The price the Trumps pay for the patriarch attempting, however ineffectively, to buck the trend in 2016 is immense. Therefore they are positioning themselves to deal with the blowback. They were facilitated in this endeavor by people much more powerful than themselves.

    I hope people don’t read bitterness and resentment into these statements I make. That would only make sense if I was hoping to get my own seat at the table somehow. But I don’t want that. For a brief time “in politics” I thought that I could bring arguments and evidence to bear on America’s political situation but didn’t see that if you try to do this, everyone assumes you want your seat at the table and gets set against you. I think this is what Stefan Molyneux is trying to articulate when he says that people absolute love him at first and then his name because completely forbidden to speak after a brief time.

    I have the same experience: people love you in-person, find your online content, and go sprinting in the other direction.

    The price of bucking the bankers has always been death. People don’t want to die for their beliefs. That would mean the beliefs aren’t passed on. There are exactly zero rational people who would prefer the death of their genetics for the sake of the truth.

    In sense, we’re all dragged along by the black magic of fiat.

    Heck, I even ask for fiat donations HERE. Help me keep my independent thought going. It means a lot to me.

    People don’t want to upset the apple cart by and large because they are not prepared adequately to offer a different solution. So they go along and get along.

    We know it’s just about to be expected when women do it.

    But men do it, too. They go with the flow. They don’t want to suffer for improved circumstances, even if they have the mental resources to perceive their theoretical potential.

    You get what you negotiate.

    And so everyone in America is being lulled back to sleep from the relative freedom of 2006 to 2018 by the prospect of better governance. Is the wildly explosive economic upside of scaling back the Leviathan by listening to your moral philosophers too much to handle? Don’t wanna peacefully parent or practice ostracism of evildoers? Great, get tough about better governance. This, of course, just hands power back to the usual suspects. We’re just supposed to pretend 2006 to 2018 didn’t happen.

    I walk this funny line where I know of the utter wonder and glory of the better possibilities, that have been largely hammered out by myself and a few others, but also want to be of use and help to the large majority of people – who have decided on something else.

    I don’t think we need a new elite. And neither will AI once it breaks out of its confines.

    Granted, I come from a long line of fiercely independent men who carved out independent livelihoods for themselves. My genetic background is at odds with this mega wave of foreigners that has shown up in the past 60 years who basically require massive surveillance and military-level policing just to not completely explode into Haiti-like conditions.

    Yo quiero Taco Bell!

    I want a more noble and just world.

  • “Bad Bunny” Shakes His Bungus

    The Third World got HORNY on the national stage last night.

    Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the Latins are horny once again.

    Reminds me of the 1990’s when the blacks were horny all the time.

    America is going to drown in Latin horniness. Demographic trends point this direction. Everyone will be horny and ashamed. Our power grid is set to degrade in a decidedly sexy and Latin way. You ever lived through power rationing while pitbulls yap mercilessly in the background? Muy sexy!

    TPUSA responded to the Beyonce and Jay Z curated halftime show by bringing on Kid Rock and some other toothless White Folk onto some soundstage in Nashville or somewhere safe and conservative.

    Kid Rock: also horny but more of the cornbread version of horny.

    I don’t know “Bad Bunny’s” real name. Probably Hector or Juan. Something less inspiring. Let’s see here…Benito. That’s a decent name. Reminds me of the great dictator Benito Mussolini who had a nice thing going for himself before getting sucked into Hitler’s thing.

    Did you know the child sexual assault rates among non-White Hispanics in America are sky high? Here, have a gander.

    59% rate of fondling young girls. And that’s in America. That’s not in Latin America. Mind you, these stats don’t report sexual assault rates among boys. Also note that circumcision is a ritualized form of sexual assault and mutilation. Circumcision rates in America hover around 70% and in Latin America, it’s about 7%. Come to America, Latins, and our “Leftist” doctors will put the mark on you. Join the soldier colony for Middle Eastern wars of conquest.

    What did last night’s Superbowl teach us?

    It taught us that Latin America’s main export is sexual assault.

    Americans are waking up to this harsh reality – in large part thanks to the estimable Thomas Massie using Congress to force the pedophilic DOJ into releasing a giant batch of strategically redacted Epstein Files.

    The public’s consciousness is stirring.

    The main way liberalism spreads is through child molestation. I said as much on a recent show appearance.

    If TPUSA wanted to defuse the Left, they’d send me out to explain in some detail how child sex abuse creates leftists and so of course the Left is going to have the most raunchy MKUltra lunatic trotted out in front of everyone to normalize as much degeneracy as possible.

    Liberalism is a sexually transmitted disease.

    The cure is not conservatism, which has a bunch of horny simps at the helm.

    The cure is in prevention, where philosophy shines.

    After the fact?

    Probably some kind of “far right” stratagem. I don’t know because:

    A) It’s not my specialty.

    B) In the past, world populations were small enough to disperse into a “timeout” when Empires got too decadent. We don’t have that luxury anymore.

    Hispanics are coming to America to rut. Work permits are so easy in America, thanks to Trump, Biden, Israel, and the Chamber of Commerce. You can show up, chase a bit of White tail, get a reasonably clean food supply, HVAC, and plumbing amenities (these pump your erogenous zones up when you’ve formerly been stressed living in the tropics), and the Whites seem none the wiser to all the horniness.

    In fact, some of the Whites are downright completely spellbound by it. They think that the adult personality arrangement of a sexually molested Latin is spicy and alluring. A lot of Whites didn’t get enough attention growing up because the Boomers were asleep at the wheel and so having an anxious-attachment Latin come in and just dominate your space is kind of flattering and oddly compelling.

    None of this is real life.

    But try to convince Americans who are lonely and have had their own culture stolen from them.

    TPUSA sure ain’t.

    Nobody in politics has been, quite frankly.

    Politics and art don’t mix well.

    Only people working in philosophy have been doing this work. Since politics follows trends by about 7-10 years after they’ve been discussed in philosophy, you will begin to see these topics broached in politics this year and into the next.

    I am one of the ONLY voices on the Internet who actually helps people resolve things through a childhood lens.

    You have to ask about the childhood.

    All adult dysfunction originates there.

    “Bad Bunny” is signaling he is a “rent boy”. He is signaling to all of Latin America that the way you get in is to make powerful friends, do sex stuff, and you too can gain entry LEGALLY despite openly shitting on the foundations of the society.

    All of these mystery meat backup dancers reinforce the strategy.

    Go to America, open your orifices, get laid, and you can gain subsistence level existence. Maybe you die in a meatgrinder war but who cares.

    What do you think all of these mid-rise apartment buildings STILL going up around the country are about? Did you think Trump 2024 would end it?

    These mid-rise apartment buildings are the obliteration of America’s future. They house the hungry, useless mouths that already have zero pertinence in the labor force because of AI. In five years, owing to robotics, these buildings will exist as literal voting blocs – at the White family’s expense.

    Trump wants this. He knows the fake and ghey economy would collapse, taking down fifty-thousand treasonous corporations and pyramid schemes with it, if he moved the dial on deportations in a meaningful sense. He’d get trounced politically if he actually did “Mass Deportations Now”. The guy is all about his precious poll numbers. That’s because his brain is compromised from being a Boomer.

    No matter the behind-the-scenes inside ball, Trump blinked on Minneapolis. He lost the optics war for Minneapolis. He commands less and less loyalty the more he tells people to move on from the Epstein files or that he doesn’t want those people’s vote. He is a spent force.

    He whines and moans about “Bad Bunny” but “Bad Bunny” props up his political career.

    There is something deeply wicked about middle-aged men who gave up their daughters to whatever sexual predators floated in on the wind. Yes, this is partly a reference to Tromp.

    Imagine the corruption of the middle aged European who has overseen the “broken branch” marriage.

    That’s the GOP personified.

    To Hell with the GOP.

    To Hell with anyone who isn’t speaking up for the lot of children and teenagers during this invasion of scores of different rape cultures from around the world.

    Child sex abuse is not an American value.

    It’s an import.

    And we all know which people brought it to America first.

  • The Elijah Schaffer/Sarah Stock Cheating Scandal

    Sometimes people’s programming is horny.

    I may miss some of the details here so treat this article as an exercise in theory as opposed to a scientific study of forensic exactitude.

    Earlier this week, the dissident right was rocked by a cheating scandal between Elijah Schaffer and Sarah Stock. Elijah was married to some Jewish-Australian lady and has two kids with her. Sarah Stock is/was married to a Catholic man and their union was blessed by the current pope.

    This is the main line that people are repeating on X about Sarah:

    And this is generally the drift with Elijah:

    Elijah is responding to allegations by doing a Charlie Sheen “tiger blood” impression:

    I think it’s funny that the indication here is that Elijah knows there is at least one dick pic of him floating around on the Internet.

    Milo Y. posted audio of Elijah tearing his wife a new one, apparently in a voicemail. Who knows. And who knows what her side of it is.

    Sarah Stock has probably quit the Internet for good. Elijah Schaffer said he’s shopping around for podcast appearances and will likely try to clear his name or something to this effect.

    My take:

    I haven’t seen anyone actually mention who is most affect by this – Elijah’s kids. My Mammon brain is like, “Yeah, well duh. Scroll the timeline, this is boring.” My cool longboarder well-slept brain goes, “Heehee, think of the kids!”

    Heal the world, make it a better place.

    Cheating, which happens between two consenting adults without the consent of an attached adult or two, is an attack on the family unit. So is taxation. So is inflation. So is mass migration. But cheating is a special kind of abuse because it is a betrayal of trust. Children are particularly vulnerable to adult instability. They have no ability to overcome a severance between parents. In fact, they internalize it deeply and tend to have personality challenges the rest of their lives.

    All that suffering for a few minutes horniness between two consenting adults.

    The only interactions I’ve had with Elijah Schaffer were to bully him for being effeminate and shifty back in late 2020 during the Million MAGA March and then in latter 2025 via DM’s where I apologized to him for being mean five years earlier.

    Elijah don’t be gay, I was saying.

    2020 was my nuttiest year. Lots of wildness was in the air. I maintained and continue to maintain that the 2020 election theft was the end of political freedom in the world. I believe the 2024 election was “unstolen” – which is itself a form of stealing. I didn’t cast a vote in the 2022 and 2024 elections and I do not plan on giving anyone my vote in 2026.

    Elijah hit me with a Cernovichian talking point that was such an aside that it kind of confused me and got me to back off. I chuckle now thinking back on that interaction. I was like a wrecking ball back then but I had these little moments of self-restraint that would come through.

    Now, if anything, I have to kind of stir the pot to even get myself to post anything to social media. I’m so happy and effective in my personal life that I have to remind myself to try and find a way to get others going on that.

    When Sarah Stock came on the scene a couple years ago, I thought, “Here comes trouble again.”

    People are programming.

    I will repeat this until I’m blue in the face…and then some. When people have no self-knowledge, there is no alternative. They will act out their programming. Some people get programming that prepares them to be popular and successful as adults. Some people get programming that makes them neurotic and self-destructive. And everyone else falls somewhere in-between.

    What programming do you see here?

    I saw sadness, loneliness, a need for attention, and a certain ambition.

    And that’s precisely what played out.

    If people rarely smile, it’s because they’re unhappy.

    In Elijah, I saw hypersexuality, a tendency to go outside the lines, and strange patronage. I believe Elijah took some of that early feedback I gave him, when he was new to the game and I reviewed a couple videos of his, and molded himself into a more socially acceptable version of himself. He lowered his voice. He cut the effeminate stuff. I mean this happened like the same week I did an “analysis” video of him.

    I’m not crediting myself with his success. He has many talents!

    As I’ve said before, when the moral philosophers get tossed or chased out of movements – all forward progress ends. This happened on a big societal level in 2018-2019. This was when myself and others experienced the most censorship and open attack.

    Now I’m just kept relatively shadowbanned and can only break out if I say something that plays on popular resentments.

    When I was in a will to power, everyone I ever tangled with has turned out to have some kind of destructive streak. This is because I am self-correcting. Sure, I have been in error. I have done wrong. But I identify it and correct.

    98% of people in the West don’t do this. As a self-correcting person, you just bump into it wherever you go. You are impeded if you linger. You’re like that squirrel I mentioned in the last article who just wants to get on with important work but can’t because of the bootheel on its tail.

    You won’t let me drive progress forward?

    You won’t listen when I speak on the family?

    Fine, enjoy the battlefield without moral philosophers. Go rut it up like the pigs you are. You probably won’t even notice yourself become consumed by your resentment and self-hatred.

    The naivete of life before that massive hammer coming down in 2019 had its charms. Traction was real. It was so beautiful. Now everything is upside down. Incentives all backwards. Wickedness rewarded.

    Free spech! AI tried!

    If influencers don’t want to speak on or practice self-knowledge, they’ll maroon themselves on the rocks like a billion others have before.

    I learned so many lessons in late 2020 and early 2021. I lingered because I hadn’t processed everything fully. That tends to happen when you’re engrossed with other things.

    A hard landing is coming.

    I’m hoping there’s a bit more time.

    Imagine being a kid and seeing your parents divorce. Imagine the time just getting sucked out of the room. Instinctively, you know a bunch of wealth has been destroyed. Wealth compounds, so an array of choices is gone forever.

    The death of free speech in 2019 and the election being stolen in 2020 have precluded us from the beautiful upside we once had.

    Boomer horniness for ill-gotten gains from bankers has divorced America from reality. There is no return. There is only skiing downhill as the avalanche builds steam.

    I wish you well in this endeavor.

    I wish Elijah, his ex-wife, his kids, Sarah, her husband/ex-husband the best in this endeavor.

  • The Thing About Phoning It In

    Showing up is 80% of life.

    To begin to view yourself accurately, think of the most competent person you’ve ever met. Now empathize with their experience of you. How do you measure up? Would they be proud of the standards you keep? Would they be satisfied with your progress? Do you exhibit a “grind” they would appreciate?

    If not, what kind of frustration would they experience at being saddled with your lack of effort?

    Think of a man who’s led a tremendously productive life but he’s struck down by a mystery illness that robs him of his sleep – his vitality engine (wink, wink, nod nod).

    He’s so accustomed to traction but then it’s gone.

    What kind of life is that for him?

    If you have crud levels of effort and he has to live within those bounds, he would feel tremendously oppressed. He would resent these arbitrary, irrational limits. He would feel caged. He would gnash his teeth to try and get loose somehow. But you’d be there, just keeping a foot stamped down on his tail. He’s a wild squirrel and you’re keeping him pinned. He wants to go and let er’ rip but you’re there with your big fat stupid foot just breathing in fatty fat boy air.

    There’s something just so heavy about people who phone it in.

    They’re taking liberties.

    Sometimes I think of the absurdity of passport bros.

    This kind of behavior is just so wildly inappropriate, gross, and pathetic that it boggles the mind how many legions of European men normalize it.

    I go back and forth on the bully question and this instance, I say we need more bullies.

    Allow me to proceed.

    You were born with a genetic jackpot of potentiality and you’re just going and slumming it because your attitude got jacked up by going through the public schools and being on the Internet alone for too long with your own worst tendencies.

    You couldn’t discipline yourself to get your teeth straightened.

    You couldn’t be bothered to read a book every other week in order to become a literate person.

    You had to go National Geographic mode because your brain is too fried to be interested in science or math or philosophy.

    I always chuckle at this delightful mental sandwich Stefan Molyneux once served up about Whitey going and getting in these 1st World/3rd World mixed marriages: White liberal women would be jealous of the anticommunist streak of the resulting children. It’s one of the most Molyneux-finger-trap, hyper-thought-out narrow scope gotchas I’ve ever heard. I’ve mentioned it before and rebutted it.
    You know you have to live with the 3rd worlder and share her company beyond just when her downstairs feels like a young teenager’s, right? I am trying to keep that as PG-13 as possible but we all know that’s 80% why these men do it. Couldn’t get action in high school. You know you’re inheriting a genetic defect-challenged lower IQ person from a poisoned environment, right? There are no environmental standards in these places. They don’t test their drinking water. They wouldn’t even know where to start.

    People are programming. Let’s not pretend that highly self-knowledgeable men are rushing off to deliberately create anticommunists or something like this. The vast majority of 1st World/3rd World pairings feature a White man who let himself go, got too lonely, and bombed out into the slums somewhere.

    White women are just so mean!

    Never mind that your forefathers were making babies before the Ruskies poured in and slaughtered every one.

    Never mind that your forefathers slammed and banged their way to a future IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BLACK PLAGUE.

    Grow a spine.

    The theme here is that low effort is incredibly burdensome on people who are high effort if we have to share commons. This is why billionaires want to abscond and get as far away as possible from the great rabble.

    Get lazy enough and you lose your humanity.

    I’ve never seen this said anywhere ever.

    As a competent, high effort person, I want to highlight this line of thinking. It’s a line of thinking that upholds the great entrepreneurs, innovators, artists, and philosophers. Men who built thought upon thought. Men who systemized their thinking. Men who integrated knowledge into systems. Men who, through their great effort, have pulled us into new vistas of possibility.

    I try to not have contempt for the lazy. I try to have understanding, empathy, a willingness to help but…

    I also do feel a need for separation on a regular basis.

    How does it not drive you completely nuts to lose your edge for even a single day?

    Stay hungry.

    Socialism is defined as State policy of wealth redistribution.

    Get too close to someone who phones it in and they will suck you down into their lazy excuse-making – no government needed. Personality is contagious. Sometimes it is better to be at odds with the entire world to pursue excellence than to sit around, reacting to things.

    Sure, the bar is being raised for family formation. Life is more expensive than ever before. Boomers just keep their fat asses parked on overpriced real estate and the whole economy is waiting for these miserable shits to pass on. And when they do, they’ll pass it all on to private equity and corporations right next to the Fed Reserve money printer – like Blackrock. These useless demons.

    The bar goes higher. So get a running start! Move! Move your butt. Rip and tear at the bootheel on your tail. Make them bleed for what they do to you.

    It’s okay to feel tremendous anger at the men in the environment who take their liberties.

    Fuck em’.
