Man Made Mud

This time of year, the late winter/early spring in northeast Ohio is the maple syrup season and the mud season.

One of the more interesting, surprising observations of my 50+ year life is mud is mostly man made; there are exceptions, of course, but mud is generally a product of disturbed nature, that is, where the natural courses of drainage and plant growth are destroyed or disturbed.

My property illustrates this very well. In the spring, some areas of our yard, that is the grassy areas of the property where all the trees were chopped down many years ago can turn into a swamp in February/March. Then if people, or animals like deer, walk through the swamp the soil percolates up through the grass and it turns to soupy mud in spots.

In the wooded areas of the property, where the soil is composed of the same glacial till at the same slopes, there's no mud. There are leaves on the ground this time of year from the fall, plus the forest root system seems to form a ubiquitous drainage network. The tree root systems in a long lived forest like that are everywhere, even coming up just under the leaf mat. There are areas which are natural pools formed by long dead trees that fell over and uprooted... even those drain in a day or two after a heavy rain.

People try to dry out the grassy lawn areas with french drains and similar strategies, but the lifetime of shallow drainage systems is pretty short. If they're not buried below the frost line, eventually they'll break up from frost heave, or get clogged up or collapse, or get ripped up by trees or animals. The previous owner of our house went all-in on such drainage systems and they started failing about 10 years ago. They probably lasted 15-20 years, plus they don't really drain the swampy lawn areas, so they're kind of pointless.

I let some of the muddy areas of the lawn grow wild. After a couple of years they turned back into a meadow. Meadows generally do a good job covering up the mud as well. The taller, thicker weeds like goldenrod or berry bushes will collapse under the heavy snows and form a thick mat after a couple of years. Eventually trees will take over there too and in the distant future that will turn to a nicely drained forest area as well.

In perpetually damp areas that were wrecked by annual mowing and rolling, it's difficult for even a meadow to establish itself, and moss takes over, so even in that case, the mud gets covered. So generally a property manager doesn't really have to "do something" to cover up mud, eventually it takes care of itself. However, eventually might be a really long time.

Matter/Pattern

Sometimes the origin of words yields a surprisingly fresh insight into the nature of things. I was curious about the origin of the word "matter" as in "I matter", meaning, "I am important". The more common meaning of "matter", and maybe the "original" meaning is: undifferentiated stuff. Eventually, I guess that concept morphed into various versions of "stuff", for example "the matter at hand", which is maybe how it turned into the concept of "mattering", as in "I matter" as in "I am stuff as well".

The origin of matter is the Latin word mater, which is mother, as in mother earth. I think "mater" and various version of that word go waaaay back into the mysts of time and the theoretical "proto indoeuropean language". 

The origin of "matter" being "mother" leads to the obvious question what's the "pater" derived word that takes on the same role, and that's "pattern".

The concept that the undifferentiated material world is "feminine" and the plan is "masculine" is an old one apparently. One of the symbols of that is the obelisk, like the Washington monument, which is, of course, a dick. One of the associated ancient concepts in agriculture is "the sun" goes into "the earth" and produces the plants in a crop.

Nothing Lasts and "You" Don't Matter

The mind exists in "an information dimension". Other people with a similar model of the mind think there's "one information dimension" and conceptualize it as a place and think the distinction between individual's minds is an illusion. Who knows? Anyway, there's a sort of strange relationship between this dimension and the 3D reality world. They are attached, but distinct. In fact, the concept of a "space" or "dimension" seems entirely off, but there's no other suitable analogy because ironically enough the mind's representations of such a concept revolve around the body's relationship to other objects in 3D reality.

This scenario gives birth to all sorts of human dramas and delusions. The entirety of these delusions is encompassed in the probably apocryphal, too good to be true story of Alexander "the great" meeting the cynic philosopher Diogenes of Sinope, which is in present day Turkey. The two men offer completely different conclusions about how one should live when the temporality of a mind is the most fundamental human fact.

Not only is "I" temporal but the entirety of human endeavor is also. Diogenes decided to live the simplest possible, most "natural" life. Alexander went and killed a bunch of people and "conquered" territory to establish "hellenic civilization", that is to impose the mental model of his bros on as many people as possible to the extent that's ever possible which is "great". The civilization model is basically a shared delusion.

For some odd reason for many people it's a bitter pill to swallow the notion that nothing at all lasts and you don't "matter" even though this is as obvious as the blue sky, stars, or sunrise. In a world of all change, nothing lasts. Even stones eventually turn to dust. Men and women age. Once firm, supple skin turns wrinkly and dry. The entire world of man will be over in the blink of an eye in geological terms. That is all obvious.

The story of Diogenes and Alexander revolves around the "I matter" concept. Ultimately, mattering can be boiled down to "leaving a mark". I think that terminology betrays the origin of the "I matter" concept. The verbal and symbolic reasoning aspect of the mind is an entity of symbol processing and memory. As long as there's "memory" there's an "I". Another aspect of "mattering" is being able to impose one's own internal model of reality on others. A person can insist "I matter the most". This particular idea is expressed by the tombs of pharaohs of Egypt, or those Chinese emperors buried with terracotta armies, or Viking funerals where the bros of the dead dude sacrificed women, pets, horses and the like.

Modern variations on this theme are greatly attenuated and more playful. For example, the grave of Benjamin Orr, a member of the rock band  "The Cars" has a grave site in Thompson, Ohio. Fans put little trinkets to pay homage to his memory. Similarly, Chef Boyardee's grave in All Soul's cemetery in Chardon is honored with cans of spaghetti and meatballs and the like.

 

Another twist on this scenario is people form narratives with a "god" and order of the world related to the god or gods, where the "I" existed before birth, then continues after death but is blessed or punished according to some cosmic rule book and presumably a life score. This is the mind model of probably billions of people. The concept there is one "matters" as part of a gamified, systemic reality. The particular rules of these games are bizarre and utterly arbitrary.

I think the rules various groups invent betrays some genetic underpinning for belief. Like various sects of jews have hyper-legalistic beliefs about their demon lord's systemic game. Other ethnic groups understand the game is not legalistic at all, because of course it's absurd god has a giant set of rulebooks and have more animistic and ironically more comprehensive views of the information dimension/spirit realm.

Japanese Cars and the Tech Industry

I've been working in "tech" for years doing so called embedded software. It's the type of software that runs in an electronic gizmo you might own, like a Roku, or a cable modem, or a stereo, bike computer or whatever. There are countless such items out there in the world, and there's some team of software people making them work.

In the past 10-15 years, I'd say that particular niche of tech, like the rest of tech, "jumped the shark". At some point in the early 2000s, maybe around 2008-10, the task of writing that type of software subtly shifted from creating something new to "integrating" existing components that other people wrote. That same thing happened all through the tech industry.

"Integrating" systems seems much easier than creating things from scratch, but it often doesn't work out like people hope and generally products based on that approach end up being pretty janky and fragile. Tech gizmos "created from scratch" can also be janky, but in my experience, the products built more or less from scratch did not have the "janky" characteristic.

Anyway, I think the "integrated tech junk" problem will get significantly worse over the next few years because of AI generated slop code, which will take the "engineer" job down another notch from being an integrator to being a slopmaster.

I think this is actually a great opportunity in tech similar to the opportunity Japanese car manufacturers had in the 70s and 80s. They focused on reliability and value when the big three in the US were focused on style and marketing. I guess the analogous scenario in tech would be to make software and devices that actually work instead of focusing on AI generated slop, or "natural language" AI interfaces.

NYC Spent $81K Per Homeless Person

Governments are good at wasting money and killing people.

The government of NYC spent $81,000 per homeless person. The obvious reaction to that is, why not just give the homeless people that money so they can live in a home, or smoke it all up as crack, or whatever

There's not really any way to "fix" problems like homelessness because there's no way to fix people. I'm not sure what fraction of the population can actually be helped, but it's pretty small. Dysfunctional people generally can't be "fixed". The people who are otherwise functional, but end up in some acute trouble they can recover from only with help is a very small group indeed.

Those people who are capable of recovering should, obviously, be helped. The people who receive government assistance but can't really recover or ever be productive are actually the basis for an industry that's really lucrative for the people running it.

Anyway, I guess nobody should be shocked at a number like $80K. The really interesting thing to know would be how much do executives and management in the homeless industrial complex make relative to that. I'm sure some of those people are getting into the seven figures in salaries, i.e. a  10x or more multiple of what the average crackhead costs a place like NYC.

Narratives and Mountain Bike Trails

I regularly ride on a couple of mountain bike trails. One is in my woods on my property. The other is in a park that's about a mile from my house. The trail in my back yard is about 0.8 miles. The park trail is about 6 miles. I've ridden dozens of laps on the backyard trail and maybe 10 laps of the park trail.

One of the interesting things that happens with these trails is my brain "automatically" subdivides the trail into a collection of linked segments. I didn't sit down with a piece of paper and draw a map or really even think about it at all, but it's obvious after the fact that there are distinctly different sections all linked together.

There's obvious advantages to thinking about the trails like that. Generally each segment contains a specifically difficult challenge, like a steep hill, or a gnarly set of turns, a narrow bridge, or an obstacle of some kind. It's often helpful to be mentally prepared a second or two ahead of time to get positioned on the bike, or speed up, or slow down in advance.

Also there's an overall distinct "feel" of the section, which is how the sections come to be delineated in the first place, like going up a steep hill is just all out hard, or cruising down a gentle slope is fast and easy, but in that case it's necessary to be attentive to corners to not brake too much and maintain some speed.

Anyway, it's pretty common for the mountain bike sessions to feel like an adventure story. Typically it's about executing each section cleanly and as fast as possible. It's really easy to blow it and have to brake hard or go off a trail or even crash. It's self-rewarding to get through a turn at speed or to go blasting over a narrow wood path that's 30 feet long.

I don't do a similar mental segmentation of a road bike route at all. It often has distinct sections, but they're much longer in terms of both time and distance and generally the focus of the mind is on maintaining some level of effort, rather than trying to stay on the road.

It's fairly easy to see where "meaning" in a story comes from when looking at the MTB trail case. The narrative is associated with physicality on the MTB. The physical effort is similar to emotion in the instance of a story. A piece of music is similar, that is words or the overall flow of the music is linked with physicality through rhythm and the up and down of the pitch and maybe emotional content of the chords and words.

More "Invade Iran" Blather from Trump

The USA is the ultimate "Zionist Occupied Government" 4channers and others raved about for years. It is utterly stupid for the US to try to invade Iran after the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq fizzled out with nothing positive to show. I don't think it's even remotely plausible to drop US infantry into Iran in any significant numbers. I'm sure there are plenty of special ops dudes running around in Iran, but that's a lot different than setting up bases, etc... Anyway, draft dodging Trump continues to pretend that invading Iran is an option. It's appalling the US has such trash installed in DC and has for many presidencies.

Billionaires and Cults

I recently watched some videos of Peter Thiel talking about transhumanism and the anti-christ and other "fringe" topics. It makes a ton of sense that rich people are into transhumanism, because death mocks the whole concept of wealth and privilege. It also makes sense that wealthy people are really into "the occult" and secret societies like skull and bones and other similar nonsense all of which is related to the "transhuman" projects because they're all about an "escape" from death.

Think about billionaires of yesteryear, like pharaohs of Egypt. They built elaborate tombs and were surrounded by a bunch of cults and priests that developed funerary rites and guide books of the afterlife basically "to live forever". Nobody today can really imagine some deadass mummy is "alive" or that there is a very particular egpytian spirit world filled with the phantasmagoria their priests came up with while smoking ancient egyptian crack and somehow a pyramid and a room full of their bling setup an apartment in hell. However, some billionaire will listen to a dude like Ray Kurzweil about transhumanism, whose just another version of the same shit and invest in elaborate scammy projects to help move crazy projects forward.

It makes me think the rapid construction of data centers and splooging gazillions into "AI" is more about their cultish beliefs than anything else. It seems entirely plausible that "the wealthy" or ruling class people support an ongoing R&D effort, maybe lasting centuries, that's 20% serious/80% scam. Then there are reactions to that R&D project in entities like the catholic church. They still have "exorcists" and demonologists (you can find videos of priests talking about these subjects at length on youtube).

The concept of "demons", demonic possession and various occult practices seem to all revolve around "the ego's" realization it's alien to the 3D physical reality world, the same way a computer program is alien or in another dimension from the physical computer hardware, really all information is in some separate dimension apart from physical reality though thoroughly attached to it.

Over the years people have come up with various faux operations on "the ego". One concept is a human being can "shed their ego", that is, drop their personal history and become "reborn". I think the overall phenomenon at work in that concept is the personal history is accidental and imposed by others, like parents, the culture, random life experience, etc... and the egomaniacal weirdo wants to be fully self made and "perfect". I think this is also related to the nature of death; the grim reaper is present in the accidental/random nature of experience and circumstances of birth. The egomaniac wants to be free of that.

There's another variation on that theme where the "ego is discarded" and then replaced with a so called "demon". Various secret societies seem to practice this concept. For example some occult jewish groups basically believe in some version of resurrection in this manner, that is, the demon of some dead jew takes up residence in some current day live jew. A prominent example of this is Sabbathi Zevi who beamed down into Leo Frank. Note that this concept is essentially the same idea as being "an officer" of some corporation, which is a faux being.

Unfortunately, the whole population of the west is suckered into these schemes, just like in ancient egypt many generations of average joes spent their life building tombs for dead retard psychos. It's gross. Fuck these people.

Sorry rich bros, you're going to die just like me, a bird, or a bum on the streets. In fact the natural and sometimes rapid death of animals, even when sometimes horrible, seems better in many ways than kicking the bucket in a nursing home or under hospice care or whatever.

Trump Sending in Marines?

There's a rumor that 5,000 US marines might "go into Iran"? I'm not exactly sure what that means. Maybe they are going to try to control the straight of Hormuz or something? It seems entirely implausible the US can perform some type of amphibious landing in Iran, so it's not clear what this rumor even means. Perhaps it is meant to pump oil prices. It is Friday the 13th, so maybe some cult/numerologist retard in the federal government took the auguries and decided it is time indeed to "invade".

Anyway, I guess we won't know until the Baal worshippers in DC and Israel decide to do it. I'm not sure how many marines it would take to wipe out the current Epstein government and reboot the US from the corporate oligarchy run by devil worshipers to something resembling Jeffersonian democracy. 

Failing Volkswagen Screws Workers, Execs Cash In

 This is a very typical story: Volkswagen plans 50,000 job cuts due to plunging profits while board members secure €1.75 million each in bonuses

Even though VW is swirling down the toilet, the executives structured their bonus schemes so they would almost certainly be paid while at the same time they shafted the workforce. This is a pattern that's very common, although once in a great while some CEO bucks the trend and sacrifices for their workers.

Even though blatant cheating and malfeasance is so common these days, it will eventually stir up a hornet's nest especially if times really get tough for the average joe or jane. They will realize the nominal "ruling class" is actually very easy to reach out and touch so to speak.

This is yet another reason why absurdism is the only philosophy that makes any sense. "The system" always runs amok. Eventually the average person realizes everything they were conditioned and trained to believe is a lie that keeps them docile and working for trash.

Mock Cults/Religions

While I was thinking about the question "do cult leaders believe their own bullshit?" the case of mock cults and mock religions came to mind. A couple of good examples of those are Dudeism, which is a faux religion/philosophy based on the movie The Big Lebowski which is maybe related to concepts from Robert Anton Wilson's "Discordianism".

Another related phony religion is "The Church of the Subgenius" which was a big thing when I was in high school and college--the mascot image of that religion was a 1950s looking man with a pipe named "J.R. Bob Dobbs". I'm not even sure how I knew that. It's possible some friends of mine had materials from the parody "religion" in high school. One of the guys who developed the "Church of the Subgenius" is Ivan Stang who was headquartered in Cleveland Heights, Ohio for some time, which is maybe why it was a big thing here. Stickers of J.R. Bob Dobbs were all over the place. I haven't seen one for ages though.

The mock religions are an interesting case because they are created, intentionally, as a parody of mainstream religions and cults. I think they mock the general concept of "belief" in what's often, ultimately a comic book. Or maybe more generally, they are a reiteration of the concept that the symbolic reasoning mind is really an alien to this earth and can actually "know nothing" of substance. This concept is emphasized most strongly, I think, by science, the ultimate rational mind project which basically demolished all "revealed" religions and then led to the bizarre concepts of the 19th century philosophers who gave birth to Nazi and Zionist ideologies which are really just another species of mock religions.

The "judaism" of a guy like Benjamin Netanyahoo or Ben Shapiro is as "serious" as Dudeism or the Church of Scientology. The core of their "belief" is from a Nazi philosopher who preached that "believing really really hard" was the ultimate/best human activity, which is obviously nonsensical.

Another related example of these fake churches is faux music groups like "the KLF" who had a number of huge hit songs in the early 1990s like "3AM Eternal" and that song that's played all the time at basketball games "Dr Who and the Tardis".

This whole subcategory of philosophy or overall approaches to life is really related to what I'd call "the way", and it pops up at the end of empires. A philosopher like Diogenes is a great example of one. I think the overall category could be labeled "absurdism". I'd even lump stoicism in with that category, and count myself as an absurdist. I think the gnostics are another related category; their claim to knowledge is radically subjective.

The absurdists realize that claims on knowledge are mostly false. Not much can be known. Virtually ever single person parading around on the public stage is an absolute fraud and scumbag. Nations and religions are corporations fleecing people and often mass murdering people for profit.

Will the Psycho Jew Mafia Launch a False Flag Attack on the US?

Unfortunately, it seems like a near certainty that the psycho jew mafia will launch a false flag attack on the US and blame it on Iran and the corrupt doofus government and many dumb fuck Americans will go along with it. However, at the same time lots of people in the US are skeptical of such claims by now. Even if it's 25% of the population that's a whole lot. The media is not as capable of bamboozling the masses as they once were. It's probably wishful thinking to imagine the public would say "no" to escalating the retarded war on Iran to a full scale ground invasion, but it could happen. 

Do Cult Leaders Believe Their Own Bullshit?

Back in the 1980s, a famous west-coast cult led by an Indian guy named "Bagwan Sri Rajneesh" broke up under pressure from governments for its nefarious activities. The cult was large and had lots of money and real estate all over the world. The cult leader had a collection of Rolls Royce cars. That aspect of the cult was featured on a 60 Minutes piece about it back in the early 80s. I remember watching it when I was a kid.

One of the persistent questions about cults is do the leaders of a cult believe their own bullshit? In the 60 Minutes piece, Rajneesh came across as a very cynical scammer. Whatever words he said were betrayed by his mannerisms and owning a collection of expensive cars, at least that's what I thought when I was maybe 12 years old or so.

 

The Rajneesh cult was just starting to go down the full crazy trail just like Heaven's Gate, or Jonestown cult or Aum Shinrikyo did by the time the Rajneeshies came under legal pressure. For example, they poisoned the local townspeople near their Oregon cult HQ with salmonella in 1984.

The prevalence of cultish behavior and beliefs is lost on many people. For example, in the image above of Rajneesh in a Rolls includes a bunch of people in "asian" style garb and many people associate cult behavior with things "asiatic" or from "the east". However, there are plenty of jews in cults, or european descended people in western style cults. You can find scenes of mobs of jews worshipping various messiah type figures wearing their particular garb which is just some version of the robes warn by the Rajneeshies.

Here's a picture of Trump visiting the grave of Schneerson, the guy pictured above, who led a large cult that apparently is running the US government now.

One model of the cult leader is they are a cynical scammer who knows the ideas they sell to their believers are all imaginary. That is, if they were to have a discussion with an outsider about their cult's beliefs, they'd acknowledge the cult beliefs are just a bunch of nonsense and stories. Another model of the cult leader type is they are also "committed" to their stories. Often they invent a third party, aka "god" who gave them a "revelation".

I think the second type of cult leader is actually the most common and it's the current model in charge of Israel, or the model of the neocons in the United States, which actually seems based on Germanic romantic philosophy and the overall "anti-rationalist" theme of it.

Is the Trump Admin Dumb Enough to Send Troops into Iran?

Lots of pundits are pointing out an "Iran Invasion" is essentially a suicide mission, or is totally implausible to begin with due to the terrain in Iran: It's extremely rugged, even worse than Afghanistan. Also the Iranians had decades to prepare for such a war, so any attempt to invade would likely turn into a bloody failure regardless of air superiority and technological wonder tools like satellites, etc...

In spite of that, the Trump admin seems to be intimating an invasion is in the offing. This makes me wonder if the purpose of the whole Iran boondoggle is really to "destroy" the US to rush in the next level of jewing the population with crypto-currency and AI tracking of behavior.

Anyway, we'll see what happens. The war doesn't seem to be following the script the US and Israel had hoped for and it keeps getting more dangerous every day.

Kelly Osbourne: Bad Models of Reality

I think I watched at least a few episodes of whatever TV show the Osbourne family was on in the early 2000s, so I was aware of who Kelly Osbourne is when her current day picture started circulating the Internet as a cautionary plastic surgery tale. She currently looks like a ghoul.

I think that's a great example of the vast gulf between the ideas people can have about 3D reality world, including their own body, and the natural order of things. It seems like there's no "good" cosmetic surgery, except for things like repairing injuries. Reshaping a human's face or body to fit some particular notion of beauty seems to almost always produce a trainwreck outcome.

Humans seem to have some built in methods of assessing very slight deviations from the natural distribution of muscle, bone, and skin maybe to help us avoid people with diseases. When a plastic surgeon slices and dices somebody's bones and muscles, it leaves some weird fingerprint of distortion that registers as "diseased" or something similar.

A few months ago I was on a flight to LA and sat behind a woman who had filler injected into her face--mainly her lips. She frequently talked to her husband throughout the flight, and he was across the aisle from her so her face was frequently visible. The filler is supposed to make a person look younger, but it just looks  like swelling, maybe from an insect sting. It must not be possible to replace lost collagen and other elements of the natural youthful skin in a way that accurately mimics it. It looks "off". This naturally draws attention if for no other reason than to figure out the problem the person is having.

Kelly Osbourne's visage is just a great example of the gulf between the natural order of things and the mental model of reality, which in her case is just some opinions she, maybe her family and a plastic surgeon had about what her face should look like.

The US "Secretary of War" Is a Cult Freak

 There's a video from 2019 of the current "Secretary of War" ranting about "building the temple" and all the associated kookery. A bunch of death cults infiltrated the Federal government. Aum Shinrikyo successfully infiltrated the Japanese government and police as well.

Israel Spraying Syrian Farmers' Crops

 There's a video from France 24, a public TV station, showing Israeli crop dusters spraying Syrian farmer's crops. Here's the youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lyp9Xfess3Q

War, chaos, death and destruction from a racial supremacist ethnostate that unfortunately seems to completely control the federal government in the US.

US bombed a water plant in Iran

The entire gulf region depends on "man made" water, basically, because there's not nearly enough fresh water to support the millions of people who live there. That's true all through the middle east. Countries like Israel and Saudi Arabia rely on water desalination plants to supply the most basic need for their populations.

Apparently the US just blew up an Iranian desalination plant. I think so far the Iranians haven't done that. They blew up other civilian infrastructure so far, like airports and office buildings. If they decide to start bombing other more basic infrastructure like power plants, substations, and desalination plants life will get miserable for millions of people who live in an untenable environment.

Clash of Cults and a Delusional Public

Apparently one of the commanders in the US military stated that the war in Iran is somehow related to biblical prophesies and armageddon or whatever. Anywhere you look, all around the world you'll see some version of Aum Shinrikyo or some jewish/freemason sex cult like Epstein's little clique or NXIVM, dudes in robes in Bohemian Grove worshipping an Owl, which according to Richard Nixon involved the "gayest shit ever", or weirdness like "Skull and Bones" at Yale where they supposedly have a bunch of skulls and practice rituals of death and rebirth. That group appears to be a mix of hereditary members plus "new" membership. There are some families who had multiple generations of sons go through some cult at Yale.

Kookoo bananas evangelical christians spent millions of dollars breeding a "red heifer" for nutcase jew priests to sacrifice to bring about the construction of the third temple of demonologist king Solomon. One of the former supreme court justices was a member of the cult of Leo Frank. The Mormons followed a conman who peered into gazing stones to write their bible. The British Empire was essentially founded by Francis Bacon who worked with another occultist John Dee who practiced the same thing. They also participated in wife swapping a la Leo Frank.

At the same time, many people try to make sense of the world with rational analysis or game theory or look at resource scarcity or various other natural science-like explanations of world events. These rationalistic explanations are a present-day phenomenon. In the ancient world these cults were more out in the open and priesthoods were in league with the political unit of various places for thousands of years of human history. It seems like that system is still firmly in place.

Ironically the delusion of the public, now, is that it's "leadership" is meritocratic and rational, when they're really a bunch of nepo babies in cults run by magical thinking weirdos and LARPers. One of the interesting aspects of this particular delusion is the average US person is not shown the crazy ravings of "jewish" supremacists in Israel. The jews are presented as rational "western" people in a sea of rabid muslim fanatics. It's not very hard to find footage of some whacked out genocidal maniac jewish politician or priest though raving about prophesies and jewish supremacy.

The dopes in the Gulf region blowing each other up right now live in a desert with a huge population. There's no water there to support the population or to even irrigate crops. However they vie for supremacy over old comic books basically, rather than cooperate to improve their overall situation. It seems likely in this current war that basic infrastructure like water desalination plants will eventually be blown up which might make large regions of the middle east basically unlivable.

US Empire Problems

The US federal government has very little to do with the people of the US, except they were necessary to provide it with a huge credit limit. After the Vietnam War, the US Empire decided to go with an all professional military, and has followed the "technological wonder weapon" approach for years. The people running the empire have very little connection with the average citizen. It seems like their dream is to use technology so only the little clique of people in DC are needed to make any decision so they can carry out whatever psychopathic plan they dream up.

This approach is a side effect of the dreams of jewish supremacy and separatism that seem to plague Israel as well as DC and other places like New York or even Hollywood. The neocons in DC, for example, imagined all they needed in the Iraq war were plans and enough lies to keep the public duped. The US military was able to destroy the Iraq military, but in a few short years following the war, it was clear that the US wasn't really able to control the country, and now several years later, the remaining US presence in Iraq will probably be thrown out.

It's bizarre to me that on the heels of that failure, people in DC are tackling an even bigger opponent in Iran. Their plan seems to be to use US military air supremacy and US taxpayers to keep bombing Iran then try to destabilize the country so it just falls apart like Syria did... then they'll do something else, I guess install a jew in drag as an Iranian as the king of Iran.

In the meantime maybe tens of thousands of people in Iran will die, their property will be destroyed, and their lives will be completely disrupted.

None of that is helpful, useful, or in line with the interests of the average American person. It doesn't really matter that the government of the US is bought and blackmailed by what's basically a jewish death cult. I'm not sure how long that condition is going to last if the entirety of the public starts to despise their phony leadership and this cult. 

Drones--Too Cheap

Footage of drones blowing people or equipment up have been steadily flowing out of Ukraine for years now. There are fields covered with a mat of fiber optic cable from the fiber optic guided ones. In the current war in the middle east, Iran is hitting neighboring countries with relative ease. I read that one of the Iranian drone bombs costs about $50,000 to make. I think that might even be on the high side. One of those can do many millions of dollars of damage against the right commercial, industrial, or military target.

The US had this cost asymmetry problem for several decades of war in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. The US, really the Jew Empire military will drop a multi-million dollar weapon on a mud hut. That effectively drains the entire US population of some small amount of life energy every time because we get the bill for all their nonsense. The cost to the population who built the mud hut is very low. It's not hard to build a mud hut.

This cost asymmetry is a pretty major problem for the Jew Empire, which is predominately a financial empire built on trade of oil for funny money. The US probably can't protect the infrastructure of oil rich countries in the Persian Gulf region and maybe can't protect oil trade to Asia from cheap drones. If you look at a terrain map of Iran, you'll see why, or look at a map of Shi'ite muslim population centers you'll see why.

Maple Syrup Season

Every year around late February/early March people in my area of northeast Ohio start maple syrup production from trees on their own property, usually in a shed/building they constructed specifically for that purpose. The number of households or farms that do it every year is surprisingly high. On every somewhat rural road, there is at least one household that has a sugar shack with steam rolling out of the roof during the days.

The sap rising is driven by heat cycling through the night and day. Overnight it's often below freezing, during the day it's often above freezing this time of year, and even when the air temperature is below freezing a tree with southern exposure will probably warm up through the day.

There are several different approaches for collecting the sap and concentrating it into syrup. The typical approach is to boil it, often with wood, especially if someone has a wooded property. However, there are many other more sophisticated/less resource intensive approaches too. Some people freeze dry the sap before boiling, for example. The ice effectively removes much of the water. Some people vacuum dry the sap all the way into syrup. There are also some reverse osmosis methods for producing saps. Presumably each approach has pros/cons.

A few friends of mine and former classmates of mine produce syrup every season. Some do it on small scale, some have an farm scale operation. Some retail the syrup themselves, some sell it through various small shops. There are also people who make the syrup into whiskey or other more processed goods. I think most people do it as a hobby, rather than a serious money making opportunity. However, when you own your property outright and have a low cost of living, even hobby farming activities result in a "profit", maybe of hundreds or low thousands of dollars.

Jew Empire Attacks Iran

Who knows if it's WW3 or yet more airstrikes on a middle eastern country, but the Jew empire just attacked Iran. Zion Don named the war Operation "Tepid Manischewitz" and is doing it all for "Jeffrey Epstein." 

How many people in the US want a war on Iran? It's hard to say. I doubt many people even know it's happening right at the moment. It's probably a really good idea to go fill up every available container of fuel with diesel or gasoline. Maybe gets some cash. If you haven't bought gold or silver already, you're probably SOL on that flight to safety.

If you live in a megalopolis city, go on vacation somewhere quiet. I'm personally not going to worry about my job, especially if things immediately escalate over the weekend.

We'll see what happens to the US dollar over the next few weeks. The sailors sitting on ships over there in the assholeyland might end up thrown into the fire for Baal. If that happens, anything might happen from there.

I was thinking about writing an email to the congress critter for Geauga county, but it's pointless. The rump parliament of bribed and controlled losers does not matter at all. It's a jew empire.

Model of Reality as a Defining Characteristic

An individual's "model of reality" is built up in a complex layered fashion. The base is genetic which defines a person's physicality, then the model is informed by experience and training. A person with a  "typical" life gains experience via their family, neighbors, teachers, and the wider culture. However, each of these experiences and lessons interacts with the deeper layers so the same set of information that's presented to two different individuals will result in two unique arrangements of the resulting "model of reality". Like a sickly, weak boy will get a different model of reality than a healthy, strong boy from the same info. Similarly, a girl will end up with a completely different model of reality than the boys from the very same information.

These disparate models lead to many problems among people who are attempting to live together or work together. I think this is an especially acute problem in the so called "multi-cultural" societies like the US. "Socialization" and "culture" homogenize myriad individual models to a degree. For example, during the middle ages the Roman Empire morphed into the Catholic Church that subsequently went around and "preached" to Northern European people who previously lived in societies of small villages, farms, and who had egalitarian institutions like "the thing". Those people have a significantly higher proportion of ancient European/hunter-gatherer DNA.

I think the northern Europeans never really fully tuned into the Christian religion, which was largely concocted as a joint venture between Roman aristocrats and jews (like Paul, the actual founder of so called catholicism). "Catholic Christianity" split up into "catholicism" and protestantism, which then turned into thousands of sects more appropriate to the northern Europeans.

Eventually, though, the "industrial revolution" and all its institutions, especially financial institutions, rounded up the northern Europeans again in a vast slave society which is what we've been living under for the past century or so. This thing is turning, yet again, into an evil Empire run by psycho "jews" and some very inbred "european" aristocrats. It is even developing a new set of inquisitions and enforced beliefs.

The "enforced beliefs" are what homogenizes and attempts to control the individual's model of reality.

DC Sewage Flood/War on Iran

Evil, stupid, and incompetent people run the western world. If you're lucky enough to live someplace in the US that's relatively insulated from them, you should count your blessings. If you live in a place like DC, you are right in the center of it. Appropriately, there's a burst sewage pipe there gushing thousands of gallons of waste filled water into the Potomac River.

For the past several decades, the US collectively, including individuals, plowed trillions and trillions of dollars into stupid boondoggles like wars, corporate bailouts, and endless expansion of the "tech" industry, loans on super expensive cars and huge but cheap ass houses. Things like vital infrastructure were treated as an afterthought or annoyance to ignore. It seems like all this dumbness is reaching a watershed moment with a possible war on Iran.

The "war on Iran" scenario is maybe the only case where the US dollar can implode in a single day or two. How? If Iran can sink an aircraft carrier, the US empire will sink with it with a former reality TV host at its helm. Nobody knows if Iran can do that. Nobody knows if Iran will dump possibly tens of thousands of rockets on Israel as well, which would certainly be deserved.

Alternatively, the US could do nothing about Iran, even make friends and have a positive relationship with the Iranian people, the Russians, the Chinese, etc... Well, we could do that if the US government wasn't controlled by a psychopathic mafia of racial supremacist satanic "jews" that control nations through bribery and blackmail and by installing the most rancid humans in positions of power.

That sewage pipe is emblematic of his whole dumb scenario. Bazillions pouring into AI stupidity even as vital infrastructure in the national capital breaks. US national resources are used by insane jewish larpers on their insane projects--like rebuilding the temple of Solomon, which will require them to mass murder countless muslims first.

It's hard to believe we're on the edge of all this crazy shit happening. It should be open season on the entire "ruling class" in the so called "western world" if they push the world into a war. 

Adapting the World

The body and brain of a man will adapt when purposely overloaded. Muscles grow. Nervous system connections are reinforced. Bones get stronger, etc... When a person "trains" for a sport, or to achieve general fitness, these adaptations are generally beneficial. This is a general principle. 

A living being is constantly adapting. This is why a highly trained athlete can revert to a "normal" physique and aerobic capacity in only a year or two of chronic inactivity. Conversely, an untrained person can get "in good shape" in a relatively short time. Usually the untrained person makes big gains from 0 quite rapidly, but diminishing returns set in.

Much of "training" resembles play activities in children and young animals. We have a kitten in our house. He's about 4 months old now and is still extremely full of energy. He spends a lot of time running around and climbing and play stalking, or hiding, or play hunting string and toys. Children do many of the same things a puppy, kitten, bear cub, etc... do. I remember climbing trees, jumping out of trees, jumping from high places, learning to dive and roll, etc... as a child. All that activity is building up the sense of balance and neural pathways relating body position to the center of mass and balance.

Much of that activity ceases as people (or animals) transition to adulthood. Life becomes "serious". For animals, however, they engage in daily physical activity that continues training them. For many men and women though, especially in the western world, they become almost entirely sedentary. The "wealthy" can become pathologically sedentary so they rarely lift a thing heavier than a cup of coffee and spend all their time sitting or sleeping.

That pathologically sedentary life becomes part of the plan of cities and homes. Any impediment to the easiest form of getting from "A" to "B" is literally removed or leveled and covered in concrete or pavement. The reformatting of the world doesn't stop there! Oh, no, it's just getting started. 

The "leftist" takes it even further. I think Ted K does a good job of explaining this concept. The leftist wants to reformat the world so women, disabled or drug addicts or bums are "equals" to everyone else. There's a Kurt Vonnegut short story that lampoons this concept where talented and strong people are penalized with weighted vests and the like so the weak can be "equal".

The "leftist" is ultimately "religious" in that her ultimate wish/fantasy is to disconnect the ego construct from physical reality. Since this is impossible, this fantasy mutates into a plan to reformat the 3D human world into a game fit for their particular mental model of reality. I think there are several groups with a similar model of reality but with completely different reasoning and desired outcomes.  

It is interesting to step back and view the relationship of the inner world "ego" construct and the 3D reality world from the perspective of different groups. (This is the broad scheme of the movie Conan the Barbarian (1982))

The "social justice warrior" of the current day, typically a gay, or a woman, generally a physically weak person somehow got everyone else to play the equality game. The equality game is really the "disembodied ego" game. The notion of physicality itself, in the sense of adversity or hard work is stripped away. This fits in well with the "Internet world". The inner world self, which arises from symbolic representations, can ooze directly into the computerized symbol world. There are many fanciful or fictitious representations of the self in that world, for example, "filters" applied to photographs can transform a very average looking person to a very attractive person in social media. It seems like Asian people have some kind of weird addiction to that concept.

The money-people are actually really similar to the lefty people and it's not a surprise that they often align with that group. Their mental model is all about money. They're not interested in actually "doing" things, as they are in "making money" in any way they can. It's not surprising Jeffrey Epstein, for example, was aligned with a bunch of "leftists" like Noam Chomsky. Epstein, a sexual predator literal flesh trafficker who seemingly abducted women and sold them and possibly had them murdered would chat with lefty people about "equality". The money people view everything in the world as an item to buy and sell and markets to control. That concept spans many different groups.

Handicapped Psychos

Humans have been modifying the external 3D reality world to suit their inner world for many thousands of years. Europe and the Americas, for example, have been heavily modified for agriculture, to kill off predatory animals or other animals competing for natural resources. Roads, houses, sidewalks, water systems, etc... have been built. Some areas of the world are an entirely synthetic environment. Los Angeles or NYC or Tokyo are such places.

Another approach would be to adapt one's body to move through and live in such an area. This was the approach of our ancient hunter-gatherer ancestors. They built tools, clothes, shelter that was more or less in or of the natural world.

There are side effects to living in a heavily modified environment. The mind and body adapt to the changed external reality. I personally experience one basic, simple example. For many years of my life, any time I walked somewhere, it was only on a sidewalk, or around an open yard, or in a building. When we moved to our current property, I walked in woods, up and down ravines, over rocks across streams, through deep snow, etc...

I noticed my range of motion and balance had been compromised by years of easy walking. The stabilizer muscles and nervous system connections for balancing winnowed away. Also the ability to take even a modest impact from jumping down a couple of feet was gone. It would "hurt" to just hop off a log or boulder.

The relationship between the mind and body and the modified environment is recursive and ongoing. If the overall concept here is the loss of adversity ends up degrading capability, then the "ruling class" is most degraded. The type of behavior on display in the "Epstein Files" makes a lot of sense, as do inventions like cults and secret societies. They essentially built yet another even more modified and controlled environment within the overall civilization system.

This enclosure is basically maintained by well paid servants and handlers. It's basically the equivalent of a handicapped zone and self-made zoo where people who have become defective freaks can live a depraved life. A great example of that is provided by that duPont heir dude who was convicted of raping a toddler, but served no jail time.

People whose wealth protects them from every consequence are sort of slugs after a generation or two where anything that says "no" is like salt to their exposed flesh.

A Gaggle of Pedos and Blackmailed Trash Want Another War

Well, it seems apparent Israel puppets in the US government will start a full scale war with Iran maybe in the next couple of weeks. I guess we'll see if the Iran government has the means to sink an US ships with hypersonic missiles--this is a claim that's been around for a while.

This is all for the larpers in Schlomo land and the blackmailed pedos in DC and other places around the world.

Totally gross.

Remarkable Video about Jews

This is a very interesting video entitled "The Empire of Evil". It is cued up to a section covering a book written by Benjamin D'israeli, the jewish Prime Minister of England back in the mid 1800s. It discusses jewish scheming in europe, basically.

"There is no spoon"

In The Matrix one of the "breakthrough" moments for the Neo character is the realization "there is no spoon". That is, "the world" is actually his imaginings. This is a pervasive, even common idea today, "if you just believe" anything is possible.

This concept propels the world of the perpetual sales pitch in which we live. There's a non-stop selling of various ideas of conmen that run corporations, governments, or NGOs. If everyone believes a thing it will become physical truth, that is ideas can magically precipitate into reality. These conmen imagine they are "magicians" who conjure reality out of the aether.

One of the weirdest variations on that theme is some people imagine they can "change their gender" via plastic surgery and mega-doses of hormones. This weird, wishful thinking is emblematic of a desired "new deal" between the ego and 3D reality.

Many billions of dollars, apparently, have been squandered on the "transgender" fantasy while many thousands of people sit in a wheelchair wishing they could walk again because of nerve damage in the spine. Nobody puts forth the concept that walking again is only a byproduct of "wanting it" enough as a society, however, we're constantly enjoined to imagine men are really women because they have long hair, wear makeup and take hormones.

I am beginning to wonder if this desired "new deal" between the ego and 3D reality is basically a case of mass "brain damage" essentially of the so called ruling class. In some cases, the families of wealthy people have been insulated from real world feedback or consequences for several generations. They're essentially "spoiled rotten".

Solving Problems Everyone Has

My theory that the tech industry is completely saturated like railroads were in the 1890s is sound, I think. I think when the "AI bubble" pops, as it already seems to be doing, there won't be a post dot-com style reset... it'll just flatline. I feel kind of sorry for the younger dudes who "learned to code" in recent years. It will be quite a struggle compared to the greenfield days of the 90s and early 2000s. Basically the narrative of "the singularity" or "disruptive tech" or the techtopian future is flopping into the mud.

I think the immediate future is about solving practical, pragmatic problems, that is, problems everyone has; problems involving basic aspects of life, like clean drinking water, or disposing of waste, building cheap roads or houses, etc... Nobody needs another tech gadget or AI, or a humanoid robot. Everybody needs those basic things, like a cheaper road that lasts, or is very cheap and easy to repair. Everybody needs good healthy food packed with nutrients, etc...

Anyway, I think getting out of the boom/bust super financialized parts of the economy like tech is a really good idea.

Solving Problems Nobody Has

A point I return to over and over is nobody really needs the crap the economy keeps cranking out. Let's take "5G" networks. The 4G network was all built out, then within maybe a year or two, "5G" network equipment began replacing all that stuff. I was perfectly happy with my 4G service. I could watch videos, etc... on my android phone anywhere. I don't notice an iota of difference with 5G stuff even after my network provider spent billions on it.

Similar things happen with Wi-Fi. I lost track of all the Wi-Fi standards a long time ago. We have a relatively old, but very reliably Wi-Fi access point in my house. We stream videos, transfer files around, etc... with no problems. Why would I buy another one? There's new standards that offer very fast data rates, but who cares?

The push for EVs wall all synthetic. The central planners offered up all kinds of great benefits from those, but they're really not a great substitute for gasoline powered cars, and are not even close to offering a meaningful replacement for diesel powered heavy equipment.

There's a sort of maniacal compulsion to push more and more tech crap instead of perfecting and reducing the costs and impact of existing tech. In fact, that "perfecting" mindset seems to have disappeared everywhere in the world. For a while, it was the Japanese manufacturing/engineering approach, but even they seem to have largely abandoned that idea.

I guess that's all to be expected since the world seems to be governed by psychopaths and degenerates; it looks like a cult of satanist perverts basically runs the world as more and more of the epstein dirt spills out. How could anything sensible happens when evil trash set the agenda?

Olympics--the "West" is Rotten

The "Epstein Files" reveal how "the world" really works. The dumb public gets scammed and pushed around by a club of degenerates who's full time job is staying in the degenerate's club. They ingratiate themselves to each other on a regular basis in a monkey-like grooming ritual via electronic communication and by hanging out and depraved partying. The emails in the Epstein files provide a glimpse of that monkey behavior.

I have some relatives who work in "soft skill" businesses like journalism or PR. That monkey-grooming behavior goes on all the time in their workplace. They buy each other birthday presents and that kind of thing. I've been working in tech and industry since the 90s. Nobody I ever worked with knew my birthday and vice versa. I never bought a present for a boss. I didn't have to. It never crossed anybody's mind because we were actually making and doing things.

To stay in the Epstein club, senior government official monkeys would give Jeff some insider trading tips so they could go hang out on the island, I guess, get wasted and have sex with underage girls or boys mainly kidnapped from Eastern Europe. In other cases super rich people apparently ask for the most banal advice on dating and that kind of nonsense to prove they were chums.

This pattern of "club" behavior is pervasive. For example, the "official" critics of Epstein are just in different clubs, where maybe they're not total degenerates sexually, but their "authority" to comment comes from their membership and club credentials, rather than their person, individual skills or their own thoughts--in fact they really don't have any of their own thoughts. This wikipedia banner ad evidences how these creatures really think:

The members of the club who are somehow associated with the wikipedia want the quaint outsiders of "the world" to present their "cute" folklore and fancy costumes to the club, who will curate, collect and display it, and most importantly "acknowledge" it. When I used to listen to NPR years ago, I noticed that theme was common. Essentially an emissary of the western club would go out and collect "native" culture, like some guy would play a pipe flute or sing to a drum or whatever. For some reason it would be presented as significant to American dudes in Ohio or Michigan.

Anyway, the clubs have that inside/outside pattern and the membership views its thinking job as assembling info to present to the "inside" rather than an independent quest for truth. In fact, those who do have some independent skill or self-developed knowledge can get co-opted by these clubs and turned into a mascot or totem for the dumb grooming-monkey type. That seemed to be one of Epstein's main occupations. He would seek out and promote public intellectual types who were often all-too-happy to get attention.

This brings me to what the Olympics really is for. The club basically claims "ownership" of the athletes and their skill. The abilities of the athletes lends legitimacy to the club. This happens with other professional sports as well, but the Olympic games is a big monopolistic co-opting orgy. The "jet set" cliques of the world all get together and party while some highly trained athletes entertain them. The banal hubris of the club members gets legitimized by proxy.

Anyway, I think when civilization persists for a long time, it utterly rots out. The current iteration of "the west" is the british/jewish globalist/jet-set club. Everything is a corporation. It's all setup to allow Epstein type people to replace the public's equity and ownership of literally everything with money tokens and to force participation in a game that benefits people like Epstein and his "friends".

Last of the Mohicans

I recently did a cross country flight to the west coast. Along the way, I watched The Last of the Mohicans movie which covers one of the really interesting parts of US history, the French-Indian War. One of the reasons that period of history is so interesting is the frontier of the then colonies was where I live today in Ohio, which was then the so-called "Northwest Territory".

The main character in The Last of the Mohicans is played by Daniel Day Lewis. The character "Natty Bumppo" is a ranger, like Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings. The ranger character is interesting, because he is on the frontier beyond the rules of society. "Society" is always and everywhere a corrupt cesspool, so the "ranger" character is one of the very few people who can truly be a whole/good man.

In the northwest territory days of Ohio, the corrupt gangsters of France fought with the corrupt gangsters of Britain over the remote country where neither gang was very powerful. In that scenario, the ranger type character acts outside the power pyramid and its arbitrary rules and necessarily deals with the natural order of things.

In other words, the frontier is the only place men can be full men, and where there can be actual justice and natural order.

James Fenimore Cooper wrote the book in the 1820s. It's interesting the lost America was being idealized when the country wasn't even 100 years old yet.

Another weird, tangential aside is the Ford Ranger truck embodies that concept of the Ranger character. The current Ranger, though, is not really a "ranger". The nissan equivalent of the old Ford Ranger is the Frontier.  

There's No "Fix" Possible

The "Epstein Files" show how thoroughly corrupt the whole system is in explicit, weird detail. One recent detail is a lawyer lady in the Obama administration was a buddy of Epstein and got payola for fixing problems for the Rothschild family. The Rothschild family got rich by being fixer and financiers for European ruling class trash back in the 17th century. This type of relationship between "elite" people goes back thousands of years. The so-called "Norman Conquest" was an invasion of England by another similar set of psychopath trash, possibly the great-grandpappys of the modern day psychos that play the game of thrones today. They proceeded to extort and murder their way to full control of the entire population of England back in 1066.

Anyway, it's pretty obvious there is a trans-national "ruling class". That category of people has very little to do with elected governments, except large numbers of government and corporate officials live in the swamp of corruption surrounding those people, in fact, their full time occupation seems to revolve around staying in that club and trading favors with their buddies in it. The media creates an smell of legitimacy to the whole thing by interviewing them and agreeing to their formalisms, like "titles" and honorifics. Ex post facto, the worst trashbucket scum like Winston Churchill get statues and historian propagandists puffing their names up. Trump, who is basically just a mafioso, will get that type of treatment in spite of the apparent "hate" the lefty people have for him.

These people seem to be largely incompetent at their official jobs, but are very good at staying in their club. The scumbags that sold the Iraq war for example all failed their way to cushy payola jobs in banks or NGOs or corporations.

Many people wonder how to "fix" this situation. Setting aside feasibility, the "fix" would be an absolute purge of the ruling class and their families, which is probably a genetic reset of the European population--maybe eliminating psychopathy and certain behavioral characteristics. Boardrooms, prestigious universities, yachts, private airports, castles, mansions, government offices would all be empty. That's foolishness. Another crop of psychos would actually pop up in their place and the same patterns would emerge. It might only take a generation, maybe less, for it to happen.

There's not really a systemic fix, either. The problem is the population. People are way too dependent on the system and especially "money" and little trinkets the system provides. The Obama lawyer lady accepted expensive slave-made handbags from Epstein, for example, in addition to millions in payola from the Rothschild businesses, all that stuff is really just a signifier of membership in this club of jet-set trash.

Movies like 10,000 B.C. or Stargate or Conan the Barbarian depict this system as an externally imposed thing with a historical beginning in the ancient past. It's probably an emergent property of masses of people. 

Tracy Twyman Death

A few years ago the "pizzagate" conspiracy theory was making the rounds. The researcher and author Tracy Twyman and some actor who's name now escapes me (It's Isaac Kappy), began investigating it in earnest. They possibly managed to find some site used by child traffickers. Both of them ended up "dying". Twyman's death was deemed a suicide. There seemed to be a concerted attempt to smear her after she died or was murdered. She was depicted as a druggie and insane.

I listened to her on podcasts for years and read a number of books she published. For example, she wrote a great book about the origins of money called Money Grows on the Tree of Knowledge. Was she "crazy" or a drug addict? I suppose she could have been, and still be lucid enough to compile works on esoterica and speak at length on the same topics.

Isaac Kappy supposedly died after "jumping off a bridge" in Arizona after basically posting a suicide note on Instagram instead of making a video post about it.

It's quite a coincidence that she and Kappy both "died" on their quest to uncover the so called "elite pedophile rings".

Anyway, maybe someone will actually release some definitive information via the "Epstein Files". Maybe some new version of Snowden will leak the un-redacted files in their entirety.

Mentions of "Jerky" In the Epstein Documents

 The Epstein "files" are available through the department of justice web site. You can search for keywords here. I read there are many mentions of "jerky" in the files.... there are. It seems like some kind of code word. It's mentioned a bizarre number of times by several different people. People start to speculate about what these code words could mean: are the "elite" trashbucket psychopath weirdos eating human flesh? Babies?

People Who Want a Huge Government

There are lots of people who became convinced the world needs a thermostat, and think a person like Bill Gates or someone similar should control the thermostat. Coincidentally, many of the most famous spokespeople for this general concept were associates of Jeffrey Epstein. Weirdly, it seems in addition to being global control freaks, they have hobbies like child rape and watching snuff films.

Anyway, their core concept is the world "needs management (them)". They claim if left to its own devices everything would fall apart. This is the main religion of the "lefty" people. That is, the world is broken and they can fix it.

Another mass of people, the "right" wing people tend to think individual skill and merit creates small patches of order in a sea of otherwise chaos, that is, it's you versus nature.

Both of these perspectives are based on variations of the "ego" relationship with external reality, that is the inner world model of reality.

In the lefty case, the ego is basically a pulsating sensitive vagina exposed to harsh reality. Only when the world is ordered by gays and women so there aren't even mean words, or even gestures that offend the most sensitive vagina person will the world be "fixed". They tend to go on ridiculous crusades and lead societal "reforms" and push strongly for social engineering. In prior eras, for example, they banned booze. In today's era they're big on censorship and control of person to person interaction in corporations or entities like schools.

The "right" pretends to want a smaller government and less control, but they end up making the government bigger all the time and want money for all their particular causes.

Both these groups put strong emphasis on their "beliefs" and their team. If you're not on their team and share their beliefs, you're an enemy. It's pretty common today for people to imagine a weirdo or deviant person is on the other team.

Cold is a Good Teacher

Lately, when I have some time to kill, I watch bodycam videos. It's a glimpse into a world I fortunately do not have any contact with. I'd say half the videos are drunks and druggies, and half the videos are car chases. I'll get tired of watching these pretty soon, but for now, they're pretty dramatic and interesting.

They're interesting because there are obvious patterns that emerge among all the videos. For example, drunks seize on a single idea and rant about it throughout their arrest. Another example is many drunks act superior and entitled even as they slur their words, pee their pants and engage in felonies, especially if they have a "high status" job like a lawyer.

Based on these videos, I'd say the current "young people", that is the people who are currently in their late teens and early 20s, generation, I guess it's Gen Z, is pretty mind fucked. They imagine the universe revolves around their emotional state. They also imagine they're the only people in the world who aren't racist or sexist or whatever. In the videos, when they get pulled over for driving drunk, or causing an accident, or whatever, they melt down and have childish tantrums and scream at police for violating their imaginary rights not to be touched.

There are vast hoards of adults who have no idea there's an external reality that doesn't care at all about their inner world. This state of mind is depicted very well in the movie Demolition Man. I'd put all those people in the "urban/suburban housecat" category of people. There are vast bureaucratic institutions built on top of those people in the coastal megalopolis regions in the US. There are about 100 million people in just SoCal, San Francisco, and the northeast megalopolis and a large fraction of those fall into that urban housecat human category.

I think a major factor in that delusion is the environment is so controlled in those man-made regions, especially in la-la-land California. The very mild climate and paved landscape untethers an individual's ego from real world constraints, because there seem to be none. It seems like the only problems in the world are its deviations from an individuals desires and opinions.

Very cold weather, like single digit Fahrenheit, or sub 0F temperatures all day long provides a good reminder that the world goes on about its business regardless of your opinions or desires. If you want to continue to function in the cold, you have to adapt. The snow and cold forces a lot more responsibility on individuals as well.

If you want to go somewhere when there is a foot of snow in the driveway, you have to clear it away. You have to maintain your car more carefully in harsh weather, take care of pets, wear the right clothes, etc... If you want to exercise, you have to be very highly motivated. The list goes on and on. There's a strong correlation between cold and IQ all around the world for fairly obvious reasons. There's also a higher proportion of hunter-gatherer DNA further from the equator, at least in Europe.

The human housecat population will re-arrange every institution to revolve around their fantasy world and ideological religious predilections. The places those people live will descend into absolute chaos as a result.

The AI Business Model is Very Stupid

The AI business model was this: a few companies buy up all the GPUs from NVIDIA, pop them in data centers, then every other company pays them lots of money to use GPUs to run AI models. That's one of the reasons the power constraints don't really matter much. In the mind of the corporate scum at Oracle, Microsoft, OpenAI, etc... since they'd have all the GPUs, and AI is so super necessary, it might even work out better if data center construction was halted or limited because they could just charge more for a thing that makes PDFs about women's history month or whatever.

The hype machine was supposed to get a bunch of corporate dummies to start thinking "AI" was a necessary ingredient to doing the useless stuff people do at work all day. It didn't really work for coding tasks. It seems that it is mainly for HR department emails.

I think the theory that "tech" is utterly saturated and in negative ROI mode is a good one. These mega projects seem pretty doomed. I can see the feds bailing these trash companies out--that will be even more evidence of a failed system.

The future of tech is probably niche, real value added applications. The concept of moving all "compute" into "data centers" is fucktarded drivel. It's the dream of these monopolist psychos. That niche, real value added business is going to be harder and harder to find, especially for giant corporations. Small companies of engineers can do it.

Waymo Car Hits Child in School Zone

The tech industry is a vast pile of garbage. Good news this morning is Oracle is crashing so maybe the AI bubble is popping. I will make my exit from tech pretty soon. Yay!

Bill Gates and Epstein

More of the "Epstein Files" were released a couple of days ago, I guess. There are some emails between Bill Gates and Epstein that are pretty weird and gross. Supposedly Bill Gates contracted an STD from a Russian girl prostitute then slipped his wife some antibiotics. There's no way to really now if it's true or is just a fabrication.

To me it seemed plausible. Gates and Epstein had some strange relationship over years.

I think there's basically a bunch of cults/mafias that control governments and big institutions. The made men in the cult are all compromised. A great example of that was Denny Hastert, who was speaker of the house in the 90s. He was a child molester, then was promoted to be in congress the the speaker of the house. That implies a large contingent of the republican congress people at the time were similarly controlled.

I think some members of these cults are reluctant and some are enthusiastic participants in it. The weird reports of activities at the "Bohemian Grove" reported over the years are some more info that's spilled out into public over the years.

How to Do Things

Over the past 25-30 years, I've been working "in tech" on various projects at different companies. Several of the companies failed. I could tell, within a matter of weeks of working at these places, that the companies were doomed. My assessments were 100% right over time. I am not really sure off the top  of my head what characteristics of the doomed companies tipped me off.

An individual who knows what he is doing acts a certain way. An individual who doesn't have a clue acts a different way. In the corporate or political context, it involves lying and telling stories and gaslighting people that they aren't working hard enough or whatever. The crux of the problem at the failed companies was they tried to do "too much", that is, they embarked on a big project without really knowing the problems involved. It's like building a house from the roof down.

When people don't know what they're doing that approach seems plausible, because they know certain aspects of the structure of the problem and imagine they can fill in the gaps later because they can hire an expert, or whatever. That doesn't work for fairly obvious reasons.

I briefly worked as a contractor at a company that made radioactive source screening equipment for scrap smelters. That company went from a back of the envelope concept to a full scale system--that didn't work. I got hired "to help out". I started to delve into the code to try to understand it, and started putting together some models of systems that might work but I was let go, because the people running the project thought it only had cosmetic problems and didn't want a mere contractor to work on their "design". A few months later they shut the project down and the company is gone.

Another company I worked at outsourced their core intellectual property and then stupidly agreed to onerous licensing terms. That decision was inexplicable and obvious. Rather than bring the core technology in-house, they hired another contractor to implement the motion controller. At the time, in the late 1990s, there was actually published open-source software for a motion controller system from NIST. The task to make that work was straightforward. A few people, including me, argued to do that. The company declined, then went out of business a few years later.

When I do my own tech projects, I find it's fairly common to run into a gap in my expertise and have to pause. For example, I implemented some drone mapping software a few years ago. It relied on a photographic pattern matching technique that works in open areas, but fails when there are trees. I worked on several algorithms that attempted to work around that issue, but they all failed. In recent years, people came up with brute force algorithms that might potentially work, plus people developed some alternative sensors that work, but they're too expensive for me to try.

Anyway, as an individual, I can keep iterating on projects, or trying things that might have a niche application. Tech companies could do that too, but when they rely on investor money, ironically, they get pushed onto a nonsensical path more often than not. That is, they have to make unrealistic promises and follow that roof-down model. The investors know even less about what they're doing than the managers of these companies. For them it's just a bet that will pay off or not. They rely on a theory that a 1/10 success rate will make up for losses. All that waste chewed up the purchasing power of the dollar.

 

It's pretty fatiguing to be involved with projects that have no chance of success because there's no organic way for engineers to decide what to do. When there's key missing parts, all the work is arbitrary lists of nonsense made by dumb asses.

Anyway, the way to do things is obvious and natural. Get the basics working, delve into the aspects of a project that aren't understood to determine if something is really feasible. All that effort might take a year with key people prototyping the difficult aspects of a problem. At that point, the potential expenses to develop some new tech gizmo or system would actually be known reasonably well.

Child Mutilator Doctor and Psychologist Sued

I'm not sure why, or exactly when the psycho lefty people started pushing the pronoun and gender "transition" insanity. Maybe it was 5 years ago or so. Anyway, when it was going on, I wondered how long it would take for a mangled child to sue their "doctors" and win. A case just happened where a mutilated child sued her psychologist and the doctor that chopped her tits off.

Here's a link

It's really bizarre they ever got this nonsense to get any kind of momentum. The ruling class lefty people in the US are trash.

Failure is Better

When I was a little kid, I wasn't really interested in sports like baseball or football, but I ended up playing a few years of T-ball and little league, because that's what boys did. The first time, and the first pitch I was at bat in little league, where there was actually a pitcher, I smashed the ball into the outfield. It was total blind luck though. After that, I barely ever got on base. I had no idea how to hit a baseball. Since I was a little kid with no experience in anything, maybe 7 years old, I just blindly hacked at the ball. I didn't try to break down the steps or learn any hand-eye coordination. Apparently none of the coaches were great at instructing kids, etc... Anyway, I eventually dropped out of baseball and other team sports.

Maybe by the time I was 13 or 14 I realized I could learn things myself, so to get good at something, all it took was interest. One of my middle school teachers explained the basic steps of juggling for example, and importantly said practice was the main ingredient. I spent a few evenings on it. I still remember the moment when I went from not being able to juggle to juggling 3 balls. Then I realized I could learn and was actually pretty smart, and went on from there.

It is very bad to "succeed" by luck, at least from the point of view of gaining skill and knowledge. There's less than zero information in luck. Luck turns into a self-aggrandizing fantasy for many people. The stock market repeatedly does that to millions of people. The mechanism for it is quite clear. Luck happens. A person has an archetypal model of a "successful investor" like Warren Buffet. They believe they're Warren Buffet. They boldly gamble in the stonk market casino, then lose all their money. They don't understand what "financiers" actually do--they're basically criminals.

The one time lucky Joe Schmoe stonk gambler just replays fantasy movies in their mind's eye about being rich. Maybe some of them seize on "charts" or some similar nonsense and manage to stretch the gambling out for many years instead of losing everything in mere weeks or months.

A lot of the tech industry is built around the concept of "being the next google", so investors will throw millions or billions at some company in the hopes they can buy a whole new market. If some company can grow, even if it's really an implausible business and has no chance of making a profit, at some point it can go public and with some creative accounting and PR, can unload shares on the public and the ground floor investors can chalk up a win. That model is really stupid and is flailing around and failing right now. It was the model of the money printing era of 2000 through a couple of years ago.

Anyway, the lesson I personally learned from doing projects for companies and myself for years and years is "don't do". Almost every endeavor is pretty stupid and a waste of time and effort. When there's an obvious problem to solve that many people need, sure, go ahead and give it a shot. Then if you have a good, efficacious solution, you might "win". If you're trying to do something that's unclear and very complicated, or is a hodgepodge of ideas, no chance. You're wasting your life energy on trash.

There's a much more practical and pragmatic model for the would be engineer or inventor or problem solver. Build your thing--it's pretty cheap to do it these days. Put it on youtube. See what happens. You might even end up collaborating with people on it. You can basically cut out all the corporate overhead people and middlemen people and finance people that way. If you build a better mousetrap, people will actually buy it.

I think "the system" and all its overhead and expenses that will potentially lead to personal riches, just really isn't worth it. We all basically expend our whole lives hoping we can "get rich". The whole system exists to protect a handful of randos who actually do. It's self-defeating dumb-fuck behavior.

Tech Company Collusion?

 Apparently the "AI" bubble soaked up every available hardware component, including GPUs, memory, FPGAs. The company I work for probably won't be able to build new hardware this year. To me it seems likely that the big tech companies, like Microsoft and Amazon just bought all the hardware inventory to force people to use their trash cloud services. They apparently want a "hardware as a service" model---that can't work.

Will the government intervene and launch a RICO case against them? Very unlikely.

It seems like a case of terminal malinvestment.

In prior eras, the tech companies colluded against their workforce to keep wages low.

The Pyramid People Part 2

One of the things that got me thinking about "the pyramid people" is the state of Washington legislature is debating laws that will prevent local jurisdictions from cleaning up homeless camps. It's like they want to compete with other west coast cities to attract crackheads. Wild. I thought that was the ultimate left wing retard move.

I traveled to LA several times over the past couple of years. When I'm there, I stay in a hotel in a "nice" part of that town, then walk to the office about 1 mile away. I like to try to get some exercise while I'm there and that little walk sort of counts. There's about 80,000 homeless, supposedly in LA county. There are several along that walk. Sometimes there are screaming tweakers. Sometimes there's human waste on the sidewalk. Sometimes there are needles laying around. People in etremis are pretty gross. I'm not sure why anyone would encourage that. It's completely demented.

Normal people live in that neighborhood in small, packed together homes that cost $1M. They walk their dogs in the morning, etc... It would be really annoying to constantly deal with the homeless people on top of the traffic, concrete everywhere, etc... All for "nice weather"? Fuck that.

I probably spent almost two months solid now in LA, walking along that sidewalk and so far I saw two birds. One hummingbird on some flowery shrub plant and a raven, I think. That's it. I saw at least 20 homeless people along those sidewalks.

The dystopian sci fi movies of the 80s and early 90s envisioned a future corporate dystopia... In many cases it was a "leftist" critique. Holywood's lefty often jewish writers and directors thought the corporate dystopia of the 2000s would be dominated by "right wing" WASPy white dudes. Nope: Jews, gays, women, not-white people are currently running the dystopia corporate empire thingy. The pyramid system seems very lefty oriented at the moment. I think it just adapts to conditions, though. The white majority countries have a lot of wealth to steal, so they divide and conquer.

The divide and conquer scenario, though, seems to create total dysfunction and overall "wealth" destruction rather than extraction, as far as wealth equates to order and productivity. For example, LA is so inept and corrupt that very few homes in the Palisades have been rebuilt after the fires a year ago. It doesn't seem likely they'll rebuild. The fire department chief was a lesbian--I think that was her main qualification--but was otherwise inept. She was inept or corrupt, so many homes burned down.

LA completely flipped out over COVID, too. I think that was a good litmus test for how many dopes live in an area or work someplace or run some entity. That whole thing was the ultimate Pyramid power play. The guy who is the CEO of Pfizer worked at a company that made drugs for animals and developed a strategy to force mass vaccination of horses in Australia that was identical to the one used on dumb fuck people all over the world. 

Anyway, flaky dopes run institutions in these pyramid people enclaves where religious affiliation, essentially, is more important than skills. That permeates the entirety of the city. During the reformation in Europe, people sorted into protestant and catholic states as time went by. The same thing is apparently happening in the US. The pyramid religion: gayness+woman ideas is slowly taking over megolopolis regions in the US. Their main thing is "belief" in gayness instead of competency.

Now throw in a huge major disaster in LA--the "big one" earthquake... or in Washington state, a Tsunami. In LA, they'll have seminars on pronouns as the city burns to the ground, and academics will talk about competency being a "white privilege" thing or whatever. Loss of some major infrastructure in LA will render regions of that county uninhabitable.

Anyway, it's probably a good time for the non-pyramid regions of the US to attract competent people from the coastal regions in some low key way... if they attract too many people all at once, it tends to favor the pyramid. The state of Tennessee for example, will probably turn into Pyramid territory because Nashville is growing so rapidly. Eventually a bunch of lefty retards will run the government there.

The Pyramid People

This week, there was a big snow storm and cold temperatures across much of the US. In my area, we have maybe 24"-36" accumulated snow on the ground in spots. A bunch of "alerts" kept popping off on my phone with doom porn about snow and cold. It's weird how people have devolved into a panic/effeminate norm in just recent years of just my life. This kind of storm is a pretty common event in Northeast Ohio.

Many people were miffed that some local Sheriffs didn't declare a "snow emergency". In a "snow emergency" you can't even go on the road without getting a traffic citation, so you couldn't go to the grocery store or whatever. The reasoning of the Sheriffs is "we live in a snowy area." The roads were fine really. I'm glad I didn't have to commute in this mess, but I did normal errands through the snowy days. It's really not a big deal.

I think that split between the more practical, pragmatic people and the pyramid people will keep growing. The pyramid zones will be bad places to live.

In northeast Ohio, the winter of 2025-26 has been pretty cold and snowy so far. This winter is a break in a 10-15 year pattern of milder winter temperatures which more panic mongers attributed to "global warmaids". People don't know shit but claim perfect knowledge and foresight about almost any topic.

The long term winter snowfall average is about 110 inches per year, however, it generally doesn't accumulate on the ground the whole winter. The normal pattern is snow accumulates for maybe a couple of weeks starting in late December, then warmer weather and rain melts it, then it snows and accumulates again, then melts a couple more times through January, February, and March. The pattern of snow accumulation and melting varies quite a bit from year to year and also seems to wobble up and down in a decades or maybe centuries long cycle.

Winters from maybe 2010 until the early 2020s were generally milder than winters I grew up with in the 1970s through the early 2000s. I cross country ski, specifically go "skate skiing" in the winter as an alternative to road cycling or mountain biking. It requires well groomed trails--a park employee on a snowmobile drags a roller around to pack the snow, then uses other various implements to keep the trail in nice shape. Good ski conditions require about 18" of snowfall, very cold temperatures, and occasional new snow. A couple of warm days, just in the mid 30s, will destroy the trail. In the 90s through the early 2000s, I would be able to ski many times through a winter. Over these mild winter years, I didn't bother dragging the skis out of storage and waxing them, etc... I probably only went a couple of times over 2020-2024.

Anyway, I'm starting to see "the pyramid people" are almost entirely useless. Their life is all about opinions of scammers and partaking in scammer plans.
