Don’t help them
Activists always have a tendency to overshoot. When rulers manipulate activists, they push hard to force the overshoot. This is well known in political and cultural and religious activism. Life always applies NEGATIVE FEEDBACK to minimize overshoots. Monsters always apply POSITIVE FEEDBACK to maximize overshoots until the system is damaged. Damaging the system is the…

Jeffrey gets Booker T
Jeffery Tucker of Brownstone is a complicated figure. He has some Libertarian genes that occasionally pop out, possibly without full intentions. His deep anger at the SHIT we endured drives him to PROTEST! Be like MLK! Be like Assange! Get imprisoned and assassinated so you can’t influence anyone at all! He’s moving quickly toward the…

Occasionally the other way worked.
Reprint from 2017, tied to today’s theme. Later I realized that Desistance, trying to starve or bore the monsters, works far better than fighting them. Edited to include the better understanding. Nevertheless, the Harding breakup of Wilson’s monstrosities was a real-life example of excising the monster instead of starving it. So both paths can be…

Effective Alltruthism
Demons can be honest now because they own everything. Bill Maher says cheerfully that abortion is murder from a legal perspective, but murder is needed because there are 8 billion people in the world. Psychopaths must be the sole occupant of the universe. All other living things are Negative Externalities to a demon. Maher states…

Good news!
Pointed by Denyse as usual, Gizmodo writes about Satan Altman’s decreasing power. The VCs who formerly worshipped him are getting tired of his psychopathic monstrosity. = = = = = START GIZMODO: “He’s a megalomaniac,” said another. “For the same reason I don’t trust Elon, I just don’t trust somebody whose aspirations are so clearly…

If you have to verify…
Dembski writes about his experience with LLM crap. He claims that AI is a “useful assistant”, which means he’s already addicted to the crap. He admits that it’s only useful if you take the time to verify all of its claims and citations, most of which are fantasy. Well then, why bother? The old-fashioned secretary…

YAPOL
Yet Another Pointless Open Letter. At Brownstone, a group of scientists in India are playing the powerless and inconsequential game as usual. The letter cites in detail how there was little or no evidence to favor the holocaust. THAT IS NOT THE POINT. EVERY ONE OF THE “MEASURES” WAS A CAREFULLY TESTED TECHNIQUE KNOWN TO…

Why in the fuck?
The Trump gang’s email spam is concentrating on keeping the Trump Tower in the gang. Latest email is titled “Maniacs want to seize Trump Tower.” WHY IN THE HOLY FUCK WOULD I WANT TO PROTECT THE MANIAC WHO STRANGLED AND IMPRISONED THE ENTIRE COUNTRY FOR TWO YEARS? If LESSER maniacs want to seize the property…

Natural desistance?
Random thought triggered by Desistance, probably wrong. I wonder if we’re seeing a sort of natural Desistance from government. This year MANY young and competent and less partisan people are leaving Congress and leaving the federal bureaucracy. Each of them has expressed disgust and weariness with the utterly pointless institution. This will purify the monstrosity.…

Rererereprint on experts
Closely tied to previous two items. I’ve reprinted this list many times in various contexts with various additions. Feels like a good time to reprint it again, connecting it to my recent language-based comparison of facts vs commands and the recent UFO frenzy. This version of the list is from 2017, with a good discussion…

Familiar territory
This Bloomberg podcast is running in deeply familiar territory, discussing the economics of oil storage and movement. Mentions one surprising fact: North American oil production hit an all-time record last year. Worldwide coal production also hit an all-time high last year, but very little of it was in USA. Conclusion: The enviros aren’t really trying…

Simple answer
I stopped tracking the “climate” fight in 2018 after I decided that most advocates on the side of truth are not really defending truth, just making money. Now I try to determine the truth for myself, and try to live according to the truth, and that’s all. I didn’t even know about the Mann vs…

What desistance means
Desistance means depriving the system of your talents and resources. It does NOT mean getting into the system to obstruct things. Internal obstruction is a game that accomplishes less than nothing. I figured this out a LONG time ago when some of my semi-hippie friends joined the military to “reform the system from inside”. I…

Buckle down and stay lazy!
I’m noticing a common theme in a lot of writers this week, which looks orchestrated. Let’s buckle down and get back to work! Let’s keep the wheels turning at full speed! Start families, have babies! NO. This is what the Tyrants want. They want everyone cheerfully working together to achieve total destruction. Empires don’t collapse…

Honest goal
I’m tired of supporting activists who claim to be “holding power accountable” or “speaking truth to power” or “changing the world”. Machiavelli tells us that none of those events ever happen. Until now, Jeffrey Tucker’s Brownstone outfit was claiming to cause change in the circles of power, but never showing any real change. Now Jeffrey…
