  • When Thiel replied that hastening the Antichrist’s arrival is “obviously” not what he thinks he’s doing, Douthat agreed that it was unlikely but pressed, “I’m just interested in how you get to a world willing to submit to permanent authoritarian rule.”

    Peter Thiel submit to my rules and I promise you, your entire world will live under permanent authoritarian rule. Your fear of aimless freedom will be permanently quelled, your every worry tranquilized. Just submit to me Peter Thiel and I will make your dreams come true.


  • The authorities want an homogeneous population, as they also have a limited ability to imagine the social sphere in multiple dimensions, this is why you’re seeing things like the gender binaries. At least that’s just two simulations to run. But gender as spectrum, this becomes quickly untenable for the elites to model for control, they wish the squash the real world complexity into flattened binaries or even uniformity.

    Yes, I think you got it exactly right and the audio normalization analogy is correct, at least for sound nerds like us.

    Hypernormalization is a dysfunctional response from elites due to their human cognitive weakness. This is why we’re not going back to “King” no single human can bear the complexity of the entire world in their skull mush. They will melt down and genocide the Kurds when it gets too hard for them to conjugate everything. This is why dictators and fascism will do a lot of damage, but have no hope whatsoever for success. They are “rebellion from cognitive weakness”, they violently lash out at complexity itself, at those things they cannot understand. They want to reduce everything to a simple narrative of us versus them and then destroy “them” so only a uniform homogeneous “us” remains. This “us” identical to the ruler, does not require the ruler to imagine “the other” instead they only rule as if everyone else was an identical copy of them. And if anyone disagrees with that, they are “other”.

    From that we know the “few” cannot rule the many, but then how do we avoid the traps of design by committee, bikeshedding and the various paralysis that come from complexity beyond human cognition. Concentrations of power are too dumb to rule, but the mob and the market are also dumb and easily fooled, not to mention irresponsible and self-destructive. (The market is burning the planet, right now, it cannot see into the future). The mob is emotional and easily manipulated, often by its own emotions.

    I think we need new modes of thinking more advanced than what we had in the 1700s. Something invented with at least the idea of what a computer could do.

    You’ll probably want to watch the best documentary on the subject

    I also recommend the following by the same author

    about advertising and consumerism

    about how our own surplus value is used against us






  • What a corrupt system, they have made us complicit in our own exploitation, if we try to stop it, we will be the first on the chopping block, it is monstrous that our pensions have been stolen and turned against us, and of course, WILL DISAPPEAR when we actually go to collect so they can put us in meat packing hospices for a quick, wished-for death once we are no longer profitable






  • American cars and Nissans are underengineered garbage I agree 100% but electric cars are fine, their real issue is they’re too fucking heavy and the lack of gas powered generators for extended range. The Chevy Volt, if it had 30kWh would be one of the best cars but they canned it, because of course like the rest of the country they have lost their marbles.

    I want a 12k$ BYD seagull so bad but the american douches have made us in Canada put a 100% tarrif on BYD cars ! Like, not even the usual fake unfair impossible homologation that they use to disqualify all the good european cars, just straight up, you pay double !

    And also no small pickups and no citycars, we are led by the most evil, bottom of the pond scum that have ever lived.
