Here's a philosopher of science speaking pure stupidity:

This is why I am so harsh on academics, philosophers, and scientists. This is also what I mean when I say science is conformity. All he's doing here is parroting ideas he heard in university.

Metaphysics isn't about thinking. It's about Consciousness and deconstructing the human ego-mind.

Scientists don't understand what anything is. And they think that's how it should be. Lol

More machine than man. But this is what it takes to be productive. Productivity is about being highly utilitarian and consistent. This is why many highly successful people have shallow minds and low morality. Because they are machines. It's just not part of the equation. Success isn't fancy or flashy, it's slow, methodical, consistent focus on the practical basics — which few are disciplined or serious enough to do.

Rockefeller is also a prime example of Stage Blue. The power of Stage Blue. The religious work ethic of Stage Blue can build empires.

This is eye-opening. It's important to understand just how vile and soul-crushing the industrial work was in the late 1800s. What a horrible era in human history. A mechanical Hell.

Watch this to appreciate the brutality it takes to win a revolution.

This is why soft, intellectual leftists and good people cannot win revolutions. A revolution is such a precarious survival pressure-cooker that it only succeeds by the skin of its teeth, only by any means necessary. Revolution is a mad scramble to see who can kill whom first. This means all notions of goodness, fairness, democracy, equality, intellectual purity, or integrity fly out the window. The only reason Lenin's revolution worked is because Lenin and Trotsky were willing to do anything, no matter how heinous, to win. Lenin would have shot his own mother if it helped him win. But that's exactly not the kind of person who will give you the equality and freedom you are revolting for.

The reality of politics is that you need to be a murderer to win, because if you aren't, a murder will murder you and crown himself king. People don't obey willingly. People don't do what needs to be done willingly. They do it when you put a gun to their head. In order to win and to rule effectively you need to be comfortable with putting guns to people's heads. But once you are comfortable with that, democracy, equality, and fairness are dead.

Politics is a contest of the most selfish for the top spot. Any soft or selfless candidates get slaughtered. This is why politics is so disgusting. Truly the filthiest of human enterprises. Politics is pure, hyper-concentrated, tripled-distilled survival. If survival does not disgust you yet, please, study more politics.

It will. It will.

By the way, what happened to Trotsky in the end?

What sown, was reaped.

This couple has been living from a sailboat and sailing the world for 10 years. It's an interesting alternative lifestyle.

Maybe I should just buy a sail boat and live in the sea? Hmmmm.... Sounds better than my current life.

This is what corruption looks like.

Real corruption just looks like friendliness. Friendliness with the Devil. To be the Devil's laughing buddy. To have beers with the Devil. To go to football games with the Devil. To have your children play with the Devil's children. That's real corruption, not conspiracy theories. Real corruption is when you benefit so much from the status quo that you become incapable of questioning it.

Corruption is an unwillingness to question the Devil, to look the other way. All the Devil needs you to do is look the other way while he raids the hen house.

Corruption is not taking bags of money under the table in Washington DC from pedophile elites. Corruption is when you betray what is right and true in order to fit in with your wealthy and famous friends. That's how corruption really works. It works when wealthy, famous, and powerful people all befriend each other and defend each other against the other 99% from whom they extract their wealth, fame, and power. Corruption is a rationalization and normalization of exploitation, abuse, and theft.

All the conspiracy theorizing is just noise, the real way power works is that when the conspiracy theorist becomes rich and famous and gets rich and famous friends, he uses his conspiracy brain and power to defend himself and his friends. And thus society remains enslaved and broken. Joe Rogan is too agreeable and sociable to speak truth to power. If truth was actually being spoken, none of these billionaires would dare to appear on his show. They appear there because they know that truth will not be spoken to power. Truth should terrify billionaires because they are all full of shit. If you are friendly with a billionaire, that's how you know you aren't telling them the truth, because you value the friendship over the truth, because if you told them the truth they would no longer be your friend. Billionaires surround themselves with yes-men, which is why being a billionaire is so unhealthy and corrupt.

In order to be a good person, you cannot befriend wealth, status, power, and fame. Wealth, status, power, and fame is always corrupt, it is always based in untruth. The cost of being good is turning your back on that social class. You cannot befriend the top 0.01% and be good. There is no world in which that can work. This is why being good is so difficult and rare. Who is going to say no to wealth, status, power, fame, sex, luxury, celebrity friends, and the fun & easy life? Most people, once they make it to the top, will just rationalize it to themselves and forget anything is wrong — as this example beautifully illustrates. And most of Rogan's conspiracy-brained audience would do exactly as he did if given $100 million. Which is why conspiracy theories are stupid. The lesson here is this: Conspiracy theorists don't actually challenge power. How could they? They never cared about truth.

To be good you have stop doing unconscious survival. Conspiracy theories are unconscious survival. So conspiracy theorists cannot be good.
