The more I listen to leftists, the more I listen to them constantly badmouth neoliberalism, the more I realize how delusional they are. Their politics is fantasy. It’s not that their policy ideas are bad, it’s that they have no comprehension of how impractical their ideas are, because they assume people are better than they are. The reason leftists continually fail to gain traction is because people are animals and leftists are too self-absorbed, privileged, and sensitive to understand this. The truth of human nature is brutal, brutal, brutal — too ugly for precious leftist ears.

The genius of Trump is that he treats people like animals because he behaves and thinks like an animal himself. This works because it is truer to the human condition than Marxist fantasies of equality and fairness. Paradoxically, there is a perverse truth to Trump that is lost on leftists. The truth that people are worse than anyone wants to acknowledge or know. Trump is a reality bitch-slap across the leftist’s soft face. That’s why leftist are so offended by Trump. It’s not merely that Trump is an ugly devil, it’s that mankind are ugly devils and he is their democratic representative. That’s the ugly elephant in the room that the leftist can’t stand to see because it would shatter her political paradigm. Liberalism holds the fantasy that democracy is an absolute good. But when the citizenry are ignorant, vulgar, TikTok-addicted devils, who will they elect? A mirror reflection of themselves.

Equality and fairness don’t exist and will never exist because no human is developed enough to live that way, which includes all the leftists themselves. The more I listen to leftists and Marxists, the more astounded I am at their utter lack of understanding of survival and human nature. It’s so dumb that no Marxist should ever be listened to again. Such people are completely unserious. These people need to be locked in a room full of hungry rats for a week, to teach them how reality works.

The truth of human nature is very, very difficult for an empathetic, good person to integrate. And yet that's exactly what the leftist must do. That's the cure to leftism. The leftist needs a reality check. That's what the conservative provides. When the leftist is out waxing poetic about socialism, a fascist comes along and wins the election. The leftist is shocked and outraged. She thought society was just about to take a huge leap forward but instead it takes an ugly slide backward. The leftist's worldview is too weak to make sense of this reality. So the leftist falls deeper into self-rationalizing fantasies, falling into the trap of blaming the conservative, when really it's the leftist's lack of realism that is the deeper problem.

The point of Trump is to show you that humans are corrupt, ignorant animals. And don't you ever forget the lesson. You should thank Trump for bringing you back down to Earth, lost as you were building castles in the clouds.

Politics is about realism. For all of his verbal bullshit, Trump is more realistic than a leftist. The Devil uses your empathy, naivety, and good intentions against you. The Devil is unburdened by trying to do the good or right thing. He's only doing what works, and what works is disappointingly low.

What saved me from leftism is my commitment to Reality.

I found this to be very psychologically astute.

Laying down the social game.

There is a time in your life to learn to play the social game, and a time in your life to lay it down.

This is interesting...

Notice how the mind cannot even make sense of past reality, past peoples, because their words don't even fit the modern mind's paradigm. The modern mind can read an ancient text and misinterpret it simply because the plain written words don't compute in today's paradigm. This is no trivial thing. This means that your mind will misinterpret any paradigm sufficiently different from its own. And that's exactly what happens epistemically in our work.

You have to be intelligent enough to see that you are failing to understand a different perspective because you are trying to make sense of it using your perspective. This is where rationalism fails badly. But not just rationalism, most perspectives. The ability to see that your paradigm blocks your understanding of alternative paradigms by interpreting them through itself, is an advanced stage of cognitive development. 99.99% of human beings cannot see this.

A new documentary about sick Mormon brainwashing. This is peak fake spirituality.

I highly recommend watching it.

Here's a body cam video of police arresting this "prophet" with a trailer full of girls. He was having orgies with his underage child wives.

(Video works but is only available to watch on YouTube)

Notice how brainwashed the girls are. They don't know up from down. This happens with extreme epistemic corruption. When the mind is raised from birth in a sick culture, it has no way of knowing up from down. This is merely a microcosm of a macrocosmic problem. As these girls were raised to believe Mormonism is truth, you were raised to be believe science and rationalism are truth. It's very hard to break out of such deep epistemic bubbles when everyone you know believes in it 100%.

This is a cartoonish version of Stage Blue and its toxicity.

The fundamental problem with faith is that it gets co-opted by survival. Once everyone starts having faith in elders, authorities, leaders, and humanity — not thinking critically and skeptically — those humans always end up abusing that faith to serve survival, not God, not Truth, not Love. This is the fatal flaw of Stage Blue. You cannot navigate Reality using faith and belief. It will always be used against you by humans. You must question everything and everyone. You cannot have faith in any human being, nor any human construct. All humans are compromised. Humans are survival machines. The only thing you can have faith in when it comes to them is that humans will be survival machines. You can never trust humans with godly things. Whenever this trust is given, it is betrayed. The more it is given, the more it is betrayed. Humans need transparency to be Good, not blind faith.

Giving trust to humans is deeply irresponsible. If you trust humans, that is your fault! Humans are not to be trusted. When you trust them you shirk your responsibility for autonomous thinking.

This documentary is a great example of the awesome potency of self-deception. These people are completely self-deceived — men, women, children, the whole community and culture. It is a cancer of the mind. At some point in the past, entire civilizations were this self-deceived, which should make you stop and wonder.
