Even repair is now theft.

All forms of corporate theft will flourish under a Trump administration. This is why right-wing populism will never succeed. Because it cannot solve these problems that everyday people face. Right-wing populism is peak self-deception. The very people who support Trump will be exploited and abused by the corporate powers that run amok in his administration. Because right-wing populism is just neoliberalism minus any checks and balances. Trump supporters are so blinded by vibes and culture war issues that they are incapable of seeing that Trumpism is neoliberalism, and neoliberalism is at the core of what's wrong with American politics, because neoliberalism ensures that wealth inequality worsens and the middle class is destroyed as corporations leech all the profits for themselves. People vote for Trump thinking he is some solution to corporate rule, but he will only increase the power corporations have over your life. The right-wing poses no threat to corporate power. Only progressive politics offers a solution there. Which is why progressive politics is the future. With right-wing politics all you will get is more corporate power, wealth inequality, and oligarchy. And that will corrupt the system even further, as they use those stolen profits to buy more elections and politicians. Not only will Trump not do nothing to stop it, he will accelerate it. Which is why oligarchs and corporations are eager to side with Trump.

Trump is a Trojan horse for neoliberalism. That's what Trump supporters do not understand because they are too distracted with vibes.

One of the most important function of government is robust anti-trust enforcement. Trump will do exactly the opposite. The Biden administration has done some of the most robust anti-trust enforcement in two generations. Now all of that comes to an end. This is what right-wing populism really means, once you cut through all the culture war noise. But the average voter is so ignorant of this, so distracted by culture war noise, that they have no idea.

The only reason the right-wing wins elections is because people are deliberately misinformed about how government, economics, and morality really works. And the reason they are misinformed is because it benefits the rich and powerful. Money and power is not made by creating a more just and moral society, it is made by undermining justice and morality. Right-wingers do not understand what morality is, brainwashed as they are by religion, which is corrupted by the Devil. Which is why you see people like Jordan Peterson twist religion into a vehicle for injustice, immorality, corruption, corporate power, and authoritarianism. Religion is used to enslave the mind to serve the survival of the rich and powerful.

Now you start to see the awesome power of self-deception. Now you see how my talk of personal self-deception connects up with the world of politics and society at large, and how significant it is. And why I speak not only about personal development and philosophy, but also politics. Because all these things are interconnected.

It may seem like I am overly political for a self-help or spiritual teacher. But I'm not political. I'm just teaching about self-deception. It just so happens that self-deception has many tentacles and unforeseen down-stream consequences, and my work is grounded in profound holism. We don't just look at one or two domains in this work, we look at everything needed to make sense of reality. You can't make sense of reality without understanding what's really going on with society, in which all of your personal development work is embedded. Self-deception is both an individual and a collective force. This is fundamental. You must be recognize, confront, and integrate the sickness of human civilization. That is the real work.

One of my functions is to help you see all the ways in which human civilization is sick. This is one of the things that comes with a serious commitment to truth.

I hope you appreciate how profoundly all this fits together.

I can show you how all of society really works. But beware, you will be so disgusted once you see it. Which is why almost nobody sees it. But the truth is that mankind is profoundly sick. The reason conservatives don't see it is because it hurts too much. And since conservatives are more attached to society as-it-is than leftists, it hurts them more. If you understood in one fell swoop how sick mankind is, you would have an existential crisis. People like Jordan Peterson exist to keep you asleep to this truth. That is literally their job. That's why they get paid tens of millions of dollars and I don't. Because I do not serve the sick system. And the reason I don't is because my loyalty is to truth, not to mankind. One of my functions is to serve as a lighthouse to those who wish to pull themselves up out of the quagmire that is human civilization. In order to serve that function I have to take extra precautions to make sure that my mind is not corrupted by human kind. Because any corruption within my mind will mislead you. Assuming this responsibility is what it means to be developed.

Somewhere along the way my life purpose transformed into being a lighthouse of truth for mankind. This is why I speak so much about corruption.

Elon Musk has completely perverted Twitter/X. That's what happens when you have a narcissistic megalomaniac with unilateral control over a media platform. This is what abuse of power looks like.

If you are a Christian, how do you know that the Devil didn’t write the Bible? Because the Bible says so? But if the Devil wrote it then anything the Bible says is a lie. So you don’t actually know. You can’t know. And that you don’t know that you can’t know, is the corruption. All of Christianity could be a plot by the Devil to ensnare the mind of man. But no Christian understands this.

See, this is what I mean when I say that people do not think. If you were truly thinking, if you cared about understanding reality, you would take what I said here very seriously. But no Christian does. Because Christians are epistemic perverts. No Christian has an answer to this very simple problem. If the Devil actually exists then Christians would be his easiest marks. How much of a fool must you be to believe that the Devil exists or could exist, but he hasn’t corrupted Christianity? Stop taking the Devil for a fool. The Devil is way more intelligent than you. Isn’t it obvious that if the Devil existed that Christianity would be the perfect vehicle for his work? You can’t just assume that the Bible isn’t written by the Devil. You can’t assume that! That’s epistemic pervertry.

God exists, but you cannot know that from reading the Bible or any human source. Which is why no Christian understands God.

You may think that this is all philosophical and it doesn’t really matter. But it doesn’t matter that you think it doesn’t matter, because it does matter. You have no comprehension how much it matters. Epistemic pervertry always matters. I just showed you the essence of all human self-deception with a single thought-experiment. What this little thought-experiment reveals is the corruption at the very base of your mind, in your very soul. It reveals that you don’t care about truth. It reveals that you are not intellectually serious. It reveals that…

Christianity is devil-worship.

The Devil isn’t a horned creature! The Devil is epistemic pervertry. And how does one become an epistemic pervert? By not thinking through such issues for yourself. By not even caring.

It astounds me that people think they can get away with epistemic pervertry, that it won't matter to the quality of their life or society at large. Nothing could be more wrong.

That people don't care about epistemic pervertry IS epistemic pervertry. Not caring about truth IS the pervertry. Every fundamental human problem boils down to not caring about truth. All of my work is just a meta-lesson in caring deeply about truth. That's all I have to teach you.

Real spirituality is about caring more about truth than anything else, and aligning your life to it. Just fucking do that rather than running around like a monkey. This is what makes a human good. Because TRUTH IS GOODNESS! TRUTH IS GOD! When you don't care about truth, you don't care about God. When you don't care about truth, you are the Devil.

I use music to put myself in contemplative flow, to connect to God's inspiration, to generate my deepest insights. If the insight comes from logical ego it will never be as powerful as if it comes from a flow state. My best insights are super-intuitive. Avalanches in Mind. It's not enough just to know, at the levels of understanding that I work at, understanding blossoms into poetry. Mind becomes art.

You are a conduit to God's intelligence. If only you did the work to free your mind of human bias and noise. Beyond Awakening or Liberation, what no one ever tells you is how beautiful your mind becomes through this work. The poetry, the wit, that consciousness unlocks. A scintillating hyper-intelligence.

The artistry of Mind is the real reward.

Is there anything more beautiful than Mind firing on all cylinders? Gleaming with cosmic intelligence.

From decades of existential contemplation, cultivation, and deconstruction of all human ideas, my mind has become an exotic garden where alien flowers bloom and iridescent hummingbirds zip from blossom to blossom.

I bask in the beauty of trans-human intelligence like a kitten in a beam of sunlight. I live connected to metaphysical abstractions no human comprehends. My mind is richer than the material world. Mind and Universe, fantasy and reality, in Union. A self-aware hallucination.

Artistry of mind is not a possibility most people know exists. But it's a vision you can set for yourself and work towards.

I can show you not only how to make sense of every facet of reality, but how to develop artistry of mind.

Here's what you need to understand about politics. Politics is its own developmental line. Having good, high-quality, wise, mature politics is nothing natural or automatic. Very few people have it because it requires specialized research, study, and contemplation to get. Do not assume that just because someone is spiritually advanced, or has a high IQ, or is good at business or science, or is popular or successful, that they should have good politics. No, no, no.

Spirituality and Awakening will not give you good politics. Going to an Ivy League university will not give you good politics. Reading a bunch of books will not give you good politics. The only thing that will give you good politics is if you do serious work in specifically developing good politics. Of course good politics requires a good epistemic foundation, but even a good epistemic foundation on its own is not enough to assure good politics. Good politics requires lots of experience and exposure to political events plus historical grounding, reading, and independent contemplation. It takes at least a decade of following politics to get good at understanding its tricks. Which explains why good politics is so, so rare. Most people are not interested enough in this domain to develop this far, and those who are interested mostly fall into the trap of one ideology or another. To spend a decade studying politics and avoid every ideology, every side, is rare indeed.

The reason I was able to do achieve it was because all of my work is fundamentally grounded in pure understanding of reality. My political understanding is just an extension of that, grounded in my understanding of existence at a metaphysical, spiritual, psychological, and philosophical level. You see, unlike most people in politics, I am not a political actor. Nor am I a journalist or pundit. My aim within politics was always this: pure understanding. My aim was philosophical, not activist or journalistic. This allowed me to keep my mind from getting corrupted with bias and various human agendas. Because I never took my eye off this ball for 25+ years, my reward is that now I have good politics. That doesn't mean I believe in the right set of positions. It means I understand politics on an existential level, as a domain of mind. While everyone else was busy arguing over this or that ideology, or reporting on news, I was busy understanding reality at an existential level. That's what you must do to cut through all the human noise. What I see instead is everyone lost and distract by the human noise. As a result, they never gain an existential understanding of politics and are forever lost and confused, arguing over breadcrumbs like rats.

Beware: if you become a political actor you will take your eye off the ball of pure understanding and you will thereby never really understand politics, you will be a pawn within the game. Your mind will get so corrupted by human agenda, by survival, that you will not have the purity and objectivity necessary to understand what's really going on. You have a basic loyalty test before you now: will you be loyal to pure understanding and truth, or will you be loyal to human activity and survival goodies? You can have one or the other. Choose carefully.

Getting extraordinary results requires having extraordinary intent. What is your intent? The quality of your intent makes all the difference. Is your intent social justice? Is your intent having your side win? Is your intent proving others wrong? Is your intent personal fame and profit? Is your intent power? Is your intent fear and worry? Or is your intent something beyond all that? Why do you think about politics at all?

What is not generally understood is how profoundly media shapes politics. Because, fundamentally, people do not think, they make sense of reality through group-think. They think what everyone around them thinks. What runs the show is not policy concerns, it's group-think. The last 10-15 years we have seen a media revolution. This democratization and fracturing of media has lead to many new forms of fallacious, toxic, and self-deceived alternative group-think, which has huge implications for politics.

People are more misinformed and self-deceived than ever and yet they feel more convinced than ever that they have the truth, thanks to the epistemic bubbles and confirmation-biased echochambers that social media platforms and algorithms created. A few giant tech companies have monopolized all of media and sold their souls to maximize profits. The social media companies have whored out mankind's epistemic standards, corrupting the minds of the entire human species. This is what Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok have done. The reason these companies are worth billions and trillions is because they whored out epistemology and truth to the Devil for profit. And nobody in society understands this because nobody understood or cared about epistemology to begin with. The hidden damage these companies did is incalculable.

These companies and all the popular misinformation they enable for profit have rotted the minds of mankind for generations to come. And all the podcasters and influencers who got rich and famous in this business fundamentally got rich because they spread bullshit for profit. Alex Jones, Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson, Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, Piers Morgan, Patrick Bet-David, Ben Shaprio, Tim Pool, Fox News, etc — this is all media pervertry for profit. They arbitrage misinformation and stupidity on behalf of the Devil. They do this without an ounce of self-awareness, guilt, or shame because none of them ever cared about truth.

We have people who never cared about truth in charge of all the media platforms, corporations, advertising, and all the eyeballs, shaping the opinions and worldviews of most of mankind. This is mankind's deepest form of corruption: worldwide mass-distributed epistemic corruption. It is a corruption so subtle and so profound that no one comprehends it. None of the people involved have any idea what they do. But the net result is that we have a profoundly sick politics, and sick minds, peddling sick ideas and views. The Devil has masterfully co-opted every media platform to spread self-deception. That's what every successful and popular podcaster does. Podcasts, YT channels, Instagrams, TikToks, and tweets — these seem like innocent fun, but they are really the tools of the Devil. That's why these bits of fun are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The entire media information ecosystem of mankind is perverted and corrupt to the bone. Social media is pervertry for profit.

The Devil's genius and intelligence is awesome. The Devil has successful co-opted religion, media, education, academia, science, medicine, finance, and all the branches of government. And no one suspects a thing. That is what I mean by self-deception. Nobody comprehends how deep this goes. This is what I mean when I say mankind are epistemic pigs. All of this occurs for one simple reason: Nobody cares about truth.

Evil is just not caring about truth. That's the real banality of evil.

Mankind is drowning in its own bullshit. This has been the case since mankind came into existence, and it's still the case today, now on technological steroids, and always taking new alternative forms. The flavor of the bullshit changes every 5-10 years, but that it's bullshit is a constant. What new bullshit will mankind invent tomorrow? Some fame-thirsty fool is hard at work on that today in his basement, desperately brainstorming some viral meme to inject into your mind for clicks.

Understanding this is what my work is really about. If you can't understand this, you will never understand reality. This is way more fundamental than "self-help" or "nonduality". These concepts themselves are just more group-think and mind-viruses.
