For my in-progress essay about cultural creation, what do you call an "art consumer", Looking for a term that doesn't sound completely degenerate?

One of the things I've noticed is that ''common sense'' or intuition has been removed from the equation. Now everything is politicized so whatever opinion you have can be lumped in with one or another trend or tribe online.

Algorithms and narratives sort the individual like in a factory process, dissolving the individual in the process and removing agency from him.

I really like the MW ruminations, but I always find myself disagreeing with his perspective. At this stage I feel very strongly that we have things in front of us quite plainly. We know what is diseased and untrustworthy (social meda, our ruling class, and the way they want us to live). We know what is healthy and strong (faith, family, deep-art, old wisdom, nature, and physical health). The only thing that remains is to pursue the later, while taking on board as little of the former as you are compelled to by force, or force of habit. By all means make content, take action, and be sanguine, but we need to get busy living and thriving, I don't see any other direction without this as a first step.

More and more we see that conservatism, national populism, and NRX are reaching synthesis. The people needed to hear the message finally heard it. The rest will probably never listen. This is a challenge for the dissidents going forward. We need to break our patterns. Let’s not be the Libertarians of old and keep on bleating out the same talking points without asking “who is the audience for this?”. https://youtu.be/8eo6mqn4V7M

My new video, been a long time since I did a fun one

More and more, I feel like I need to reply less and make more essays.

One problem. It takes so goddamn long to finish an essay. I can get the outline and words down quickly but the thing balloons out. And I have never been able to fix my disslexic eyes to actually read the words as written and not as I hear them in my head. Now I remember why I do YouTube videos instead of blogging. Hopefully this gets easier with practice.

I often wonder, watching these conversations, if you brought this video to the New Atheists in 2006, would they be on board? Probably not, but how could they expect anything else? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEZYJcZFtQo

So this week our discourse basically consisted of the following. In the mainstream media, government sources are preparing to admit that a long-made claim about the origin of the COVID virus, which they claimed to be a "conspiracy theory" and banned countless dissidents for pointing out, is plausible and probably the truth. In the left-wing online media, ShoeOnhead is patting herself on the back for opposing the practice of exposing children to public kink exhibitionists at Gay Pride festivals while the streamers shriek in outrage, oblivious to the fact that her "moderate left" arguments against child-sexualization will inevitably choke on their own logic and that it will only be a matter of time before she too defends this practice as "same love".

My only question in all of this is what is the point? Why do I even bother doing this? Every single factual statement about the internal logic of the left and the ability of mainstream powers to hide the truth behind "science" is not only vindicated, but SO obvious that even young children can now see it. I always thought that the dissident right of 2016 would die a death common to other political movements, slowly taking on factual inaccuracies to persevere its core narrative until eventually losing the thread of truth and relevance. Instead, the dissident sphere simply popped, instantly proven irrelevant not by inaccuracy but by the obviousness of its own accurate predictions. We saw the path we were on. That was something. Now we see where we are going, and that is obvious. But now, no one can use that knowledge to obtain a hope for different future. At least not yet.

I am at the point where “dialectic” cycles bother me a lot. I see young people waste their time when the older people already know how they end.

A good example is the “HBD” thesis (aka “race realism”), what I will call “non uniform Human Bio Diversity” NU-HBD. This dialectic with the mainstream has a predictable pattern and all of the young guys out there need to hear it.

What surprises most young righties is how little the argument has changed since 1982 ( it’s always presented as new by activists). Since the 1980s the NU-HBD thesis has been well-posed and has had (from my reading) much more evidence FOR it than AGAINST it. Still, (and this is important) it has never had enough evidence for its opponents to feel humiliated when rejecting it. Given this and the fact that rejecting NU-HBD is a core tenet of the academy’s religion, we see that there is never any shortage of white lab coats who are going to publicly disagree (or more often nitpick) with any statement of NU-HBD that finds itself near a political movement.

Of course, young activists don’t see this because they have been huffing the fedora fumes of late enlightenment bullshit. They think “more evidence = science supports the thesis = eventual political victory”. This is a complete misunderstanding of how scientific and political consensuses are formed, and EVERYONE who has tried this for the last 40 years has failed.

The issue is that for every scientist sheepishly publishing extensive evidence in support of the already well evidenced NU-HBD thesis on page 3 of his next journals paper, there are 5 scientists willing to proclaim their heterodox anti-NU-HBD thesis first sentence in their abstracts, and there are 10 scientists (not even domain experts) ready to go on the news and declare NU-HBD “fake science”. This means that while the evidence is leaning in one direction, the dialectic power is leaning in the exact OPPOSITE direction. Why do you think it was so easy for Destiny (and even complete idiots like Vaush and Xanderhal) to DEBOOONK this proposition? It’s because the public facing information leans in the opposite direction as the evidence itself.

This is a predictable feature of dialectics under NRX, you don’t have to like the theory but please understand why this doesn’t work people.

Believe it or not absolutely NONE of my future videos are on the tiresome Pleb versus NRX stuff that seems contantly a fascination on telegram. As far as I am concerned this matter is closed, and we are just doing performance art.

An excellent video by Morgoth! https://odysee.com/@MorgothReviews:5/when-''experts''-banned-the-colour:2

Aydin Paladins videos are “always click, never finish”, this video was the exception. If we are going to understand human thriving, it’s going to begin here: https://youtu.be/Va2EO1-rYzs

Easily one of the best things on NRx I’ve heard. Spengler, Deleuze, and C. S. Lewis go together like bread, peanut butter, and jelly, and it’s so beautiful.

In case you are hoping that this is going to expose the Cathedral's mendacity, welcome to the narrative slow-drip.
April: COVID is the worst crisis imaginable and if you think it came from a lab you are crazy and dangerous
May: COVID a little bad, but who KNOWS where it ultimately came from? Just get the jab bigots!
June: Hey return to normalcy guys ... but OMG Israel crisis!!!
July: Maybe return to normalcy ... but OMG Climate Crisis!!!
August: Hey we are probably back to normal, new normal... but OMG evil Republicans!!!
September: Hey aren't things just great in the new normal! Hey I guess there was this weird virus that escaped from a lab a year back .... OMG guys China’s evil and bad, support us against evil China!!!

We need to start finding this funny (but for different reasons than its creators think)

The clip from "Shrill" that was discussed on A Gram of Woes last night. Just mindbogglingly awful.

So I am going to be donating my entropy chats to charity. I will pick a new charity after every few months. Suggestions are appreciated.

Lol

I can't begin to describe the contempt and hatred I have for people in YouTube comments who think every piece of music is a song, regardless of whether or not somebody is actually singing.

''Oh wow, love this song''

...posted under the Bladerunner Love Theme or even Wagner ffs!

Nobody is singing you fucking fungus, you think everything is a song because you understand music through mass produced offal which has been fed to you like silage to crops.

I appreciate the message, but most Reverend Bishop Barron needs to understand what weak tea this is. The church needs to have a full reckoning with an explanation of how things need to be different. Religious identity and practice can’t be “shut off” when the authorities want it to go away. https://youtu.be/Ppdosk38EAU
