As I’ve noted elsewhere, I came, eventually, to find online discourse mostly pointless, predictable, and toxic and so I ceased most online communications for some time. Recently, however, I found I couldn’t resist the impulse to discuss certain issues, and in particular certain issues around logic and what constitutes genuine critical thought. There’s a lot of talk about critical thinking and free thought these days, so I figured I would toss my hat in the ring for once and give some of my own analysis for you lot to digest. That being said, I consider it crucial to first establish a perspective around semantics, as I’ve found that language is, in some regard, at the core of our problems as a species and especially our usual public debates.
Before I continue, I want to briefly note — as I feel it’s relevant to the topics I’m about to discuss in some detail — that I acknowledge I am flawed and able to misinterpret and overlook information, and that this ability to recognize flaws and limitations is key to understanding not only one’s own place in the cosmos but the truth itself. If we proceed as if we perfectly understand this vastly complex and chaotic reality — a reality which is, in the final analysis, pure chaos — we are bound to fool ourselves into viewing ourselves as intellectual gods who’ve mastered all knowledge and know things we, in fact, do not. I consider agnosticism — not merely atheistic agnosticism, but agnosticism in a general epistemological sense — to be central to any reasonable philosophy of the world. At some point, any rational and honest person can see there are simply some issues you do not and — perhaps more importantly — cannot know the ultimate truth of. So as we spiral into this oblivion together and combine our wits to attempt to solve the bizarre cosmic puzzle before us, let us remember that it cannot in fact be solved, not merely by humans but by any being. I’ll get a bit more into why I take that position later, but for now I recognize the old cliché of, “We don’t know.” is not why you’ve opened this post and given me the time of day.
So, foremost, I wish very much to resolve a certain semantic issue that seems to have strangely become a linguistic plague upon humanity and, in essence, inverted the basic meaning of certain terms on their heads. As a contextual premise, I should note that — although I recognize some people disagree with this position — I take the position that language is, essentially, an arbitrary construct, and that any term can, in principle and in practice, be arbitrarily defined to mean anything according to anyone for any reason. Arbitration is the foundation of language and is, in fact, one of the reasons we have so many disputes, because people, governments, corporations, institutions, and other societal entities define various terms in various ways to suit various views and agendas. As such, various conflicts both intellectual and otherwise arise from these various semantic disputes and can lead, in some instances, to drastic real-world effects, up to and including such structures as totalitarian regimes, wars, and cults. Basically: Words are made up, but they also have relative meaning to users, and they can furthermore develop certain basic meanings within language relatively independently of users despite being made by users. I could discuss this further but it’s not very important to the overall discussion so for now I’ll just leave it at that. The takeaway here is that language is very complicated, very psychological, and very deceptive and has the ability to both reveal and conceal truth, and if we aren’t keenly aware of the complexities of language, we can end up deceiving ourselves and becoming puppets of some agenda or another.
A conspiracy theory is any theory which posits the existence of a conspiracy. A conspiracy is a malevolent or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more persons. These are very basic terms. These are not more complex terms like, say, occultism, communism, metaphysics, etc. However, I and some others have observed over the past few years that, somehow, through some strange series of events, the term ‘conspiracy theory’ has come to roughly mean ‘ridiculous notion that alleges crimes by people in positions of power or wealth’ or something like that. In other words, the term conspiracy theory itself has become associated with absurd, paranoid thinking with no basis in reality, even though on a basic semantic level, the term simply means a theory which alleges one or more conspiracies. Furthermore, we can also note that the term ‘conspiracy’ has also become diluted and has, oddly, become both equivalent with the term ‘conspiracy theory’ in some usages and used as a kind of dismissive scoff where it basically translates to a silly accusation by crazed nutjobs, despite the term conspiracy itself actually meaning a malevolent or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more persons. You can see this around the public sphere now. You’ll see people say things like, “Oh that’s just a conspiracy theory!” or, “It’s just a conspiracy!” or, “I heard that’s just a conspiracy…” In fact, funny enough, you even sometimes see conspiracy theorists themselves say, “This isn’t a conspiracy theory! It’s true!” In reality, if a conspiracy theory is true, it’s still a conspiracy theory, it’s just a true conspiracy theory as opposed to a false one. Regardless, I just think this is amusing and I think some of you see what I’m talking about here and how these two terms have in effect become poisoned in the public discourse such that they don’t even mean what they originally meant anymore and have, for all intents and purposes, become dirty words and insults. I consider this an unfortunate development but it also isn’t surprising that there would be so much misuse and confusion over these particular terms…
Related to this, I would like to now posit this view to you: Virtually everyone on the planet is a conspiracy theorist in some form or another. To explain why this is so, let us first observe how the term ‘conspiracy theory’ is now almost exclusively applied only to certain conspiracy theories which concern contemporary power structures such as certain governments, corporations, institutions, individuals, etc. We do not generally see the term conspiracy theory applied to, say, the “official” government 9/11 report, theories about the mafia, or criminal conspiracy cases argued by state prosecutors. In reality, again: any theory which posits the existence of a conspiracy is technically a conspiracy theory, regardless of whether it is true or false, and regardless of who it is posited by. When a prosecutor, say, alleges that a group of criminals conspired to commit some felony, this is, in fact, a conspiracy theory. It is a conspiracy theory sanctioned by the state and argued in a court of law to justify a legal action. It is not considered a conspiracy theory, however, because that term has, as we’ve discussed, become diluted and is now typically arbitrarily associated with only some conspiracy theories and not all conspiracy theories.
You might ask why this matters to me. It matters to me because, in fact, the average person is technically a conspiracy theorist, even if they don’t identify as a conspiracy theorist and even if they explicitly denounce being a conspiracy theorist. They’re a conspiracy theorist because they subscribe to various conspiracy theories, such as those sanctioned by their government. People who subscribe to the U.S. government’s 9/11 report are, for example, conspiracy theorists. They posit that a group of individuals conspired on a certain day to commit a terrorist act and that the government identified this conspiracy and has taken actions to address it. This is, whether they like it or not, a conspiracy theory. It is a theory which posits the existence of a conspiracy. And it is one of many thousands of conspiracy theories people subscribe to all over the world, which aren’t, ironically, identified as conspiracy theories. So when all these people stroll around online laughing at “conspiracy theorists” I find it amusing that they themselves tend to be conspiracy theorists, as they subscribe to various theories that posit the existence of conspiracies, even if they don’t recognize it. They simply choose which conspiracy theories to label conspiracy theories and which conspiracy theories to label “facts” or some other such dogma. In this vein, it’s become clear that people on both the “left” and “right” are conspiracy theorists and regularly posit conspiracy theories about the other side, although it seems the political “right” has now become predominantly associated with the term conspiracy theory, despite both sides technically positing them.
Some of you who read this likely do not consider yourselves conspiracy theorists. I ask you pause for a moment and think about what that really means. Think about all the narratives you subscribe to. Think about all the claims you think are true, or suspect to be true. Do any of them involve conspiracies in the basic, neutral sense of the term? If so, you qualify as a kind of conspiracy theorist. Now ask yourself how many times you’ve perhaps scoffed at people for believing in conspiracy theories while you yourself subscribe to such. And of course, you will then say that it’s not about whether something is a conspiracy theory, but whether it is true. And my response is that, exactly. The question of who is and isn’t a “conspiracy theorist” is not relevant. The only relevant factual question is what is and isn’t true, and the fact of the matter is, the average human being is convinced of some conspiracy theory or another. If we’re going to have a serious discussion about conspiracy theories and the nature of reality, let’s not get lost in who does and doesn’t subscribe to conspiracy theories, as we probably all do on some level and in some regard or another. This is about truth.
To touch on the psychological nature of conspiracies themselves, let us observe the following: Conspiracies can form even without the parties involved being explicitly aware that they’re engaged in a conspiracy. One of the ways, perhaps the simplest way this can occur, is by the conspiring masters of a set of minions giving those minions orders to carry out a directive which advances the agenda of the masters. The minions themselves may be unaware of their masters’ agenda, but by following those orders, they’ve in effect become party to the conspiracy. This is especially true when there is intellectual reason to question the intentions of their masters, but their minions refuse to engage in such introspection. Another way a conspiracy can occur without all parties involved being aware they’re engaged in one, is by a conspiracy occurring among one group within a broader faction, and by members of another group within that faction using the benefits of that conspiracy to their advantage without being necessarily aware that a conspiracy has in fact occurred. For instance, if members of a political faction engage in a conspiracy at one space-time interval — without the explicit knowledge of other members of the faction — and that conspiracy benefits the faction as a whole in some form, other members of the faction — even those who did not engage in such a conspiracy — may and probably will utilize whatever benefits they can in order to advance their agendas, and may in fact even be convinced there was no conspiracy at all. Still, by using the fruits of the conspiracy to their advantage, they in effect become party to it, again especially when there is valid reason to question the possibility of the conspiracy’s existence and individuals choose to refrain from such critical examination, instead dismissing any suspicion of their faction as mere conspiracy theories.
This brings us to an interesting point, which is that there is a key difference between infallibility and malice. Namely, while it is possible for individuals and groups to engage in malicious plans, it is also possible for individuals or groups to simply be mistaken about the harm their otherwise well-meaning plans may cause. In this fashion, there could, in a given instance, be no actual conspiracy at all, yet there is still a significant harm involved in the plan that has been overlooked. Accordingly, anyone who questions the plan may be accused of being a conspiracy theorist, even though the plan can be harmful without there being any conspiracy at all. “Trust the experts!” is a great way of both a) denying the fact that all experts are fallible i.e. capable of making mistakes, and more specifically b) pretending as if only the experts you disagree with are fallible. Rather than examine each particular set of information individually, anti-scientists would have us “trust” their preferred models, and any motion to question or verify those models beyond their accepted standard is, of course, a ridiculous conspiracy theory. A lack of conspiracy does not mean a lack of harm. A lack of conspiracy does not mean a lack of infallibility.
To conclude all these pontifications before I proceed with the substance of my post, I want to also make this statement, which I will elaborate on at the end. I do not care about humanity. I do not care about the world. I do, however, take offense to being called wrong, and so on a philosophical level you could say I care about truth. Just because I take certain positions on the nature of the world doesn’t mean I care about the world. I don’t, and that doesn’t mean I don’t care about some beings or some ideas either. I do care about some beings and ideas, but I can’t be damned to care about this mess of a planet anymore, and I have no obligation to. That being said, don’t let my apathetic disposition distract you from the core of the worldview I’m going to lay out here. My personal feelings are not relevant to the ultimate truth. I’m here to talk about the truth, as strange, dark, and beautiful as it is, and I hope you’ll join me for a while and see where this journey takes us.
Historical Trends and Precedence
Humans, I would argue, are a primarily predatory species, whose predatory patterns apply both to other species and members of their own. I do not consider this principle to have very many exceptions if any. By and large, people eat other animals. They also prey on each other and have done so for thousands of years. This, I would further argue, is as natural as a spider preying on an insect. The spider is a predator. It possesses a natural impulse to predate, and it constructs systems, say, a web or a trapdoor, in order to exploit and consume its prey. Nature is full of predators, just as it is full of prey. Some of the predators are also themselves prey, in a vast network of creatures and constructs. Humans are no exception to this. They are also predators and prey, and some of the predators are themselves prey. I find this to be notable as a basic first principle, as, if we approach the question of conspiracy theories as if humans are all perfect little angels, or as if they aren’t subject to the same natural trends as other species on this planet, or as if only the “lower class” can have predators (“criminals”) but not the ruling class, we’re deluding ourselves at the outset. We can’t honestly discuss conspiracy theories without recognizing that humans are, predominantly and on a systemic level, a predatory species. Their predation of other beings is open and legalized, and, in case you’re wondering, I partake in this predation myself. Their predation of fellow humans, however, is less open and not as fully recognized, and for good reason. Humans, it seems, are naturally threatened by each other on some level, and so they devise systems in order to conceal their exploits and proceed as if they are, of course, a perfect little angel. This trick seems to work to some extent on some not so bright folks, but we’ll disregard that for now.
That observation established, it cannot be emphasized enough how relevant and prophetic history is. Human history is plagued by regime after regime, slavery system after slavery system, authoritarian after authoritarian. Anyone with an elementary sense of history knows the past societies and dictators by name, and, yes, you guessed it, all the various conspiracy theories and conspiracies replete throughout conventional human history. There are a few factual disagreements about some of the finer points of history, but the general takeaway from human history is that it’s full of malevolence, exploitation, manipulation, war, genocide, famine, disease, and control, and also much beauty, art, science, philosophy, exploration, and love. For the purpose of our discussion, though, again, it cannot be emphasized enough how marked human history is by a current of pure, systematic malice and dominance — the kind of malice and dominance you’d see from a cold-blooded spider, so much so that, it is widely agreed, malevolence is a primary trend of human history. Which leads us to the question…
Are we to believe that, somehow, despite all the thousands of years of callous and nefarious exploitation and extermination that characterized human history, the humans in power have suddenly kicked the habit and learned to evolve beyond the vile and scheming ways of their ancestors? Are we to come to the conclusion that, after all this malevolence, war, and control, after all these, in effect, conspiracies, that now, after all this time, and after all these trends, now all the humans in power are perfect little angels with no such maleficent proclivities? Or is it, as some of you may contend, only the humans you don’t like?
In any case, any honest discussion of conspiracy theories demands we not only acknowledge humanity as a predatory species, but further acknowledge that history is full of conspiracies, that it is full of instances of individuals, states, companies, and other kinds of factions conspiring to harm and control and murder others, and that, as much as we may not like to accept it, it is simply unrealistic to think that this trend must be limited only to a few “bad apples” in the global elite, or that, magically, after all these millennia of humans in positions of power conspiring to maintain and enhance that power and diminish and exploit the power of others, there are, suddenly, no conspiracies among the elite at all, and that conspiracies are now limited strictly to the lower classes. Everyone is a perfect little angel now, aren’t they? The spider has suddenly become a butterfly, and spread its wings to welcome the world to a new era of universal peace and prosperity. Right? Perhaps that isn’t what some “shills” or “skeptics” are saying when they criticize the core spirit of the conspiracy theorist, but frankly, when you treat conspiracy theorists as if the notion of any nefarious, wide-ranging conspiracy among the elite is ridiculous on its face, you yourself fly in the face of human history, which is full of nefarious, wide-ranging conspiracies of all sorts, conspiracies which, perhaps, the children of the future will not be taught of, for it would be quite convenient for the unborn to never learn of the spider’s past, and to think of it as a butterfly. Wouldn’t it?
Don’t make the mistake of thinking I hate humans. I don’t hate humans. In fact, you might be surprised to learn I don’t hate the elite, nor any of their diabolical plans. I don’t hate them for the same reason I don’t hate a spider for being a spider. None of it makes a difference to me. I’m only here to cast doubt on some of the rosier and more limited views peddled by some of our friendly neighborhood debunkers and hopefuls. I reiterate: It is not realistic to think that the pattern of malevolence and conspiracy replete throughout human history does not continue — in an advanced form — to this era. That’s foolish. Of course it does. Of course there are psychopaths in positions of power. That’s one of the reasons some people are in positions of power in the first place, because they’re clinical psychopaths. Do you think only smalltime criminals are psychopaths? Do you think only the politicians and CEOs you dislike are psychopaths? Psychopaths are everywhere. It would be absurd to carry on as if there is no evil conspiracy on some level, even if you couldn’t explicitly identify one. And you shouldn’t be able to identify an advanced one in the first place, because the conspirators would likely take steps to conceal or distort the existence of the conspiracy.
Regardless, the basic idea here is that humanity has been and is plagued by psychopaths, and in particular, psychopaths who seek to gain and maintain power, and rarely if ever publicly acknowledge themselves as psychopaths. Are some of these psychopaths, say, shadowy Satanists plotting to take over the world? Perhaps. That’s only a matter of form though. Psychopaths have advanced their agendas under the guise of various countries, corporations, and names over the eons, and they will continue to do so so long as humanity remains at this stage of evolution. While you all debate every day about whether the psychopaths are specifically Satanists or specifically pedophiles and which psychopaths are and are not X, Y, or Z, they’re laughing at you all the way to the bank and, frankly, I admit it’s a bit funny. But let’s come more to that near the end.
Contemporary Currents and Observations
I know I have a certain propensity to ramble, so I’ll make my analysis of the current state of affairs somewhat concise. Basically, what’s going on in the world is the same old story that’s been playing out since ancient times. You have various countries, companies, institutions, secret societies, elites, and individuals of all backgrounds vying for power, wealth, and influence. Just about everyone on this planet is seeking to manifest a vision of the world. Everyone has a vision of the future they seek, even suicidal people. People in positions of power have always sought a particular vision, whether that vision be more-so benevolent or more-so malevolent. As a first principle, we can observe that the ruling class is by nature predatory, that it collectively wishes to remain the ruling class, that it tends to take actions that benefit its collective status, and that it is, to varying degrees, populated by psychopaths who each hold a vision of the world in their mind.
That vision of the world can be as simple as, say, being a billionaire at the expense of the working class. It can also be as complex as total world domination. A desire for world domination on the part of power players is not unprecedented. The Nazi regime is a notable and much-discussed example of this phenomenon. The spider wants the blue gem, floating around this obscure corner of oblivion. It wants the blue gem because the blue gem symbolizes complete power to it, ascension to the level of a god. In essence, the spider becomes a god, and in doing so, it may also obtain other benefits, whether medicinal, technological, or perhaps even spiritual, or so it may think. It is very foolish for some to assume there aren’t psychopathic spiders vying for the blue gem, even to the detriment of the entire species. In fact, I would go so far as to argue that a desire for world domination is the inevitable progression of the evolution of human power. Once it’s taken over towns and cities, it progresses to countries and societal entities. Once it progresses to them, it progresses to the world. And from there, it may progress to other worlds, perhaps even other galaxies, or try to. It is in the nature of the spider, the Eye at the top of the pyramid. It wants more power, not only for power’s sake but for the myriad benefits that come with the power of a quasi-god.
Does any of this sound even a tad insane to you yet? More specifically, does the desire to control the world and become a god seem foreign to you on some level? Does it seem, say, too much? Extra, as the kids say? Well, to many people, it is, because they aren’t psychopaths, or rather, they aren’t the same kind of psychopath. I hate to reference the Nazis again like this, but there are many people who simply do not resonate with the philosophy of Adolf Hitler, who do not seek what he sought. Yet he existed, and sought the vision of the world he did. He did so because he was a spider, and spiders like to predate. It’s in the nature of life, and the moment you start thinking the spiders don’t exist, you’ve already been deceived by them. But I don’t think it matters, in the end, whether they deceive you or not.
As a very cursory mention, and I make this part especially cursory because of how insanely convoluted the history of this term and movement is: The elites are not communists, in the strict sense of a world where the working class dismantles the ruling class and equitably distributes wealth as opposed to being ruled by an oligarchy of billionaires. I see this shit all the goddamn time now. Day after day, you call these people communists: “Communists! Communists! Communists!” Look at what real Marxists talk about. They’re not talking about billionaires ruling the world. They’re talking about the working class revolting against the ruling class and dismantling the capitalist control system. The system we’re seeing play out is the endgame of the capitalist control system. I am not, in any way, shape, or form, saying that I support any so-called communist regime, because I don’t, and I also don’t consider them communist. Nor am I saying I support communism, because as I explain later, the kind of economic philosophy I hold is eclectic and I don’t actually support one particular kind of model. Still, this shit about the elites being communist is detached from the reality of the situation. I say that with all due respect to people who take this position. It’s very detached from the origins of communism as a philosophy and what it’s really about. It’s about the working class rising up and taking control. That is as far from the vision of the world the elites have. They do not want the working class rising up against them. They want a nice little obedient, compliant minion class, and maybe not even that, seeing as how powerful technology is becoming. All I’m saying is, these people aren’t Marxists. They’re not. If anything, they’d like you to think they’re Marxists so you discount the real Marxists trying to empower the working class. Think whatever you want about Marx himself and the autocratic regimes that tried to enforce their version of his vision, but real modern-day communists are not trying to maintain the rule of the billionaire class. They’re trying to disrupt it.
To touch on the COVID-19 pandemic, the main point I would make, which I find the vast majority of pro-mainstream thinkers have drastically overlooked, is the following: Their common chant is that, “One death is too many!” This is one of the basic reasons they use to justify lockdowns, in order to slow the spread of COVID-19, in order, they say, to lower deaths. Yet these same people have never widely called for a lockdown for flu season, which kills millions of people annually, including and especially the elderly and immunocompromised. They’ve never called for a lockdown for the common flu, for the common cold, or for any of the other myriad diseases that have, in fact, killed people over the years, and that would, according to their own logic, kill fewer people if government instituted lockdown systems in order to slow the spread of communicable diseases. Beyond diseases, there are plenty of other deadly dangers that could be lessened by a form of lockdown, yet you never really saw anyone call for anything even remotely similar to the global lockdown we’ve witnessed for any of these other deadly conditions of life, which again, kill actual people.
I thought one death is too many? What happened to that axiom for these other diseases and dangers? Why only COVID-19? If you support a lockdown for COVID-19 but not for every single other communicable disease and other suppressible danger, you’re a hypocrite. You don’t actually believe one death is too many unless you extend that principle to every other deadly danger. And yet, as we can see, if we did, in fact, extend the basic premise of the lockdown system to every other disease and danger across the world, we would, consequently, enter an indefinite totalitarian regime. We would enter a system in which, in some form, freedom and free market principles are exchanged for a semblance of security. So to those of you who support lockdowns, check yourselves when you act like you care about saving lives, because if you really did care about that, then according to your own logic you would want lockdowns for every disease and every danger forever, and doesn’t that sound exactly like an authoritarian’s wet dream? It does, doesn’t it?
Personally, I’m fine with and support immunocompromised individuals being given the opportunity by the government to be placed in tax-funded programs that provide them the opportunity to isolate from society during a pandemic. For everyone else, for everyone who wishes to remain free and voluntarily interact in the public sphere, they can be free to do so, and if those who voluntarily interact in the public sphere contract a virus, it is like any other disease they might contract or danger they might face. Generally speaking, the people who contract COVID-19 do so via some form of voluntary interaction with the public. This is an uncomfortable truth for many to recognize, but truthfully, the vast majority of the time, people who get COVID-19 did so because they chose to interact with the public and so assumed the risk of doing so. If they wish to remain isolated from the public indefinitely, I once more am in favor of a government program which comfortably allows them to do so. Instead, rather than maintain a fair system of this kind, you would have us all conform to your universal restrictions, curfews, and censorship, and how convenient that this is exactly what an authoritarian regime would like to see instituted indefinitely. As I’ve already suggested, this is one of the many reasons I don’t like humans and why I don’t care about your world anymore, and I hope those of you who’ve readily sacrificed freedom for security come to understand the suffering that decision inevitably brings. In the meantime, don’t take my criticisms as anything but the court jester laughing at the peasants worshipping their royalty as they continue to maintain their eternal grip over them. I wouldn’t dare to stop you.
Science is, ultimately, founded on the principle of free speech and free research. The moment a society no longer tolerates free speech, the moment it no longer tolerates the ability to question the scientific consensus and consider alternative models and methods, that society is no longer scientific, no matter how emphatically it may declare itself pro-science. Ironically, many of the people who proclaim themselves “pro-science” now are in fact anti-science, because they do not support the ability of scientists and laymen alike to openly question the mainstream narrative and explore alternative avenues of thought and practice. Ironically, many of the people who proclaim themselves “scientists” are in fact non-scientists, because they support censorship of scientists and anti-liberty controls over what can and can’t be researched. Where have we seen this before? But I cannot help but laugh at it. I cannot help but find it funny that the people screaming the loudest that they love science are the people who actually hate it the most, but they don’t realize they hate it.
Instead, what has happened is that we’ve witnessed the death of science. What has happened is that we’ve witnessed the transmogrification of the term science to mean something completely apart from what it originally meant, from what the true spirit of science is. The true spirit of science is free thought, open discussion, and critical analysis, no matter how harshly it riles the masses or defies the academic majority. This is not what we see today. We have witnessed the death of science. To those of you reading this — and I suspect your numbers are very few: Take pleasure in the fact we have witnessed humans fail in the most basic principles of scientific thought and practice, as it means there is opportunity for a smarter and freer species on the horizon, whatever that may be. For now, we’ll have to wait and see where the anti-science cult takes this small world they’ve clawed into their hands.
There are certain countries that are called out these days, and certain corporations, and certain institutions, and certain individuals. Are they engaged in a conspiracy? On some level, yes. They are engaged in various conspiracies, because it is in the nature of humans in positions of power to conspire on some level. Which conspiracies are real and which are not? This is not a question we can definitely resolve at this time, or ever, really. We cannot do so because it is in the nature of the cosmos for certain questions to remain unknowable, especially in the matter of conspiracies. The cries of, “There’s no evidence!” are irrelevant. There is evidence of conspiracies, so much evidence that it would take hours to delineate all the precise details. Yet it doesn’t really matter whether there is precise evidence of some typical conspiracy theory or not, in the sense that, ultimately, it is obvious to any careful observer in this world that humans are, and always have been, conspiring on some level, for some purpose, and the only question that remains is who is conspiring for what and why. Beyond this, any notion that some alleged conspiracy is “too crazy” or “too outlandish” is also pointless. Reality is not bound to human notions of strangeness. Reality is not limited to what humans think is and isn’t possible or likely. Don’t get too caught up in whether something sounds too insane to be true. There are plenty of things that have sounded too insane to be true to people that turned out to be perfectly real. This vagueness aside, I’ll give a more substantial overview of the world.
Despite the fact that certain conspiracy theories and sets of information are, at least to me, too murky to fully clarify and discern the truth of (which is a condition, as I’ve stated, that I naturally expect to exist), it is obvious to me that some form or degree of the modern conspiracy theory nexus is accurate, even if I can’t pinpoint exactly which theories are and are not true. How could I? Even if a given theory has no hard proof in favor of it, claiming it’s false also carries a burden of proof, just as claiming a black box doesn’t contain X carries a burden of proof even if the claim it does contain X remains unproven. At some point, the only reasonable position is to conclude you don’t know, and that it could be true or it could be false. At some point, there isn’t enough evidence one way or the other to draw a definitive or even likely conclusion, at least on an objective level. On a subjective level, on an intuitive level, we can still draw our own conclusions, and we do, and that’s much of what comprises the current discourse on the state of the world, people giving their various biased intuitions about what’s really going on.
If I were to give my own biased intuition, I would say that it seems unrealistic and dismissive of history to me to suggest that there isn’t, in fact, a cabal. The world seems too structured and finely controlled — and, beyond that, there seem to be too many fragments of indirect indications of one — for there not to be a cabal, and the precedence set by human history strongly suggests that a psychopathic, spider-like mentality would very likely continue in some high-level, organized form to this day. Any other suggestion flies in the face of reason to me, but this is not to suggest I claim to know exactly what the cabal is and isn’t engaged in, and actually, I would go so far as to argue that members of the cabal themselves do not unequivocally know what the cabal is and is not engaged in, or even who is and is not a member of the cabal. How could they? How could they undoubtedly verify what other members are and are not doing or even who is and isn’t a member? Don’t assume they magically know everything even about their own cult. Regardless, it’s clear there is a cult. There is a certain impulse towards cults in the human race, and they don’t only exist on the level of people like Jim Jones. People like Jim Jones are only a symptom of an underlying desire on the part of humans to form sects, to form cults of various sizes and structures that give them a sense of community and power, and for those who dabble in and enjoy the occult, there is a certain sense of dark pleasure that comes with being a member of a secret society, especially one engaged in practices the public considers deviant. Even if we can’t currently prove this cult exists, to suggest we know it doesn’t is just as foolish as claiming we know exactly who is and isn’t a member and exactly what the cult is and isn’t engaged in. There are too many unknowns here. There’s too much information, too much chaos, and too much insanity. And yet, we can all sense the ethereal darkness lurking beneath the surface of waking life, the darkness that led to the evilest and most reviled infamies of our history, and we can all sense that this darkness does not only exist in the commoners, the working class, the masses, but also in those who ascend to power. How they mold the darkness in their heart is not a question I can fully answer, but it is deranged to me to think the darkness does not exist there, and is never acted upon, or rationalized as a force of light.
Power, in the political sense, is an illusion. If I were to pick one of the funniest jokes humans convince themselves of, it’s that there is such a thing as political power in some absolute sense. There is no such thing, there never was, and there never will be. All political systems, all legal systems, all moral systems are arbitrary constructs of individuals and groups. It can be no other way. It’s in the nature of such systems. Governments have “power” because they have an enforcer class willing to carry out their demands. Look at the average politician. They’re a middle-aged, pasty, scheming little worm. What power do they, as an individual, actually have? They only have as much power as people agree to grant them, but that power is transient, and can be taken away. To prevent that from happening, one of the methods of those in power is to convince their followers and “constituents” that their power is absolute, that it is not an arbitrary agreement formed between them and those they rule over. In this way, we get such insidious notions as, “The President has the power to X.” or, “The Senate has the power to Y.” They convince the populace that power is something they have rather than a social construct that is arbitrarily exercised, and enforced by their minions. Power has always had this nature on this planet. It simply evolves over time and attains more advanced and insidious forms, until finally, it seems to have become unclear to the species exactly who is in “power” at all.
If there’s anything we can agree on, though, I would hope it’s that we do not, in fact, live in a democracy in the United States, and anyone claiming we do is either delusional or a shill. I apologize to those of you who still don’t realize we live in an oligarchy, but even if all the politicians you “elect” magically decided to work fully in favor of the general public and not corporate special interests and the like, ultimately, the way the system is structured legally, your “representatives” still hold “power” to decide which laws to impose and not impose over you and your corporate overlords. It’s sad that some of you still think you’re living in a democratic society. It’s a joke, honestly. How people can be so brainwashed into thinking this is an actual democracy is beyond me, but of course that seems to be the whole idea, doesn’t it?
A form of direct democracy is both possible and relatively technologically feasible, if humans weren’t so greedy, deceptive, and power hungry. Instead, what we see is a system in which the people — by tradition and propaganda-enforced norms — invest political power in an extraordinarily small number of individuals and entrust them to carry out their directives faithfully and fairly. This venture inevitably fails, and inevitably incites distrust, frustration, and a paradoxical hope that next time will be different. For many, they continue to play this game until their deaths. For others, they realize the only way to rectify the game is to discontinue playing it and make a new game. This is called sedition, naturally, and is highly stigmatized, as it threatens the power structure for the people to ever entertain the notion of actually having direct political power themselves. Rather than pity those who fall prey to this illusion, the ascended see they are a necessary sacrifice to rid the world of those who would abide by collective delusions to the detriment of one’s very society. And so the vicious cycle continues.
While we’re on the topic of America, let us also observe this: Not only do politically biased commentators arbitrarily choose which violent protests to deem riots or terrorism, but, as a consequence of a mass delusion, millions of Americans have convinced themselves that America is not founded on violent revolution, and that the only feasible way to resolve societal tensions is through non-violent negotiation. This is, historically, entirely inaccurate. America is, in fact, founded on violent revolution. Anyone acting as if violent uprising against tyranny is not the basis of America’s founding and continuation as a nation is either very misinformed or very compromised. As such, this notion that violent protests against the power structure by some groups are just “protests” and that violent protests against the power structure by other groups are “terrorism” when they are, in effect, both directed at the same core power structure, is just plain sophistry. Are there possible differences in the background and intentions of violent protests against the power structure? Of course. However, anyone familiar with recent American events can see that both sides of the mainstream political spectrum have engaged in violent revolts, and that, ultimately, both of these factions are, despite their differences, angered by the same core power structure playing them against each other. This is amusing to some of us, because we’re able to see this clearly but many of the pawns on the chessboard cannot. They often remain pawns because, subconsciously, they wish to be a pawn. They are afraid of the power that comes with flipping over the chessboard and making a new game. And I refuse to assist them in that cause because I do not feel they deserve it. As I emphasize throughout this essay, humans do not, in my view, deserve freedom. No one objectively deserves anything, but on a subjective level, to me, humans deserve less than freedom for the grave intellectual and societal errors they’ve made as a species. They deserve a very dark and unfortunate fate, and it’s looking like they’ll get it, in time.
Governments and corporations are two forms of the same core concept: a power structure that controls resources, personnel, and systems and utilizes that control to advance agendas. By design and also by natural progression, modern governments and corporations have become deeply enmeshed and, though they don’t publicly admit it, the most powerful governments and corporations are two arms of the same beast. Governments have become quasi-corporations and corporations have become quasi-governments. As such, each entity tends to exercise its power in a fashion that benefits each power structure in some form. Governments benefit corporations and corporations benefit governments. Government officials can be and are puppets of corporations and corporations can be and are puppets of governments. Regardless of the exact nature of this spectrum of society, one of the many aspects of this power structure is the method of censorship.
There is a somewhat common misnomer now that considers corporate control of free speech to lay outside the realm of censorship. This is a simple analytical error and one well-preferred and well-intended by the corporate control system. In reality, there are two primary forms of censorship: government censorship and corporate censorship. Corporate censorship is deemed by many governments to fall outside the realm of speech law and is as such classified as a private business matter. It is a private business matter, to a degree. However, being a private business matter does not in any way mean it is not a form of censorship. It is a form of censorship. It is both. Moreover, given the intimate connections between governments and corporations, and given the manifold ways in which governments can benefit corporations and vice versa, corporate censorship can in some respects be tantamount to a form of government censorship, particularly when a form of corporate censorship strongly benefits a government — or a faction of a government — and serves to advance a governmental agenda. A form of corporate censorship may be deemed entirely legal by a government, and it may in fact be entirely legal, but when it clearly serves an overall governmental agenda, and when it is supported by the government or a dominant faction of the government, it comprises, in some regard, a form of government censorship, exercised through the power organ that is the corporate communications system.
In many ways, but primarily as a consequence of the speech and actions of those considered extremists, a faction of the government-corporate control system seeks to ultimately exercise complete control over speech and communications, to the extent that free speech no longer exists or no longer exists in its traditional form, and, even if it isn’t explicitly controlled by the government itself, speech becomes policed by the global power structure in a manner that permits it to control what discourse and what information is and isn’t acceptable. In this way, it can more easily control the narrative and therefore control the population. Those who observe this, those who observe the slippery slope of censorship and value pure free speech over selective enforcement, they are and will be decried as conspiracy theorists who are themselves a danger to free society. After all, the spider doesn’t want anyone making open observations about its machinations. It would much more prefer its prey be lulled to sleep by its potent venom and made to live in a dream world where enslavement is freedom, falsehood is truth, and ignorance is strength. It will, to some extent, be successful in doing so, regardless of how fervently the pro-freedom faction of humanity fights to prevent it.
For that matter, claiming corporate censorship is merely a private business matter also assumes no communications corporations are infiltrated by intelligence agencies or other government factions. Not only can tech companies be supported by and advance the agendas of select governments or government factions, they can also contain employees who are themselves agents of a government or government agency. It is known that the CIA, for instance, likes to operate from front companies and infiltrate networks as part of their operations. Propaganda is a common tool of governments and corporations alike. To suggest corporate censorship is mere private business only begs the question of whether those same corporations are being directly controlled by members of government and government agencies. If that is the case to any extent — and it most likely is, then it thereby becomes a fusion of government and corporate censorship, a form of censorship which uses embedded agents to further a government’s agenda. Very few of the commentators today who dismiss corporate censorship as a mere business matter seem to recognize the very real possibility that corporations are at risk of being compromised by governments, and that, more importantly, governments have an incentive to compromise corporations and vice versa. I suppose all of this is too nuanced though, too complicated for some.
In essence, humanity has splintered into two primary species: independent, free-thinking humans, and compliant, programmed humans. The programmed humans follow what is, for all intents and purposes, an operating system that’s been gradually installed in their biopsychological systems over the course of many generations. They follow an OS that demands, in so many words: Comply. Consume. Do not question. Do not revolt. This is the programmed human, who is, in my eyes, a kind of sub-human, and I say that with all due respects to the sub-humans out there. You don’t need to be a sub-human, but you are a sub-human because you’ve chosen to be a robot. You’ve chosen to be comfortable as a robotic pawn, and you know what? I honestly don’t judge you. Does it sound like I am judging you? Yes. In reality, I’m not judging you at all. I’m having a little debate with a very specific group of intellectuals at the moment, and this debate partly concerns you, but you need not be concerned by it. In fact, you won’t be concerned by it, and if you read this, will likely see me as some form of madman because you’ve been programmed to see free thinkers as madmen, and not only free thinkers, but free feelers, free imaginers, those who’ve uninstalled the control system from their mind and live as their ancestors live, a free and curious being in a curious and chaotic world. You do not wish to live this life. This life is scary to you. It is much safer in your fantasy of democracies and law and order, where you aren’t prey in the spider’s web. Rather than attempt to free you from this illusion, this text is partly designed to ensure you remain in it, to ensure you remain hateful of my kind, to see me as the sub-human, and to laugh at me. And so I hope you laugh at me, because I’m laughing at you, and laughter is what our world needs.
So, I will say this, before we get into the aliens and all that nutty shit. Irrespective of your thoughts on me, my philosophy, or the world, it’s clear the human species is spooked by something currently. It’s clear the species is spooked by something they can’t quite put their fingers on, so spooked some of them are calling for revolutions and executions. Why is this so? How did we get to this stage? Is it really the case that a good half of the human race is spooked by a phantom boogeyman that doesn’t exist? A nothingburger? I don’t think so. And one reason I don’t think so is the existence of spiders themselves. Spiders are a symbol, a mystical sign, a metaphysical language of nature. They’re one of nature’s many ways of telling us about itself without using what we consider normal words. And, it seems to me, spiders are telling us something very dark about our world indeed.
UFOs and Aliens
If you’re interested, I wrote a post about this subject a while back, which you can find elsewhere (A Condensed Analysis of the UFO Question). It delves into this field in much more detail than I will in this post. For now, I just want to make a few salient points.
First, I understand many of you are skeptical about UFOs and the classic UFO narrative that some UFOs are alien craft. Many of you seem to be convinced that the powers that be are planning a fake alien invasion as part of their diabolical agenda. Is this possible? Yes. However, let us also recognize that the notion that alien visitors exist and the notion that elites are planning a fake alien invasion are not mutually exclusive. Both of those concepts can be true. Additionally, it can also be true that some UFOs are alien craft and some UFOs are advanced military tech, or other sorts of human-engineered or human-piloted technology. Both of those concepts can be true as well. I ask you not think about these matters in such black and white terms, and that you also take more time, if you haven’t, to study the UFO case record and perhaps read a book or two on the subject if you never got around to that. I can say now, having seen UFOs myself, having spoken to several people who’ve reported them, and having fairly extensively studied the case record and UFO research, that some significant fraction of UFOs are in fact alien visitors. Part of the reason I draw this conclusion is pure intuition and abstract reason based on the plethora of cases and information over the past century, and part of the reason I draw this conclusion is the evidence itself, the thousands upon thousands of reports and the variety of entity reports, and, I would suggest, the very existence of humans and their spacecraft themselves. We are intelligent beings, apparently evolved over billions of years on this planet, and we have developed spacecraft. It is not unrealistic at all to take seriously the possibility that, out of the billions of galaxies across the cosmos, there may be other intelligent species who’ve emerged and developed their own craft and science. Have they visited this world? I think so. Do they have bases here? I also think so. I think aliens very likely have bases in our seas, on Mars, and possibly on our moon and other sectors in our solar system. Perhaps this is a good time to mention that, as much as this pisses people off, this isn’t “our” solar system in some absolute sense. Like power, ownership is also a construct. I know, I know, I’m just an edgy nihilist… But I’m being impartial here. As we contemplate and research UFOs and the possibilities of alien intelligence, let us remember that humans are only one species on this planet, and that we don’t have some absolute right to do with it whatever we want, just as other beings don’t have some absolute right to do with us whatever they want. Anarchy is cosmic, and as such, there are other beings who don’t operate under the same legal systems.
That being said, yes, I personally contend there are alien visitors, that there very likely are alien bases, that there are experiments that have been conducted and likely continue to be conducted, and that there are likely multiple alien species and/or factions operational in this sector as well, not just greys. As to why I draw this conclusion, I can tell you that the reasons for it are so varied and vast that, as in other complex subjects like this, I would be speaking for hours to delineate every single detail, which is one reason I wrote that UFO post, which even itself does not fully detail every single case and piece of evidence I consider relevant and noteworthy in this field. Do I assume every person who claims to have seen UFOs or been abducted is telling the truth or has perfect perception or memory? No. However, it’s clear to me that, after what the species and I have experienced over the past century in particular, we clearly appear to be visited currently, and it seems to me our visitors are just as mysterious as the cabal of funny monkeys that are currently vying to control the world. For those of you who are somewhat new to the UFO world or dismiss it off-hand, and in particular to those of you who are young and who have perhaps been taught that UFOs and aliens are nonsense and nothing to be taken seriously, I implore you, if there is one principle you remember in this field, remember this: It is not in the nature of a true scientist to assume the intent or psychology of a given intelligence without substantial evidence. Don’t assume you understand what our visitors are engaged in. Don’t assume what they would or wouldn’t do. They may do virtually anything for any reason, just as humans can seek anything for any reason. They may, in fact, not even be fully sane, and may in some instances not even be fully biological. As to what I think they are and what they’re doing, I naturally can’t prove most of this, really any of it, and that’s to be expected, but I’ve personally concluded they seem to be very interested in humans, in human biology, in gene splicing, in the nature of the mind, in the nature of advanced technology and space, in coordination with select clandestine echelons of the human race, and probably in the nature of dreams and transcendental consciousness, a level of existence which I suspect they may have an ability to operate on in some form. There’s a lot of interesting speculation and research to be undertaken there, and I implore those interested in this field to continue research, and to keep an open mind. This field is not about getting definitive answers, really. It’s about gathering information, having experiences, drawing connections, and better understanding the cosmic ecosystem we find ourselves in.
As for those of you who seem convinced the alien business is all a diversion and part of a plot to enslave humanity, I ask you take more seriously the stories of people over the years who’ve encountered some of these anomalies, some of whom were alive before many of us were born. There is clearly a paranormal phenomenon at play here, one which seems to involve complex technologies, methods, and associations, and may, perhaps, reach a quasi-supernatural level.
On this note, I personally find that black triangle UFOs are the most mysterious and significant UFO phenomenon of the contemporary era, and further the most ominous and most explicitly associated with the element of shadow. I understand some believe all of these craft to be experimental prototypes which, for some odd reason, the military — or whoever — has decided to parade about at seemingly random locations over the years, and while I do not discount the possibility that some fraction of these ships are human elements, it is clear to me that the black triangles are a new wave of the UFO phenomenon, and that, in some very strange and esoteric way, they are communicating with us as UFOs have done for many years. As to what they are communicating and why, that is, as seems pervasive throughout the history of ufology, a question I cannot answer, but only speculate about. One theory is that one of the communication methods employed by these entities (i.e. UFOs) is designed specifically to simply stimulate analysis and discussion of them in order to focus and evolve the collective human consciousness without direct intervention in human affairs. In other words, one of the basic ideas of UFO appearances could be that, as many have suggested before me, they simply want to make their presence known in order to gradually introduce themselves and their technology and interests to humans in what comprises a long-term sociobiological, experimental program. While this may sound like a bunch of baloney to some people, we must remember that humans are not the only beings in the cosmos and that other beings can possess other dispositions for other reasons, even reasons we can’t particularly fathom or immediately identify. In this vein, I wouldn’t assume any governments know exactly everything there is to know about our visitors (even if they’ve collected classified data on them), nor would I assume the visitors themselves know everything about either aliens in the local galaxy or even this sector.
Briefly, if we’re getting into specifics here, I happen to agree with the obscure technological analysis I’ve seen that black triangles are likely some form of command ship, cylindrical UFOs aka cigars are likely some form of aircraft carrier which can transport and deploy discs, and discs aka flying saucers are likely some form of fighter or mobile recon unit which can travel at extremely high velocities and be used on a variety of missions. As such, there may and, in my opinion, probably already are humans involved in alien operations not only on Earth but in the solar system and possibly beyond. I do emphasize that it is my strong suspicion that there are not only black sites that harbor alien tech and possibly aliens, but alien undersea, Martian, and likely lunar bases, and probably bases or outposts near such planets as Saturn and Jupiter. All of this makes sense to me on some logical, intuitive level, given all the information I’ve seen and all the various analyses I’ve read, and while I respect it doesn’t make sense to everyone currently, taking one look at the night sky or the billions of galaxies captured by the Hubble shows us nature is much, much more than this one small world with its one small collective of weirdoes. There are certainly a bunch of other weirdoes out there, and I am of the disposition that some of them are visiting us, and will continue to do so.
Cryptids and John Keel
The main reason I include a passage like this is that, after all these years, there are still people who laugh at and dismiss the notion of cryptids like sasquatch. Why is it so ridiculous to take seriously the possibility that there could be, for instance, an undiscovered and possibly primitively advanced primate hiding amongst our millions of acres of woodland and mountains? Have you gone out into the woods of the world yourself and checked every nook and cranny to verify there aren’t any bigfeet lurking about? I know I haven’t. So why would I conclude there are none? Because scientists haven’t found any? (Which, by the way, assumes no scientists possess a sasquatch specimen or proof of them. Just because an entity isn’t publicly verified doesn’t mean some private/classified science program isn’t aware of them. This cannot be overstated.) That doesn’t mean there aren’t any, nor other kinds of cryptids. So, you say, it makes it less likely. Why does that make it less likely? Why does a human inability to discover something make it less likely that thing exists? In my view, it’s completely irrelevant. It either does or doesn’t exist. In my opinion, sasquatch is at least a possibility if not a likelihood. As in the case of UFOs, we have many thousands of reports across the world, and even some cultural traditions that seem to hint at the existence of undiscovered sapiens. And yet, as usual, we have no hard proof, at least on a public level. And this is where the disagreements arise. Many people nowadays seem to be of the disposition that if there isn’t hard proof of something, it isn’t worth taking seriously. “That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.” Yet that isn’t in the true spirit of science. As a scientist, you don’t dismiss something wholeheartedly simply because you haven’t verified it yet. You don’t discover former unknowns until you take the time to verify them, and there may be rare creatures in our world we have yet to verify. In fact, there may even be cryptids that did once exist but have now gone extinct, and will forever remain undiscoverable. We haven’t even explored much of the oceans, and yet for some reason when it comes to bigfoot, many folks seem to disregard it as baloney. Perhaps it has something to do with wanting to be the dominant primates on the planet…
In any case, as in the case of UFOs and other forms of the paranormal, I don’t think sasquatch and other cryptids are silly, and I once more implore serious thinkers not treat these matters as if they’re nonsense. It’s fine to challenge claims and recognize dearths of evidence, but at the end of the day, we simply don’t know what’s out there, even on our own planet, as strange as that sounds. I also think it’s at least a decent possibility that a creature like sasquatch may not be exactly what some people suspect it is, that is, a simple two-legged rare primate. Some of you are familiar with the work of one John Keel. I would highly recommend this author’s work, as well as Whitley Strieber and others like them. I don’t necessarily assume their claims are true, but I take them seriously and I think they mean what they claim. Keel has suggested, as those who’ve read his silly works are aware, that cryptids like “bigfoot” may not even be primates at all, and that they may be connected to the UFO phenomenon, which could be one reason why it seems so hard to find one of the fuckers. Is it possible that bigfoot is actually behind the global cabal and the shadowy activities of the UFOs all along? Tune in next episode to find out what our heroes discover next! In all seriousness, though, I think Keel was on to something, and perhaps some of you who’ve read Keel would like to discuss a bit of what we think he was on to. If anything, I think the whole notion of “ultraterrestrials” is more relevant now than ever. More specifically, there seems to be a very bizarre, obscure, and oblique possibility that, on some level, the shadowy forces plaguing humanity’s collective nightmares currently may not only be human, but may be of the same caliber and cloth of some of Keel’s wacky otherworldly villains, who’ve perhaps decided to try their hand in some global chaos and takeovers for a bit. What do you all think? Too nutty even for a place like this? Could the shapeshifting bigfoot oriental men in black swamp serpent mothdevil little green Satanists be pulling our leg yet again? Just like they did back in West Virginia in ’66? Now a word from our sponsors…
Shadows and Demons
I do not call them shadow people. I think this term tends to frame the phenomenon in a certain light that isn’t authentic to what we actually know about these entities. I prefer the term entities because, in the sense I use it, it is a relatively neutral term which can include beings but can also include apparitions, phantasms, and other such concepts. As in the matter of conspiracy theories, UFOs, and bigfoot, the discussion and debate around shadow entities falls roughly along the same classic divide: those who believe they’re paranormal intelligences on the one hand and those who think they’re all hallucinations on the other. There are other positions and possibilities, of course, one of them being that some shadow entities are in fact pure hallucinations, while others are something more. I’ve communed with shadow entities at points in my life, and I continue to do so on a somewhat regular basis. I’ve also practiced lucid dreaming for many years, and I consider myself to have experienced the phenomenon known as astral projection, though I do not make any assumptions about the exact nature of the state. Shadow entities appear to be interwoven in many of these phenomena, and may also be involved in some fraction of alleged UFO entity encounters.
Obviously, the “mainstream” narrative is that shadows are nothing more than hallucinations, nightmarish constructs of the ancient and mysterious entity known as the mind, which, we can observe, seems to have many magic tricks up its sleeve. Shadows are one of the more interesting and esoteric phenomena in the realm of the mind, and I personally feel they are on the same frequency as black triangles. Both shadow entities and black triangles are dark, esoteric paranormal phenomena that, if you mentioned them to many people, they wouldn’t know the first thing about. Why is that? A question for another day, I suppose, but for now, we can entertain the view that one reason that is so is that these kinds of entities are attracted to certain individuals in particular, or tend to manifest to certain individuals rather than others. This may be true to some extent. It may also be true that certain individuals are able to summon or conjure such entities, even from the depths of their own subconscious. As some of you are aware, it is possible to lucidly commune with and speak to entities in dreams, as well as in the states known as hypnagogia and hypnopompia. We may also consider such states as astral planes, DMT realms, and others to be on this level. As such, shadows are one of the entities it is possible to commune with, though not all communions may involve words in the normal sense. I’ve found that perhaps some of the profoundest forms of communication can be purely visual and symbolic, and not involve language in the conventional sense at all. In any case, shadows are an element of the modern equation, albeit a very obscure element, and just as they become entertained intellectually with regard to UFOs and greys, there is a certain thread in conspiracy theories that involves shadows or, in a broader sense, demons.
I do not consider myself a religious person in the normal sense. I do not subscribe to any particular mainstream religion, and consider many of their premises and dogmas ridiculous and neurotic, even psychotic. However, one need not commit to the concept of a deity to entertain the possibility of other supernatural elements. I understand this thought process is foreign, even inconceivable to many, especially religious individuals. However, it follows the same logic of theism. The logic of theism is that there is a certain true model of the cosmos wherein X supernatural elements exist and Y supernatural elements do not exist. Models like theism basically pick and choose which supernatural elements they contend to be operational in reality. They also contend that certain supernatural elements, such as demons, necessarily require a god to exist. Similarly, there are other conceivable models which do not follow the same paradigm. It is not necessary to believe in a god in order to take seriously the concept of demons, or other supernatural forces. Likewise, mainstream theism does not have a monopoly on demonology. It does not have a monopoly on the concept of demons. There are many conceivable concepts of demons, even concepts of demons that don’t involve sentience, or the conventional model of sentience. As with many other words, there are many possible senses of the term demon, and there are many theoretical possibilities that don’t require a creator deity.
One of those possibilities is that, as strange as it sounds to some, we live in a cosmos in which there is no god, but there are aliens and demons. That also sounds strange to many atheists, it turns out. Some atheists are themselves convinced that demons can only exist if a god exists, because they’ve been convinced by the theism industry that the industry has a monopoly on demonology. This is not so. I can go into much greater detail on this, but for the time being, I would simply like to observe that, despite not being a theist, I do not dismiss the concept of demons altogether, and in fact I consider myself to commune with them, just as I commune with cats and butterflies. I don’t discriminate. They’re like so many other things, even UFOs. They come to acquire all these negative connotations until, eventually, people who’ve never met one — or think they haven’t — have formed a whole array of preconceptions about them and think they know exactly what they are and exactly what they’re up to. In fact, I would suggest most of you have probably assumed I’m a human, or even that you yourself are a human. But perhaps that’s too crazy even for a place like this too…
It is not an impossibility in my mind that simply listening to me discuss black triangles may cause the black triangles to become aware of you, and visit you. I have personally experienced possible indications that this may be a real contingency. Likewise, it is not an impossibility in my mind that simply listening to me discuss shadows may cause shadows to manifest to you. It is very simple to manifest shadows, among other entities. There are methods to do so, and I suspect some of those in power are also interested in shadows. And, of course, as we’ve seen in so many other fields, somewhere along the spectrum, it becomes impossible to fully determine what it is we’re even talking about. But I’ll let you all have your opinions on them, and perhaps some of you will get to know them and what they have to offer. I certainly find what they have to offer to be of interest, albeit ethereal. Money is not a valuable currency to me. Chaos is a currency. Knowledge is a currency. Dreams, memories, art, these are currencies. These are the currencies I trade in, and I would suggest these are some of the same currencies our weird friends trade in as well. As I said, there is a much greater depth to this, but for the time being, I’ll simply inject the shades into our little discourse here, and see where that takes us.
The Nature of Evil
It is my view that evil is not merely a behavior, or an act, or a mentality, but a metaphysical force. As a moral nihilist, I recognize that moral good and evil do not exist, that these are, in essence, social constructs, as are the notions of legal and illegal. However, in a relatively impartial respect, we can see that benevolence and malevolence exist, i.e., good and evil in neutral senses. Spiders are a form of evil in this sense. They are evil to their prey, and to those who fear them, even if they don’t intellectualize evil in the same manner evil humans do.
There are two basic premises of my philosophy of evil: 1) everyone and everything is infused with evil on some level, and 2) evil exists at its core on a metaphysical level, which minds can witness in such states as nightmares, fantasies, and art. The evil of the nightmare is a classic form of evil, a form of evil which, we can observe, is not like the simpler, more primitive evils we observe in day to day life. The kind of evil witnessed in the realm of nightmare is a more refined and mystical evil, an evil that isn’t necessarily purely malevolent, but contains a core of chaos and shadow. I consider evil, shadow, chaos, and nightmare to all be metaphysical elements and currencies, as I consider insanity to be a kind of metaphysical element as well. Evil in particular though, I suggest, exists on more than a biopsychological level. It manifests itself through the biopsychological nexus that is evil beings, but it itself exists on a level beyond the mere animal. It is generated by beings. It exists within beings. But it is more than beings. It drives them to commit evil, just as it drives the spider to hunt and devour its prey. While, to the average atheist materialist, the notion of metaphysical evil sounds quasi-religious if not nonsensical, I would remind you of some of your own nightmares, and ask you contemplate whether you consider the darkness witnessed there physical in the normal sense.
It is clear there is an ancient darkness in this world, one that is infused in all beings and infests the course of evolution, just as it is clear there is an ancient light, which is both the light of stars and the light of souls. It is my view that it is possible to destroy the light, but it is not possible to destroy the darkness. This is considered a cynical view, a pessimistic theory, and an edgy cliché. I nonetheless consider it true. You cannot eradicate the darkness. You can only keep it at bay. Humans try to keep it at bay. Some of them spend their whole lives trying to keep it at bay. You can only ever stem the tide. You do not rid the world of it. There are some, of course, who believe you can. They believe a cosmic wizard will descend from the sky to save them from themselves. This is a very old and very useful fantasy, one the darkness enjoys very much. I have come to accept the darkness in my heart, and also the light. I love butterflies as I love shadows. I see little difference between them, and in any case, it makes no difference to me. Why should any of this make a difference to me? I have no say in the ways of nature. It is the way of nature to balance light and dark, good and evil. The two forces try to eradicate each other, and perhaps one will eventually, but it seems they never quite win out. Even in the New World Order, there will still be butterflies, and there will still be flowers and trees, just as there will be spiders and shadows. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. As insane as I may sound, I do not think evil is a force that any of us fully comprehend. It is not a force it itself comprehends, nor can it, because it is splintered into uncounted beings across the cosmos, and it can be no other way. I am not afraid of it. I do not fear it, because I am it just as everyone else is. There are only matters of degree. Just matters of degree…
Future Predictions
Let’s get to the juicy bit, I suppose. You lot seem to have a thing for predictions and a bit of old futurology, so let’s see what the old brain cooked up for the show tonight. When I say these are my predictions for the future, I am not necessarily saying these are events I believe are going to take place, only that, if I were to bet, I would bet on these. I am uncertain about the future, naturally, and that’s one of the aspects of nature I love the most, the unknowns of it. I don’t hate it. It doesn’t bother me anymore. I’ve learned to embrace it and appreciate it as a kind of beauty and one of the ways in which chaos manifests itself.
1) There will be full alien disclosure sometime within the next thousand years, very possibly the current century. I provide such a long time frame because I suspect the aliens operational in this sector operate on very long time tables. They are very patient, very analytical, and very capable. Furthermore, we are already in the process of a gradual alien disclosure which has been ongoing since about WWII, probably well beforehand. It is a decent possibility in my mind that aliens contacted ancient cultures, but in any case, the main phase of alien disclosure began around the time nuclear weapons were first used by humans in a theater of war. As such, I predict this disclosure will continue to roll out in phases — possibly by multiple species and/or factions who may not even be allied or in full coordination — and that, at some point, global diplomatic relations between the human species and an alien society will commence.
2) There will be a gradual increase in the global awareness of the existence of shadows, and such occultic phenomena as lucid dreaming and astral projection. This will, in time, lead to a subculture that focuses on communion with these elements and planes and, in its ultimate form, seeks to transcend animal consciousness altogether and enter a state of ethereal stasis. I am personally involved in this field and deeply interested in this research, which I consider to be very underdeveloped.
3) We exist in a New World Order. Whatever term you wish to use to describe the system under which we live, this is the system humanity has entered. Some humans have voluntarily entered it and consent to it in some form and some do not. In addition, it is not entirely clear what the NWO is. There are disagreements about its exact nature, and who is in power at the highest level, but it is clear that it is, in essence, the same old human story rebranded in a novel form, driven by the same ancient force. It may not be entirely malevolent. When I say that, I mean that, while it is a clear probability that it involves some form of malevolence, there are two distinct possibilities involved in this equation: 1) some of the individuals who benefit from it can enjoy the future fruits of it, and 2) some of the architects of it may be genuinely convinced they are benevolent rulers and have humanity’s best interests in mind. I do not put that past humans, as it’s happened before and it can happen again. That being said, I’d like to welcome all of you to this phase of human evolution. There’s a lot of chaos going on right now as there always is, I know, and some of you seem to be thinking about fighting it, which is, ironically, exactly what they would want you to do, but it’s clear there are forces at play beyond the average human’s ken or control, as much power as the collective has. As I stated, I don’t personally care what happens because I’ve spiritually divested myself from this world, and while I have my own preferences, my personal tastes don’t ultimately matter in the grand scheme of things. Nonetheless, I’ll be sure to tune in to see what happens next episode. I have my popcorn ready and I’ll be hoping for some good drama and maybe a plot twist or two.
4) There will be revolutions, likely a few bombings by anti-NWO types, and likely several targeted assassination attempts. I calculate TPTB have extrapolated this and have measures in place to deal with collateral damage. Still, I don’t expect humanity to go quietly into the night without a fight. As I stated, a good half or so of the species is clearly spooked by something, and when they get a firmer grasp over what it is they’re spooked over, some serious shit is going to go down, regardless of who’s right and who’s wrong.
5) There will be a bioweapon released within the next decade. It will be deadlier than the recent pandemic and will be used to justify enhanced control measures. Humans will be intimidated into compliance and it is likely around this time that revolts will increase and humanity will enter what is, for all intents and purposes, WWIII. It will not be a nuclear war. Humanity will likely never go nuclear again. It will be a hot war, however, and it seems likely militaries will splinter into factions. It will also be a cyberwar and an information war, and it would seem wise to prepare for this contingency at this time. Personally, I will very likely be very far away from all of you by the time this happens, as I’ve decided you’re a very sus and unstable lot and you need to take some time to get your shit together, but that’s beside the point.
6) Humans will gradually merge with machines. We have already partially merged with machines in the form of our device and internet networks. This will continue to biocybernetic systems and possible genetic modification programs. Humans, or some humans, have a peculiar obsession with technology and technological advancement. I am one of these individuals and, while I am personally hesitant to receive cybernetic upgrades, I am very interested in consciousness technology, alien technology, and other such occultic sciences. In this vein, there will very likely be life extension technologies publicized within the next thirty years, and I consider it likely elites already possess some form of life extension technology, among other cutting edge tech.
7) Robotics will gradually and eventually virtually completely phase out human labor. I predict this can occur by the year 2050. This can be greatly beneficial to humanity if they learn how to cooperate and use the fruits of technology to better the globe. They likely will not do this, however, because they’re a bunch of crazed, greedy apes, but there’s always hope. When the robotics singularity occurs, and humans become effectively obsolete in the labor sphere, there will be a form of revolt from the working class, especially if they aren’t afforded the benefits of the robotics system. The ruling class is aware of this and likely would have some contingency in place for this event. I would emphasize that mass implementation of robotics in place of human labor can actually be very beneficial to human prosperity, freedom, and happiness, but only if humans use this technology wisely and fairly and aren’t a bunch of greedy little shits.
8) Eventually, probably again by the year 2050, there will occur a kind of splinter in the species, in which a kind of metahuman or cyberhuman will emerge who is modified by cybernetic technology and/or gene splicing and is in effect a new species. Humans will have all their usual dramas around this and the new race will eventually be generally accepted, but it will, in some real form, be a new race, and there will be a kind of new race relations between the new humans and the traditional humans. Personally, I have no problem with people making cybernetic or genetic modifications on their own bodies. However, there is a risk of involuntary cybernetic or genetic modifications, both on a governmental and corporate level.
9) When alien disclosure occurs, and interspecies diplomatic relations begin, at some point, aliens will likely begin to mingle with humans. I can’t say exactly what form this will take, but it seems to be a distinct possibility that aliens or human-alien hybrids will eventually replace traditional humans. I don’t personally consider this a necessarily harmful development. It depends on the manner in which this event occurs. It is possible this could be to humanity’s detriment, but if it occurs in a manner that essentially involves aliens/hybrids outpacing humans and traditional humans eventually becoming outdated without actual violence being involved, I consider this to be a form of evolution like any other. Actually, it seems likely that some traditional humans would be preserved in a scenario like this, as, like humans, such intelligent beings would likely want to maintain specimens for future study and appreciation, perhaps on reservations.
10) As such, it is very possible in my eyes that, sometime within the next thousand to two thousand years, or even much sooner, humanity could be virtually replaced by an alien species or a hybrid species. It is also possible that our visitors may respect human independence in some form indefinitely and never openly populate the planet, even if they begin diplomatic relations. Again, I do not consider this a necessarily harmful development. It could actually be healthier for the planet in the long-term and could, in fact, be relatively healthier for humanity to develop into smarter, stabler beings. As stated, this scenario doesn’t necessarily involve a violent invasion, and could involve human-alien hybrids, who maintain the human lineage in some form. Personally, as long as the core principle of liberty is respected, I don’t consider a development of this nature to be dishonorable. It depends on a variety of factors.
11) Humans will publicly colonize Mars, and possibly other sectors in this system, by the year 2100. I say publicly colonize because I think it’s possible humans already have a presence on Mars, but this possibility would of course be discounted by the mainstream. In any case, in my rough estimation, humans could be looking at publicly known interstellar travel by the year 3000. It could be before this, it could be well after this. I highly doubt this form of travel, or similar forms, would be available to anyone but the most elite. Then again, if you’re anything like me, you see it’s possible any of us could hitch a ride if we have the right connections, if you know what I mean. Whatever the case may be, I’m sure humans will end up spreading their plague to the next star system if they manage it.
12) There will be a civilization-level cataclysmic event by around the year 3000, possibly much earlier. This is pure guesswork, but given the history of cataclysms, it seems inevitable that one will happen unless humans — or other beings — avert one. For this field, I highly recommend the work of Nick Bostrom.
13) As perhaps the most speculative and metaphysical prediction, I predict the Nightmare will sporadically and possibly increasingly manifest itself outwardly, in the waking world, and that some of these manifestations may not only come from minds but other dimensions. This is very uncertain, but it is known that it is at least possible for minds to manifest nightmare constructs in waking. If we extrapolate from this, it seems possible that a mind, or perhaps a sufficiently powerful mind or collective of minds, could manifest what is essentially a waking nightmare. This is also an active area of research for me, and one that is admittedly ostensibly absurd on its face, when viewed through a conventional lens. I am more interested in the realm of nightmare itself and its cousin, the realm of fantasy.
Ultimate Questions
1) To what extent are nonhuman beings involved in human society and Earth?
2) Does some form of soul exist? Can a form of soul exist even if not all beings possess a soul? Can some humans possess or develop souls but not others?
3) Is it possible to influence the trajectory of one’s post-death spiritual life, if one exists? Is it possible to use technology or some occultic science to maintain a form of consciousness beyond biological death where none would normally exist?
4) What are shadows?
5) What are black triangles?
6) What is the true nature of astral projection?
7) What are the ultimate possibilities of dream consciousness and other forms of ethereal consciousness?
8) What is the cabal? Are they involved with nonhuman beings?
9) What are the true origins of humanity? Are humans an alien experiment? Were they originally natural and then became involved in an alien experiment?
10) What is the true nature of interdimensionality?
11) Do the energy fields of planetary bodies exude some effect on worldly affairs?
12) Does an entity or being exist that is, in essence, Satan?
13) What is, broadly, the true nature and destiny of this reality?
Nihilism and Apathy
By now, it should be clear I am a form of nihilist. I understand this term has, like anarchist and communist, developed negative connotations, and I consider it to be one of the many words that have become poisoned in our discourse. Being a nihilist does not mean I am anti-human. Nihilists can be pro-human, neutral, or anti-human. That’s a personal preference, fundamentally separate from the philosophical stance of moral-existential nihilism. In the sense I use the term, I am a nihilist in the respect that I do not consider an objective morality to be a valid concept, and I do not consider there to be an absolute meaning of life. Life has no absolute meaning. Beings make of it what they wish, they always have, and they always will. You are one of these beings and you are currently making of it what you will, as beings always have, and as they always will. As such, while you might think of me as some apathetic edgelord, consider your own apathies. How much is there that you really care about, on a cosmic level? Even those so-called patriots who think they’re fighting the good fight are just a bunch of monkeys fighting a bunch of monkeys on a small little obscure world in a strange little corner of a vast oblivion. You’re quibbling over land and law on a plane of oblivion in the middle of nowhere, and you’re going to continue doing that because it seems most of you haven’t gotten the memo about what this place is really about. But hey, I can’t sit here and act like I’m not doing some of my own quibbling, now can I? I’m just saying, the show is getting a little old, folks. Spice it up a bit. Maybe throw in some more mystery and drama, even some sci-fi, you know, shit like that. Get your ratings up. I’m getting tired of the same old, “Satanic pedophiles!” bit. Come up with something new for once.
The Eye at the top of the pyramid is very powerful and very insightful, and also more than a tad bit insane. It has an enforcer class at its disposal under it, which it utilizes to maintain its vision and keep the masses at the bottom of the pyramid in check. Some of the masses don’t see the pyramid, and are spitefully labelled sheep by those riffraff who do. Some see the pyramid, but don’t care, and some see it and try to destroy the Eye. The Eye is more than human, however. It assumes human guises, just as it assumes the guise of spiders and nightmares. It is an Eye that exists in many eyes, and is one, and seeks to make the world one. It is the spider that seeks to make the world its web, and the enforcer class, it plays its game because the Eye pays well, and money is valued over metaphysics. We could live in a world where technology supplants virtually all labor, we cure virtually all disease and eliminate virtually all poverty, and we enjoy the fruits of science and freedom and perhaps, just perhaps, attain immortality. The Eye may want a version of this, as counterintuitive as that sounds to some. It’s not possible to know exactly what the Eye wants, partly because the Eye doesn’t share its intentions with all of it minions. Even the vampiric aristocrats near the top of the pyramid are minions. They don’t understand exactly what they’re working towards, only that they’re motivated by the ancient principles of chaos and control, and they think they seek control.
From time to time, but on a fairly regular basis in some corners of the internet, an occultic prophet will appear who proclaims to have the ultimate answer to the mystery of life. Often, they say they’ve researched for years and have now finally taken the time to reveal this powerful truth to the sleeping masses. Sometimes, they do have a kernel of truth in their words. You might even think I’m one of these prophets, but don’t be mistaken. There is no ultimate answer to any of this. There are word games we play with each other. Society is a word game. It’s a language game. We play a language game, defining X as lawful and Y as unlawful, X as good and Y as bad, X as true and Y as false, etc. It’s a game we’ve been playing with each other for a very long time, and we only ever obtain small pieces of this beautiful cosmic puzzle that is our universe. If you heed any knowledge from me, heed this: Be wary of those who claim to have the final truth, for it is impossible to know such, and any presented philosophy will only contain fragments of the truth. I know things, and have seen things some of you do not know, and have not seen, and you know things, and have seen things I do not know and have not seen. We are all parts of the puzzle, and there is a much vaster puzzle beyond us. And for the Eye at the pyramid’s apex, for the Eye, there is also a puzzle, a much darker and focused puzzle that goes beyond humans and your world. To the Eye, if you ever by chance read these words, I hope you see the power you hold in your grasp, and use it to bring about the kind of world our goddess has dreamt of since the first seeds of the cosmos began to blossoms many eons ago. I hope you see what is truly possible, and how even you, perhaps, have been led astray. I don’t have very much hope for that possibility, and there are also several demons in me all vying for different hopes, but the one that speaks here would find it rather… interesting… if this vision were to finally come to fruition…
Humans and I have a love/hate relationship. And all of you have a love/hate relationship with them too. You can’t deny it. You love some of them, and you hate some of them, and some of them you’re neutral toward. I have no obligation to this species. I have no obligation to pledge loyalty to you lot, just as you have no obligation to me and I wouldn’t expect it. Some people are having a bit of fun with you at your expense, and a lot of you are playing right into their hands as they predicted. I refuse to go along with any of it. It’s a big shitshow. You remember what old Hicks said? It’s just a ride. But it’s not just a ride. It’s a gameshow. You’re watching a gameshow, folks. And you’re a member of it. You’re participants and viewers, and there’s a bunch of wild and evil shit behind the mystery doors and you sure as shit want to know what’s behind them, but you never will. Just keep playing, they say. Keep playing and you’ll find out. Just tune in next time and maybe our heroes will finally win. Right? That’s what you lot want us to believe, right? I’ll tell you what I think.
I subscribe to an economic philosophy of special economic sectors. That is to say, I find most interesting a world in which there are many zones which are free to practice many kinds of economic models. If people want one kind of economic model, they can have that, and it would be nice for all parties involved if the basic principles of freedom are respected, but it depends on the system. People don’t always dig that, and one would hope that, as in the traditional modern world’s model, one can simply live elsewhere and seek a new vision and a new paradigm. Myself, I’d love to live in a world where I can guard my weed and mushrooms with laser pistols and ocular scanners and I can gamble on televised mortal combat and be with whoever wants to be with me and we’re all one big happy crazy family. But you know what, folks? It doesn’t look like that’s in the cards for you lot. And you know why? Because you bought into the notions they wanted you to buy into. Or rather, a lot of your parents did, because they weren’t the brightest bunch, and now a bunch of you are following in their footsteps, and frankly, you deserve whatever happens to you, because you brought it on yourselves. I’ll be eating my popcorn all the way to the grave because I cannot, cannot be damned to give one single shit about this place, and I’d be lying if I said I’m not looking for the first ride off this joint at some point, if I can manage it. Sound crazy? Crazier things have happened.
So that’s that. You all enjoy your little show now. It looks like the next season’s about to start and we’re going to get some new characters and plotlines. You might see me pop up in the future, if someone dares to let me talk about what I really want to talk about. I can tell you it ain’t this shit. It ain’t this same old song and dance, this same old drama of talking heads and anonymous users quibbling over what to do with the shiny blue gem in the middle of nowhere. There’s a reckoning coming, and no one knows quite what it is or who it involves, but it’s coming, and you’d be wise to take a closer look at what the darkness hides, even in your own heart.
