The only emotion that doesn’t deceive is anxiety, and anxiolytics are the most valid class of psychotropics. Benzo withdrawal is worse than alcohol as I understand it, so care is required. However some psychiatrists prescribe it to be take daily despite the possibility of tolerance.


Is its effects for you really the same type as those achieved through meditation?

There is nothing concrete in this article except pointing to the UK Online Safety Bill, and suggesting regulations need to be applied to 4chan if not the “dark web”. He made appropriate noise for his constituency, I don’t see this as being a revitalized CW front at this point, or at least from this article.

The epicycles-type mental explanation I'm working through is that what we bunch under the heading "homosexuality" is actually a big pile of different phenomena from diverse causes, but that's probably just a lack of understanding rather than a sophisticated understanding.




Where can I read more about this?

That version had great visuals, wish they used Electroswing[1] instead of rap/hiphop if they wanted something fresher at the time of filming. Of course they also had to show wealthy African-Americans with a white chauffeur to counterbalance the usual wealthy WASP imagery to not shock the sensitive modern audiences.

This type of networking reminds me of something @DaseindustriesLtd /u/DaseindustriesLtd mentioned, what things might look like at the other end of this development, though I think he imagines a singleton, I could see a sub-state globohomo ruling class distributed with contesting interests within their own Overton window that most Motte posters find themselves outside of.






What does moving past this sweet spot look like in practice? Are you saying the goal is to make us terrified of the incumbent Western state actors, so much so we lose the will to resist?








Adding to those posts: I think that this, in part, will be implemented as the infantilization of the populace framed for midwits as interdependence in modern economy, and the disappearance of people with «fuck you money». Ironically, it may look like the spread of practices typical for the super-rich down the social strata, but with one significant nuance: as your dependence on connections increases, your own agency and ability to decide whether someone else is connected does not, and indeed it degrades. Thus, a two-class system emerges: people who are connected and people who connect. Even the extremely rich plebeians, like Kanye, are but leafs of the graph; every link between them and the world with which they can affect it can be trivially snapped with or without a formal cause by even the lowest member of the patrician class, who is, in turn, able to fall back on an antifragile support system working on informal «understandings». Plebeian wealth is tied in contracts that can be canceled unilaterally if they misbehave, their social capital – on platforms with censors and politruks, hosted on vulnerable servers owned by people either terrified of another set of politruks or agreeing with them; their money in banks, ran by Bankmans, or in cargo-cultish meme assets like Bitcoin in a Coinbase wallet. We are being made into perpetual children, evaluated, tested and judged by the nebulous Adult Society, granted good boy points, credentials and access tokens which can be revoked at will.




I wonder what he might think.

If you had to craft a European Grand Tour, what would the itinerary look like? Similar to the historical ones?


This question has become pressing as I feel much of western cultural heritage is at risk, both the artifacts and places themselves and the ability to travel to see them - either through vandals or politically (climate lockdowns in particular). Might be inaccessible by 2030.

If your wife is Asian-American and has a CCW, she's cheating on you.




This is the most mysterious one. Is it because she’s promiscuous and carrying in case her extramarital dates go wrong?

Reminds me of Nick Land’s Hellbaked. Particularly this section which describes the results of Nussbaum’s leftward impulse:




Crucially, any attempt to escape this fatality — or, more realistically, any mere accidental and temporary reprieve from it — leads inexorably to the undoing of its work. Malthusian relaxation is the whole of mercy, and it is the greatest engine of destruction our universe is able to bring about. To the precise extent that we are spared, even for a moment, we degenerate — and this Iron Law applies to every dimension and scale of existence: phylogenetic and ontogenetic, individual, social, and institutional, genomic, cellular, organic, and cultural. There is no machinery extant, or even rigorously imaginable, that can sustain a single iota of attained value outside the forges of Hell.

I'm somewhat skeptical that the only pressures being applied are the public ones.




Who do you think is applying non-public pressure, and how?
