Skipping the Asteroids?
Regulars here will know of Carol Rosin and Werner Von Braun. The Nazi head of the Apollo programme explained how the cold war, the subsequent “nations of concern”, then asteroids and finally an alien invasion was all theatre for essentially doing the whole alternative three, which is basically getting a tiny section of humanity off planet on various bases in our solar system and perhaps further afield too.
I cover these realities in my fiction trilogy currently available in full only as one volume called Nazi Moon (Amazon link is at the bottom of the description at that link if you prefer paper doorstoppers). That’s Carol Rosin in the video. She also testified before congress.
But in case you thought that was not real…
Here is just one of various predictive programming totally real news stories
Things might not be looking too good for the Pedovores in charge if they are skipping the whole asteroids narrative.
And if one asteroid just happens to land on my house and wipe me out… well… you’ll know it wasn’t really an asteroid.
The Most Important Book I Ever Read
For some years now, I have toyed with making some kind of list of the ten most important or enjoyable books I have read (different lists) but it has been very hard, mostly because I could easily extend both lists to 20 or 30, and partly because many books I (most) have been lost to moves and unfortunate storage choices by my relatives when I left them in their care.
Nevertheless, I recently posted on the Best book I ever read. But that was my attempt at mixing what I thought was important with what I enjoyed. By the same token, my own books, The Face on Mars could be of the same category, if for very different reasons. While Reclaiming the Catholic Church – The True History of Vatican II and the Visible Remnant of the Real Catholic Church now that the Vatican is a Pederast Infested Hive of Impostors, to my mind, would be important, but probably not as fun to read (still way ahead of any book on theology I read to date though).
Believe! On the other hand was a short book and to the point, with references, and relatively entertaining too, and it probably had far more of an impact than the detailed deep dive that Reclaiming had. Certainly I didn’t expect whole families to convert to Catholic Sedevacantism as regularly and as frequently as that little book seemed to have inspired. So one could say it was a useful book.
By the above metrics then, I hope to explain why I consider this book, freely available at the link, to be the most important I ever read.
Carlo Cipolla was obviously a brilliant man, but his book, THE BASIC LAWS OF HUMAN STUPIDITY is truly ground-breaking.
He encapsulated in both hilarious yet perfectly accurate scientific notation, just how human stupidity presents itself in observable reality.
As he mentions in his own first edition of the book.
In fact, the publisher’s note alone is worth reproducing in full:
PUBLISHER’S NOTE
Originally written in English, The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity was published for the first time in 1976 in a numbered and private edition bearing the unlikely imprint of “Mad Millers.”
The author believed that his short essay could be fully appreciated only in the language in which it had been written. He consequently long declined any proposal to have it translated. Only in 1988 did he accept the idea of its publication in an Italian version as part of the volume titled Allegro ma non troppo, together with the essay Pepper, Wine (and Wool) as the Dynamic Factors of the Social and Economic Development of the Middle Ages, also originally written in English and published privately by Mad Millers for Christmas 1973.
Allegro ma non troppo has been a bestseller both in Italy and in all the countries where translated versions have appeared. Yet, with an irony that the author of these laws would have appreciated, it has never been published in the language in which it was first written.
Thus, more than a quarter of a century since the publication of Allegro ma non troppo, this in fact is the first edition that makes The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity available in its original version.
The private edition of 1976 was preceded by the following publisher’s note written by the author himself:
The Mad Millers printed only a limited number of copies of this book, which addresses itself not to stupid people but to those who on occasion have to deal with such people. To add that none of those who will receive this book can possibly fall in area S of the basic graph (figure 1) is therefore a work of supererogation. Nevertheless, like most works of supererogation, it is better done than left undone. For, as the Chinese philosopher said: “Erudition is the source of universal wisdom: but that does not prevent it from being an occasional cause of misunderstanding between friends.”
Supererogation means to do more than is required (especially in a work). So Cipolla is saying that although it should be obvious that stupid people will not be the ones reading it or making use of it, it is best to state it, even if it should be obvious, and he (politely in my opinion) states that this is necessary even among “erudite” friends, in order to avoid misunderstanding.
Now you know why I have rather long-run-on sentences and verbose paragraphs to make relatively simple points. I could make them in a sentence, but then… the “erudites” who grasp the full meaning would be a tiny number indeed!
I also agree that though he was Italian, the work is really best appreciated in English, which is how he wrote it. I find the same is true of much of my own work. The English language is perfectly technical and lends itself far better to technical explanations, scientific work, and precise language. We Lagos tend to lose something in translation in the written word if we can’t add a look, a hand gesture, or both. And the number of people who can write in technically excellent Italian are probably down to a half dozen. those who can appreciate it may ten or so.
At any rate, you really need to read this short book the Professor left for the non-stupid.
The planet is fast approaching a critical mass of stupidity that may well result in the extinction of the human race, or at least, of that part of it that makes life on this planet marginally tolerable despite the teeming waves of idiots we are constantly surrounded by.
Mostly, this is because of a corollary I would like to add to his Fifth Law of Human Stupidity.
A STUPID PERSON IS THE MOST DANGEROUS TYPE OF PERSON. A STUPID PERSON IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN A BANDIT.
Professor Cipolla himself already understood the inevitable result of the relationship between stupid people and power (in the political and force-projection sense), as he wrote finally at the end of the fifth law:
In a country that is moving downhill, the fraction of stupid people is still equal to σ; however, in the remaining population one notices among those in power an alarming proliferation of the bandits with overtones of stupidity (subarea BS of quadrant B in figure 3) and among those not in power an equally alarming growth in the number of helpless individuals (area H in the basic graph, figure 1). Such change in the composition of the non-stupid population inevitably strengthens the destructive power of the σ fraction and makes decline a certainty. And the country goes to Hell.
Given the current state of affairs however, it is important to spell this out in even simpler terms:
The Bandits use the Stupid to weaponise them against any attempt (by the Intelligent) of removing them from power.
It may be the natural (or Divinely Ordained) order of things that humanity is indeed to go extinct, as some giant Universe 25 experiment with mice, be that as it may, surely, as a member of the Intelligent group, it behoves us to do whatever we can to ensure the continuation of at least our part of humanity, as best we can.
Aside the fact that humans are not mice, and that the Universe 25 narrative played very much in the depopulationist boomer agenda espoused by the culprits of the recent mass-murder event called COVID, with its related fake “vaccines” that are really murderous genetic serums, there is also the fact that if intelligent humans organise and come together, their effect on the planet is far more impactful than the masses of idiots that inevitably get in our way to derail plans and efforts, as they invariably do.
In short, the book Cipolla wrote is extremely important because it formally recognises a fundamental issue that humanity has to face in order to survive the next stage of human advancement: The increasing and intentional stupidification of the human race by a few bandits orchestrating it.
Only a concerted effort by organised intelligent people can counter this global phenomenon.
Which, of course, is why I started trying to build up a Sedevacantist Catholic Community in a remote village in Italy. While my wife and I, despite our rather advanced age for it, certainly did not shirking our duty of making a bunch of children.
It is heartening to see that other sedevacantist couples, younger and therefore likely to produce many more children, are trying to do the same in their own ways in various places around the world.
The independent cell-nature of the Sede Catholics, coupled with absolutely shared dogmatic values, is a strong combination for weathering all sorts of nefarious events and plots by the Bandits; and historically too, no one has been quite as successful at rising from the supposed ashes of their religion.
So we are on good ground.
Go read Professor Cipolla’s Magnum Opus. It is truly wonderful and important.
TMOS Concepts: Part 1 – Religion as Foundation
This is the first in the Theoretical Models of Society series of Posts. Use the category of the same name or the Search Me function on the right-hand sidebar to find all related posts in the series in due course. The precursor to this series as way of introduction is the post immediately before this one.
It is generally helpful to a reader if they are already familiar with some of my other work, in order for this stuff to have the most useful effect on your life. In particular, The Face on Mars and Believe! would be the top reads to have done to have the generic global perspective of reality well in hand. Systema and Reclaiming the Catholic Church would have the most impact on a more personal level. On health/security/self-protection, and on the reality of Catholicism as it was (and remains with Sedevacantists) before Vatican II and why the Novus Ordo Church is not only not Catholic, but Satanic at its core. I will repeat this little paragraph on each new part, as I think it is important to have a general foundation if one is really interested in more than skim-reading before returning to the general slumber we are all being attempted to be forced into.
The Foundation
Before anything of note can be constructed, the thought of it, and the abstract foundations on which it rests need to be clear enough if it is to have any chance of success. Therefore, although this is a little analogous to being able to understand the basics of mathematics before you describe how to build a bridge, it is very important stuff, even if it may appear rather “airy” and removed from the very practical aspect of putting bricks and mortar together to form the columns that will sustain the bridge.
The basic foundation of ANY meaningful social change is, always has been, and always will be, a commonality of purpose.
While this seems obvious, what almost no one realises today is that society in the West has been throughly atomised by use of the double wielding of two edged swords of appealing to greed, materialism, sloth, and pride.
In times of actual war where bombs are dropping on your head, you may well “come together” with people you would normally not associate with, but there are two major problems with that, the first is that such alliances are extremely temporary at best. The second, and more important one is that you do not have a commonality of purpose and ideology in times of peace at all, so the baseline for the initial commonality does not even exist.
There is also a third problem that is that actual war today is no longer anything that resembles any of the WWII films you have seen and read about. Modern warfare is as disjointed, atomised and impersonal as the rest of the atomised West. Drones you will not even see will take you out without you ever having seen an enemy soldier. Artillery and aircraft will do the same and the infantry movements will tend to be squad-sized and therefore also relatively atomised with at best squad-sized groups looking out for themselves; even at the expense of other squads. The days of massive infantry assaults are all essentially charges of the light brigade today and are absolute suicide in any modern conflict.
Because of these issues, the most fundamental thing to have right from the start is a common purpose, which in essence means a common world view. There are many factors that influence this.
The more obvious and less politically correct (but nevertheless factually true) ones are that race and culture play a massive role in this and the constant DIE (Diversity, Inclusivity, and Equality) being pushed on Europeans and all caucasians generally (Americans, Australians, New Zealanders, etc etc) is unprecedented in human history. The reality is that you are far more likely to have more things in common with a white person that is a heterosexual and has your same nominal religion than with a black (African), brown (Indian, dot, not feather), yellow (Chinese, Korean Japanese) or red (feather not dot) person that is a homosexual. This is not rocket science, and your feelings about it are irrelevant, it’s simply a generically true fact, and the exceptions to the rule do not change the overall situation.
But even this is not the main issue. For example, even within each of the above-mentioned race-based groups there will be cultural differences that make a difference. A Spaniard, Portuguese or Italian is more likely to get along with a Greek than a German, Austrian or Norwegian, and vice versa.
If you reduce this even further, you get back to almost individual granularity, which is atomised, so again ineffective. And all this is natural. If you are Venetian like me, you don’t even really like other Venetians, or humans in general. Sicilians are also a little similar in that regard. And you thought we were both “Italians”; ha!
So, in order to be effective as a group, since the familial tribe-lines have been broken long ago, by the general same principles that the nuclear family has been destroyed, so have the links to ancestors, the pride in your family name, the knowledge of your ancestral history, and so on. Of course, even just in trying to recapture some of this context and keep your family together, you are likely to consume so much time and energy you have none left for anything else. On top of which, each of these points raised above is a rabbit hole you can spent a lifetime in; without getting out of it again in any meaningful or useful fashion.
So, then, what is the answer? The answer is a common ideology, but even there you have a problem, because ideologies in general are always in error to a degree or other and therefore eventually fail over time.
The only form of “ideology” that has in fact stood the test of time is religion. Now, you may be a convinced atheist, or more likely, a general agnostic, or possibly a generic churchian, but the reality is that only religion has banded people from different walks of life together in a very coherent fashion. When I say that, of course, I do not mean that every religion is equivalent, they are not. Absolutely not.
You have to consider them in turn, and in broad strokes they boil down to the few main world religions, in no particular order then:
Buddhism (I include Taoism and Zen Buddhism/philosphy in this)
Hinduism
Islam
Judaism
Protestantism
Eastern Orthodoxy
Novus Ordo (fake) Catholicism (really a subset of Satanism/Freemasonry)
Catholicism (today only found in sedevacantists that recognise there has been no valid Pope since 1958, and all Novus Ordo clergy are invalid and likely Satanists or at best criminally ignorant)
Satanism (it goes by many names: Freemasonry, Rosicrucians, Illuminati, Carbonari, etc etc)
Each has issues and very briefly, and necessarily in extremely summarised format then:
Hinduism: Caste system, hasn’t exactly produced the peaks of human ability or culture, as cow and human dung-filled streets, extreme poverty and disease can readily confirm.
Buddhism: For all that it is generally mostly harmless and rather neat and practical, it has not stood up well to the ravages of more predatory ideologies, the last one that did so was Feudal Japan, and they were defeated.
Islam and Judaism: While they can both be said to have a achieved a certain level of “success” (Islam in the overtaking of the native populations of other cultures by reproduction and having secured some oil fields of global importance, and Judaism by having cornered the global financial machine, and global entertainment and news media) both religions are essentially parasitic, paedophilic and Satanic in their activities. Islam is incapable of maintaining, never mind creating 20th Century infrastructure and technology, never mind 21st Century. They literally buy other people to do it for them, or enslave them, as they did when they took over previously Catholic lands and then the moronic “historians” of today tell us that a lot of the modern stuff like algebra “came from the Arab world”. No. It did not. It came from the Catholics they enslaved in the regions they put to the fire and the sword, as their religion demands of all Infidel lands. While Judaism is essentially in a parasitic and destructive relationship with the gentiles that they see as beasts of burden only fit to be their slave at best. Both religions also permit the rape of children.
Protestantism: Has been incoherent and atomising as well as secularising of actual Christianity (i.e. Catholicism) from the start. With each man essentially being his own “denomination” since each man can interpret at will the scriptures (which have been altered by the very founder of the start of this ridiculous melange of Churchianity, by old maid-raping Martin himself) there is no real community other than the same level of superficial “cohesion” you may have at a social club, which is all that Protestant “Churches” are.
Eastern Orthodoxy: is basically a far more insular and slower version of Protestantism, and as such is far more coherent than any of the above mentioned religions. It tends to be a far more practical than theoretical religion, is close to the original Christianity even if it does not bear the same fruits, did not proselytise much at all, tends to be nationalistically specific to each country, and backstabbed the Catholics that came to rescue them in 1095 for about 200 continuous years, meaning they are certainly not the one true church, but compared to the others above they are certainly far better.
Novus Ordo “Catholicism”: Or Novus Orco, as I call them (the new orcs) are simply the impostors that infiltrated the Catholic Church for the last 250 years (documented) that destroyed the lay arm of the Church in Europe (the Royal Houses and Nobility), formed the first Freemasonic country (the USA) and eventually took over the Papacy in 1958 starting with the demonstrated Freemason Angelo Roncalli. All their clergy are not Catholic by dogmatic Canon Law of the Catholic Church and specifically Canon 188.4 of the inviolable and infallible magisterium of the Church that compiled the Code of Canon Law of 1917, which vetted tens of thousands of documents in order to compile all the actual rules of Catholicism in one volume. This means ALL the Novus Ordo clerics are not Catholic and cannot perform valid sacraments and while the laity that are fooled by them are in error, they do not have fault while they remain ignorant of the usurpation that took place during Vatican II, other than the one of sloth, for not educating themselves about their own supposed religion. In short, the leaders of this fake and impostor Church are really Satanists (and you can tell by their fruits, homosexual orgies in the Vatican, rampant pedophilia, massive bank and financial frauds, etc etc) leading an extremely large number of fooled ignorants to perdition.
Satanism: They are the eternal enemy of Catholics first and foremost, and humanity at large, and go by many, many, many names and permutations, as the saying goes, their name is legion. Mainly Freemasonry in today’s world.
Actual Catholicism (1958 Sedevacantists): While this group is in effect the only one that has held on to the actual Catholic religion in its eternal format, and is reflective of how reality actually works better than any other religion or ideology ever found on Earth, and the fruits of Catholicism prove it, since it formed the most human-supportive and kind, just and true societies known in the entire history of mankind, discovering the true scientific method, creating works of unparalleled beauty in art, architecture, and philosophy, the down side is that their numbers are relatively small (probably no more than a million world-wide) and their religion has been overshadowed by the usurpers who are pretending to be the “real Catholics”. The details of these facts require some reading and time to understand, especially if you have no context of Catholicism to begin with. On the positive side their numbers grow daily and their churches are filled to capacity and more and further, it is young people making children that form the majority of it. Lastly, Catholicism has been in such dire straits before, but has inevitably risen again from its embers (see the Arian Heresy, the Persecution by the early Roman Empire, and so on).
Now, you may say the Amish are pretty coherent, and I would agree. However, the Amish are (like most Buddhists) committed pacifists, which means that when the SHTF, they will not be anything to be reckoned with. they will literally be wiped out.
Catholics, on the other hand have a long history of suffering great injustices patiently, but then fighting back with a ferocity that has been unmatched in success in battle by any other people expect possibly the pagan Spartans, whose empire in any case did not last but a small fraction of the time that the Catholic Church has been around, which is now more than two thousand years old if you count from the year 0.
Now, you may also just decide you will create your “cohesion” by having weekly meetings of the Beer Drinkers Association of Appalachian Rednecks, or whatever, and if so, good luck to you, but what I can tell you from experience is that I have NEVER encountered cohesion and loyalty as I have among Sedevacantist (Catholics). These are people that across time, space and any level of financial and personal hardship, simply help each other and soldier on, while they make a bunch of children unrelentingly.
And I used to work as an armed personal protection guy in a team of people in South Africa, and made life-long friends in various Martial arts clubs around the world. But literally none of those other friendships, that at times involved situations of life and death, even come close to the cohesion I have with people from completely different walks of life that however share their Catholicism with me. In fact, it is true to say that within Sedevacantists, the cultural and racial origins, DO take second place, which everyone would like to pretend happens in many aspects of life, but in reality, is actually extremely rare and confined to individual levels. In Catholicism (Sedevacantism) it is widespread. And more importantly, it is almost impossible to fake being a Sedevacantist. Which makes it difficult to be infiltrated by agents of the Enemy (in their many guises).
This whole long post then, is simply to point out two things:
- You absolutely NEED the coherent and cohesive religion if you are going to have any measure of success in time in the founding a more perfect society (the details of which will be forthcoming in subsequent posts on this topic).
- The best one I found, that models reality accurately, is not prone to schism and includes people that will absolutely stand with you in a foxhole, is proper Catholicism, which is today only found in the 1958 Sedevacantists, the one group that Bergoglio and his minions try to stomp out more than any other religion on Earth. incredible as it is.
So that is the foundation of any improvement you may wish to make in any society. You need to begin with the spiritual. And Catholicism is the only religion that is both absolute in its divine edicts, yet extremely subtle and nuanced in its human laws and the charity and understanding provided for the ever-erroneous human position.
You may disagree, in fact, most people will, without even bothering to educate themselves at all on the topic, because after all, as we are told, “the road to hell is wide and well-travelled”, nevertheless, don’t forget that Catholicism began with eleven scared men and four women and went on to become the largest religion in the world. Like it or not, even if today it is a tiny fraction of the size it was at its peak, it’s stood (and is still standing) the test of time, and its fruits are evident throughout the world.
Any objective betting man or neutral alien that had been observing our planet from afar would very likely bet on Sedevacantism. You will, of course, do as you wish, but them’s the facts.
The Best Book I Ever Read
As some regulars here know, I have read literally thousands of books. This is not an exaggeration or hyperbole. Throughout my teenage years I averaged something like 2-3 books a week. That’s not counting comic books, articles and so on. I spent my pre-teen years going to bed late and reading under my covers with a torch even after I was supposed to be asleep. By age the age of seven I was reading adult crime novels, young adults stuff and so on. Throughout my life I have without a doubt read more than one book a week for at least 40 years, and that is being conservative about it, which would be a minimum of 2,000 books.
I mention all this not to show off, but because it is relevant to the point I am about to make concerning which book I would pick as the absolute best oe in that mountain of reading.
I have many favourites, Go Rin No Sho (this translation by Victor Harris is the best) being just one of many. The Thin Red line is very good too, although I also really liked the film, and in the case of Cloud Atlas I found the film superior to the book, which is very rare. Classics like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (which became the film Blade Runner, but the book is in fact better) are in a sort of class of their own, like The Man in the High Castle (of which the story of how it was written and what Dick concluded about that process is arguably even more interesting than the book itself) because Philip K. Dick is a favourite SF author.
Various History books also have a certain pride of place, although they tend to be few, because over time, I became aware that the history we are taught is quite far from the truth, so finding history books that produce verifiable information has become somewhat of a chore. It takes a lot more effort than simply buying a book and reading it. You now need to try and see if you can actually verify anything in it as being even remotely accurate. The entire story of WWII for example, is so convoluted, full of lies, propaganda and nonsense from all sides that the truth of things may well be impossible to arrive at. What I am almost certain of so far however, is that Hitler almost certainly did not die by suicide in his bunker, but rather in South America somewhere, years later. The other curious fact is that even official Jewish Historians in Israel that work in the Holocaust memorial, today agree that the number of six million dead jews is fictitious. What the real number is, I doubt anyone will ever know. I have seen credible figures of anything from about 300,000 to 500,000 that may well be relatively accurate. What we do know is that the deaths of Jews in Auschwitz was officially reduced from 4 million originally to less than 1 million presently.
Of course, merely pointing these things out has an emotional reaction in some people, perhaps most people, who will think I am some kind of Nazi sympathiser. Which could not be further from the truth, what I am though is a person that prefers the actual truth, however unpalatable it might be, to a well-crafted lie.
So when it comes to history books, I think one needs to be extremely careful as to which ones to believe, as most of them are filled with lies. Lies that are often repeated from generation to generation. In this respect then, I think my own book, The Face on Mars, which deals with a lot more than just the Martian Structures, is actually really quite high on the list, as it brings to the fore a whole bunch of truths about humanity that are inescapable, and also, even nearly 30 years after I wrote it and ten years after I updated it, makes the most coherent argument for the ancient history of mankind that anyone has been able to piece together to date. In that respect then, I do think it deserves first place in the overview of human history category.
However, in terms of a book that may well have the most impact on anyone who reads it in terms of understanding not only some very important aspects of human history, but of humanity itself, as well of reality itself and the ultimate truths of our situation here on Earth, there is one book, that upon reflection, undoubtedly must rise above all others. It is
The Crusades: Iron Men and Saints by Harold Lamb. First printed in 1930, this is a masterful piece of historical fact, having been pieced together by having referred to documents of the times during which the Crusades actually took place.
Although it can be read as simply just a historical record of what took place, which it is, a reader with a little more intelligence would be able to consider the character of the people concerned and what drove them. And once you begin to consider these things, it becomes fairly obvious that despite the usual human motives that undoubtedly existed, there was also an undercurrent of real belief, faith, spiritual truth, that on some level absolutely must also have existed.
Even if you were to relegate that all to some kind of mass psychosis, even at that most atheistic of levels, it would still be an utterly fascinating aspect of humanity; too large and persistent to ignore for anyone that has a minimum of imagination.
And the repercussions of reading that one book, will resonate to some extent or other in the life of anyone who reads it.
My only addition to this recommendation is that if you want to be better able to follow the contextual aspect of the history described in The Crusades, you would probably be better off reading God’s Battalions: The Case for the Crusades by Rodney Stark (who is also a very rare creature, an honest historian!) alongside it, as back in 1930, most people had some idea of the main aspects of the Crusades, something that very few have any reference for today (by design).
Dark Futura Post
You should read the whole thing. It basically discusses the utter catastrophic failure of the modelling of providing a Universal Basic Income to the underclass (which ultimately means everyone but the elite).
We’ve often talked about how the elites typify a detached aristocratic conception of society which treats humans like a string of code to be tweaked and optimized. It’s why their worldview so perfectly aligns with the modern managerial ‘Longhouse’ paradigm of restructuring the natural, unmappable human anima into a sort of antiseptic DMV or HR mode. It also quite snuggly conforms to our materialist age’s mandate of ‘The Science’, sensitivity, and victim culture which aims to reduce human activity to a sterile, programmable state.
This is a literal war of the Technocratic Machine against human nature itself, in all its flawed, unchartable, and impure chaos. It is the imposition of routine over adventure, regulation over mystery, and a mathematically deterministic model of existence over faith, chance, and fate. It’s the destruction of our ancient calling for the sake of a grotesquely misplaced sympathy for abstracted suffering. Rather than let you suffer the agonies of a papercut on your finger, we’ll force you into a medicated ‘safety’ strapped in perpetuity to a gurney in an inoffensively white-walled room.
It’s the epitome of protecting us ‘from ourselves’ for the sake of an increasingly disconnected moral framework.
But in reality, these diversionary half-measures ignore the real root causes of every moral and social issue of our times.
Ultimately, the question of a societal panacea in the form of a UBI drip-feed to keep us half-consciously plugged in to the consumerist-banking-financial panopticon doesn’t even pass the most basic competency assessments.
Primarily: if the whole question of UBI is being brought up due to AI robots eliminating our jobs, then shouldn’t the very same robots provide so much cheap excess labor that prices then consequently plummet in every economic category? The need for a $1,000 monthly check would be obviated by virtue of rent, food, etc., dropping to the equivalent tune of $1,000 owing to robots making those things cheaper.
After all, Sam Altman himself stated:
Altman’s interest in universal basic income is related to his work as CEO of OpenAI—if AI eliminates jobs, could guaranteed cash help workers who lose their income? In 2021, Altman said he believed AI could generate enough wealth to pay every U.S. adult $13,500 a year. “He was definitely thinking about future labor market changes—not just what happens if robots take jobs, but also a recognition of the challenges we’re facing today with distribution of resources and opportunities across the population,” Rhodes says.
Unfortunately, that’s where the Great Lie of our rent-seeking economy rears its head. Production costs have already historically plummeted since the ‘80s with the onset of globalization, but the bonanza of extra profits gained by corporations were absorbed for pure greed, being financialized back into the system via derivatives, stock buybacks, executive pay hikes, etc.
A corporation would never re-circulate excess profit back to the little guy if it didn’t have to. We can only expect the age of AI to drive another bubble to be gobbled up by corpos to fund massive buyouts and mergers until only a few megacorps remain to consolidate their control of the globe.
Some have even proposed futures consisting of ‘gamified’ forms of UBI that will see our daily lives be relegated to the plasticity of a cheap mobile sim.
I said about 30 years ago, in the early 1990s (circa 1993 to 1995) that the average person was so stupid that perhaps they should all just be given VR helmets (they were a possibility of new tech that usually made people vomit when they tried it out), shoved into huge buildings filled with little condos, hook them up to free pornography and computer controlled sex toys and attach intravenous tubes for feeding them glop.
Essentially I had come up with the concept of The Matrix several years before it came out. Perhaps the Elites were spying on me already back then (I was definitely hacked by government level people for my discussing antigravity technology and writing The Face on Mars) and they decided to basically execute that half-joke.
I don’t know where the future is heading but I think it’s gonna get a lot darker before anyone sees any light.
On the other hand, I am hopeful that when the light does come, it will be a cleansing fire, that will rid us of a lot of the Satanists, Freemasons and evil servants of the Enemy.

The Coming Ice Age and Reflecting on Great Men
I have been predicting this (by using science that is actually backed up by observation, instead of political narratives) on this blog, since at least November 2021, as I wrote then:
But of course, my prediction of potential pole shift has been exactly on track since 1995, as explained in the original version of The Face on Mars.
I tell you, honestly, if meritocracy was ever a thing on this planet my ideas and concepts would have already catapulted me into riches and fame my children would not be able to spend in their lifetime. But then again, throughout human history, while occasionally the men that figured out really important stuff or did important things do get eventually some post-humous fame, most remain anonymous and unknown in their own lifetime. Tesla, Leonidas, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and others may have been as close as it gets to getting known for their genius while they lived. People like Harold Aspden, Nikolai Alexandrovich Kozyrev, Burkhardt Heim, and the half dozen or so that were plagiarised by the sexually incestuous, child abandoning, fraud called Albert Einstein, will for most people remain unknowns.
I suspect I will suffer a similar fate, perhaps the stuff I write about now will be seen in the future as “prescient” or “ahead of its time” but in any case I doubt it can ever be allowed to “spread” other than by literal word of mouth of the small pockets of literate people who still read books of some substance.
My grandfather, who was born in 1907, when I saw him one of the last times, in the late 1990s, asked me what The Face on Mars was about. I spent about 2 hours talking to him about the concepts in it and how they all tied together. He interrupted only a few times to ask pertinent questions that I was working towards anyway. At the end of it he asked me how the book was doing. I told him I had managed to sell enough of them by going physically to bookshops and doing signings outside their doors for a day just before Christmas to put a sizeable deposit on a piece of bare land up the West Coast a hundred or so kilometres from Cape Town, in South Africa.
He asked me if it had been picked up by major book distributors. I told him no, despite it having appeared briefly on CNN and a few TV programmes in the USA and UK and on radio in South Africa.
He nodded sagely and said: “That’s what I thought. You were born too early. They might understand this stuff about 200 years from now.”
While most people might feel frustrated by such a view (and from time to time it does bother me a little, but not anywhere near as much as anyone assumes, and in a way that is quite different from the way anyone expects) I was genuinely flattered. My grandfather, who as time passes has grown in my estimation of a man I loved and respected already when he was alive, had not only understood everything I spoke of, anticipated some of it as I was telling him, but given his life experience, had truly grasped its essence in the wider context of the human experience. If I had any regrets it would be of not having said thank you to him for those words. Then again, the Filotto men have never been overly demonstrative with each other. Not for lack of feeling, passion, or some misguided view of propriety; it’s just that we sense things and know. Words often reduce instead of edify.
Anyway, in case you were fooled by the constant idiotic nonsense of “global warming”, I hope that you are finally realising that the most likely future is a very frigid one.
Don’t take my word for it. Look up those links and research that now 35 year old model of weather on Earth modelled on the Sun’s activity (memory-holed though it seems to be after a cursory search) and as always: Know (for) Yourself.
PS: Yes, I realise by the title of this post and what I wrote, that I seem to be placing myself in the ranks of “great men”, but that is not the intent at all. My generally quasi autistic lack of concern about social status simply tends to not process things as most people do, which often results in misunderstandings based on the average normie ego. My point in this post was not about my “greatness” but rather about the overall importance of ideas ahead of their time, and while yes, I had more than a few such ideas, I do not (yet) consider myself in the same category as the men I mentioned, and only time, and probably other people’s eventual objective opinions will determine where I fall in the hierarchy of men who had figured out some relevant things. Probably after I reach the end of my life anyway, so it’s not something I give much importance to either way.
