The Limits of the SSH

If you are new here, the Socio-Sexual Hierarchy (which only applies to men) explained by Vox Day has had a lot of controversy around it and has been criticised, lauded and everything in between.

To be fair to Vox, he was always clear that his SSH was essentially a tool for generally understanding and predicting male behaviour in a social context and that it was fractal; which I think is a word that confuses most people and he might have got the point across somewhat better if perhaps less accurately by saying that it was contextual.

The point is that a guy who is generally an Alpha in most social situations might become a Delta in a situation that is totally unfamiliar to him.

The designation of Sigma has also gone viral to the point of almost absurdity, right up to people trying to ban the use of the word in schools.

There is a fairly exhaustive overview of the whole concept done by Sigma Frame that has some overall decent points to make, even if in some respect they miss the point, due to trying to retain a strictly “Christian” (still heretically Churchian to people like me) perspective, when in reality, the SSH is essentially silent on the topic of religion. The archetypes exist in any religious denomination of any religion under the sun you might care to imagine.

Anyway, the point I wanted to make here is that although it has already been noted that completely “pure” versions of each archetype don’t exist, because humans are messy, there is one aspect of the supposed would-be Alphas/Sigmas that I have noted over the years that is essentially the “chink” in their self-deluded armour.

What I mean here is that genuine Alphas, can and do have various weaknesses, and this is not news, everyone does, but there are certain types of “Alphas” that although would indeed be deemed to be alphas by most people, are in fact, mostly playing a role. A role they have convinced themselves of too mind you, to the point where they may even react unconsciously as the supposed Alpha they are; nevertheless, there remains an undercurrent of self-doubt.

I was recently asked by my friend Tony why I had referred to various people as Sigma-Gamma, Alpha-Gamma, or Omega-Gamma, and so on.

It is a difficult concept to get across, but he understood my attempts and defined it beautifully. Referring to two of these people, who may as well be polar opposites in many ways, yet also share some similarities he said:

It’s like they are both somehow performative caricatures of something… like their own, idealized versions of great men

And that hit the nail on the head.

Now, it was not performative in the rather obvious ways that someone trying to impersonate what they think is an Alpha, or whatever, can be. It was a subtler thing, like for example having a rule about never smiling in photographs taken in public. Or, on a recent podcast I saw, a rather well-known podcaster that seems relatively unassuming and calm, as he espouses relatively hardcore traditional values for men and women, stated he simply does not cry pretty much, ever, even when someone close to him dies. And yes, of course, that is generally true of men, but something about the way he said it set off my “this guy is forcing himself to try and be what he thinks the peak manly-man acts like” radar. I am sure he wasn’t lying, that he does not in fact cry, almost ever. Partly it can also be cultural, but there was an element there of insincerity. Some lack of real connection with his deeper self.

Of course, you can just think I am full of shit and just making assumptions without evidence, but that is not what I am doing. I come to these conclusions only after years of observation and confirming my observations to the point I can predict how these people will react, and do so in a way that goes “off-script” for their supposed archetype (which they tend to be very invested in.)

So, while I may not be able to give you a concise explanation with all the evidence, if you had 30 hours to review events that a specific person took over years of time, and then I can predict for you how they would react to X, Y, and Z in ways that contradict what most people would assume would be their reaction based on all the observations, and if I can do that repeatedly with different people claiming Alpha, Sigma (or more rarely Omega status) Or even who have just been labelled as such by others, then I would say that would be some solid evidence. Of course, I can hardly demonstrate that to you in a blog post, but I live that experience, and have been able to transmit it to others who bothered to try to confirm my observation, and they noted my predictions as correct too, so I know it is valid.

The difference, between what I would call a more genuine, or perhaps more “total” Alpha or Sigma, is a deep level of self-knowledge.

You know how Gammas inevitably recon they are anything BUT Gammas? That’s because at heart, the Gamma is the very antithesis of self-knowledge. These are men who avoid the truth about themselves the way most people would avoid pools filled only with radioactive, rabid, giant eels.

Picture of an actual Sigma, facing one of the minor ugly sides of his real nature.

Sigmas in general are the ones with the most self-knowledge, which is why the opinions of others generally do not affect them very much, if at all. However, when you note a Sigma that repeatedly tells you how much the opinions of other people don’t affect him (and they generally don’t) but then has an obvious reaction when a specific point of fact about him is pointed out, accurately, mind you, not merely accusatorially, well… he may still, generally speaking be a Sigma, but let’s say he’s not a 100% DOC (Di Origine Controllata – That is, of the true 100% quality). And the same goes if he also pretends to not be affected by anything at all, ever, because pretty much everyone has something that pisses them off.

For me, especially 30 years ago, it was mostly being accused of holding views, or internal concepts that I absolutely did not, by people I generally viewed as at least moderately intelligent and/or capable. Today, 30 years later… eh, I realise the stupidity factor of even moderately intelligent and capable people is still waaaaay higher than my young and optimistic self used to hope for. And then Covid, and then the Ukraine war, and the Gaza genocide, and, and, and… has just made it very clear that the fault in my getting upset at their tragic misjudgment of my character or intentions, was the fault of my very own rose-tinted glasses, wild, wild, optimism about humanity as a whole, and some misguided desire of wanting to believe that, surely, if only I could lay out the facts before them… they too would be able to see…

So, today, if they are too stupid to figure out the basics, I will not waste any time trying to correct them or “help” them. But that is not to say I am unreactive to almost everything.

My daughter tells me enthusiastically about some absolutely trivial thing she did, or found out, or thought of at school, or some observation she makes that is probably obvious to bacteria on Mars on some level, and it could be easy to simply let it wash over me and not respond or react to any of it.

However, doing so would crush her enthusiasm for life, and as such would be a bad thing. I try to put myself in her young mind and think, why would she find this fascinating or interesting, and how did I think about it at her age? And as she is on the cusp of becoming a young woman, the pattern it paints is mostly still rather… well, as man, imagine being in a giant shopping centre of just women’s shoes. And having to follow your female relative around as she waxed poetic about every pair she wanted to try on, and did. It’s kind of like that. About 3rd level of Hell in Dante’s Inferno.

So I amuse myself by seeing if I can at all nudge her train of thought into something mildly more interesting.

“Oh you like the lacquer on those? I see… I think lacquer used to be made from tree sap. And possibly bug paste to give it colour.”

“What?!??!”

“Yeah, shiny bug guts under polished resin. Phenomenal stuff.”

“Wait… I don’t believe you, I’m googling it!”

“You know google is just a CIA Psyops to keep the truth from you, right? The truth is not in google. You need to find a book on lacquer printed before 1842. Original only, because they corrupt the digital and new print versions. Like Roald Dahl’s books.”

“I Don’t care about lacquer that much dad, and I don’t care who Rodney Doug was, or whatever.”

“Roald Dahl. He wrote Little Red Riding Hood, the story. You know, where she has a pistol in her knickers.”

“Oh DAD! Little Red Riding Hood didn’t have a pistol in her knickers! I know that story, remember, I used to tell you about it, when I was little.”

“Google it.”

“Oh come on, I…”

“Google it.”

(huffs, types in phone… reads…) “Wait… what?”

“See? Now what pistol do you think it was? Probably a low calibre, right?”

And so you see, terminal brain death narrowly avoided once more.

Of course, that’s my daughter and I love her. 99.99999% of the rest of the planet that tried to subject me to that, I would find an excuse to get away, or possibly murder them and get rid of the body, if they insist.

But my point is that Self-Knowledge is ultimately the total measure of a man. A man that truly, deeply, knows himself for example to be a coward, and say, accepts it, is someone that I have more respect for than one who fancies himself a hero, maybe even acts as one in many situations, but in reality, perhaps even not fully known to what extent even to himself, he is, in fact, a coward.

It’s not that I necessarily think of him as evil, or intentionally deceitful (though some are) it’s just that I can’t take him all that seriously when he clearly is not even familiar with himself at any real depth.

So, when considering the SSH and what generic category a man may fall in more than another, remember that not only is that archetype at least partially and sometimes almost wholly, contextual, but just like there are always more stupid people than you can possibly imagine, there is also just a lot more Gamma fragments in far more people than you imagine. Including… terrifyingly… possibly… yourself.

But the only way to know for sure, friend, is to actually look under the proverbial bed.

Then get under there, armed with a sharp knife in your teeth, swim down to the monsters under there, and face them.

Live RPG Game Saturday 28th

This will be at 9pm Rome Italy time (3pm EST; 2pm CT) on my livestream. The reason I am doing this, after a fairly long absence from YouTube is because I have finally cut out a little time for it, but mostly because the modern generation seems completely lost with regards to playing pen and paper games and it’s honestly kind of sad.

Although this is not the same as playing live IRL, at least you should get a sense of the fun that can be had. The reason I think this is important were explained in this post I did about how no one realised how useful pen and paper RPGs were… until now.

So I hope you will come along and see it, the chat will be live and we hope that the rural internet will allow the 3 players and myself to run the game smoothly. Hopefully it will work. And hopefully you will see how funny and useful it can be, even if the setting is a little removed from reality, the point is that you should manage to appreciate the camaraderie, problem solving, and general hilarity that happens in really any game of this sort.

The setting will be the Dirty Old West RPG, which is literally £5 in PDF format you can print and staple together at home, so it will not break the bank. The edition in digital format linked to above has a slight update on the task resolution which is not yet appearing on the Amazon paper version, so if you want to follow along and know how the game works, get the digital version.

The mechanics are a simplified version of the ones used in Surviving the Current Zombie Apocalypse, which is available as a full colour interior on Amazon or also in PDF at the E-store, and also has a Module to introduce the game.

The reason we picked the Dirty Old West system for this livestream is that the rules are simple to learn and understand, the entire booklet is only some 31 pages and includes character sheets you can copy, innate abilities, skills and all the rules for doing things, shooting, healing, and so on.

While the system is simple and easy to learn and only requires two six-sided dice to play, the mechanics of it are pretty realistic and could be said to be “gritty”. In other words, if your character acts stupidly and rushes into danger as if he was on the set of an old A-Team TV programme (look it up you young whipper-snappers) where hails of bullets never even gave anyone a flesh wound, he is likely to go down like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid at the end of the film.

A little twist is that although the game is nominally set in the Wild West, nothing, and I mean nothing, prevents you from adding a little weirdness. You could, for example, re-enact the film Cowboys and Aliens, with only a little imagination. So you can keep it strictly “realistic”, or make it “possibly” a little “supernatural” (keep your players guessing, which adds a dimension of superstition and FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt) which invariably means your players will make some hilarious assumptions with equally hilarious, tragic, or stupendous consequences), or you can just make it quite absurdist too, though I don’t recommend that, especially for first time players.

In order to make the game enjoyable for spectators too, I will post the map, and possibly the player characters on this blog, the day of the game, so anyone interested can follow along.

As a spectator, my hope is that you will enjoy seeing how it all works and want to create your own little gaming groups with real people around a real table, and play face to face. There are MANY reasons why this is a good thing.

First it undoes some of the isolationism we have all been subjected to in the last 4 years.

Second it creates human dynamics in real life which help socialise you in other contexts too.

Third, it forces your imagination to work, which is a VERY needed thing, especially among Gen Z. They have been so brainwashed by TV, the internet in general and the general Zeitgeist that they struggle to even imagine freedom. Although RPGs can be seen as “escapism” it is a constructive form of it. You need to participate in the creation of the story and things that happen in it.

Fourth, I designed the RPG Surviving the Current Zombie Apocalypse, precisely to start to get you to play through various hypotheticals you could design that might happen in the real world in the case of serious economic crashes, war, etc. actually happening. And in case you did not know, modelling wars is very serious business. In other words, actual real militaries around the world pretty much “play” out potential scenarios in conference rooms. Admittedly a bit more advanced than pen and paper RPGs, but the concept is the same. It forces you and the opponent to face various hypothetical situations and have to work out solutions, sometimes to seemingly impossible problems.

So I really hope to revive this hobby in at least a percentage of younger people. I plan to play these games with my children too, and my older daughter already has been exposed to it and not only enjoys it, but she comes up with hilarious, unexpected, and usually very intelligent solutions, including ones I had not foreseen or expected. I can’t wait to see what the younger ones will do in a few years.

Sedevacantism vs Sedeprivationism

For the TL;DR version just scroll to the bottom and watch the most excellent video on this topic.

This is not the first time I approach this topic:

Very detailed Post on it (weaponised Autism level).

The second post on it. More direct and clear.

And I was always clear on the fact that even if I used the term Sedeprivationism originally, I was clear in my 2020 book Reclaiming the Catholic Church that I was using the term completely differently from what most people that call themselves Sedeprivationists do.

I (being elitist in my linguistics) was referring merely to the etymology of the word. Strictly speaking, Sede Vacante is Latin for Empty Chair Which is shorthand for there is no valid Pope. However, strictly speaking, the chair is not empty. it is filled with an impostor, never-was-Catholic, Satanist and protector of pedophiles on Earth, currently Bergoglio. And this illegal and usurping occupation prevents a real and valid Pope from filling it. Hence Sede Privationist, a mixture of Latin and English. The usurper is Jorge Bergolgio is preventing the legitimate occupation of the chair of Peter.

But of course, by absolute divine law, codified in the Canon Law of 1917, which in no way cancels the perennial Papal encyclical of Pope Paul IV titled Cum Ex Apostolato Officio* but in fact refers to it, it is every single adherent to the Novus Ordo (I call them Novus Orco — the New Orcs) “clergy” too that is ALSO not a Catholic at all, but in fact an enemy of the Church. The Satanists have made this sound very complicated, but it exceedingly simple to understand. A child gets it.

You cannot be Pope if you are not Catholic, and you cannot be Catholic if you promote, promulgate, and espouse concepts that go against the Catholic faith (which is ENTIRELY codified and therefore logically consistent and clear) and act in ways that go against it too and call yourself a Catholic. When you do this publicly, notoriously and repeatedly, it becomes clear you are simply NOT a Catholic. End of. It would be like me calling myself a leader in the sport of golf. I can say what I want. I can dress like a golfer, I can even get some clubs and go tearing up a golf course, but since my golfing ability is nil, never having done it even once, absolutely no one sane would ever take note, care, or listen to anything I am saying about golf. Nor should they.

The sedeprivationist position ORIGINALLY, when it was first presented in the late sixties or early 70s, by the noted and well-respected Dominican theologian, father Michel-Louis Guérard des Lauriers, who was later made Bishop, it was a potentially if very temporary charitable “way out” for all the traitorous and cowardly “clergy” that did not immediately reject the false “elected” and Freemasonic enemies of the Church, Roncalli and Montini and their Satanic Vatican II heresies. It was a (VERY charitable) way to say:

“Okay, look, maybe you guys were asleep at the wheel, your weak and cowardly natures, coupled with the long-standing tradition to simply obey what you consider to be your superiors, made you “vote” or “elect” this obvious at best apostate, at worst sworn enemy of the Church as “Pope”, but come on, it’s fairly obvious what he and his predecessor were, so let’s get back on the right track, find the right way to get together and kick his heretic ass out of the Vatican and put back in a real Pope.”

And that, of course was the error on which the Freemasons and infiltrators of the Church have relied on for at least the last 250 years to infiltrate and corrupt it to the point that we have not had a valid Pope since 9th October 1958, and what people think is the Catholic Church is in reality, just another branch of Satanic fake Churchianity. The error being that devout Catholics got complacent and started to “give the benefit of the doubt” and “respectfully” not question supposed “leaders” in the Church.

The Satanists ALWAYS appeal to your kinder, charitable, more forgiving nature in order to insidiously enter your home, like snakes, and poison everything and everyone in it. That is probably why God also allows ornery, unagreeable, rude, too-direct, pains-in-the-ass like me to exist.

My misanthropic tendencies aside, the reality is that my ability to reason and do correct logic and dialectic are far above those of the average person and also the average nominal cradle “Catholic” that thinks he or she is Catholic but has never once even asked themselves what being Catholic means, has no idea what the Code of Canon Law of 1917 is, has never even read ONE of the 16 documents of Vatican II, and could not tell you who Roncalli was and why he was invalidly elected to usurp the rightful place of Giuseppe Siri who HAD been validly elected. Twice.

And no, my simply and boldly stating this fact out loud is NOT a matter of personal pride. It’s just not false humility, which too is not a virtue. It’s just a fact, and despite dozens of Freemasons trying to “poke holes” in any of my arguments, they have all utterly failed, which is why some of my work has in fact resulted in people realising the truth and coming back to the real Catholic Church.

However, all of this, if you care enough (you should if you call yourself a Catholic, since your belief in God should be extremely important to you) requires quite a bit of reading. The details in RTCC that I put together are undeniable and in the last 4 years not a single valid argument has been made against any of the information and details I presented in that book. Not one. People have lied, people have misrepresented and straw manned the arguments, but no one has been able to engage with them honestly and people who had no dog in the fight but took the time to look at my arguments and compare them with the “criticisms” have, without exception, even when not Catholic, understood that given the base premises of Catholicism, my arguments are the only ones that hold water.

Now, I am not writing this to tell you what a good and perfect Catholic I am. Or how smart and handsome I am. Think of me as badly as you like, its fine, but engage with the arguments I make, if you will.

As I wrote in BELIEVE! a much shorter book that is far easier to read and more popular, I am not a particularly a good Catholic. But I am an earnest one. And I absolutely have the temperament to NOT keep quiet, when someone, regardless of who he is lies or talks logical nonsense with respect to the truth. Pretty much in any area I am knowledgeable of, but absolutely and particularly in respect of Catholicism.

All that said, however, and if you would rather digest the list of the Sedevacantism vs Sedeprivationism argument in video format, I have not come across a better short form version than the one below. I do, of course, have a whole series on it on Kurgan TV, along with some other very interesting and unrelated topics (the face on mars, the lies of history, etc etc) topics totalling some 160 hours of video.

In short, the entire theory of Cassiciacum, or the “official” position of Sedeprivationism is simply not logically tenable or valid. The only valid position is that of Sedevacantism. Or, in fact, of being Catholic.

The position and even name of “Sedevacantism” sounds complicated and convoluted thanks to the efforts of the Satanists that have usurped the Church, so it is probably more effective to simply say that:

I am Catholic, not Novus Orco.

* It is in fact referred to in Canon 188, of which part 4 makes absolutely clear that all the non-Catholic clergy currently squatting illegally in the Vatican are not Catholics but at best heretics, and given the time lapse, currently probably actually full blown freemasons Satanists

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:

  1. 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).
  2. 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 Bitterness of the Hags

Today, on SG, a brief and rather comical event reminded me that it is important for men, especially married ones with children, should be aware of the bitter, wall-smashed hags that will orbit their happy family with the evil intent to destroy it, merely to satisfy their Satanic ego.

The “argument” started because one such fat, very much post-wall hag, took exception to my simple statement that the reason we are in the current situation Church wise, is essentially because we stopped running heretics through with swords, as St. Luis suggested we should.

The point was made as a rhetorical corrective to a gentleman that had admitted giving people who do not deserve it (because they are deceivers and liars) the benefit of some charity. In this specific case, he was referring to the known liar and demonstrable deceiver, Jay Dyer, on which you can simply avail yourself of this 3 hour long proof (which I tried to make entertaining too) if you care enough to do so.

Being retarded, stupid, and thinking she now “had me on the ropes” She promptly rushed to make the accusation I was calling for the murder of protestants. It’s about the level of intellect you expect to deal with when it comes to these creatures. She of course did no such thing and her lies and idiocy was promptly and correctly nuked by one of the mods, which is as it should be on that platform.

There is now the minor issue of explaining for any wandering retards why my comment is not the advocacy for murder of non-Catholics, which I will address now, because as always, I am a kind and charitable person that hopes some of these absolute morons will be struck by lightning and grow 50 IQ points to put them in “normal range”, but please keep in mind this is not the point of this post. It’s a distraction from it.

The Catholic Church, as part of its unchanged dogma throughout its existence has ALWAYS made it clear that you are not to convert anyone by force, nor is it acceptable to try and kill people that disagree with Catholicism. HOWEVER, and there is a however, an important one. A Buddhist or a Muslim, or an Agnostic or even an Atheist going about minding their business is one thing, but a HERETIC, is quite another. A Heretic, by definition, is someone that professes, promotes and promulgate falsehoods about Catholicism. To make it personal, because morons only think on the solipsistic level, it’s one think if someone goes around thinking you are an assholes and has all sorts of wrong ideas about you. It’s another if they start accusing you falsely of being a wife-beater or a cheating slut that lies to her husband about her affairs and so on. In the first instance, you can absolutely ignore the person, and even be unaware of their ideas and existence. In the second, they are now a lying scumbag that needs to be punished for their lies.

Now, let’s take another example. Closer to the point. I absolutely do NOT like Islam or Judaism as religions, they are demonstrably pedophelic in nature along with many other issues I have with them, but I do not lie about their belief systems or activities. I simply document them and explain why I do not like them.

Heretics on the other hand, demonstrably lie and make false accusations about Catholicism. This is not difficult to see, verify or understand, In fact anyone honest can do so. Including convinced Protestants like Rodney Stark who wrote a whole book on some of the major lies that Protestants have been telling about Catholicism, in his excellent book, Bearing False Witness.

In what was Catholic Christendom, blasphemy laws were in effect for a long time, and it has been only to the detriment of civilisation that the Freemasonic infiltrations have removed most such laws from most countries (Italy still has some). The point being that there absolutely should be a severe punishment for defamation and calumny against a religion. Especially when ALL the rules of such a religion, ALL the dogmas of it, are set down in writing, in plain, simple, logical ways to understand according to Roman Law. Catholicism fulfils all of these criteria.

Protestantism does not, because the entirety of their only rule is basically “Interpreth as thou will”, which is absolutely a Satanic standard. Different denomination among their 40,000 ones (to be generous, because in reality since each one of them can and does interpet as they want it’s more like 900 million denominations, one per person) will tell you they so do have a standard, and promptly disagree with each other within minutes of you asking them to define it clearly, even among their own supposed congregation.

Again, making an analogy, I do not subscribe to Islam, I think it is a Satanic inspired religion and the best of the Muslims are simply seriously deceived people, like the Novus Ordo “Catholics”, but all that said, if I ever get hit by lightning and decide to visit Saudi Arabia, I will educate myself on their rules and laws and will follow them for my duration of the visit. And if I break any of them, I fully expect to be punished according to their laws, including having my head cut off if it reaches that point. This is really not difficult to understand.

If the relevant punishments for blasphemy in the Catholic Christendom had been fully retained in their most severe form, I am absolutely certain that the Novus Ordo Satanic Cult would not have been able to cause as much damage to Catholicism as it has. Again, this is not hard to understand, and really should not require the above 7 paragraphs to grasp, but retards gonna retard, and as I said, I am charitable. But all the above is beside the point.

In this specific case, while I chuckled at the seething chubby, I wondered, how does one of these creatures devolve to this level? As a natural scientist, I am curious about all sorts of weird and disgusting animals and life cycles, and while I readily admit that the study of strange insects is far more interesting and entertaining, the pondering of how the post-wall hags of fatness come to be, is probably more relevant to general human happiness.

If we can reduce their number or get rid of them entirely, the world can only become better. And for the retards, no, it is not a suggestion we gas them en masse, no matter how hypothetically entertaining the idea might be, but rather, the hope is that if we can discover the main mechanism by which these disgusting and unpleasant noxious beasts form, we may be able to prevent them from forming from na early age. Of course, the existing ones are beyond help, short of truly divine intervention on a grand scale, so this is not in the hope of “healing” these parasitic, oxygen thieves and noxious creatures, but merely to study and understand their undead “life cycle”.

Of course, brutal feminism must be at the core, as readers here will know, feminism is a terrible and pestilential thing introduced for the very purpose of destroying the nuclear family, and its evils are broad and deep and devastating, so we know that much.

Secondly, these creatures are generally unpleasant to look at as well, which inevitably results in their being mostly shunned by all but the most desperate of men, and as any man that has lived on Earth for a sufficient time while rooted in reality, the absence of both sex in general, as well as real affection renders women practically toxic and insane. It does it to men too, but in a less socially destructive way, aside the occasional mass shooting. the damage the post-wall toxic fattie does to society is subtler but far more extensive and pervasive and constant.

Like vampires, they perpetuate the lies of feminism at every opportunity, modulating it from soft whispers to strident squealing depending on their target. But this is just their permanent radiation. they also infiltrate families, usually by the pretence of being a “kind and loving” aunt, family friend, grandma, mother-in-law, and so on, whose only aim is to “help” and “improve” the targeted family unit. They inevitably do this by essentially becoming the homunculus on the shoulder of the wife and mother of the household and then proceed to metaphorically shit in their ear and brain in a Chinese water torture fashion. Gossiping, maligning, subtly at first and more directly later, the husband, the wife’s life and situation (which is inevitably never her choice but the oppressive enforcement of it by her evil husband, and so on and on, and on). She will malign and “correct” things to your wife and children without hesitation.

Women being social creatures, if your wife is not an uncommonly strong-minded and logical person, it is quite common that this noxious and sulphuric stench, seeps gradually into their brains until they come out with one or more of the various feminist narratives as being wholly true or even remotely applicable to them. Suddenly, from being a happy wife and mother they will gradually go to becoming a weakened, self-doubting, unhappy, “oppressed” woman at the “mercy” of an “overbearing”, “possessive”, “narcissistic” and “controlling”, “gaslighting”, evil husband. While the entire truth of the matter is that life is hard and shit happens, and you should just get down to it and get on with it while supporting each other as husband and wife against all the lies, slings and arrows the entire world sends your way pretty much constantly. And within your fortress of a marriage, make it as happy and content and loving as you can, while you keep making the moat around it deeper and shark-infested, and firing your cannons of truth at all the attempting invaders.

But what drives these human wreckage to do this? Invariably, without a single exception, it is because their own lives are so absolutely miserable. And in the truest foundational aspect of feminism, they will do everything they can, to reduce every woman, and especially married ones with children, to their own miserable, single or post-wall and post-divorce, misery.

And for that there is no excuse. Such creatures invariably also decry their own past victim status, whether it is real or imagined, as if it were some kind of excuse for their own toxic behaviour, but it never is.

I have known personally both men and women that were raped as children and did not become bitter, destructive human beings. Quite the contrary in fact. And I have known personally people that suffered horrible things. One of the kindest women I got to spend a little time with revealed she had been not only abused in childhood, but also gang-raped, stabbed and left for dead. She still had the stab scars on her body. Terrible things happen to all of us on some level and certainly some are far worse than others, but they are never an excuse for your own shitty behaviour. We do have free will (despite what protestant Calvinists necessarily believe if they could o any logic whatsoever and understood the consequences of their much loved “predestination”), so ultimately, how we behave, is on us.

Whatever their reasons, such creatures will never accept the factual reality that Catholic patriarchal society has created the best possible situation for human beings than any other religion or culture ever has on planet Earth. While you can criticise individuals and even (valid) Popes throughout the history of Catholicism, you simply cannot avoid the fact that following its infallible laws and dogma, created and creates, the best possible situation human beings have ever experienced. It’s not even close to ANY other religion or ideology. There simply is no comparison. Not in duration in terms of time, nor in terms of artistic, architectural, but most important of all, sociological achievements that are truly positive, and not just “progressive” which is now essentially code for Satanic.

And in case you doubt it, please understand the original “debate” on SG was prompted by a meme that Vox, who is NOT a Catholic, shared on his blog that nevertheless makes the point succinctly and utterly unavoidably. I reproduce it here below for your own contemplation in light of the above.

Advice to Sub-Optimal Men

This Xeet prompted this post.

Note the 27,000 reposts, and in case the writing is too small, here are the 4 images the commenter “Myka” does not give any fucks about at all.

Now my general feeling on this sort of thing is that the men who whine about this just need to grow a pair. Or not, and die without reproducing, with any luck.

And of course that no man at all should ever reproduce in any fashion, or even have any sex, whatsoever, indeed ANY involvement at all with women like Myka. If men followed this sensible advice, within about a month, the entire world would be aflame with how all men are evil and so on. After about a year, feminists would have almost died out, and after a decade the only feminists left would be in mental institutions for the unfortunately insane.

But I am trying to be more compassionate and understanding to those men that have been already crushed by life, their single mothers, or whatever. Maybe you’re a short, hairy goblin with nothing going for you. And it would be unfair for me to simply tell you to “man up” if you understand that in the context of you being able to marry a supermodel not being possible only because of your lack of confidence.

So let me spell things out.

Absolutely you need to change what you can. Get fit, make sure you are always clean, dress better, shave or laser your over-hairy ass, improve your job prospects and career, and so on. Sure, do all of that, but above all, the ONE thing you absolutely CAN do is fish in your level.

As a man you should be able to be brutally objective. So first fix all you can reasonably fix. Then give yourself a fair rating.

Personally, even when I had hair, i never rated myself above a 7 or so, even if objectively I knew that for a not insignificant number of women I was definitely at least an 8 in looks. And in ambition and what I was doing in life, again, for any woman overly concerned about material wealth I have fluctuated from a 2 to an 8 and in some cases a 9, but any woman that understood my nature at all was more liable to rate me a 6 or at most a 7. What I always had in spades however was an unflinching dedication to simply be me. Regardless of what anyone else thought of it. And that, at least temporarily, despite all my other numbers being lower or even much lower, made me at least an 8 and often an 8.5 or even 9.

I provide all the different metrics because unlike men, women do not rate us simply on looks.

It is not a councidence that most of my girlfriends, and certainly all the ones I was interested in to some more or less serious degree were invariably rated at least as 8s by men that generally had been successful with women and often as 9s and rather often as 10s by all the men who had been more averagely successful with women. Many a time I have been told by literally dozens of co-workers from multiple companies, that I was “punching above my weight” and more than once at various large company Christmas parties I was noticed by literally the entire firm, including the owners who would act deferentially to me despite me being merely one of the several people at my level they employed.

I have literally had random strangers stop me and a woman I was with in the street to congratulate me for the beauty of the woman I was with. And even today, I get friends who, without in any way saying this to “get in my good graces” rave about my wife.

I am not telling you this to depress you or show off.

I am trying to explain to you an important point that if you can internalise it will aid you in your quest for a genuine, long term companionship, marriage and a family more than any other single thing you can do.

The reason I did so well, was because I correctly evaluated all my metrics and played to my strengths. And my strengths are absolutely real, forged in the deepest fire of personal self-knowledge.

I have turned down large amounts of money, very hot women, and all sorts of other things in order to not do anything that would compromise my own sense of integrity. So, bending to some temporary whim of a pretty woman was never in the cards for me. This, of course, has the effect of immediately seeing off pretty much any woman who is not a full blown psychopath/narcissist but has those tendencies. Their need for some form of manipulative control over the man (victim?) they select simply drives them crazy when faced with someone of my temperament.

On the plus side, normal women wired in a healthy way, tend to be attracted to that level of confidence (so do all the pretty but damaged ones, which brings up another set of problems we won’t go into here).

The point is that deep and true self-knowledge is always the key. That is step one. Step two is to improve all you can, but it is step three that is the absolute silver bullet insofar as one exists:

Look in your own range.

It would probably be difficult for a guy that is 5’5”, has the genes of predisposition to fatness, is born poor and has a single mother raising him, to have the same level of hard-headed conviction I seem to have been born with. And I absolutely believe part of it is due to my Aspergers, which does not present as such due to high IQ and the luck I had in my rather unusual early life. But the point is that if I had been born in that body but retained my mental attitude, I would probably have been comfortably married a lot sooner, have more children and my friends would rave about how kind and pleasant my wife is. And she would probably be a 6 or maybe a 7 at most. Because that is where I would fall overall if you removed the physical advantages I have.

But let’s say you are overall just a 2.

I actually know people like this. Literal cripples with disfiguring handicaps, no real money or any special prospects. And yet both the ones I know personally are happily married and have been for years. One studied hard, became a lawyer, made money, then travelled to the East and essentially “bought” a filipino wife, being brutally honest with her. He really is about a 2 and she is about a 5 or at most a 6. But his overall number is probably a 4. He is wealthy. And the difference between a possible 4 and 6 is his level of self-knowledge. When I first met him and we spoke a bit he simply stated exactly what I said above and his wife was present. They had been married and living in London for over ten years. He praised her for being loyal and helping look after him. Maybe she was more nurse than wife. Maybe there was a financial arrangement we know nothing of. But his wife did not look or present as miserable and neither did he.

The other guy is married to a woman that also has some physical handicaps. They clearly love each other, have been together for decades and she is a very kind and decent person no one can say a bad word about.

The point is that both men went after a woman within their own numbers.

As did I. And let me tell you that the search at the lower end of the pool, once you accept this truth, is FAR easier than at the “pretty” end of the pool.

The reason was well known to me even decades ago, as is evident by one of my very first posts back in 2007 in a now permanently parked ancient blog (Take note of the relevant image here.)

And has been known by men worldwide at least since the days if the crazy/hot matrix of the early 1990s.

So. Do not despair. It’s only 4 simple rules:

1. Fix what you can fix externally (looks, hygiene, clothing, income, etc.)

2. Chose who you are internally. Learn and know deeply who you really are, so no matter the situation, you will almost always already know how you will react to it. If you are mot how you wish to be yet, do whatever you need to do to become it.

3. Rate yourself honestly in all categories and hence in the overall number you are and then go fish in the pond of your own level.

4. Do not despair. Just correct any errors and persevere.

That’s it.

If you want more detail and context you might also want to get Caveman Theory, but honestly if you just do the 4 steps above, you will eventually succeed.

And never forget point n. 4.

On Epic World-Building…

Vox had an interesting post about the number of characters in epic fantasy novels and why this is the fundamental reason that the fat, boomer, George Rape Rape Martin will not finish his excretable fantasy saga before his heart pops and he dies.

I am not a fan, I found his books unreadable, and the very basis of his writing to be foul beyond words. it is the antithesis of why I read any fiction. Fiction should have something of the heroic in it. it can be a noir, it can be gritty, harsh, all of the above, but without some sense of the good, some numinous influence towards higher things, what is the point. the nihilist emo-goths that only want to write about rotting flesh and despair can all die in nuclear fire for my money.

Anyway, this is not about G Rape-Rape Martin and his crappy writing and even worse philosophy, but about the hard-core fact that go towards building an epic sized story.

Now I don’t write epic fantasy novels. I have done a couple of divertimentos in the Inferos Vortex books, and maybe one day they may add up to a decent sized book, but I am not sure if they qualify as fantasy. They tend to be a mix of quasi-horror, gritty gun stuff, some dark humour and a splash of science fiction “technology”.

What I have written, and God willing will also continue eventually, is epic Science Fiction. Nazi Moon clocks in at 827 pages, and since Vox made me thing about how many main characters I have, and I keep notes (so many notes, you have no idea how autistic I get about my SF world-building) I went to check, and over that length, I have some 63 characters, but several are just one-time appearances and others temporary ones, because I like to give some credence and personality even to the “extras” on my mental film set.

When it comes to primary characters I have about 15, which sounds like a lot, and there are about an equal number of secondary or lesser characters that have repeat appearances, but then, in truth, I am only half-way. I do plan to write three more books in that series. When I will get to them I do not know, but if I don’t die in the apocalypse first, I will finish them.

Becoming a PC in an NPC World

Those of you who have read this post, may better understand this one.

Part of the reason this blog exists, is my insane level of optimism in the hope that is helps a few people improve themselves and perhaps stave off the total annihilation of thinking humans in the ongoing zombie apocalypse that we are currently in. Some argue the Zombie Apocalypse is 4 years old, but I have known it was essentially a Cold War ongoing pretty much since I was alive.

In fact, in the hopes of showing a few Zoomers or Ten Alphas the way, I even put out an actual RPG with a module, just in case the few of them that can still read instead of watch videos, might teach a few friends how to meet in real life and play a game together that provides fun, entertainment, and develops the imagination and your ability to solve real life problems, thanks to having to use your head to solve imaginary, or thought experiment ones.

But the general point is that my intent, insofar as I may have one, is to try to uplift whatever shrinking percentage of the population still exists that has understood we are the last stand of actual humans with a soul, and the brainwashed masses of idiots around us, led by evil pedophiles, are really quite likely to overwhelm us if we do not get organised, band together, and build fortress cities from which to stave them off.

There are so many facets of life that one needs to become aware of, from the evils of government and government-ran education, the sell-outs who aim to become the leaders, the corruption of everything from the basic morals of humanity to the lowest employee, and so on.

How to present a coherent whole easy to digest? And then it was clear:

No analogy of modern existence is as useful in terms of representing in a secular fashion the times we live in, than the parallel with pen and paper Role-Playing Games of old, like Dungeons and Dragons, Traveller, Top Secret, Car Wars, and so on.

Why? Well, allow me to explain, especially for those of you that never played them, which I expect is the sad, depressed, and depressing, majority of readers here.

In a game like Dungeons and Dragons, it was understood, that even a lowly first level, brand new adventurer, was a unique and rare individual. Most people in the D&D worlds, were simple shop-keepers, farmers, town soldiers, traders, merchants, and so on. Only the mildly insane, the idiotically brave, the wildly and untamed foolishly adventurous would wander about a world that is filled with marauding hordes of Goblins, Orcs, and Gnolls. Where werewolves, and Vampires, and Ghouls, and Zombies actually exist. Where magic is real and so are curses and spells that can channel in literal demons from other planes of existence.

And yet… every player made up a character and played that character. Those were the “people” who made the stories happen. Those were the only “people” that really made it worthwhile to be in such a world.

Life is not dissimilar.

When I was 16 I went to study in England for my A-Levels (which is not what you porn addicts thing it is, it was the last 3 years of school or so before you can go to university, after )-Levels, which is ALSO, not some perverse sex thing). I found the people there, in the supposed civilised West, to be far more retarded, limited and dumb than they had any excuse to be. While it is true I went to school in Africa where my parents paid fees, this was pretty much the case for almost all expatriates. And we did 7 to 9 exams for various subjects, like history, mathematics, geography and so on. In England the school I went to, had students that on average did 3. Things like English (their own language, Geography, and maybe History). One of the girls who did take Geography on my first few days there, asked me where I was from. I explained I was Italian but had spent most of my life in Africa. Her question:

“Africa? Oh… What’s the Capital of Africa?”

To which, astonished, I responded sarcastically:

“I don’t know, what’s the capital of Europe?”

Her: “The capital of Europe? I’m not sure… London… isn’t it London?”

One of the other girls came to her rescue, explaining Africa was a continent, not a country.

Nor was this experience unique. The level of education was poor, to be kind about it, but the level of inactive grey matter inside their thick skulls was far worse.

I recall trying to spark some reaction, a thought, an imagination, something, in one of the other students, who was asking me about my life and I asked him about his dreams and aspirations in turn. His reply?

“Oh, well, I’d like to probably get married some day, have a couple of kids, would be nice to have two cars…”

Again, I was aghast. I responded saying:

“Man, that is what happens if you do absolutely nothing. I mean, don’t you want to drive a Ferrari? or sail the world on a seventy-foot trimaran with an all female crew?”

His response?

“Oh that stuff only happens in the movies.”

To which I could not help but tell him:

“Well, yes, with your attitude, that is absolutely true for you.”

Now, I didn’t particularly ever care about driving a Ferrari, although I did briefly think a seventy foot trimaran would be awesome to own and I even tried to buy one once, not having sailed a day in my life and not having the money for it either. And I figured if I ever got one, I’d have got the all female crew along the way without too much trouble.

Now that I am older, I know I was right about getting the all-female crew, but the ship would have sunk at sea on its first outing with no survivors.

Again, my point is not that I was ever obsessed by making a lot of money, or achieving any particular thing, other than perhaps a proficiency in martial arts and the general ability to be able to adapt and survive pretty much regardless of circumstances.

Mostly I went after things that interested me, read about stuff that I found fascinating, like astronomy, and physics, and chemistry. Tried to see the weird and strange. understand the natural world around me, and when I could find one, tried to interact with people that I deemed at least somewhat interesting. In short, if you had to reduce me to a character class from Advanced D&D, I would probably have fit the description of a Ranger. Maybe Chaotic Good or Neutral Good. In Basic D&D I might have been a Mystic. Obsessed with achieving martial perfection in hand to hand and following a sense of the mystic in life, while able to do a lot of what some other classes could achieve only by over-specialisation (thieves) or magic (healing hands of Paladins).

As a result, like a typical PC, my life has been anything but boring. I have had tragic life events and astonishingly beautiful ones. I have seen and done things most men will not do or see, and both great pain and great joy comes with that, but above all, my most certain strength has been my absolutely thorough knowledge of myself.

The oracle at Delphi (which I visited, and saw myself) did say:

Man, know yourself.

And truly, that is the most important thing in life. But most men have very little idea of who they really are. Because unless you are actually faced with the prospect of death, bankruptcy, having your heart emotionally ripped out of your chest and stomped on, being lied about, and worse, as well as having had the experience of a woman that loves you to beyond what is healthy or sane, the friendship of another man that will stand next to you when you are both facing the very real prospect of being killed, and you doing the same for him, having money and being generous with it, and having none, not becoming a miser either, holding the hand of the woman you love being utterly powerless to prevent her miscarrying, and also seeing the first smile of your own son or daughter, as they look at you with the eyes of a newborn, unless you know and feel and go through all these things and remove all doubt from any corner of your psyche as to who and what you are, you do not really know. You can guess. You can hope. But you don’t know.

Twice in my life before the age of 10 I found a side of me I wanted to remove ferociously. I froze in fear once, and did not try to react another time, when it looked as if my brother would be dragged off a cliff by our dog he held by a leash, and would not let go of it as the dog hurtled towards the cliff face. I was too far to make it, so was my father, who was an adult, but at least he ran as hard as he could and shouted to “let go of the dog”. My knees went weak and I just knelt in the grass, feeling my heart sink as I thought I’d see my own brother die in a few seconds. The dog finally stopped short and so did my brother, but I never forgot the feeling of failure at not even having tried.

I had achieved some measure of success in removing this part of me by age 10, because by then, when an adult reached in the car and stole my mother’s purse from her bag and ran off with it (she had left it on the car seat next to me as she had gone out of the car briefly), I tried to chase him as hard as I could. He was an African that could probably have given Usain Bolt a decent run and in his late 20s.

When my mother returned I was in tears that I had not caught him. And when my father arrived on the scene too, I told him (because it was important to me that he knew I had not just stood by) that I really had tried to catch him, and run as hard as I could but I just couldn’t keep up with him at all.

My dad, looked at me calmly and said: “You’re ten years old. What do you think you could have done even if you had caught him?”

The thought had never even entered my mind. My only fear had been that he would get away, which he did. The concept of what might have happened to me if I had caught him was never even a thing. And I know I would have fought, utterly ineffective, and possibly suicidal as it would have been.

Later in life I had several occasions to realise that right down to the level of my DNA, I would not respond in a cowardly fashion even to a life and death situation where I thought I was sure to die, especially if the protection of people I cared about was on the line. In fact, I even had occasion to discover that I might jump in front of danger even for perfect strangers, which frankly, today, is a worry, because I think that is likely my actual response at an instinctive level now.

But this is not about me. it’s about you. I am using myself as exhibit #1 only because it is irrefutable and real because I lived through those things, so I know with certainty that it is possible (not easy or likely, but possible) to change even really deep-seated aspects of yourself.

And the key to becoming a PC in life instead of an NPC lies there. In your ability to see a path, a way of being, something you want to achieve, or become, and then throwing yourself into that until you do or die.

Nor is it necessary for you to be a wild Ranger, or a weird Mystic. Go and be whatever it is you want to be, but keep in mind that generally, character traits like perseverance, courage, honesty, integrity, and so on, are hard-won, and not often innate.

Perhaps the one aspect that differentiates PCs from NPCs is curiosity.

I went for a short hike through the forest on our land with my 5 year old son recently. He followed instructions, spoke softly so as not to scare any animals we might get to see, and did not complain about me having forgotten to take any water or the occasional thorn poking him when we went past brambles. At every turn I asked him which path he wanted to take. The one that looked easier, safer and a little more boring (though I never expressed any of these descriptors to him) or the one that looked harder, more difficult and that may get us stuck in a place surrounded by brambles and have to head back. He invariably chose the harder path.

So much so that at one point we had to cross some brambles by walking on a log that had fallen over a sort of crevasse, while I had to cut some brambles out of the way with a little pen knife I had, while trying to not slip off the slimy log into a void of brambles below us. He took it in stride, waited as I cleared the way, and trusted me not to drop him when I picked him up and dropped him on the other side as I made my way slower once he was safe.

He is five but he’s not scared even though he sees the dangers. He thinks and acts to get around the dangers while still going where he wants, not where the forest or a more prudent father might wish to take him.

Perhaps Player Characters are born, not made, I am sure to some extent that is true. But I also think some Player Characters can definitely be made or at least improved by conscious effort.

Non-Player Characters on the other hand, will always be with us. Even if they will never count for much except as background foliage.

So, reader… What will you be? A zero-level human villager, or will you roll the dice and become a first level player character who will dare to go where only fools, the insane, and those with the explorer gene dare to tread?

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).

Once more on Adam

An interesting post by Adam again was this one, for which he apparently received some pushback.

Having read it, I would say he only made the window-dressing error of the title he chose, and this singular phrase:

You treat your daughters as property that must be protected 

It is the natural poisoning of the mind that occurs in the predominantly Protestant zeitgeist of English-speaking countries, to reduce things to a simplified (and usually binary) mode of thinking. And such thinking is almost always a mistake. Few things in life are so black and white and when you apply an oversimplification to a complex situation, you are invariably in error to some degree or other.

Sometimes needs must: If I have only 2 weeks to train a battalion for war, some trainees will likely die in training, but the others will have a better chance to live through the war. But in matters of social engineering, it is worth taking careful observation of reality rather than play fast and loose with broad definitions that are going to fall short of the mark.

Adam’s piece is otherwise completely right, but those two unfortunate uses of the word “property” when applied to women in general, are an error.

In fairness to Adam, I think he quickly realised this and he wrote a follow-up that expanded on his thoughts.

I it he tries to better explain what he means by stating that “women are property” or should be treated as property, but the sneaky thread of sulphurous protestantism remains even in his expanded explanation. And this is important to note, because this is precisely how evil works. It infiltrates as tendril of mildly erroneous wordings or concepts and inevitably expands into a cancer on life in general.

Even in his expanded explanation, whether because of persistence in his error or perhaps some hint of pride in not wanting to admit it, Adam continues in his insistence of stating women as property. This is absolutely not a Catholic belief, but rather a purely Protestant one, and, tellingly, a Pagan one too.

Before I go on to correct the error and hence better represent Catholicism as it is, instead of how Protestants insist on trying to present it as (falsely, obviously) let me be clear that I am not taking shots at Adam. He is a friend, and a good man, (yes, even though he is Australian, proving we Catholics truly understand forgiveness!) and the point here is not to bash his good intent, or even his error, rather, I would say, the intent on my part is of iron sharpening iron. Adam is a good exponent of Catholicism in general and the more accurate he can become, the better the influence he will have on others who may be ignorant, fooled by the lies or confused in general.

Now back to the topic at hand.

In Catholic thought, women are not, and never have been, “property”, other than in (somewhat) one specific, and by the way equal, way: in marriage, they do not have authority over their body, their husbands do, and equally, the husband has no authority over his body, the wife does (1 Corinthians 7:4). And it is very much the case that this passage in the Bible refers pretty much only to the sexual congress that occurs between husband and wife. In other words, marriage constitutes a perpetual sexual access to your body by your spouse. Even then, this is not a mechanistic “sex doll” clause, as the immediately following passage in the same section makes clear (1 Corinthians 7:5).

Even then, the wife (or husband’s) body is not treated as “property” but rather as the spouse having authority over it. That is rights. Not ownership as such, but authority to use it sexually; a subtle but important difference.

In fact, Catholicism was precisely the very religion that freed women (and children) from being thought of as actual property.

Now, all that said, let me also be clear that Catholicism is also not the other side of the Protestant coin: the pedastilisation of women, where they can do no wrong, are spiritual saint purely by virtue of being female etcetera, etcetera. No. As always, Catholicism simply describes reality as it is, and recognises that women are the more fragile sex when it comes to dealing with the world. As such, they are to be protected from it and from their own, mostly unwise responses to it. Just as it is a parent’s duty to protect a child from his own unwise responses to a fallen and dangerous world.

The complainers that this “negates the agency of women” are retards bleating in the wind of their own ineptitude. The simple reality is that yes, generally speaking, children have less agency than adult women, and adult women generally have less agency than adult men. This is simply reality. Just like the sky is mostly blue in daytime, or black at night-time. Neither state is rigidly absolute, but only a complete moron would argue against these facts as being the obvious reflection of reality that it is.

So, while it is absolutely correct that as a father of four daughters it is my duty to educate, protect and love them, it is not true that I ever have, or ever will, treat them as property. And ultimately, while it absolutely is my duty to instruct and teach them and do my absolute best to see they are prepared to deal with the hellscape of the world we find ourselves in, at some point, I will be dead, and they will need to rely on themselves to navigate the world well if they have not yet found a worthy husband.

While I am alive, I will certainly help them evaluate any prospective suitors, but while that is a fundamental part of being a father and parent, ultimately, as is also clear in Catholic dogma, marriage has to be a freely chosen sacrament by all parties involved. In short, a better analogy is that while you can teach someone to drive, you can never be actually controlling their every move by some remote system of control. They may crash. They may die or run someone over. All I can do is teach them all I know as best I can. After that, it’s up to them, the choices they make, hopefully the good husbands they pick, and finally, the Grace of God.

In Catholic belief, all things are ultimately subject to God’s Will. Which is not to say we sit on our arses like Hindus or Muslims because in any case, the wheel of reincarnation will evolve us or Allah will do whatever he wants anyway so why bother. No. Catholic belief is that you absolutely must get off your arse and work tirelessly and to the bone to be the best you can be, and even then that is only to TRY to secure a place in Purgatory, which is by no means guaranteed, so that you might, eventually get to Heaven, instead of Hell, where the path to it is “wide and well-travelled”.

In short, if and when you do work your arse right off, then, God, invariably does bestow His Grace upon you.

One of the filthiest of the many lies Protestants created about their fake Churchianity, is that no one is “saved by works”. A twisted half-truth designed to leads untold millions to Hell.

While it is true that a lot of busywork without any faith achieves not Heaven, it is equally true that a faith that does nothing practical is also just as fake, sterile, and useless. Teaching people that all you need to do to be saved is “accept to at Jesus Christ is King” is literally telling people to have the same “Christian” standards that Demons have.

Demons too know very well that Christ is King.

And that is really the only “prescribed” rule of Protestantism, not can it be any other way once you teach people that they are all entitled to interpret the Bible (and everything else) as they choose. Which is literally a Satanic law (the only Law is that there is no Law, so you can do whatever you want is entirely Satanic, and Protestantism can be absolutely defined as “interpreth as thou will”, just another version of the Satanic law “do as thou will”).

The squeals of Protestants to the contrary —sounding so much like the noises made by demon-infested pigs as they run towards the sea— the reality is that no two Protestants can even agree on what the definition of a Christian can or should be. Which is why they have reduced it to meaningless nonsense like “accepting Jesus in your heart”, “being a Jesus follower”, “knowing and accepting Christ is King” or “having a personal relationship with Jesus”.

All complete generalities with less consistency than a thin fart in a high tornado. Ask them to define with precision what the rules for being a Christian are, and they become babbling gibbering mouthers, more prone to speaking in tongues than make a coherent argument, much less a united one.

The situation is, of course, entirely different if you ask any two Catholics how to define what a Christian is, they will tell you the Credo for a start; and all that is implied in it can be found in the Code of Canon Law of 1917, plus the Papal encyclicals and documents referred to therein, as well as those produced between 1917 and up to 9th October 1958, when the last valid Pope died. That is it and can often be quickly received in summary format by the guidance of a good priest or Bishop, of which there are only a few left, but they do exist, and will continue to do so, as they have through all the dark times the Church has navigated through.

Returning to the errors of Protestant infused thinking with regard to women, their level of agency, and the duty of men to protect them from the world and their own emotionally driven unwise choices, once again, the Catholic perspective is based in reality and as such infinitely superior to all other attempts at “controlling” or even merely understanding women.

Women are less capable in the practical navigation of the fallen world we inhabit, and as such need to be protected, cherished and helped through it by men who correctly see the world as it is, and inevitably, the best of such men can only be properly Catholic (i.e. Sedevacantist) because Catholicism is the best method we have ever had of seeing reality as it is, with logic, reason, and Divine Grace all working in perfect unity.
