Of Old McDonald, by the little Viking. He was just hanging around the kitchen with me while I started the fire in the stove and he started singing to himself:
Old McDonald, had a farm, yia, yia, yo,
And on his farm he had a T-Rex, yia, yia, yo,
And the T-Rex ate Old McDonald, yia, yia, yo!
I never much liked the original, and you have to admit, his version of it makes for a far more interesting farm.
The four year old leads the three year old into the tool shed which he knows he’s not supposed to go into without me. There are power tools in there but nothing connected or that can be switched on. At most he can trip and bump himself against a shovel or something.
The wife sees them sneaking in and lets me know.
I observe from afar and they come out and one of them says to the other, “Ok, now let’s go back inside.”
Their secret mission of minor rebellion achieved in what they think is complete success and conspiratorial loyalty, they return to the main house in harmony.
This is how you know you’re parenting them right.
As a result of a post Vox did on the coming economic collapse, here, I asked a question about his opinion on the when it all might get really quite serious:
His response was along my own lines of thought in general terms but pointed out something important:
And that is, we have already crossed the threshold that for me, circa 1995 was the year 2000 or so. At the time, living in South Africa, and having dabbled in trading a tiny bit, and having seen the “soul” of that industry and the people in it, I had concluded that in 5 years tops, the whole house of cards must come tumbling down. I had not accounted for human greed and stupidity of course, so the crash happened 8 years beyond my outer limit expectation. The 2000/2001 rubicon of disbelief had been crossed in my mind because I could not see how the giant global Ponzi scheme could still function. Perhaps I was wrong about it all being a giant Ponzi scheme? Although I could not see how. And I did not really connect the whole 9/11 false flag perpetrated by Mossad agents who liked dancing at the time, with a further artificial propping up of the US dollar global economy (backed by the US military might, of course). It was a little strange that Trillions of dollars were being shipped to Iraq on literal pallets in cargo planes with no oversight, but you know… American things. I figured somehow they had managed to stave the mathematically unavoidable collapse off… sort of. And then 2008 hit and… they covered it up.
Just took a giant pile of your money and bailed out the criminal fraudsters and con men that people call bankers, and made the whole problem go away. And most people still haven’t got a clue how or why the collapse happened. That is obvious, because if they DID understand it, if Joe average literally knew what the 2008 crash was about and how and who made it happen, every single bank on the planet would be torched to the ground, anyone working in the financial industry would be lyinched, as would everyone that works anywhere near anything related to tax collection. As would, of course, the nominal puppets controlled by the bankers that people think are their “elected” government.
I mean, it’s fine for me. I realised this entire planet was total clown world fake at age 26 when I published The Face on Mars and had satisfied myself entirely with the fact that human history had nothing to do with what we are taught in school, is actually astonishing, and antigravity technology has been a thing since 1928 and definitely a very real thing used in flying craft since the end of WWII. So yeah. If you want to understand why everything is absolutely fake and gay, why I never voted in any election for anything except once a year ago, as just a small test to confirm my already foregone conclusions, then you can read that book.
It’s also why I never waste time trying to read texts about economics or anything related to that other than as a glancing note of what lie they are trying to push, just so I get a sense of things in general terms. Because it’s all lies. It’s all, completely fake. You and I break our backs to make enough money to survive and the people who literally create money out of thin air have billions on demand and can fund whatever they want; which for the most part is gay, transexual, “democracy”, global warming, take-everything-from-you-and-you be-happy-technology, GMO everything, including GMO people now, death-inducing “medicine”, genetically altered death mosquitoes, control, surveillance, taxation, and regulation, to death, of everyone else that is not them.
Vox on the other hand I believe majored in economics, and has even more incredibly, written books on the topics. What can I say, there is no accounting for taste in people’s absurdly insane hobbies that look like the mental equivalent of years of being told “there are five lights” to the rest of us.
Perhaps his deeper study is what made him make a statement that is obvious in retrospect: We have already past the point of what anyone thought was possible. The entire covid scam proved there was in essence infinite fake money if you just played along with the lies. And while the money is fake it is not exactly infinite or free. The doubling cost of food and other things in the last year and a half or so is the mathematical inevitability of what will follow. And at this point, I was asked to expound on the topic.
And I was asked by possibly a Chinese Spy, regarding my ideas of the economic collapse of the (mostly) West. While I do not welcome our Chinese overlords and hope for the eventual freedom of my people to rebuild the ancient and honourable Most Serene Republic of Venice, I also harbour them no ill will. After all, my ancestral countryman Marco was the first to open up the old Silk Road, and I am on official record, on TV too, from China, to say that my and my partner’s firm intended to reopen that route. Whether that will ever be achieved or not, given the current political realities, is arguable, but I for one would not have a problem with it; as long as China stays Chinese, and La Serenissima stays Venetian.
So here is my take on the coming economic meltdown.
Timeline: I would say within 5 years, but Argentina’s sudden capitulation to globohomo over the last few days might stretch that to say… 10 years? depending on who else the (((USA))) manages to force into subservient slaves. That said, some other factor (and there are many, many, many of them, many unknown to you and me) might make it all collapse tomorrow. Or at least do so for where you specifically live. Italy might become the next Greece or 1990 Argentina overnight. Or maybe France. The UK is more steadily sliding into full-blown mandatory homosexuality, so a more “gentle” economic ride there, but perhaps worse than anywhere else mind-wise.
A Hard Crash: A Hard crash would be that your money in the bank turns to absolute vapour could dust overnight, 90% of people can’t afford food, never mind other things and you get… (drum roll please)… VENEZUELA!
Thank you, thank you, you’re welcome. And depending on where you are in the world, your particular Venezuela may in fact include roaming military death squads, looting gangs, wild civil unrest put down brutally by the armed forces, a military coup with large (or apparent/manufactured) popular support, CIA/Israel funded “regime change”, uncontrolled immigration and skyrocketing violent crime of all kinds.
This kind of crash tends to be limited more or less to certain specific countries or regions and would probably still be a relatively “soft” hard crash compared to one in say Africa, or even South America. Think of tens or even hundreds of thousands of people having their arms cut off by machetes like in Rwanda. Not as likely to happen in say Rome. Well, ok, maybe Milan, which is a bit further North and so not quite as African. Ok, fine, some mountain villages in the Veneto. But you get what I mean.
Paradoxically, I think the UK with their unarmed police, and ban on guns and so on, are going to have a far more violent rude awakening than most continental European countries when such a potential fast/hard crash happens. Most of continental Europe outside of the large cities still has a sort of rural, grow my tomatoes in the garden mentality. And while it is nowhere near enough to stave off famine and so on, they are, overall, statistically, better placed to survive actual famines. Plus, in places like Italy, you have about 2 million registered and legal and law-abiding armed citizens, but about 8 million guns that are known to be around and unregistered and illegal. So, kicking doors in gestapo style of random citizens, in not quite as law-abiding places as the UK, is going to result in more dead jackboot wearers, meaning overall their operations would probably be more brutal but in less areas and in more concentrated and specific instances. The cowed Brits on the other hand, will walk to their metaphorical (or actual) cattle wagons in silent acquiescence. And their trains run on time, too.
In some ways, a hard crash can be preferable. The puppets of government change rapidly sometimes in such cases, and there might even be the occasion of some partially principled military guy taking over by force and running things in a way that makes the earlier graft, theft, robbery and murder, look like a simple and mostly bloodless gas station stick-up.
Remember kids, a benign dictatorship remains the best form of government. and Democracy is not the worst form of government only because a malign dictatorship beats it.
The “soft” crash: This is what I think will actually happen for most of Europe, or at least, that is the “plan”. It can always go off the rails. I also think it applies to various parts of the US but I am not knowledgeable enough to be precise on where, but in essence democrat run large cities and those states that are governed by such creatures. So California as a visual certainty, but perhaps also places like Florida and Texas along with New York for most people. And possibly Washington D.C. unless you are one of the political class, but even then you’d be living behind barbed wire fences probably.
So the soft crash is just an escalation of what’s already happening now. Higher cost of everything, no increase in wages or buying power. The average person is hardly making ends meet in terms of paying rent and feeding themselves and their families, while getting more and more forced into basically accepting all sorts of restrictions in order to not incur even further hardship. The ultimate end of it being your subservience to a Universal Basic Income, tied to your digital cash, with all that implies:
As people get more and more uncomfortable, the occasional flare-up here or there will happen and be BRUTALLY repressed.
There is a way out and around all of this but historically it has not often happened. Perhaps, one hopes, it MIGHT, this time.
I will post below a link to an archived post that proves categorically how this has ALREADY happened, but you don’t know it, of all places, in CANADA. Yes, I know, I know, but bear with me, and read the story at the link. And for those of you literally too lazy to click on the link and read it (please do, honestly it explains so much) the answer is to make friends in real life, use social media only to meet and organise those things you can’t to face to face and building community in your immediate, walking distance vicinity, then link up to other similar communities as you can, and establish networks of people that think like you.
Short of people doing that, you will be squeezed, impoverished, regulated, fined, isolated and ultimately conquered. And worse, so will your children. the brainwashing will proceed full force with penalties for those who don’t comply. Anyone succeeding in creating alternate realities will be cancelled, silenced, not talked about and those who try to resist in any appreciable manner will be made a spectacle of and plastered all over the news.
But what you must realise is that IT’S ALL FAKE.
No government can force a million or two of their own people who are organised, willing to stand together and stand their ground. to do what the government without the use of overwhelming force. And by overwhelming force I don’t mean police charges with batons. That will eventually only get police stations burnt to the ground and cops killed. I mean flying fighter-bomber jets over them and carpet-bombing them. And even then, if that million or two is willing to fight, they will, in due course, win.
You don’t believe me? here are a few examples just from recent years:
Ukraine: Donetsk and Lugansk – Bombarded with artillery and fired upon by active military for 8 years until Russia intervened.
Afghanistan: Kicked the ass of the entire US military with sheepherders willing to do whatever required to never stop fighting back.
Vietnam: Ditto, but they were rice farmers and had some support from commies, weapon wise.
In various other ways, Ethiopia / Sudan are hellholes, but are certainly NOT controlled by the US military that has played in those areas.
If the stance is mostly peaceful as with the Truckers in Canada, or the Netherlands, the bloodied will be minimal, but as with all human problems, if push comes to shove, violence will eventually be the final arbiter of which side comes out on top. Because anyone who thinks that “elections” are in any way related to who controls your government, clearly also still believes in the tooth fairy leaving money under their pillow for teeth and Santa Claus coming down the chimney on Christmas Eve.
And, you know, generally speaking, pedophiles, narcissists, egomaniacs, power-hungry, greedy, molluscs of the types that actively want to be politicians are not in the habit of just handing over the reigns of power and quietly going to the dungeon they belong in, or in many cases, the hangman’s noose. So what will eventually happen is that either, they manage to get everyone to climb aboard the cattle carts and go to the concentration camps hoping that they are not too bad, on the basis of a tiny minority telling them they have no option and having another tiny group of enforcers do their bidding, OR, eventually normies will get pissed off enough to pick up pitchforks and torches and will literally drag the politicians out of their ivory towers and make them into wet piñatas.
Before it come to that however, a LOT of hardship will be tolerated by the vast majority, in fact they may well end up all going to the camps (or whatever the metaphorical alternative will be). Because the majority is ALWAYS sheep. But in such times, random leaders can from time to time pop up and change the course of history in very unexpected ways. And if they get any actual traction, they will also have massive popular followings.
The issue with the traction is that social media and so on is absolutely controlled so not a real avenue. Hence why such people will do better in face-to-face community building. 100 men in real life with one purpose are worth much more than one million men online changing their profile picture.
So that’s how I see it.
Hence, The Kurganate.
I have criticised the boomer Karl Denninger before. Here, and here.
And now I will do it again, but on an entirely different basis, which actually ties in with a MUCH larger picture I have been trying to explain to other people for a long time.
Karl has a long very black pilled post about having children and the future, here.
In fairness to him, I think his overall point is not necessarily that high IQ, K-select people should not have children, as many have accused him of doing. I am quite sure he is merely pointing out why it is unlikely that they will. And insofar as his boomer level of analysis goes, he is “right”. That is, the average NPC will think and “reason” much along the lines Karl indicates. So my critique is not really with his observation of all the negative facts he points out. In the main he is “correct” about his individual examples of reasons why people are less likely to choose to have children.
The desirable people he and I both mean, that is, high IQ, K-select, generally honest and responsible, and reliable people with a good sense of justice, common sense and the ability to do at least decent levels of logic, math, writing and reading comprehension.
But as usual, Karl is missing the big picture. As is typical of the boomer mentality, that thinks primarily in terms of me, me, me, and even when describing global events is guided by their perennial laser-like focus on how anything affect them in the specific, he seems largely incapable of the very concept of synergism.
It is a rare skill generally, but it happens that some of us (mostly GenX) are naturally talented at it, so allow me to point out the errors of his thinking, starting from the exact opposite direction that boomer thinking begins at: that is, the REALLY big pictures frames first. The ones that ignore us, that is you and me specifically completely. Here we go:
1. Nature doesn’t care about you specifically
In the big scheme of things, those who do not reproduce sufficiently die out. Nature is pretty brutal about it and tends to operate on the principles of large numbers. And exceptions to that rule because of different large numbers.
It may just be humanity’s lot that we go the way of mouse utopia aka Universe 25. In which case, we’re all doomed and so are all our children. And if so, why worry about it. Worrying about it would be a total waste of time. Besides which you do NOT know this for certain, so assuming it off the bat is an error. So, as a function of reason and logic, this specific idea must be ignored.
Treating it as valid or true can only lead you to depression and misery in a situation where your irrational belief in a “certainty” you cannot possibly know is a certainty, becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. This point alone, the Universe 25 possibility, should make it obvious that similar thoughts that lead down similar (if less total) outcomes are also to be ignored.
So for example, the idea that “all white people will soon be extinct” or “high IQ people do not breed together because there is not enough of them” or the more common “marriage and children is a loser’s game because all women are whores and will divorce-rape you” and all the various variants of that kind, are in essence self-fulfilling, loser’s bets on life. The fact that your specific marriage may turn into a hellscape, or your specific life becomes a dead end is not relevant to the entire sub-species you represent.
Yes nature does not care about you specifically, but you specifically can and do affect nature. Make 15 children and chances are most of them survive. If they all too make 15 children from age 20 on, like you did, guess what the landscape of your tribe looks like 100 years from now if you just start out with you and your wife as Adam and Eve? On that basis, starting with you and your wife having had 15 children by the time you are both say 40, if all your children and theirs and so on do the same, meaning that every 40 years they all have a batch of 15 children each, if you lived to be 140, you would have over 17 thousand descendants. 17,275 to be exact. And if the average age of death was say 80, then almost all of them would still be alive, since the first iteration (at year 20) is only 135 people. And that’s only ONE family. Imagine if you have ten such families in the same area. You now have a small nation after one century. Which in the scheme of things is not so much time. And if the genetic serums actually sterilise and wipe out most of humanity, you will not only be a small nation, you will be the majority within it. And it might not be such a small geographical area after all. Now imagine them all of the same religion that takes no crap from depopulationist satanists like Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates and their pedophile friends.
“But people don’t make 15 children each, and how do you feed them all, and send them to college?!?”
Patience grasshopper. People who bought the lies and live in clown world no longer make 15 children. But people did do that for centuries in Catholic countries. And that was before the internet, and Amazon deliveries, and often before indoor plumbing and central heating, and certainly before electricity and tractors and industrial fertilisers and automated harvesting machines… so let that sink in a little and park it in your brain somewhere while we continue to look at reality and possibilities instead of the ghosts boomers put in your head.
“But even if smart white people with good ethics, strong Catholic religious beliefs and enough money/land/whatever start reproducing at that ridiculous and unrealistic rate, they will still be outnumbered by the millions of dumb, brown, evil, people!”
First of all, even if things were reduced to that simplistic level of thinking, realise that the number of white people on the planet always was a minority when compared to the number of non-white people. And probably always will be.
Remember when I said nature doesn’t care about you specifically and operates on the principle of large numbers, with the exception of other large numbers? White people, and the Japanese, are two such examples, just to pick a couple. Despite not being a majority, white people have managed to secure lands and space for themselves very successfully over the millennia. A combination of strong imagination, higher average IQ, and religious beliefs that fostered high-trust and co-operation, served them well when they ejected infiltrating and noxious tribes, ethnicities and behaviours, which they did in the past with ferocious attitudes.
Similarly the Japanese have retained a really quite unique culture on this planet by similarly ruthlessly avoiding to entertain the admixing of their population with the teeming masses.
A perhaps even more shocking example is Catholicism itself, which around 400 AD or thereabouts, when it really was a dark time on pretty much all fronts for humanity in general and Catholics (i.e. the only Christians that ever existed) in particular, St. Benedictine decided to retire to some apparently godforsaken regions and start monasteries. And some 600 years later, the Catholic world was (and remained for a long time) the utter pinnacle of human achievement in everything from the arts, to the courage of men, the safety of lands that were previously the domain of brigands, the ending of women and children as chattel, and generally the betterment of humanity as a whole while being perfectly capable and able to fight back against less civilised barbarians that hounded them.
And keep in mind that Catholic monks do not even reproduce at all! But just by their influence, they firstly created self-sustaining monasteries, then spread the gospel and civilisation all round them, so much so that they even converted the Vikings that used to raid and murder them mercilessly, by giving them lands and asking for their protection. And after a couple of centuries, those same blonde giants were off to the Crusades to defend Christendom. All this was supposedly impossible if you accept Denninger’s base premise which is simply that basic math has all the answers.
Basic math has a lot of the answers, but life is always more interesting that that. As I wrote almost 30 years ago, in original version of The Face on Mars published in 1995, when dealing with math and reality, the theory looks like 1+2=3 or perhaps x+2=3 so we can figure out x easily. In theory.
Better scientists realise that things are a bit more like x+y=3 so both x and y can have a wide range of values. And synergists like me realise life is most accurately described as x+y=z, where both x and y and even z have ranges of probabilities and while computers can in theory predict things very accurately (if the input data is very accurate) they cannot and will not ever be able to account for human nature and reality as a whole. Because the fly in the teleporting machine, the asteroid against the dinosaurs, and the “crazy” St. Benedict, or the iron minded King Leonidas, will throw your entire large number theory set right out the window. And in fact, a human mind that can see these patterns of relationships and figure them out analogously, usually has a better chance of getting it right than any computer prediction of the future.
So. The realisation from point number one is that while nature does not care about you specifically, you specifically can affect nature. Crazy as that sounds. And the main item required for you to have a chance to do so? Unreasonable belief that defies current “popular” thinking, but is based in sound synergistic principles, like large number theory, persistence, and of course, the most successful human belief system ever used by humans, actual Catholicism.
2. Becoming that different large number.
If you want to avoid becoming the leaf in the stream that just ends up being compost, and if your entire tribe, way of life, family, looks like it is just being carried on by world events, guess what, you need to become one of those large numbers that is the exception to the large number concept that you will become extinct. How do you do that? Simple, really, if you think about it.
By being utterly passionate, unreasonable, counter-intuitively absurdly dedicated and persistent, over an equally absurd, unreasonable and “crazy” length of time. St. Benedict didn’t just decide to try his hand at monastery creation and life for a few years. He spent the rest of his life doing it. Relentlessly.
The reason I have achieved so many different things, visited so many places, speak three languages fluently and a couple or three others haltingly, and learnt so many different skills at a high level enough that I could reasonably be considered a professional at several very different endeavours, is because I simply put in more time, more effort, more obsessive thought and action into those things that interested me than most people do, and even than most supposed “professionals” in that field do in many cases.
So, if you want your DNA to make it, you need to go counter to the zeitgeist. Which is healthy in any case since the current “Western” zeitgeist is that you should submit to different cultures and ethnicities than your own. That the family unit is evil, marriage terrible, and making children a very selfish thing unworthy of civilised people. Oh and you should also be gay. Or a cross-dressing, self-mutilating tranny. And make your kids, if you were so unwise to have any, become gay, underage drag queens too.
Really, regardless of your intentions, going 180 degrees away from the current zeitgeist in the West is healthier than not doing so on any scale. But if you want to go the whole hog, then peruse this blog and the various articles I wrote on farming, beating clown world, and so on, and above all realise two things:
You overcome the statistics of nature by becoming your own large number anomaly. So git to it, you unreasonable madman.
3. The black pill is a lie.
All fear is a lie, ultimately. And the black pill of doom and gloom is pure fear-based poison. It doesn’t matter what type of fear it is. Fear you will not have a job. Fear you will not have enough money. Fear you will hate your life. Fear you will be a bad parent. Fear your kids will suffer. Fear you can’t do it. Fear you will fail. Fear.
Well, let me reassure you: You will lose your job. Somewhere along the line, if you haven’t yet, you will. You will never have enough money. Never. Elon Musk still doesn’t. Just ask him. Your life will have giant events of major suckage in it. Everyone’s does. You will fuck up multiple aspects of parenting. Everyone does. Your best bet is to keep the damage to a minimum and try and ensure your children understand reality and still love you when they are all grown up. Your kids will suffer. Everyone does. You will fail. Multiple times, at multiple things. You will feel fear in your life. Many times for many different reasons.
There. Got all that? Good. Now get off your ass and go do all those scary things anyway.
No one learnt to walk without falling down. A lot.
No one learnt to read and write without scrawling and misspelling first. A lot.
No one has achieved great things without persistently improving on his or her own screw ups. Failing is not the problem. Quitting is. So, as I explained, become your own large number anomaly. And if God is gracious he will give you enough of a brain to realise the miracle point of when it is not worth bashing your head into the same rock and when, instead, doing so, will eventually form a thick enough skin and skull that you will break the rock and break through to a better place.
Life is hard. Bad shit happens. People die. Evil exists. And on and on. So what? You can whine and bitch and cry and hide in a corner and try and have someone, anyone, everyone, feel sorry for you, or you can get up and become a large number anomaly. Them’s the choices, and no one gets a free ride. So pick one. I picked mine long ago.
4. Being afraid of 10 things means you miss the big opportunity.
If you do go and read the whole long litany of fear compiled by Denninger, you might get depressed. You might think he has valid points and they stack. Let me present just one case or two of his flawed theory.
Then you think about the child getting older. He or she is rather bright and would perhaps like a college education. You see the bills pile up on those who are there now, and the growth of that price over the last 20 years. You see $100,000 or more in debt larded up on someone who studies gender or black history and a “professor” who claims that capitalism is horrible — while pulling down a six-figure salary and forcing your child to pay the next kid over’s tuition in Calculus class because you, not your child, have more money than his parents do. You think “oh, my kid is a math whiz and will study programming” which sounded great 20+ years ago but then you remember the many H1bs that multiple large firms brought in to replace all of their American citizen programmers, forcing said Americans to train their replacements before being fired in order to get any severance at all! Thus that $100,000 taken on in debt to go to college, you realize, can be rendered worthless by said corporations even if your kid makes good choices as soon as someone from India will do the work for less money. This wild escalation in the cost of an education is not by random luck either, which would be a risk everyone has to take — three decades ago there was no Internet and colleges were the only real place you could learn a lot of things. Today anyone can learn anything from literally anywhere with nothing more than a $50 cellphone, a $200 laptop and $50/month for Internet service so why has the cost of learning and proving it at a college level of competence gone up by five or more times in the last 30 or so years instead of costing almost nothing to simply take a set of proctored tests and prove competence? Reality is that all of this is due to the deliberate policies and actions of universities, governments and corporations which will screw your child without any possibility of redress when he or she grows up — and there is no evidence that it is slowing down or will be stopped.
So he points out that:
And yet he’s really SOLD on sending kids to college.
Can you see the boomer level thinking? Screw college. Learn how to distinguish and grow the plants that can be used to make tinctures and remedies for various things and sell them only to people who you know. I guarantee you that when the next load of mRNA crap embedded in food, “normal” vaccine shots, or anything else comes along, the people with a still functioning brain will not care too much about your lack of a PhD if the stuff you use on yourself and your loved one works for them too.
Do you really need a degree to be able to put plumbing pipes together, or learn the principles of electrical wiring? Sure, insurance and such is a thing and if you screw things up, or even if you don’t you might be sued into ruin.
Yes, these are real problems, and sometimes have good reasons for being there. I certainly don’t want a pedophile like Oprah’s John of “God” cutting into me or mine as if he were a surgeon. I’d like to know that anyone that needs to actually do a surgery is competent and properly trained; and can in turn be sued into poverty if he screws up because he is not.
But the problem is that over the last 4 years these supposed paragons of ethics have in the main been mass-murdering bastards who lied and lied and lied to your face. Like good old Fauci and his buddies did. So… while I am not really keen on the local witch-doctor’s bone-throwing, the local GP dispensing covid genetic serums is certainly not higher on the totem pole as far as I am concerned, thank you very much. Which means what? It means that firstly I will try to educate myself better. Without the use of google, thanks, because mostly google is also a lie now. And secondly I will go only to people I know, whose work I can personally verify and see for myself by meeting their clients, whatever their field might be.
Denninger hasn’t realised that the entire idea of college is dead. Why would you participate in it other than for a very few and very select reasons, and even then, who knows for how long? Clearly homeschooling and learning your own trade is the way.
Here is another and more “total” point he makes towards the end:
I could go on for hours with this but I think you get the point. People don’t choose to have fewer or no children because “that’s how it is” as technology improves. Technological improvement adds choice but society molds opinions and incentives — for good or bad, like it or not.
People make the decision to not have children not because they’re “selfish” but rather on an entirely-rational basis because they look back at their childhood for the baseline and then forward in time and what they see is not improvement but impoverishment, not prosperity but privation, forced compliance and costs shoved upon them while the mandating parties are immune from consequence even when they’re later proved wrong or worse, someone is injured or killed, rampant illegal immigration and destruction of the common person’s standard of living without boundary along with a documented history of forcing the voluntary costs taken by others down their throats along with myriad scams across the board. When projected forward 20 years they recognize that any child they produce today is highly likely to be screwed blind and has a very low probability of having a good life, say much less a better one than they had.
Indeed if they judge that their childhood sucked they may well expect their kids’ childhoods to suck worse and nobody who actually cares about a child they’re contemplating bringing into the world voluntarily signs them up for that.
The people you want to bring children into the world are those who value children and have reason to believe their children will have at least as a good a life as they grew up with and enjoy now, with hope for even better, never mind a belief that their kids will have a fair shake and rational odds of success if they choose to apply themselves.
All of the policies of the last few decades of both government and industry have demonstrated beyond doubt that none of this is likely to be true and thus only those who don’t give a wet crap about their children’s future, or are so rich they believe they can guarantee it even if everyone else has their standard of living go straight to Hell, choose to reproduce.
About the only truly valid point he makes here is the very first one:
society molds opinions and incentives — for good or bad, like it or not.
That is essentially true. And as I have already pointed out, “society” in general today is very sick. That’s the problem. So what’s the solution? Simple: Firstly, realise, as I have been saying often and repeatedly since age 16, there is no such thing as “society”. It doesn’t exist. What you have is a large number of individuals and the large number probabilities that they produce. In reality you have a large number of in-DUH-viduals, which makes the illusion that such a thing as “society” exists quite realistic, but it doesn’t.
You have essentially zombie hordes. And zombie hordes are easily manipulated and pushed into this or that direction or over this or that cliff or fire-pit. So, as a first step don’t be a zombie. Don’t associate with them. Don’t surround yourself with them.
Secondly, begin the process of isolating yourself from zombies and building up relationships with other human beings. This in itself acts as a already quite a good “wall”, or defence from the zombie hordes, but over time, don’t be shy to build literal walls to keep the zombies out of your areas. And the more humans you have in your community that help to built them, the better.
Thirdly, do not let zombies in at any time. Exclude them and exclude anyone who allows them in the village. This sounds harsh, but is basic survival and also basic game theory. St. Benedict “won” precisely because of this point. He allowed in only Catholic monks that had dedicated themselves not only to Catholicism, but his even stricter rules added to the already rather strict rules for Catholic monks. That unwavering zealotry kept the monasteries pure and therefore effective. A bunch of men who spend all their time, praying, meditating on scripture, and working, will soon produce extremely functional communities. And in fact monasteries became wealthy, for they had a surfeit of food or other things they made, so that they became rich enough they became favourite places for the Vikings to raid. So the Catholic monks co-opted the Vikings too, and now Catholicism also added fearsome, pious warrior types to their ranks, alongside thoughtful, intellectual, pious, and studious ones.
If you refuse to allow any people into your midst that don’t subscribe to your general tribe’s zeitgeist (ideas, religion, world-view), then you cannot be corrupted, And over time, your converting of others increases your number. This is basic game theory and works in the natural world as it does in the abstract one of math. It works because it is again based on the principle of large numbers. A persistent, unexpected, but resilient statistical anomaly, becomes its own statistical normality.
Alongside with not rejecting “society” or if you prefer, forming your own, Denninger is (typical for a boomer) preoccupied with the hypothetical suffering of hypothetical children.
Well, guess what, the very vast majority of human beings, including the ones with really terrible lives, still prefer existing to not existing. We know this because aside from the odd cult, or recently mutilated confused teenager that has been indoctrinated into the child abuse ideology of transgenderism, most human beings don’t commit suicide. So, bad as it might be, life still seems to have the win over non-life. Pretty much for everyone. I know for a fact that every one of my children prefers to be here than not having existed. And it is that way for most people. So suck it up buttercup. Remember how I told you life is hard and everyone suffers? It’s true. But it still beats being dead or non-existent by a couple of light years, never mind country miles.
Finally he tries to justify his own weakness, cowardice and fear by appealing to your own sense of concern for your (hypothetical) children. In a most ridiculous manner if you have followed the discussion up to here; that is, by telling you if you really cared about your children, you wouldn’t have them, because they might suffer.
No Karl, no. They absolutely will suffer. And they will cry and feel pain and heartbreak. And then they will dust themselves off, get up and carry on. And make children of their own and if they need to fight off some evil bastards in the future that I didn’t manage to get to myself before I dropped dead, well, so be it, they will have got as much as they can from me in terms of learning how to do that.
Because guess what, you fragile and egomaniacal boomer, my grandparents went through two world wars, massive economic depression and yes, even lack of food. And they made children too. Otherwise I would not be here. And my children wouldn’t be here. And if I had continued believing the horse-shit your generation still shovels around a bit longer than I did, I might not have had any children at all. Instead now I have five of them. And my own daughter, off her own ideas, with no prompting from me on the matter, because she’s still young for me to discuss such things with her in any detail or seriousness, already has it as a pretty solid idea that she wants to have two children by her mid twenties. And if her babysitting of her younger siblings is anything to go by, she probably will, and be a really good mother at it too. And the smaller ones love each other even as they fight and argue and then play and hug a few minutes later.
Because what you missed Karl, in your ranting and raving at the injustices of the world, is the simple fact that yes, things are bad. And yes they could be better, and yes there is wild evil about, but… on one level or another, it has always been this way. Do you think the Spartans and Athenians about to be wiped out by the Persians had an easier life than you do? Or me?
And they would have been wiped out if it weren’t for a “crazy” guy who took his personal bodyguard to the Hot Gates and held off perhaps up to a million Persians for three or four days.
You Karl, with your fears and your impotent rage, ultimately, are more like a whiny, mostly fake, mostly gay Athenian. Me and mine are more like the Spartans that went with Leonidas. And yes, I include my wife and children in that, because she can keep up with me, which is rare and courageous beyond most women, well-beyond certainly all the normies out there worrying about their pedicure and whether they can land a guy with a six or seven figure salary if they just slut it up enough. And my children are on the same path, which can already be seen by the steps they take and the way they relate to the world and themselves in it.
And am I a lone voice in the wind? No. Not by a long shot.
Every sedevacantist family I know has multiple children, at least 4, and counting. And even we Sedevacantists are not even the only ones.
The current Mrs. USA for 2023 has 7 children and lives on a ranch. This is what she said at the finals for her beauty contest:
“When have you felt the most empowered?”
Mrs America 2023: “I have felt this feeling seven times now as I bring these sacred souls to the earth… after I hold that newborn baby in my arms. The feeling of motherhood…is the most empowering feeling I have ever felt.
So go on Karl, invent all the reasons why no one can have multiple children and then whine and whine and whine about it. Meanwhile, Catholics over two millennia created the best civilised nations on Earth by going precisely against every “point” you made, and under conditions that were almost certainly harder than any most people face today. Especially if you remove the conditions created by our own deficient reasoning, Karl.
Reasoning like yours is the real problem. The rest, human beings have dealt with successfully for millennia. And it won’t be the insipid Bill Gates and Klaus Schwabs of the world that will stop me and mine from being here another now and in the future too, a few millennia from now.
What you think is normal, is not
I have had several rather interesting conversations over the last few days and a recurring theme has been how so much of what is accepted as normal today, really is not.
Some are obvious things, that only the unhinged think are normal:
Then there are what I would call “second tier” observations, which really are (or should be) obvious is you realise the obvious issues above and simply extrapolate them a little bit:
And once you have digested all of the above, you begin to see a whole other level of reality that has been obfuscated by the creeping demonic lies that have been filtering into human life since the start but really took off after 1521 and then got turbo-charged during and after WWII and then started taking steroids in the mid to late 1990s and meth and cocaine from about 2008 on and finally a whole bunch of LSD since about 2016/7.
Described as I have above it all sounds like a super expensive classical education, but in reality it is something easily achieved by a group of parents that are willing and able to organise themselves and get this done.
And doing so would probably be considered some radical alt-right, Neo-nazi, eeeeeebil indoctrination of children. When in reality it would simply be giving them the tools to observe and evaluate the objective universe as it exists, instead of the lies it is presented as.
Do not accept the current twisted ideologies of Clown World. Study and re-learn what has been hidden from you and presented under a tsunami of lies and fakery the likes of which no generation before the present ones has seen.
Rebuilt the concept of objectivity and the study of both the physical and natural world as well as the metaphysical one.
