The impending civil war

“Perceive that which cannot be seen with the eye.”
- Miyamoto Musashi

My friends, acquaintances, and enemies, I come to you now for the necessity of self-declaration.

One which has been inevitably approaching us for decades.

To neglect its inevitability is mere negligence.

I do not expect for you to anticipate such things as of yet, as to think in the short term, with a strong degree of rigidity, is a common attribute of the average man.

Loud mouths who believe they can save the west by way of trivial protest do nothing to slow the eerie approach of this monster.

The men you seek to oppose laugh at such efforts. They have the influence and resources to move you towards a wall you cannot escape, if they so please.

To assume they will be sympathetic to any extent, is an ignorant presumption.

Chaos does not act at an individual level, but at the magnitude of collectivist crowds who see their cause as "virtuous".

Their "moral compass" does not exist. It is, simply put, a one-sided emphasis for their own self-interest.

We were once a principled people. Actionably patriotic (Keyword actionably), principled, honorable, and driven to providing the freedom to choose. Even if that meant certain death.

No longer. Individuals are hypersensitive to the simplest of things. A little traffic on the road, establishment-driven propaganda that drives crowds to subjective violence, and intolerance to moderate dialog.

The illusion of "security" is valued over autonomy. The very robustness of our political establishment is being threatened by individuals who look to break things apart, all for self interest.

I thought man was a relatively sane individual. Through my years of studies and many experiences (Which I intentionally applied entropy to where I placed myself for the purpose of understanding human nature, as only seeing one side is not an objective assessment), what I've realized is many things.

Firstly, dictators did not rise by themselves. They were chosen and groomed by the crowd. The dictator's decision to do terrible things may have been decisions of these individuals, but their reason and position ended up there because the people of the time wanted it.

Perfect case study: The Roman people believed Julius Caesar was attempting to overthrow the Republic to become a dictator, so they had him assassinated. Ironically, the following individual they voted in turned out to be exactly what they said they were against (Octavius).

The point? Individuals, when placed in large enough crowds, are irrational. People think they know what they want, but most don't understand the implications, especially the long-term ones.

Second, man and woman are complementary to each other. There is no "better" or "worse". Excess nurture leads to mass genocide, cultural assassination, compromise of character, and inferior development from youth.

Too little nurture leads to stifled innovation, a lack of potential for scaling a civilization's capabilities, and even the possibility of killing off a particular civilization.

Finally, Pareto distribution is inevitable in the context of shared efforts. You have the lazy who will do anything to take from those who give their all in building and refining the systems and capabilities of mankind.

Excessive nurture and the pareto distribution are two pieces that, together, create a very disturbing result which contributes to, in essence, the beginnings of a socialist society.

The illegal immigration argument is so effective in this day and age because there are so many with a motherly instinct who possess no child (Or the desire to have one) that those motherly instincts shift to something much more clever (For the exploiter): selling illegal immigration using the tragedies of young children to shift the focus away from the problem, to a set of individuals.

This tactic is commonly employed among those who seem to enjoy the game of influence through shock-and-awe tactics (Because that's exactly what it is). No objectivity in argument. Instead, shift everyone away from the problem and focus on one individual, a group, an object, or something dependent (But trivial) on the important case at hand.

The war has already been waged, but most don't know it yet, because they are too drugged up. Physically, mentally, and spiritually. By the time many act, the die will already be cast.

The inevitable cycle. One that comes eventually to every epoch of time.

To this, I will say that I understand one person cannot control the world, but they can control their world.

In closing, I declare that I refuse to participate in this madness and will be planning my exit as swiftly as possible.

To waste my time fighting a monster that has already reached a size most have yet to understand cannot be defeated by one individual, but will likely have to first feed on a great many before the lessons are learned and the beast has become tamed (Or killed).

My efforts are now focused on mastery of many things. All which will be engaged in silence.

Opposing the philosophy of the head of the rat, neck of the bull.

To that, I take my leave.

Molon Labe.

The Arch Nemesis, Pt I


Every day, individuals battle with their arch nemesis. Most of them don't even know it, nor do they know who or what that thing is.

Some will say they're "Taking on the world".

Some will say they're "Overcoming that best player on the court."

Some will say they're "Attempting to conquer that career hurdle."

That's great, but to accomplish any of these things does not defeat your arch nemesis.

It does not defeat the root of the problem.

Many of us go through life without thinking about what the root of the problem actually is.

We simply explore a set of routes that supposedly will give us that "big win" or "shortcut".

If we look closer at these routes however, we will eventually realize they were a waste of time.

They were simply distractions or a trend that had no properly assessed outcome.

It was simply a theory, created within the minds of those who have a distorted view of reality, which bled into their "rational" thinking process.

They seemed good in the short-term, but the long-term outlook was what we missed.

Short-sightedness due to this short-term thinking isn't uncommon. It's human nature.

If we can become conscious of it though, and catch it in the moment, that's when the more interesting things begin to occur.

That's the main message of the Matrix. Becoming "conscious". Aware. Observant. Vigilant.

Illuminating the realities we were desensitized to around us when we're young.

Some that we never learnt in the first place.

A lack of principle and structure in a society can do that to you.

Situational Awareness. Not just at a physical level, but at a mental level. At a spiritual level.

Consciousness is rising above the messages provided to sheep and recognizing its ambiguity or fallacies.

Consciousness is recognizing that some sheep cannot be "unplugged". At least, not at this point in time.

Consciousness is determining the wolves' intentions.

Consciousness is about discovering the lions in the den of outliers that have seen the reality.

Consciousness is about determining a defensive strategy against the destructive wolves.

Consciousness is about creating alliances with the lions we find to align with our reality, and avoiding or banishing the lions who do not.

Consciousness is about recognizing the facades you are presented everyday, and understanding the objective of those facades.

Consciousness is about finding the right information.

Consciousness is about fine-tuning an information filter that provides you a powerful practical approach to the world.

Becoming conscious requires only one victory in an individual's life.

That's right, ONLY one.

Some men never even accomplish this victory in their lifetimes.

They're distracted by an array of trivial things.

The majority of the world for you.

A giant distraction, presented in some different form every day.

Then pack on top of that temptation amplifiers.

Peer pressure, chemical imbalances through poor nutrition, all forms of addictive drugs glorified by the media or pop culture, shock tactics by propaganda...

What is this victory you must accomplish?

Who is it against.

Your arch nemesis, of course.

Is the arch nemesis your boss at your 9-to-5 job?

No.

Is the arch nemesis your government?

No.

Is the arch nemesis your family?

No.

Is the arch nemesis your financial situation?

No.

Is the arch nemesis your depression?

No.

The arch nemesis is you.

You are your own arch nemesis.

You are your own enemy.

Every day, you're the one willing yourself to clean your room. Or not.

Every day, you're the one willing yourself to go to work on time. Or not.

Every day, you're the one willing yourself to go to the gym. Or not.

Every day, you're the one willing yourself to eat the right things. Or not.

Every day, you're the one willing yourself to start (or end) that relationship. Or not.

Every day, you're the one willing yourself to pay the bills. Or not.

When you've recognized this reality, you progress to one of two stages.

Realization or denial.

Once you reach realization, then the real fun begins...
