🗒️Summary: Often, I write my work with a presumption in mind: Progress is bad. This view is based in various points of view, some on the question of Industrialism, others on the corrosion inherit to progress-centric politics. This, in the eyes of most people, would put me firmly into the camp of “conservative”, which is a rather vague term, if I’m going to be honest. I do not embrace the title of “conservative”, not only because labels are bad, but also because the label is inaccurate.

🗒️Summary: Radicals, at least the core base of them, have to, by definition, be losers. People usually only take stances for changing society, especially fundamentally changing society, if they see a problem with the society. More often than not, people given the short-end of the stick are the ones who are going to see the problems in society. Well-off, average people, however, have a lot to lose when supporting something revolutionary or radical in society, given that they’re profiteering from the status quo.

🗒️Summary: Humanity has convenience and choice to such a point it borders on vice. Humanity assumes, due to said convenience and choice being an easy-to-digest abstraction over the complex reality of the world (along with the systems we build to deal with the complex reality), that the convenience and choice is simply a fact of reality that cannot be contested. Concisely: Since convenience and choice is delivered in an easy format, it’s easy to simply assume that it’ll be there due to its prevalence in society.

🗒️Summary: Imagine that two kingdoms are at war, let’s call one the Kingdom of Letoid (The Letoids), and the other kingdom is the Kingdom of Righcuk (The Righcuks). These two kingdoms have been at war for 30 years, and it’s very clear that the Letoids have the upper-hand, although due to internal stability issues, they must negotiate a ceasefire with the Righcuks. The Letoid kingdom sends a liaison to the Righcuks offering a meeting between the two kingdoms to discuss a ceasefire.

🗒️Summary: Concisely, precisely, this article will explain the anatomy of the rot that afflicts society as a whole. The source of this rot, how the rot manifests itself, and the conclusions of what the rot will bring upon us if it is to be tolerated in its festering will be discussed. What is the rot The rot is the self-accelerating, self-sustained, unprincipled breakdown of all extropic structures that are used as a means of navigating through, sorting out, and governing the logical and experienced world.

🗒️Summary: “Vice is easy, virtue is hard” is a common mantra that I don’t believe to be true. The default perception of virtue is that it’s a thing to struggle towards, while vice is very easy to pick up and “enjoy”. While some vices and some virtues do fit this preconception, I find it hard to believe that it’s true for everything, or even most things. Is a productive hobby really so “hard” to do when you are driven by the enjoyment from it?

🗒️Summary: A cyber-ethos is, effectively, what most people would refer to as a community on the internet. It is a collective of people on the internet who are contributing to one, centralized internet culture that puts it apart from other internet cultures. Classic examples would be the SCP Foundation, general 4chan culture, and the various deep iFunny communities. For those engrossed in internet memetics, such as myself, these cyber-ethoses serve as the cultural upstream from which most of the internet deviates from.

🗒️Summary: If any article I write is going to be worth skipping, this will be the one. Reason why: this will about a contemporary, developing topic. Most people who talk about anything of value should know that whatever concept or topic lies in “the new” is going to get the worst discussion. New topics have no depth, very little theory behind them, and every pseudo-intellectual will have their unprincipled, pet-opinion to toss into the ring on the subject.

🗒️Summary: It’s common to hear people state that “labeling” and categorizing people based on politics is a bad idea. In normie politics, it’s often said that it creates “bias” or tribal mentalities, and those attributes are a negative as they harm the political endeavor of democracy by making less rational voters. At face value this is a decent argument, that is if you’re a fan of democracy (which I am not).

🗒️Summary: Localism, at least localism in the material world, is an extinct concept. There no longer is a culture of people bound together by material necessity in industrialized nations. What little there is left of a community is defined predominantly by carry over obligations and emotional attachments, but not necessity and interdependence. Because of this, there has been a breakdown in autonomy and political effect in favor of more centralized, globalistic cultures.

🗒️Summary: I’m sure many are aware of cyborgs, cybernetic organisms, and the general idea behind them. It’s the concept of biological life merging with artifical life. In its most classic conception, it brings about images of mechanistic implants in the eyes, robotic arms, and, to some of the most imaginative, implants within the brain. The concept is fun for science fiction, but with each passing Elon Musk tweet, we get closer to this cultural meme turning into a macabre reality.

🗒️Summary: Most ideologues are rolling in their grave due to their follower's abstraction obsessions. This article is a more refined version of a draft of a previous article I had. The previous article attacked ideologues for their obsession with aesthetic rather than good politics. Midway through writing that article, I realized that the problem stems much deeper than mere aesthetic obsession, but rather the tendency for ideologues to become so obsessed with the constructs of their ideology that they forget why they believe in the ideology in the first place.

This is primarily because the law is written by idiots and the evil.

🗒️Summary: People are always shocked to hear that I support trade unions (conceptually that is). If you haven’t picked up on it by now, I’m right-wing, in fact, incredibly right-wing and since right wingers, usually, are infected with the horrible “I oppose current thing” mind-virus, it may be a shock that I support something that’s usually left wing. Now, I am not for unions as they currently stand under the NLRA: A monopolistic, democracy-influenced monstrosity that posits that it is the “exclusive representatives of all the employees” and, in some states, can demand the pay of other workers if you don’t live in a “right-to-work” state.

🗒️Summary: Anyone chronically online knows about the “old internet”, both the literal old internet and the nostalgia bait, nouveau “old internet” that is populated by contrarian hipsters (such as myself) who desire nothing more than to make front end shit again. Both are enigmas in their own right, with the actual old internet being a time capsule from when millennials were zoomers, 9/11 defined the era, and Moore’s law was actually believed to be true.

🗒️Summary: Dissidents to our current regime find themselves in an unfortunate type of war: a war against themselves. A good portion of those dissidents roaming around today, rather they be trumpsters, communists, monarchists, reactionaries, Luddites, anarchists, libertarians, or some other variant of anti-status quo activist, are on the outs of society intellectually, yet are dependent on it physically (and psychologically). Their body and emotions are at war with their allegiance to their intellectual notions.

🗒️Summary: This may come as a shock, but our current political situation isn’t all that political. It’s a situation, it’s a problematic situation, and it is as it seems when it comes to the parties involved, but those parties are not political parties advocating for policy, they’re parties advocating for entirely different societies. This may come out as a little confusing at first. Most moderate conservatives and progressives both agree that we live in the same society together, we eat the same food, we drink the same drinks, we fly the same banner, and we vote in the same elections.

🗒️Summary: One very common misconception that I see online is that your social media accounts are important because “that’s where your friends are”. This line of thinking is more common among the chronically online types than other groups, a group I am very familiar with as I am one. Thankfully, or unfortunately for some, your “online friends” really do not care about you and will not miss you if you disappeared one day.

🗒️Summary: This site used to be a website of “blogging” and it was frankly terrible. Any time I look back on those old blog posts I made, I cringe horribly because I knew I could do better. However, with this cringe comes vital knowledge: If you’re going to host a website online, make it a website with articles rather than blog posts. Blogging gives you a “Tweet mindset” Blogging as a format is focused more on short, easy to digest, quantity-based postings rather than proper, longer-form developed posts.

🗒️Summary: Rather you like it or not, this is what peak dissenter looks like. Dissenters have a hard time doing any actual damage to the systems they hate. Larpy marches on the capitol, failed attempts to attack big tech, and terrible attempts at political unity all plague any right-wing movement in America. It seems that those against the system cannot catch a break when they make organized attempts. So, maybe it’s time for a different approach.

🗒️Summary: Corporate Reductionalism Corporations aren’t real. NGOs aren’t real. Government’s aren’t real. These are some statements that, to the observation of most, are plainly false. People shop at Walmart and eat at McDonalds. People donate to the FSF and heed the World Economic Forum’s words. You likely pay taxes to a Government, federal, state, provincial, local, or other. All these institutions do exist in effect, but the categories they belong to are not real categories due to the fact that these categories lack utility and can instead be reduced to one category of great defining utility: organization.

🗒️Summary: Specialization is for incects. Don’t do it! Over-specialization is a perfect way to entrap yourself in one skill. It’s simply not a good idea for both career and practical reasons. If you’re only good at one thing, you’ll never have back up plans, you’ll never be able to analogize properly, and you’ll never be able to synergize other skills. What is Over-specialization? Over-specialization is when a person focuses all their effort onto one or a small set of related skills in such a way that other skills atrophy or never develop.

🗒️Summary: College is a joke. The punchline is the fact that you get scammed out of time and money for an overvalued certification. Most fields are over-staffed and you shouldn't go into them. The fields that aren't overstaffed won't pay for the education you got. Even if you're lucky enough to get a full ride scholarship (or go on the taxpayer's dole), you will be losing plenty of time in the process for what might be very little reward.

🗒️Summary: Conservatism as an ideology isn’t real. To be conservative is to want a current status of society to be continued. The content of said fixed point is laid out in political context of said society. A conservative in 1940s Russia would be a Stalinist and a conservative in 2020 America should be a socially left, economically right, welfare capitalist. In America at least, this group is known as liberals or progressives and your average American conservative is likely not going to identify with the usual ideas supported by liberals or progressives.

If one takes The critiques of the Cosmological arguments levied by Paul Edwards seriously (that the Cosmological argument isn't necessarily true due to the fact that a universe could be a self-sustaining infinite regress), then one must hold to infinitist beliefs. But, let's not get ahead of ourselves, what is Infinitism?

🗒️Summary: "Order may arise from chaos" is a common justification against teleological arguments in favor of God or a Grand Architect. Simply put, the world having order isn't necessarily indicative of there being a creator of that order. As an example, repeating digits in a random pool of numbers are a form of order found in chaos. Tribes and bonds forming out of random groups of people are too. Throwing a die and getting the same number repeatedly is also order in chaos.

🗒️Summary: Allegories, parallels, and comparisons are an incredibly useful mechanism for conveying information in any discussion. If one can compare an abstract or unfamiliar concept with the familiar, that concept becomes more tangible to the recipient of the information. This knowledge is likely something an English teacher told you in third grade. It's an elementary concept, but one that is important. I don't think many would deny the fact that allegories are used and allegories have utility, however, there is an annoying misunderstanding in allegorical discussions that will become painfully obvious once pointed out: People take allegories too literally.

🗒️Summary: Cogito, ergo sum is the basic notion of "I think therefore I am" that Descartes used to prove the existence of the world. This Cogito was then broken by multiple philosophers (namely due to the fact that the statement "I think therefore I am" implies an improvable identity due to the existence of I) and thus has left this proof as a way of looking at the world broken. Though, what hasn't been contemplated as much as it should is if there is still a world to be built from here, and I believe there there is.

Trump and the election allegations against Joe Biden were a sign of a decaying democracy and the right's disillusion with it. Of course, they put it in a pea-brained fashion as to hit on certain emotional trigger words that'll rile the public up: They'd call Trump a fascist and compare him to Hitler when, in reality, he wasn't that autocratic, but he certainly did have the traits of an undemocratic leader.

I will admit, in terms of compatibility and usability, it was great and should be respected in that regard, but has been abandoned with no plans for upcycling, meaning that no one is officially developing Windows 7 anymore.

These people are those who reject skill, downplay accomplishment, and then have the crab mentality to pull down those who are confident. They are the type of person who makes fun of someone being knowledgeable or skilled. They usually have accomplished nothing of note themselves. These sorts of parasitic people are incapable of even the most basic tasks that require even minimal amounts of skill due to a rejection of self-improvement in favor of self-deprecation.

🗒️Summary: Human internal states can be abstracted and explained in many ways. Much of the Philosophy of Mind wishes to explain the relationship of the human consciousness to the body and how that effects us. This is not that. This is an abstracting layer above the Philosophy of Mind that wishes to give us meaningful interpretation of the mind and its faculties. These interpretations are far from unique and are what I use to define the internal state of being that I hold.
