  • Anti-modernity


    Modernity—typified by the Renaissance, colonial exploration and settlement, practical science, the Industrial Revolution, and the rise in class mobility—lost its way through the hereditary powers' fear of and contempt for class mobility. So, led by spreading upper-class deception dominating the universities, philosophers floundered and illogically blamed modernity itself for their dissatisfaction with modern life. They were tricked into nostalgia for the medieval stagnancy created by Birth-Class Supremacy.

    Sheep Goosestepping Behind Chickenhawks

    Nietzsche advocates asserting ourselves. That led to admiration for those who asserted themselves without any talent justifying that right, so bullies and aristocrats. I can see falling behind screeching Nazis if you think all other people are gutless and meek pushovers.
  • Why do atheists ask for evidence of God, when there is clearly no such evidence?
    You're persistently pushing this self-serving exceptionalism, that the existence or non-existence of God cannot be determined by mundane rules of logic and evidence. In fact, all the dishonest methods of theists convinced me to become an atheist. If you can't do any better than being slippery and evasive, you have nothing left to convince people but fear, or the desperately desired conceit of being associated with a Higher Power in a pathetic attempt to achieve superiority to those who refuse to let themselves get suckered into your primitive superstitious cult.

    Objectivity Is the Costume Egotists Dress Up In

    Theorists aren't disembodied angels incapable of distorting their preachings because of self-serving attributes of personality. It is significant that philosophers trying to protect themselves from criticism don't allow the contrary "Ad Angelum" fallacy to be discussed. Besides, "fallacy" itself is intentionally misused. It is legitimate to introduce such accusations as evidence; its only restriction is as absolute proof.

    For example, post hoc, propter hoc is usually, and acceptably, a good way of finding out the cause of an event. Last night, I had something go wrong with my eyes for awhile. What did I do before that which was a change? I took Melatonin for the first time in months. That's all I need to know; but someone who has been intentionally misled by his professors into confusion would become paranoiac about going blind.

    It's Also Irrational for Theists to Insist That There Is Only One God

    Intelligent self-design. As for the question, "Who created these monad intelligences?" it can be answered by throwing back, "Who created your God?" It is a dishonest question if it can't be applied to both assertions.

    Theists take advantage of the complicated designs to throw in some "must mean" that is an aggressive non-sequitur. Anti-theists give supernatural powers to randomness and are motivated only by some bad experience with religion.

    Also Spank Zorro's Sister

    With this snobbish term, "slave morality," you just illustrated why Nietzscheism led to Naziism. Likewise, Heisenberg's irrational physics led to his irrational and authoritarian politics. Apologists who preach that those two were inconsistent or had their ideas perverted are making shallow excuses for their own misinterpretations.

    The Unnatural Status Quo Is a Paradise for Preppie Parasites

    Similar to the Free Market fallacy, it is a distortion of the way things have to be for continuous prosperity. We don't have to accept the self-serving propaganda that things just naturally fall into such a distribution. It is all by design, and will lead to our downfall. If we have to do it on our own, so must the children of the rich. They block our way and must be removed. The race must go to the fastest, not to the "fatherest."

    Why Enter a Race Where the 1% Sets Up Its Sons Halfway to the Finish LIne?

    For example, the San Diego area also represents 1% of our population. What if one out of five Senators, one out of five network CEOs, etc. had been born in that area? How could you possibly state honestly that we live in a meritocracy unless you actually believed that the weather in Southern California produced superior individuals? What makes your delusion even more submissive is that such overwhelming representation at the top would necessitate that people class-climb based on pleasing that clique rather than on merit. If one out of five major-league baseball players were from there, it would logically imply that only rare individuals played that game in the rest of the country and would probably have to move there to develop their natural skills. So we have to insert ourselves into flattering the conceited born-rich dominating dumbos.

    A Republic Is a Foster Government

    Read more closely and you may realize that what I mean by "serf's perspective" is the opposite of direct democracy, which would be "Serfs Up!" My use of "serf's perspective" is a condemnation of those who surrender their political identity because others, who impose a republic on them, force them, by devious methods of thought control, into lacking the confidence to assert their will. Submissives really don't belong in America and should go back to kneeling before the crumbling castles of Europe, sheepishly letting themselves choke on the dust from the guillotined skulls of the Masters such cowards worship.

    Just because some citizen's individual opinion may not prevail doesn't at all mean he's given up his individual rights. Those who preach the scare stories of "mob rule" and "tyranny of the majority" want to impose snob rule and the tyranny of a self-appointed vanguard. Notice how all the Communist tyrannies refer to themselves as "republics." Rather than being tricked by the equally illegitimate other wing into saying that they aren't "real republics," I have independently concluded that all republics are elitist, decadent, and insulting to their own citizens.

    What Humanity Needs Is an Ambidextrous Guillotine

    Their is no Left Wing. After the French Revolution, the hereditary plutocracy divided into two ideologies on how to perpetuate Birth-Class Supremacy. One, the Reactionaries, decided that the best way was totalitarianism, to humiliate the working classes into absolute hopelessness and fatalistic subservience. The other division decided that democracy would inevitably supersede them unless they infiltrated democratic movements, single-mindedly pushed their way into leadership of them, and deceptively established the same Born to Rule totalitarianism. The desperate and power-hungry Marxists took advantage of the delusion that they were the most dedicated because they had the most to lose by rejecting Reactionism.
  • Poor Reasoning

    The Road to Perdition Is Patrician


    The premise may be acceptable in general, but the specific case where it is used may need a deeper and more elaborated premise. Based on the fact that the premise is defective, the inferences would necessarily be illogical, even if logical from premises that don't need to be so thorough.

    For example, 80% of the 1% were not born in the 1%. That supermajority, greater than even what is needed to override a Presidential veto, usually would prove that America is a land of class mobility. However, those born in the 1% have an outrageous 20 times their logical representation. That corrupting imbalance must be the dominating factor, so no claim of democratic inclusion can be made from this better-defined premise. In fact, the realistic inference has to be that the heiristocrats control the way for others to get ahead and would naturally only promote no-talent non-threatening brown-noses, like Cheney and Biden.

    Since "Nice Guys Finish Last," I'd Rather Be Naughty


    How about the non-existence of a similarly desired benefactor, Santa Claus? Is that a guess? Because his existence or non-existence can both be called "guesses," do we give equal credence to greedy children?

    I actually fell for Pascal's Inquisition-fear nonsense when a Hawk used it about a missile system, "If I am right, it will save us from incineration by the Soviets; if I am wrong, it will only waste a tiny portion of the budget."

    Their Loaded Question Should Fire Blanks

    Even, "Do you believe in God?" begs the question. If honestly phrased, it would be "Do you believe in the existence of God?"

    Supposed I asked, "Do you believe in Trump?" It would not mean, "Do you believe in the existence of Trump?" So by phrasing it in their pushy and accusatory way, they sneakily lead us towards an affirmative answer, because of course belief in God, in the literal sense as used with Trump, means that the person being interrogated has to be a supporter of God, which by theological definition has to be necessary if He exists.

    The Authorized Version of Prehistory Is Fundamentally False

    Yah-weh sounds a lot like the way the Romans pronounced Jove (Yo-way). It means "Go! Get away!" and indicates a horrifying invasion from the Asian steppest, such as the one thousands of years later led by Genghis Khan. The Greek version is Io, a minor wandering goddess.

    If we are allowed the idea of borrowing from entirely different languages, "Allah" is related to the Greek helios "sun." I doubt if the brain-dead fugitive Arab nomads could have come up with their own Supreme Being explanation, which was actually a primitive version of science, which they are genetically incapable of and seek to jealously destroy.

    Leisure-Class Education Is an Insult to Intelligence

    The Preppy Progressives transfer their deserved but denied guilt over being nothing without Daddy's Money to those whose opportunities are stolen through that heiristocratic appropriation. With the delusion that they are Born to Rule, they seek distortions of history in order to force Whites to feel guilty. They hate their fathers while continuing to still believe what their fathers told them, before adolescent rebellion on everything else, about their inherited superiority.

    Representation Is a Re-Presentation of Medieval Birth-Class Supremacy

    Make Every Dynasty Die Nasty

    Until hereditary privileges are identified as the perpetual cause of societal decline, we will keep sliding into the pit. Those born in the 1% have an incredibly illogical twenty times the representation in the present 1% that a rational distribution would result in. Bootlickers will point out, instead, that 80% got there on their own, but such a lopsided structure has to mean that they got there by methods created to serve the hereditary 1%, without unbiased merit and without any benefit to the 99%.

    Nerds Aren't Born That Way

    Bullying could benefit society if it made its targets man up. In a society with the right attitude, jock nerd-bashing would make High IQs drop their cowardly and self-indulgent escapism and become Alpha Males.

    So there must be something directing and manipulating this bullying that prevents toughening-up as a reaction. In this controlled and submissive society, reactions that threaten the upper class don't happen. By design, nerd-bashing takes self-respect away from those who will then meekly enrich ruling-class parasites by becoming willing Cash Cows for Corporate Cowboys. Those who think they are rebelling by becoming useless theoretical scientists are shameless cowards deserting the battlefield.

    Nerdy Runaways

    Science should visit its home and be told by its parent that it is doing things wrong. This is in line with the idea that "War is too important to leave to the generals" and "A doctor who treats himself has a fool for a patient."

    Climatologists might be told by their philosopher parent that if they were real scientists they'd be doing things like how to seed clouds, propose a pipeline to bring the glacial melt down to cure droughts, even replace trees with a far more effective converter of carbon dioxide, etc., instead of negatively criticizing the aftereffects left by the inventions of creative scientists (real scientists, according to this definition).

    Marine scientists wouldn't be real scientists, either, until they quit being merely descriptive scientists. The same with classifiers; it is dishonest to point out how their classifications, such as the periodic table, became tools for creative scientists, because the originators themselves should have been the ones to immediately start putting a classification to practical use instead of wallowing in its sterile neatness.

    Likewise, we shouldn't trust philosophers to tell us what belongs in philosophy. For example it is congenitally joined with the university, which is work without pay for its students, but no professor would
    allow philosophizing about the fact that his whole isolated world is based on class-biased indentured servitude and his own apprenticeship indicated a teenager who was afraid to grow up.

    Clouds That Glitter

    The scientific method is defective in that it should impose a final step to justify itself by coming up with the possible practical value of what it discovers. For example, if physicists had been forced to justify themselves, the neutrino might have been used as a GPS Geiger counter to map all the resources of the Earth down to its core.

    Instead, philosophy from its very beginning has been just mind candy for useless theorists. So, the way philosophy has been engaged in, it excludes the necessity to connect it to desirable activity in the real world.

    Also forbidden by philosophy is discovering and condemning the source of its contempt for practical value and common use by the despised plebeians. Nature is a pretty sight only to those sitting pretty; the hereditary ruling class gives its unearned prestige to such wandering and pointless mental masturbation. That taints all the higher arts of this high and mighty lowlife. Its hub, the university, is an obsolete aristocratic institution designed specifically to please spoiled and decadent teenagers who live off an allowance.

    Whoever Controls Language Controls Thought

    Use of the word "unfortunate" for those who may be harmful to society and may not deserve pity at all is a shallow way of describing a condition. Likewise, the "fortunate" may deserve their success when it had nothing to do with luck.

    Ironically, it is the fortunate who do not deserve their success who deceptively push this self-destructive concern for the toxic unfortunate, because people in neither status will see the falsity of pity for the losers and misfits and will be easily tricked into reacting by saying that the fortunate must deserve their condition if we are being forced to illogically conclude that all the unfortunate members of society got a raw deal.

    Present in Absent-Mindedness

    Philosophers fail to realize that they are creating a separate world that can fall apart if applied too closely to the real world. Russell's problem with "the set of everything that doesn't belong to a set" brings that out; it is a self-made contradiction, but it doesn't contradict the fact that he has abstracted his philosophical world from reality. The first rule must be existence; he forgets that his system exists only in his fearfully wandering speculations. It should only be viewed as an approximation to reality; its internal contradiction only proves that it is a temporary substitute and shouldn't be expected to be complete within itself.

    Inferior Minds Are Incapable of Making Analogies

    In order to get paid what they're worth, superior minds must copy the successful change made by superior athletes, who earn as much as a thousand times what they did before they unionized. Besides being properly rewarded as a kid, at age 18 Derek Jeter got almost a million dollars to put himself through baseball's equivalent of college education. Over and above that and his salary for twenty years, the Yankees got 250 times what they had invested in him.

    Likewise, apply what you claim about the effects of parental pressure and focusing on one goal to student athletes. Despite all that, they become popular social players anyway. They don't get intimidated by blowhard club owners. The difference is that only a few members of the hereditary plutocracy get richer off them, whereas High IQs create all the surplus wealth of the rest of the parasite regime.

    Don't expect the solution to come from those who propose and control our false options. What you say in objection is a misinterpretation that benefits the status quo. Education, from K to PhD must be changed to imitate the success America has had in developing athletic talent. As it is slowly going sterile times, we are set up like some small island that gets its prosperity from how many athletes it can develop fully.

    Socialite Socialism


    Marx was an upper-class snob who had nothing but contempt for the proletariat. He married a Patty Hearst type countess and was put under her spell of post-guillotine hereditary power's scheme to take over democratic movements and impose its own Born to Rule tyranny on the workers. Communism is State Capitalism, nothing more than a Capitalist hostile takeover, with the workers screwed either way.

    The true revolution should be to abolish all birth privileges, the true source of this evil and fake alternative. No inheritance, no trust funds, no living off an allowance in college. Notice that the university is the cradle of Communism, which proves that it itself is for richkids with "independent incomes."

    "Prep school" is short for PREPare for college. Instead, all students should be paid a higher salary than they can expect anywhere else at that age, and free tuition. That will get the most talented, not the bluebloods and their boytoys who represent the student body in this decadent society.

    Prometheus Unchained

    Corporate patents steal from inventors, the real creators of wealth. After awhile, geniuses get sick of being Cash Cows for Corporate Cowboys and creativity stops. There have always been concentrations of wealth, but material progress only came with the advancement of science the past few hundred years.

    Investment is necessary but not decisive. It's like an ignition key: you can't go anywhere without it, but it's only worth a few dollars. It is not the motor. Therefore Capitalism has nothing to brag about, but it controls the broadcast of brag.

    The flip side of that is that it controls the way High IQs are treated, as freaks and social losers. Submitting to this by becoming a nerd is self-destructive; it is an insult to intelligence. Straight-A students must become Alpha Males; only then will they stand up to the King Apes and tame them. They must get at least 50% of the value of corporate patents. With the wealth they created and deserve, they will soon drive out the investors whom we are so foolishly dependent on today.
