Year 2014 published:

"Seen from this perspective, the great drama of Russia is not the “transition” between communism and capitalism, between one fervently held set of beliefs and another, but that during the final decades of the USSR no one believed in communism and yet carried on living as if they did, and now they can only create a society of simulations. For this remains the common, everyday psychology: the Ostankino producers who make news worshiping the President in the day" ― Peter Pomerantsev, Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia, year 2014

"That is the whole problem of the Grail stories, compassion for the wounded king. And out of that you also get the notion that Abelard offered as an explanation of the crucifixion: that the Son of God came down into this world to be crucified to awaken our hearts to compassion, and thus to turn our minds from the gross concerns of raw life in the world to the specifically human values of self-giving in shared suffering. In that sense the wounded king, the maimed king of the Grail legend, is a counterpart of the Christ. He is there to evoke compassion and thus bring a dead wasteland to life. There is a mystical notion there of the spiritual function of suffering in this world. The one who suffers is, as it were, the Christ, come before us to evoke the one thing that turns the human beast of prey into a valid human being. That one thing is compassion. This is the theme that James Joyce takes over and develops in Ulysses—the awakening of his hero, Stephen Dedalus, to manhood through a shared compassion with Leopold Bloom. That was the awakening of his heart to love and the opening of the way.

In Joyce’s next great work, Finnegans Wake, there is a mysterious number that constantly recurs. It is 1132. It occurs as a date, for example, and inverted as a house address, 32 West 11th Street. In every chapter, some way or another, 1132 appears. When I was writing A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake, I tried every way I knew to imagine, “What the dickens is this number 1132?” Then I recalled that in Ulysses, while Bloom is wandering about the streets of Dublin, a ball drops from a tower to indicate noon, and he thinks, “The law of falling bodies, 32 feet per sec per sec.”"

NATO / USA lost the Hybrid War that was launched in March 2013 against the World Wide Web.

1. Kremlin brags that only 1% of the manipulation Hybrid War content has been discovered and removed. NATO has entirely been unable to defend, 99% flies under the defense radar of Five Eyes (FVEY).

2. Russian military was able to completely get past USA FBI, CIA, NSA, and whatever else the Pentagon has. Competely unable to defend the population against Russian Hybrid Warfare. "For years, AIVD had access to the infamous Russian hacker group Cozy Bear. That's what de Volkskrant and Nieuwsuur have uncovered in their investigation." "the Dutch intelligence agency AIVD penetrated the computer network of a university adjacent to Red Square back in 2014, only to later realize they had tapped into APT29, aka Cozy Bear, one of the Russian government-affiliated organizations that penetrated the DNC and targeted other US government departments". "It was Dutch intelligence operatives that hacked into some of Russia's own institutions -- including their closed-circuit television cameras."

3. Putin and Surkov's "Operation Matthew 4:19" global manipulation of everyday people included turning social media consumers into Russian assets of the Hybrid Warfare who deliberately spread measles and COVID-19 virus during the pandemic. Johns Hopkins University and George Washington University validated evidence going back to year 2014.

4. Absolutely no defense has been found against this Hybrid Warfare since it was unleashed in March 2013. "At the NATO summit in Wales last week, General Philip Breedlove, the military alliance’s top commander, made a bold declaration. Russia, he said, is waging “the most amazing information warfare blitzkrieg we have ever seen in the history of information warfare.” It was something of an underestimation. The new Russia doesn’t just deal in the petty disinformation, forgeries, lies, leaks, and cyber-sabotage usually associated with information warfare. It reinvents reality, creating mass hallucinations"

Blooming Of Donald J Trump

Bloomsday of the Donald Trump White House. June 16, 2015. TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO.

Bloomsday is a commemoration and celebration of the life of Irish writer James Joyce, observed annually in Dublin and elsewhere on 16 June, the day his 1922 novel Ulysses takes place on a Thursday in 1904, the date of his first sexual encounter with his wife-to-be, Nora Barnacle, and named after its protagonist Leopold Bloom.

But soon we'll bonfire all his trash, tricks and trumpery"

"My Civic Ditty"

I wasn't going to make a part two i was going to go on with my life maybe get into bird watching or soap making but here we are... because apparently when you post a video gently suggesting that the US might be collapsing under the weight of its own stupidity people have opinions a lot of them and some of those opinions are what's the word terrifying so if you haven't seen the original video I made titled The Death of Intelligence you can find it easily on this channel.

okay let's buckle up. now look I I'm truly grateful for all the feedback i mean really it's been amazing even the guy who called me a soybased nihilist doom clown or whatever it was I'm paraphrasing. I mean hilarious i definitely laughed out loud but also inaccurate and kind of harsh i digress so this time we're going to go a little deeper this isn't just about the vibe of dumbness anymore we're going to dig deeper into where this anti-intellectual come anti-intellectualism comes from historically psychologically and systemically we're going to talk about the false equivalency thing the one where people said "How dare you imply that both political parties are contributing to this?"

Well you're right i mean they're not contributing equally but also that's not the point we'll get there and yes we'll address the people upset about the Reddit versus epidemiology thing i still believe science wins but I get it, greed ruins everything even truth. But more on that in a bit and finally we need to talk about the hundreds of people who dropped Dunning Krueger effect in the comments like they just discovered the holy grail of human psychology which to be fair they kind of did because it explains a lot but when everyone thinks everyone else is the Dunning Krueger person yeah we're still in a pile of trouble so let's rewind let's take this back not to the birth of civilization that's a different video but to the actual historical roots of anti-intellectualism because this isn't new. In fact, Richard Hoffadder Puliter Prizewinning historian wrote a book called Anti-intellectualism in American Life. He wrote this way back in 1963 which by the way I highly recommend reading so that was over 60 years ago this isn't some new Tik Tok trend where people think facts are elitist and everything smells like lavender vape and despair this has roots ugly tangled generational roots so Hoffadder traced anti-intellectualism through American culture like a coroner detailing the cause of death he pointed out how early American Protestantism already distrusted intellectual elites and the thinking was something like "We don't need your fancy Harvard degrees just give us the Bible and a pitchfork and we'll figure it out."

Now in some ways that attitude of instinct over intellect it never really left and don't get me wrong instinct it's a very useful mechanism in short-term context but it doesn't really function as a long-term strategic intellectual system which is what you need for a functioning society so in the 19th and early 20th century the US industrialized but the working class wasn't exactly encouraged to think critically they were trained to obey repeat and of course consume and intelligence became a liability in factories and eventually in politics and when the Cold War era arrived intellectuals were even seen as dangerous subversive communist adjacent eggheheads people who thought too much were accused of being unamerican and God forbid you don't want to be unamerican that's worse than being French. Just kidding no disrespect to the French

6:15

but here's the kicker this wasn't just a spontaneous cultural shift it was engineered propaganda media consolidation corporate influence you know these things didn't just accidentally make people stupider it was more efficient to keep people emotionally reactive and intellectually passive and critical thinking doesn't sell Bud Light or get you to buy five Snuggies at 3:00 a.m

so now we're swimming in that soup drowning in it really we have a society built on algorithms that reward anger echo chambers that reinforce our own ignorance and we have leaders who literally brag about not reading books it's not that people can't think it's that they're constantly punished for trying and that's where we are a culture that simultaneously demands expertise and then mocks it that screams "Do your own research" but never reads past the headline that hates elites but only the ones who read things.

7:50

Okay so let's talk about the two-party system because apparently I touched a nerve last time by saying that both political parties are contributing to the dumbification of society some people said "Whoa whoa whoa false equivalency one side is clearly worse."

Clown Population. The clowns inside the White House are only a small fraction of a total society of mock for mock, reactionary mocking, clowns. The entire nation is a "basket case of clowning around" on social machines / HDTV media machines / mockery.

People like to play a screen game of psychological denial and say ONLY MAGA is the clowns, only the White House is the clowns. It's the entire population of Untied States of America.

2. Adam Curtis, BBC, December 31, 2014: On The "Contradictory Vaudeville" Of Post-Modern Politics - "What this film is going to suggest is that that defeatist response has become a central part of a new system of political control. And to understand how this is happening, you have to look to Russia, to a man called Vladislav Surkov, who is a hero of our time. Surkov is one of President Putin's advisers, and has helped him maintain his power for 15 years, but he has done it in a very new way."
