*** Please Note: An error I made has been changed. I don’t know how I did it but instead of saying “Free speech is our ticket out of this hellhole” I wrote “Censorship is our ticket out of this hellhole”. A truly goofy mistake, which someone smartly picked up. The error has now been corrected. Thank you.
Remember watching comedy shows when you were a child – like the Three Stooges for example and how they might be working on a construction site and one of them, say Larry, picks up a plank that’s about eight feet long, puts it on his shoulder and walks with it to another location. And as he walks the plank extends four feet each way in front and behind him. He turns and as he does, he knocks down everything that is within the radius of the plank. He goes about his business, totally oblivious to the area that extends beyond his body wreaking havoc upon anyone or anything that is standing in close proximity.
Remember seeing that as a child? Remember watching with wincing incredulity that anyone could be this stupid? Wanting to warn him to avoid the damage he may inflict on those around him and maybe even calling something out like “watch out” even though you knew he couldn’t hear you. It was just a comedy show. Nonetheless you would think how dumb Larry is that he walks around with a plank on his shoulder totally clueless about the area he has control over and treating it as though he doesn’t have an 8 foot plank on his shoulder, it’s just his body he navigates by without adjusting for the greater width he now in his control.
Many slapstick comedy shows had silly antics like that. You as the viewer could see the solution and wanted to call it out and you thought how dumb these guys are and wondered why anyone would hire them for anything. I want to direct you to recalling now, that feeling of watching the stupidity going on before your eyes and not being able to do anything about it. The angst. The frustration. It was a movie of course but the feeling of wanting to clue him in, the feeling of watcning a disaster happen so blatantly and unnecessarily and being powerless to avert it, while Larry just walked on smashing things all around him, including people.
That is the feeling I get when I look at humanity today.
I see people sicker than ever, debilitated, unable to think straight, or to think at all outside of their immediate needs or wants. I see people brushing away anything that takes them out of their little navigation sphere. I see people like ant colonies that go about doing their business without any inkling of the greater picture each little ant is part of and weaving by their actions.
The ants know that banks are totally corrupt, that they make no sense, along with the stock market, the government, the laws, education, science and just about anything you can poke a stick at. Nothing makes sense today. How long have you realized this? Or at least suspected it? It used to be covered up so it was harder to spot but now, it’s in our faces everywhere.
I recall as a child squinting at so many things that simply didn’t make sense. People would explain them away casually but really you could tell many times that it was just to fob it off and not have to think about it. Their explanations didn’t quite gel but they thought just having an explanation even if that too didn’t make sense, was enough to satisfy anyone’s questioning.
I notice many things that nobody notices. And when I explain them they simply explain them away with an analysis that also doesn’t make sense. But they feel satisfied by it. They simply dismiss any inconsistencies. It may be a subject that I have studied and observed for many years but that they were only made aware of it when I explained it to them, yet they try to tell me that what I have observed is bunk. It is so annoying when people do that and they do it a lot. Conversely, someone with degrees or titles they listen to even though they may make no sense (for example, covid-brainwashed doctors)
Looking at the way humans conduct themselves leaves me very nonplussed. Just like Larry with the plank, I can see the ones who run things are making a foul mess of everything. But the ants are happy to remain in oblivion and how dare anyone try to mess that up. They know that this is the best of all worlds, that there can be nothing better, look at Communism.
They are unable to make an adjustment to their thinking because they have put too much work into it. They may have spent years for example, studying the law. So how can they now turn away from it when you explain that the law is two-dimensional and we are multi-dimensional. Should we be ruled by something lesser than ourselves?
Surely two-dimensional words cannot dominate multi-dimensional beings. This seems pretty obvious and a fair statement. But when people look at laws, they don’t see them as being two-dimensional, not the mention seeing themselves as multi-dimensional. They see laws as being the basis and foundation of human life and “civilization”. So they are not going to take in what I say about this. And it’s like I’d said nothing. However some of it must surely still go in…
The written word is but a minuscule reflection of our multi-dimensional selves. It’s absurd to think that the written word could possibly cover all of human conduct and situations. For us to refer to law before engaging in any conduct is dim-witted and cumbersome. Certainly the ones who write the laws don’t follow them. They write them for the ants. The ants think that if someone didn’t write these instructions for them, that chaos would ensue. They rarely look at the chaos that has ensured already from the ants actually obeying laws.
The idea of obeying is something we all started off believing when we were children – we were impressed to obey our parents because we were new in the world and didn’t have experience. For some reason the idea of obedience carried through to adults. The idea that we as adults should obey other adults makes no sense. Now really, you know this doesn’t make sense. There are no adults who are so perfect that their instructions must be the ones that have to be obeyed. Being an adult means we are free to choose how to conduct our life.
So we are going around with this belief that we must obey the WHO, or the WEF or the government or the doctor, or the bureaucrat. And equally fallacious that we must use certain notes to engage in business with our peers. It has to be certain notes that are deemed “legal tender” and the ants obey this automatically.
The idea of obeying needs to become extinct. And soon. It does not serve us. It only serves totalitarians. It doesn’t mean we don’t abide by agreements or guidelines. But we must understand that for every law, for every rule, there are exceptions. There has to be because like mentioned earlier, there is no way that two-dimensional words and phrases can encompass what it means to be a multi-dimensional being. If we didn’t have laws ,the agreements we would make with each other would hold much more weight and honor because it would be something we live by. It would be another paradigm. So we cannot make assumptions based on the way things happen in this paradigm. Those that breach their agreements will be taken note of and this is what will incentivize people to live by their agreements. Amongst the honorable even today, this is happening. If you let down someone you made an agreement with, you will be known in those circles and avoided having business done with you again. It takes a lot to recover from untrustworthiness. And this is the proper state of affairs.
With laws, it simply makes us not have to think for ourselves. We don’t get to use our creative abilities. Just blanket rules that everyone thoughtlessly adheres to and arranges their lives in whatever way complies with the law. Sure, they are aware of the threats should they not comply but they rarely look to see if there are ways to circumvent being told what to do. They rarely even ask. They are simply resigned to always being told what to do and simply abiding by it. Even if it means the loss of their business, the loss of their children, the loss of their homes. They contort themselves this way and that in order that they “do the right thing” and obey every law, but it doesn’t matter, there will always be something that will come down upon them one day because the law is not made to do what the ants think they are made to do. The laws are made to intimidate you into compliance so that you lose all your confidence. They make you lose your creative mind, they make you lose your cohesion with other humans. It’s all about debilitating you. Just like the medical system. Just like the education system. Just like science. Just like finance. Yes there are always a small percentage that make it through that can be held up as trophy examples in favor of the system. But here again is something we need to open our eyes to is that we must look at things in terms of ratios and contexts not just unconnected, unrelated instances.
Currently we are living in the fulcrum or pivot point of change, massive change. The basic tenets of our beliefs are no longer relevant. New technologies infiltrate every facet of our lives. The basic tenets were originally made when men and women toiled over growing the food that fed them, took weeks to travel from one side of a continent to the other, where information was as fast as a horse and buggy. But today we have machines that take up much of our toil, we have aviation that enables us to travel the seas within a few hours, automobiles that move us around town in a flash, and information that lets us communicate in real time, instantly, immediately.
Well this has never been done before. These empowerments change everything. Yet our foundational beliefs have not changed one iota. We are still registering cars, still getting driving licenses, still having to deliver “important documents” physically, still having to front up to get services from governments, still waiting for documents to be “mailed” to us, still taking years to complete a law suit, still using reams of paperwork. We live by old-fashioned and out-dated ways yet we have so much technology that could make our lives uber simple.
Everything changes and everything has changed but we still use the same money system that always has been used. When is that going to be upgraded? We talk about Ai taking over (I use a small “i” as it is a lesser intelligence, even though it may be faster) and how this will change our lives. It will take over most of our “jobs” and so we won’t need to be doing much of the work that has been traditionally done by humans. But...but...the value of money was based on work time, on wages, admittedly it was loosely but it had a semblance to how much a person earned. And now that has changed because we don’t have traditional work and Ai is taking over our jobs, so then what value does money actually have today?
We must understand that value is always subjective. People try to unprove this simple principle. They try to say that money has no value because it is fiat and it had value when it was based on gold. But really all money is fiat because all money is just a made up game. There is nothing intrinsically natural about money. It’s like 7-day week – totally made up. What many fail to understand is the value placed on gold was itself totally subjective. Who put this value on gold? (The banks) The gold also had to be dug out of the ground but that didn’t seem to come into the value of it at all so value really only covers what we look at. If there was a drought and water was scarce or a famine and food was scarce, nobody would want gold. So it would have no value in that context. All value depends on the context.
Another value that is totally ignored is environmental degradation. Commerce can denature the environment handily yet the damage is rarely if ever, reflected in the price of its products. There is no accounting for this damage. In fact the damage to the environment (our life source remember!) is barely acknowledged at all – by anyone. These are resources that the future generations should enjoy as much as we do. But look around – practically all the water is contaminated. There is barely a place now that we can drink from streams or rivers safely. The conveyor belt of trash just keeps on spewing forth so that we are destroying lands and seas with the accumulation. Yet people continue to buy disposable plastic often in something they use everyday. The lack of awareness is affronting. They just never “join the dots”. Every instance is like a planet lost in space, isolated, never taken in context, never seen in terms of its relationship to their own home.
The ants just keep digging, keep working, and keep running around busily winning a trick here or there and reveling at their cleverness. They don’t see their environment degrading, they don’t see their world being poisoned, they don’t see the health pf humanity deteriorating. They dare not think they can do anything about it. They are too small after all - they are only ants – and there are so many ants doing the same thing, it’s impossible to change the ant world.
So here I sit witnessing all this and my words falling on Teflon ears. Words and concepts just wash off and often even held in contempt.
I see the root of what ails humanity and my age or experience counts not a whit. I’m not fishing for honor but people need to acknowledge wisdom that comes from years of experience. I don’t take it personally, I know that’s how everyone thinks or fails to think. There is no awareness of the holders of wisdom. There is no value attributed to wisdom. There are no principles we hold sacred such as free speech or body autonomy. The only principle I can think of that we hold sacred is making a living, meaning making money. That’s everyone’s modus operandi and priority.
So here we are – all of us – ready to slide into the hot oil. The heat has been turned on slowly to date but soon it’s going to be turned on full high. And here today and everyday, we go about our business as though the heat will always remain constant and we’ll be able to jump through the hoops like we’ve always done. Little do we know that we are being herded into behaviors and patterns that will enable the sorcerers to have us nicely arranged in our appropriate pens (15 minute cities) Little do we know we are in line for the slaughter house. Stay in your lane, put your head down and be a good little livestock.
I can tell you why we experience such suffering but you won’t take any notice probably. The odd person will. The root of what ails humanity is only seeing the world through one perspective. And the reason we experience suffering is because of what we do to animals. It goes against our biology to torture animals who do not have many choices. We humans have almost limitless choices and we were given these for a reason – it was to take care of our fellow animals. We can live stupendous lives with all the choices that are available to us. We have done a woeful and brutal job of this most hallowed purpose. That is our main purpose yet the ants don’t know it. They don’t even wonder what our purpose is. They know that if they don’t do as they are told by people in positions, or in uniforms or do what signs or documents tell them, then they will be in even more trouble than the already-imposed trouble they are in in their everyday lives to just get by on this earth.
It’s quite a nail-biting finale – will the ants wake up? Will they simply say one day that they’ve had enough? Will they say the word “NO” and bring the entire edifice - as colossal as it is - to a crumbling heap? Will they realize that is all it takes? Will their hearts get sick of being an ant when they know they could be a lion or even more – a human? Will they choose to put their head down and continue to avoid trouble or will they choose to refuse to comply with demands that insult their soul? I cannot answer that – by the looks of it it’s not looking good. There are too many who want to put their heads in the sand and continue the same processes that led us to this fiasco. It’s like being part of a stampede, one person here or there cannot stem the tide.
But there is something we can do that we fail to recognize has immense power and resonance – we can speak. We can discuss, we can share ideas, we can talk to each other. The power of this cannot be understated. Isn’t it why censorship is so popular amongst totalitarians? Isn’t that the go-to they always use. Speech – it’s as valuable as oxygen. They try to guilt us into thinking it has to be factual speech but really what is that? Who decides? The answer is we know what is factual by speaking, by talking and exchanging ideas. We cannot know by simply being told we are not factual. “Misinformation” or “disinformation” is easily countered by more speech, not no speech. Free speech is our ticket out of the hellhole. It may seem so simple you might ignore it. But that is what the kings of the dung hill want more than anything – they want to curb our speech. They know how powerful speech is.
Speech encourages truth and truth is the essence of human interaction. Beware when you stifle someone’s speech and always make a fuss if someone tries to stifle yours. Better for all of us that we reposte to speech that we deem unfavorable rather than ignore it. It must never be allowed to slip by. Humans are meant to communicate and we cannot communicate if we cut each other off. We are here to express our unique individuality. When we return to our purpose, everything will have the effect of falling into place. It will reverse all the ills that weigh on us today. It will be the spanner in the works that will render it impotent. We need to get back onto our perch where we see ourselves as the intelligent species once again, with choices that are practically unlimited and seize our power of free speech. It is the most fundamental power that gives us agency. Cherish it well and never let it be put asunder.
Don’t be an ant any longer. All it takes is a decision that you make.
To my readers - I accidentally stated in a sentence towards the end that censorship is our ticket out of this hellhole when I meant to say (of course) free speech. So I have edited that out (as quickly as I could)! Thank you Frederick Reed for pointing it out.
Telling story is what will save us. The controllers have controlled the narrative for thousands of years. Now there are 1 billion stories a day, the controlled narrative machine is doomed. Programming and computers may be a male dominated technology, but speech and storytelling, really belongs to women. I see social media as a feminine process. I believe we are leaving the realm of action, delusions of grandeur, monstrous crazy ass lies. We are entering the era of talk, think, listen, talk, think about what was said, talk some more, think about what was said again. Once all of the talk and thinking is exhausted The right action will be taken. The right action will be modest, kind and useful. The witches will be outed, the pompous pummeled in comment sections.
