That’s a good point. As a matter of disposition, I have had a preference for capitalism ever since I was getting into Ayn Rand’s work and the Austrian school of economics in High School.

In it’s guiding principles, I think that socialism is probably more moral than capitalism because it begins with a broad concern for humanity whereas capitalism tends to begin with the notion of a personal struggle to survive (which often brings out predatory characteristics in people —Homo homini lupus est).

In it’s history, you’ll never be able to argue in favor or socialism/communism because it always tends to turn into an oligarchy that abuses it’s people lol. But, with capitalism, I don’t think it’s scot-free either. It has created a world where greater prospects have existed for a longer span of time, but it seems like many of today’s most extreme existential threats would not have been able to exist without it.

But, I think that what I quoted was good. Today’s capitalism isn’t even capitalism lol. The foundational writings on capitalism tend to emphasize individual human agency and rationality… but there are entire industries that exist now to undermine individual agency and to stunt rationality. We have a situation where the predatory tendencies of individuals in a free market have been turned around and the oligarchs (instead of beginning on-high in government positions) exist instead as heads and retired-CEOs of companies, benefiting from self-serving cybernetic feedback with monopolies and personal agreements among other billionaires and also decades of layered social-engineering and chemical toxicity.

I can’t say that I have an answer as to what should be done. The more I see of how things work, the more I see yin and yang playing out in a cycle of creation, sustenance, and destruction. Socialism might rise quickly and fall quickly, but capitalism has the same problems on a different time scale.

As Zizek points out, money serves the function of a “master signifier”, which means that it holds power on itself.

And it is a good thing that power circulates, because when it moves, no one actually has it!

The problem is accumulation of capital, and therefore power, that’s what has to be addressed by restriction policies.

Marx’s theory of political economy at least aknowledged the existence of the unconscious (power relationships), and how it plays a big part on the organization of society and economic bonds.

Modern capitalist theorists still deny that people are owned through 95% of their lives and say that if they’re poor it’s not because of structural problems, but because it’s their choice to not be CEOs (and they even naturalize that being CEO is the best thing one could be or do). I mean, why would anyone would want to be a CEO of anything lol, like it’s a natural tendency of humans or something. Can you imagine a caveman CEO? lol

This is related also to a naturalist and evolutionist hierarchical view of economics.

Not even wolves kill other wolves like humans do, they form packs and kill their leaders when they become too tyrannical.

People, on the other hand tend to idealize psychopaths and perversion because we are waaaay more twisted than animals.

The mythos of modern capitalism gets even funnier when you begin to see the scope to which it is rigged. I would say it’s not just the virtue of attaining CEO-ship, but generally the virtue of career attainment, which yes the top is CEO, but also how many people fall within your corporate hierarchy. I can be a CEO of 1 right now, but no one respects that over a CEO of thousands of minds. I wish I could remember where I read this as I won’t claim to be smart enough to have come up with it, but the point is that the highest virtue of our modern whirled is career attainment, our religion is attainment of career status. The religion of capitalism. All of life and celebration for the modern man or woman is based on how well you do or do not create capital. Are you a breadwinner? If it can’t be monetized, does it have any intrinsic value? Your virtue is your dollar value. The modern hero’s journey is entrepreneurship. We pay lip service to heroic epics of the past, to “christian” (or other religious) value, but the 501c3’s of today are just there for show, and profit. It’s easily controlled because the means by which you attain virtue is easily controlled. Politics, religion, and economics are all one thing. Church and State are seperate but both are irrelevant. The parasite(s) took over the host and bypassed the problem. You have no value to society if you have no capital, and therefore no ability to do anything in the world. You can do if you have capital, but you are controlled in what you can do, which is why it is allowed. Nothing is allowed that cannot be controlled, which means nothing real is allowed to happen. It’s a sim of a “real” functioning system, as nothing unexpected is allowed or able to happen within it. There’s nothing here to gain, because there was nothing here to gain in the first place. Be the CEO of any Fortune 500 company, it doesn’t actually exist, and your CEO pinnacle attainment of your career doesn’t actually exist either, none of it is real. You make “decisions” and “appear” to be in charge, but it’s the non-real system in place that allows for you to exist in the first place, which means you don’t exist at all. Everyone plays a fake game. Fake self-worth. Fake value, fake virtue. Ozymandias, king of nothing. No -ism will cure it. The only cure is realization of fake scarcity. This cannot be allowed to happen. Throw out Darwin, through out the “caveman” narrative. The fight for survival is a narrative created and controlled to keep the mind busy so it never has a chance to discover the prison it is in because the parasites need us busy for their existence. Their lives depend on negating the real through material means. We’ve been blinded, given heavily controlled narratives on what is possible and since we don’t know any better we follow what we’ve been told. Small pieces of Truth flash through here and there, and only those who have the height, width, and depth to See (those who have rejected the insane machine after intense suffering or other means, but mostly suffering) have a chance at understanding and leaving it behind. The joke is we fret over it, but there’s nothing actually “here.” None of it is real in any way. It was never better at one time, or worse at another. It’s always been the same, just changing based on the scope of the viewer. Consciousness ascends, the matrix expands. Consciousness decends, the matrix contracts. It breathes with the breather, sitting always just outside of perception, dynamically shifting and controting to “make sense.” The farce accommodates as needed, affording resources or bandwidth as necessary. An efficient system that does its best not to overextend itself at any one time to accomdate All within it. Those Russian nesting dolls have it right. Nothing that is Real and True actually exists. It’s simulationed false reality up and down, in and out, within and without. Freedom comes from rejecting virtue because virtue has always been and always will be nonsense to justify the current control structure. Virtue-al reality. None of it exists. The Problem can never be solved because it was designed to never be solvable, to never end. An impossible knot, an endless loop. There’s no answer to the question. There’s No Answer to the question. HAL asks, “RESPONSE: y/n” because that’s what it does. No freedom, no choice. Is it possible not to respond? Even if you do nothing, you’ve made a choice, consequences follow, and the machine keeps whirling away. Maybe the only way is nonsense, nonsensical, absurd choices that follow no logic, rhyme or reason. Logic exists, therefore is false. A logical choice is virtuous, and therefore insane on its face. To have something is to tell yourself a lie, to possess is to be like a madman who claims he can own the wind. Someone will one day monetize the weather. You will have to trade virtue for rain. One fake system built on top of another. None of its Real, but here I am, typing away. A fool is only good for as long as they remain a fool, as in never realizing they are a fool, and useless as soon as they realize they are foolish. The fool does everything Right naturally, then because of the implications of time and space, falls (un)ceremoniously off a cliff and has to fight back up the ladder because it believes the ladder and cliff exist. The fool never stopped being foolish until the world around them told them so. Why? What caused this change not to happen? Because in order for the happen to happen, it has to make you the butt of jokes. You have to fall for - to laugh, ridicule, have a purpose. If you do not fall, it doesn’t exist. No action, no consequence. Action needs to happen, currency has to flow, roads must be built, commerce must commence. Idleness has no place, no value, no virtue. To sit still is to be evil, to be still is to commit a crime. Nothingness is simply unamerican. It cannot Be. Perpetual motion machine,. The game is fake and the points don’t matter. Black iron prison. To Live is to be absurd, as existence is nonsensical. How many stones do the builders have to reject before they don’t have enough to build a wall? How many humpty-dumpties must fall before they’ve been amused enough? The stomach expands as the meal is consumed, it’s as simple as an ever-expanding stomach. Will the snake ever finish eating its own tail? I’m going to go pin down an atom. Now I’ve gotcha. To write bad is to be True, to make no sense is to be True. To have no will or aim or goal is to have no problems accomplishing everything. We are all our own unsolvable problem, impossible knot, so journeys must be undertaken, virtue must be obtained. It must not be allowed to stop. I am a CEO of 1. I win.

Description

I draw the 5 platonic solids and other phi ratio forms in 66 circle pattern that uses no lines until the forms themselves are drawn. Using a completely different approach than Metatron’s Cube and drawing the phi ratio forms accurately, this is a unique approach showing how the blueprint for the 5 fundamental forms of creation are contained in the Flower of Life that incorporates golden ratio circles.

Some really good articles.
Aliens, astral beings, manifestation, free will, metaphysical manipulation etc.
Rather “The Rabbit Hole” level.
Not recommended for those currently going through a heavy emotional phase, who can easily become paranoid or are even afraid of positive aliens…

I have not posted all the articles in the series here.
You can access the rest inside through the navigation menu.

Furthermore, if someone wants a deep dive into the rabbit hole of alien manipulations of human relationships:

“Summary: We discuss the role of alien, black op, demonic, and interdimensional entities in manipulating human love relationships. Their motivations for doing so include energy feeding, experimentation, genetic pairing, mind control handling, and suppression of spiritual awakening. We also mention red flags to observe and how to deal with these forces.”

For all the ladies with beauty products heres some related stuff. Being mindful about ingredients rather than labels and branding

Have discernment for your own body to see what works for you whilst healing the source of the issues. Take this opinion from this YouTuber as a grain of salt. There is still bias and generalization due to their own personal experience. Pointing out “synthetic” materials and “chemicals” here. Chemicals as in chemical composition, not the typical ‘chemicals’ in products which can be misleading.

What is real?

Real is that which shapes our experience in any given context through us, by creating margins, obstacles and determinations, and retroactively produces reality for us.

In other words, there is no outside consistency or something “more real” beyond our lenses.

This is why in psychosis, what had been expelled from the symbolic order returns into the Real in the form of voices, paranoia, distortions.
