Choices imply consequences.

If the consequence of choosing X and the consequence of not choosing is identical, then the assertion that X is a choice implies contradiction. For example, the effect of choosing to be unvaccinated is the same as not-choosing at all, therefore the alleged choice is inconsequential, therefore not a choice.

You may have a choice about how to respond to coercion, because you are compelled to respond, but not a choice about what you are.

Anthropomorphising wombats to divert empathy from the children being starved, tortured and exterminated in the ongoing Holocaust?

Inflation is a tax charged by the banking system on the entire money supply, by permission of the State.

The practical equivalence between not choosing and choosing nothing implies no choice.

The real estate bubble was intergenerational theft, engineered to impoverish and weaken future generations of the working and middle classes and empower the rich. It is economic apartheid. When someone makes money for nothing by flipping properties on paper they are only taking value generated by others, using economic trickery.

Vaccine mandates involve the intentional killing of some people for the prospective benefit of others. Those who support vaccine mandates renunciate their right to life: they implicitly consent to being killed for the benefit of others. This consent absolves the architects or executors of such policies of violating the right to life of these entities.

What did Jesus want for himself from being crucified?

If to act intentionally is to satisfy our preferences, which are thus an expression of self-interest, even if it is a common interest and thus also serves the interests of others, then theologians are obliged to inquire what was the nature of self-interest that motivated Jesus to willingly die on the cross, assuming that Jesus was a perfectly rational being.

The Principle of Sufficient Reason REVISED

The sense of ‘sufficiency’ in the principle of sufficient reason (PSR) is not arbitrary: a sufficient reason warrants that something is a fact. Sufficiency qualifies reasons as corresponding to facts; it is not the case that facts are qualified as corresponding to reasons. For example, if it is raining then the ground is wet: rain is a sufficient reason for the ground being wet, but wet ground does not imply that ‘it is raining’. There may be facts for which there are no reasons (why is there something rather than nothing?), but it cannot be the case that there is a sufficient reason and no corresponding fact. The interpretation that was historically assumed (that Fact implies Sufficient Reason) is therefore back to front. It should be understood that a reason is sufficient only if it implies a fact: R(x)→F(x). ‘It is raining’ is a sufficient reason for the ground being wet only if raining implies that the ground is wet.

People will help others out of empathy only up to a point, until the cost of helping matches the emotional cost of refusing to help. The empathy hustle (‘save the children’ charity approach) works by amplifying the emotional cost (the aim is to traumatise the audience as much as legally permissible) and then offer a way to emotional safety (request a donation to preserve their moral standing).

The function of healthcare is to restore health. When someone is healthy, any medical intervention is adverse to the healthy state. In case of contraception, it impairs healthy fertility. In case of vaccines it impairs the healthy function of the immune system. Both are inherently unhealthy by the medical standard of health.

Technology is an occult ritual. Its function is to transform mythology into phenomenology, and thus into reality. The rituals of Intel Corp, for example, are occulted by trade secrecy, their intricacy impenetrable to an uninitiated mind, conducted in high security temples called ‘factories’, where demonic entities called ‘robots’ are summoned to perform sacraments on the sacred object. Human access to the heart of the temple is restricted only to high priesthood; every other disciple must perform their rites of submission via a remote terminal. But the real power of the sacred object is imbued only by the ritual of its recognition by the profane. It is only at this final stage that the myth becomes reality, a means of possession of the minds of the profane.

The most insidious, false ideology is ‘altruism’. Until we acknowledge that everything we do is motivated by self-interest we are not yet moral beings, because we deny having an interest in the realisation of our wants, which is the substance of moral reasoning. Altruism implies that the question ‘why be moral’ is senseless.

Doctors know that when the available resources make it impossible to save everyone, they are required to choose who is to live and who is to die, based on their assessment of the net residual value of individual lives, and it is reasonable to assume that doctors would seek to save themselves ahead of any patient, precisely because they regard their capacity to make this kind of decisions as extremely valuable.

People get offended because of their own beliefs.

If over the last two years the roles of Israel and Palestine were reversed, then the situation would, without hesitation, be characterised as the Holocaust, and so it must be characterised as the Holocaust irrespective of roles. By applying the standard of the perpetrator, the state of Israel is committing the Holocaust.

Every Self has the sense of ‘I am’. This self-relation requires being a ‘something’ to relate to and from, but it is not conditional on the meaning of that something. The Self is essentially consciousness, but it is imperfect because of inconsistencies in the representations of its meaning content: the self-relation is corrupted if the ‘something’ is imperfectly reflected. What does consciousness want Consciousness wants perfection, which is the ultimate self-interest.

The challenge lies not in Who is self-relating but in the consistency of self-relating. It is rather ‘How’ you relate to yourself that matters. Traditional methods pursed self-nihilation, self-erasure to avoid inconsistent self-relating, which was analogous to killing yourself to avoid infections, thus contradicting the ultimate purpose, not fulfilling it. They are all false.

There are no shortcuts, no gurus, no salvation by proxy; you must do all the hard work yourself.

The sense of ‘experience’ is that it relates to something beyond our subjective state of mind or point of view, that we experience something other than ourselves, something ‘real’, and that this realness is the same for every subject, therefore objective. As such, experience is already an interpretation, of something that happens to us subjectively, according to a common standard of realness or truth. Experience is truth-apt only to the extent that its meaning is falsifiable. Since we have no first person awareness of the subjective states of others, validation of our experiences is a purely conceptual challenge, a logical test of the integrity of the world as we know it that includes other beings of the same kind and in which the conceptual content is sustained only via meaningful communication with others. Objectivity of what our subjective experience is about is thus inextricably dependent on the subjectivity of others.

The fact that “vaccine-exemptions” were recognised is of itself a proof that nobody could consent to mandatory vaccination, in the same sense that saying “yes” to a rapist to save your job is not “consent” to sex. Exemption implies compulsion, which in turn precludes consent to what one is already compelled to submit to.

Fact Check: Partly False. Interest rate cuts make it cheaper to create money under the guise of bank credit. It is not true that any of the existing money is borrowed when bank credit is given. Credit is money creation, whereby the banks extract value (equal to the ‘loan’ principal) from everyone’s wallet by creating new units of currency, and charge interest on it. The principal is never repaid to the original wallets and the interest is embezzled by the banks. TLDR: Rates cuts increase the rate of monetary embezzlement by the banks while the little people are bedazzled by the nominal increase in the value of their homes.

The majority of people agree that those who refuse to style their moral judgement according to the authoritarian prejudices of the majority must be subjugated. Democracy is a form of group tyranny; it never had legitimacy beyond the renunciation of moral status that voting entails. Trump and Putin (in fact all democratic governments) accept this renunciation as their mandate to subjugate, albeit most rulers are less transparent about it than Trump and Putin.
