Technocracy Ascending-Part 5: The Common Good Utopia?

In Technocracy Ascending Part 4, Dark Enlightenment, the Neoreaction(NRx) movement, and accelerationism were exposed as the ideological forces behind the technocrats in the Trump administration.

This installment investigates how both Eastern and Western technocrats are creating high-tech utopian societies that supposedly advance the common good of all.

“Lab-grown meat could erase the need for farming”

Professor Luke O’Neill of Trinity College gave an interview to the Show Me the Science podcast a few days ago, praising the rise of “lab-grown” or “cultivated” meat, and predicting it would spell the end of animal farming in the future.

To emphasise the supposed need for this transition, the biochemist cited the widely-repeated cliché that farming animals produces 12% of the world’s carbon emissions:
“Environmentally it’s very important because it turns out 12% of greenhouse gases are coming off farm animals,”

Going on to laud lab-grown meat’s ethical superiority to real meat:
“One-in-five

Quick Take: Gold from lead and ancient alchemy

I just wanted to bring this story to everybody’s attention…not because it is weighty or scary, just because it’s interesting.

The Independent reports:
Scientists mimicking the Big Bang accidentally turn lead into gold – Physicists have made an unexpected breakthrough

The headline is actually inaccurate, the development is neither a “breakthrough” nor entirely unexpected. Scientists in America turned bismuth into goldback in the 1980s. Rumoured reports of nuclear reactors changing lead into gold go back to at least the 1970s, when Soviet scientists found some lead shielding on a nuclear reactor had turned…...

Why Science is Fundamentally Meaningless

Oooo, I’ve probably got a few raised eyebrows on this one.

It is a rather bold statement.

Notice, however, I was careful to use the word “meaningless” rather than “useless.” “Usefulness” is usually determined by the intention behind the knowledge or action.

If I want to mend a broken bone, for example, and I learn something about the science behind the act of mending a bone, then the science is “useful”—it was useful in the accomplishment of the intention of mending the bone. If I want to kill a huge number of people with a single blast, the science…...

Let Me Now Praise James Agee

On the Romantic poet John Keats’ tombstone in the Protestant Cemetery in Rome are these words, which he chose: “HERE LIES ONE WHOSE NAME WAS WRIT IN WATER.”

His name is not there, by choice. Keats was twenty-five when he died. In Ode to Psyche he wrote:



Yes, I will be thy priest, and build a fane
In some untrodden region of my mind,
Where branched thoughts, new grown with pleasant pain,
Instead of pines shall murmur in the wind:

And in the midst of this wide quietness
A rosy sanctuary will I dress

What Joe Biden’s cancer can (and should) teach us about The Media

Last night the news broke that former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer, which has already metastasized to his bones.

The conversation has gone in two predictable directions.

On the one hand you have the predictable “out pouring of support” from fans of Team Blue, “liberal” journalists and celebrities.

On the other hand you have cynical commentary from Team Red, questioning the timing of the announcement and wondering how someone with such a high profile and (presumably) first class medical care could have cancer missed until such a late stage.

A third, quieter,…...

Oklahoma City Bombing 30th Anniversary – Why Did the Gov’t Blow Up a Day Care Center?

Last month was the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing of 1995, where, according to the “government” and monopoly media, a federal building in Oklahoma City was bombed by a white supremacist named Tim McVeigh, acting alone, who parked the bomb next to the building’s day care center.

If you have ever heard me tell the story in interviews, the Oklahoma City bombing was the event that “woke me up” to the criminality of the organized crime “government.”

I was a researcher working at one of the “Big 4” think tanks in Washington DC, at the time, and…...

Indian Farmers’ Protest Resurges Against Corporate Control: Where Is the Global Support This Time?

The 2020–2021 Indian farmers’ protests garnered significant international support due to the unprecedented scale and resilience of the movement against three controversial farm laws.

The government’s harsh crackdown on peaceful protesters and activists drew widespread condemnation across the world. Social media amplification and endorsements by prominent celebrities further transformed the protests into a global cause.

Although the farm laws were repealed, corporate interests and the Indian government have continued to pursue the aims of those laws through alternative means, prompting ongoing protests by farmers. While the stakes and core issues of the Indian farmers’ renewed protests remain unchanged,…...

The Godzilla Window

Has America been made great again enough for you yet?

Personally, I don’t know how much more greatness I can handle.

I mean, you got the Salvadoran gulag thing, the crackdown on free speech thing, the threats to suspend constitutional rights because of the latest “state of emergency” (i.e., the “invasion” of America by squads of “Tren de Aragua assassins” that Biden conspired with Maduro to unleash on God-fearing heterosexual white families), the luxury resort and theme park Trump wants to build on the ruins of Gaza once Israel gets done liquidating it, the Qatari “Trump Force One” jet,…...

Can AI be Aligned with Human Values?

The “alignment” problem is much discussed in Silicon Valley. Computer Engineers worry that, when AI becomes conscious and is put in control of all logistics infrastructure and governance, it might not always share or understand our values—that is, it might not be aligned with us. And it might start to control things in ways that give itself more power and reduce our numbers.

(Just like our oligarchs are doing to us now.)

No one in the Silicon Valley cult who is discussing this situation ever stops to ask, What are our human values? They must…...

Predicting the Weather

And we are supposed to believe in science without question; we are supposed to lay our lives into the hands of almighty science when it can’t even predict the weather within any sort of useful probability?

Nor can it cure cancer, which in today’s world of highly complicated scientific awareness seems like a rather simple biological mechanism.

Nor can it combat some of the simplest micro-organisms that attack the human body (or so they say). What else can’t science do? And what else has it not yet figured out? Do you have all day (or all week) to hear…...

5 Masterpieces of Contemporary American Cinema: Beyond The Crucible

In part one of this series, we discussed a number of films which encapsulate the depravity of an America enslaved to unbridled corporate power, and how many of our countrymen dispense with all semblance of morality in order to earn a living.

In part two we will revisit this theme, while delving into “the war on terror” and the grave dangers of biofascism.

Memorial Day: It’s Not About the Dead Soldiers but About Glorifying War

Although Memorial Day in the United Sates is ostensibly a day for honoring soldiers killed in wars, it is, rather, a day for promoting war. If it were to honor the dead, all its pageantry would be in opposition to war.

Rather than being haunted by the ghosts of war, many Americans are very proud of all its soldiers killed while killing foreigners for the military industrial complex and the super-rich who own the country.

For the U.S.A. is a warfare state; it has been waging imperialistic overseas wars for a long, long time, and using its soldiers as…...

A scary new “Covid” variant? What year is this?

There’s a new Covid variant “surging through” Asia, according to this headline. It has already spread to the US and Europe as well, according to this article.

I’m guessing the word “surging” was in the circulated memo, because it appears in almost every article about this.

All of which makes me ask…

Crypto-Fascism, Inc.

I miss the old-school neo-Nazis. You know, the skinheads with the swastika tattoos and the big Nazi flags on the walls of their living rooms. The Aryan Brotherhood-type neo-Nazis.

You don’t get neo-Nazis like that anymore.

These days, it’s all about the crypto-fascism.

Are you not familiar with crypto-fascism? All right, let me bring you up to speed.

Crypto-fascists are a particularly pernicious and pussified species of neo-Nazi. Unlike the old-school neo-Nazis, who at least had the courtesy to go around hollering Nazi slogans and heiling Hitler in public so that everyone knew that they were neo-Nazis, crypto-fascists are…...

The Liberal Heart that Hates First

I know I’m on the right side of the side of the fence with most of this crap we are experiencing is because every time I drop a verifiable, ironclad fact that punctures one of the “other side’s” sacred lies, I get a verbal Molotov cocktail lobbed at me.

Not a reasoned debate, not a “let’s check the data,” but a personal attack—as if I’ve just spat on their dead cat’s grave. This isn’t about opinions; it’s about truths so solid you could build a house on them. When liberals respond with venom instead of logic, it’s proof their…...

Fakes and Forgeries

One evening, a lady who was new to my drawing class tentatively mentioned that her mother-in-law was writing a book on a Rubens painting in the National Gallery that she believed to be a fake.

Immediately I knew which painting she meant. Each time I had been in the National Gallery, I had been struck by its obvious differences from the other Rubens paintings there, its clumsy handiwork and what seemed to me to be its more modern appearance. These were a passing but repeated series of observations which I had never shared. To have them suddenly and unexpectedly…...

Continuism: a philosophy for humanity in the technocratic onslaught

How do we stop dystopian science-fiction movies coming true? Are we destined to be ruled by robots, and to relinquish our free will and creativity to artificial intelligence? Such questions are becoming more prescient as a global elite directs technology beyond human advancement towards technocratic tyranny.

A unified resistance is needed, and the hymn sheet from which people sing should be a rationale for preserving humanity as we know it.
