I tried telling one of my NPC buddies that Nash Equlibria and Game Theory are not accurate predictors of human behavior because people don’t use optimal strategies a hundred percent of the time, and that the last thing we need are more government stiffs telling people how to live their lives based on autistic TED talk bullshit. After him and his fellow NPCs got in a good struggle session where they whined that I was a “Social Darwinist”, the highest insult they could imagine, they all blocked me.
LOL, no skin off my back. In any case, I think I’d prefer survival of the fittest to these insufferable collectivist twats telling me what to do for the rest of my goddamn life. We’ve become a coddled and swaddled society, from top to bottom. There’s always some cunt, some bozo, some dipshit, who went to college for four years and thinks that means that they’re entitled to be your advocate and caretaker. Bureaucrats, “civil servants”, and NGO fuckheads are the actual fucking problem. Always have been. We need fewer of them.
I started reading Klaus Schwab’s COVID-19 propaganda and made it about a fifth of the way through it. First off, why is a non-epidemiologist doing epidemiology and trying to tell us exactly how the pandemic will go? He says right at the start that he’s putting all the references in the back for the sake of brevity, but that’s just a ploy, so you don’t notice how much he’s cited from valid sources and how much is his own original research. He describes what is essentially Kate Raworth’s Doughnut Economics without even naming her, for fuck’s sake.
Doughnut Economics is pretty simple. Too little growth, and you fail to meet people’s needs. Too much growth, and you destroy the environment. A related concept is Herman Daly’s idea of Uneconomic Growth. Typical green stuff. The general idea is that mankind is slam-fucking the planet to death, global warming and resource depletion are going to cause societal collapse in less than a century, et cetera, et cetera. However, now that everyone is presently consooming at the rate that they currently are, they’re unlikely to accept any policy that instructs them to consoom less (and in any case, such policies would be disastrous for an economy where the only measure of success is to be in the black every year and keep investors happy, and where business is inter-dependent on the health of the financial sector and its ability to skim off of endless growth and profiteering).
Again, I’ve argued with neolibs about this shit years and years ago. They thought it was loopy, and they basically insisted that the current arrangement of nonstop GDP growth at all costs was better, and that the environmental risks are overblown. I told people, you know, if automation is about to make labor worthless, and if the environment is about to collapse due to fossil fuel use, then we need to do away with transportation in general, telecommute more, think about sustainable agriculture, and then, we need to consider things like unconditional basic income or even abolishing the price system altogether and just rationing the products of a mostly-automated economy (due to all the unemployment from automation). I told ‘em, global warming is a problem, as are things like aquifer depletion, desertification, phosphorus depletion, peak oil, peak minerals, et cetera. We don’t really have any long-term solutions for these things, and we won’t be reacting to any of them until we’re well into crisis mode.
People didn’t want to hear it. They told me, you’re insane. You’re nuts. You’re a doomsayer. Shut up. Nanananana. “Lump of labor fallacy. Automation can’t possibly take all our jobs”. They whined that what I was proposing (vis a vis stuffing people in self-sufficient arcologies) effectively constituted the “warehousing” of humanity and the removal of any shred of agency from our species. They were correct. It was a regimented and awful existence under a totalitarian government, but also quite possibly necessary, if resource depletion and environmental degradation continued. They didn’t want to hear it. They were used to having all sorts of luxuries and didn’t like being told that their luxuries were about to be taken away, either by faceless NWO bureaucrats acting on information that they’ve concealed from the public, or by inevitable environmental collapse.
And now, those faceless NWO bureaucrats are attempting to actually make these ideas into reality, just bluffing their way into it and hoping people don’t notice the implications.
Over the years, I have fallen out of love with these ideas, simply because I see the incredible harm they can cause. Ted Kaczynski was right. Humans are being left behind. Our technology is outpacing us. Our civilization is more advanced than our minds and bodies permit. Think about the rat race. Think about the stress it puts on people’s minds, working long hours without any breaks, being pulled in fifteen different directions with all these little obligations, all these little responsibilities, and long and stressful commutes on top of that. Is it even human, at this point? You basically need to be a cyborg to withstand this.
That’s what the powers-that-be are going for, too. Transhumanism is the next step. Not for anything cool, like making you actually superhuman or extending your lifespan or anything fun like that. They want to be able to pacify people at the push of a button. They want to blend medicine and sociology and wave a magic wand and make all your stress from living in intolerable conditions disappear. George Orwell was wrong, and Aldous Huxley was right. In a way, we are already crude cyborgs. When we desire our dopamine hit, we grab our dopamine rectangle and check our likes and retweets. The NWO want to skip the rectangle and just jam pleasure hormones right into your head so you don’t question what they’re doing all that much.
How much further will we stray from the ability of our bodies to adapt? Our technological progress has outpaced our evolution by orders of magnitude. We are anatomically almost indistinguishable from how we were 5000 years ago, when we were still having oxen drag plows through fields and beating each other in the heads with big rocks. You ever sit down and wonder why you have all that residual tension, all those little aches and pains that you have to banish with an Ibuprofen? That’s modernity. That’s the burden of modernity on your shoulders. Mental health issues are rising. Fertility is collapsing. Our culture is growing weak and insipid, and everyone’s verbal intelligence seems to decline year after year. What in the hell have we been doing to ourselves, if not self-inflicted torture?
Meanwhile, a tiny, tiny class of parasites at the very tip-top has skimmed wealth off of this orgy of industrialized growth. They’ve used that wealth to fund non-profits and NGOs that are actively trying to shape the way the rest of us are allowed to live, and then, they have the nerve to gaslight us and tell us we’re mad when we try and point out what they’re doing and why it’s totalitarian nonsense.
Look at how many articles there are about how the “Great Reset” is a conspiracy theory, right next to articles that describe the Great Reset and what it will entail in terms of actual policy. They think we’re fucking stupid. They think we’re all knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing morons, and that words cease to have meaning unless one of their fucking apparatchiks is around to tell us what they mean.
We need transparency. We need these fuckers to tell people, in all honesty, exactly what they’re fucking planning to do, and what they’re planning needs to be judged in the court of public opinion. Of course, they don’t want to do that. They know you’ll refuse. They know you’ll hate being told that you can’t own property anymore and everything is part of an on-demand commons. Instead of owning a car, you’ll phone up a driverless taxi. Instead of owning a house, you’ll share a pod in New York Communal Beehive #3477 with Pajeet.
Meanwhile, what are the rich planning to do? They’re planning to take their wealth and engage in seasteading, in international waters, where the Jeffrey Epsteins of the world can do cocaine and fuck your teenage daughter to their heart’s content. You will live in a pod. They will live in Rapture from fucking BioShock, surrounded by legions of drones and private armies. And even though you know this, you won’t be able to do anything about it, because the nanotech inside your head will tell you, gee, it’s fine, I’m a serf anyway, I don’t deserve anything better than being a soulless drone and living in a pod.
Beloved by Silicon Valley tycoons and tyranny-fearing libertarians, are cities atop the waves Earth’s next frontier?

The worst part about all of this is that people think I’m joking. I told people this would happen. I told people, damn near a decade ago, that Techno-Feudalism was coming. Democracies would slowly erode. Corporate power would increase. Look at our social media companies. They censor our fucking politicians. They back activist groups that undermine social unity. These fuckers want to make you into literal serfs and take away any say you have in how you are governed. That’s not an exaggeration. What they are proposing is serfdom.
Klaus Schwab has joined Twitter.
Look at the people he follows. That should give you an idea of the kind of company he keeps.
When I was a kid, the Left fought against the IMF and the World Bank. Now, the crust punks who used to spray ”fuck the NWO” in alleys are kneeling and sucking the NWO’s dick. It’s getting tiresome. When will people wake the fuck up?
