We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present day society - BPP
The spectacle of artifice has reached another layer of artificiality. As the government hands Anthropic its greatest marketing campaign, we are led astray and into the glass prison of the corporeal world.
I used to be a progressive then a hard leftist in my late 20’s. Then I realized how terrible it was adhering to leftist thinking in regards to my financial decision making (which ultimately affects life outcomes).
A 50-year-old leftist has no choice but to continue on the path of victimization as a means of providing a material casual justification for their societal positional standing.
There will always be the distal billionaire or now the trillionaire that is scapegoated as causal link to their demise.
One must transcend linear thinking and break the chains of social engineering (whether left or right) to determine the best course of action for oneself in one’s life.
I could have been a statistical stereotype (poor brown kid from a single mother household in a poor city living on government assistance) but through the transition of my frame of reference, and abolishing rigid leftist moralism (don’t buy a house, it’s bad. Don’t be a land lord, it’s evil, etc etc…) I was able to become a different type of statistic, an anomaly for my demographic.
It’s actually quite a good deal for the Americans. Ya know, considering how those billions of dollars aren’t real but real enough to mobilize resources and motivate behavior changes. The power of the sign is unmatched.
The ever expanding semiotic matrix collecting more and more signs/brands contributing to reality’s continued death at the behest of simulation.
You are drawn in via the “nature” of it all, or how seamless it all fits.
From Muslim NYC mayors to celebrities to athletes to the circulation of brand symbols, all of it perpetuating cognitive erosion, all of it enhancing our perception of simulation as nature.
The news cycle has never reported events; it has always manufactured archaeological layers of unreality for tomorrow’s consensus hallucination. The news is a powerful hyperstition engine, engaged 24/7 at max revs per minute.
In other words:
“we’re the pure ones, they’re the greedy ones.”
Or
“We would win if it weren’t for the system”
While ignoring the constant validation, accumulation of social currency, viral social media distribution (evident by this post), donations, feel-good in-group dynamics, etc etc…
“Leftists” also have “all the power”.
Many forget that both the left & right are factions of the elite. Everything is a passion project of the ruling classes.
The left “always loses” because they are a simulation’s controlled opposition. In fact, they want to lose, winning would implode their circuitry.
Yes, it is UNREAL. The $300 billion are simulation tokens printed from digital air. If the Iranians are happy with the unreality of the prize that is a WIN for the U.S. & the USD.
It only cements the strength of the USD and enforces its utility (and the belief thereof).
To not perform one’s identity, to not consume, and to not become a statistical datum is the ultimate form of non-existence and inevitable deep inner suffering.
The age old maxim stands true:
I am surveilled, therefore I am!
Zohran is hilarious because nothing he’s done has substantively changed the trajectory of NYC and people love or hate him based purely on vibes
He literally has done nothing that matters lmfao
Pope Leo is erroneously failing to delineate the artificial intelligence of mundane virtual systems from the artificial intelligence of religion.
To place modern AI in juxtaposition as artifice with ancient technological containers (such as religion) is an attempt to establish a difference; something human with a soul against something soulless.
The “end of history” has become a perpetually engaged hyperstition engine. Time continues to move forward, history continues to happen, but only through the refusal of death. Everything cannot die, even while living passed its time. Temporal and historical zombies lumbering through history.
We are privy to all of it. The rotting flesh discarding itself, the trail of body fluids left behind, and the obese bodies of trapped gas. Pumped full of steroids and longevity drugs. Death is illegal, even for history. Even for simulation.
Nick Land posits that capitalism is an artificial intelligence. While I agree, it isn’t the original. Society is the original artificial intelligence operating system.
Our subsystems: religion and law, operate exactly like today’s public health departments with their surveillance networks and judicial systems. They scan for threats, quarantine the sick, and keep populations alive. The ultimate prison.
We built the first AI long before silicon. Capitalism is simply a scaled up version of the same logic. Look at how cultural knowledge of cleanliness inadvertently prevented disease. No one programs it from above. It emerged and adapted and optimizes in real time.
