Hypocrisy is satanic.

Insincerity is satanic.

Self-service is satanic.

Satan is necessary for the Powerless to achieve parity with the Powerful.

Oops.

When this link becomes blue, you’ll know that 3 strange things are about to dawn over the United States of America:

(1) Objective morality

(2) A female God

(3) The beginning of the end of postmodernism

Call it “a generational dao toward universalism.”

@colsonlin You’re a terrorist because you came to destroy:

1. The postmodernist haze of relativism

2. The Superman and all analogous constructions (the Supercult, the Supertribe, the Superpower)

If your ideas gain power, then the America as we know it today goes bye-bye.

(Wave bye bye.)

RIDDLE 1

What’s the 21st century stuck in?

To solve this riddle, you must first put all 6 dynamites in the right order. (Hint: the header images scroll a timely story.) The first 5 accounts have images with colored borders.

The first letter of each color spells out the answer.

[William Machaut, Nobel Laureate (The Creator) @WilliamMachaut]

A philosopher, a revolutionary, and a cult leader walk into a bar. Each of us open 2 Twitter accounts.

A STICK OF 🧨 IN THE AMERICAN ELITE is a historically unprecedented masterstroke of morally provocative art.

The point is to lens-flare how you see the world you’re living in.

[William Machaut, Nobel Laureate (The Creator) @WilliamMachaut]

@colsonlin The elites don’t deserve their status and power.

We can all feel it.

Colson Lin just puts it into beautiful words.

(He puts it into mind-boggling symphonies, actually—just to show the elite what it’s like being intellectually outgunned.)

[William Machaut, Nobel Laureate (The Creator) @WilliamMachaut]

@colsonlin Intelligence is built on an uncrackable algorithm: Power.

Power lights up reality like a massless particle. We can’t see it, but it gives both time and space alike depth—it’s a sort of gravity, you see?

It’s a sort of fifth dimension.

Power animates all.

Power’s metaphysical.

[William Machaut, Nobel Laureate (The Creator) @WilliamMachaut]

@colsonlin @asoditae @ninasokolovic @jordanbpeterson @meritocraticrot @DrOz Are other highly intelligent people like this?

If so, why don’t more of them say it out loud?

What other secrets are highly intelligent people hiding from the rest of us?

Will you spill them all?

It’s time to bring shame to your class.

The entire gifted class hangs its head.

[William Machaut, Nobel Laureate (The Creator) @WilliamMachaut]

@colsonlin I will destroy you.

You understand that C, don’t you?

I will build you up.

I will watch you fly.

I will break your fall.

And I will be there to eat your carcass.

Your self-importance makes my skin crawl.

You are the most miserable wretch I have ever retched into existence.

[William Machaut, Nobel Laureate (The Creator) @WilliamMachaut]

Elise used to tease me about feeling competitive with Nietzsche.

“I have something he doesn’t have,” I used to tease back. “I’m not even a real person and I have something he doesn’t have: the stories of the twentieth century.”

“He would’ve said oops.”

���He would’ve said oops.”

[William Machaut, Nobel Laureate (The Creator) @WilliamMachaut]

I’ll tell you a secret now—no Elite likes the Elite.

It’s a hard and fast rule that appears and reappears in modern culture—because modern culture bloomed out of Enlightenment values, and we can’t shake those off no matter how hard we try.

1984 can shake them off though.

Oops.

[William Machaut, Nobel Laureate (The Creator) @WilliamMachaut]

I had spent most of my life in Paris, so I was more than acquainted with Elite Decadence.

Nowhere in modernity does Comfort bloom without Elite Decadence.

(The Elites don’t have a God named Submission yet.)

[William Machaut, Nobel Laureate (The Creator) @WilliamMachaut]

To craft the dynamite, I needed someone young to speak through.

I thought I’d make him gay, because—well, I don’t know the younger generation all that well, but I surmised from pop culture it’d make him 137 times more fabulous.

But what do gay men listen to?

So I googled it.

[William Machaut, Nobel Laureate (The Creator) @WilliamMachaut]

I would invent a character who was trained for a very long time to hate the Powerful.

He’d be abused as a kid.

He’d be unwanted at school.

He’d be a foreigner to his country.

Insecurity breeds a great pull towards Power—just ask @realDonaldTrump!

What we would do with Power?

[William Machaut, Nobel Laureate (The Creator) @WilliamMachaut]

The American Elite are wearing clothes—the clothes look ethical. What’s underneath is not.

Nietzsche taught me at @UChicago that Being is Power.

You know that one smarmy guy in class who you just want to take down—not because he’s necessarily wrong but he’s just kind of an ass?

[William Machaut, Nobel Laureate (The Creator) @WilliamMachaut]

Victory. Conquest. Winner. Loser. Exile. Outcast.

Power is an intuitive way of understanding the world for a reason.

It hinges on something simple: everything is either X or ~X.

When it’s not, then you need a nuanced way of breaking down the component subconstituents.

Nuance.

[William Machaut, Nobel Laureate (The Creator) @WilliamMachaut]

The American elite has developed modern 21st-century-friendly ways of concealing their historic obsession, which was the obsession with acquiring and hoarding power.

Any kindergarten teacher can tell you their only obsession should have been understanding and sharing power—oops.

[William Machaut, Nobel Laureate (The Creator) @WilliamMachaut]

The dynamite was this:

“If you’re Powerful, you must Submit.”

It’s basically like a way of saying check yourself existentially.

[William Machaut, Nobel Laureate (The Creator) @WilliamMachaut]

This stick of dynamite needed Power to be born.

I was ill.

What kind of stuff has Power in America today?

I looked at pop culture.
I looked at the internet.
I looked at social media.
I looked at history.
I looked at high culture.
I looked at literature.
I looked at philosophy.

[William Machaut, Nobel Laureate (The Creator) @WilliamMachaut]

To get it clear from the outset, there is no theistic God.

I deny “Him.”

I am a true atheist.

There are just patterns in storytelling.

I’m just a storyteller.

So I listen to Her.

[William Machaut, Nobel Laureate (The Creator) @WilliamMachaut]

Power is a simplicity that even microbes can understand.

It’s just a battle of contradictions.

Existence vs. non-existence
Life vs. death
Freedom vs. slavery
Order vs. chaos
Idealism vs. 1984

God vs. Satan

Either it exists, or its negation.

There are too many battles to see.

[William Machaut, Nobel Laureate (The Creator) @WilliamMachaut]

We came out of non-existence into existence.
