Frooooom…

Agents have gone from 0.3 trillion to 7.4 trillion average weekly token consumption in just 6 months, that’s a 24x gain or 576x annualised.

That’s +57,600% compound growth

At this rate, the world will consume 1 billion times more tokens by 2030!

Token consumption is exploding, but at the same time tokens are deflating. Jevon’s hypothesis is fully validated. Can anyone still dispute it?

Incredibly even as tokens deflate the marginal token actually becomes greater utility, because tokens are not really fungible. Tokens keep getting smarter.

For tokens… utility keeps rising, cost keeps falling, output keeps growing.

It’s triple exponent growth. It’s a supersonic boom.

At some point soon, it is going to reach macroeconomic scale and when it does the whole global economy is going to kick very hard.

It’s going to create an unprecedented glut downstream of AI and unprecedented scarcity upstream of AI.

You have to get upstream of it, upstream of AI is chips, infra, fabs and energy. Everything downstream of AI is in the flood path of a huge glut.

Your occasional reminder that "Robin Hood stole from the rich to give to the poor" is Marxist revisionism.

Robin Hood stole from an out of control, high tax state and returned the money to the taxpayers.

[Max @minordissent]

Men seek to relax but are only truly happy when they lead. Women seek to control but are only truly happy when they submit. And they influence each other.

When a man starts to lead, his woman will start to submit. But when a man starts to relax, his woman will start to control.

When a woman starts to submit, her man will start to lead. But when a woman starts to control, here man will start to relax.

The relationship is reflexive and self reinforcing. It is very easy to both spiral up into leadership and submission once you get a little momentum, but also to spiral down into relaxation and control once you get a little momentum.

To have healthy and happy lives and marriages, men must lead and women must submit, even when they are uncomfortable, and even when the other is not doing their part. Do yours long enough and the other will follow suit.

Several year ago…

I built a non-intrusive multiphase flow meter system, this equipment was able to predict the flow regime and also the mass flow rates of each individual phase within a mixture of produced fluids (oil + gas + water + sand).

It tool me 2 years to get the technology working 2016-2018. There are a bunch of OFS companies who sell radioactive MPFM and those things might cost up to $5m a piece.

Why is this interesting?

Well if you have an oil well, it produces a volatile mixture of oil+gas+water+sand and it’s almost impossible to measure how much oil if flowing until you separate all those components out and you can measure single phase fluids only. To do that you have to use a separator and a separator takes 20 mins to separate the flows, you your data is always 20mins stale.

A multiphase flow meter tells you what your well is doing right now, so you can optimise choke and lift parameters in real time.

The result is +7-9% more oil gets produced, so 7-9% more revenue. If your profit margin is 10% then +9% means 2x profit and your entire oilfield is actually 2x as valuable.

So a multiphase flow meter that doesn’t cost $5m and doesn’t break 3 times a week is a valuable thing indeed.

So how the hell did I build one in 2 years? In 2016? and a NON-INTRUSIVE MFPM at that?

Pull up a chair, let’s dive in…

First of all any great oilfield production technician will walk up to a flowing pipe and press their hard plastic ear defender to the pipe, to listen to the flow inside the pipe.

Oil pipelines have a bunch of different flow regimes from slugging, plugging, stratified, bubbly, elongated, wavy, etc. These flow regimes all sound a bit different and you learn to recognise them over time.

So my first insight was “maybe a microphone can sense what the flow is doing?” and so I messed around with pick up mics for about a week before I landed on using a laser.

A laser is precise, and non-intrusive. A laser can bounce a beam off the pipe surface and measure the surface velocity (Doppler shift) and you can then unpack the sound.

After a few weeks I decided to spend £100k on a couple of Michelson Interferometers, I bought dual SWIR interferometers and polarised fiber optic and lens heads and optical switches and I built a system to bounce beams of pipes and measure the passive vibration in the pipe wall.

I built a flow loop in my workshop (will post pics below), and I built a 36 node computer cluster to build a cluster instance large enough to have enough VRAM so I could train neural nets (in Matlab!!).

My interferometer wrote 2GB/s of empirical data, and I collected calibrated flow data in my workshop and then trained neural nets (this pre-dated “Attention Is All You Need”).

I wrestled with algorithms for a long time, and eventually I got a two stage process that started to work.

I collected all the surface velocity data and put it through an FFT to produce a power frequency spectrum, and I stored that in time averaged 20ms windows and joined those up to created a 3D spectrogram (spectogram this was my input data), I also build a direct mass flow meter using a large water butt and some pharmaceutical grade scales (this was my target data).

I had scale that measured liquid out, and scales that measured gas in.

My algorithm

Stage 1: A classifier algorithm using cluster analysis would predict the flow regime.

Stage 2: I trained multiple models to predict each of the component phases (oil, water gas) within a specific flow regime. I selected the correct measurement model for the predicted flow regime. (I never managed to get a general measurement NN trained).

I manage to get down to +/- 7% accuracy within 2 days, and down to +/-2% accuracy within a week.

Bear in mind there are $50bn companies selling MPFM for $5m that are only +/- 20% accurate and they are gamma emitters!

The combination of interferometry + AI is extraordinarily powerful, I can’t imagine anything that can write empirical data as fast.

[Tyler @cillianblack]

For those of you who have been following my observations of the grooming gang report, here they are in a single thread:

1. Institutional Failure at Every Level

Police ignored reports, criminalised victims, destroyed evidence, and released known rapists on bail.

Social services undermined protective parents, placed children in trafficking hubs, closed cases despite clear exploitation indicators, and retaliated against whistleblowers.

NHS recorded genital injuries, STIs in children as young as 13, rape-caused pregnancies, and suicide attempts, then discharged victims back to their abusers without safeguarding referrals.

Schools witnessed older men collecting girls at school gates, heard rape disclosures, and responded by excluding victims.

Britain's institutions are entirely captured, operate through fear, cowardice or corruption, and are entirely broken and unfit for purpose.

2. Rapists Received Warning Letters

The report claims that 13,000 suspected rape gang members and paedophiles received warning letters rather than prosecution while Keir Starmer served as Director of Public Prosecutions.

Whilst native Britons were imprisoned with the "full force of the law" for the heinous crimes of: posting tweets, shouting at police dogs, dancing in front of police officers, holding placards, and pushing over wheelie bins ... 13,000 "warning letters" were reportedly sent to rape gang members and paedophiles.

3. The NHS Was Complicit

The NHS treated a 13-year-old rape victim for STIs including chlamydia in the throat and vagina, gonorrhoea, genital warts, and pelvic inflammatory disease, and later treated her again for injuries caused by gang rape, without ever once filing a safeguarding referral.

Our precious NHS, which this country treats like a second religion, is happy to lecture pregnant mothers that they are not women but “uterus havers” and “chest feeders”, yet repeatedly failed child rape victims right in front of them.

Britain is broken.

4. The Honour-Shame Clan Code

The inquiry frames the behaviour of the rape gang members around an honour-and-shame clan code under which white non-Muslim girls were treated as available for sexual exploitation, or “easy meat”, as Jack Straw once termed it.

The report states that the same rape gangs also targeted Sikh girls, but Sikh communities organised collective male protection and forced the gangs to withdraw; British girls had no equivalent defence.

I imagine most white liberals were too busy joining Extinction Rebellion or Palestine Action protests to bother rallying around white girls.

Britain is broken.

5. Grooming Gangs are Predominantly Muslim

The inquiry explicitly lists convictions involving non-Pakistani Muslim-majority groups: Somali gangs in Bristol, African-heritage perpetrators in Banbury, Iranians in Chelmsford, Syrians and a Kuwaiti in Newcastle, Turkish men in Somerset, and the Newcastle "Operation Sanctuary" case involving 17 men of diverse backgrounds (Albanian, Kurdish, Bangladeshi, Indian, Turkish, Iranian, Iraqi, Pakistani, Eastern European)—almost all bearing Islamic names.

A Romanian gang in Rotherham is noted as a non-Muslim exception. In other words, grooming gangs were mostly all Muslim.

6. Victims Were Targeted Because They Were White

A Rotherham survivor, Dr Ella Hill, testified to the 2022 Jay Inquiry that her abuse was explicitly racially and religiously motivated. She was told the attacks occurred because she was white and Christian. Her testimony described how her abusers saw white girls as inherently impure and how they deserved punishment.

When she appeared on TRIGGERnometry, she described how, while she was being beaten, she was called a white whore, a white slag, and a white cunt. She also describes being forced to lick her abuser's feet.

She and her family were forced to change their surname and relocate. Her abuser tracked her down and attempted to kill her on five separate occasions. Despite her escape attempts; police dismissed her medical evidence each time she reported it.

7. The Police Were Complicit

Sarah was kidnapped at fifteen and held captive for twelve years, during which she was forcibly "married" under sharia procedure. She was then divorced and remarried to a stranger within the same gang and raped by her new "husband" within minutes of the wedding ceremony. She endured eight forced abortions and was compelled to wear a hijab.

A Muslim police officer who took her initial report switched off the tape recorder and told her to drop the allegation; he was later imprisoned for child sex offences himself.

The police were complicit. Britain is broken.

8. The Social Services Were Complicit

Anna was placed in a children's home in Bradford from age of thirteen. At the age of fifteen she was forced into a sharia marriage. Her social worker not only attended the wedding, but approved of the parents of her rapist as foster carers.

The parents then received fostering welfare from the state—that's money that you pay for—after the victim fell pregnant. Anna described her situation as "domestic slavery."

The social services were complicit. Britain is broken.

9. The Rape Explosion

The alarming upward trend of national rape statistics. Police-recorded rape offences in England and Wales rose from approximately 8,593 in 2000 to over 70,000 by the year ending March 2025—an increase exceeding 800%. The inquiry frames this rise against the start of large-scale mass immigration from 1997.

10. The Muslim Community's Self-Interest

Islam has a doctrine called al-walā' wa-l-barā'—loyalty to fellow Muslims. According to the report, this creates a cultural code where reporting wrongdoing by a Muslim to the authorities is treated as betrayal of the community.

It illustrates this using the case of Hannah Shah, whose father was an imam. When Hannah told her school teacher that her father was physically abusing her, she was assigned a Pakistani Muslim social worker. She social worker told the father what Hannah had been saying. The father reacted by beating, raping, and threatening to murder his own fourteen-year-old daughter before locking her in a cellar for days.

The same social worker later told the girl that reporting her father was a betrayal of the community.

The community protected the abuser and the state enabled it.

Britain is broken.

11. The Misogyny of Sharia

The report documents sharia's institutionalised misogyny: men hold legal guardianship over women; a woman's testimony is worth half a man's in court; inheritance allocates women half the share of men.

Rape has no distinct offence under sharia—it is categorised as illicit sex. A rape victim who reports being raped without four male eyewitnesses can be convicted of a crime.

A 2003 Pakistani government report found up to 88% of imprisoned women were rape victims convicted and imprisoned because they were raped.

Classical jurisprudence sets no minimum marriage age. Muhammad consummated his marriage with Aisha at nine. Some Hadith treat a child's silence as consent.

Sharia is wholly incompatible with the progressive liberal values of Western civilisations. Yet we keep inviting more and more incompatible cultures into the West.

12. Liberal Hypocrisy

Various schools of Islamic law either require or strongly recommend female genital mutilation as a way to curb excessive female sexual desire.

Within that worldview, a woman who appears unveiled in public is treated as a threat to social order, thus any sexual violence inflicted upon her is her own fault. Non-Muslim women who appear uncovered are labeled ‘sluts.’

These mentalities are in stark contrast to the "women's lib" movement of radical left who insist on bringing these dangerous men into the country.

Liberalism has broken the brains of left-wing activists and replaced self-preservation with suicidal empathy.

13. The Broken Legal System

The Race Relations Acts of 1965 and 1976, the hate crime provisions in the Public Order Act 1986 and Crime and Disorder Act 1998, the Macpherson Report (1999)—which branded the Metropolitan Police "institutionally racist"—and the Equality Act 2010, which added religion as a protected characteristic, have all contributed towards harvested an environment where raising patterns linked to Muslim offending risked being framed as racial hatred or Islamophobia.

In other words, we spent decades fashioning legislation that made people in positions of authority petrified of investigating gang rapes because the perpetrators had brown skin and they didn't want to be labelled racist.

The purpose of the law is to protect law abiding citizens, but it has been mangled to protect people who engage in heinous acts and punish those who object to them.

The legal system is broken and unfit for purpose.

14. Anti-White Two Tier Justice System

Despite overwhelming evidence of racial hostility—where victims were called "white slags," "kuffar bitches," "white whores," and perpetrators shouted "Allahu Akbar" whilst raping their victims—racial aggravation provisions in law have never been applied in anti-white rape gang cases.

This is in stark contrast to John Ashby, a white man who received a life sentence in 2026 for the religiously aggravated rape of a woman he believed to be Muslim.

What this demonstrates is the same two-tier justice that many on the right have repeatedly pointed toward: if a white man abuses a non-white woman, he faces the full force of the law—but if a non-white man rapes a white child, it isn't treated as a racist hate crime, despite the evidence showing that it demonstrably is.

15. Lenient Sentencing for Muslim Rapists

Sentences for Pakistani Muslims convicted of raping dozens of white British children over years typically involved as little as four years, with many serving only a third of that before release.

Foreign nationals were rarely deported despite powers available to the government to do so.

Native Britons have served longer sentences for "crimes" including deleted tweets and printing stickers.

Two-tier justice isn't a conspiracy theory. It's government policy.

16. Protection by Community Cohesion Sensitivity

Courts gave lenient sentences to rape gang members by permitting cultural background to operate as de facto mitigation. Defendants argued “Somali tradition” or “Western clothing as provocation”, while judges invoked “cultural sensitivity” and fears of “empowering the far Right”.

The report notes that the phrase “community cohesion” was the exact language used in the Casey Review to explain why cases were shelved prior to 2012. This means that, before 2012, prosecutions were deliberately withheld.

The Casey Review documented that local authorities, police forces and social services knew white children were being raped by groups of predominantly Pakistani Muslim men but failed to act. It wasn't failure or incompetence. It was a documented, conscious choice.

The fact that the same phrase "community cohesion" then reappeared in judicial sentencing as a reason to treat cultural background as mitigation shows the logic operating at every level simultaneously—from the decision not to investigate, through to the decision not to prosecute, through to the decision to sentence leniently once conviction could no longer be avoided.

Systemic failure at every single level.

17. Rape Ignorance for Votes

Ayaan Hirsi Ali testified that the dependence on the Muslim voting bloc among left wing parties actively discouraged prosecution and deportation, with Labour at national and local level repeatedly choosing electoral survival and community relations over child protection.

In other words, the left went soft on the Pakistani Muslims that raped white children because they wanted their vote. And if you're white and you vote for Labour, that's what you're facilitating.

The report's conclusion is unambiguous: this was not ignorance. Politicians received direct briefings, attended multi-agency meetings, and had access to internal intelligence. They knew, and they chose inaction.

18. The Coward Andy Burnham

Former detective constable and Rochdale whistleblower Maggie Oliver is quoted criticising former Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham for focusing on past failures while not adequately addressing ongoing exploitation.

Two reviewers resigned from the final phase of Burnham's inquiry after Greater Manchester Police blocked them from accessing documents and survivors.

Burnham's own 2017 review found authorities failed children across Manchester, Oldham, and Rochdale—yet no officers were fired, no pensions stripped, and Burnham never used his oversight powers as Police and Crime Commissioner to force meaningful accountability.

In Oliver's words: "When it comes to leadership and courage... he turned away."

This is the same Andy Burnham who is odds on to be the next prime minister of Britain. Instead of holding these people accountable, they're being promoted to the highest positions of office in the country.

19. Shut Up For the Sake of Diversity

Labour MPs Jess Phillips and Naz Shah kept silent about the ethnicities and religious beliefs of the rape gangs, despite their constituencies being affected. Naz Shah famously retweeted someone saying that the rape victims should "shut their mouths for the sake of diversity." The contrast is Sarah Champion, a Labour MP who actually did speak up ... and was kicked out of the party as a result.

The message here is undeniable. If you told the truth about the rape gangs you were punished. But if you ignored them or even joked about them, you faced no accountability.

20. Labour Opposes a National Inquiry

In January 2025, Labour MPs voted 364–111 against a statutory national inquiry into grooming gangs, with Starmer's frontbench dismissing public concern as "far-right agitation."

They only reversed course in June 2025 under sustained external pressure—then immediately watered the inquiry down, with five planned local reviews quietly dropped, reportedly to "avoid offending Pakistanis."

When Jess Phillips was appointed Safeguarding Minister, survivors resigned from her victim panel calling it a sham.

This is how Labour responds to the systematic rape of an alleged quarter of a million children: delay, dilute, and call anyone who pushes back a fascist.

21. The Entire Political Establishment is Culpable

The report holds the Conservatives responsible for a decade of inaction in government from 2010 onward—failing to mandate ethnicity recording for child sexual exploitation offenders, failing to launch a nationwide statutory inquiry despite the Rotherham Jay Report and other local revelations becoming public, and allowing local cover-ups to continue unchecked.

The report singles out Rory Stewart, who characterised the grooming gang phenomenon as a small-scale issue on The Rest is Politics podcast.

The report notes Sammy Woodhouse met David Cameron in 2015 and disclosed her knowledge of the scandal but that still nothing was done.

Labour were chiefly responsible, but the entire political class had opportunities to do something and did nothing. None of them cared.

The only political party that does, is the one that put this report together—Restore Britain.

22. The Rape Ecosystem

The report describes pregnancy being deliberately used by perpetrators to bind victims to them and prevent escape. Babies weaponised to keep women trapped in cycles of abuse and rape.

Victims endured multiple childhood pregnancies, with outcomes including miscarriage under trauma, coerced abortion (sometimes arranged by perpetrators or associates in backstreet conditions causing lasting physical damage), and births to child mothers left without support.

The report also describes an intergenerational pattern—victims born of rape to earlier victims, with the state removing resulting babies into the same care system while leaving young mothers in the environments where abuse continued.

A rape ecosystem, one might argue.

23. The Entire Care System Compromised

Hospitals and sexual health clinics recorded genital injuries, STIs, and pregnancies in girls aged 11–16 without making protective referrals. Mental health services discharged girls after pregnancy-linked suicide attempts without trauma care.

Social services closed cases or returned young mothers to risk environments. Police failed to investigate even when perpetrators were named. The report adds a specific further harm: family courts in some cases awarded rapists parental rights over children conceived through their crimes, including contact orders to see their resulting grandchildren.

If this doesn't make you look at Britain in a completely different light, I'm not sure what will.

24. Never Again

The report sets out various recommendations for redress.

Sentencing: Life imprisonment for group-based child sexual exploitation, with minimum tariffs of 50 years for ringleaders and 25 years for participants. The report cites Rupert Lowe as calling for a referendum on reintroducing the death penalty for the most severe cases.

Immigration: All foreign nationals to face mandatory deportation and British dual nationals to lose citizenship, applied retrospectively. Family members who supported, harboured, or failed to report a perpetrator would also face deportation proceedings.

Crown Prosecution Service: A dedicated national CPS unit for group-based child sexual exploitation.

Compensation: A new national compensation scheme funded via a levy on convicted perpetrators’ assets and the pensions of public servants found guilty of, or dismissed for, culpable negligence.

Law: A new Childhood Sexual Exploitation Act creating a specific offence of “organised group-based child sexual exploitation.”

Institutional reform: A comprehensive overhaul of frontline safeguarding, policing, healthcare, and legal remedies to address the systemic failures identified throughout the report.

Britain has been heavily stained by this scandal—I'd argue more deeply than by anything else in living history. According to the report, an estimated quarter of a million children were sacrificed on the altar of political cowardice, electoral self-interest, and a pathological fear of being called racist. The institutions that existed to protect them chose to protect themselves instead. That is Britain's shame, and it must never be forgotten.

But shame without actions is just performance. The survivors don’t need our grief—they need justice, accountability, and the ironclad guarantee that what was done to them can never be done again.

Never again should a child be raped because a politician feared losing votes.

Never again should a whistleblower be destroyed for telling the truth.

Never again should the word "racist" be used as a weapon to silence the defenders of children.

If these twenty-five observations teach us anything, it is this: never again.

[Yuri Bezmenov's Ghost @Ne_pas_couvrir]

India under Modi is using state power to raise a collective ethno Hindu-national consciousness through Hindutva. Nothing has changed that.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the public face of a much larger project. It runs through two closely linked institutions: the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, or RSS, the Hindu nationalist volunteer network founded in 1925, and the Bharatiya Janata Party, or BJP, the party Modi leads and that has governed India since 2014. The RSS supplies the worldview, discipline, cadre, and ground network. The BJP supplies the electoral vehicle and the levers of state power. Together, they have turned historical grievance into mass identity, institutional control, and a self-feeding cycle of rupture, awakening, and repair.

The pattern is familiar: first comes the wound, then consciousness-raising, then political repair. In India, the process is unusually disciplined because it is backed by a dense organizational ecosystem. The wound creates the emotional charge. The RSS turns that wound into a unified Hindu identity that cuts across caste, language, sect, and region. The BJP converts that awakened identity into votes, mandates, and state action. Each victory becomes proof that the awakening works, which feeds the cycle again.

In Hindutva’s story, the wound is civilizational fracture. Hindu India was broken by centuries of foreign rule: first Islamic conquest and empire, then British colonialism. Political power was lost. Cultural control was imposed from outside. After independence in 1947, the injury supposedly continued through “pseudo-secularism,” where the Hindu majority was treated as the safe default group while minorities received special protections through personal laws, institutions, and political patronage.
In this telling, Hindus became politically scattered, divided by caste and region, and cut off from their own civilizational memory. The past becomes a live political problem. The core people of India were broken, and now they must remember who they are.

That is where consciousness-raising begins. Savarkar’s early Hindutva framework moved “Hindu” beyond private worship and ritual into a broader cultural-national identity. Hindu became a civilizational category, capable of folding Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists into one larger peoplehood. The goal was national formation.
The RSS is the daily machine that plants this identity. Through local shakhas, or branches, volunteers are shaped by drills, songs, talks, discipline, and shared stories of Hindu history and unity. The RSS produces cadre. It builds memory. It trains people into a shared identity and plugs them into a wider social network.
The BJP then turns that formation into state power. Since Modi came to national office in 2014, the BJP has used government to deliver visible symbolic and institutional wins. The Ram Temple at Ayodhya is the clearest example: a civilizational wound turned into a state-backed victory, broadcast as proof that history is being repaired. Other moves, including the Citizenship Amendment Act, textbook changes, welfare schemes wrapped in national-unity rhetoric, and the broader language of Bharat, follow the same pattern. The state becomes the instrument of civilizational repair.

That is why the cycle keeps strengthening. The wound justifies the awakening. The awakening wins elections. Elections produce state action. State action becomes proof. Proof deepens the awakening.

The recent state votes only reinforce the pattern. The BJP took West Bengal and retained Assam, while communists lost Kerala. For Hindutva politics, Bengal especially matters: another hostile region pulled into the saffron map, another symbolic conquest, another sign that the machine still works.

[Yuri Bezmenov's Ghost @Ne_pas_couvrir]

Actually what the BJP in India is doing with
Initial Volksgeist → rupture → consciousness-raising → organized praxis → state-backed repair → higher Volksgeist
Is copying from Moses Hess’ 1862 work, Rome and Jerusalem. This is a direct dialog with Hegel and Marx.

Let’s start with Hegel; he gives the basic machinery.

Geist → Volksgeist → Widerspruch / Negation → Aufhebung → Staat as Sittlichkeit → Weltgeist / Weltgeschichte

Geist is Spirit, or historical consciousness. Volksgeist is the spirit of a particular people, expressed through religion, law, custom, language, memory, art, and institutions. A people carries Spirit in a particular historical form.

Then contradiction appears. The old form no longer fully expresses the spirit developing inside it. That is Widerspruchor contradiction, Negation or negation. Through Aufhebung, the old form is overcome, preserved, and lifted into a higher form.

The Staat, or state, is the concrete home of Sittlichkeit, ethical life made real in institutions. Then Weltgeist, World Spirit, moves history forward through peoples, states, and world-historical struggle.

So staying relevant to the theme here, let’s say Hegel gives you people, spirit, contradiction, state, ethical life, and world history. He does not yet give you activist revolutionary praxis.

Then we move to Moses Hess’ 1830s to 1840s. He converts Hegelian development into an activist repair operator.
Original Infinite Unity → Zerwürfnis / Spaltung through Eigentum & Erblichkeit → Entfremdung / Entzweiung → Bewusstsein → Tat → higher Einheit / Gemeinwesen

Or, plainly spoken:

initial unity → rupture through inheritable private property → alienation → consciousness of alienation → organized repair, Tat → restored humanity

Early Hess takes Hegel’s spiritual-historical drama and makes it this-worldly and social. Humanity begins in some kind of original unity, communal essence, or pre-Fall harmony. That unity is shattered by Eigentum and Erblichkeit, property and inheritance. Property becomes the socialized Fall. It hardens inequality into permanent division.
That rupture is Zerwürfnis or Spaltung, a split, breach, or division. Money, egoism, and commercial life deepen the break. Humanity becomes alienated from itself. That is Entfremdung, alienation, and Entzweiung, division or estrangement.
Then comes Bewusstsein, consciousness. The age becomes aware of its alienated condition and its historical task. But consciousness is not enough. It has to become Tat, deed, act, practical action. Philosophy must become action in the world.
The goal is restored Einheit, unity, or Gemeinwesen, common life, social humanity.

Then Marx after Hess.

primitive communism → rupture through property/class → alienation → class consciousness → revolutionary praxis → higher communism
Marx inherits the repair structure but hardens it into political economy.

The original condition is primitive communism, an unconscious communal unity before class society. The rupture comes through Privateigentum, private property, and Klassenverhältnisse, class relations. Alienation becomes Entfremdung, especially alienated labor. Man is alienated from his work, his product, his Gattungswesen, species-being, and other human beings.

Then comes Klassenbewusstsein, class consciousness. The proletariat becomes conscious of its historical role. Hess’s Tat becomes Marxian Praxis, practical-transformative action. The repair is revolutionary: the abolition or Aufhebung of private property and class society.

The endpoint is higher communism: social humanity restored at a conscious, historical level.

Then back to Hess, late phase, Rome and Jerusalem, 1862

Initial Jewish Volksgeist → rupture via Rome, exile, and later diaspora life under Rome’s inheritors → national consciousness-raising → organized return → political-territorial restoration → higher Jewish Volksgeist

The BJP is applying this in India.

[James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames]

A little note about the myth of Lucifer.

Lucifer means "light-bringer" (or "light-bearer") and originally refers to the planet Venus when it is visible in the morning sky. It rises in the East before the Sun and can be bright enough to cast thin shadows.

When Venus appears in the eastern sky ahead of the sun, it is sometimes referred to as the "Morning Star" or the "Day Star," and was regarded in the ancient world as a herald of the incoming day and light of the (true) Sun.

This thinking precedes any mythological understanding of Lucifer as the proudest among fallen angels or his equivalence to the devil or Satan. That particular line comes from post-Exilic Judaic thinking, likely influenced by Zoroastrian considerations and myths but incorporated otherwise.

We see this appearing in the book of Isaiah, in particular. In Isaiah 14:12-15, we read this, although it's actually about the King of Babylon and addressed to Jacob:

12 How you have fallen from heaven,
morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!
13 You said in your heart,
“I will ascend to the heavens;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,
on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.”
15 But you are brought down to the realm of the dead,
to the depths of the pit.

(The original Hebrew text says Helel ben Shahar ("shining one, son of the dawn" or "day star").

Of course, Jews would interpret this as a complete rebuke against and warning against the heights of human pride and the desire to establish any man as "Most High" (just ask any observant Jew why the men wear the Kippah). God will lay low any who believes he is elite enough to ascend above all others or God Himself (or reality itself, for that matter). One might recognize it as a rebuke of maniacal "elite theory," to use some modern language.

Christian interpreters later drew from Luke 10 and Revelation 12 to interpret this portion of Isaiah otherwise and more cosmically: as the story of Satan's fall from Heaven and into Hell. So the myth of "Lucifer, the light-bearer," literally as the "Morning Star" or "Star of Day," came to be associated with Satan.

Later Christians connected this idea of Lucifer as Satan to the Serpent in Eden in Genesis 3 and connected the idea of the "Morning Star" as a form of deception and invitation into false or hidden secret spiritual "knowledge" (gnosis, so Gnosticism).

Venus as the Morning Star thus became associated in Christian mythological thought with Lucifer and, in particular, with deception into false enlightenment, in particular "awakening" on Lucifer's terms, not God's. Lucifer appears ahead of the true Sun and true light of day, that is, true belief in God, and offers a taste of that light while actually still in the darkness. It's a nice metaphor and potent image: waking up ahead of the true dawn to a little bit of dazzling light while still being in the dark.

This myth goes on to be taken very literally in the Gnostic cults before they were put down (though they never really went away, did they?). God, the Creator, is interpreted as a liar and a demon in the Gnostic myths, and Lucifer, as above, is treated as the first truth-teller Man ever encounters. Lucifer, as "light-bringer" is the liberator who boldly dares to defy the tyrant God to bring "true" spirituality to Man (in open defiance of God).

These Gnostic myths later got incorporated into all kinds of goofy things through the Middle Ages in Europe after being reintroduced in Provence in the 11th century after the First Crusade, eventually into the motifs of thought that inspired "philosophers" like Rousseau and Marx and the demonic fraud Helena Blavatsky, founder of Theosophy and the Theosophical Society. Many of the dumbest ideas of the 19th century in Europe are directly the result of this myth being taken in its Luciferian (Gnostic) inverse.

In my reading, virtually all of the esotericism that is woven into what we call "Woke" today is precisely of this flavor. Saul Alinsky, of Rules for Radicals fame, made it explicit by offering the following epigraph in the introduction to that wretched book:

"Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer."

So, do I think that "Woke" is Luciferian? Yes, certainly, by organization and in intention, and sometimes deliberately by intention. Whether we read the mentality in the pride of the King of Babylon in Isaiah, interpret it as later Christian thinkers did and warned about, or recognize its esoteric but also deliberate and sometimes explicit embrace in the Gnostics through the Social Esotericists and Elitists we call "Woke," the Luciferian spirit is undeniably there.

Woke includes the "saying in one's heart" that they will "ascend" through their superior "understanding" of human reality. It is a proud and false awakening where a little bit of dazzling light shines in darkness. It is an insistence that the world operates, or should be forced to operate, on one's own "awakened" terms. It is Sociognostic.

And that's without attaching the (again, post-Exilic) Jewish interpretation of Satan to this same character: accuser, prosecutor, deceiver, and (especially to Christians) Father of Lies. That is, it is also evil, deceptive, and accusatory on false and contrived terms and tempting to indulge in our own worst impulses and consider it superiority.

In conclusion, this is what "Luciferian" means, and, yes, absolutely, Woke is Luciferian.

There’s a kind of optimistic fantasy that exists where people think that even if America ends up with a total Gay Race Communist victory, that because communism “doesn’t work” therefore the system will simply inevitably collapse. Many think this about liberalism in general.

All of them are completely and totally wrong, because no system has ever “just collapsed.” What I mean by this is that it always takes some kind of force to actually make a system change, or to fall apart. There is always someone who actually makes it happen. If these people do not exist, then things will simply continue on in perpetuity regardless of how broken or dysfunctional things might be.

People often cite the Soviet Union as a system which simply collapsed. This is a weird kind of retrospective determinism where because it collapsed therefore it was inevitable that it would and it completely disregards the actual history of what occurred in said collapse.

What actually happened that led to the dissolution was that as a Gorbachev was making his reforms to the Soviet Union, there was an attempted coup which captured Gorbachev and attempted to also snatch Boris Yeltsin, the president of Russia.

Yeltsin avoided capture, and as the standoff with the coup occurred, was able to rally the nation against it providing speeches from atop a tank and gathering significant popularity and support in the midst of it, till he was able to successfully and bloodlessly diffuse it.

Just a few months afterwards, with this gathered political capital and simultaneously Gorbachevs own displayed weakness via being utterly helpless as a captive, Yeltsin met with the president of Belarus and Ukraine and formed the Belavezha accords in secret.

They then brought this before Gorbachev and declared the Soviet Union dissolved, and with Gorbachev being effectively neutered he agreed. Yeltsin was able to fully dissolve the Union as more presidents were brought on shortly thereafter.

Even if you want to try to argue that some collapse was inevitable, what actually transpired with both the attempted and failed coup and Yeltsin’s own actions and political victory shaped the specific scenario of what happened, why it happened, how it happened, when it happened, and who made it happen.

These events were also only possible because of those working within the system. Both the failed coup leaders and Yeltsin held positions of power within it, which was the only way they were able to do what they did.

There are many people who are quite intelligent who think that the answer is to divest from the system, just focus on the local, and wait for some inevitable collapse. Their efforts are utterly, entirely misguided.

A divestment from the system is a surrender to the system. It is to roll over and say that they won, and to hope that somehow you will be spared and left alone, to cease efforts to actually change things, and then hope that with no one doing anything at all, somehow your enemies will just cease to exist through no action taken at all, and then you get to be in charge.

What this speaks to is a fear of confrontation, an unwillingness to actually fight, a desire to simply be left alone, and an impetus towards retreat. None of these things are remotely viable. The only real option is to make things happen and to defeat your enemies under the reality of the circumstances with which you have been presented.

We’re the ones who are here, and there is no one else.
