THE HORROR OF BEING GENZ AND THE CONSEQUENCES.
It’s one thing to be black-pilled by normies and the disenfranchised – you can ignore it as spilled milk. It’s another to be depressingly black-pilled by your intellectual peers. I am so glad I’m not suffering like Generation Z. Seriously. They were sold a future of platitudes that doesn’t and can’t exist. Meanwhile, the rising tide of social media-induced mental illness, ineffective education, crushing debt expansion, rapidly declining economic opportunity, and the destruction of sexual relations and the marital and reproductive marketplace, and the end of the family, causing a society dominated by an emerging generation whose identity is determined by whatever form of therapy they sedate themselves with, and teetering on “irreversible permanent self-harm”, leading to population collapse followed by economic and political collapse, being fed by the one resource that guarantees revolutionary violence: single, angry, frustrated young men, with the obvious ‘correction’ that will result will be far worse than the pain of any substantive reform beforehand.

All individual claims of behavior reflect a distribution. Never overgeneralize without acknowledging the existence of tails. Even the military is conscious of the fact that some people join it precisely because they want to kill people. Others have no qualm with it. Some have some. And some need to be disciplined into it. (See: Acts of War: The behavior of men in battle by Holmes) The reality is that there are only so many conditions under which it is both permissible and useful. And it doesn’t take much experience traveling around the world to see just how willing humans are to chop one another to pieces and enjoy every moment of it. In fact, the principal problem with returning soldiers to civilian life is reversing the behavior.

RE: Studying Philosophy, Religion, or the Occult
You may find comfort there. (sedation)
You will not find answers there. (agency)
Because there is no truth there.
Nearly all religion and philosophy consists of tools of sedation of the sense of alienation as the scale and complexity of society produces increasing uncertainty and alienation.
The painful truth is, that the truth is not comforting.
It empowers us. But it explains the work we must do.

I Capture notes. (note how frequently brad teases me about how much I write down.) Then we write it all down in declarative prose, and yes, largely memorize it. While the vast scope of the work seems impossible to hold in your head (it is), methodology and the the list of first principles isn’t that large, and so it’s rather easy to reconstruct everyday questions and answers using those principles. I think Brad explains it best as it’s more the process of unlearning what we’ve learned that’s false (sort of like theology) and replacing it with what’s true. So you don’t try to memorize it as much as work with it enough (like math and physics and programming) so you develop the intuition.

MEETING NOTES: Why I love working with this team.
–“Given these responsibilities of self determination and individual sovereignty (a) Some people do not have the ability, agency, competency for successful self determination (b) so it’s logical so many prefer serfdom, (c) it’s cruel not to offer it to them, (d) western civilization is organized to maximize individual responsibiity as a means of defense of the commons from free riding or privatization. (e) given the development of humans from infants to adults, and the window of each developmental stage, as the complexity of cooperation, the division of labor, and trade increase, the cost of investing training necessary for the production of agency of individuals increases. (f) and the convergence of that training with the laws of nature (the four sciences) produces the greaest possible human agency. (n) therefore agency is a form of personal and common capital and any inhibition of the production of that ability, agency, competency, is a crime, to be outlawed – the result being a prohibition on falsehood and false promise and a constraint of political participation to those of demonstrated agency and competency.” — Brandon and Martin
–“The speed of change unleashed by the sequence of industrial revolutions overwhelmed our institutions of the production of ability, agency, responsibility creating opportunity for the invention, distribution and sale of non-agentic or anti-agentic incentives narratives and justifications: the industrialization of lying to compensate for uncertainty and alienation by the Cathedral complex of Academy, State, Media, and Entertainment.”– Moritiz
–“The more abstract view is that we require not only due process in the resolution of disputes but due process in the production of the agency necessary to avoid them while cooperating at large scale” — Brandon
–“The state has the duty to make itself as necessary as possible in the production of self determination by self determined means – because human capital is the most important capital with the greatest influence on the present and future condition of man.”– Martin
