  • As I’ve said, many a time, once dictatorship’s instantiated, he’ll not just remove the vote from all non-Republicans, he’ll de-naturalize all non-Republicans, then they can be ICE’d…

    making it criminal to do ANY trade with “illegals”/woke.

    I found out that he & Miller had a 1-MILLION deportations quota on ICE, for their 1st year…

    You’re too far in nazi territory, when you’re doing that kind of shit … there’s no pretending that away, any more than there’s any pretending-away Israel’s admission that it’s annexing territory from Lebanon, once it’s got Hamas controlled/down…

    Putin, Trump, Netanyahu, Millei… same fundamental-values, they’re demonstrating…

    & the fools who are “certain” that social-pressure will prevent the tippingpoint from being crossed…

    …solving the wrong problem, while helping the enemy that is walking our world into its “secondary-crime-scene”, for our world’s butchery…

    The Great Filter’s actual! This century is it…

  • I don’t dispute that the US Constitution puts birthright-citizenship on good footing.

    I’m disputing that citizenship is binary: that’s the wrong principle.

    Irresponsible-citizenship & responsible-citizenship NEED to be treated differently.

    I consider Bernie Sanders a US Hero, but Trump I wouldn’t allow to vote, given his behaviors.

    Graduated-citizenship ought be a real thing.

    Not responsible? No vote.

    Not accountable? No election/authority.

    Enemy-agent? No citizenship.

  • So, passengers in an airliner decide on managing the airliner, because they outvote the pilots!

    Democracy!!


    Democracy’s still a kind of “boss”, a kind of “archy”.

    I hold that, exactly as vertebrates all show, you have to have a brain, & you have to have COMPETENCE & RESPONSIBILITY & ACCOUNTABILITY based brain.

    Pilots, not majority-on-the-aircraft, fly the aircraft.

    Those who reject how immune-systems work, including immunization/vaccination ( done right ), ought be prevented from voting on immunization programmes.

    Those who aren’t living with the ability to get naturally pregnant, don’t have any business voting on women-specific health issues, including abortion.

    Etc.

    Not accountable in that domain? no vote.

    Not responsible in that domain? no vote.

    Not competent in that specific domain? no vote.

    Period.

    This makes me intolerable among many ideologues/ideologies.

    Which is good.

  • There are 2 fundamental systems-understandings required, & you’ve hit on 1 of them: when you remove the good brain, an evil-brain fills the vacuum ( “nature abhors a vacuum” is a true sociopolitical-principle! )


    Within your body, your brain is boss.

    Period.

    Go look at the biology of ALL VERTEBRATES and you will see that there is a “boss”, a brain, in ALL of them.

    Now go look at coral, or bacterial-colonies, or jellyfish, & see what “no boss” means:

    it caps the allowed-intentionality, the allowed-complexity, the allowed-effectiveness, the allowed-depth-of-meaning, that the organism CAN be.

    Same with civilizations!

    That’s the other principle.


    So, so long as you’re willing to have a civilization which doesn’t include any parent-child relationships ( because “parent” & “boss” mean the same thing, in that relationship, especially with toddlers ), or ANY hierarchy-relationship ( teacher-student being another ), THEN true-anarchy is possible.

    But then you’re limited, in pure-anarchy-form, to a few adults collaborating or not-collaborating, & you’ve removed medical-services ( which are hierarchical ), aviation ( ditto ), regulation ( disallowing pollution by “persons”, corporate OR individual ), education ( teacher/student ), etc.

    You’ve removed team-research.

    You’ve removed emergency-response-forces, which are hierarchical ( with good reason: consensus works when one has infinite-time to resolve anything, as Ikea does: better quality decisions … which take forever to resolve! … but in life-on-the-line-time-crunch, hierarchy wins, & that is objective fact.

    The next time you see a ship sinking, while committees are forming aboard, to discuss possible-solutions, but nobody is either stopping the sinking or getting people into the lifeboats, then you’re looking at non-hierarchy’s consensus-perfection. )

    IOW, the stunning amount of ignoring required to maintain that no-archy is valid, puts it far outside of Objectivity, putting it ONLY in the Ideology category.

    The more-complex the civilization, the more-required it is to have teacher/student, to have regulation/doer ( to protect the commons ), to have parent/child relationship, to have science leading technology, to have child-protection-services, etc.

    Vertebrates vs jellyfish showed this principle all along!

    & if you’ve got a complex-civilization, & you remove the good-brain, … then there are ONLY 2 things that’d happen, left:

    EITHER you’ve replaced the good-brain with automatic-systems, automating-away government with machine-learning, best-of-breed issue-solving mechanisms, automatic management of the economic dimensions ( measurement shows that these roads need repairing to keep future-costs down, that was automatically solved, contracts are automatically offered, automatically bid-on, etc, … AND things like … too-much-investment is going into these careers, & those careers are being understaffed, pay is now automatically altered ( supply-demand principle ) to make the understaffed careers more-attractive ), automatic management of pay-ladders, etc…

    AND the economy is not-for-profit.

    That’s actually required, too, btw…

    DarkTriad { narcissism, machiavellianism, sociopathy-psychopathy } ISN’T COMPATIBLE with civilized flourishing, either incorporated-“person” or individual-authority DarkTriad!

    Which political-system our world’s “wearing” is actually secondary to that!

    Put DarkTriad in charge of ANY political-paradigm, & hell will be sooner or later enforced, obviously.

    OR … organized-crime wins, & becomes the all-pervading boss. ( in East Germany, that was the gov’t itself, same as with Putin’s Russia )


    It isn’t a political-will problem, it is a fundamental-human-nature problem, that can only be mitigated through rigging systems to make entire-categories-of-decisions for us, to remove our DarkTriad manipulation-of-world ( unconscious-bias OR conscious! ) from the equation.

    The statistics that if you want someone convicted, just make them nonwhite, male, & low-education, or if you want them not convicted, then you make them white, female, & well-educated, is bias not objectivity-in-judging.

    How can civilrights win against political-motivation when EVERYTHING we do is deformed by our unconscious biases??

    & that deforming-of-process/deforming-of-results … isn’t mitigated by ideology ( which is bias ) or by political-regime ( which is just biased-framework ).

    It can only be mitigated, by automating-out the decisions which ought not be political.

    & that also means that we have to prevent DarkTriad people from even being eligible for authority-roles:

    we have to filter them out, XOR we get Putin/Netanyahu/Millei/Trump, & the CCP ( whose snuffing of Tibet was as imperialist as anything the right has ever done, in spite of the ideological-ignoring of the communist-ideologues ).


    Jellyfish ARE anarchy: but brainless.

    Vertebrates AREN’T anarchy, having brains.

    Civilizations embody the same archy pattern.

    & this isn’t mere ideology: it is systems fact, all of history showing this.

    Even true-ashrams are archy: LivingSpirit’s the “boss”/brain, not individual-politics, so it’s every bit as archy as any system can be, but it’s got a non-individual ( yin-G-D isn’t “individualistic” ) “brain”, is all.


    Which brings-in another principle: self-centrism vs overall-centrism ( narcissism vs altruism ).

    Without sorting THAT out, then the whole “anarchy vs archy” question’s false-framed.

    How could narcissism produce healthy-world, either in no-archy OR in archy??

    Humankind needs to outgrow that, XOR humankind’s being extinguished, in The Great Filter, this-century ( world-species equivalent to puberty: when will-multiplying-technology gets potent enough, AND population-saturation-frustration combine with consequences-of-trashing-our-ecological-basis, including ClimatePunctuation, THEN … Great Filter: grow-up XOR force-extinguish one’s own species ).

    DarkTriad’s the fundamental problem, not degree-of-archy.

    Individual DarkTriads contending for their “victory” in “anarchy” will quickly enforce “archy”, as some win, due to circumstance, or whatever, over the others.

    Vertebrateness/archy only multiplies the power of the civilization: archy is a technology not a political-nature.

    Evil’s the root-problem, not the technology-we-structure-civil-process-through, archy or otherwise.

  • I’m coming at this from a totally different angle, and I’m not asking you to be the same kind of someone as I am, I’m only giving you this for sake of giving you a greater-scope map, so you can better-decide where you want to go, ok?

    WHEN one has no honest-acceptance in any others, THEN … there are several directions one can try to go…

    • one can try to gain belonging, while doing some work on making oneself more-acceptable ( 1/3 or less of one’s effort going into it, aka part-time )
    • one can try to gain belonging, committing total-immersion, possibly with a job-change, to earn ( in 1/4-1/2y, or more ) enough identity-transformation to become more-belonging with the someones one wants to be belonging with ( realistically, 3y might be required: bootcamp SMASHES identity, & it still has to take 1/4y to do it gradually-enough that it isn’t killing people )
    • other options I’ve never thought-of
    • instead of earning having a home in someone-else’s heart, belonging, earn a home in one’s own heart: self-acceptance.

    ( there is a fundamental-principle that alone isn’t inherently lonely … that is actually just social-conditioning, including all the love-songs, all the stories, movies, advertising, etc.

    Few people break the programming, however… )

    Another point is that co-dependency is what’s normal, nowadays, but Stephen R. Covey ( 1st, not 2nd or 3rd: apparently they proliferate, when you aren’t watching 'em : ) spoke on interdependency…

    I’m not sure if he understood just how independent people have to become, in order to be independently collaborating in inter-dependency…

    but it’s turned-out to be real & significant.

    People who’re codependent … simply aren’t standing on their own, collaborating autonomously, independently, as capable individuals…

    & society’s wired to push codependency, because dependent-populations are more manipulatable, & therefore more easy-prey, if you see…

    People who are self-determining … are much tougher to feed-on, for economic-parasites, ideological-parasites, or “pushers” of other kinds…


    While nice in theory, that doesn’t help anyone understand how to earn such a transformation, right?

    Simple: exactly as the root-guru of the Christians told us, face into karma … essentially, getting-addicted to growing-up!

    He phrased it “take up your cross”, but the meaning’s clear.

    ( what a soul sows, that soul reaps: karma. there’s no escaping his meaning, once one understands that frame-of-reference )

    So, what facing-into-karma would work-on-perfecting your greater-meaning?

    I’m not asking you to tell me, any reader, I’m asking you to dig, & dig, & dig, until YOU understand what your greater-meaning is…

    & once you’ve identified it, then make it ( if you want to ) your mission to get addicted to grinding-through your unconscious-ignorances, getting addicted to the realizations, to the growing-up process, & to the greater-freedom-of-self that that-process earns.


    Here’s an orthogonal tip:

    What makes a good partner for someone?

    Some want a doormat, so their ego can feel “big”.

    Boring.

    Some want to be pushed by a domineer, until they reach something deep in themselves, that they can’t reach any other way…

    Dig this, though:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anima_and_animus

    See how what one wants in a partner changes, as one grows-up?

    The final condition in that is wanting someone to be collaborating-with, while earning OUR way into realizing-our-souls, together…

    A partner, not a use/having relationship.

    Can you understand that if someone I treasure hates/despises me because of misunderstanding, or because of harm in them, or because of how wrong I’ve been, or ANY reason, that it’s fine?

    So long as they’re being true to themselves, then they’re progressing, & their-progressing makes me happy.

    If circumstance ever grants that they value me, fine. If not, that’s fine too.

    They aren’t mine.

    NO-one is “mine”, except me, see?

    Independence, having broken the belonging-drug’s geas, can feel incredible.

    & simply treasuring someone, regardless of where they are, or what they feel about one, wishing them well, wishing LivingSpirit to be taking-care-of-them…

    it’s good for one, see?

    Not as good as absolute-altruism, but I’m not there yet, & that’s fine…


    So, all of this is simply to provide you with a greater “map” of the available territory, which the social-programming-management-process won’t ever tell anybody about…

    & if you do a good mind-map of your current condition, & a good mind-map of what you want you to become, & you do a good here-to-there-transformations diagram, identifying what steps are required in each dimension, then you can progress more easily…


    I’m recommending a very-few utterly-glorious books, for liberating your life from unconscious-dysfunction-habits that we were all programmed into:

    Logan, King, & Dr. Fischer-Wright’s book “Tribal Leadership”, on the 5 culture-process levels ( street-gang/mass-shooter is 1, “LIVING IS SELF-INHERENTLY AWESOME” is 5, btw: 2 is the default )…

    I’d require all highschoolers to read that, so as to OWN their own live-quality more, & not be so helpless in the social-processing-machine…

    Kegan & Lahey’s book “Immunity to Change” which is on the mechanism our unconscious-mind has in it to fight off growing-up ( hence the title ), so as to protect dysfunction … & how to simply get past that dysfunction-protection-racket that we’ve got in us…

    Schneider’s book “Lead Right for Your Company’s TYPE” I also recommend, because we’re all applying the wrong processes onto the projects/works that we’re trying to get done, by default, & THAT is obliterating our life-opportunities from our world!

    Schneider puts it upside-down ( most authors who have profound-insights do 1 or more things dumb/wrong, in their books… I hope I outgrow that, but … bleah, on that unconscious-mind habit of making-mistakes! it’s quite noticeable in my writing ), putting the pie-in-the-sky Potential on the bottom, & putting the concrete Actuality on the top, of the 2x2 Matrix, but uprighted it’s brilliant what he gave us:

    People-Centric Task-Centric
    Pie-in-the-sky Potential Quadrant 1. Growing, Learning, Healing school, hospitals, mentoring, life-coaching Quadrant 2. Science, Discovery, Exploring, Driven-Excellence products/services
    Concrete Actuality Quadrant 3. Consensus, Urban-Planning, Mediation Quadrant 4. 6-Sigma, command-and-control, Manufacturing

    Notice that in an industrial-accident, in a factory, then suddenly we’d be in ALL OTHER quadrants, except Quadrant-4:

    ( I’m thinking of that video I saw of a German steel-mill, with a giant noodle of brightly-glowing steel filling the plant, setting fire to anything it could, filling the place FAST, as the ur-example of “industrial accident”, for this example )

    • Quadrant-1 getting the retrieved-casualties as healing as one can…
    • Quadrant-2 discovering what the hell’s the cause of the messing-everything-up
    • Quadrant-3 gaining consensus on “it’s been shut-down”, with no people left on the wrong page…

    Why would knowing which frames-of-reference are valid for each of those quadrants affect one’s ability to have quality-relationship?

    The more-completely one’s work takes care of itself, because one is now solving the right problem ( wisdom: solving the problem quickly is intelligence, but solving the right problem is wisdom, see? ) makes work more effortless, & that makes more of one’s effort be available for relationship!

    I don’t understand why people don’t understand that principle better…

    Right infrastructure reduces wasted-effort for all who are affected by that infrastructure ( I’m including software, legislation, public-works, community-harmony, everything we live among, rely-on, work-with, etc, as infrastructure ).


    So, here’s the links to those 3 books, in case you, or any reader, want to earn greater freedom-of-your-life from frustrations:

    https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/tribal-leadership-revised-edition

    https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/immunity-to-change-1

    https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/lead-right-for-your-company-s-type-1

    & no, I’m not an “affiliate” of any book-company, any for-profit operation, & my not-for-profit hasn’t been started yet ( been working on understanding it for decades ), so all this is just-me recommending stuff.

    Good books multiply one’s capability!

    Oh, that too!

    Please also read John Truby’s book “The Anatomy of Genre”, to understand how we program our unconscious-minds with the 14 genres, which genre works-on which dimension-of-our-unconscious-mind, so maybe you can progress quicker in earning YOUR essence & meaning…

    https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-anatomy-of-genres

    He makes 2 ( plus? ) noticeable mistakes in his book, but he’s of US culture, so … those are kinda expected:

    1. the true Archetypal Village isn’t the Wild West Village of the late-1800’s US, rather, it is the Mother Tribal Village, of the entire previous 2-million years, in the tribal lands of the world.

    He grew-up with westerns, so … that pushed him into wrong-framing…

    1. the root of humor is the moebius-strip, aka the strange-loop, not the put-down/drop, as US & English cultures have it.

    I’d never have clued-in to the truth, but Hofstadter’s GEB identified this back in the last century.

    Being walked around in a circle… but now one’s upside-down for some reason??

    THAT is the “shape” of humor.

    Surprisingly-violated-expectations!

    Aside from those 2 botches, that book of Truby’s is massive psychology advantage for anyone wanting to understand what their own unconscious-mind’s working-on, what others are working-on, what one’s culture considers meaningful, etc…


    So, anyone who wants to dig-in, enjoy!

    All paths are valid, just some are more-efficient, others more-effective, etc.

    _ /\ _



    1. you sure as hell don’t need to be outright-homeless to be in poverty. That’s born into destitution not mere-poverty ( the working-poor, in less-than-living-wage, are in poverty, but at-least they’ve got some lifeline, temporarily ).

    2. In some countries, there is a safety-net of some kind.

    3. tropical-contexts are MUCH less dangerous than nordic contexts, for this question.

    4. yes, education & employment & online-shopping & library-card, etc, all require that a person be not homeless, that they have a “legal address” that isn’t a post-office box.

    5. would the child be taken away, to care for them? Hoomin, in some countries there are harvesting of children for organ-removal, or for plain extermination: homeless/underclass lives are garbage in many institutions/class’s eyes… you’ve obviously never lived homeless for years.

    6. to great extent it depends on the culture, more than anything else. & individual-person’s-culture changes, throughout life ( people tend to become more conservative in some ways, as they get older, though that doesn’t mean moneyarchy-conservative, that can mean philosophically-conservative, or spiritually-conservative, or whatever, but the tendency is general & well-attested )

    7. What magical-factor would somehow “prevent” being homeless-from-birth, globally?? That doesn’t even make any sense.

  • Are you old enough to remember all the machiavellianisms committed by Microslop corp?

    As a relatively-recent example, their Windows Vista would secretly inform MS of all the search-queries done within windows.

    And … for some incomprehensible reason, that wasn’t prosecuted as a criminal offense.

    So, MS was being informed of things like …

    • hospital searching for “William Smith, bone cancer” & the search found the right file, & THAT kind of information was being forwarded back?

    • police searching for “Bob and Alice, classical physics violators”, & THAT kind of information would be forwarded back to MS?

    You don’t engineer-in machiavellianism like MS has done, for … it’s 40-years now? something like that … without making SOME people understand just how religious some corporations are, about being DarkTriad ( narcissism/machiavellianism/sociopathy-psychopathy ), in nature.

    & they aren’t the only ones.

    Nowadays, any corporation which violates DarkTriad … is considered … perhaps “mentally ill”, by market standards?

    I’m only using MS as an example.

    Remember when OpenOffice.org became the property of Oracle?

    LibreOffice.org was born in a week or 2?

    Cynicism absolutely is warranted, nowadays.

    I’m old-enough that MS’s stealing of Stac Electronics’ disk-compression algorithm, but they fucked-it-up, in their DOS 6.20 bit me.

    Assuming altruism on the part of some company … that is mental-illness, nowadays.

    I’m not agreeing with the assumption-river of the person you’re replying to, but I am saying that their reaction has basis/validity, nowadays.


    I found out, after using LM Studio, that LLM’s can access everything on one’s own system.

    I don’t know to what degree that’s true with LM Studio, but 1 time I gave an internet-address, & the LLM told me what it had found on the site I just told it of.

    I hadn’t known it had unrestricted internet-access.

    Later, I learned it could probably read every file on my system, too, & some AI-attacks get the LLM to get info from people’s personal files, single-out the credit-card, address, contacts, etc, information, & have the LLM forward that to a server out there…

    That isn’t a security-concern that normals would even consider.

    NOW I know that if I ever fire-up my desktop again, I’ll have to rip-out the LLM’s from my normal user-account, & create a completely-separate locked-down account, with NOTHING ELSE in it, only for them.

    & keep EVERYTHING personal in a different account, that they can’t even see.

    That isn’t an LM Studio specific thing, that is apparently required for ALL the things.

    & nobody’s warning anybody about this?

    I think it was on The Register that I found that out, last year…

  • Oligarchism is just 1 face of concentration-of-wealth-archy: monarchism, communist-party-archism are other variants of it.

    The REAL enemy is our unconscious-nature, our unconscious ego-addiction-to-ignorance-preventing-accountability-or-responsibility-while-assuming-inherent-authority-and-inherent-validity.

    ALL prejudices are rooted in that, not just class-prejudices.

    Until human-nature is force-changed, as it is going to be by the end of this century ( The Great Filter ), we’re going to keep enforcing DarkTriad’s rule for OUR supremacy, no matter what kind of “us” it is that we are identifying-as, gender, race, class, age, culture, ANYthing!

    Nothing can change that.

    It’s simply our world-species equivalent-to-puberty.

    EITHER some subset of humankind force-grows-up COMPLETELY, this-century, XOR… whole-species DarwinAward.

    Ever seen an addict fighting for their own life against their own unconscious-mind’s addiction-to-obliteration-and-nonresponsibility?

    We’re looking at planet-wide equivalent, now.

  • Please invest in reading https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-anatomy-of-genres … & then see movies through new eyes, “eyes to see”.

    You’ll be astonished at how high a percentage of movies are bad, once one understands what he’s giving, in that, about the 14 genres that the West has anchored on, & why each genre concentrates only on 1 specific dimension of human-meaning.

    ( & that was the genius of Star Wars: it included multiple-genres of stuff into its Space Western genre, which it created, from scratch )

    Truby’s other book, “The Anatomy of Story” is also required for anybody wanting to make story work properly.

    People who won’t learn from the best-of-the-best, never reach their true-potential, because they’re hobbling their leverage.

    Ego consistently hobbles leverage, in order to assert that it didn’t “need” any other.

    That’s like ignoring math, while designing aircraft: incompetent.

    Stand on the heads of giants, & reach farther into the “sky” of our potential.

    Those 2 books ought be required-reading in highschool.

    There are multiple levels going-on:

    Surface-level is mere “makeup”/distractions.

    Underneath that is the ideologies level.

    Under that is the fight between animal-reactions vs upright-correct-reasoning, which is what is required of our-species, to survive The Great Filter, which is the next 6-decades of wars.


    Within the ideologies-level, ideologies are fighting to break whatever it is that they hate.

    As was explained in some book published years ago, the Kremlin began investing in Trump in the 1980’s or so.

    That’s paying-off, now.

    Apparently there’s some gameshow movie, which shows that upper-middle-class people, even when competing against each-other, will join together to break their class-inferiors, beneath them.

    That is true of all identity-politics.

    The Academic-class-system does it ( just ask Sabine Hossenfelder, who was fired as a physicist, for not being a man ), gender-identity/politics does it, race-politics/identity does it, etc.

    So, the communist-party-imperialisms of the world work at exterminating any “other” who competes against them ( see Tibet, the Uyghurs, Hong Kong, the cultural-expression of Brutalism throughout the USSR, etc, for stark evidence of communism’s imperialism ), AND the fascists, with their cult-of-personality centrism, & their imperialisms also do this.

    “Horseshoe theory of politics”, that extreme-left & extreme-right are actually near-indistinguishable-in-behavior-towards-others, is oversimplification:

    it’s partly authoritarianism, which both are devout to, and imperialism, which both are devout to, AND it is rejection/extermination-of-diversity.

    That new law in China that ALL must learn Mandarin, is simply part of the communist snuffing-of-diversity, which the USSR did quite well, too.

    Once the far-right understands completely how breaking all non-fascist-will from all authority is their tactical-NEED, then there will be no pretence of Russia being Trump’s enemy, anymore.

    He’ll invoke the Insurrection Act, PURGE all who would threaten his kingdom ( that is “Dictatorship 101”, & I’m quoting a textbook-on-dictatorship, with that point ), & then … enforce his all-Americas “manifest destiny”.

    • annexing Canada, using Greenland to sever our EU-lifeline
    • Civil War Part2: confederate reverse-takeover & vengeance
    • imperial-expansion throughout Central & South America

    Why should he care about the other regions of the globe, when he can enforce his absolute “god”-hood, here?

    He wasn’t kidding about “Cuba is next”.

    Nor was he kidding about Venezuela.

    Or Mexico.

    Or Greenland.

    Or Canada.


    Part of the problem is false-framing:

    There is NO true-democracy in the West: representative-republic ISN’T democracy, it is 1-times ( minimum ) removed from democracy.

    In actual-democracy, the CITIZENS vote on the ISSUES.

    In representative-republic, “representatives” are elected, & then they decide on the citizenry’s behalf, what the citizenry’s being ruled-by.

    Totally different paradigm.

    Nowadays we’ve got the technology to make actual-democracy possible, but nobody’s got the spine to do it.

    Worse, exactly as pilot’s-licensing dictates who can vote on managing an airliner ( the passengers, who outnumber the pilots, have NO say in managing the aircraft, due to not being competent, not being responsible, & not being accountable for that work ), the same principle is required in civil-voting.

    People whose loyalty isn’t to the country, but instead is to some-other country, or to oligarchy, or to some ideology, cannot be permitted to vote, XOR the country’s inescapably-highjacked: it’s only a matter of time.

    The US is demonstrating this, shamelessly.

    But that would mean being able to measure loyalty in people.

    Now that can be done, with psychology & tech.


    The deepest level, though, is animal-reacting fighting-off upright-correct-reasoning.

    The whole unconscious-mind ego-apocalypse-fighting-off-moral-anxiety thing, that is manifesting through all the different ideologies/religions, is this.

    Unconscious-ignorance is working itself into THE TANTRUM/POGROM TO BREAK GOD AND MAKE GOD OBEY!! its totalitarian-domion.

    THAT will exterminate nearly-all humankind in the next 6-decades.

    The piddling little violence we’re seeing today ( 2026-03-13 ), is NOTHING compared with what we’re going to be seeing by the end of April, from the looks of it, as THE WHOLE WORLD swings into the Regional Consolidation Wars { Americas ; Europe, with China backing Putin to mow-down the European threat to future Chinese planet-dominion ; Asia, once the West abandons it, is China’s ; Africa will be owned by Saudi Arabia, too, in 7 years }

    Unconscious-mind is the RULER of our world.

    It’s ego-games obliterate more lives than ANY other force in the world.

    We “can’t afford” to make industry accountable? The egos in authority won’t allow it.

    We “can’t afford” to regulate anything correctly? ditto.

    ( hint: to win a NASCAR race, you need the most-tightly-regulated/maximally-efficient/maximally-effective engine+drivetrain you can get. Sloppy LOSES races. Same with economies. Sloppy economies lose. Efficiently regulated economies can FAR outclass sloppy ones, whether communist, fascist, party-oligarchic or individual-oligarchic, monarchic, or any other ego-concentrates-wealth-to-itself paradigm.

    EU’s inefficiency is boggling.

    US’s corruption is boggling.

    Neither can compete with harnessed & maximally-efficient economy.

    Paywalling standards, as the ISO does, is anti-efficiency.

    Balkanizing tax-filing for for-profit-parasite’s benefit, harms the efficiency of the economy.

    You “can’t be loyal to 2 contradictory gods”, right?

    We have to make whole economy effectiveness be what our gov’t is for, NOT for wealth-concentration, which is their primary loyalty, & status/validity-segregation, which is what social-class-systems are made-of )

    Anyways, if you want to understand that deepest level, then https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/thinking-fast-and-slow is THE book to read.

    Lower-forebrain/“System-1”/imprinted-reaction is fighting to overthrow correct-reasoning/“System-2”/upper-forebrain from all authority, so then it can tantrum/pogrom & be no-moral-anxiety-LORD, with no responsibility for what it’s done.

    THAT is what’s ACTUALLY going on, globally.

    All the rest is more superficial, mere “makeup”.

    NO ideology will adapt to evidence, because they’re all axiom-based, not evidence-based.

    THAT is the lethal “drug” that humankind’s about to be self-exterminating with, for 6-decades.

    I expect 0.1B left alive, IF humankind succeeds in growing-up.

    IF humankind won’t, then DarwinAward for our entire species, this century.

    Surviving unconscious-mind’s obiteration-addiction IS HARD, as any dead-by-overdose life can attest.

    & ego-“LORDHOOD” is the most-indellible “drug”.

    The stuff that’s happening in any individual-locale, is just the appearances/distractions ON the underlying species-“puberty” we’re hitting.

    That isn’t the REAL current/transformation/difficulty…
