I don't believe worldly justice is on the horizon for us.

Bad news. Worldly justice is just around the corner. Yes, there are people working to make things worse, but let's not forget they have zero power without the compliance of (most) everyone else.

Compliance with evil deserves a reward, and that reward is worldly justice.

The question of the "justice" is when is this evil going to stop, if not reverse back to what things were before?

While bumps in the road may be built into the plan (keep the herd off-balance), the evil is only going to get exponentially worse from here.

If you've read or watched much that's been posted in the past couple years, you've watched or read them openly revealing their goals and plans. As a part time sociopath, I understand and agree with the necessity of a massive reduction in the human population, as we're in the classic boom and bust cycle found in other animal species.

However, the globalhomo and other degeneracies reveal their non-altruistic intentions. Remember when kings literally owned the slave class? Those who (not completely inaccurately) see themselves as kings today are in control of just about everything, and are solidifying their grip as we peruse saidit. There may be a 'pet class' after the purges, but they will have to be fully compliant.

Bottom line is that it's not going to stop, and we're still in what will be called the "good old days".

In Heaven, there won't be anymore boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife. Nothing still around to "save", build, or improve either. I wish an alternative afterlife could exist for me.

As the story goes, you'll own nothing and be totally happy. It'll be pretty different from this.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

You mean in Heaven? Yeah, Heaven sounds like the cosmic version of that too.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

So I'm correct, there will be no future justice after all.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (9 children)

One of the few possibilities I consider if there was a major cataclysmic shock that even the global class fail to foresee ahead of time. But, the question is if so many people were already purged or otherwise were taken by the disaster.

There is no way out of here.

When the covid pandemic first started, I didn't know what to believe, but it was proven pretty quickly that it was leaked out of a lab. So I was thinking maybe it was something that might lead to humans going extinct including even the elites which they would not want. Of course it is not that deadly, but something that is could possibly come about some day.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

The elites aren't stupid people.

[–]StillLessons 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (6 children)

I have a background that gives me good insight into who "the elites" are. I know them, have lived and dined with them, though I have chosen a path which keeps me outside of their inner circles.

The elites are no smarter or less smart than you or I. It comes down to motivation and worldview. Their obsession is managing the world, and that is where they put their energy. The fact that they choose to do this does not remotely mean that they have the skill to do so successfully, but their motivation and obsession with power give them the energy to fight to stay at the table, successful or not.

They aren't happy. They live their lives in fear, forever seeing the failure of their plans to provide the benefits that in their delusion they convince themselves will materialize, and never seeing that the failure is not because of their enemies but because their entire premise is flawed.

It's not about "smart" vs "stupid". They are as stupid as all of us are. The particular failing of people who would "lead", however, is a lack of compassion. Because they think they are "above", they have no ability - and though they cannot see this they actually have no true desire - to understand the people in the world they pretend to lead. Since they cannot understand them, there can never be any connection, and without connection, there will never be "leadership", only a master-slave dynamic.

The group that I do find bizarre is the many many people in the middle who allow ourselves to be treated as slaves in this dynamic. It wouldn't happen if we didn't allow it. Yet it has happened continuously throughout human history. What the evolutionary advantage to this dynamic is I have no idea, but if we take evolutionary biology as a legitimate premise, there must be one or this wouldn't be the default pattern.

Of course this moronic comment was up-voted. So tell me, which elites do you know? I had a long conversation with Bill Gates in the early days of Microsoft. I raised capital in Silicon Valley, talking to the major venture capitalists there. I met with PayPal's founders (Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, etc.). And I worked with a lot of traders on Wall St. All of these people were much smarter than the average moron, there is just no comparison.

The funny thing is I cannot name drop, because I don't even remember the guy's name. I didn't find him that interesting. But because he was a friend of a family member of mine, I was on his yacht for an afternoon in the channel between Palm Beach and West Palm. We cruised around a few hours with 20 or so people - long enough to get briefly stuck on a sand bar before the captain managed to extract the boat - and then went home. I believe he was a retired CEO (or somewhere high up) in an insurance company, though I may be wrong even about that. Sadly, within a few years of my meeting him, I learned from my family member that this man had committed suicide.

I also went to one of the feeder colleges to the people who end up powerful on Wall Street, so I saw these people around me when I was doing my BA. I've had a variety of experiences, but as I said because I am not interested in power, I'm not friends with any of them, only acquaintances.

Your comment and mine differ only in how "smart" is defined. I will not deny these guys have amazing skill-sets to get them where they are. Yes, their minds are impressive if you decide to compete with them. On their turf, I wouldn't dare compete; they'd clean my clock. Sure.

But the example of this guy who "owned" the yacht I was on. When the boat got beached, was he of any use? None. Not in his area of expertise. In other words, these guys - like most "geniuses" - are brilliant within their specialty. Their specialty happens to be financial power. As such, unfortunately, their decisions affect all of us, and because the main trait of most of these people is an intense, sometimes pathological, desire to compete and defeat others, they will do so.

So they're winning. They are fulfilling their prime purpose. They are ending up on top.

Where are they not so smart? Their delusion is to believe that they can compete and win in the way that they do while maintaining a functioning society below them. Look around. They're winning, but what's left of the field over which they can rightly claim victory? They think that when they win all will be wine and roses, but in the process of winning, they are destroying that over which they desire to lead.

So no, name dropping is not particularly helpful here. I respect that they are "smart" in the sense you mean, but that form of intelligence is well on its way to creating a dystopian hellhole for us all to inhabit.

How come you never ended up in that circle? Or maybe you did? Was Silicon Valley different when you were there?

[–]fschmidt 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I am basically a programmer, not a businessman, so I could never fully be part of that circle. But I did co-found a $1B business in Silicon Valley, so I was close to that circle. And yes, Silicon Valley was different when I was there. I would be generally culturally unacceptable there now. (And ironically enough, I am writing this from a hotel room on an extended business trip to Silicon Valley.)

Interesting observations here.

[–]ZvezdaRussian 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

But the issue is, many many people are compliant already. And by worldly justice, what do you mean?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

That's what I'm asking him.

So you are. I'm working my way up from the bottom.

That comment is relevant to your question.

“In view of the law of natural selection it was agreed that a nation or world of people who will not use their intelligence are no better than animals who do not have intelligence. Such people are beasts of burden and steaks on the table by choice and consent.”

― William Cooper, Behold a Pale Horse

I mean humanity is going to reap the natural consequences of its essence, "and the end result will be the most wonderful experience in the history of man, or the most horrible enslavement that you can imagine."

It's true that many many people are already compliant, and as such are no better than the animals we eat. They deserve to be eaten, or whatever happens to them, because they are directly enabling the evil that will overtake them.

Kinda sucks to live on the same planet with them though.

It does suck, there is not much we can do about general human idiocy but at least there are still a few people capable of using their minds around.

What do you think a person like me or you can do to maintain our ability to critically think? My British friend was telling me about how he visited a university there and he could feel his IQ drop a few points as he saw all of the women with ridiculously coloured hair and heard conversations about the finer points of anarchism 😆 Also, how could I get people to critically think about things? I have a friend from my childhood who is staying at my place currently and he has always been quite an angry person. I am trying to think of ways to get him to think about why he feels a certain way towards things and I am attempting to get him to think about why he makes decisions in a better more clear way in his mind. Any ideas?

What do you think a person like me or you can do to maintain our ability to critically think?

There are probably some specific practices one could follow, but I'm guessing one would be to stop paying attention to the incredible retardation that appears to be overtaking our species. I'm not doing it, but I think isolating oneself into a subset of reality might allow some critical thinking.

As for your friend, what specifically is he angry about? Therapists have techniques to draw out answers from people with anger or other problem emotions. I don't think I can describe in a comment how to go about that without potentially 'setting him off' in an angry episode. You kind of have to elicit some of that emotion to access the reason he's holding on to the anger.

You could just ask why he's so angry. To maintain rapport, assuming you have it, repeat whatever he says back to him, as follows.

"Dudebro, I hear you saying you're angry because [insert the exact words he used here]. Is that right?"

It's kind of a delicate process to access someones highly emotional state. I don't think I'm able to tell you in a comment how to help your friend be less angry and make better decisions. I guess being as sympathetic as you can be, while evaluating his answers and non-verbal responses might be an approach.

Thanks for the advice :)

May I ask, how old are you?

[–]NodeThis is my flair. There are many like it, but this one is mine. 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

As the kids would say, old af. If I hadn't already turned away from society 20 years ago, and had chosen to be a wage slave instead, I could retire this year.
