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

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?

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?

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.
