Grii Mae, the Russians now realise how corrupt and degenerate the Western nations have become. They are now building an alliance with China 🇨🇳 and India to hopefully create an alternative World order.
This really illuminated a vague feeling I'd had about how 'events' no longer seem to have any facts or substance. We're just given a few talking points and then we react to each other's reactions until we're fed something new, and yesterday becomes meaningless because it was never really about whatever actually took place.
Reaction for reaction's sake. And notice the label leftists like to toss at non-leftists: REACTIONARY. Once again, projecting their own flaws, both logical and ethical, onto others.
Very interested in the way many sources and commentators I am familiar with are looking to Lovecraft for similes. Today is insane and most people are insane, but is that a natural God world reaction to society becoming digitised and social media in a society that is not equipped or smart enough to handle it? Or has our reality really ‘skipped a track’ between our past course and a new one? For me, the world skipped a track on 9/11, the sky hasn’t ever looked the same since. But then, on Nov 5 21 in Houston, a gateway was opened into this reality from somewhere else and this reality was shaken to its core, and the ‘wrong seasons’ feeling mentioned has accelerated without brakes. Maybe we are now in the rule of new yet ancient forces on the reality we currently inhabit as we hurtle down this final straight in the race.
Our ancestors were given a pikestaff to march off and fight the Frenchies with. In fact, they probably had to make their own. Now we have navigate this ubiquitous war against everyone and everything. I want to wake up in an English meadow with the sound of birdsong. It was all a horrible dream.
I offer Morgoth my deepest sympathies for his having to delve into lefty RU-vid for the making of this video. I hope that his sanity is intact after gazing into that abyss of madness.
@Fellow Æthelweard Although it is trivial to hear fictional analogies, one must think of our current predicament to that of Isildur’s failure to cast the Ring of Power into the fires of Mount Doom. We are living with the consequences of complacency/corruption from our recent ancestors. Though we may fail in our endeavour, I believe it is imperative that we continue the fight for the sake of our descendants.
Absolutely spot on. The last few years have been like a manic game of musical chairs as enemies swap places with collaborators and back again, as once important groups or individuals are shoved from the arena, to be replaced with unknown non entities who wish to see you unseated. All the while, the incessant unmelodic music continues..
Postmodernity has come and gone, hypermodernity has subsumed reality. We were better off when everything was cynical and coated in irony. Those times at least allowed some form of dissent, even if it was distorted. Now dissident viewpoints are lost on most individuals who are encapsulated within the hyperreality. We used to live in the desert of the real, which has now been nuked and we live in the fallout. Thanks for the video, my man.
Evan -- if you scour the webz for David Foster Wallace's thoughts on "postmodernism" and the over-plenty of irony, and also for whatever passes for his "final thoughts" found written some time before he killed himself, you'd find that he was thinking along the same lines as your comment, when considering his own place within the culture and how he felt alienated from it -- enough to be existentially pained. Wallace's work was categorized, packaged & sold by his publishers' PR men as "post-modernism" and like other bright, intelligent writers before him (Wm Gaddis, perfect example and a hero to Wallace) couldn't measure up to the writer's idiosyncratic briliance and needed to have a PR label. Just like they'd done with "cyberpunk" and afterward with "steampunk." Soul killers whenever they get the chance, and they never shy away from seeking such chances.
Good to see you are still fighting fit despite the cyber-buggery. As a millennial, one of the main banes of my social life is my peers using Harry potter, star wars etc reference points. Bring up reality and conversation stalls most times. Cope upon cope with a foundation ground out in West Hollywood
All politics in the USA in the post-nynahleaven era are mediated entirely by Hollywood's multimedia vectors -- teevee shows, movies, music. Most Americans, at this stage of American history, treat fully fictional teevee shows as if they are fully-vetted legitimate documentaries. No wonder CGI is so heavily used. Do we really think any video footage during this kooky yooky era is legitimate when CGI images are treated by most fools as reality? And anyone so taken-in by Hollywood will have a very hard time seeing that their politics have been pre-formed by Hollywood programming. They think anyone deviating from the Hollywood script is a "domestic terrorist," for cryin' out loud.
Absolutely man. The Cope used to be football but they're even too pussified for football. Really are like pre teen boys in men's bodies. Seen grown arse men have arguements about marvel, star wars etc. The previous generation used to argue like that about football .It ain't much better but at least it wasn't cringe and embarrassing. Before football of course the men took an interest in politics and the establishment don't want awake ,real men interested in politics . Because in the words of George Carlin 'we might figure out how badly we're being F*UK*d

Not a single day passes by now where i dont YEARN, with all my heart and soul, to wake up as a farmer with a family of 5 in the 18th century. None of the "comforts" of modernity justify living in its soul destroying nightmarish existence.
Yes, escape to a world that exists no more. Hide from the battle outside your window; dream of alternate worlds, or living in the far distant past like some sexless neet in an a generic isekai where everything's perfect, where you or your children certainly wouldn't just one day vanish from the plague or an infected, stubbed toe. Better to hide in a simple world rather than face the circumstances before you, huh? Why fight and work with the tools you so eagerly spit at? Why do anything, when you can cower and cry instead of working for what you're owed? You've only got one chance at life, and this is how you're presently spending it. If you can't even begin to try to help yourself, you don't deserve to be helped by anyone. You are one brick among many in the giant wall of cowards that's holding us back. No, don't try and make connections with your friends. No, don't build a network of skills and utilities, making the most of the scenario around you, side-stepping the walled off environments of social media ; just hide! Give up and hide. You don't deserve a peaceful future since you won't face to the bl00dshed and metaphorically fight for it, so I suppose it's probably best you just hide in a long gone past. The past is all you look towards and work for, so naturally the dust and all its other remains of this past is frankly all that you deserve.
I know what you mean Last week I arrived at a motorway petrol station and squeezed off thirty quids worth of unleaded. Imagine my embarrassment when I went in to pay and realised I had forgotten my wallet. Things went from bad to worse when the irate petrol station manager pointed out that I had also forgotten my car !
Just want to thank morgoth for also covering COVID & digital IDs as the government are sneaking slot of stuff in through all this madness! Brilliant analysis as always
The old right is more sophisticated as well. In America I’ve been embarrassed at many people in our government. I mentioned right because I was raised in a very military Reagan family. I have watched videos of him & old party…people had much more decorum. I long for more tact & decorum in America. Time to take out the trash
@@birdgirl1516 The "Old Right" is not a term that should be associated with post-WW2 Buckleyite trash. Pat Buchanan has written about the Old Right and how they were unlike anything we see in politics today.
Zorro9129 - the 'Old Right' was anti abolition, until it happened. It was anti universal suffrage, until it happened. Anti Intervention, until it happened. Anti MLK, until it happened. Unless you fetishise losing constantly, then any labels describing oneself as 'Right' is a stupid decision.
You can still talk to people who are important in your life. True, the overwhelming media bombardment of lies is almost stifling and it seems no true voices will be allowed -- but at the interpersonal level you can still talk to people who matter to you. Help them see what currently is obscure to them. Start by empathizing with their confusion regarding these past few years' events, from flupanic to bee L emm & auntie fah to ken OSHA to Jan the sixth to yooky rallies currently.
This feels like Wag the Dog to me. Suddenly everyone jumped to look at Ukraine and even are ok with blatant propaganda despite being aware of the previous lies, and i'm just confused how quickly people moved into a new topic.
I'm more concerned with what's happening in the background. So many rumors and nobody really covering anything besides Ukraine. Example, the passport issue is apparently being fast tracked along
@Titanium Man In this era it seems more like 95%, though there are signs of crumbling among the people I know across the USA. Skepticism is slowly dawning. And that's why we have the kooky yooky fiasco afoot now as Panic Item Number One.
If you look at the Marvel movies, skyscrapers and sometimes entire cities are reduced to rubble. Yet there never seem to be human cost. Cities are reduced to rubble only to be remade anew when the Avengers square off with next bad guy, in the next movie. I remember from my childhood a japanese animation where the children melted as the bomb went off over Hiroshima. It really had a profound effect on me as a child. I was terrified of nuclear war. Now I'm terrified that these people who live in the Captain Ukraine hyperreality will get us into a nuclear conflict.
I just drink whisky in the evening, and then laugh at the absurdity of it all. In the day I am too busy with work to bother with the news. I get by, enjoy life on the whole, and never let these fuckers take space in my head rent-free
Our own worst enemy is ourselves. We should be focusing on getting rich, living good lives and collectivising in our own small communities first, before dreaming of taking on the world on the political front.
I usually just say "Did black rock pay you to say that?" I'm met with "Black rock?" Ah the people that know you better than you know yourself and you're not even aware of their existence lol
BlackRock directly benefited from the hysteria of the last two years because BLM riots crashed property prices in inner city areas, insurance went through the roof and all of the businesses in these areas had negative cash flow due to covid lockdown. Guess who bought these properties up at discount prices? Not only that but these properties lie in bands of the cities where there are tax exemptions for property purchases. Catherine Austin Fitts explained how this works in detail. Don’t get me started on Larry Fink’s ESG investment metric.
Great vidya as always. Just the other day I referenced that passage from Lovecraft when talking to my wife about the state of life and reality and the fact that people we once knew as thinking breathing humans have been reduced to something barely sentient. There truly is something awfully demonic about everything that is going on.
just read a line in ernst junger's WW2 journals about the masses who surrounded him having abandoned free will and more resembling machines with a demonic aspect than men: same energy
Absolutely impeccable work. One of your best videos that you have made, just in the scope, brevity and overall tone of it all. It bears repeated viewings because there's going to be something that will resonate differently next time.
One of the very finest RU-vid channels. I'm back commenting after having my old account closed for the crime of arguing against covid lockdown fetishists.
This war has brought out levels of virtue signalling i didn’t think possible. Although its not very virtuous to argue for a war to include two nuclear powers!
15:14 "In an age of hyperreality, the realist is king" -- I was going to say that I think this is a slip, but I get it now. But obviously Mearsheimer is not very mainstream, and I don't feel much like a king despite hoping I am among the realists here. As you say later, it's hyperreality vs. reality, and hypperreality seems to be "in charge" (however chaotic of a force it is). But again, the analogy works. Also, 16:18 -- such a great line. I think my very favourite line is the more cryptic opening of the same story: "Nyarlathotep . . . the crawling chaos . . . I am the last . . . I will tell the audient void. . . ." It is followed directly by the paragraph that Morgoth quotes from here. I'm posting it in full, because why not. It would be even more relevant if most people really felt what would perhaps be the appropriate sense of dread (our childish leaders behaving as they do in the face of a nuclear power), and were willing to admit our own (certainly the West's) "monstrous guilt": "I do not recall distinctly when it began, but it was months ago. The general tension was horrible. To a season of political and social upheaval was added a strange and brooding apprehension of hideous physical danger; a danger widespread and all-embracing, such a danger as may be imagined only in the most terrible phantasms of the night. I recall that the people went about with pale and worried faces, and whispered warnings and prophecies which no one dared consciously repeat or acknowledge to himself that he had heard. A sense of monstrous guilt was upon the land, and out of the abysses between the stars swept chill currents that made men shiver in dark and lonely places. There was a daemoniac alteration in the sequence of the seasons-the autumn heat lingered fearsomely, and everyone felt that the world and perhaps the universe had passed from the control of known gods or forces to that of gods or forces which were unknown." -- from "Nyarlathotep" by H. P. Lovecraft

Governance and politics would be _paradise incarnate_ if not for all the pesky populace scurrying about, wanting to live their lives. - some schwabist, probably On a side note: I'm glad you're putting the script on substack, as I'm finding it easier to fully digest arguments and crystallize thoughts when they're in written form. All my best, Morgs! Thanks for helping us* see and visualize other facets of what we're presented with and or manage to come up with on our own. *(At least some of us; people like myself)
At 2:00 Morgoth what I think is going on is what Rob Ager described as "overloading" which is a technique which is used to hypnotize people. We can't draw breath to reflect on all that ahs been going on for (in my estimation) the last 8 years or so. As Rob points out it this overloading technique which puts the subject in to a highly suggestible state. And that is where we (collectively) are at and I think we are probably for the most part highly suggestible at this point. I certainly know I would be in that camp if I hadnt discovered your content (and others like it) 3 years ago .
"...going on for (in my estimation) the last 8 years or so." Might depend on how old you are and for how long you've been paying closer attention, but to me it seems very easily tied to nynahleaven. Which would be 23 years. Longer term views show marked cultural breaks in the Vietnam era as well. And that's 50+ years. American network teevee got radicalized in that era, and I was old enough to witness the broad-band pushing in American culture of hippie culture values, "unisex" clothing and cologne/perfume, "unisex" haircuts, mainstreaming porn, "head shops," "flower power." Rowan & Martin's "Laugh-In," a very popular show, was trippy-hippy in its presentation. Pop & rock music got trippy, relative to just prior to the full flush of the Vietnam war. We can also see shifts in the WWtwo era. So it really depends on at what micro-level of these revolutionary changes one wants to look.
You have a great talent for poetically conveying and distilling the complete inversion of our reality. My particular favourite was the comparison between the American General and a Roman legate facing the madness of his civilisational decay. Fortunately for the Roman, he still had a semblance of a traditional order and world to return to once his empire fell. Who can say what lies in store for us beyond the horizon, after the 'end of history'? Francois Baranger has just released the second illustrated volume of 'At the Mountains of Madness' in English, and I am reminded of the protagonists companion, Danforth, tempting one last look over his shoulder at the fabled nightmare plateau of Leng, and being driven utterly insane at what he saw beyond those peaks.
Excellent video. I wrote but did not send an email to you on this topic of institutional power. We on the dissident right have voices (people) but not institutions. Institutions can do research and analysis without having to rely on making popular videos and they can also handle multiple objectives: demographics and medical issues at the same time. I felt your frustration that so many on the dissident right were stuck talking about demographics and not doing research into the medical issues. And the answer to that is we need institutions that can do deeper research on multiple topics rather than just relying on non-institutional voices repeating popular topics to their audiences. Keep up the good work.
Agree. Demographic replacement is a symptom of this Globalisation nightmare we live under. We need to understand power and hopefully eventually grab some FIRST, before addressing the problems.
Although there are a few such institutions, such as the Abbeville Institute or the Mises Institute, anything that directly opposes the Ruling Elite's myths will be relentlessly attacked in a variety of ways. It's much harder for an institution to go under the radar than an individual, and resolving this conundrum is a challenge. Secret societies perhaps, but they require a higher quality of person not easily found.
The world right now is like the worst computer game ever where each level has absolutely nothing to do with the last and the characters and rules are different with each level and all you do is what you’re told to do to get to the next. No contemplation, no intelligence just collect your card and wear that colour flag and then on to the next. (Expletives removed)
Sensational quality as always Morgoth. In a world that has become increasingly nightmarish to our ilk, your folk delivery of such lines is poetic. May the spirit of our ancient ancestors manifest and give us the strength/clarity necessary to overcome this evil and deliver a world worth preserving.
"“... but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age. ” ― H.P. Lovecraft,
Thank you for uploading to Bitchute too Morgs. Both Odysee & Bitchute can be fickle. The way I see it, is to share opinions on as many platforms as we can.
This stuff is fascinating. The example I am reading about is comparing Disneyland to downtown LA. Similar to your analogy of the ghost of Kiev to the tanks rolling down the street, some theorists argue (as you did with the ghost of Kiev) that Disneyland would be considered "hyper-real". However, another theorist argued that Disneyland essentially becomes "real" and that in comparison, its LA that would be hyper-real. Pretty mind boggling stuff tbh. Either-way, fantastic video as always!
It's easy to dismiss contrarianism but I genuinely believe that for the last few years if you had done no more than take the opposing view to mainstream and social media and academia you'd have been right the overwhelming majority of the time.
It's almost astounding to me how often taking the 180 deg opp view is absolutely correct. At other points in my life there was always media/govt PR shade & spin, but never so bold as to go directly opposite reality/truth with total fabrication, like now. During Reagan's tenure, people touted the lack of controlled message journalism in the USA, compared to the USSR's Pravda. Where are we now on that score?
well contrarianism is just disagreeing because you dont like the other person or peoples. Although i hate the British Bullshitting Corporation the only reason ive disagreed with just about everything they have spouted is because they have cherry picked all their information that whole time and given less than zero credence to opposing opinions, i remember actual antivax people on the telly years ago going back and forth casually and respectfully with the likes of the BBC and that was fine but as soon as covid hit they pretended like every other view but theirs was fringe and baseless and acted like they didnt exist most of the time unless directly confronted or being part of the context of a news story.

Taking a step back and watching a video from you halos lend some good perspective on things. Every video you upload gets me thinking about these topics in a way I hadn’t done before. If only my professors had talked and taught like you did maybe I would’ve enjoyed college lol.
Twitter and Reddit have created some alternative reality in which the plucky Ukrainians are kicking the arses of the Russian military, despite a massive Russian convoy steadily making its way towards Kiev. I'm interested to know if they'll ever accept the reality of the situation or whether they'll remain like Monty Python's Black Knight to the bitter end.
twatter and dreadit are magnets for think-small, talk-big people, all of them competing for lowbrow instant pundit props in the forms of "ratios" that are watched like a pennypincher watches his coin. What's saddest is that socially speaking, among the great majority of people who seek (in whatever feeble to great ways) to inform themselves, such twatter and dreadit micropundits are given social credibility capital. A fantastic example of self-promoting to pinnacle teevee/Hollywood icon status is Glenn Greenwald. You probably don't want to know much about his background if you find him impressive.
@@paddykiernanmusic As with most who rise to the level he's at, it's important to examine where he comes from and what he's done -- and then, why he only goes part-way when examining problems. In another comment in this thread I talked about Chomsky and Debord in the same way. What's omitted, or soft-pedaled, is often more relevant than what's shared or examined. I am not keen on pre-loading people's conclusions, so I'd say just look into his alleged legal chops and where he started making money, and how he did so. I remember his first blog, which was a bit iconoclastic in its era. His views gradually got softer until larger outfits hired him to write. And Omidyar, what's that about? Just dig around and look at the trails.
Yeah i know, one minute they are crying likes its hiroshima and nagasaki then next minute they are like the russians efforts are pathetic! i dont believe i single word of the news so much bollocks came out just on day one let alone now.
I’m finding it hard to express into words as eloquently as morgoth but the thing that scared me most about the Ukraine war was the virtue signalling hypocritical clown show culminating with the House of Commons speaker wearing a blue and yellow jester suit and telling everyone to clap. I remember watching Newsnight and the panel were cheering at Iraq getting blown up. My colleagues all suddenly hate Russia and think Put1n is as bad as H1tler. I did try and mention Iraq and Yemen but then gave up. To see how easily people can be manipulated scares me and I wonder just how far they could be brainwashed?
Yeah, within minutes of Ukraine being invaded people just went click and switched to the dont you dare ask questions mentality, i mentioned to my mum how russia is in a similar position to the one the U.S was in during the cuba missile crisis and all she had to say was along the lines of 'so you're a putin supporter' even though i said im against the invasion. I also mentioned similar to what you said that people like her loathed the iraq war and war on terror yet support helping and potentially starting WW3 over a country almost as far away and as irrelevant to our lives as Ukraine? i think Ukraine should surrender and just accept the loss otherwise unnecessary lives are gonna be lost because lets be honest they are not repelling a hypothetical 2.9 million strong army with ten times the equipment.
I can imagine one day they will allow an untested ,unknown substance directly into their bloodstream. Just kidding of course that could never happen, even a bad outer limits tv episode would not dream that up.
Sadly Putin is just another Trump, a zionist "conservative" who has good PR. If Putin was such a great trad nationalist, why does he allow Chabad Lubavitch to run wild in his country? Why does he get so cozy with top kabbalist rabbis? Why was his mother's name Shelomova, the female russian form of Shlomo? Why have UNESCO's programs been in the federation's school system since the 90's? Why does Dugin say that he believes gender is just a social construct if he's so traditional? So many questions to ask, but the right is buying it all hook line and sinker just like they did with Trump because "he has all the right enemies!" which gives him martyrdom status, even though his media smear campaign will only get him more followers from the "if the mainstream says it's bad then it must be good" people. Same exact thing with Elon Musk. The man OWNS NEURALINK, he is a self-avowed transhumanist, and now all of a sudden just because he gets heckled by the media he is le epic based conservative hero. What a joke.
At this point, we’re like the star quarterback of our high school football team, having our lunch money stolen by some 90lb nerd. Just look at the people beating us up. Why are we letting that happen?

There's been a CD stuck in my car stereo for some time. So I have a choice of that well trodden path or FM so yeah I've put R4 on now and again just to see what I'm supposed to think today.. Every time I the news is on it's all about Ukraine then straight into the sport. There is nothing else going on apparently.
I have been really struggling to get a handle on and figure out what is going on lately especially with this latest crisis. Each new crisis brings a further layer of hysteria to public discourse. I hadn't noticed the extent to which the political left wing narrative has inverted. As Morgoth points out the fervent anti war anti capitalists seem to be revelling in the conflict, goading their leaders toward military intervention, turning to the bankers industrialists etc to exert their financial power and become heroes of the oppressed.
Sometimes I view the realisation many of us have gone through as a summoning of Cthulhu. Gradually noticing the effect capitalism has been having on traditional society, realising the mass demographic change and even questioning the numbers related to certain events that form the basis of much of modern politics. All of these realisations allow you to see the truth, and seeing that truth is in my mind like summoning Cthulhu. This monstrous entity that was always there in the shadows, that you can finally see and feel powerless in the presence of
The perverted demon of progressivism which has subverted us to betray and defile our traditional/ancient/ancestral ways of living is the root of every.single. one.of our problems.
I have had one thought about capitalism and thats what do we do when a huge company can no longer grow or even not lose money over time without using tactics like forced obsoletion, designed to fail at x time and generally selling useless crap that people dont really need or ask for but are "cool". When it comes to the car industry how would companies keep afloat if they made cars to be as reliable and fixable as possible? its something i cannot figure out and i think its a major flaw in capitalism maybe the worst one.
In the end ut will be who controls the narrative who will rule upon our people. The masses will just follow the strong and those who shouts the loudest. And that isnt necessarily wrong. If in some way, shape or form we could wrestle power we could reprogram their brain.
I spend a lot of time writing on this, and I think the real issue here is who holds the monopoly on critical thinking in society. This would be institutions such as government, MSM, and schools. These hold the monopoly because of how much time and space is available to and devoted to critical thinking and mastering writing, which far outpaces the majority of the public. The public on the other hand is too tied up with work, and raising their families, and thinks too much off the cuff. Also, with these institutions being so suited to critical thinking and collecting information, they build up the reputation that they should be able to know what's best for us. Yes, but just as equally they are the prime targets for subversion and corruption. This is where it will happen, and more likely to happen with Democracy and with how much the public's level of thinking is outpaced by the institutions. So, if there's one place that would be spreading falsehoods, is likely you institutions, especially the government. Your government is the top place this will happen with how much power is seated there. And with this being the monopoly, things like MSM, political leaders, and the radio and television become God or our brains. A look through the WW2 era and Civil Rights era is a great demonstration of this. The public loses their minds to it, just as they are now. How to counter this, I suggest a return to writing. I think our problem is that we all think too much off the cuff, and here can not articulate and refine our arguments anywhere well enough to properly challenge the regime were under. With writing though, you can far more quickly and accurately connect, retain, and manage your train of thought. You can put it all under a microscope, and work your arguments through until you know your are correct. This is where you will do your best work, and this is where the greatest minds have done there best work. This is where the greatest minds needed to go to achieve such greatness, and where we will need to go, to overpower this system. I think this applied on mass will not help us lose our minds, but find them. And I have no doubt, this would work fast. Here, the woke nonsense will end. Here, the GAE will end.
I absolutely agree, reminds me of a few ideas. First being the idea that free will does not exist and you are scarily alot less in control of your daily life, opinions and core functionings. Second would be an idea i funnily enough got from robert smith of the cure from a 1981 interview where he discussed how hes never had a job due to being in a band etc and how he thinks when you do get a job of any sort it turns your life into a financial survival situation and slowly shuts off the deeper parts of your personality as you assimilate into the working man/woman and how this results in people losing their good taste in things for things that are 'good enough' essentially, he does say he thinks its possible to avoid it but you have to try and break away from the monotony and mind sterilisation of work and work out your thoughts, opinions and ideas like you would your muscles. robert i think viewed as a leftist but ive never heard a bad take from him of any sort.
Absolutely. I've been mulling this over for a while as well after a needlecraft related discussion went wrong this Christmas, wronger than normal. I can't help but think that if I had given people a slow drip of word-crystallized information over time instead of doing it in person and all at once than the drama could have been avoided. We actually do have the better arguments logically, empirically, morally, and so we need not fear putting them in definite written form. Speaking in person, and especially with more than one person at a time, leaves too many doors open for BS to thrive. People can so easily just ride the waves of emotional association and use all sorts of human-all-too-human tactics to prop up their lack of knowledge, understanding, and good sense. On paper it's like "here is the statement" and "here is the second statement which anticipates common reactions" and "here is the granular analysis" and "here is the big picture" etc. etc. etc. And as you said, you can at a certain point know that you are correct, and I would add that it is way harder for others to deny.
@@neththom999 some people just dont listen, ive learned that the hard way. me abd and my dad were at my aunties for some occasion and covid came up (omicron variant) and my dad basically said its a bloody cold boohoo and the other half of the family called him a covid denier and just ignored the actual precedent of what he was saying, my dads quite abit less diplomatic but they were exactly the same with me so it shows people dont even want to rethink the facts they just want to uphold their moral superiority.
@@finlaymcdiarmid5832 It's not that free will doesn't exist. That's a very muddy reading of the situation. Free will exists, without question. The question concerning, or encircling, free will is this: do you have the courage to exercise it? Nothing more.
@@seanoneil277 im not empirically saying it doesnt exist im just saying people have much less of it than they'd like to know. not many things are black and white, absolute yes's or no's.
I've been saying this for years. Fiction un-harms people & makes them believe the problem is being solved just by thinking of & imagining the solution. If we can describe the matrix, that's what it is. We believe what we see.
