BLM FAILED. Martyrs are not messiahs, victims are not heroes: the ancient philosophy that ruined a revolution in our time.

With a title like that, who needs a synopsis? This one is only on Doomed Republic, a peculiar and profound contrast to other videos that have BLM in the title, found on my other podcasts / channels.

Multiculturalism means another dozen dark ages, all at the same time: ignorance and antisemitism instead of atheism.

"When you think about what culture is, it is the accumulation of past beliefs: it is the burden of ignorance we take on from our ancestors.  It is a set of authoritarian attitudes that the past is trying to impose upon the present and the future.  And we have to resist it all."

Many minutes later: "What are we talking about, when we talk about culture, if not a way for the dead to impose their will upon the living?"

This is PART TWO OF TWO.  Atheism opposes a single belief only, whereas nihilism opposes them all, dealing with the root causes (and fundamental defects) of belief as such; therefore, a nihilistic critique of multiculturalism is inevitable, as a nihilist cannot see a plurality of false beliefs as an improvement on just one --for all the same reasons that we would not see a country divided between many warring forms and factions of islam as superior to a country unified by just one (although that one and the many would be equally false).

Israel: in the midst of a war between Planet Las Vegas and Planet Saudi Arabia.

I have said this before in livestreams lasting many hours, but... 

if you'd like a brief "policy statement" on the subject, here it is.

Israel is not the perfect representative of "Planet Last Vegas", and Las Vegas, in turn, is not the perfect representative of democracy (or any other ideal).

In Las Vegas it is possible to be a nihilistic, dissident intellectual, even if the majority of the people surrounding you are religious maniacs. In Las Vegas, democracy is possible, even if the current government is a pseudo-democracy of the most despicable kind —and this mere potential is worth fighting for.

And the darkness of the dark ages is worth fighting against, under any pretext whatsoever. The vast majority of people who are, now, fighting for the future of democracy have no idea what it is they're fighting for.

I say again: Afghanistan would have been better off under Communist occupation than being ruled by the Taliban, and I am willing to say this openly although I am an anti-communist of the most extreme kind. America would have been better off supporting Communism in Afghanistan than supporting the Taliban (which is what the Americans did, in case you didn't know, while they supported the most horrendous forms of Communism in both Cambodia and Romania).

These are the contradictions of our century, these are the contradictions that beliefs everywhere conceal, and that nihilism lays bare.

To believe or to know. To conform or to rebel. To watch or to act. The choice is yours, just as it was with veganism and sobriety before.

Polyamory is discredited by its proponents, not its critics.

In a world without ideas, voices, declaring nothing, are never silent.

In a world without clothes, nudity is neither noticed nor ever absent, please allow me to add.

Part One. Veganism: the Future of an Illusion, "The Director's Cut".

(AR+IO-027) Based on a true story: originally a book, now a major motion picture… we bring you… Veganism: the Future of an Illusion… the Director's Cut… NOW WITH D.V.D. COMMENTARY!

Self-righteousness and semi-literacy in the 21st century.

My experience is that the vast majority of people (at any/all levels of formal education) cannot read political philosophy...

...nor can they even deal with the plain facts of science set out in lab reports on brain damage caused by (legal and illegal) drugs, efficacy or inefficacy, etc.

The belief in determinism (vs free will) is an especially instructive example, the supposed scientific benefits of Buddhist meditation, too, and both beliefs tend to overlap with 21st century Utilitarianism: people just become addicted to the feeling of their own (imagined) intellectual superiority over others, and when you put your finger on the text and explain, "this doesn't say what you think it says", they simply lash out in anger.

Sam Harris exploits his audience's appetite for this (emotional rather than rational) desire to feel intellectually superior, while failing to have basic reading comprehension of what the scientific sources say that he's vaguely alluding to, again and again.

"Video games increase intelligence: this study proves it."

And of course we've seen this mode of reasoning ten thousand times over with the invocation of "social science research" to vindicate everything from the handing out of leaflets on sidewalks to extremely violent protests branded as non-violent.

These people wear their ego like a blindfold, rather than using it as a washcloth to clean their glasses: the ego can let you see things more clearly —it need not blind you to the words right in front of you, on the desk.

Sex and the narrowing of the middle aged mind.

(AR+IO-026) Is it better to be hated for being honest about things nobody else is ever honest about, or because (through your very act of encouraging people to live "the life of the mind") you end up drawing them into a position of reflecting on the extent of their own self-hatred —and their squandered potential over the last five years (not to mention the next five years).  And in case you think the word "sex" appears in the title of this recording for no reason at all, please allow me to provide you with every possible trigger warning…
