This is a nice trip back to the birth of the American New Age:

Corruption IS the point! It's not a bug.

One of the most important insights in politics is to realize that the leaders in charge, even absolute kings, are not really free, they are slaves to the laws of power. A pure, good, loving, truthful ruler is impossible because he was only given the position by other powerful elites in order to serve their selfish needs. As soon as he starts acting for the greater good or truth, he will be booted or killed by the elites who gave him power and expect him to serve their biases. This is why good, truthful, loving men are never in highest power. The whole point of a ruler is to serve corrupt interests at the expense of the masses. The point is to milk the masses, to extract their labor value or rob public resources and move it into the pockets of the top 0.01% of the upper class. This is how all governments have always worked and most citizens are too ignorant to understand this, never mind change it.

Ironically and perversely, the very people who are being milked by this system support the system with a passion because their minds are as corrupt as the rulers. Which is why fools enthusiastically go out and vote for MAGA, thinking they're fighting corruption and elites. The whole system is so diabolically, intelligently yet unconsciously self-reinforcing. It's a circle-jerk of corruption from top to bottom. The rulers, the elites, and the ruled are all unconscious, forming a standing cyclone of corruption.

The only ones who see through it all are the sages, the true philosophers who did the work to reach Truth, Good, Love, and God. And if they speak up, they are demonized or killed, either by the rulers or by the ignorant mob. The true philosopher is the only one capable of seeing through all this corruption. Why? Because she is the only one of the bunch who genuinely loved truth, pursued truth, and realized God. Because corruption is just a lack of consciousness of God.

Notice that every powerful ruler and elite is a godless philosophical-pervert. Sure, they will mouth God's name, but not one of them has a clue what God is. And notice that the further disconnected they are from God, the greater perverts they are. That's because, pervertry just is a measure of your distance from God/Truth.

When you see this, as the philosopher, it's so crystal clear. The entire structure of society makes sense.

An example of how you can combine this work with creativity & art. High consciousness art is a wide-open field. Every artform benefits from Consciousness, Intelligence, Love, and Truth. God is an artist's best friend. If you are an artist, you need God-Realization. You don't even know the Beauty you're missing.

Energy (God) is beautiful:

5-MeO-DMT is like the 30,000W Tesla coil of spiritual work. Undeniable.

You want proof of energy? Stand next to a Tesla coil.
You want proof of God? 5-MeO-DMT.

I was asked the question: How would you respond to the Descartes evil demon argument?

The Descartes evil demon argument goes like this:

If we are doing truth-seeking, how can we ever know anything is true if there might be a very powerful evil demon manipulating our experience of reality outside our awareness? How can you claim God exists? If this evil demon has placed you into a fake, illusory external world, then your claim that God exists cannot be certain.

Here's the answer:

This line of skepticism makes a crucial ontological mistake. It assumes that an external reality can exist at all. As it turns out, an external reality is ontologically impossible. The only reality which is possible is one that exists. If a reality does not exist, then it cannot have any ability to affect anyone or deceive anyone. But existence IS Consciousness. Existence is self-luminous by virtue of being Absolute Truth. So, even if there was an evil demon who tried to deceive me, the only way he could do so is by creating a reality which exists. But any reality which exists is illuminated in my Consciousness, since Consciousness IS existence. This means that any reality whatsoever must be an "internal" reality. It is always visible to itself (me) simply by virtue of being True.

Notice how profound this is: if an evil demon is deceiving me, it must still be true that an evil demon is deceiving me. If it is not true, then there is no evil demon. An evil demon's existence requires Truth! And for his evil tricks to have any power whatsoever, it must be true that the tricks are real, since an unreal trick is not a trick at all!

A demon can create an illusion, but an illusion is still a real, existent thing! A mirage is not water, but the mirage still has existence as the appearance that it is. So a demon could fool me into thinking that a mirage is water when it isn't. But a demon cannot fool me about the existence of the mirage itself. It is absolutely true that a mirage exists, if it does. And if it doesn't, then it cannot fool me. Any illusion an evil demon creates must still absolutely exist. Even a fake copy of a genuine artwork still has existence. Even a hologram still has existence. Even an optical illusion still has existence. Even a lie still has existence. Even delusion has a kind of existence to it. So, the answer is that even if an evil demon has totally fooled me about the nature of objects in the world, he can never fool me that I exist, that I am conscious, that illusions appear to me, that existence is Absolute Truth, and that everything, including the evil demon, is God.

Notice that the evil demon still needs a medium through which to do his dirty work. That medium is the one and only medium there is: Consciousness. Consciousness can certainly be self-deceptive, it can fool itself, but it cannot ever disconnect from the fact that it is Consciousness. Consciousness cannot ever be anything other than Consciousness. This is what A=A means. A must equal A. This is Absolute. Even an evil demon, even God himself, cannot make A not equal to A. The evil demon is still bound by the absolute logic of existence. An evil demon cannot create things which do not exist. Anything an evil demon creates must have existence, just by the absoluteness of logic. And in this case logic is not just human thought or language, in this case logic is Reality itself.

There is absolutely no skeptical argument that can debunk God. Because God is existence and any kind of skepticism assumes and requires existence. If a skeptic is stupid enough to deny existence, then his own skepticism and he himself doesn't exist and has no effect. But of course, even this is impossible because existence cannot not exist. What the skeptic fails to grasp, because he lacks the necessary consciousness, is that existence is Absolute Truth. Existence is an ontological tautology.

You can be deluded about anything whatsoever in life, but you cannot not exist. Delusion requires existence. And as long as you exist, you must be God because God is existence. Therefore, absolute skepticism is self-deception.

Descartes answer to the evil demon doubt was exactly correct: I think, therefore I am.

I can have foolish thoughts, but even in order to have foolish thoughts, I must exist. You can say that all of Actualized.org is stupid bullshit. But you cannot deny that Actualized.org exists.

Even if Satan tries to scam you, his scam must still be a real scam. And even if his scam is fake, it must still be a real fake scam. This is what gives God dominion over Satan. Satan cannot avoid Realness. For Satan to have any power, he must be Real. But Reality is God. So Satan must be God. Reality is the only power and all of its power belongs absolutely to God. God's power is so absolute that even when Satan acts, it's actually God. There can be nothing outside of God because God has no outside, because God is Infinite. There is nothing external. Everything is internal to God. God's gaze is inescapable.

Such is the absolute logic of existence. This logic is unbeatable. You can't defeat God with logic, because logic is God.

It took me 39 years to realize that logic is Absolute.

There's a massive 30-hour long series of interviews of Nixon by Frank Gannon.

I started watching the whole thing. I'm 12 hours into this beast and it is blowing my mind. Nixon was so damned intelligent and mature, it's astonishing. Watching this made me really respect him, which I was not expecting. The bar has been set so low by today's political situation. We have regressed so much in intelligence.

There's too much content here — it goes through Nixon's entire life story — so I recommend you skip around to find the parts that interest you. His earliest life may not be of interest to you, but his rise to the top of American politics is an amazing story. I recommend starting like 20% into the whole series and go back earlier if you find it necessary. This is like reading a full biography. Take your time and enjoy it like a good story.

I tried to make a link to the full playlist but it's giving me an error. You can find the full playlist by going to YouTube and searching for "Frank Gannon's interview with Richard Nixon playlist". The playlist contains nearly 40 videos of 1 hour each. The channel name is: UGA Brown Media Archives.

Note: Please don't come at me with common leftist criticisms of Nixon. I've heard all that. There is something deeper here that leftists are missing. Just because I share these interviews does not mean I'm blind to the problems of the Nixon administration. It is important to be able to look at Nixon not through a leftist lens. There is power in seeing the world through Nixon's eyes. It's more powerful than just being a robotic leftist. As I've always said, I love me an intelligent conservative because they are so rare these days. Oh how far conservatives have fallen.

This is a great intro to social construction. It nicely steelmans and shows why it's important:

Notice how right-wingers and Christians love to present strawmanned or even demonized versions of social construction. They are incapable of presenting it properly because they are too threatened by it. This doesn't mean social construction doesn't have limits. It has serious limits which I have covered in my Post-Modernism series. But you first need to see the power of it before you trash it.

The key question here is: What important aspect of reality does social construction theory capture truthfully? What is social construction theory seeing about reality?

A right-winger is generally incapable of answering that question in a meaningful way because they are committed to defending a constellation of social constructs which they want to hold as objective reality. Social construction theory undermines the possibility of naive notions of objective reality.

Can you see why a Christian sees social construction theory as Satanic?
