  The Internet is Driving us Crazy

  Jul 3, 202651 minS0

  <p>I declared independence from society 3 years ago, stopped consuming modern media, and started noticing staggering differences. We're all addicted to screens without realizing it—unable to form memories, develop identity, or create real relationships. This isn't just isolation; it's soul death. Zoomers can't date, mate, or mature because we've eliminated every social script for becoming human. This is the wound before I show you the medicine.</p> <p>LINKS:</p> <p>Play world of warships today by using the promo code "USA250" https://wo.ws/4aG1idy You can also buy their book here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mo...

  things are very bad now....

  Apr 22, 202653 minS0

  <p>My civil war prediction was RIGHT—both sides now openly discuss violence, leftists advocate murdering opponents, and every historic indicator points to collapse. But we haven't erupted because something VASTLY WORSE is happening: Mouse Utopia. Screen addiction, complete authority failure, and total societal atomization mean people are too drugged and disconnected to organize conflict. We've entered the behavioral sink's final phase—right before mass violence begins. The missing variable makes everything infinitely more terrifying.</p> <p>--</p> <p>LINKS:</p> <p>Link to my second podcast on world history and interviews:    / @history102-qg5oj   Link to my Twitter-https://twitter.co...

  The Ten Great Macro-Cultures

  Apr 21, 20261h 10mS0

  <p>At 18, hiking the Appalachian Trail, I mapped humanity's cultural origins—discovering nearly ALL world cultures stem from just 10 historic events. These shared formative moments continue shaping nations' motivations and borders today. From Greater India's peaceful diffusion to the Germanic Völkerwanderung, from Arab Caliphates to the British diaspora—this anthropological framework reveals how historic sparks created cultural viruses spreading across entire regions, forming the macro-ethnicities dominating Earth today.</p> <p>--</p> <p>SPONSOR:</p> <p>Start using Polymarket today to bet on the future.

  Is the Woke Right Real?

  Mar 10, 202651 minS0

  <p>James Lindsay's "woke right" concept claims far-right ideology loops back to radical leftism—collectivism, racialized worldviews, totalitarianism. After witnessing unprecedented right-wing radicalization since COVID (topics once completely taboo now normalized), I investigate whether this threat is genuine or overblown. As someone inside digital right circles who's shifted from being called "right-wing nutjob" to "Jew lover" and "white traitor," I explore whether conservatism's ideological pregnancy will birth freedom or just another tyranny.</p> <p>--</p> <p>Start resisting financial tyranny with Zcash or Zashi wallet today: https://z.cash or for Apple store https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zo...
