The Bitter Truth - De Nieuwe Zuil

Check out this video, commenting on the war on dopamine and the corruption by the Chaos gods. Then read my analysis below.

It’s all nonsense.

– Write an academic paper on formal logic? It won’t do anything for you because it’s not woke, and if it gets published, you won’t even be aid for it. And those who do understand it, are not in a position to do anything for you, because again, woke and managers.

– Fleshy lusts. Ok, build your mind like a fortress, and it becomes impossible to relate to anyone, especially to women, who are all about “feeling the vibe”. Build wealth, and you will attract gold-diggers, who come for the material gains, not a connection of heart and spirit.

– And even if you are a fortress, you are up against forces beyond your comprehension. Millions of courageous people stood up against a totalitarian regime in Hong Kong, their outrage reached across the world, but now it is completely pacified, wiped from history. The victors rewriting history as we speak.

So no, dopamine does not come from an inability to face the void. It is exactly what one chooses after facing the void. Because the best one can do, is to enjoy another hour just laying down, leaving the stress of the world behind. It is a fully willed, fully conscientious decision.

Even if everyone heard this, nothing would change, as people already know this. I doubt the Internet would even let this circulate if it could truly ripple a disruptive effect. The mechanisms that define our culture are less and less the work of consciously willing agents – some algorithm decides what is reproduced, what you get to see. What you are up against is both global and technologically impenetrable – good luck willing an alternative infrastructure of information into existence.

And I write this in a week where I literally did produce a paper on formal logic, and where I went to kickboxing training three times, and yet, the utter futility of the paper dawned on me as I was producing it. Not because of the content of the paper, but because of the world it would bounce off from. And the way that it is structured.

While going out, with people around me dancing, drinking, I realised more than ever, how hard it becomes to relate to people. The overwhelming superficiality in the souls of others makes genuine connection more difficult. Even though some conversations were interested, warm and friendly, I could not shake off the overwhelming sadness of this world in the midst of the blaring entertainment.

Going back to the technocracy: if we comply with it passively, it becomes stronger, as what was absurd just several years ago, is more fully normalized through outward conformity. If we resist it actively, the system will say that there are ‘dangerous extremists’ who ’threaten everyone’s safety’. And the technocrat power will give itself even more power, as a consequence.

So this system we live under, become ever more intrusive with every step we take, and every step we don’t take. At this point, the best one can do, is probably lounging against the machine. Don’t produce anything that the system can feed off on. Lay down, rest, take life one day at a time. Read, watch some videos, play video games, go out for dinner, do sports, most importantly: entertain yourself and try to relax.

I also realize I am becoming a polar bear. I am a writer who lays down the cold hard facts in a world that spirals out of control into nothing of substance. The polar bear needs his sheet of ice, but it is melting. But just as the polar bear cannot do anything else because it is, at the end of the day, a polar bear, the writer cannot do anything else than to write, to document, to chronicle.

If you cared about this, support my crowdfunding for my Romanian book – because against my better judgement, just because it is who I am, I still produce. Thank you, and God bless.
