Unable to Write is “Bad”

Yes. Vox and (the other) Paul Graham make some interesting observations about Artificial Idiocy and the real thing.

“I’m usually reluctant to make predictions about technology, but I feel fairly confident about this one: in a couple decades there won’t be many people who can write,” Graham said.

It’s common for skills to disappear as technologies replace them; after all, “there aren’t many blacksmiths left, and it doesn’t seem to be a problem,” he admitted. But people being unable to write is “bad,” he insisted.

“A world divided into writes and write-nots is more dangerous than it sounds. It will be a world of thinks and think-nots,” Graham believes.

We already live in a world that is mostly inhabited by think-nots. Hence MPAI. And there is no reason to fear AI writing, since very few writers produce anything worth reading anyhow. Between Twitter and Facebook, we know that all the erudite theories about “unlocking human potential” were groundless fantasies, since we have conclusive evidence that most people have absolutely nothing to say.

I did a trial test of one AI program and found it so unremarkable that I haven’t mentioned it or thought about it since. So in a way, it is like the ordinary moron, I suppose.

Speaking of writing, things have been a tad light here and with columns for a few reasons. High among them is an onslaught of new fiction! More, later.

PS: Happy Guy Fawkes day!

The Collapsing Empire

A few items that illustrate the fall.

Dmitry Medvedev continues to notice.

Washington and its allies accuse the members of those groups of “violating the rules-based order,” but, at same time, cannot explain what this order is,” he said.

“I have carefully picked through the legal text and studied it: it is incomprehensible. It is not clear what the order is and who approved it. It is really just an idea of the US and its allies, while mostly in NATO, of how best to do business in the world,” the former president stressed.

According to Medvedev, the rules-based order is actually what the West believes “is right,” adding that “once you are out of this order, you’re a perpetrator.”

The uni-polar world that the US is trying to preserve is “always prone to war and unfortunately results in conflicts,” he said. Meanwhile, the multi-polar system that Russia and other BRICS members are working to build “implies making a connection between different poles” and creating “a world in balance [that] is always relatively stable,” he explained.

See his interview with RT.

Elsewhere, even Carlos Slim’s Blog has to adjust the narrative to fit reality in re Ukraine. Adding to the chaos, the GAE discovers that more and more people don’t care about the “rules-based” coercion.

In Mordor, Matt Miller and Co. are having a hard time explaining the media genocide within the Palestinian genocide. Also in West Asia, a couple of ancient B-52 Stratotargets won’t help when Iran delivers the promised “teeth-breaking” response to the last unlawful attacks.

But I’m sure Kamala Trump has already covered all of this to the satisfaction of the ‘Murikan collective brain trust.

PS: Daylight Savings Time has ended. I think it has ended for me permanently. Come spring, I’ll leave the fake farmers and bird watchers to do their clock thing.

Clearly Identifiable Patterns of Violence

Tags

, ,

Happy All Saints Day. One Saint, Michael the Archangel is needed rather urgently in Palestine and surrounding areas due to the yankee-zionist genocide in progress. The situation is so dire that even the UN, as useless a body as ever devised, sees a massive problem. Please read their new Report on the Gazacaust.

While the scale and nature of the ongoing Israeli assault against the Palestinians
vary by area, the totality of the Israeli acts of destruction directed against the totality of the Palestinian people, with the aim of conquering the totality of the land of Palestine, is clearly identifiable. Patterns of violence against the group as a whole warrant the application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Genocide Convention) in order to cease, prevent and punish genocide in the whole of the occupied Palestinian territory.

At this point, the only people on earth who don’t see what’s happening are Satanyahu and Co., the US political trash, US media, and the retarded heathen ‘Murican people.

There will be no column or essay this week.

Fruits of Kazan

Leonid Savin wrote a few excellent words about the recent BRICSening in Kazan.

The current meeting of the informal association of ten countries has become a breakthrough in many ways. The year of Russia’s presidency in this club, despite the attempts of the collective West to win over the countries of the Global South and the massive information war, has shown significant interest in full-fledged participation in this structure. 35 countries have already asked to be admitted to BRICS as full participants. In total, representatives of 36 states arrived at BRICS Summit in Kazan, of which 22 countries were represented directly by their leaders, as well as representatives of six international organizations, where special attention was paid by the world media to the appearance of the UN Secretary General. The reports of the chairmen of the New Development Bank, the Business Council, the Interbank Cooperation Mechanism, the Women’s Business Alliance were heard, bilateral meetings of the leaders of the countries were held, as well as BRICS Plus/Outreach plenary session with the participation of the leaders of the CIS countries, delegations from many countries of Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America, heads of executive bodies of a number of international organizations.

13 countries at the summit have already received the status of a BRICS partner country. These are Turkey, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Uganda and Vietnam. As you can see, the size of the country and the state of their economies do not depend on the decision on such a status.

After the meeting between Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping (it is necessary to single out Russia and China as close partners within BRICS, who also actively oppose the hegemony of the United States), the Russian President noted that Russian–Chinese relations have become a model of how relations between states should be built in the modern world; cooperation between the two countries is one of the main stabilizing factors on the world stage. “We intend to further enhance coordination on all multilateral platforms in order to ensure global security and a just world order,“ and that “over the years of our joint work, the authority and influence of BRICS has increased.“

Read the whole thing, it’s the beginning of a new world. Putin also had a little meeting with Xi and Modi of Indian. The result is the beginning of the end of long-simmering border disputes between China and India. The decisions made last week in Russia are already being implemented.

China and India recently reached resolutions on relevant issues concerning the border. At the moment, the Chinese and Indian frontier troops are implementing the resolutions in an orderly way, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said at a press conference on Wednesday in response to a question regarding reports that China and India may complete the disengagement process in border area today.

Lin said at a press conference on October 22 that over a recent period of time, China and India have reached resolutions on issues concerning the border area following close communication through diplomatic and military channels. China commends the progress made and will continue working with India for the sound implementation of these resolutions, he said.

India Today reported on Wednesday that Indian and Chinese military commanders are scheduled to meet at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Depsang and Demchok (known as Tiannan River Valley and Dianjiao village in China) to confirm the removal of temporary structures and vehicles in the region.

This is just a hint of the things that can be accomplished with relative ease so long as idiotic satanists aren’t allowed to participate of dictate “rules-based” terms. Congrats, Sovereign World!

Also, Happy All Saint’s Eve!

The Russian Idea Has Arrived

Tags

,

The differences between the dying US and the roaring Russian Federation couldn’t be starker. Even as it collapses, the ‘Murikan nightmare ever seeks out deeper stupidities and depravities. And even as it thunders ahead into prosperity and righteousness, the Russian spirit ever seeks further refinement. Professor Dugin wrote a few thoughts about the recent Tsargrad Congress.

The time of compromises and half-measures is over. The choices made now will have irreversible consequences. The Gospel speaks of workers of the last hour; they joined the work later than the rest but did indeed join it. And they were promised a share in the Kingdom of Heaven. After this last hour, however, it will truly be too late.

This is the last hour of the Russian Cause. It is time to make our final pledge to the Motherland, Faith, State, and People. Yes, since the 1980s, betrayal has become a social, ideological, and psychological norm. Everyone was out for themselves. But that time has passed.

Now is a different time. It is not only non-liberal; it is incompatible with technocracy. It is a time of an idea. The Russian Idea. It has finally arrived.

One suspects the auspicious Russian jumpstart of the past few years is only the beginning. Боже, благослови Россию!

Christians Should Not Celebrate This Holiday

, , ,

Russians and the Russian Orthodox Church fully understand what lies behind Halloween, the holiday that far too many ‘Murikans take for granted innocent fun. [Translated]:

If you are going to celebrate Halloween at work, you can declare your protest or simply ignore this event, said the Priest, rector of the temple in honor of the Seven-shot Icon of the Virgin Elijah Savastyanov, in an interview with LIFE.ru. According to him, it depends on the relationship in the team.

In fact, you can react to Halloween celebrations, costume parties in two ways: either decisively declare your protest, or calmly ignore it. It is necessary to choose depending on the relationship in the team, as well as the degree of imposition, — explained the Priest.

The Priest noted that Christians should not celebrate this holiday. Believers must explain to the rest the essence of Halloween. Instead, you can gather for a quiz, quest, or just arrange gatherings. If you want to have a costume party, you can choose a different topic, Savastyanov added.

Earlier, Elena Drapeko, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Culture, said that no need import substitution of Halloween or rename it, because you just need to ban this holiday. She noted. that this holiday is a propaganda of dark forces. The deputy added that there are no options for how this holiday could be converted into a domestic format.

In too many ways, Halloween is or has become the most ‘Murikan holiday of them all. It won’t be banned, or even shunned by many ‘Muricans, until the US has completely dissolved. God Bless Russia for leading the way against demonic forces, whether of military and economic import, or of frivolous revelry. Protest or ignore, but do not celebrate.

Coloring the Whole Project

My friend Walt Garlington wrote an essay on the evils of Amerikan exceptionalism so powerful I was tempted to post the whole thing. Please read it all. Here, I just give his proper and correct takes on TJ and the death cult of anti-traditional, anti-Christian ‘Murika.

An examination of the key text of Americanism, the Declaration of Independence (1776), confirms this, especially the second paragraph, so rich in the defining theological content of Americanism. The first claim tries to strike a mortal blow against hierarchy of any kind: ‘We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal’. This is not simply an attack on established orders in society, but on a hierarchy of knowledge and/or wisdom. Typically, traditional cultures have taught that insight is acquired with an increase in virtue. Americanism rejects even this, stating baldly that the understanding of a young, undisciplined student is equal to that of a holy ascetic elder in the matter of political philosophy (because Truth is self-evident, requiring no effort to perceive it).

Yet the believers in the cult of Americanism believe all these inversions and corruptions are good and praiseworthy, the apogee of mankind’s political development over the centuries. They base this on a misreading of the Holy Scriptures, viewing the people of Israel in the Old Testament prior to the establishment of an overt kingdom as a sort of model republic of officials chosen by ‘the people’, and the US as a continuation and perfection of that form of government. William Federer is typical of these people. He quotes approvingly from a talk given by Harvard President Samuel Langdon on 31 May 1775: ‘The only form of government which had a proper claim to a divine establishment, was so far from including the idea of a king, that it was a high crime for ISRAEL to ask to be in this respect like other nations; and when they were thus gratified, it was rather as a just punishment’ (Who Is the King in America?, e-book version, Amerisearch, 2018, p. 128).

But Mr Federer defeats himself in his own book by quoting Deuteronomy 1:13 in support of his thesis: ‘TAKE YOU wise men, and understanding, and KNOWN AMONG YOUR TRIBES, and I will make them rulers over you’ (p. 122). He neglects to see that it is the Holy Prophet Moses who makes the selected men rulers in the final instance, not the tribesmen themselves. Thus, as Dr Vladimir Moss of England has pointed out in his writings, the period prior to the Israelite kingdom in the Old Testament was simply an inchoate monarchy, with Moses and Aaron the high priest foreshadowing both the Davidic kings and Levitical priesthood in the kingdom of Israel as well as the Christian king and bishop/patriarch in the Orthodox countries of the world that would fulfil the type seen dimly in Moses, the judges, etc.

Mr Federer is nevertheless undeterred in pressing his case, using a quote from Justice John Jay (8 Sept. 1777) to present his ideal government: ‘You will know no power but such as you will create; no authority unless derived from your grant; no laws but such as acquire all their obligation from your consent’ (pgs. 132, 133).

This is Promethean, satanic. And it is all the worse when one considers that the ‘God’ of the Declaration is quite literally a creation of Thomas Jefferson (the author of the Declaration and an opponent of traditional beliefs about the Lord Jesus Christ), which does not belong to any religion in the world and whose sole function seems to be providing psychic cover and comfort to the American exceptionalists for whatever deed (be it good or evil) they embark upon.

This satanic/Promethean spirit unfortunately colors the whole project of Americanism. All traditional countries are therefore at risk while this ideology, this heretical cult, is embraced, consciously or unconsciously, by the greater number of the peoples in the United States: A guilty, unrepentant conscience will always seek to be rid of that which pricks it, that which reminds it that it is doing wrong. The US will continue to go round the world destroying hierarchical societies until the States renounce the evils of the Declaration of Independence and themselves return to a normative arrangement based on a hierarchy with a divine origin and blessing.

Read the whole thing. Then pray for either the Conversion of the American people, the complete end of the Freemason’s US project, or both.

COLUMN: Sinwar’s Stick

Sinwar’s Stick

 

On October 17, 2024, Palestinian political leader Yahya Sinwar sat alone in an armchair inside an apartment in Gaza. He wasn’t resting; rather, he was wounded and probably already dying from his injuries. His gruesome trauma was the result of an IGF (“Israeli” Genocide Force) missile strike, one small, singular act in the larger Yankee-enabled Zionist genocide against Arabs and non-Jews in the Levant. In short order, he was murdered by a rifle shot to his head. But a few of his final seconds were captured on video. Taking advantage of a gaping hole in the building’s wall, an IGF drone flew inside the structure to survey the damage. Sinwar was seated, facing away from the flying camera. He then looked up and over his shoulder at the drone. One can only imagine what was going through his mind at the moment. Undaunted, he slowly raised a stick in his left hand. And in an act of terminal defiance, he hurled the stick at the tormenting drone.

The IGF idiotically released the video. One reason was certainly to demonstrate they had found and killed a chief enemy and a stumbling block in their plan to conquer an area from Benghazi to Basra. There might have been a callous tactical logic behind that motivation. However, the other reason ran along demented Talmudic lines: they wanted to mock Sinwar, all he stood for, and those he defended. The release of the video backfired in a manner beyond the mere spectacular.

Instead of denigrating Sinwar, the IGF foolishly raised him up as a Martyr in the eyes of Palestinians, Arabs, and so many other peoples. Beyond that, the Zionists ensured he became an instant legend. If he is honest, and if he honestly contemplates the unpleasant hypotheticality of such a life’s ending, then I know of no man who would not wish, at some level, to go out as Sinwar did. In colloquial terms, and please pardon my Arabic, it was about the most badass sumud thing I’ve ever seen. 

The martyrdom and legend have already sparked a new proverb or maxim: Sinwar’s Stick.

(Dr. Marwa Osman, Telegram.)

(Dr. Osman.)

This new proverbial definition is strikingly similar to the central concept outlined on page 54 of Eschatological Optimism by the late Daria Dugina: 

…eschatological optimism is the consciousness and recognition that the material world, the given world which we presently take to be pure reality, is illusory: it is an illusion that is about to dissipate and end. We are extremely, sharply conscious of its finitude. But, at the same time, we maintain a certain optimism; we do not put up with it, we talk about the need to overcome it.

Talk about it. Or throw a stick at it. It’s the same thing as long as the defiance and resistance stubbornly endure until the end. Of course, for those of Faith, it is not at all the end, only the beginning of a new and better phase. 

While some might be unable for various reasons, many people are capable of throwing Sinwar’s Stick at their problems. This month, the civilized world convened in Kazan for the 2024 BRICS+ summit. The meeting’s primary purpose was to keep furthering the sovereign alternative to US and Western economic dominance. It’s not a perfect analogy, but Russia, China, et al threw Sinwar’s Stick at centuries of Western global hegemony. They’ve been in the throwing process for nearly two decades, though now it is patently obvious the stick is hitting home and hitting it hard. So it will eventually be with the Resistance to Zio-Yankee terror and death, the horrors that Yahya Sinwar gave his life to resist, repel, and defeat. 

If we’re given the time, then in a thousand or so years, long after “Israel” and the Satanic States have been forgotten and relegated to obscure occult historical studies programs, Gaza’s new phrase will quite possibly live on and enjoy daily or periodic usage. Let’s help get that future historical process rolling. Today, with this column, not knowing exactly what to address, I simply threw Sinwar’s Stick at it. See? Now you try it.

Salute to the valiant fallen, and,

Deo vindice.

Udo’s Warning

Tags

, ,

Here’s yet another example of Gekaufte Journalisten as warned of by the late Udo Ulfkotte.

Ravid has made a name for himself by uncritically printing flattering information given to him by either the U.S. or Israeli government and passing it off as a scoop. In April, he wrote that “President Biden laid out an ultimatum to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in their call on Thursday: If Israel doesn’t change course in Gaza, ‘we won’t be able to support you,’” and that he was “making his strongest push for an end to the fighting in Gaza in six months of war, and warning for the first time that U.S. policy on the war will depend on Israel’s adherence to his demands,” which included “an immediate ceasefire.” In July, he repeated anonymous sources that told him that Netanyahu and Israel are striving for “a diplomatic solution” – another highly dubious claim.

Read the whole thing. It’s bad enough when the intelligence services of a country mislead the people of that country. But it’s a whole different level when the propaganda crosses borders. Like most other institutions, Western and Amerikan media outlets have been completely and utterly compromised. It would be ever so nice if ‘Murikans would finally wake up and notice.
