Mini-brains are being grown to be used as microprocessors

Posted on      by     

Ah the latest in technological abomination is upon us: “organoids”, or mini human brains grown in labs and hooked up to wires to provide the most advanced microprocessing power currently available. These brains even grow quasi eyeballs that can perceive light. We were not meant to wield this power, but we can, and so we do. Morality be damned, apparently. And this really begs the question: are we all just organoids on a petri dish in some lab? Are we living in a society of organoids who are themselves developing organoid technology in a simulated reality? It’s too disturbing to contemplate for long. A version of the Matrix where we’re enslaved, not by machines, but by other humans, which is a far more likely scenario, given what we are as a species.

 

Why aren’t knives marketed to women as the ideal self-defense weapon?

Posted on      by     

The knife vs gun debate, demystified. Knife use is instinctual, grip it and swing it to stop an attacker. It never runs out of ammo, and causes far more harm than a gun, which is why I’m at a loss as to why knives aren’t marketed to women more often as effective self-defense tools. A small woman could make mince-meat out of an attacker far more easily than they could if they had to draw their weapon and chamber a round. Counterintuitively, a knife becomes an even better weapon in the panic of the moment. A frightened woman swinging and stabbing wildly with a knife would take out almost anyone. A gun, in the panic of the moment, becomes almost nothing more than an expensive hunk of steel. A knuckle knife is pretty much impossible to drop, making the wielder extremely dangerous.

When Churchill murdered 1,300 French sailors

Posted on      by     

World War 2 remains shrouded in ignorance, and none more so than the actions of Winston Churchill during that time. On July 3, 1940, Churchill ordered the bombing on the French navy at Mers el-Kebir, on the coast of Algeria. Churchill feared that the fleet would fall into the hands of Hitler and then used against Britain, so he took preemptive action by firing upon the French navy, killing 1,300 sailors in the process. The action was dubbed Operation Catapult, and has been lost to the public mind, aside from France, where resentment festered for years afterward. The War is nowhere near the black-and-white battle of good vs evil that we’ve been told.

 

Is it illegal for foreign governments to fund media in the US?

Posted on      by     

The big news in the X-osphere is that Tenet Media, owned by Lauren Chen, has allegedly been paid $10 million to produce four livestreams per week. Tenet employs multiple “conservative influencers” who express disparate opinions regarding current political events, but they don’t seem to have ever adhered to a single scripted talking point, even quarreling amongst themselves over issues like Israel. Chen herself has been a fierce critic of Israeli influence on our political process, and critical of Trump, and many are pointing to these two opinions of her as a damning indictment. But is it? Foreign money floods our public intellectual class year upon year, but now we’re supposed to be outraged that Russia is funding a media outlet that doesn’t appear to be beholden in any perceivable way to Russian interests, aside from criticism of the Ukraine war, and an opposition to war with Russia, which is something that almost every single commentator not affiliated with Tenet has expressed. Our corporate press is funded by the pharmaceutical industry as well as pro-Israel organizations who assuredly get their money from the Zionist state. Ukraine is using American tax billions to fund pro-Ukrainian talking points. If one is a crime, then so are the others. But what is the crime here? This is how the media has always functioned.

Will the human race kick the 5G opiate?

Posted on      by     

We moderns are totally alienated from the human experience is ways we can’t fully comprehend. The commercialization of technology has turned into endless gadgets of convenience, and we’ve developed a mind-crippling addiction to the myriad, cheap drugs of convenience. Every year a new gadget emerges to great fanfare, a new app, a new car equipped agency-destroying features. Why are we attracted to these things, and what are they silently replacing in our lives that makes our lives duller, and why do we feel an inescapable sense of ennui, a sense of doom about the future?  The answer is that, in exchange for this narcotic convenience, we’ve forfeited the very thing that makes us human. Are we better off now that 5G towers pepper our cities and rural communities? Has it really brought abundance and happiness the way it was promised? Prices are going up, virtually every community center has closed up shop, and we are left to our hi-speed connections, our unlimited data, the false god that we’ve demanded for decades and who has now arrived. Most people have no idea what is wrong with the world, why everything seems cheaper, why the world of our childhood is gone. The truth is that we’ve allowed it to wilt and die, because we were too preoccupied with the birth of the technological god. We’re more connected than ever, and yet real connection is almost dead. Everyone appears to long for the past, rather than anticipate with excitement the future. This is a disastrous predicament. Through technological advancement we are steadily being re-barbarized. Where can it go from here, other than a further descent? Every in-person institution is being replaced by virtual spaces. The screen is within arms reach from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep. An entire generation is being raised and trained to use this technology, nipping in the bud our humanity before it ever begins to blossom. Boredom, that stern molder of character and the spirit, is almost totally dead, because once we feel its uncomfortable sting, we reach for a screen. What kind of individual is created who never feels boredom? What happens to society when millions come of age who have never suffered and developed under it? Almost every young person I see today holds the screen perpetually in their hands, while walking, while driving, in restaurants, movie theaters, while out with friends who also cling to their digital drug, staring at their phone rather than at the people and places that they interact with. How could we ever free ourselves from this prison of convenience, the most dangerous drug we’ve ever developed, except when it is universally seen as the dangerous opiate that it really is? We were not meant to have instant access to the most depraved content imaginable, and yet parents slap phones in their kids’ hands as soon as they’re able to walk. And so they’re frozen in time, with no development possible, no growth of the spirit as they move to adulthood, dimly wondering about the world, but never fully investigating its mysteries because distraction has become a way of life for them. We the human race are cursed, and every new generation will inherit the curse in increasingly potent form. What is the answer to this, what is the way out? Where is the path to an awakening to this danger, and how could we ever reverse course when our economy and social structure is altering itself totally to accommodate this omnipresent drug of convenience? Remove the drug totally and everything would return to a natural order within one generation, but how to even begin? Do we pray for an apocalyptic solar flare to wipe out servers? We’d build it all back again, assuredly. Or are we too far gone to make even the feeblest of movements towards removing this entrenched “progress”? We must reevaluate progress itself, because it has shown itself to be a harvest thorns.

The Mexican government must be treated as hostile

Posted on      by     

Mexico is actively aiding and abetting the endless wave of undocumented immigrants, bussing them to our border and assisting them in other nefarious ways. And yet the foreign leaders responsible for this are not being treated as enemies of the United States. Why?
