If you don't believe in psychological operations, you'd best get believing...because you're in one.

A lot of RW thinkers claim that what we're up against is gnosticism: LW nuts view themselves as souls trapped in a meat-prison & resent having to participate in painful reality. I thought that was overstated, but this thread you & Isaiah are developing makes me think it all fits.
Finished the secular based series on gnosticism today and I feel I have a much more clear understanding of the religious aspect of progressivism now.
If all the writing collabs I've ever done These guys were the most professional, with the least ego, and 0 friction.
I have to say that life is weird. @corTheory is coming up on its one year anniversary. The idea is about 14 months old. I've connected with and published 3 PhDs (the good kind), multiple articles from some of the smartest schooled and autodidactic people, and now I have a…
Proud of you!

Back in the 80s, when fast food, packaged food, and junk food had 3 or 4 natural ingredients, we still only had it one or twice a month because even then, we knew it was bad for us. Now it's loaded with enough chemicals to kill a horse, and we have adults getting most of their…
So far the main takeaway that I have really understood is that gnostics are like the original conspiracy theorists. Obsessed with secret knowledge but it seems they just sort of invent stuff along the way or borrow it elsewhere when the narrative falls apart.
I'm part three into a secular based series on gnosticism and the concept of the demiurge. It's super complicated stuff.

Don't kid yourself, all the posting we do on social media is part of it. We're all being studied. Our reactions, our attention, our focus...it's all being fed into an information gathering machine used to manipulate us. Left or right doesn't matter.
My mini essay on the non-spiritual reasons that drew me to Grace Fellowship Church in Chilliwack: Over the past decade I have watched the atheistic, left-wing secular society in which I grew up engage in bizarre campaigns of harassment, blacklisting and even violence in support…
There is a type of Liberal voter whos heart is filled with joy when they see a random person murdered by a multiply sentenced criminal on bail. At least there must be, since they keep voting for it.

Don’t ever be a “man of the people”. People are stupid and will choose consensus over truth. Be a man of principle, even when it’s unpopular. Seek truth, not approval, popularity, or consensus. Being right is more important than being liked. Plant your feet. Stand tall. Say…
People may not build statues to moloch anymore, they build systems and systems demand sacrifices. Time, health, ethics, innocence, etc... sacrificed to institutions. These systems don't just allow for suffering, they require it. Someone has to suffer to keep the world running
How much more taxes would you be willing to pay to keep your local colleges going?
Ontario colleges have cut or suspended 600 programs and laid off 10,000 staff in the past year—one of the largest mass layoffs in the province’s history. Chronic underfunding has pushed the system to the brink. The government must act now to protect our economy. #onpoli
Emergency plane landing, person shot downtown, arson at a commercial building, pepper spray assault, and someone struck in the head with a bat 22 times. Regina is craaaazy tonight.
