Yes I realize this is a troubling video, and yes I realize statements such as these offend people. But the arguments are rather shocking in their lucidity. I am aware this implies conclusions which are starkly unthinkable at some level – but if there is any merit to this representation of facts and insights and…

Sometimes I feel the need to call something for which there is no word, and label the concept. Today’s neologism is the word Iyudrae, and it stands for something distinct. Try following me as I describe the concept. In any process where sentient constituents of a collective (i.e. people) are in a process of voluntary…

I use a variant on that, which I would label the K model or K rozette. I take some inspiration from the de Bono thinking hats clearly (sighs…

I am sorry but that’s just what it is. The president who may have pushed western civilization into irreversible decline and collapse.

I confess, I was a bit overly smitten with the Zeitgeist movement a while ago, but I have become disillusioned with them – I met them and they are so grass-roots they qualify as a garden variety weed.
