Yoel Harari was widely criticized when he gave this quote: “The biggest question may be in economics and politics of the coming decades will be what to do with all these useless people. The problem would be boredom and how, what to do with them and how will they find some sense of meaning in life when they are basically meaningless, worthless. My best guess at present is a combination of drugs and computer games as a solution for more… it’s already happening under different titles, and different headings, you see many more people spending more and more time or solving the inner problems with the drugs and computer games, both legal drugs and illegal drugs.”

However this is a case of shooting the messenger, Harari is right. A couple hundred years ago most people worked in agriculture, a hundred years ago about a quarter of the population worked in manufacturing. Now last I checked about one percent of the population works in agriculture and about 5 percent works in manufacturing.  80 percent of all jobs are service related. Simply put we have become so efficient we longer have to work to meet our needs.

When I went through school it was so demoralizing that just about all the work we were given was busy work, dumb useless tasks that were designed simply to waste out time so that we wouldn’t go out and have fun causing mischief while our parents were at work. I was shocked to find out, much to my chagrin, that my idealization of the private sector as an Ayn Rand ecology of cutthroat profiteers was simple fantasy.  The private sector is much more similar to public school than any other institution, and work has essentially become adult daycare, with the exception of a few people in every organization who carry the company. In David Graeber’s book: “Bullshit Jobs,” which I have not read, he lays out a study that shows that about half of all workers believe their job is pointless and could be eliminated without causing any problems. Well I am of the opinion that of the 50% who think their jobs are meaningful, half of those people are delusional. It’s not just that a job is meaningful or not plenty of people have meaningful jobs where most of their time is taken up by trivial tasks. All in all if I were to guess I would say that no more than 15 percent of work in the modern economy has a productive use.

Which brings us around to the sad fact that we have so many “useless” people. I wouldn’t call them useless, isn’t the purpose of work to provide the means for life? Living, existing, for work is putting the cart before the horse isn’t it? If one can have the means to live without work then I don’t think that is necessarily bad if they can find a good use for their time. Which brings me to the point: We have a problem that our technology has outstripped our society and we have billions of people with too much time on their hands so to speak. Because a Jew like Harari is a technocrat communist he can only think in terms of a mechanical man and his solutions will always be to denigrate man till he is ground up and consumed under the weight of sloth and drugs.

In this new economy: 4^th industrial revolution, Duginism, Klaus Schwab, whatever you want to call it is society those with intelligence and ambition waste away swimming against the current of never ending debt, job instability, and endless schooling only to find when they have achieved their goal of being stable enough to raise a family in comfort the ability to do so has by and large passed them by, either through time or mental damage.  It seems that by and large it is the degenerates, low IQ, and those with poor impulse control are the ones primarily reproducing. It's Ironic that all the evolutionists have been inevitably led to embrace such a dysgenic program. One wonders how long a society can maintain its technological progress when it has embraced a program of Indiafication. Sooner than later things are going to break down.

 

Speaking of low IQ degenerates one thing that always cracks me up is when I hear women talk about how they want to be treated like a princess. Usually what this means is that they want a man who will lavish them with attention and gifts because of some inherent quality the possess. While that’s laudable in a romantic sense its gone way too far as something that is a requirement for relationships.

A Princess would be a virgin who was married off at 16, usually to a complete stranger, so that her father could make a political alliance. She was expected to be fiercely loyal to her new husband, to bear and raise him male heirs. While he was on campaign she was expected to manage the court in his absence. If he were to go to war with her father’s family, which due to the fickle and factious nature of medieval politics happened all too often, she was expected to do everything she could to support him. A princess was expected to be seen by the people and to preform public acts of charity, to meet and hear petitions, and to be looked up to as an icon, and as a moral example by the people.

In short the idea that someone should just be lavished with gifts and praise for nothing in return is a delusional idea that has never existed in human history, not even for royalty, and is a mark of how mentally ill we have become.

 

Speaking of mental illness too many “troothers” suffer from schizoid thinking. Schizoid thinking is the classical problem that logic is only as sound as its premise. Schizophrenics can be very logical people however the problem with the disease is that there is something wrong with their brains which does not allow them to properly judge the weight of a set of facts. So for instance a Schizophrenic may say: UFO’s fly, they have lights and try to abduct people, every night I see lights outside the window of my second story bedroom between the hours of 12 and 3 in the morning, therefore aliens have been trying to abduct me from my bedroom every night for the last month.

While this is both logical and perfectly crazy it is also the exact same type of thinking and “proof” far to many throothers proffer for their crazy theories. In short they offer little more than tangential facts when strung together haphazardly can logically lead to any conclusion they want. Discernment is key.

 

Bubbles can last for hundreds of years. The stock market is a bubble. That statement isn’t what you think it is. Let me explain. Money is meant to be spent, the purpose of the stock market when it was created was to allow for companies to sell off ownership to raise capital for investing back into the company. Once an IPO is completed there is no more capital investment in the company. Stocks go up in value because more money keeps getting pumped into the market without serving any useful purpose. In fact most of the money is just there because it needs somewhere to be parked, it will never serve a purpose. It's the biggest root cause why we have so much wealth inequality, rich people are squirreling their money away and not putting it to good use. The rich are not the only one's to blame, most people will never cash out of the stock market and when they die the stocks they own will be passed onto their heirs and much of the money will be destroyed by inheritance and capital gains taxes. It’s a lot like how 30 year mortgages never get paid off because most people sell their home and buy another one every 5-7 years.

 

The Iran war seems to have fizzled out. I don’t believe much was accomplished by the US and Israel in their short air campaign. Unfortunately the Persians are smart people and I believe they did the math on how far our biggest bombs can go underground and dug their bunkers deeper. In my opinion Iran already has enough material to make a few nuclear bombs and this war was conducted to see how many nuclear missiles they need to make to penetrate Israel’s missile defenses. Hopefully it’s a lot, if Jerusalem gets nuked then that will end Christianity, Talmudic Judaism, and probably Islam for most people. The danger is of course what will replace these religions, and I think we know the answer to that.
