The Future - Near & Far

Here's the best advice I could give to anyone on the future. Matthew 6:

25 `Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat, and what ye may drink, nor for your body, what ye may put on. Is not the life more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing?
26 look to the fowls of the heaven, for they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into storehouses, and your heavenly Father doth nourish them; are not ye much better than they?
27 `And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
28 and about clothing why are ye anxious? consider well the lilies of the field; how do they grow? they do not labour, nor do they spin;
29 and I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.
30 `And if the herb of the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow is cast to the furnace, God doth so clothe -- not much more you, O ye of little faith?
31 therefore ye may not be anxious, saying, What may we eat? or, What may we drink? or, What may we put round?
32 for all these do the nations seek for, for your heavenly Father doth know that ye have need of all these;
33 but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.
34 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow, for the morrow shall be anxious for its own things; sufficient for the day [is] the evil of it.


Do your best, don't worry about the rest.

You know what the bible says : "He that increaseth in knowledge, increaseth in sorrow"

You're too smart and you're too analytical.

Only three things matter in life:

1. Sex with Latin Women
2. Whiskey
3. Cigars


Tomorrow will come and take care of itself.

It's interesting that a human unless willingly dulling himself with alcohol, drugs, casual sex or TV has a great worry about the fate of the world even a far off future he will not experience.

Such a worry is not entirely biologically reasonable as the human is mortal in any scenario. Whatever happens to the world you are going to die so who really cares?

So why does a human worry about the fate of the world?

From this I conclude that the true human life takes place above his biological self.

The US, much like Rome, will become a dictatorship long before it collapses. The American Republic will become a true Empire. That will buy a few hundred extra years.

Im drunk but stay HAPPY man. Thats all that matters.

Quote:Quote:

What should I avoid, other than debt? Where is the safest place to be?

What you should avoid is channeling your will-to-power in faux pursuits that drain it away while giving you temporary hits.

World of Warcraft. Coin Collections. Chasing women beyond reasonable measure. All your "hobbies".

Here's something to think about -

Quote:Quote:

Human beings have a need (probably based in biology) for something that we will call the “power process.” This is closely related to the need for power (which is widely recognized) but is not quite the same thing. The power process has four elements. The three most clear-cut of these we call goal, effort and attainment of goal. (Everyone needs to have goals whose attainment requires effort, and needs to succeed in attaining at least some of his goals.) The fourth element is more difficult to define and may not be necessary for everyone. We call it autonomy and will discuss it later.

Quote:Quote:

in order to avoid serious psychological problems, a human being needs goals whose attainment requires effort, and he must have a reasonable rate of success in attaining his goals.


Quote:Quote:

We use the term “surrogate activity” to designate an activity that is directed toward an artificial goal that people set up for themselves merely in order to have some goal to work toward, or let us say, merely for the sake of the “fulfillment” that they get from pursuing the goal. Here is a rule of thumb for the identification of surrogate activities. Given a person who devotes much time and energy to the pursuit of goal X, ask yourself this: If he had to devote most of his time and energy to satisfying his biological needs, and if that effort required him to use his physical and mental faculties in a varied and interesting way, would he feel seriously deprived because he did not attain goal X? If the answer is no, then the person’s pursuit of goal X is a surrogate activity. Hirohito’s studies in marine biology clearly constituted a surrogate activity, since it is pretty certain that if Hirohito had had to spend his time working at interesting non-scientific tasks in order to obtain the necessities of life, he would not have felt deprived because he didn’t know all about the anatomy and life-cycles of marine animals. On the other hand the pursuit of sex and love (for example) is not a surrogate activity, because most people, even if their existence were otherwise satisfactory, would feel deprived if they passed their lives without ever having a relationship with a member of the opposite sex. (But pursuit of an excessive amount of sex, more than one really needs, can be a surrogate activity.)

Quote:Quote:

For many if not most people, surrogate activities are less satisfying than the pursuit of real goals (that is, goals that people would want to attain even if their need for the power process were already fulfilled). One indication of this is the fact that, in many or most cases, people who are deeply involved in surrogate activities are never satisfied, never at rest. Thus the money-maker constantly strives for more and more wealth. The scientist no sooner solves one problem than he moves on to the next. The long-distance runner drives himself to run always farther and faster. Many people who pursue surrogate activities will say that they get far more fulfillment from these activities than they do from the “mundane” business of satisfying their biological needs, but that is because in our society the effort needed to satisfy the biological needs has been reduced to triviality. More importantly, in our society people do not satisfy their biological needs AUTONOMOUSLY but by functioning as parts of an immense social machine. In contrast, people generally have a great deal of autonomy in pursuing their surrogate activities.


You know how people get addicted to sugar, sex, drugs, smokes, alcohol, serial relationships, "knowledge", music, painting, theater.. all "art" right?
If you speak to ex-addicts (or if youve undergone a metamorphosis yourself), you'll realize that its always the storm before the calm. But the calm is so much more rewarding, the spikes, the endorphin rushes, the struggle, the REALNESS of it all right? What most addicts try to do is recreate that first real experience, that first rush... and go on amping up the dosage... when all you need to do is reset the baseline receptiveness to the attainment. This may be done by a complete reset via a complete withdrawal, or through change.

Change and social interaction are two sides of the same time. Specifically, building real connections and climbing the social ladder. What you should be looking to do over the next 5, 10, 15 years is forging your own identity. Through change. Through struggle. I cannot stress the importance of struggle, and how rewarding the effort you put in is. Whether you take on a stereotypical identity or make one of your own, it doesn't really matter --- the journey is the reward.

Here's a hypothetical question -- If I were to offer you 10 million dollars today, or a difficult opportunity to forge a path that leads to your deepest, darkest desires, which choice would you be happy with 10 years down the line?

We're all crack-whores man. Game developers, sluts, TV shows (all media, really), the prevalent zeitgeist, your well-meaning family and friends, the entire fabric of society... is built on draining that will-to-power. And we willingly submit ourselves to it, for that rush of achievement, in whatever form the achievement may manifest itself --- being the baddest Alpha male in your social circle, killing that level 90 boss, making out with the HB10 in the most exclusive club in the most exclusive city in the world, that yacht or that island that Richard Branson once owned. Renouncing society and going out in the wilds to live on your own, or adopting any sort of nihilistic approach to life is still the same crack-whorish behavior -- because you're still reacting to the current society in order to get that hit. And then we form habits in search of that illusory first "hit" (childhood is also an example of the first "hit" that people strive to replicate throughout their adult lifetimes....First comes the denial -- no, we're not really addicted, that we can quit whenever we want. Then comes acceptance (and this is CRUCIAL) -- we feel bad, we feel depressed, we determine that TOMORROW we WILL stop. We cannot truly live in the moment or be genuinely proud of whatever this habit is, but we still torture ourselves. We want to QUIT, and we tell ourselves that tomorrow, or on New Years eve, or on the first of next month, or when we get our next paycheck, we WILL stop. And we dont. We trick ourselves into believing that the GOAL is to quit, to become "whole"(healthy, wise, social, complete and a whole host of other masturbatory adjectives) again (implying that we're broken somehow).

But really, the goal isn't to quit. It is to chase that hit. The self hate, the denial, the low self esteem, blaming your parents, your family, society... artificially creating the "struggle" necessary for that hit, for salvation. Because if you get a regular supply of food, and shelter, and clothing easily ... you'd need another way to struggle right?

And without strife, it isn't possible to get the feeling of achievement (Which is why you'd probably accept the free cash but never be truly happy with it).

The key, I think (and im always wrong, so...) is to be able to regulate your own power process to include natural stimuli in place of these artificial ones. Regulate your own response to these natural challenges. Have(or discover) a "vision" for yourself. Think like a commander who sees the broader picture over an extended period of time, as opposed to a common footsoldier who only sees the enemy in front of him ("live each day as if it were your last"). And when you finally figure out it out , have the balls and will to pull out the plug and repivot when you find yourself giving in to distractions or going in a different direction (there's your struggle right there).

After all, what is a man if he's subservient to his emotions and impulse?
Happiness is a choice man. You could be happy in a concentration camp if you will yourself to be (hypothetically, of course).

You know who the happiest (fictional)man in the whole world was?
Don Vito Corleone, as he experienced the perfect death. Under the sun, in a garden of his own making, in the house of his own, surrounded by family that adored him, enemies that respected him, having struggled life to the fullest.

“Yet, he thought, if I can die saying, "Life is so beautiful," then nothing else is important. If i can believe in myself that much, nothing else matters.”

Both are wrong. The manosphere is often nihilistic and overly bleak, when reality is far different from that. The mainstream media is often overly optimistic and "progress oriented," when again, reality is very different from that view.

The future holds both fear and promise. We cannot constantly live under the belief that the sky is falling. The fundamental belief that the West is decaying is overly simplistic. The Western world is fundamentally changing. We're seeing a very similar situation to the decline of the Roman Empire, the Egyptians before them, etc., etc. It's not as simple as shouting "feminism is the problem," because it's not sufficient by itself. Yes, it certainly has eliminated (or challenged) some of the traditional institutions that made the West great, but some of those institutions have also been sowing the seeds of their own demise for decades, if not centuries. For example, the Church of England, which is seeing a steep decline in membership, asked for compulsory religious education. One of the best ways to make people anti-religion is by forcing it upon them, and compelling instruction in public schools did not help. There's also the issue that Europe sees religion as part of the EVIL patriarchal society (the same one that made it great), and does anything to eliminate those same structures.

As for the degeneracy of Western society, I think we are about to see a change. The rise of far right, populist groups like PEGIDA and UKIP in the EU, and the surprising success of Donald Trump shows that people are getting fed up with the left wing narrative of "progress" and "equality." I think a lot of people realize that they've been fed a line of bullshit, especially when combined with the stagnation of European economies. Progress, as many people are coming to realize, doesn't mean actually addressing societal ills (i.e. income disparities, poverty, underemployment, unemployment, economic growth). It means addressing nonsensical social issues, such as "gay marriage," "equal pay," and the "campus rape epidemic." Most people don't care about a 7 year old "transgender's" (nobody is transgender at 7) "right" to use the women's restroom. It's a non-issue for all but the SJW lynch mob (who benefit immensely from the EVIL patriarchy). However, EVERYONE cares about being employed, having enough money to feed his family, and knowing where the next meal is coming from.

If you're not fucking her, someone else is.

I like to think about this stuff too but I like to counterbalance it with trying to understand how insignificant we are. Scientists say the earth is about 4 billion years old. We might be here for 80 years or so. Scientists say there are more stars in the visible universe than there are grains of sands on all the beaches in world and the earth is just one planet revolving around one star. In the grand scheme of things how big are our problems really? I don't have the answer to anything but I guess I think we should work hard to understand what will create a fulfilling life for us as individuals but not take things too seriously because so much is out of our control.

I am more optimistic than Fall of Rome scenarios.

There are important similarities but also major differences. From reading a book lent to me by a friend on Byzantium, it was not simply mass immigration (this is the number 1 issue in the Western world so I focus on it here) that undid the Empire.

It was foreigners attaining high office and dominating the military.
Now, depending on what you think of Obama even the first has not been attained. And the military and security services certainly are not infiltrated.

I posted multiple times on where we are to go.

In short it will be:
+ rising unemployment up to 50% by 2050
+ technological unemployment
+ "free-trade" created unemployment by transfer of jobs overseas or insourcing
+ rising government dependent social class
+ austerity being the norm with the population being pacified by virtual reality, pot and addictive food
+ rising cancer rate - sooner, faster, stronger - falling longevity since the 1990s already - increase of vaccines to exacerbate the trend
+ rising internal tensions within Western countries as millions of diverse immigrants flood them and cause friction
+ internal terrorism as the eternal war
+ amalgamation of trading blocs to EU-like federations - North America, Europe, Asia, Africa - then joining of all those together into a One World Government - timeline around 2060-2080
+ total surveillance - maybe even everyone getting chipped

On economy:

thread-35402...#pid710850
thread-35402...#pid722058
thread-37831.html
thread-37530...#pid765248

Who really controls the US also has some insights: thread-48745.html

If you know who rules, then you can extrapolate where we are going.

Best is to start reading Carroll Quigley - CFR historian and Georgetown professor who wrote several books that tell the real human history.
Despite him writing the granddaddy books on so-called conspiracy Bill Clinton mentioned him as a great mentor in his presidential inaugural address. That should tell you something. There is the knowledge that is sold the masses and then there is the one told the owner and managerial class (Clinton being part of the latter). We are the cattle.

Also I recommend the movie THRIVE - don't let the new agey twist at the end fool you. It is well researched and their site is very good too. Cuttingthroughthematrix.com is also aside from documents at americandeception.com a valuable non-cooky resource.
But we will see whether they can pull it off - life has their own plans and goals.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEV5AFFcZ-s

Still - the next 20 years will definitely go as they plan more or less.

Actionable advice:

1. Become wealthy - ready to move to different countries
2. Alternatively rise in the corporate ranks, but you need to be really high to not be affected by anything
3. Rise in the government ranks if you can stomach that
4. Become completely location independent - hard to do unless you manage to manifest some real wealth there - since most of population will become poorer over time it will become harder and harder, but the options are still there

Also my recommendation of how a better system would look like: thread-42802.html

You asked what books to recommend aside from Quigley in the migrant thread:

+ Antony Sutton
+ David Irving
+ Alan Watt - cuttingthroughthematrix.com
+ americandeception.com - plenty of explosive documents like the Reece Commission on Foundations there
+ Charlotte Izerbytt Thomson - on education
+ John Taylor Gatto
+ re-read 1984 from George Orwell
+ re-read Brave New World - Huxley - both Orwell (Blair) and Huxley were well connected and came from scientific elite
+ Jacques Attali - books foreshadow what is to come - he was a high level EU handler well above the EU commission in my opinion

If you still question reality after reading through all that, then I cannot help you.

It certainly all makes much more sense and explains better what is happening in our world.

Why? Because it's the next step to attain world domination. It's certainly not about money.

Their trick of extending life won't work. Ever they seek to become inhuman and obtain some kind of biological immortality, and no matter how many souls they sacrifice, no matter how many boundaries they cross in genetic engineering, those who are without the spirit and energy of the creator cannot attain their own Godliness. For those of you who don't believe, let me supply a contrapositive, the NWO elites, who we all inadvertently work for, are just as human as you and me, even though there are supernatural deals to their origins and rise to power, but they will all die just like we all will. That is the limit of human.

I agree - copying your brain to a computer hard-drive is an unattainable myth. They will realize that such a "being" won't be them, but at best a flawed facsimile.

They do make massive errors and did so in the past - their inbreeding experiments in the 19th century for example - Rothschilds did that as well as the Huxleys-Wedgewoods-Darwins interbred for generations with only 2 other families - produced mostly feeble morons and a few geniuses. They have been wrong before and will be wrong again. So some paths do not pan out.

But they have managed to amass an amazing amount of power, money and influence across the globe - the only reason why they managed that is because they did it in the shadows. Their empire would actually crumble in the light.

Interesting. In the shadows yes, but it was a Luciferian contract, that is why they have earthly power over other humans and their machinations have gone undetected. They've built up the guilt machine by preying on good human's natural altruistic nature to create a weak group of people believed to be in constant discrimination and in dire need of protection. They destroyed the Czarist Russia with their Bolshevik pawns and murdered millions. They divided the United States in half causing the deaths of million of whites. They were behind all the revolutions in Europe around the time of the the U.S.' founding. They were behind the downfall of Germany, and the assassinations of their age-old enemies in the Middle East.

The problem I have with Revelations is that all of this is 'supposed' to happen which I have trouble agreeing with. Why? Why create such a waste and make a mockery out of everything that humans can do for the greater good? What will they obtain that they don't already have? They will continue to push the destruction of all whites with culture wars and racial proximity. I think it is because they realized that they are not God's chosen people, because they have fallen far from it, but are jealous at whites who have created so much in this world. I'm bleathering on now, but their future is a satanic rat race, empty, amoral, and void of light. Just a few grubbing "elephants in the room" ruling over a world of tribal and starving negroes and arabs and orientals and slavs and all the mulatto kind of south america, amassing fiat wealth to no end, killing all those who oppose them.

Was it part of their plan to let this all be known now that more people do understand but lack the courage and the balls to take them down??

While many folks are very doom and gloom about the future, I lean towards the optimistic; at least in the US (excluding the women; which is way up in the air). The internet provides for social/cultural shifts to occur at a far rapid pace than in the past (for better or worse) and the general mood excluding the SJW/libtard freaks is that real shit needs to change and it needs to change like yesterday.

Not that I’m saying anything new but a lot of people haven’t really seen any real progress economically since the 2008 crash and these same people are finally waking up (both liberal and conservative) and realizing: “Fuck me…. I’ve lost almost a decade of good earning potential and positive momentum. I’m running out of time!” This partially explains the rise of people like Trump and Sanders who both are calling out bullshit in their own respective ways. And while both have different approaches to solving issues, the point is A LOT of folks are realizing that many things are fundamentally broken and need to be addressed ASAP. In one respect, the mood is very similar to how many of us were probably feeling right before taking the red pill. In that, we knew something was very very off, we were not happy about it, its a feeling that has been simmering for a quite a while in various ways, but we couldn’t put all the pieces together and have that epiphany moment.

For all we know, the western world or parts of it at least are about to have its red pill moment in the near future. The day is darkest before the dawn.

Did anyone read the last page of that paper- the summary? Remember, this was first published in 1976:

"(b) In a surprising manner, 250 years
emerges as the average length of national
greatness." (The U.S. is 239)

-and-

(e) Decadence is marked by:
Defensiveness
Pessimism
Materialism
Frivolity
An influx of foreigners
The Welfare State
A weakening of religion."

That perfectly describes the current state of this country, and of much of Europe. Nobody is more defensive than a left-wing SJW, nor more pessimistic. We are all guilty of materialism and frivolity I suppose, considering our relatively soft lives compared to our ancestors, and the unending waves of immigration and subsequent government support will be our undoing. I suppose even in 1976 religion was waning.
