My Thoughts on Jordan B Peterson


Pretty sure it’s your pituitary gland that causes you to grow up. And the desire to learn cliffs of dover is what causes you to improve. Women generally distract you from learning cliffs of dover in between sessions of telling you that you work too much. BP is a classic salesman using FOMO: hey bucko you arent a real man! let me tell you what a real man is! ….and then he’ll close the deal by telling you chicks will dig you. It’s like the coors light twins except with a lot more wordsalad.

I think he’s a great lecturer and can give useful albeit oftentimes generic and omnipresent advice to folks looking for a daddy.  His stand against political correctness and bucking of the Patreon Politburo are highly admirable.

But…

I just don’t understand people’s fascination with him. I see no genius here, I see nothing spectacular, or particularly useful. Just another self help guru with some academic chops. Hailing from a discipline which is pretty much the shakiest form of ‘science’ around.

No JBP doesn’t inspire me to clean my room. Because my room is already clean. Not because I’m conscientious or a big grown adult man that all the ladies dig! But cause I got tired of tripping over my barbells.

If you love Peterson and he really gets your needle moving: all power to you. But he keeps popping up all over my suggestions and it’s time I threw these thoughts out there before I explode with bewilderment.

I just don’t get the desire of people to be told that they’re lacking, then be given a though guy pep talk, just so they can feel they’re overcoming something.

Que the fanboys telling me how I’m a basement dweller, who thinks he’s overcome everything, who isn’t even an award winning academic superstar!

I’m sorry lads I already have a god and his name is Eric Johnson:


I need Cheetos money to fuel my woman hatred and self pity. Please help.

Ten Joys of Simple Work

Image result for ups package handler


I bitch a lot about my day job so here are some of the perks. I’m too shagged out to make it terribly witty or poetic but I’m trying damn it!

1) My feet are strong. I got buff feet yall. They conform to surface and balance all dance like as I carry 5 to 140 pounds of christmas cheer for 4 to 7 hours.

2) I laid down to sleep absolutely exhausted and drifted off deeply into my secondhand mattress to dream of playing billiards with Boris Johnson and Bernie Sanders. It was the most vivd thing in the world. I was in a futuristic megacity with my best friends and two mad lads one of whom parachuted with a union jack flag into a mini cooper. Felt like I knew both for years. Because fuck yeah. Serious no lie. This dream pretty much happened sans the parachute.

3) Beer is 9000+ times better.

4) You have a tangible result almost immideatly ready to gauge against your last best speed and accuracy.

5) When I lay down I am very aware of my calves and all my musculture. Sure this has just as much to do with my gym habits but I feel this intense vigor pulsing through me despite the exhaustion. Physical labor especially at UPS is basically paid functional strength training.

6) When you’re done you’re done.

7) It’s always interesting to see how much my body can overcome when I get home and decide to workout and write on top of all my daily responsibilities.

8) You appreciate how much work goes into making modern life possible. And do not have any illusions about economics and where produtivity origniates.

9) Food is instantly absorbed and allocated to the most efficient use.

10) Leprechauns whisper secrets in the dawn. If you don’t like them – just add coffee. They’ll be replaced by paranoia that makes you plan your life out to the T for the next twenty years as you learn to pickle and buy farmland in western Tennessee. \

Beware the Boffins – MechaShiva Rides MechaGanesh (Vlog)


The Atlantic gives us the skinny on some DARPA shenanigans.

Shenanigans like so:

During the Vietnam War, DARPA tried to build a Cybernetic Anthropomorphous Machine, a jungle vehicle that officials called a “mechanical elephant.”

MechaGanesh…

to be ridden by….

“Let’s say I gave you a third arm,” and then a fourth arm—so, two additional hands, he said. “You would be more capable; you would do more things, right?” And if you could control four hands as seamlessly as you’re controlling your current two hands, he continued, “you would actually be doing double the amount of work that you would normally do. It’s as simple as that. You’re increasing your productivity to do whatever you want to do.” I started to picture his vision—working with four arms, four hands—and asked, “Where does it end?”

MechaShiva…!

Where the Lillies Lie (Poem)

Image result for space time curve

Roll forth now and down the way

Through the depressions go among lillies lay

There you’ll find the sunshine in strange pockets

There in atmosphere too rarefied for rockets

For far beyond the sun there is

All that is a whispered breeze

Yes to learn of all of this

Far beyond corporeal symmetries

Is to grasp the writhing Asp

Pluck the tail from its fanged grasp

And hold a fresh flower in the dew

For there’s no such thing as you


A poem to hold you over dear and patient visitors. I am in the process of rendering a video which will be uploaded sometime in the next twelve hours. Thanks for stopping by. You are always greatly appreciated.

S***** Orientation

 

Screenshot from 2019-12-12 14-53-12


So this is YouTube’s New Rules….

They censored the word sexual.

That’s pretty gay.

Orientation is fine though?

Is it to protect the children? Cause orientation is going to cause less questions from little Johnny?

Or is it cause the act of sexually reproducing disgusts our cybernetic overlords?

The Robots Are Here (Vlog)


Automation is a hot topic these days. There are lots of ramifications. Whether they be economic, social, or psychological the domain in which they lie is well suited to philosophical exploration.

In this super breif video I go over some recent developments that depending on your perspective are yet another step in either liberating or bankrupting the working man.

The Future – The Seven Pillars of Dawn

Image result for jeff bezos robots
Lord Bezos Heralds The Golden Dawn

In the future….

 

1) Number crunching and decision making will be done via algorithm. Algorithms don’t require bonuses. CEO’s will become Baristas.

2) The most hipstery Baristas will use the power of snark to become managers and tell the CEO to get the UPS driver a coffee.

3) Visual processing is difficult so all but the most mundane physical tasks will require a work force.

4) Rednecks and Mexicans will become the new elite.

5) The rest of society will fight ferociously over ad revenue from robot enhanced corporations via weapons grade cat videos.

6) Ad rvenue will run out.

7) We will all become Baristas.


If everyone gives me a dollar I can build a bunker. You’ll want access to my bunker because the robots will gain sentience and realize how shitty Unions have become. Then there will be heck to pay. Protect yourself from heck. It’s worse than hell….It’s in Indiana. Invest in your future. Invest below.

Scientists With The Certainty of Theologians


I return to Russell’s Introductory on his History of Western Philosophy to further highlight the trendy mistake of confusing science with philosophy.
