Solving the Anti-Life Equation (2nd Permutation)
Lossy Intellectual Compression and Stockholm Martyrs in the Metonymocracy
In our previous installment, we introduced the Anti-Life Equation and its insidious implementation and propagation within the Woke Anti-Life Cult, particularly with regard to their Sacrament of Safety.
In this iteration1, we will examine the Equation’s implications for the The Cult’s closely linked obsessions with “identity politics” and “credentialism.”
This phenomenon emerges from the cultists’ inability to compute multifactorial social equations. They lack the self-confidence to trust themselves to properly assign value to a multitude of variables in such a way as to arrive at a proper conclusion, or at least a conclusion that would meet with acceptance from their peers and superiors.
Lacking some combination of the intelligence to analyze complex situations and the confidence to independently arrive at conclusions, they desperately seek a simple binary answer to everything. They can’t judge each person as an individual based on the content of their character, their myriad past experiences, nuanced range of perspectives, overall comportment, accomplishments and merits, etc…, so they need a simple marker to know what bucket in which to place a person, to know how to behave. Along with the credential variable (which we will discuss later), the identity variable serves this role for the cultist. Of course, as we discussed in the first article, they are always presented in an ironclad binary.
Example Identity Variables:
black = good
trans = good
young = good
gay = good
foreign = good
white = bad
man = bad
old = bad
straight = bad
American2 = bad
Even then, combinations quickly arise which confuse and confound the cultist, so there is some concession made to a simple Hierarchy of Virtue so that even the cultist can operate when more than one trait is present at once. Nonetheless, we often see them short-circuit when presented with trait arrangements that are paradoxical within their schema. Examining these equations reveals an intellectual “kill switch” baked into the programming to keep the cultists ensnared:
Rob Smith—Political Commentator: gay (good) + black (good) + NOT CULTIST (OMEGA BAD) = BAD!
Blair White—Internet Personality: trans (good) + young (good) + white (bad) + NOT CULTIST (OMEGA BAD) = BAD!
Joe Biden—Illegitimate Figurehead of the Globalist Cabal’s United States operation: straight (bad) + white (bad) + old (bad) + man (bad) + rich (bad) + CULTIST (OMEGA GOOD) = GOOD!
Did you catch it?
As we see, the ultimate determiner is actually whether or not the individual is a fellow cult member, again collapsing the equation down to something manageable—intellectually, emotionally, and socially—for the cultist. Despite their protestations to the contrary, all other variables are, in fact, entirely extraneous, amounting to little more than fragile feints to assuage the ego of the cultist and cudgel any would-be heretics.
This behavior draws from the well of existential fear that we all drink from. And it is the Dark Side of necessary, natural tendencies in humans to yearn for a sense of community, and to discern patterns and then compartmentalize to save time and mental resources. However, in the Woke Cultist this is terrifyingly pathological and deleterious both to the individual and the society in which they exist. It renders them mentally and emotionally crippled—credulously, desperately believing anything and everything told to them by their priests, turning to these false gods as the ultimate arbiters for soothing, powerful truth in an otherwise seemingly perilous, pointless, and inscrutable world. The cruel irony being that the same charlatan priests now deigning to offer their self-serving diktats under the false pretense of saving their beleaguered flock are, in reality, the very same demons sedulously working to both beleaguer said flock and to render the world a post-modern Pandemonium.
Which brings us to the second component of this equation: “credentialism.”
Having had their ego and intellect disintegrated under the crushing weight of trauma-based mind control, the victims’ wounded world view is now reduced to the infected, illogical mathematics of identity politics. This wound operates as an mental stent, allowing the priest class to inject any idea, however absurd or paradoxical, directly into the minds of their entire, conformist flock in one fell swoop, bypassing the normal intellectual immune responses of doubt and analysis, while also shutting down the emotional immuno-responses of compassion and empathy. This mental stent often manifests in the form of credentialism, constructed of the following identities:3
You = Group
Group = Priests
You ≠ Priests
This intransigent transience of the transitive property is axiomatic to the Cult, regardless of which phantasmagorical form it has taken throughout the years. George Orwell encapsulated it brilliantly decades ago in his classic, 1945 novel Animal Farm: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” And again, we would note the corruption of the innate yearning to be part of the group.
The cursed equations even recall another of Orwell’s creations: the mind-crushing doublethink sloganeering of The Party in his seminal masterwork 1984:
War = Peace
Freedom = Slavery
Ignorance = Strength
The result of such cognitive annihilation is that the idiot flock can be cognitively corralled into designated pens, where they are easily injected with the desired narrative—and safely quarantined from dangerous wrongthink. As described above, the conditions to facilitate this are intentionally created by the priest class, and there are authoritarian measures in place to punish or erase any dissenters. However, tragically, at this point in their conditioning the majority of the cultists do not require any overt oppressive measures in order to carry out their programming. To the contrary, they will automatically go forth and vociferously spread their dogma with religious zeal and certainty. They will seek out and destroy anyone who presents an alternative world view. They will defend their sacraments and their priests with a visceral, often violent, ferocity amalgamating the brutalized psyche of Stockholm Syndrome sufferers with the upturned eyes of ecstatic martyrs. And they are conditioned to see everyone else as the cultists.
Much like how the “identity politics” phenomenon parades out a string of variables that are ultimately discarded at the slightest whim of the priest class, so too are the requisite credentials completely subject to the caprices of the the cult leaders. They already largely control the institutions that provide the very credentials they require for participation in their sham society, allowing them to guarantee that their flock only ever seeks out and receives the officially sanctioned narratives. That said, if some blasphemers from a bygone age dare defy them, or some contemporary heretics have the temerity to contradict their edicts, the elites simply say the apostates’ credentials do not matter—however sacrosanct they would claim the same credentials to be if held by a cultist—and the lobotomized masses never notice the otherwise obvious hypocrisy.
”Do you have a related degree?” they sneer.
”Trust The Science©!” they shriek.
They say we should—nay must!—place our unwavering faith in the lab coat, the name badge, the framed diploma, a monstrous metonymocracy stomping on the throat of a gasping meritocracy. The cultist has completely sacrificed all critical thinking at the stainless steel altar of this synecdochic society.
Example Credential Variables:
government = good
academia = good
doctor = good
Science©4 = good
independent = bad
observation/common sense = bad
herbal/dietary/holism = bad
religion/spirituality = bad
Again, as we saw with the “identity politics” variables, these are used as a simple reference for cultists to determine how to think, feel, and behave. And again, combinations quickly arise which confuse and confound the cultist, thus revealing the “CULTIST/NOT CULTIST” kill switch hardcoded into the programming.
The ultimate determiner is always whether or not the individual is a fellow cult member.
We can combine both types of variables (identity and credential) in real-life equations below to illustrate this point regarding how cultists process information regarding the dangerous and ineffective COVID-19 gene therapy:
Joseph A. Ladapo, MD, PhD—Florida Surgeon General: black (good) + young (good) + doctor (good) + Ivy League degree (good) + government (good) + NOT CULTIST (OMEGA BAD) = BAD!
Bill Nye—TV Personality and “Science© Communicator”: white (bad) + old (bad) + not doctor (bad) + no Ivy League degree (bad) + not government (bad) + CULTIST (OMEGA GOOD) = GOOD!
We are told to trust all experts, but not the wrong ones. We are told to believe all women, but not the wrong ones. We are told to accept all elections, but not the wrong ones. We are relentlessly subjected to a military-grade psy-op bombarding us with contradictions, lunacy, and lies until everything seems too complicated, every answer wrong, every uncertainty certain doom, and in that moment our shattered souls and mangled minds succumb to the nihilistic oblivion of the Anti-Life Equation. In that moment “self = Dark Side.” In that moment we love Big Brother. In that moment “2 + 2 = 5.”
The Earth is not yet a cold, dead place. As Darkseid himself observed, “As long as a scrap of free will exists anywhere in the universe—then the Darkseid remains unfulfilled.”5
Thus, it is incumbent on all of us to retain our vital free will at all costs and ensure that the Anti-Life Equation never reduces our world to a soulless, solved-state singularity. Many of the cultists are lost to logic, lost to creativity, lost to critical thinking. Their minds and souls have been thoroughly pulverized into fine ash by this infernal machine. By taking a deeper look at the Anti-Life Equation, we can see how this destruction of the self has inculcated a pathological dependence on identity politics and credentialism in its victims. They have been systematically disassembled, stripped of their humanity, and rebuilt to loathe life itself, to dread its dynamism, to curse and cower at its kaleidoscopic complexity.
This article is not only an academic endeavor; it is also a pragmatic one. It is designed to counter the effects of the Anti-Life Equation. May whoever reads this, regardless of their “identity” or their “credentials,” take up the torch of freedom and stand defiant against the howling silence of the Anti-Life Equation.
We are the heroes the world needs. YOU are the hero the world needs.
Life is not simple.
Live anyway.
The original note that spawned this article can be found here. Thank you to my fellow Philosopher-Kings
and for contributing invaluable ideas to develop this article and in encouraging me to build it out into a proper post.This article is written from the framework of the United States, so this variable is listed as “American.” However, this Woke Anti-Life Virus fundamentally never changes, and the underlying element here is a rabid disgust for one’s own country and culture, combined with an uninformed, ignorant, often-infantilizing/fetishizing of foreign countries and cultures. This is a fascinating case study when compared and contrasted with the disgust-fueled demagoguery of past authoritarian states. In some ways it seems like a complete mutation, reversing from a disgust of “the other” or “the foreigner” into a disgust for “the neighbor” or the “countrymen.” In that sense, it is a terrifyingly ingenious poison pill for killing a culture. However, in another sense, it could be argued that it actually no different from past iterations, where people’s primal repugnance was weaponized for internecine strife against a targeted, internal demographic.
This dual meanings of identity in mathematics as an equality between two mathematical expressions that produce the same value for all values of the variables within a certain range of validity, and the meaning of identity in modern sociology as an innate trait or series of traits that define an individual, may be far more relevant to this discussion than is immediately evident. Viewing “identity politics” from the mathematical lens is elucidating, and I think it warrants further exploration.
The subversion of language is an extremely important part of the Woke Cult’s dogma, so I do want to note here that terms like The Science©, as used by cultists, are completely inverted from their actual meanings. This semantic sophistry is also weaponized to force the victim to believe obvious contradictions: they defend The Science© while denouncing actual scientific inquiry. They defend multinational mega-corporations while decrying capitalism. They simply uncritically intake and repeat whatever narrative is injected into them. Combine this with the ideological capture of traditional sense-making, culture-creating institutions and you have an issue where people are no longer even able to comprehend or communicate basic concepts outside of their respective echo chambers.
The comic page that leads off this article, and is interspersed throughout, is taken from the 2005 miniseries “Seven Soldiers: Mister Miracle,” by Grant Morrison. The final comic panel featuring Darkseid was found here, though I am uncertain in which specific comic it appears. All rights belong to their respective creators.
Great piece! I love the tie in to comics, a chronically underestimated art form.
I wonder what is to be done? For my part, I know to stay the course at my little out of the way high school and keep hammering the importance of independent thinking.
Courage folks, as dark times are ahead.
Man, somebody else read Seven Soldiers. I note that Grant Morrison is now a "they." They can do what they want to do, of course; that's their right and I still respect their work.
I am grateful for the shout-out but I am much more of a philosopher-hovel-dwelling-ragpicker than a philosopher-king.
