The Five Types of Bullshit Jobs Niles Heckman Download We're going to be talking in the future about the concept of AI sovereign wealth funds, where the people of a country are compensated for all the stealing of their content AI models have done in their training, to create wealth not just for regressive Nerd Reich oligarchic sith lords and their carbon bomb data centers, but...

Why Israel Hates Peace and is a Global Pariah Niles Heckman It's important for people in the West, like say someone in the UK or US, to fully outerstand the extremely wasteful and massively unhealthy relationship our countries have with Israel.

Democratic Socialism Saves Capitalism from the Capitalists Niles Heckman Download The paradox is as old as the ying yang of social & capital itself: left entirely to its own appetites, capitalism develops self-cannibalism. Wealth concentrates, monopolies calcify, labor becomes precarious, oligarchs start raping, politics is purchased wholesale, and eventually the public ceases to feel the syst...

Simulation Theory For Inner Peace Niles Heckman We sometimes think about how if this is a simulation of some sort that we are living in, from a civilization so advanced it's so psychedelic and thus hard to comprehend, is it designed so that every time you come into it, or soul transit into it, through the course of your life, as you age, the larger material outer world seems to become more an...

The Billionaire Bootlicker Niles Heckman Download We once heard a conversation on a radio show hosted by a constitutional scholar, talking to a woman who called in while sounding like she was drinking Mountain Dew and eating Pop Tarts. He brought up the problem of medieval wealth mis-distribution, and he said the fact that we even have billionaires in the first place shows the sickness of our soci...

Expensive Online Courses Are Usually Bollocks Niles Heckman Download Back in ancient days of higher consciousness we had wise sages in nature on foggy mountaintops who would meditate in the center of stone circles. Now in late stage sugar and plastic plutocracy that has far too often been replaced by funnel marketers, the most "successful" of whom have McMansions on hills. The guru archetype has b...

Authoritarianism is Childish. Democracy is Adulthood. Niles Heckman Download Democracy requires courage not merely from institutions, but from citizens themselves. To live democratically means accepting responsibility. You cannot simply worship a leader as though politics were a secular religion. You must participate, argue, persuade, organize, and tolerate defeat. The authoritarian temperament wa...

What We Would Do If Diagnosed With Cancer Niles Heckman Download A relative of our wife may or may not have just been diagnosed with cancer. They are quite young. In their early 40s. Like most of us when we hear such a thing and say "we're sorry to hear that" and what we really secretly mean is "we're glad that's not us" we are going to take this one and say this is what we would do if this was us...

Problems Can't Be Solved Without Accurate Identification Niles Heckman We are living in times which have been the result of many past solutions, but also still have massive problems. One could imagine they are a problem solver wrestling chaos into order, while far too often, much of their struggle is spent wrestling shadows which are phantoms born of misidentification. And one might as well attemp...

One Nation, Indivisible Niles Heckman Download At its core, a pledge is an act of binding the self through the spoken word. In lesser known esoteric traditions, speech is not treated as casual; it is creative and formative. To declare something aloud, especially in a repeated, formalized way, is to impress it upon both the individual psyche and the collective field. In the ancient world,...

"Voter Fraud" is Dogwhistle for "Voter Suppression" Niles Heckman Download Christian Right Baal worshiping imperial agent Paul Weyrich said in 1980 “I don't want everybody to vote.

Neoliberalism And Neoconservatism Are Both Hot Garbage Niles Heckman Download Let us begin by diving into a corporatized bipartisan disappointment, both puppeted to us by the filthy Epstein class over past decades, and name the culprits plainly: Both "Neoliberalism" and "Neoconservatism". Different accents, same sermon. Which together have made a rather impressive mess of things. Unlike in The Mat...

Not Confronting Empire is Spiritual Bypassing Niles Heckman Download The spiritual path is the path of each individual's personal evolution and development. Or change that into saying how one grows and improves through their life. Which is actually over lifetimes. And just to let you know dear watcher or listener, it's why you're currently in the Earth realm. Because there is improvement needed. F...

Alcohol Is A Drug And Cannabis is a Better Drug Niles Heckman Download Alcohol is a blunt instrument. It is a kind of biochemical sledgehammer. It doesn’t expand but instead contracts and degrades the fidelity of the nervous system. Language blobs out and can even collapse, motor control falters, memory dissolves into black gaps. It is, in essence, a controlled poisoning. The pleasure it offers is...

Zionism: A Settler Colonial Ideology That Hurts Jews Niles Heckman Download One must begin by refusing the usual grunt and eye roll worthy tired blackmail: that any criticism of Israeli Zionism is antisemitic, being a prejudice or hatred toward all Jews. That vulgar conflation is not only so disingenuous, but has done immense intellectual and moral damage. Zionism, in its political...

A Steady State Economy Over Endless Economic Growth Niles Heckman Download Endless economic growth is one of the great pieces of modern mythology. It stands shoulder to shoulder with the divine right of scumbag egomaniacal kings. It is a story we tell ourselves, and like all powerful stories, it shapes the architecture of our civilization. But let us slow down and look at it carefully. The idea of...

American Christianity: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly, and the Psychotic Niles Heckman Download Now what we're about to say can be ported into all Abrahamic Religions, but for the sake of this one, we'll use the mental operating system that is American Christianity — A carnival of faith, commerce, redemption, and far too often - lunacy. Like most grand human enterprises, it contains both ad...

The Moral Inversion Of Fascists Where Every Accusation Is A Confession Niles Heckman Download The 24/7 lies of the MAGA cult are not an American novelty, nor a partisan curiosity. It is a structural feature of any fascist brain drain. Projection is not a bug of the system; it is the system. If you examine the anatomy of fascism, whether in Benito Mussolini’s Italy or Adolf Hitler’s Germa...

Arc Raiders and Human Cooperation Niles Heckman Download Gaming can of course be an addiction. Like all things in life, balance is important and we ourselves are not above playing the occasional computer game as we all need a little escape here and there. In spirts and not letting it take over our life of course.  Amongst other more creative things, one of our rituals we do for fun with our d...

Be King To People But Ruthless To Systems Niles Heckman Download “Be kind to people, but ruthless to systems” is one of those deceptively gentle aphorisms that, on closer inspection, turns out to be a hand grenade wrapped in a thank-you note. What it insists upon, quite rightly, is a moral distinction that our age finds unbearably difficult to maintain. People are fallible, frightened, often doing...

The Epstein Files Tell Us Extreme Wealth Rots The Soul Niles Heckman Download The Epstein files tell us, if one has the stomach to read them and the spine to accept their implications, that the ultra-rich inhabit not merely a different tax bracket, which consists of paying little to no taxes when they are the only ones who should pay most to all the taxes, but a different moral juri...

American Empire on Overload Niles Heckman Download Cultures do not collapse because they are evil they collapse because they are exhausted by their own metaphors.

Casting Spells and Chanting Over Thoughts and Prayers Niles Heckman Download The fabulous comedian David Cross, whose comedy decades ago first raised our eyebrow to lowest common denominator political American stupidity, has a great bit where he says “I would like to officially change and substitute 'casting spells and chanting' in place of 'thoughts and prayers'. Hilarious and even more American!...
