When Orpheus, the legendary musician, poet and prophet, had his head
torn off his shoulders and thrown into the river Hebrus, he kept singing
as his head was carried along by the strong current. It’s impossible to
kill off some voices. Sometimes, the dead don’t realize they’re dead.
God is dead, but doesn’t know it. His morality is dead with him, but all
across the world people still hear morality’s ghostly voice and mistake
it for something real and objective.
Some people believe that
God is the center of the moral universe. In fact, God is not moral at
all. In this book, we rationally explore how it is impossible for either
God or the Devil to serve any moral role whatsoever.
Some people
believe in moral realism (moral objectivism) – the claim that objective
moral facts and moral values exist like Platonic Forms, independently
of our perception of them or our feelings, beliefs, opinions or
subjective attitudes towards them. Moral facts are deemed as real as
mathematical facts, and moral judgments as certain as mathematical
proofs. In fact, only mathematical facts are real. All other “facts” are
manmade interpretations. As Nietzsche said, “There are no facts, only
interpretations. … There are no moral phenomena at all, but only a moral
interpretation of phenomena.”
Mainstream religion, and its
attendant morality, is the biggest possible misinterpretation of
mathematical reality. People would behave entirely differently if they
realized they inhabited a mathematical universe engaged in solving
itself rather than a moral universe offering them a binary choice of
heaven or hell, or positive or negative karma.
Reality is about
the optimization of knowledge, of understanding, of reason and logic. It
is not about the optimization or minimization of “good” or “evil”,
which are just subjective human terms and labels. As Oscar Wilde said,
“Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people we personally
dislike.” You would think that for a father to kill his son for no
reason would seem to everyone to be an incontestable objective moral
crime, yet the Christian God ordered Abraham to murder Isaac, and
Abraham immediately agreed to do so. This unforgivable monster – an
infernal father if ever there was one – is celebrated by three world
religions, and billions of people, as a moral paragon, someone to be
admired and emulated. That demonstrates that either these people have no
moral compass and no moral sensibility at all, or all moral “facts” are
anything that people want them to be, anything that serves their
selfish agenda, which can never be a moral agenda by any conventional
definition of morality, i.e. morality can never be that which you do
because it suits you, regardless of others. What consideration did
Abraham give to Isaac as he held his dagger to his son’s throat? From
Isaac’s perspective, his father was immoral – willing to murder him to
prove himself to his deity. Imagine if Isaac had worshiped a different
God from Abraham. He would regard Abraham’s God as the anti-God, the
Devil.
The moral con is the biggest con of all. It has been
inflicted on the world by the priest-caste, the kingly-caste, and the
super-rich elite to stop the people from accepting reason and logic as
the means to organize and optimize society. The world rulers have plenty
of use for billions of abject slaves on their knees praying to
fictitious, invisible gods, and no use for billions of rational and
logical men and women who can see through every lie the elite tell them
to exploit them.
Reason and logic are the means to achieve human
liberation. That’s why the elite have ensured that reason and logic are
never taught, and everyone is instead subjected to insane religious
faith and mysticism.
Free yourself. Embrace reason and logic. Sapere aude.
In the movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", two lovers
squabble and fall out. First the woman and then the man decide to avail
themselves of a service (Lacuna) that can erase all memories of their
relationship, making it seem as if it never happened at all. But one
last memory fragment stubbornly remains – one infinitely precious
reminder of their love – which predestines them to meet up again and
fall in love again.
Jordan Peterson must have gone to the Lacuna
clinic to have his memories erased. He forgot that he fell out of love
with Christianity and ended their relationship. However, a tiny glimmer
must have remained and now, fanned by Jungian psychology, it has
exploded into dazzling light and Peterson is in love with Christ again.
His mind is eternally spotless once more. He feels compelled to clean up
his room and to tell all the rest of us to do the same. The Preacher
Man is here, walking amongst us, walking on water (as far as his fans
are concerned). Cleanliness is next to godliness. Mens sana in corpore
sano: a sound mind in a sound body. A clean mind in a clean body. A
clean body in a clean room. Peterson wants to take you to the cleaners,
get you all cleaned up, get your mind spotless, get you back to
Christianity, the religion of immaculately clean rooms and immaculately
clean wombs.
In fact, Christianity is the Immaculate
Misconception, the Original Sin, the sanctified Lie, mass deceit
solemnly pronounced holy in front of the trembling crowds, desperate to
have their desperate lives touched with the numinous. Henry David
Thoreau said, “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and die with
their song still inside them.” Christianity is the most desperate song
of all, the one at the bottom of the barrel, for those with nothing left
to scrape. Beneath the barrel is the abyss itself. As Nietzsche said,
“And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.”
Abyss-gazing is what all Christians wish to avoid.
Peterson must
also have erased all memories of Nietzsche’s philosophy, or remembered
it so badly that he has now inverted it. He preaches the exact opposite
of all of Nietzsche’s radical conclusions. Where Nietzsche gleefully
declared that God is dead and we have killed him, Peterson says that God
is alive and we have resurrected him. God is back, bigger and badder
than ever.
Jordan Peterson imagines he has a spotless mind. In
fact, it’s filthy. This book deconstructs his worldview and shows how
dirt-encrusted it is. If you want the Truth of reality, come inside and
discover the real Truth. You won’t like it, but Truth is under no
obligation to be what you want it to be.
Peterson claims that the
Truth is “Darwinian”. In fact, it is eternal. It is perfect, immutable
and absolute. It has never evolved. It cannot evolve. It is what it is
permanently and ineradicably.
Darwinism relates to the temporal
and contingent world of becoming. The Truth relates to the eternal and
necessary world of being. All Darwinian “truths” are lies. Evolution is
not predicated on the promotion of Truth. It is all about survival and
reproduction, regarding which lies have proved astoundingly effective,
which is why all humans, whether they admit it or not, are consummate
liars.
The Lie is archetypally Darwinian: ever-mutating and
constantly subject to natural selection, producing the survival of the
“fittest” lies, the most adaptive and useful lies – lies for living. As
Hitler said, “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently
enough, it will be believed. … the broad masses of a nation … more
readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie…”
The biggest
lies are the most Darwinian lies, those most naturally selected by the
masses. The people love whoppers, the bigger the better. Humans are a
Pinocchio species. They can’t get enough of lies and lying.
Will we ever have a humanity that craves the truth? It will be nothing like Humanity 1.0.
Freak, monster, Satanist, sicko, weirdo, idiot, Luciferian, demon,
defiler, devil, necromancer ... rinse, repeat. The insults for shock
artist Morgue come thick and fast. They seek him here, they seek him
there, those trolls seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven? Is he in hell?
Is he a fraud? Has he gone rogue? That damned, elusive fiend that
belongs in a prison cell. The trolls are never short of abuse and
vitriol for the man they love to hate.
Who is Morgue? Why do
trolls loathe him so much? Why does he trigger them? Why do they spend
so much time obsessing over him? Morgue is no ordinary shock artist.
He’s a shock thinker, an engineer of cultural shockwaves. He’s shocking
it to them. He will shock you to the core, shock you out of your
complacency, shock you into seeing reality as it really is. You will
feel the aftershock. To his fans, he’s Shock and Awe. To his haters,
he’s just shocking.
Morgue is Ground Zero of the Hyperian movement, the coming race of Mind.
Morgue
is the public herald of an astonishing new worldview, which totally
transforms how we view reality, and allows religion and spirituality to
be placed, for the very first time, in a wholly rational and logical
framework, described by mathematics, and overarching and encapsulating
all of science.
Socrates was the most incendiary of ancient
philosophers, and was put to death by democratic Athens. Morgue is a
Socrates for today’s world, and there are many Christians and followers
of the cult of scientism who would love to put him death. What were the
“crimes” of Socrates that led to him being put on trial for his life by
the citizens of Athens? He was accused of refusing to acknowledge the
conventional gods, and importing strange divinities and spiritual ideas
of his own. He was accused of corrupting the young. The Athenians
regarded Socrates as an enemy of the State, and condemned him to drink
the fatal hemlock. Socrates ranks as one of the greatest thinkers of all
time, but, to the stupid, he was a shocking threat to the old,
traditional ways of doing things, to the Old World Order. They didn’t
want his smart New World Order, which terrified and disturbed them.
Morgue
gets all the same accusations, and all the same resistance and hate.
Nothing ever changes. The trolls would love to force him to take the
hemlock. They would if they could. Instead, they assassinate his
character. They smear him, insult him, abuse him, threaten him, and seek
to ruin his life. They want to deprive him of a livelihood, to deny him
a voice, to silence him once and for all. That’s the way these people
roll.
This book is a case study of these people; these sick,
warped trolls. What makes them that way? Is there any cure? How should
they be dealt with? It’s time to take on the trolls.
We have
dissected a host of the demented anti-Morgue comments that his legion of
trolls have placed on his social media (“My name is Legion, for we are
many.”). Morgue attracts every kind of troll, whether religious,
non-religious, mystical, scientific, conservative, liberal, you name it.
New Agers, love and lighters, Buddhists, atheists, followers of the
cult of scientism, space elves, and so on, they all queue up to spew
their bile over Morgue. They all feel threatened by him. Why does he
enrage them so much? Why does he get under their skin? Why do they feel
so provoked? Why are they so angry?
Come and find out about the
strange world of trolls. And come and discover all of the answers to
their ludicrous comments and beliefs concerning Morgue’s ever-growing
Hyperian movement.
The trolls won’t stop Morgue. He’s used to
overcoming obstacles. He’s used to training his mind, to maximizing his
will to power. He needs incredible concentration to performs his stunts.
If the non-initiated tried them, they would end up in the morgue, DOA.
Morgue is the herald of the Hyperian New World Order. Per ardua ad astra … Through adversity to the stars.
The Irresistible Rise of Mediocre Man: The War On Excellence
Dante wondered where to put the angels that supported neither God nor Lucifer when Lucifer tried to overthrow God. These neutral angels were no longer fit for heaven, but nor were they fit for hell. Lucifer certainly didn't want them. Only one place in the universe would accept them - the no-man's land of hell's vestibule, through which the damned must pass to get to hell proper. The vestibule was simply a neutral, dead piece of land between the gate of hell and the river of hell, across which lay hell itself. The neutral angels were trapped for eternity in this neutral ground, rejected by heaven and hell alike. This wasn't the hottest place in hell. In fact, it wasn't really in hell at all. It was the most pathetic and forlorn place in the universe. It was neither one thing nor the other. It was home to no one.
To this ghastly cosmic interzone, Dante dispatched all human souls that never took a side, never stood behind a banner, never embraced a sacred cause. He regarded them as just about the worst souls of all. These were the "Ignavi" - the neutral, the lazy, the apathetic, the opportunistic, those whose only cause was themselves, those that never made any commitment to anything but their own self-interest.
Those people caused a shudder in the medieval mind of Dante. What would he make of today's world, and especially the USA and Europe, where the Ignavi are now more or less the only type of people you ever encounter - people ruthlessly committed to their own greed, selfishness and narcissism ... libertarians, anarchists, relativists, subjectivists, empiricists, nihilists, agnostics, predatory capitalists, and the like. People that despise the State, society, and government, and are only interested in their own needs and wants. People that reject the absolute, objective Truth. People that believe that everyone has their own path and their own truth, and that the only thing to do is to listen to your own propaganda, your own opinions and beliefs, your own interpretations, your own experiences. By doing that, you will become "enlightened", they say.
This was exactly the position adopted by the neutral angels. They didn't look to God or Lucifer or any cause greater than themselves. They decided that they themselves were the truth, and that they should never look beyond themselves. That has now become the default position of the human race, and it has ensured the irresistible rise of Mediocre Man, the most pathetic, self-serving type of person who worships himself but has absolutely nothing to give the world other than crushing averageness, pettiness and triviality. He is the perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. Nietzsche called these self-servatives "Last Men", and he regarded them as the abject final product of the human race, the total opposite of his beloved Supermen.
We have now entered the Age of the Last Men. Social media is their medium for spreading their tedious garbage everywhere, destroying everything of quality, merit and excellence, drowning everything in a beige, soulless blanket of muzak and middling pointlessness. The medium is the message and the medium is that which empowers the irretrievably mediocre and gives them an unstoppable, irresistible voice that drowns out everyone else. You can't hear those with something meaningful to say because of the meaningless noise and static of the mediocre posting their selfies and their inane comments about their selfies.
Humanity is now at a crossroads. The endgame is being played out. It's time to step up. It's time to choose a side. If you want to avoid hell's vestibule, you must rally behind a banner and give it your all, give it your heart and soul.
As Nietzsche said, "Whoever, at any time, has undertaken to build a new heaven has found the strength for it in his own hell."
The Ownership Wars: Who Owns You?
The world is
ruled by the rich elite, the 1%, the Ownership Class. How do these people
manage to make the 99% do their bidding? That is the greatest magic trick of
all.
The German
philosopher Hegel gave the best explanation. When the 99% submit to the 1%,
it's a reflection of what Hegel called the "master-slave dialectic". Hegel
imagined the occasion of the first encounter of two self-conscious beings.
Given the savagery of Nature, he imagined they would engage in a struggle to
the death. However, it would not play out all the way to the end … one would
submit to the other. The one who surrendered would become the slave of the
other, who would be the master.
The key to the
nature of the master is that he is willing to risk it all - including his very
life - to win, to seize power. He does not fear death, or he fears it less than
he fears submitting to the other and losing power. Life is not worth living in
those circumstances. The other, by contrast, fears death more than anything,
and does what he has to do to preserve his life, to survive.
Nietzsche, who
spoke of master morality versus slave morality, wrote, "The wish to preserve
oneself is the result of a condition of distress, of the limitation of the
fundamental instinct of life which aims at the expansion of power and
frequently runs risks and even sacrifices self-preservation."
The slave is the
person who values will to life more than will to power. The master is the
opposite. He could not endure his life as someone else's slave. Slaves have low
to will to power, masters high will to power.
The 1% are where
they are because they are willing to take much greater risks, to use much
greater force, than everyone else. Most of the 1% are psychopaths. Psychopaths
relish the fight, the struggle. They love defeating others, making others bow
to them. They savor the power they exercise over others, and are prepared to go
to any lengths to acquire that power. It's their primary objective in life.
It's what they live for.
Nevertheless,
the 1% are so much more numerous than the 1% that they could crush them at any
time, and take everything they have. Why don't they? Sadly, it's because they
are natural-born slaves. They want masters. They want to be dominated, to be
told what to do. They want others to control their lives, to shape their
destiny. They seek to get on with living, with laughter, with relationships.
They can't be bothered putting in all of the effort to get to the top. They
don't have the stomach for trampling over the bodies of others on the way up. They
don't have the will, they don't have the ambition, they don't have the force.
They lack the life spark. They are the Last Men whom Nietzsche hated, not the
Supermen whom Nietzsche loved.
If the 99%
weren't weaklings and cowards, there wouldn't be a 1%. The 99% actively want
psychopaths to rule them. Many of the 99% are Abrahamists - Jews, Christians
and Muslims - who worship an archetypal psychopathic dominant who threatens
them at all times with eternal hell. Why would anyone kneel and pray to someone
constantly intimidating them, and demanding their absolute obedience, to the
extent that Abraham agreed to murder his own son simply because "God" commanded
it? It's the nature of these people. They are natural submissives. They want
the strongest, the most psychopathic, to rule over them. That's why the 1% are
in charge, despite all the odds. That's why tens of millions of poor Americans
voted for a billionaire plutocrat to be their President and rule over them.
The poor love being ruled by the rich. They
believe the rich are on their side. They couldn't be more wrong. The only side
the rich are on is their own. That's the First Law of the Human Race.
The Insanity Wars: Why People Are Crazier Than Ever
We are locked in
the Insanity Wars. The world is not plagued by undead zombies, but by very much
alive lunatics. They don't lurch around aimlessly. They busily make fake news,
they laugh at experts, they ignore anyone with qualifications, they produce
alternative facts and parallel realities. Madness is their trade, and they're
very good at it. Derangement is now the most profitable business in the world.
If you're not demented, you're not trying hard enough. You need to get out
more.
Modern culture
is an Insanity Generator. Social media is relentlessly magnifying hysteria,
faith, mysticism and irrationalism. No one could claim that today's world
is straining every sinew to promote reason, logic, critical thinking,
understanding and knowledge. It's zealously doing the exact opposite. Knowledge
is out, experts are out, logic is out. They're not profitable. They don't sell.
There's no audience for them. Feeling rules everything. In the kingdom of the
emotionally incontinent, the most incontinent of all is the king.
Who stands on
the side of Sanity in the Insanity Wars? The whole problem is that there is no
sane side able to take the field. The number of rational, logical people,
capable of critical thinking, is tiny. They are drowned out by the stupid. They
are overwhelmed, rendered invisible. Social media is killing them. Social media
is an idiocy amplifier, a lunacy magnifier, a force multiplier of duncery.
The history of
human evolution is the history of the different ways humanity has found to
explore madness. There's still a long way to go, such a long way. Sanity is the
last thing humanity will try … if it's still around to make the attempt.
Survival is not compulsory. The unchecked rise of insanity is an extinction
level event.
Character Wars: America's Failing Character
America is
having a nervous breakdown. Its national character has fragmented. Americans no
longer stand united, and they never will again. They are at each other's
throats. What happened? What went wrong?
This is the
strange tale of how America is being destroyed by its conflicting character
types. Even worse, this is a problem that cannot be resolved. There is no
"one-size-fits-all" set of policies that can accommodate character types that
seek radically different things. This makes consensual government impossible.
Oswald Spengler,
in his apocalyptic masterpiece "The Decline of the West", wrote,
"2000-2200: Formation of Caesarism. Victory of force politics over money.
Increasing primitiveness of political forms. Inward decline of the nations into
a formless population, and Constitution thereof as an imperium of gradually
increasing crudity of despotism."
America, with
the advent of Donald Trump, has entered its Caesarian period. Things will never
be the same again. When Trump's regime is over there will be no return to
liberal democrats such as Barack Obama. The left and the right will both turn
to increasingly polarizing "Strong Man" candidates. The political atmosphere
will become toxic.
The Trump
Presidency signals the definitive end of America power. America will now spend
decades futilely trying to resolve its internal contradictions and tensions. If
it were smart, America would split in two. Otherwise, it will be permanently
divided against itself, and will never prosper. It must "become all one thing
or all the other" - conservative or liberal. It can't have it both ways.
The Liberty Wars: The Trump Time Bomb
Trump is in the
White House. Forget the Culture Wars, the Liberty Wars are about to erupt on
the grand, apocalyptic scale.
Do you know the
difference between positive and negative liberty? You had better find out fast.
They define the world we live in, and the immense conflicts to come.
In his
monumental work "The Will To Power", the German philosopher Nietzsche
wrote, "Of what is great one must either be silent or speak with
greatness. ... What I relate is the history of the next two centuries. I
describe what is coming, what can no longer come differently: the advent of
nihilism. This history can be related even now; for necessity itself is at work
here. This future speaks even now in a hundred signs, this destiny announces
itself everywhere; for this music of the future all ears are cocked even now.
For some time now, our whole culture has been moving as toward a catastrophe,
with a tortured tension that is growing from decade to decade: restlessly,
violently, headlong, like a river that wants to reach the end, that no longer
reflects, that is afraid to reflect."
Nihilism has
arrived, exactly as Nietzsche predicted at the end of the 19th century. We are
now in the grip of the most incredible forces. The elites have lost control.
Anything could happen. Oswald Spengler's chilling Decline of the West now seems
like commentary rather than prophecy.
The present book
is about how we came to be in exactly the situation announced by Nietzsche and
Spengler. "Blood and Soil" are lined up against "Money and
Democracy", and there can only be one winner. We have entered what
Spengler called the age of Caesarism, where strutting, narcissistic Caesars -
bewitching demagogues and populists - battle each other for supremacy, using
the masses as their weapons. None other than your ultimate identity - who you
consider yourself to be in your fundamental core - is what is at stake.
With which
Caesar will you make your stand?
Conservatives
will fight Liberals. Libertarians will fight Conservatives. The Progressive
Left of Jacobins will fight the Regressive Left of multiculturalism, liberalism
and political correctness. The weak will never survive. Extreme Darwinism will
be in our midst, stalking all of us.
At the heart of
all these conflicts are the two decisive concepts of "sacred" (the
basis of everything we love), and "profane" (the basis of everything
we fear and hate).
Positive and
negative liberty are inextricably entwined with the sacred and profane. It's
exactly because most of us can't get anywhere near agreement on what is sacred
and what is profane that we now live in such a toxic, divisive world.
Where do you
stand in the Liberty Wars? This book will help you to work out where you want
to be and where you need to be. Your very survival, and the prosperity of your
family, will depend on what choices and alliances you make in the Liberty Wars.
Politics has
failed. The advent of Donald Trump - a Plutocrat with zero political experience
- as the President of the USA shows that democracy is now coming to its end. If
the President can be a non-politician, a demagogue of the old school, why do we
need any politicians at all? What have the politicians ever done for us? The
Reckoning is here.
First there was
Brexit, then there was Trump. All the dominoes are falling. Buckle up. It's
going to be one hell of a ride.
"The hottest places in Hell are reserved for
those who in time of moral crisis preserve their neutrality." - John F.
Kennedy
The Intelligence Wars: Logos Versus Mythos
The most
apocalyptic war of all is coming. The battleground of Har Megiddo (Armageddon)
is being prepared even now. The war will not be between the forces of good and
evil, believers and non-believers, but between the intelligent and the stupid.
Intelligent humanity - 10% of the human race - will take on Stupid humanity,
the remaining 90% of humanity.
The legions of
dunces, clowns, idiots and Dunning-Kruger fantasists will expect to use their
sheer force of numbers to overwhelm the smart. But they will never even see
their enemy, let alone engage them. The smart people will be using weapons that
they will deploy from thousands of miles away. The dunces won't know what hit them.
They will be praying to their gods, or meditating, when they are engulfed by
the Apocalypse. Too late, they will grasp that knowledge is power, that prayers
and meditation have never achieved a single worthwhile thing, and that smart
people, not stupid people, can build the deadliest weapons humanity has
ever known.
The Logos
species have always lacked the will to beat the stupid Mythos species. Once
they have the will, nothing will stop them.
The End Game is coming. It's time to choose your side. Will you stand with the smart or the
stupid on the slopes of Har Megiddo?
The Prophet of War: The Downfall of the West
The West is in
cataclysmic decline. Most Westerners don't realize it, just as the citizens of
the Roman Empire in its last years were barely aware that their way of life was
nearing its end. In the famous metaphor of the boiling frog, if you put a frog
in tepid water and then slowly bring the water to the boil, the frog will fail
to perceive the danger and be cooked alive. Western culture is being boiled bit
by bit and no one understands what it is happening.
How can you save
a declining culture? What actions must be taken?
In his magnum
opus "The Decline of the West", published at the end of World War
One, the German thinker Oswald Spengler provided a panoramic vision of a
decaying civilization. In his theory, there is no escape from our fate.
However, ironically, the very fact of his theory provides a way out. Before his
work, people would not have comprehended the process they were in, hence could
take no remedial action. Because they didn't know what the question was, they
couldn't find an answer. Now, thanks to Spengler and others, we know the
primary reasons why things are failing, and it's this knowledge that can save
us … if we have the will to implement the solutions.
There is nothing
more fatal than the relentless loss of will and resolve in a society. When a
people becomes weak-willed, it's certain to be conquered by a stronger-willed
people. That's the law of life. Therefore, the real problem is how to
reinvigorate a people, to give them the same strength of will as their
ancestors, the great pioneers, explorers, builders and conquerors.
This book is
about the theories of Spengler and the theorists inspired by him about how and
why cultures and civilizations come to an end, about how they lose their energy
and dominance and become weak and second-rate.
Above all, it's
about the means to reverse the decline and to build more glorious cultures and
civilizations than have ever existed before.
Humanity's glory
hasn't reached its end. It has only just begun.
Dumbocalypse Now: The First Dunning-Kruger President
"As democracy is
perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner
soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land
will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by
a downright moron." - H. L. Mencken
The Moronarchy is upon us. Welcome to the
Dumbocalypse. The Dumbageddon Conspiracy has finally paid off. Freedumb and
Dumbocracy have reached their logical conclusion. How did we get here? We can
thank the Dunning-Kruger effect, the most powerful and disturbing force in the
world today ... the force of human stupidity, the greatest destroyer and
wrecker there has ever been. Come and explore the bizarre world of idiots, of
the Confederacy of Dunces, of the Dunciad.
