The well-meaning adherents of these philosophies, who are outraged at the indignities of colonial-industrial society and want to do something about it, are often taken in by the more cynical and ruthless elements of leftist movements. Indeed, organizations like Black Lives Matter captured extraordinary public attention for their stances on racism in the United States, but after years of enjoying tremendous public support, collapsed into corruption and embezzlement scandals. On smaller scales, influencers and grifters like Meghan Markle exploit pre-existing grievances about race to increase their own visibility, or hustlers like Amber Heard attempt to make false accusations of domestic abuse on behalf of all women everywhere.

Shockingly, corrupt postmodernist professionals have even infiltrated and co-opted entire professional organizations to accomplish the goals of their beloved interest groups. This extraordinarily dangerous plow has already resulted in the sterilization and mutilation of North American children, as well as institutionalized sexual interference in schools and psychiatric practices. These crimes and many others, facilitated by the systematized nature of Western knowledge and an over-reliance on experts, have confused generations of people and are a hidden factor in the ongoing mental health crises flummoxing Western experts.

Despite taking great pains to emphasize the progress they have been making with their technology and science, the high modernists are now scrambling to correct for the externalities of their grand visions. With the mental health of North America now destroyed by overwork, overplanning, and substandard living conditions, the system is falling apart at the seams and spending enormous amounts of money to keep people mentally functional enough to perpetuate the project.

The accumulated pain that Western populations carry can be seen most clearly in the youngest generations, who, more than any other generation of human beings, have grown up with social media and smartphone technology – both of which have proven to be highly addictive and mentally destructive if overused. Moreover, the optimization of all aspects of human life, taken to extremes in the age of hyper-competitive Ivy League admissions processes and extracurricular activities, have reduced childhood from a time of play to a series of checklists and accomplishments, depriving the youngest generations of the very important experiences of play, free exploration, adventure, and even teenage risk-taking.

Indeed, the high modernist belief in the perfectibility of nature has long been extended to childhood, beginning with mandatory state education centuries ago and reaching new heights in the age of scientific parenting, tiger moms, microaggressions, and overprotection. Yet the youngest generations, who should be the happiest and most able given the unprecedented resources spent on childcare and education, are proving to be afflicted with maladies like anxiety, depression, and ADHD at rates never seen or heard of in human history.

Although many experts place the blame for this mental health crisis squarely on technology, and more erudite thinkers also condemn the over-systematization of childhood, the full truth is that the psychological professions and their governing bodies were infiltrated decades ago by Marxist activists. Weaponizing the “science” of the invisible mind against Western society, these utterly corrupt professionals have intentionally perverted the modern understanding of human nature, leaving modern people defenseless against sickening levels of therapeutic malpractice and outright scientific fraud.

If anyone asks a scientist what the best thing about science is, and their answer is anything other than the scientific method, that answer had better be uniquely insightful and thought-provoking. Indeed, the rigorous kinds of examination developed by Western civilization and its influences have facilitated a slow grind towards truth, which in turn have afforded the West many modern luxuries, unbelievable creative capacities, and a genuine chance at achieving technological utopia.

The scientific method can be summarized as follows:

You are humble enough to be unsure about something and willing to investigate it

You establish what is currently known about the topic

You develop a hypothesis about what might be true

You design an experiment to test your hypothesis fairly, rigorously, and creatively

You execute the experiment and collect your data

You impartially and honestly examine the data to draw conclusions

You share your results with others for review and replication

One of the strengths of this method is its impartiality – by creating a hypothesis beforehand and then testing it with a predetermined experiment, the result is independent of the wishes or preferences of the experimenter. Therefore, the experiment can be considered a glimpse of unadulterated reality, which is further confirmed by other scientists replicating the experiment in their own contexts. This crucial part of the process, known today as peer review, is the backbone of the scientific method as it applies in social contexts.

Another strength of the scientific method, and particularly the peer review system, is that any scientific claim is open, at least in theory, to challenges from new experiments and new data. This is what happened at the turn of the twentieth century, when Albert Einstein’s theories of relativity brought powerful new perspectives to physics and changed science forever. However, whereas collaboration between Western scientists used to be more organic, with the peer review system providing a level of rigor to what were otherwise folkloric chains of transmission, modern science is conducted largely through centralized mechanisms like universities, peer-reviewed journals, and governing bodies.

Indeed, whereas the history of scientific discovery is filled with stories of polymathic prodigies like William Herschel and self-taught geniuses like Michael Faraday, the colonial-industrial system known today as “science” relies on networks of journals and professional organizations, tightly managed by credentialed authorities and funded by governments to support progress and economic growth. Although this modern approach to science provided the necessary infrastructure for many sophisticated discoveries and the centralization of vast amounts of human knowledge, the historical record shows it has left the West’s “scientific” understanding of reality open to systemic corruption and institutional malpractice.

Although scientists of generations past worked collaboratively and organically, in modern times the verification and distribution of scientific knowledge has become, like everything else in the West, highly systematized and subject to centralized influence. Many academic circles are notoriously difficult to break into for even career academics, and the publishing costs of independently submitting research for peer review are so prohibitive as to discourage scholarship outside of government-funded university settings.

The career track for researchers in almost every field is linear to the point of being a railroad, with aspiring scientists or arts scholars looking forward to a four-year undergraduate degree, a two-year graduate program, and a four-to-six-year doctorate as the table stakes for entry. Following this, many academics experience a harrowing process of finding a post-doctorate position, and eventually a teaching position. After several decades of navigating highly political postsecondary environments, one can finally obtain tenure and release research relatively free from the fear of career sabotage – although not entirely.

Obviously, while this system affords the Western intellectual effort with certain kinds of rigor and standardization, much like other kinds of organizations, the modern academic machine has many weaknesses. Among them are the petty squabbles and personal feuds common to the corporate world, falsified or corrupted research submitted for career advancement, and political maneuvering at the expense of metaphysical clarity. Indeed, the authority structures now instantiated within the scientific method have afforded tremendous subjective influences to governing bodies like the College of Midwives of Ontario, legislated into existence in 1991 to standardize the thousands-year-old practice of midwifery, part of an ongoing effort by industrial medicine to exclude traditional female birth workers from practice and make birth “safer”.

The same is true for the American Psychiatric Association, originally a loose collection of asylum superintendents and now one of the governing bodies that defines, among other things, what a mental illness is and the different kinds of illnesses that exist.

One of the most important works regarding the philosophy and history of science was produced by Thomas Kuhn, an American historian and philosopher who developed the concept of a scientific paradigm. Defined as an underlying framework or worldview that influences the entirety of someone’s thought on a topic, a paradigm constitutes the accepted body of literature in a field, the kinds of questions that are asked, and the acceptable standards for investigation.

Whereas mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and the computer sciences seem to have largely settled into a comprehensive understanding of their domains and well-tested methods of investigation, the so-called “science” of psychology is a relative newcomer to the Western intellectual project, first gaining prominence with the release of Sigmund Freud’s work in the 1890s and early 1900s. A field characterized by fierce disagreements between kaleidoscopic schools of thought that have not yet cohered into a paradigm, psychology is paradoxically the least-developed and most subjective of all the Western sciences, but arguably the most powerful.

Largely developed in the wake of the Industrial Revolution and thus subject to its values of systematization and optimization, the unquestioned assumptions held by “experts” in psychology have famously been the motive behind institutionalized violence against people who do not fit easily into colonial-industrial society, such as “hysterical” women treated with genital massage or schizophrenic and bipolar patients treated with lobotomies. Owing largely to its deep interconnections with social work and therefore government funding, this upstart prodigy of a science conceived not two centuries ago has obtained the power of law in many countries, with the ability to confine “mentally ill” people on wards temporarily or indefinitely, physically restrain them to their beds to the point of asphyxiation or cardiac arrest, medicate them against their will, and do all sorts of other things for their own good – and for the good of society.

As many mentally ill people can attest and is often memorialized in popular culture like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest or Patch Adams, the treatment from these systems is harsh, authoritarian, utterly rigid, and belligerent to the point of keeping patients with religious delusions in confinement without actively seeking support from religious practitioners. However, not only have these deeply ignorant and arrogant oversteps on facilitated some of the worst medical crimes in history, following their takeover by Marxist activists in the mid-twentieth century, the governing bodies that manage psychology now instantiate and enforce malpractice, sexual interference, and the corruption of children in service of disruptive Marxist objectives. While some of these metaphysical and epistemic frauds are beginning to gain awareness in Western society with the release of documentaries like Daily Wire’s What is a Woman?, the frightening reality is that the psychological sciences have been weaponized against common people for decades and mental illness is now masquerading as love.

Modern psychology, as many are aware, begins with the psychoanalytic techniques and theories developed collaboratively by Sigmund Freud, Josef Breuer, and “Anna O.”, which were based largely on links that were discovered to exist between childhood traumas and adult discontent. Their school of thought, known as psychoanalysis, focused on traumatic memories and incestuous family dynamics, the revelations of which were largely responsible for the explosion of psychology’s popularity in the early twentieth century. (Ticket to Heaven by Zachary R.J. Strong, PDF version, p 65-66)

[Hrvatski Noahid]

However, psychoanalysis was soon disputed by behaviorists like Ivan Pavlov and Alexander Luria, who were concerned primarily with brain activity and the resulting behaviors that were driven by them. The incompatibilities between these schools of thought, as well as some of the existing problems within psychology in the early twentieth century, catalyzed the development of third force psychology or positive psychology, an attempt by luminaries like Abraham Maslow, Erik and Joan Erikson, and Carl Rogers to reform and humanize the field by focusing on human well-being instead of traumas or reflexes.

As the twentieth century progressed and computing technology was invented, scientists and researchers began drawing many connections between the brain and their new machines. Both processed and stored information; both could make decisions, albeit the computers required instruction; both used electricity to function. In addition to many exciting research opportunities, this also created many metaphysical problems for psychologists and philosophers, as some began wondering if computers could become conscious. This catalyzed new questions in psychology, largely intertwined with philosophy and metaphysics, which sought to understand the causes and functions of human consciousness, develop an understanding of the human self, and determine the nature of human decision-making.

Despite the many genuine contributions it has made to the West’s understanding of the human condition and its improvement, the subjective nature of psychology’s research methodologies have not only laid the groundwork for endless amounts of fraud, but allowed for the corruption and misuse of otherwise-useful discoveries.

Psychoanalysis, for example, is rooted in and focused on the role of trauma in human life, a historical reality that has cascaded into the use of trauma, a clinical term, for things that do not fit the definition. Much of Western life, at least in North America, is focused on the discovery and healing of trauma or the alleviation of negative feelings – for example, it is estimated that almost thirty percent of Americans saw a therapist during the pandemic and that about one in ten Americans engage with a mental health professional within any given year. Unbeknownst to many laypeople, however, the psychological literature on trauma indicates that most people grow from traumatic events and become stronger.

This detail seems to have escaped notice from general social discourse, where traumas are used as justification for reparations and apologies, and rarely if ever framed as growth opportunities. Aside from questions of justice, which are entirely salient, the general trend began by Freud and Breuer following their collaboration with O. is a dangerous and subtle usurpation of human autonomy and robs unsuspecting laypeople of growth opportunities. (Ticket to Heaven by Zachary R.J. Strong, PDF version, p 66-67)

[Hrvatski Noahid]

Whereas the psychoanalysts favored introspective methods and subject interviews, the behaviorists discarded those techniques and focused strictly on observable material outcomes of brain activity. Although this is generally not known, Pavlov and many other behaviorists were skilled surgeons, and often obtained their discoveries by way of subtle or drastic alterations to the bodies of their animal subjects. Their discovery that much of the mind’s activity could be attributed to the brain’s functioning very quickly led to what is known as the “mind-body problem”, a central dispute within psychology which, taken alone, disqualifies it from being a paradigmatic science.

Essentially, people in the behaviorist camp believed that there is nothing in the universe aside from matter, and that what people experienced as the “mind” was largely irrelevant to the study of human behavior. This is known as monism, or the belief that the universe only has one kind of stuff. Their opponents, which include almost all religious people, believe in dualism, which holds that “mind” is something separate from matter and should be studied and treated differently. This issue has never been resolved in psychology and many researchers have stepped past it, adopting elements of both depending on their context and focus.

The development of third force psychology, in some respects, can be seen as a successful attempt to correct for some of the worst excesses of the problems of earlier schools and a movement away from a trauma focus. In a 1968 memorandum to the Salk Institute of Biological Studies, Abraham Maslow shared his experience with psychological problems that were impossible to resolve within the values-free domain of traditional scientific inquiry. He expressed a level of frustration and disappointment that psychology was predominantly focused on the sick and unwell, rather than on the thriving and fulfilled. This memorandum, and the work of people like Maslow, Rogers, and the Eriksons, gave birth to what is now the positive psychology movement and a focus on becoming one’s best self.

However, there is a problem here – what is the self? Much like the mind-body problem, which led some psychologists to logically conclude that there is no such thing as mind in the universe, the self is a nebulous concept in psychology, with several definitions competing for dominance in the field. Even more problematically, neuroscientists engaging with Buddhist ideas have put forth the idea that there is no such thing as a “self”, citing resonances between Buddhist no-self doctrine and some discoveries in their domain. This is another problem that has been largely stepped over, with many therapeutic workers implicitly assuming that there must be a self – otherwise, their work to improve others would make no sense.

The advent of possibly-conscious computers created many difficult questions for psychologists and philosophers. In some respects, the machines served as a mirror with which humanity could examine its own consciousness – and largely come away with no real answers. Indeed, psychologists do not know how we are conscious, why we are conscious, what consciousness is for, or even how to define consciousness and differentiate between “conscious” and “unconscious” brain activity. Put simply, anything to do with consciousness is wrapped up in complicated philosophy, and some of the brightest minds consider at least one of the problems unsolvable.

The final conceptual problem of psychology is the deepest and lies with the inappropriate fusion of methods used to obtain information by psychological researchers. Historically and currently, psychology has been a mixture of introspective methods and observational methods yielding two different kinds of data. However, these subjective and objective findings will remain incompatible unless a brain-scanning device is invented which can confirm, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that the self-report of a subject or patient is indeed reflective of the activity going on in their brain or “mind”. Without that, the discoveries from these two types of inquiry will remain, at some level, disjointed, meaning that even if the mind-body problem, the self problem, the consciousness problems, and the issues identified by Abraham Maslow are solved, psychology will never have a hope of being a truly objective science.

Given psychology’s competing and contradictory schools of thought, combined with its history of barbaric practices and “failures to replicate” famous findings, it is probably unsurprising that psychology is a field rife with all kinds of fraud, from individual research fraud to extensive institutional deception on important matters.

One area of reasonable suspicion includes the close relationship between pharmaceutical companies, hungry for lifetime customers, and the psychological industry. Concerns have been raised, for example, over the fact that ADHD-like “disorders” have been skyrocketing in young boys over the past couple of decades, demonstrably because of psychology-aware teachers who notice “symptoms” in their classroom like fidgeting, excessive talking, and impulsivity.

While folkloric common sense would hold that these behaviors are quite common in young boys full of energy, the helping professions, concerned with academic compliance and good behavior, push these boys into lifetime subscription to Ritalin or Adderall. Only in recent years have the actual experts in child psychology concluded that ADHD is over-diagnosed, and that these children’s “symptoms” are being treated unnecessarily with pharmaceuticals. Because the demographics most affected by the medicalization of childhood are predominantly lower-class and without the kinds of influence needed to question or challenge these diagnoses, some Afrocentric thinkers now assert that special education systems, with their plans and their pills, are destroying black American children for systemic efficiency.

In terms of outright research fraud, some of psychology’s biggest names have been incriminated in outlandish schemes, sometimes only after decades of successfully perpetrating their lies. Philip Zimbardo’s famous Stanford Prison Experiment, which seemed to suggest that human beings were naturally prone to mistreating each other, has been found to be the result of undisclosed manipulations that created the famous outcomes. The Implicit Association Test, which purports to measure levels of subconscious bias towards people of different demographics, does not meet any of the standard definitions for diagnostic reliability in psychology, and even one of its founders has retracted the bold claims made about the test. Even the popular and seemingly intuitive concept of power poses, taught to young people everywhere as a confidence hack, becomes a placebo when the data is rigorously analyzed and replicated.

Perhaps the most unfortunate kinds of deception within psychology are the lies perpetrated over decades by governing bodies, which make claims about human nature that are then cascaded down into law and therapeutic practice. If a psychological lie makes its way into a professional relationship, it can have catastrophic outcomes for patients and clients, and may even be dangerous, as neither the client nor practitioner will be aware of the deception perpetrated by the governing body. This is, sadly, the case with homosexuality, considered since 1973 to be a positive and healthy expression of human sexuality to be treasured and protected in the same way as heterosexual relationships.

The story of homosexuality begins in the 1950s, with early research on the psychological nature of homosexuality conducted by people like Evelyn Hooker and Alfred Kinsey which formed the foundation for later discussions. Around this time, a psychiatrist named Robert Spitzer was involved in developing the third edition of the Diagnostic Statistical Manual, a document published by the American Psychiatric Association that provides a centralized list of all known mental disorders and the symptoms most commonly associated with them.

People working with Spitzer on the project relate that it was largely driven by his singular vision, with a process that was often opaque and autocratic, although the DSM-III was an undeniable success that provided professionals with coherent language for describing many psychological maladies. However, these problems of subjectivity, and others like them, eventually led some researchers to advocate for different ways of classifying disorders, like the Power Threat Meaning Framework.

Spitzer’s leading role within the DSM made him an idea figure to weigh in on the issue of homosexuality, an urgent topic in the 1950s and 1960s which erupted into marches and riots after the Stonewall incident of 1969. At this time, homosexuality was classified in the DSM as a mental disorder, which created systemic barriers for queer people as well as tremendous prejudice. Indeed, at this time, some of the barbaric methods within psychology, such as morphine-induced nausea treatment and electroshock therapy, were being trialed as potential cures for homosexuality, making it a burning-platform issue for the then-nascent gay pride movement. (Ticket to Heaven by Zachary R.J. Strong, PDF version, p 69-70)

[Hrvatski Noahid]

As a result, the gay pride activists at the time began engaging in highly aggressive protest tactics at psychological conferences, shouting down speakers, being generally disruptive, and delivering the ultimatum that their lifestyle be removed as a mental disorder in the DSM. In response, Robert Spitzer proposed a revision to the DSM-II in 1973 which was not a scientific proposal, but another opaque and autocratic move guided by his personal vision for the document. As is documented plainly by the proceedings of the American Psychiatric Association, Spitzer elegantly defined “mental disorder” as a psychological condition that impairs general function or is unwanted by the patient, thus removing homosexuality from consideration as a mental disorder and removing it by fiat from the DSM-II. Many professionals at the time disagreed with the decision.

In all fairness to the gay pride movement, many of their concerns regarding the treatment of homosexuals at work and in society were quite valid. There are many stories of brutality and violence, countless stories of rejection at the hands of friends and family, and the kinds of invisible tragedies and hardships only made known to the mainstream through brilliant queer artistic works like RENT or Sense8. Indeed, although it is not well-known, the author of The Ugly Duckling, Hans Christian Andersen, was himself bisexual and wrote the parable as a kind of autobiographical tale.

Yet, a deeper look into the lives of Hans Christian Andersen, Robert Spitzer, Alfred Kinsey, and many others part of the poorly-defined “LGBTQ movement” reveal a number of troublesome patterns in childhood, which are reflected in a body of scientific literature that has been systematically hidden, discredited, and outright denied by the psychological mainstream since Spitzer’s 1973 redefinition of mental disorder.

Hans Christian Andersen, as related by popular sources, was born in Danish slums to humble parents and may have been dealing with alcoholism, the prostitution of family members, and potentially even sexual abuse as part of his childhood. In nonfictional autobiographical accounts, Andersen relates that he was abused at school for purposes of character improvement and was discouraged from pursuing creative outlets by the faculty. This mixture of experiences, juxtaposed with his relative success later on in life as a weaver of tales and imaginations, is roughly the narrative espoused in The Ugly Duckling. Sadly, Andersen’s love life remained unfulfilled, with persistent problems in finding a female mate as well as same-sex attractions that remained mostly unexplored.

However, there are resonances between Andersen’s childhood and the experiences carried by Alfred Spitzer. During Spitzer’s childhood, he reportedly dealt with a “professional patient” for a mother and a “cold, remote” father. He attended therapy as a teenager for these issues, as well as an outlet to talk about his fascination with women.

In fact, as noted by Sexual Personae author and lesbian dissident Camille Paglia, there is consistently a pattern of childhood disturbance present in the male homosexual community, and in one of her public opinions offered on the subject went so far as to say this was ubiquitous across all gay men she had ever known. Juxtaposed against these allegations, which would likely be decried as genocidally homophobic in the post-Trump era, is the American Psychological Association’s website, which states that there is “no consensus about the exact reasons” and that “most people experience little or no choice” in their sexual orientation. The LGBTQ movement has since rallied around these ideas, expressed succinctly in Lady Gaga’s smash hit Born This Way, and claim that their orientations are innate, biologically determined, a fundamental part of who they are, and therefore inviolable.

But what does the science say?

A 2019 study on the relationship between genetics and homosexuality which involved almost half a million Europeans found that genes can only account for between eight and twenty-five percent of homosexual behavior. Although this is not a perfect comparison due to differences in the studies, genetics have been found to drive forty percent of divorce behavior and the majority of bipolar predisposition, strongly indicating that homosexuality is not driven by genetics. Investigations into intrauterine factors that might drive homosexuality such as fetal hormone exposure, as well as theories about evolutionary origins such as kin group optimization, remain inconclusive, unproven, weak, or implausible.

However, much more in line with Paglia’s estimation and the lives of Andersen and Spitzer, a study published in 2012 found that homosexuals were significantly more likely to have been sexually abused as children when compared to their heterosexual counterparts, and that this likely plays some kind of causal role. These findings were foreshadowed by another high-quality study published four years earlier and seem relevant to the treatment of LGBTQ individuals given the trauma that would cascade into other mental health issues typical for victims of childhood sexual abuse, which are many.

Furthermore, Canadian-led research on over one thousand male homosexuals in the twentieth century found a pervasive trend in the male homosexual’s family dynamic where the mother was inappropriately close, controlling, smothering, and inappropriately emotionally bonded with her male child, sometimes even becoming sexually inappropriate in similar ways that she would with female friends. Meanwhile, the father was cold, abusive, competitive, and rejecting – much like Robert Spitzer’s was reported to be.

These findings, too, have been corroborated by studies of homosexual clergy members, as well as a 2005 study involving two million Danish subjects, but have been flatly, aggressively, and even violently denied by activists who are adamant that there is nothing wrong with them whatsoever.

Given the context of homosexuality’s removal from the DSM and Spitzer’s own life history, these findings are extremely troubling and indicate there is a tremendous amount of unrecognized and unresolved pain in the homosexual community. This hypothesis is supported by a significant amount of literature on LGBTQ mental health, including studies that find homosexual and bisexual men are nearly three times as promiscuous as heterosexual men, are more likely to have been paid for sex, and engage in extreme sexual acts significantly more often. Non-heterosexuals are much more likely to be dependent on drugs and are more likely to have a diagnosed disorder such as bipolar, panic disorder, borderline personality disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. (Ticket to Heaven by Zachary R.J. Strong, PDF version, p 72)

[Hrvatski Noahid]

In the context of monogamous same-sex relationships, which are rarer than admitted despite the fierce fight for their recognition, homosexual relationships are more unstable and likely to be plagued by infidelity as well as more violent: male-male partners are just as likely to be violent as heterosexual couples, if not more, and lesbian pairings are the most violent kind of relationship.

The metaphysical switcheroo perpetrated by Robert Spitzer in 1973 was not entirely a terrible thing, as it catalyzed the general acceptance of not only homosexuals, but people with all kinds of diverse attributes, including disabilities and other mental illnesses. Today, homosexuals are celebrated for their many achievements – predominantly artistic, likely but not confirmedly due to genetic predispositions to extraversion and openness – and even gender-diverse people are beginning to find acceptance. At the very least, there is more room for different kinds of masculine and feminine expression and some aspects of rigidity during formative years has been relaxed.

However, the metaphysical crimes perpetrated by corrupt psychologists have had terrible costs for Western nations. The undiagnosed mental health issues of the homosexual population, which cascade into extremely promiscuous and risky behavior, have been the root cause of the AIDS crisis that took the lives of many homosexuals as well as the recent monkeypox scare. Gay pride has since turned into an industry, with abused men, and now children, paraded as drag queens on national television instead of getting the help they need.

As disappointing as these series of lies have been, the rot goes much deeper with the psychological bodies. Following the depathologization of homosexuality in 1973, LGBTQ activists with a neo-Marxist agenda began infiltrating the field, eager to gain and wield professional power in service of a demographic that had long been poorly served by electroshock therapy and morphine. However, fifty years into the deception, what started as a push for mere acceptance has devolved into the sick and calculated destruction of entire generations of children, whose bodies and minds have been sacrificed at the altar of inclusion.

If Hans Christian Andersen, the original ugly duckling, were alive today, there is a high chance he would be either transgendered or nonbinary. Indeed, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s definitive report on transgender science and the standards of care for transgendered individuals cites evidence that over seventy-seven percent of prepubescent boys referred to clinics for gender dysphoria ended up desisting, or no longer experiencing dysphoric feelings into adolescence. The same is true for girls, for whom seventy-three percent desisted around puberty. Most of these children were documented to become homosexuals or bisexuals instead, much like Hans Christian Andersen was believed to be.

However, despite these realities, new research in transgender “science” has since swept through Western nations to the point where gender-affirming care is now mandated by Canadian law should a child begin to express dysphoria to a parent or caregiver. In many school districts, teachers can help “socially transition” children without parental knowledge or consent. Some governments in American states like California are enacting similarly radical legislation, purportedly to benefit children given the astronomically high suicide rate amongst the transgender population.

The various issues surrounding the claims of transgender activists have led to unprecedented social turmoil in North America, becoming one of the rare social issues to become as polarized as race. The West’s concessions to the “scientific” demands of have resulted, so far, in “penised women” entering spas and disrobing in front of women and female children, female estheticians being sued for not waxing a “woman’s” testicles, a woman’s skull being broken by a transgendered individual in a martial arts bout, and dangerous male-bodied offenders being housed with female inmates.

But what of this new transgender science? Where did it come from?

Ultimately, this author personally witnessed the devolution of the LGBTQ movement during his own involvement with it throughout the 2010s. Even in universities at that time, transgendered people were quite rare, although most people on campus were familiar with them. In the mid-2010s, however, the ideas became more mainstream in LGBTQ thought and therefore in academia, which leans liberal in almost all disciplines except the hard sciences. During this time, the author joined an online group dedicated to transgender science, and after observing the academic discussions for about three years, it became clear that the group had begun seeding their studies using each other and themselves as research subjects.

These activist-academics had also come to explicitly reject the standards for transgender care as espoused by the World Professional Association of Transgender Health in favour of radical and unproven notions of gender which have since become commonplace in Western discourse. By forming loosely distributed and largely informal networks of pseudo-scholars, neo-Marxist and academics who could all cite and reference each other, they – and other activist-academics – have been able to usurp the scientific method and confuse many people terribly. (Ticket to Heaven by Zachary R.J. Strong, PDF version, p 73-74)

[Hrvatski Noahid]

The result is that about eighty percent of children, if not more, who are receiving puberty blockers and sex reassignment surgeries, or even gender-affirming care that does not first investigate childhood traumas like sexual abuse, are being intentionally neglected by a corrupted discipline that cares more about legitimizing its own mental illness than it does about alleviating others’ suffering. Even worse, their parents are being told that the only other option to gender-affirming care is a dead child, with the tremendously high suicide rates of gender dysphoric individuals provided as evidence that they are obliged to comply.

Furthermore, the transitioning process, which involves hormone treatments and surgeries to construct new sexual organs, is held by transgender activists to be the panacea of the condition. Yet, the suicide rate for transgendered people who have fully transitioned remains twenty times that of the population average in some studies. Additionally, the ranks of so-called “detransitioners”, or people who regret their transition, are growing. This demographic, many of whom are women on the autism spectrum, cite other issues for their dysphoric feelings and report feeling influenced by the lies propagated by activists online.

Instead of allowing their ugly ducklings to grow into swans, a colonized and impatient population, deluded by mentally ill activist-psychologists, has become tragically obsessed with the defeathering and tearing-apart of these beautiful birds. The sickening history of experimentation that laid the groundwork for these modern deceptions, which includes child mutilation for purposes of research, is also deeply concerning and indicates deep corruption and immorality on the part of psychology’s governing bodies.

The author’s own life experience is proof that this rabbit hole goes even deeper. After attending regular talk therapy for work stress in 2019, the author discovered that some of his LGBTQ orientations, which included open polyamory and closeted bisexual tendencies, were almost completely alleviated and replaced with a strong desire for a wife and a vegetable garden. According to the American Psychological Association’s 2009 Task Force Report on conversion therapy, or therapy intended to change sexual orientation, this is not even possible if that is the point of the therapeutic relationship, let alone by complete accident.

The report also claimed to find “no credible evidence” for the efficacy of such practices, then concluded that people do not face a choice about their sexual orientation and that “affirmative treatments” are the only responsible option, much like was said for transgenderism a decade later. However, this task force seems to have been comprised of six activists in gay rights causes, with not a single actual practitioner of conversion therapy accepted to the committee, nor even a neutral party. Furthermore, their report conveniently dismissed every single paper documenting conversion therapy success as being methodologically flawed, allowing them to say there is no credible evidence while avoiding the inconvenient truth that evidence happens to exist. (Ticket to Heaven by Zachary R.J. Strong, PDF version, p 74-75)

[Hrvatski Noahid]

In fact, there are many papers and studies that document the efficacy of conversion therapy, and they seem more reputable than the LGBTQ activists would like to admit. One paper, which accurately described the author’s family dynamic despite being published thirteen years before his birth, found that cognitive psychoanalysis had a 30-50% success rate. Another researcher found that a similar proportion of surveyed homosexuals accessing therapy or pastoral care experienced a change from predominantly homosexual to predominantly heterosexual, and experienced positive changes in their psychological, interpersonal, and spiritual well-being.

Infamously, Robert Spitzer, the man responsible for the revolution of the DSM, published a study with over two hundred former homosexuals who claimed to have been cured through therapy, which he later retracted after criticism from the ideologically captured psychological mainstream.

Between LGBTQ fraud, the Stanford Prison Experiment, the Implicit Association Test, power poses, the collapse of the serotonin theory in depression, further fraud in Alzheimer’s research, and a general “replication crisis” in psychological fields, modern society seems fundamentally confused about many matters of human nature. Zimbardo’s fraud cast a deep cloud of pessimism for decades, its shocking revelations about morality spreading like wildfire. Children are being sterilized, mutilated, lied to, and intentionally confused by deranged adults desperately seeking to legitimize their illnesses. The American Psychological Association has even been implicated in torture of United States prisoners.

This leaves Western society with a deep problem. If many things commonly believed to be true about human nature are fictions, and the scientific bodies involved in perpetrating these lies have been corrupted for decades, then the true nature of human nature is very much an open question to be resolved. Indeed, to paraphrase dissident psychologists specializing in narcissism, most modern Westerners live in a world of flickering images, denied the opportunity of looking in a mirror and seeing their true self.

Despite the rampaging technicolor catastrophe that psychology has degenerated into, there have been many genuinely useful discoveries over the years. Many of the well-known luminaries like Abraham Maslow and Erik Erikson have contributed several important puzzle pieces to our self-understanding and have likely helped keep the Western psyche together despite the pernicious influences from high modernists and their subversive counterparts.

Some other examples of genuine accomplishments include Internal Family Systems, an innovative kind of auto-dialectical therapy that encourages dialogue between disparate “parts” of a person. They also include the wickedly tricky Derren Brown, a hypnotist, mentalist, showman, and stuntman who uses scientific knowledge and advanced psychological techniques to conduct experiments, teach people life lessons, and empower his fellow human beings.

Moreover, Abraham Maslow’s vision for third force psychology, and in his final years an even more exciting fourth force, underlies the optimistic tones now taken by mainstream psychology. Indeed, the focus of third force psychologists on values, needs, and self-actualization is one of the pillars of the modern self-help movement, forms standard knowledge for psychology undergraduates, and will mark important waypoints on the reconstruction of psychology and the blueprint of global utopia in the second section of this document.

One of the most famous philosophers of recent memory is Friedrich Nietzsche, whose aggressive style, bombastic claims, and prescient analysis have made his intellectual legacy one of the most compelling in the Western canon. Writing in the second half of the nineteenth century, Nietzsche’s scathing critiques of traditional European value systems, and grave concern at what would come to replace them, represent one of the most insightful diagnoses of Western metaphysical ailments ever to be produced.

Indeed, throughout many of his works, Nietzsche is primarily concerned with values, the metaphysical beliefs that drive them, and their resulting expression in societies. One of his most provocative concepts, later appropriated by the Nazi regime, was the übermensch or “overman”, someone who determined and pursued their own values through force of will. A person who failed to do so was, in Nietzsche’s opinion, doomed to nihilism and decadence – a self-destructive lifestyle.

One of Nietzsche’s main targets of criticism was Christianity, which he correctly intuited to lack a coherent metaphysical substructure for the values it had imposed on Europe for centuries. Writing in the wake of Darwin’s discoveries, as well as the momentous 1860 exchange between Bishop Samuel Wilberforce and Thomas Henry Huxley on the topic of evolution, Nietzsche foresaw what he called the death of God – the collapse of a widespread belief in Christianity, as well as the propagation of atheistic and nihilistic value systems throughout the void that would be created:

“Are we not plunging continually? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there still any up or down? Are we not straying, as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space? Has it not become colder? Is not night continually closing in on us? Do we not need to light lanterns in the morning? Do we hear nothing as yet of the noise of the gravediggers who are burying God? Do we smell nothing as yet of the divine decomposition? Gods, too, decompose. God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him… What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?”

Although Nietzsche’s fictional and poetic expression of these ideas can make it challenging to grasp their full meaning, his primary concern with the nineteenth-century collapse of Christianity is the resulting metaphysical and moral degeneration he foresaw in its wake. The “festivals of atonement” and “sacred games” alluded to in The Gay Science turned out to be nothing of the sort, with orgiastic destruction made the rule in Japan’s Unit 731, the Soviet gulags, and the Nazi death camps throughout the twentieth century.

Given these atrocities and the consistent patterns which give rise to them, one of the most pressing questions for many modern thinkers is how modern humans are so susceptible to genocidal behavior, both in the context of religious and secular belief. While many thinkers within the Western dream attribute such phenomena to inescapable problems with human nature, the reality is that the cascade effects of Christianity, modern European statecraft, the Industrial Revolution, mandatory state education, and psychology have whipped Westerners into valuing self-sacrifice and social belonging over their own self-interests, which Nietzsche described as a slave morality. Moreover, the cascading metaphysical mistakes made by Western intellectuals over the last two millennia have corrupted the public’s self-understanding, causing large segments of the population to become decadent and preoccupied with self-destructive goals.

In a remarkable point of consilience with the Biblical scriptures he despised, Nietzsche correctly intuited that the West’s faulty belief systems were idols, something that he made explicit in the title of one of his more famous works. In a Biblical sense, an idol is commonly associated with a statue of an alleged divine entity that receives veneration or offerings in return for blessing. Strictly speaking, this classification would include everything from Buddha statues that receive token veneration to the statues of Mary popular within Catholicism. However, in ancient times, and particularly in the Near East, the most popular idols included Moloch and Baal, both of whom were venerated through gruesome forms of child sacrifice:

“And to the children of Israel, you shall say: Any man of the children of Israel or of the strangers who sojourn among Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech, shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall pelt him with stones.”

Although it may seem difficult to believe given the natural bonds that exist between parents and their offspring, the slaughter of children, virgins, and other blameless group members was a feature of ancient civilizations. Indeed, monuments to Aztec bloodshed serve as tourist attractions in Central America, uncovered burial pits in Carthage provide similar memories of darker times, and evidence even exists to corroborate Biblical accounts of pagan child sacrifice in the Levant.

For most Westerners, far removed from the worship of statues and the outright slaughter of innocents, the mindset behind such a practice and its relation to present circumstances can be difficult to understand. However, there are several clues hidden throughout the scientific, historical, and religious record that provide hints as to why child sacrifice was so popular cross-culturally, and why similar patterns continue to manifest in Western society in the form of gender-affirming care and other destructive practices. (Ticket to Heaven by Zachary R.J. Strong, PDF version, p 78-79)

[Hrvatski Noahid]

The first clue comes from Jewish oral history, which relates that serving these idols provided followers with an incredible high. The second comes from an obscure-yet-influential book by neuroscientist Julian Jaynes which reveals links between the brain’s intuitive right hemisphere and the speech areas of the brain, which Jaynes believed facilitates not only the modern phenomenon of “inner voices” but also gave many ancient people an actual voice in their heads which became attributed to gods or deities.

There are also social factors at play in the phenomenon of child sacrifice, including the human propensities to comply with authority and fit in with the crowd. Insights from the Milgram experiment and other documented atrocities in modern history, including the murder of Jewish children by German policemen against their better instincts, strongly indicate that social pressures can override even the natural human instinct against murder and the natural protective instincts healthy parents have for their children. Moreover, the well-known bystander effect, which illustrates how the human desire to blend in with the crowd can take precedence over self-preservation, is another demonstration of the power of social influence.

Although a comparison of religious and secular sources is not always an easy endeavour, the consensus between rabbis and neuroscientists is that the statues themselves had no real power and were not physically communicating with their carved mouths. Indeed, this can be seen plainly in Jewish scripture, which elevates its criticism of idolatrous practices to satire:

“Neither do they know nor do they understand, for their eyes are bedaubed from seeing, their hearts from understanding. And he does not give it thought, and he has neither knowledge nor understanding to say, ‘Half of it I burnt with fire, and I even baked bread on its coals, I roasted meat and ate. And what was left over from it, shall I make for an abomination, shall I bow to rotten wood?’

As all sources concur, the idols of Baal and Moloch may have had physical statues to embody their concepts, but they were ultimately just voices in people’s heads – bad metaphysical conclusions that influenced human behavior. The same is true for transgender ideology, which has been extraordinarily successful in getting the Western public to accept spurious claims about biology, psychology, and anthropology. While the transgender science now clouding Western judgement is extraordinarily more sophisticated than tribal beliefs about deities, the fact that both phenomena can be observed to operate according to similar patterns indicates that the ideologies of the post-Darwin Western world, known broadly as the isms, may also be a form of idol.

Despite the West’s sophisticated technologies, as well as important civilizational advancements like the Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence, the sobering reality is that Western civilization is much closer to barbarism than it would care to admit. With only one in four American university graduates considered literate, many Western adults unfamiliar with the arrangement of the solar system, approximately one in ten children confused about their gender, and very little understanding of the “science” that holds modern societies together, the average Westerner lives in a world as confusing and arbitrary as any Canaanite barbarian.

Enmeshed in an extremely complex set of systems and unable to properly distinguish between the consequences of systemic decisions and the effects of natural events, the average Westerner must rely entirely on networks of journalists, experts, and other authorities to understand what is happening in the world. This dangerous situation is reminiscent of the European Dark Ages, where priests with exclusive access to Christian scriptures enjoyed a monopoly over much of Western thought, and tremendous influence over feudal governments as well.

Although the scientific literature that constitutes today’s holy scriptures is, in theory, accessible to any layperson curious enough to find it, most people lack the technical skills to properly interpret such works, and many also lack the critical thinking skills required to synthesize the information and form an independent opinion. In combination with the rise of social media and the popularity of thinkers like Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Jordan B. Peterson, many Westerners have split themselves into various ideological tribes with modern-day prophets and oracles at the helm. Many social media influencers have built their careers solely on interpreting and contextualizing events for their viewers, indicating the tremendous need for understanding in the contemporary climate.

The problem with this situation is that none of the ideological groups involved in the West’s ongoing “culture war” have a correct understanding of the problems they are trying to solve. On one hand, the Marxists who adhere to metaphysical principles like equity and intersectionality have misdiagnosed the suffering of the modern West and are naively attempting to systematize the whole world in response. The established powers, represented generally by Christian conservatives and “classical liberals” like Gays Against Groomers, have their own metaphysical problems which they are unwilling to examine. All the while, state education systems continue to simplify childhood, the corporate machine continues to optimize for growth, and the average person becomes more hopeless, helpless, and frustrated.

While the notion that humans are being deceived on a grand scale became popular in the mainstream following the release of The Matrix in 1999, most Westerners would be shocked to learn about the extent and sophistication of the deceptions they have been subjected to. Aside from the monstrously harmful lies about gender and sexuality that have corrupted and mutilated countless children, the mass media and their trusty “experts” have warped the public’s understanding of an untold number of issues, particularly over the last several years as Trump’s popularity catalyzed the “culture war”.

From the perspective of the journalists in the mass media, it is possible that many of them genuinely believe that they are doing important work to raise awareness about important issues. However, the overwhelming focus on issues of race, gender, and sexuality over the last several years, combined with the journalists’ biases on these issues, have led to sensationalist and misleading reporting that has confused the Western public terribly and polarized it dramatically.

For example, the mass media, now largely controlled and operated by university-educated Marxists, perpetrated a series of hoaxes during the 2020 election cycle of the United States which arguably handed the election to the Democrats. From failing to report properly on Donald Trump’s infamous “very fine people” comments, for example, the mass media perpetuated the false belief that the sitting president had condoned neo-Nazis when he actually took care to condemn extremists in his remarks. This grievous mischaracterization of Trump’s statements, laundered into accusations of racism by the media, was made a core feature of Joe Biden’s campaign in 2020 with no challenges from anybody in the mainstream.

Because the articles leave out many details, corrections are issued sparingly, and stories are biased towards scandal and controversy, most Westerners are left disoriented and frustrated by their simplified and colonized understanding of the world. Much like how the radio facilitated genocide in Germany and Rwanda by providing populations with one-sided and sensationalist versions of reality, the ongoing demonization of Donald Trump, the demonstrable lies about homosexuality and transgenderism, and the mass media’s selective outrage over the deaths of unarmed black men are partially responsible for the race riots following George Floyd’s murder as well as the arson of over fifty Canadian churches following erroneous reporting on “mass graves of indigenous children” allegedly found throughout the country. Even if most of what was reported were true and properly contextualized, the average person simply does not have the time to sit down and sort through all the details of every issue, meaning that most Westerners have less insight into their environment than even many prehistoric illiterates.

For example, in addition to dumbing themselves down for “disadvantaged” demographics, white liberals also predominantly believe that requiring identification for voting purposes is racist. This false belief, instantiated by the mass media and perpetuated by Marxist activists, is predicated on the notion that black people somehow lack the resources or ability to obtain identification. Ironically, this infantilizing and disempowering belief, believed to be “anti-racist” due to its approval in the mainstream media, stereotypes black Americans as helpless or incompetent – something that many Afrocentric thinkers have pointed out is not only untrue, but racist.

The ongoing war in Ukraine, which to many Westerners was a completely unprovoked invasion by Russia, is a shining example of how distanced most people have become from reality. Despite an essay released by Vladmir Putin on the subject of Ukraine, and even past media reporting on issues like the Donbas skirmishes before the war, the mainstream’s hysterical and shallow reporting on the reasons for the conflict has driven much of the public’s opinion in North America. In addition to fictious propaganda about the Ghost of Kiev, counter-propaganda about the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, and misleading statistics about Russia’s position in the war, Ukraine flags have been raised on many homes and buildings without the historically “anti-war” West pausing to think about why they are gleefully cheering for their money to be funnelled into one of the most corrupt countries in Europe.

For his part, Vladmir Putin, the man who declared the Russian war on Ukraine, has accused the West of several crimes and transgressions. Among them include trying to turn Russia into a dependent country, turning Ukraine into a de facto colony following the NATO-instigated color revolution almost a decade before Russia’s declaration of war, using Ukrainian territory to engage in prohibited biological research, and engaging in genocide against Russian-descended residents of the Donbas region. Putin has also spoken poorly of Western elites, describing them as selfish degenerates who loot the world for their gain – messaging with strong roots in truth, given the evidence.

While many of these criticisms could be dismissed to some degree as wartime propaganda, the fact remains that much of what has been previously discussed, from the destruction of childhood to the metaphysical crimes of Robert Spitzer and the psychologists, are testaments to the high modernist need to exploit and control in service of narrow-minded objectives. Indeed, the idols of growth, science, and progress, meta-narratives from European statecraft and industrialization that have not yet been properly examined, seem to have largely supplanted the Christian concept of God – and to great harm, as Nietzsche predicted.

Sadly, the mountains of thin simplifications and one-sided perspectives propagated by technocrats, bureaucrats, and experts, laundered to the public as legitimate knowledge by scientifically illiterate pseudo-journalists, have left the modern West trapped in an exploitative dream. The prevailing interests that own the mass media seem to have their objectives, each of the political parties seem to have their objectives, corporations will say whatever they can, and even many journalists are explicitly sided with one faction or another.

Today is the age of idols, of ideologies, and of narratives. It is the age of the cult, of Osho, of NXIVM, of Heaven’s Gate and QAnon. While these fringe groups are rightly identified for the cults they are, the intentionally or irresponsibly faulty metaphysics of every belligerent in the Western culture war means that every ideology, liberal or conservative, is in some way, a cult. But while Christian and nationalistic fascism seem to have had their time in history, the liberals’ chance at ruling with an iron fist seems to be just beginning. (Ticket to Heaven by Zachary R.J.

Indeed, while LGBTQ2IIA+++ may be a dangerous transhumanist sex cult that targets children to perpetuate the fantasies of adults, the most pervasive and dangerous cult of the modern era, which provides governments with an existential threat to drive through expansive legislation, is the cult of the environment. Born in the mid-twentieth century following the West’s deepening appreciation for its relationship with the biospheres it inhabits, the prospect of climate change that could change sea levels and raise the global temperature is now represented in the mainstream as an extinction threat to the species that must be acted on immediately.

Among other changes to Western society that have been either proposed or enacted, there has been a dramatic emphasis on switching to electric vehicles by way of government subsidies and taxation of gasoline. The industrial production of meat, long identified as a source of methane and pollutants by environmental activists, is now considered a luxury that ought to be phased out in favor of plant-based diets. The economic opportunities represented by retrofitting buildings with energy efficiencies, building new wind and solar infrastructure, creating walkable cities, and driving growth are also touted by experts as reasons for these very necessary changes.

It cannot be disputed that environmentally conscious commerce is the best long-term solution for humanity, however the solutions proposed by environmentalists are products of thin simplifications and ignorant misunderstandings of the realities of life. Moreover, the unstable and globalist infrastructure proposed as a panacea to global warming is creating not only environmental problems of its own, but grave humanitarian issues in many countries.

Consider, for example, the relative environmental impact of beef over a potato. Given the higher resource requirements for cattle and beef production, the experts have concluded that plant-based diets are the only sustainable alternative for the world’s current population. However, this is a thin simplification that assumes all food production is, and should be, on an industrial scale, and further neglects the realities of industrial farming.

On many residential properties around the world, cows, goats, chickens, rabbits, and other animals are used to graze on and maintain non-arable land while providing food for families. The distributed benefits of having a few chickens in most households would eliminate almost the entire egg industry and simplify that part of the Western economy significantly while providing supply chain resilience to households. The same is true for cows, of which only one or two are needed per group of households to provide sufficient milk, offspring, and meat for sustainable consumption. (Ticket to Heaven by Zachary R.J.

Furthermore, the monocrop approach favored by the West, which invisibly provides for the environmentalists living in cities, is specifically designed to control the entire environment, kills all animals and insects in the area, and depletes the soil over time. This systematized and industrialized solution, taken for granted by urban-dwelling environmentalists enmeshed in the progress dream of high modernism, is the less sustainable option given the tremendous amounts of work required to keep the soil fertile and the crops alive.

Indeed, reality is a great deal more complex than environmentalists currently believe it to be, as it is likely that a mixture of meat and produce would be in fact more sustainable than the idealistic vegan approach. This type of simplistic thinking, however, is typical of leftist elites who have never worked on a farm, have only lived in suburban or urban settings, and only know about the food supply chain through the mainstream media and the brochures about their organic avocados.

A relatively new talking point among environmentalists, although an urgent one given their allegations about fossil fuel emissions, is the importance of switching to electric vehicles. The “scientific” claim made to support these policy objectives, many of which are being instantiated throughout Europe and North America, have to do with the environmental impact of fossil fuel emissions on the environment. Many might believe the case is so clear, and the need to act is so great given the possibility of climate change, that there could be no question on this matter. However, this is also a thin simplification as seen from the incredible environmental costs associated with mining the rare metals needed for the car batteries.

There are also human costs associated with the Western luxury of emissions-free vehicles, as many human rights groups discovered when over forty thousand children were found to be mining cobalt in Africa to feed the West’s green dreams. This is in addition to the known child labor issues associated with many consumer goods from China, as well as many other human rights abuses tucked away under the glitz and glam of city lifestyles often favored by the political left.

Even the “environmentally friendly” option of solar power is a thin simplification for everyone in the West who has not personally grown a solar panel. Indeed, the raw materials involved in the production of solar panels, which include bone-rotting acids and many other destructive chemicals besides, are a hidden environmental cost and infrastructure burden which are not properly accounted for by the scientifically illiterate mainstream.

Perhaps the greatest test of Western rationality, ingenuity, scientific progress, and high modernist techniques of control was the COVID-19 pandemic, where global bodies were able to achieve an unprecedented level of coordination across all facets of society to achieve a comprehensive goal of death reduction. The entire weight of the Western scientific project was behind this coordinated response, with predictive models developed largely in Britain, vaccines rapidly developed by pharmaceutical companies in America, and additional insight provided by bodies like the World Economic Forum and the Gates Foundation, which all resulted in the public urged to “follow the science” at every new development.

Unfortunately, in hindsight, it seems that even the best of Western medicine and science turned out to be an idol that far too many have been sacrificed to, from people dying alone in retirement homes to the developmental and educational delays in young children. Indeed, high modernist bureaucrats, drunk on their own power and unaware of existential constraints on their ability to control reality, demonstrably destroyed large facets of society for little appreciable gain. Their thin simplification, which proved fatal for many, was the single variable of the COVID-19 death count – a number to be minimized at any cost.

The first blunder was the extensive lockdown measures implemented in most Western countries, which have had many documented human costs yet were touted as an absolute necessity by health authorities and government policymakers. The truth to this controversy, considered unmentionable by many, is that bureaucrats became exclusively concerned with the pandemic’s death toll, which turned out to be almost entirely concentrated in the elderly, obese, and infirm. Indeed, ensuring that grandma lived an extra few years while ensuring her retirement was spent in miserable isolation contorted society and destroyed countless livelihoods unnecessarily. This is demonstrably evident by the comparison between Swedish and North American approaches, which yielded similar case counts per capita despite starkly different approaches to social control.

The second catastrophe of the pandemic response was the obsession with masks. As anyone with access to YouTube can see, even particulate matter such as tobacco smoke can pass through surgical and cloth masks relatively easily, and even N95 masks can leave holes for airflow around the nose.
