Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Live Not by Lies 1974
I get called cynical from time to time because I try to explain the sinister nature of our world to NPCs. I believe their lack of critical thinking as well as their unwarranted faith in institutions is misguided and dangerous. If someone is doing something immoral and egregious, I don’t think it’s cynical to acknowledge it. While it is unhealthy to obsess over it, it is vital to have at least a basic understanding of the way the world works.
I take the risk with certain people to explain things that may be difficult for them to accept because I believe that the truth matters and that lies have consequences. It’s very jarring to come to grips with how evil some people can be. I was completely blindsided by the Covid Pandemic lockdowns, seeing the psychopathic pathology of control as well as the general populations compliance in response to it. I learned that much of what I grew up believing was a complete and utter lie. In response I felt depressed, angry, and isolated. Those feelings were incredibly important in my journey of self liberation and healing.
In medicine, if a doctor misdiagnoses a problem and prescribes the incorrect treatment, the patient will not be able to heal. Often times they even begin to get sicker and sicker. Understanding the problem is the first step towards helping a patient get better. Many doctors treat symptoms, but a good doctor is able to help the patient get to the root of the problem.
SAMHSA data for 2023 reports about 58.7 American million adults, equal to 22.8%, had a mental illness
We live in a sick society and very few people have the courage to ask, “why?” A lot of people just accept it as a reality and believe there is very little they can do about. Others spend their time rushing to try and treat the symptoms of the problem. Getting to the root of the issue is difficult because it means going against the grain of society by adopting a world view that is incompatible with the majority of people. More importantly, it means embracing facts that are so alarming it create a lot of emotional pain.
I believe the truth matters because lies have consequences so severe the consequences of ignoring reality are more dangerous than confronting it. You cannot hide from reality. If lies are allowed to fester, they will permeate and eventually find you. Lies will make you sick, your children sick, and your community sick. Truth is vital for healing.
Predators Rule The World
I’ve been trying to understand the core of the problem for a while and the best I have come up with is that predators rule the world. As a moral person, it is hard to understand the motivations of a predator who has no moral scruples and seeks power at any means necessary. To many people, perpetrating a cold blooded murder is unthinkable, but to the predator, it is just a. part of daily life. We often hear about criminal organizations and the horrific things that they do to each other and civilians, but the broader society overlooks the largest criminal organizations, governments.
The scale at which governments perpetrate crimes against humanity is unfathomable, and there are a few ways that normal individuals justify them. I won’t go into the breakdown of the anatomy of the state because Murray Rothbard has already broken it down masterfully and you can check out the audiobook in the following YouTube Video.
Normal people play mental gymnastics in order to justify their cooperation and compliance to tyrants because it is incredibly dangerous to confront them, and they want nice things. This is what the social contract actually is.
We are dealing with the consequences of living in a society that has been detached from reality for a very long time. They have accepted blatant lies. They at least to some level know they have been lied to, yet they choose to do nothing. This is because they either feel the costs of action are too high, or that in doing something they will lose the good things they have. This mentality has lead to and will lead to catastrophe. It’s difficult when confronted with evil to know what the correct course to take is, but inaction and apathy is obviously not the correct course of action.
Some Indisputable Examples of Lies: -Motivation for Iraq War and other wars
-Politicians and business leaders involvements with Jeffrey Epstein
-Central banking and inflation
-Justifications for central planning
-How taxes are used (black budget and other fraud)
-Origins of Covid19
-Mass Surveillance on US Citizens
-Covid19 Response (2 weeks to stop spread, Vaccines safe and effective)
I believe in order to be a healthy individual, you have to have some awareness of who your friends and enemies are. You have to have a basic understanding of the forces at work in world. You have to acknowledge the existence and depths of evil. We may never conclusively know the truth about any of the above, but if you moderately pay attention, it is clear to see the lies. The world is ran by war criminals, financial criminals, and pedophiles. They gaslight the general population to believe that they have to play by made up rules created by decree and subscribe to the system which protects the predators at the helm.
The predators come to agreements with each other via mutually assured destruction in order to preserve order, allowing the population to have some prosperity and the population accepts being ruled by predators because they want the newest iPhone. We are living in a time where the predators became way too overzealous and things are falling a part as a result. The population is losing their minds because it is harder to get nice things in exchange for compliance. They are struggling to realize that their compliance was actually more dangerous than courage, intellectual honesty, and facing inconvenient realities.
Consequences of Lies
The consequences of lies are horrific. All of us have been impacted in some way or another. Our society is sick and unless you are very intentional, it will make you sick as well. The food is trash, the culture is trash, the education is trash, and many people’s views of themselves is trash. There is a widespread issue of a general lack of self worth and self respect. Childhood suicide rates are rising. CDC website: https://www.cdc.gov/suicide/facts/data.html
Individuals are quick to oversimplify the issue and blame things like social media for being the problem. What is actually happening is very sophisticated and complicated. Children are facing adverse experiences (death of parents, sexual abuse, violence, etc), and instead of having a society capable of helping them understand these difficulties, they are fed into incredibly unhelpful institutions that in many ways normalize the problems. Why are traumatized children being given pills? Is the problem a chemical imbalance in their brains or is it the fact they faced something incredibly difficult?
One of the premiere books on trauma titled, “The Body Keeps the Score,” outlines how the professional community has faced difficulties when attempting to create guidelines on how to identify and treat trauma. The author describes how the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistic Manual), is missing some very clear diagnosis’ around trauma. The DSM is used almost universally to diagnosis and treat mental disorders. There are some conclusions that could be made which is that the predators running society are intentionally preventing a real discussion on how to heal. The incentives are clear. Predators do not want to empower their prey. In doing some research on the subject I found some alarming statistics which should make my case a bit more compelling.
Stats on Foster Care One study (“Girls in Foster Care: A Vulnerable and High-Risk Group”) found 81% of girls in foster care reported having been sexually abused at some point. PubMed
- In that same group, 68% had been abused by more than one individual.
- Mental health challenges: Up to 80% of children in foster care struggle with significant mental health issues, compared to 18-22% in the general population
- A 2025 prospective study found that nearly 30% of foster care youth had been incarcerated in young adulthood; by age 20, lifetime incarceration rates were 42%. ScienceDirect
- According to a working paper, close to one-fifth of the U.S. prison population are former foster children. NBER
- Some sources (e.g. the National Foster Youth Institute) state that 50% of the homeless population across the U.S. have spent time in foster care. The Annie E. Casey Foundation+2THE RIGHTWAY FOUNDATION+
These numbers are astounding and should be shocking, yet they are often never discussed. Individuals scream about the homelessness problem sweeping the country and the prescribes solutions never address the actual problem. Housing is expensive because the money is broken and people have mental health/substance abuse problems because they are being traumatized. The trauma is being ignored and normalized. Treatments are being prevented.
The consequences are clear. Trauma is wielded as a weapon to attack individual’s identities, break them down to be compliant, and prevent critical thinking. Younger people are anxious, committing suicide, and feeling hopeless. The financial system is breaking down and the predators are looting everyone they can because they are the only ones that actually understand how the game is being played. The consequences of accepting lies is devastating and will only continue to become more devastating if allowed to continue with it.
How to deal with it all?
This is a hard question to answer because everyone’s situation is different. If you are moral person, it is impossible to look around and not see that something is clearly wrong. The awareness of the problem is the first step in healing. I don’t know if it’s productive to try and directly confront all the predators in a direct confrontation because it’s dangerous but there are definitely circumstances where it is warranted.
Ultimately though, I believe one of the most productive ways to deal with it all is to do things in your own self interest. Be aware, use your brain and work to protect yourself as well as the people you love. Pursue a spiritual path and strive to find a sense of meaning and purpose in the things you do. Be very cognizant of the people you spend time with, their motivations and values. Work on things that matter to you.
One of the greatest lies people tell themselves is that, “This is only hurting me.” I don’t believe that we ever get to the point of being fully healed, but we can work through a lot of things that hold us back from connecting with others. This is why abuse is so horrible. People carry the impact of it with them their whole lives. When you decide to take on the process of healing, you become an example to others. Every interaction you have is informed by your experience. One of the things that makes it difficult for individuals to find hope is a lack of context in how things can be different.
In my own process of healing, I have found that I am capable of things that I previously had never thought was possible. Having a sense of confidence, conviction, and appreciation for who I am has radically changed my life for the better. I have been able to communicate, create, and connect like never before.
If horrible things have been done to you, you have the opportunity to not perpetuate them on others. You have the opportunity to break cycles of abuse. You have the opportunity to empathize with individuals who haven’t received empathy. Be kind to yourself because the way you treat yourself ultimately will inform the way you treat others.
I’m writing this not because I believe that everything is hopeless and we should all be black pilled. I am writing this because looking at the world this way has actually helped me a tremendous amount. When I realized that I wasn’t the problem and it was the sick society constantly attacking me, I actually began making some significant progress.
I don’t believe that humanity will ever eradicate evil and that we must learn how to live understanding how sinister people are but I do believe that you can live a fulfilled life by rejecting lies. There is hope for the future as long as there are people who are willing to reject living by lies.
