The best time to think is while running. I try to run a mile at least 5 days a week. It's not only great cardio, but it's mentally stimulating.
While on my run yesterday I was contemplating this idea that we somehow change with age. There is this notion that age equals change. But I don't agree with that. I still socially interact with people I knew before adulthood and they are the same people.
While this may seem stupid to you, I think most people think they are somehow completely different people than who they were as a kid.
Wiser? Sure.
Smarter? Absolutely.
More mature? Maybe.
But fundamentally different? Nah, not at all.
Do you disagree?
Think back to your earliest thoughts of recollection. To the ideas that shaped you. Are they different?
Do the same things still create emotional responses?
Are you still a sore loser? Still have a passive personality? Still fantasize about hot summer nights and the radio?
Is that not the greatest Van Hagar Song of all-time?
You know it is.
But back to change.
Change has become this progressive idea. Progressive ideas are constructed to be positive. All progressive ideas encompass "change."
I've written about the ramifications of socially engineered "change" quite a bit.
I've been an advocate of what I call the Reversion of Change, which I suppose is just the antithesis of progressive modernity (i.e. "conservativism").
But the progressives who preach "change" aren't just preaching political "change," they want fundamental existential "change."
They get off on manipulation and gaslighting.
The Covid fiasco was a peak into their wet dream.
It's all about power.
It's all about trying to get you to stare into the abyss and being convinced that it's paradise.
Imagine if we didn't have mass information systems.
You wouldn't know what tomorrow's weather is going to be.
You wouldn't know that men's souls could be trapped in women's bodies.
You wouldn't know that Beethoven was black.
You wouldn't know that anti-racist is just a codeword for anti-white.
And you wouldn't be reading my words well into the 23rd century.
Mass information systems don't just control your behaviors and actions, but they control your thoughts and beliefs.
Like liberalism, it's the god of the godless.
Very early on in my intellectual enlightenment I came to understand the association of "change" and mass information systems. They are codependent.
I wrote a critically acclaimed novel titled White Guilt on this very subject.
It was published in 2009, and the accuracy of my "fictional" predictions is pretty amazing.
You should check it out.
