I took a look at obedience theory today, it's been a year since I first developed it. The following is what Grok had to say. It was pretty good. There's a long way to go in the exchange which I did not pursue yet. Such as the possibility that deeper cause cannot be treated the same as material world cause and effects - deeper stuff is acausal yet still happens. AI is not ready for wisdom yet. This questions the points about secondary effects being important as being a red herring. It also fails to observe that most of these derivative factors tend to coalesce into the same one of the 2 tribes anyway reinforcing my political point. <snip> My political claim is there are only two tribes splitting the vote: 1) the tribe which loves this nation(it's heritage and legacy) 2) the other which does not The vote is being split between the two rather many political party's. Grok disagreed citing many other derivative gators such as wages, capital, schools and do ...

We all have to be on constant guard, against beliefs,  Beliefs are not truth, they are beliefs, We all swear by our belief, protecting and nurturing it like a child, So why this urgent warning? Every tribe has its own belief system, a narrative which binds the tribe, Follow it and go far, deny it and be sent into exile, The belief dominates the tribe above all else, Every tribe has its own dominant belief, it's everything for the tribe, When two beliefs collide, we're instantly in danger, Two tribes, are now in conflict, The motive for believing is protection given by the tribe, My tribe closes ranks to protect me from other beliefs, But choosing to reject all beliefs is a lonely place to be, The need for social comfort is great, the desire to belong irresistible, People are willing to boost the death toll of their own people, Rather than to escape the belief, The excess death toll is the price we pay for the comfort of beliefs, Thats' not to say that beliefs have no utilit...

The UK Govt is planning for a recession.  Stopping long term gilt sales means speculators cannot successfully bet against interest rates. Why I’m Buying the UK’s Most Volatile Bond to Profit from the Next House Price Crash OK, so this blocks speculators from profiting off the nation's incoherent policy since the war. And civil servants are heading off those they are jealous of, by front running an expected or planned recession. Woeful. Very much plandemic style. But it also means the price of everything will be impossible to discover, making matters worse than any speculator could and a swift recovery impossible.

What the media tells you about is a 'program'. It is not what is really happening in totality. The program always pitches 2 competing tribes fighting against each other. It knows people in general place obedience to the tribe before morals and will religiously take one side or the other. You believe the tribe you support is the only virtuous one because tribal loyalty 'rewards' you for believing that illusion, not because it actually rewards you or is actually virtuous. The more hateful each tribe is of the other, the more the program is set in stone in the minds of those people who willingly consent to the program. The wise old man will watch all this play out like a pantomime. And will make decisions betting against that incoherence for the benefit of his household and his descendants. Follow  the media on either side and you will have consented to this program and all the consequences of that. And your household, descendants and all those around you will ...

Supporters of Reform, Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats and the Greens are often warned that voting for anyone else will “split the vote.” But what if they are the ones splitting the vote for Britain? Despite their differences, these parties remain committed to an establishment consensus that places international institutions, global interests and ideological fashions ahead of Britain’s sovereignty, inheritance and future generations. Voting for that consensus does not necessarily mean that you do not love your country. But it does require an honest question: are you supporting a party that will actually defend Britain—or merely choosing between different managers of its continued decline? National decline is not imposed by government alone. It is enabled by resignation: by a people who recognise what is being lost, yet continue voting for the parties responsible because resistance appears difficult, unfashionable or unlikely to succeed. That is how a nation’...
