If you blame wealth and power, you're no longer in control and are under stress like a slave

If you blame wealth and power, you're no longer in control and are under stress like a slave.

You will tend to project onto those to whom it most easily sticks if you rely on others to make important decisions for you. Why will you project like this? Because it helps you temporarily to 'escape' from the problems you created for yourself.

The best politicians are super at convincing you of this approach in life. 

For example, if someone asks you what stocks or assets to invest in, they will never be in control of their decision because somebody else will have decided for them. This will be a difficult to control stress factor for them because it was not them who decided but an authority figure or expert or just somebody else.

If they decide in their own right, even if they lose in the end they won't have suffered that stressful slave-like condition where they're not in control. They will be well in the mind still. If they believe what someone else told them to believe, even if they win, it will only have been a win in material terms. Where it matters they will now lack that much more self esteem.

So the difference between a free man and a slave is that you make the choice. 

Whatever that is for you, make the choice, in your own right, and you will remain in control of your destiny. That's not to say it will succeed materially. It is to say that you made the choice and that makes you a free man. Not a slave. 

There are many materially poor freemen. And an overwhelming majority of wealth slaves.

Do not blame wealth and power. Its a projection. You use to escape from the problems you have created for yourself in the world.

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States (UKEXIT)

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Being English the main focus is for the country of England to accede. The original intent was to ask the government to lead on it through a petition leading to the question coming before the House of Commons. This was crushed out of hand by the committee leading petitions, which was not a surprise.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. Let us call the initiative UKEXIT (yukezit) The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the Unit...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses.  It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...

Government & Tax Death Toll

I'm going to show you how government and taxation causes more excess death than any other factor, even global wars and pandemics. It is and always has been the biggest genocide of all. And its deliberate. Government doesn’t just fail to save lives — it takes them, at scale.  2–6 million globally 200K–400K in the U.S. 50K–80K in the UK Every year. Every tax. Every regulation. Cumulatively since 1970 government and tax killed between 160 and 300 million people across the globe  More than all 20th century wars and genocides combined (260M) In the U.S. ten times more than all U.S. combat deaths in history (10 * 1.2M) In the UK equivalent to 1 in 15 of all deaths And the nations with more regulations and a higher tax to GDP ratio such as the UK and US, tend to kill more of their own citizens per capita. The poorest nations have a better record than the richest. All this excess death is rooted in the institutions of taxation - the theft of private property, by force, against your fr...
