Mass murdering psychopaths want everything to be about themselves. They don't let people live a normal healthy life.

This is mental abuse.

Put the center back, where it should be. This is what intellectuals do. To overcome that fear and see Reason.

It works. Every day, another one goes to jail.

The balance of Justice, is not between the life of a mass murdering psychopath and some abstraction notion of ideal politics.

The balance is about something concrete and simple, as waffles. Peace at the table. No trash.

That's putting back the center where it should be.

However, these people don't understand, that when a mass murdering psychopath gets power, they'll starve people to death.

Food keeps people alive. You can't have Justice without food, or vice versa.

That's why people normalize it and don't take the situation seriously. People will die.

I don't get more angry, when somebody doesn't respect my Justice, than when somebody doesn't respect my waffles.

A mass murdering psychopath's life, isn't worth more to me, than the attention I put in thinking about waffles.

When I talk about waffles, people tend to not take it seriously.

It's usually for the same reason:

People gave some power to a mass murdering psychopath.

That's when the intellectuals come into the picture.

To us, it doesn't matter whether it's Justice, or the waffles. Respect for one is respect for the other.

It's not about religion or skin color.

You'll notice, because the waffles are not going to taste the same.

Waffles and Justice, they are one.

You can't choose to think about one of them in one way and the other in another way. They are the same thing:

Civilization.

When people can't make waffles anymore, something is horribly wrong.

When people manage to convince you that Justice is just an abstract idea, they can twist it and corrupt as they like.

Justice is a concrete step by step process, with a well defined end result.

When there is no Justice, it is because you're not doing it right. Like using salt instead of sugar.

However, just like how people see reality as a dynamical process, that is fluid, changing and interconnected, but at the same time, they can think of themselves as having some immaterial soul that exist on another level...

... some people made Justice an idea. Something abstract and eternal.

However, at the end of the day, when you have Justice, you get to eat. You have food at the table.

Justice is not an abstract concept.

We serve Justice, in the same way we serve waffles. Get the ingredients, follow a receipt, put it on a table.

Justice isn't not a Platonic idea. It's concrete.

Think about this way:

You're not just going to deal with one mass murdering psychopath.

You're going to deal with thousands of them.

This is a huge difference, that requires planning.

Justice isn't automated. Somebody has to do the work. This takes a lot of time.

The world doesn't operate by fear.

If it did, then it would stop making sense very quickly, as people got used to it. What actually drives the world, is that people see Reason. They understand why they should this or that.

To some, this process looks boring and slow. However, it actually works.

This thing is hard for people to understand, when you're not an intellectual.

An intellectual is a person who overcome their fears, to see Reason. However, after a while, it becomes routine. It's no longer bothering them as much as it did before.

That's how the world operates today.

Because most people are not used to deal with mass murdering psychopaths, they think in a particular way, that is inefficient and wastes a lot of energy.

People tend to make it about their own fear.

However, at the other end of the spectrum, it's kind of ridiculous. Thinking about waffles.

The Justice system, is not near the fear side of this spectrum.

The Justice system is far over at the waffles side. 🧇

People need to do their jobs. And these jobs is about somebody's life. Criminals go to jail for life in this process.

Mentally, for these people it's about lives vs waffles.

Every day, there is another mass murdering psychopath that goes to jail.

When you meet a mass murdering psychopath in person for the first time, it is a terrifying experience.

After a few hundreds, you get bored.

After a few thousands, you start thinking about waffles. 🧇

There is only one way to rule the world, which is to become an intellectual yourself. To see Reason.

You should have seen all the records we have about all the tens of thousands mass murdering psychopaths. They all wanted to rule the world, by fighting a system that was put there by intellectuals.

Power is something people give. It's not something you take.

When you overcome fear and see Reason, people will try to give you power. You don't have to look for it.

Those who don't see Reason, try to take power away from people.

That's why you can't win against the intellectuals.

Being an intellectual is not a small thing:

Intellectuals rule the world.

What are you scared of?

You can rule the world as intellectual, or you might get ruled by fear.

I'll tell you a secret: Nobody wants to rule the world.

People say it. But they're scared. Or, they want power to kill.

If you get a problem with somebody having different political views, but you can't see that they are starving, then you too are biased by fear.

What makes somebody an intellectual?

Being an intellectual is overcoming fear. To see Reason and make people see it, around you.

For example, there might some person, that have very different political views than your own. You might not agree with what the person says.

However, you might miss the point: The person is starving and is desperate for help. The person might think some, who you know is a liar, will help them.

There is no text that is "perfect".

Read Zera Jacob. It's a short text.

Some of it is wrong. The rest is f*cking genius.

This is long time before anyone thinks like this in Europe.

What's wrong, should not stop you from learning.

Fear makes you see other people as competitors.

It's the fear that blocks you from understanding, because you are making up mental images of what you think over people believe, instead of just focusing on learning how it works.

This doesn't mean that people can't be wrong. They are wrong. Always.

Ancient people didn't come up with some system that didn't function. They had limited language tools, but within these language tools, they did a pretty good job.

It's just that we are misunderstanding what they are talking about. We're obsessed over contrasts and differences in culture.

When you contrast, you don't actually teach anyone how it actually works:

It's just a dynamical process. No need to over-think it.

Linear time is just one perspective of that dynamical process. So are cycles.

That's the piece that makes the rest fall into place.

Aha! Ancient people were smart.

When people say, this concept of reality as a dynamical process, is very unlike linear time, it's not very comfortable for most people with a Western worldview. They tend to think about linear time as natural, so anything that is contrasted with it, sounds like nonsense.

It's a mistake to contrast.

However, when you go deeper, you see that there is this concept of religion that was very wide spread. This concept can seem scary at first. It feels uncomfortable for Christians, to think about this concept being around for thousands of years in Eastern religions.

This problem comes with contrast.

It's the fear that causes problems.

Being associated with mystery religion, feels uncomfortable. Acknowledging that there were goddesses in Early Christianity, is also uncomfortable. What if somebody erased Jesus instead? It's that level of shock, to learn about this history.

Still, there are many Christians today that have been exposed to ideas from Eastern religions and who feel that this thing about the afterlife, it doesn't quite feel right.

Their minds get blown when they discover, that what didn't feel right about the afterlife, was never there in the first place.

Early Christianity is completely within the tradition of mystery religion. It is the same popular tradition, but just one of many branches.

It's true that many Christians don't view Early Christianity that way today, and that makes them feel like they are being accused of stealing ideas.

This kind of misunderstanding Plato's works, made it possible for people to project it onto their own religious views and fill in with whatever they wanted and reinterpret their own holy texts in new ways.

That's why Christians got accused for stealing from Platonism.

It's simplistic and wrong.
