The Amish and the Benefits of Stoicism

This  and this  are interesting videos that look into the lives of the Amish  (there are several other ones as well). 

I could probably never pull off such a lifestyle. For one thing, I’m not particularly religious, though I can respect those who have faith in a stabilizing belief system.

I admire these people. To be sure, they no doubt encounter the same difficulties that occur in human relations and personal failing among all of us, but…


Generally speaking, I’m impressed by what I see as decent people and decent living. They really do seem to adhere to standards of living that are light on modern distractions but rich in simpler things.  Amazingly, they seem to have pulled off a legitimate communal sense (responsible assistance to friends and neighbors) without the ugly aftertaste of imposed state run communalism or cold ideological commands to obey administrative hierarchies. 


Decades ago, many among the “hippie” movement would say, “If it feels good, do it.”  ‘Sounds reasonable. The Epicurian cultivation of pleasure is as old as the cave, but it’s no way to run a civilization. “Man [and, of course, woman] does not live by [Id] alone.”  No one can say they are immune to the lure of indulgence but it’s clear that the most satisfied among us know when to restrain impulse and recognize the value of disciplined restraint.


Old virtues may be seen by many as untimely to present circumstance but simple things like hard work, self-educating (reading), and perception of the world as a place with meaning are clearly better ways to live than our current equivalent of junk food for the soul.


Living a simple life isn’t for everyone, but leading a decent life should be. Virtue is…virtuous.


The pursuit of knowledge and beauty, measured progress, and balance in worldly affairs need not only be the values of old Classic Greek and Roman philosophers,… or farmers in Ohio and Pennsylvania. 


                                                                        **************


As somewhat of an aside. The film, “The Village.  is brilliant in addressing the difficulty in trying to protect each other from the horrors of modern living.

Open Borders

an open wound  with plenty of hypocrisy. 


 

Synchronicity

I thought it was a classic “synchronicity” when a Japanese television station aired the first half of the Film “Titanic” this week, within days of the recent disaster that killed five people seeking to see the famed ship’s wreckage. Surly plans had been made for showing the film before the deadly implosion.


And now, another one.


I’ve always been intrigued by synchronicities, and I’ve had some wild ones. Have you ever walked down a quiet empty street late at night at a random time, seen headlights in the distance and eventually had to stop walking as the sole car seen anywhere turned into its residence directly in front of you? This is a manifestation of what I’ve come to see as a sort of quality “gravity.”  The famed psychologist Carl Jung described this phenomena as a tendency for like things “wanting” to occur together.  Sometimes it appears that time and space intersect and “charge” a moment and location. 


Another common but impressive synchronicity that happens to me often is that I’ll be writing and, as I write an individual word, someone on the television or YouTube will utter the exact word. Sometimes these have been words rarely used in common conversation.  I no longer view these things in awe but they do elicit a puzzled smile.


While many see such occurences in a mystical light, I prefer to see them as a natural phenomena — impressive but ultimately no more so than the magical phenomena that occur in nature regularly.  Quality and attributes exist on a spectrum.  Everything has an affinity to something else in degrees of harmony and dissonance.  We can coordinate colors, flavors, and musical notes in levels of harmony or discord.  When coincidence displays things of like substance before us, we can certainly marvel at the order in it all.


On a few occasions, I’ve looked forward to seeing a great work of classical music and created an astrological horoscope for the first performance of the work and the composer who wrote it.  When viewing the predictive “transits” in the chart, there are inevitably significant configurations almost to suggest that the entity (person, music, institution, etc.) is being activated on a certain schedule of sorts.   I’d quickly note that when the Soviet Union was experiencing its dissolution, very significant transits were occuring to the horoscope for the entitiy’s “birth.” And, that’s not all; equally significant transits to the chart of the long dead Karl Marx — layers of relationship unfolding. 


The next time you experience a “coincidence,” ask yourself what is actually manifesting before your eyes and what it says about this Matrix-like world we inhabit. Then, knowingly smile and carry on.

Biden Corruption, FBI Corruption, and Some

 slimy issues with Christopher Wray.

This content creator is excellent. If the issues surrounding multiple corruptions in the Biden family and FBI are a little confusing, this guy sets the record strait in concise terms. As a bonus, we get to find out some things about the head of the FBI that we didn’t know…(second half of the video).


 

The Good Manners Police

 at it again.  Don’t forget to use the salad fork when appropriate, comrade.

 Thank you, Democrats.

Absolutely disgusting. From the Saul Alinsky / Obama school of politics at any price.  The bottom line for the left is to get as many “migrants” into the country as possible who will later be granted voting rights and overwhelmingly vote for a one-party leftist dictatorship.  In spite of massive amounts of drugs entering the country, rape, violence and wanton murder, all that matters to leftist philosophy is the acquisition of power. Once they have that power, they will rule over every aspect of our lives…”for the greater good.”  Collectivism is at the root of all contemporary evils. 


 

It’s Absolutely Sickening

that the establishment state-aligned media is deliberately hiding this from the public.   

While they twist and manipulate important events around us, they’ve become quite open in their alliance with the Democrat-run mega-state. The most corrupt actions are now implemented in stride — because they can.


 

Classic Democrat Policy in Action

 Chaos, inefficiency, and “America [Last].”

Trump on Trial…again

 This is by far the best overview I’ve seen of the entire Trump bogus indictment scenario.  


 

The Ascendant State Supreme

 The single greatest issue facing America is a government that is completely out of control and many in the population that think that’s okay.  Anyone who actively wants the government to continue its path to unbridled power is a total fool.

The Real

 January 6th  If your time is limited, at least view the short fourth and fifth videos.  It’s hard to watch these presentations of facts and not be reminded that the Democrats, Uniparty in general, and the Biden “administration” are the complete embodiment of evil authoritarian impulse.


 

Now,

 Where have we seen this  before?

This evil clown is the very archetype of the arrogant intellectual. Envious of the wealth and authority of those who have genuinely produced something.  Slimy autocrats like Harari and his boss Klaus Schwab will have their own punitive schemes thrown back into their face at some point.  ‘Models of the evil unelected. 

Call it communism, fascism, Nazism, hell, pretend it’s art and call it expressionism. No matter how they twist their presentation, they are the same monsters that have reared their ugly heads with perennial regularity.

When the time comes, deal with them and let the boomerangs begin their flight.

A minor Clarification

 I last posted a link to the infamous interview of Andrew Tate.  It’s fun to watch and I can’t stand that BBC interviewer and her style that is so typical in modern media.  She’s not supposed to be a belligerent prosecutor.

That said, I don’t want to go down as being neccessarily a “fan” of Tates.  I’m told that he’s said some pretty horrendous things in the past (though I haven’t actually seen such examples).  He’s clearly extremely articulate, smart, and well-educated and I agree with a lot that he says about disciplin and stoicism in the interview.

It sounds like, in the past, he’s been a bit like Howard Stern in some of his comments. 

The word “misogynist” is tossed around quite a bit.  Like “_____phobia,” it’s often meaningless and doesn’t accurately describe common sarcastic comments or tacky expressions of humor.

What used to be called, “politically correctness” is just a patronizing delusion and disconnection from reality.

The Basics

 Love or hate Trump, consider the basics.  He was raided by armed FBI agents and indicted for…”mishandling documents,” his documents from his time as president, something other presidents, vice presidents, and a Secretary of State had done with significantly greater transgression.  Seriously. That’s it. Period.  


This is so transparently unjust and undemocratic that it’s almost laughable.   And, it’s all being done under the direction of Trump’s opponent in the last and upcoming election.  An opponent who can’t possibly win without massive election fraud and manipulation.  The leftist industrial complex has essentially shown us that, in the future, voters will only be permitted to choose from candidates pre-chosen — the uniparty.  Any candidate who is successful but strays too much from the state’s agenda will be persecuted and destroyed.


They are seriously contemplating convicting a former president and sending him to prison for the debatable transgression of “mishandling documents.”  …While Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden skate.


And, never forget, this is all because the left hates him and hates him because he enforced immigration law, kept the U.S. out of war, lowered taxes, deregulated citizens from the oppressive hand of the unelected administrative state, and rallied citizens to prosper and love their country. And, who do they offer as an alternative; a senile autocratic puppet of globalist totalitarians.


…Tulsi Gabbard’stake in the issue.

The Grasp

 Remember, the Democrats’ grasp on absolute power is so they can exercise that authority over every aspect of your life. They want to take away the opposition’s freedom to speak and act so that they can do the same to everyone…including your children and future generations.

The single greatest threat to constitutional Republican government and the issues of our time is, the “deep” administrative state and its affiliation with globalist institutions, the Democrat party, and other allied corporate and non-governmental institutions. 


 

Always Brilliant

detailed appraisal. 

…and, if you’re up for some very detailed legal observations, this is VERY good (skip the first four minutes). 

If the Democomms pull this off there is cause for a legitimate uprising.

“Justice”

 South and now north of the border


 

Coup

Everyone knows that, prior to now, a former president would never have had a raid at their home or any legal proceedings against them regarding how they handled documents from THEIR administration, whether they had been “mishandled” or not. The Democrats have no shame. Their next step will be an attempt to outlaw the opposition party — which they’ve virtually done already.


 

A conservative seeks to improve life for most people (safety and economic progress)- a practical matter.  A leftist (typically a Democrat) seeks to make life better for tiny constituencies at the expense of the great majority — an ideological matter — making life restricted and terrible for average people.


Conservatism seeks stability and improvement.

Leftism seeks destruction and submission.

Climate Con

There are many excellent documentaries that address the issue of “climate change” (formaly known as “global warming” and before that, “global cooling”).  This is a particularly good one.  One can see that the scientists who are “deniers” are actually legitimate experts who simply won’t follow the phony “consensus” constructed by media and “education.”

The amounts of money being fleeced from taxpayers and the threats to freedom are enormous.

“Wear a mask,” “get the vaccine,” freeze in Winter, burn in Summer, starve all year in a world without crops, fuel, or sanity.

“What is a Woman?”

 is an excellent documentary.


 

 Every person and institution is, wittingly or by default, a catalyst on a spectrum to destruction, chaos, and demise or maintenance and renewal. 


 

Yeah…

this  makes sense.


 

Absolutely

 excellent overview  of the “January 6th” Fed-scam.

Another “conspiracy theory” with obvious cause for suspicion. 


 

The fact that there are some people too stupid to discern the difference between real news and fake news is no reason to deprive intelligent people access to all news.

When Kitsch Meets Compulsion

 And real “fact checkers” are useless

When the government, establishment power-centers, and other coercive instititions are this enthusiastic about something, an intelligent person is reasonably suspicious. 


 

Another

 commie famine  in the making.  If there is one thing we should have learned from history, it’s that communist policies (like farm confiscation) always results in mass-starvation.



 

“Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”…is that really asking for too much?
