Greetings End / Interesting Times Friends,
In the “West,” more and more people lead lives of high-stress (quiet-and-loud) desperation, often caused by wealth-transfer financialization and the controlled demolition of social bonds accelerated by Big Tech pod-life.
“Problem-solution” is a major owner manipulation tactic. We saw it with 9/11 and the Patriot Act, the COVID bioweapon “cause and cure,” and oligarch-engineered mass migrations with IDF-ICE-Palantir control grid responses.
Gradient tyranny makes day-to-day life more painful, so in keeping with “problem-solution,” the system offers solutions for the pain-problem, e.g., Prozac, CIA-DEA-Mossad fentanyl shipments, Sackler opioid candy, brain chip vacations, Pornhub, dum-dum entertainment, social media managed echo-chambers, fried carb euphoria.
The owners’ pleasure solutions are designed to cognitively, physically, and spiritually degrade users.
Hold up. Disclaimer time.
I’m not standing on a moral pedestal telling you to “white-knuckle” it through dystopia.
Some people need a hit- whether from a joint, shot glass, blackjack table, strip club, or Twitter/X likes.
On a managed scale, some amount of “self-medication /pleasure-seeking distraction” may be better than the alternative.
Like J. Krishnamurti said, “It is no sign of mental health to be well-adjusted in a profoundly sick society.”
Pain and pleasure work together and in opposition.
“Pain-pleasure principle” goes beyond present-day system control. It is part of human-cellular memory. Pain-pleasure principle management techniques are found in the earliest historical records.
Through the evolutionary process, humans became pain-avoiders and pleasure-seekers. A hungry belly hurts, and food tastes good, or at least fills a hungry belly. Receiving pleasure often meant enduring pain. Early man climbed jagged cliffs to snatch bird eggs from a nest or suffered thorns for sweet berries. Fire burned yet kept you warm. Pain-pleasure principle became a teacher.
As civilizations evolved, the pain-pleasure game grew more sophisticated and complex, adding on all kinds of legal, social, religious, and psychological rewards and punishments.
On a macro-level, karmic-principle involves all universal interactions. Pain-pleasure is no exception, as pain and pleasure “cause and effect” off of each other. A night out drinking turns into the morning hangover.
Everyone has their own “pain-pleasure principle” karma, which varies in amount and intensity and from person to person.
What constitutes a “fun time” for person A could kill person B. Person C drinks socially without incident, while person D takes one drink and sobers up six months later, bankrupt, divorced, and in the county jail.
The Tao viewpoint of pain-pleasure principle leans toward yin-yang balance. Pleasure-debits correlate to pain-credits. Run the pleasure tab too high, and payback is a b!tch.
The more intense the pleasure-debit, the more intense the pain-credit, e.g., hard drugs.
The yin-yang balance rule of thumb is that if pleasure-seeking behavior causes more pain than pleasure, you’re overdoing it, i.e., keep it cool.
If you can’t keep it cool, then keep the damage to yourself or your circle of willing participants. Don’t harm innocents.
The further we move into Peak Evil, the higher the pain-credit. For example, what constituted a standard date move in 1976 could earn sex offender registry in 2026.
I think society needs to protect women from sexual aggression. (I mean the real kind, not an exploratory knee touch on a date, as per former-modern Western dating-standards). In Tao, the ethical foundation is “defense of the orphan and widow.”* That extends to “defense of the woman.” The tribe that can’t or won’t defend its women gets canceled.
(*Tao’s defense of the “orphan and widow” extends to defense of the family, tribe, nation, human race, animals, Earth’s ecosystems, solar system……)
When male-female relations get totally destroyed due to #MeToo, COVID, and future-similar psyops, the only safe way for young people to date will be via pod plug-in with virtual reality goggles.
At some point, the managerial class will likely bioengineer children in labs and incubate them in artificial wombs, sparing women stretch marks and eliminating the need for male-female intimate relations. Obviously, upending the natural order creates a cascade of new problems.
The pain-to-pleasure ratio is super-high on the pain side right now because of ocean poisoning, factory farm animal torturing, and children's DNA ruination. Even genocide is open and live-streamed with no apologies. Peak Evil is a b!tch.
Did you expect no-consequence pleasure while most of the planet is being tortured? I’m not saying you can’t have fun, but keep in mind that the current pain-pleasure exchange rate weighs heavily in pain’s favor,
If humans took care of their species, the animals, and the environment, could a guy indulge in bikini model orgies with negligible karmic repercussions, or a woman eat a gallon of ice cream while watching the Lifetime channel without gaining an ounce? Maybe.
As an aside, Karma doesn't always present as direct cause and effect. It travels in circuitous pathways from cause / effect points we may never know or understand. You’re dealing with the karma of your great-grandpappy, and I’m dealing with mine. Or maybe I’m dealing with the karma of your great grandpappy, and you’re dealing with mine. Not to mention the karma of Earth, Sun, Moon, and Sky.
The best way to handle karma is to run your program and follow your code. Your code also keeps you real. An elevated quality in a simulation/pseudo-reality hybrid like the Satanic Matrix.
In the Satanic Matrix, evil is the dominant energy. Those who serve the anti-human agenda receive temporary gain from the pain-pleasure principle, whereby they derive “pleasure-and-reward” from the suffering of others, particularly the most vulnerable, usually children.
In contrast to Tao, the Satanic Matrix pushes an anti-human survival agenda, so its foundational tenet is “destroy the orphan and widow.” “Destroy the orphan and widow” extends to destroy the family, tribe, nation, human race, animals, Earth's ecosystems, solar system…….
Peak Evil energy-flows work in symbiosis and contain predictable patterns, as everything runs on the same universal operating system platform, both “good & evil.” As “evil” is the dominant energy force in the Satanic Matrix, morons are able to rule over us. All they need do is sit back and let the dark energy do its thing.
Tao views “purpose” as an excellent pro-survival way to balance the pain-pleasure principle. A sane society would assist its citizens in discovering and fulfilling their purpose, which on a macro-level, works in harmony with the “purpose” of the society, creating win-win for collective and individual.
Much drug addiction, alcoholism, anxiety, and depression comes from people forced to round-hole square-peg jobs they hate for a meager paycheck, rather than pursuing work that cultivates their purpose.
Remember the rats and cocaine water experiment? In a drab metal environment, the rats became hardcore cokeheads. When stimulating features like exercise wheels and other social games were introduced, the rats dramatically curtailed their cocaine use.
Look what happened to the deindustrialized communities of the Rust Belt? Or when youth-programs are cut to pay for MIC-wars. Strip environmental resources and social networks, and crime, substance abuse, and poverty proliferate. Like their counterparts in nature, human ecosystems are fragile.
From the pain-pleasure principle comes “morals.”
“Morals” are different from “ethics.”
Morals change. Ethics remain constant.
Tao places ethics above morals.
In a rainforest tribe, a woman walks around topless with no issues. In New York City, she might get a summons, and in Afghanistan, she takes serious heat.
In many American cities, people buy weed legally in neighborhood dispensaries. In other countries, purchasing that same weed earns a lengthy prison stay or death sentence.
The aforementioned examples involve morality. Morals change from culture to culture.
In all the aforementioned cultures, snatching a baby from its mother’s arms and smashing its skull against a tree garners sanctions. That is an extreme example of breaking an ethics law. Ethics are universal.
When we get into “killing” in general, it goes gray or “moral.” Most societies permit killing with a license, e.g., war, policing, court-ordered death sentences. Ethics enter when determining whether the license is valid on a level that transcends custom / culture and or holds up to scrutiny within its space-time context.
As a general rule, followers of Tao oppose the death penalty. Too many innocent people died at the hands of the state. The state that kills an innocent man kills itself. That’s why the former United States republic is already dead. The body count went too high.
“Judge not, lest ye be judged,” says the Bible. The United States “judged” its prisoners, Korea, Cuba, Iran, Vietnam, Panama, Chile, Guatemala, Honduras, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela, Gaza, human DNA, Miss America……
When it comes to judgement via capital punishment, politicians and bankers fall into the “different bird” category as it’s impossible to kill an innocent one- ha ha ha. “With great power comes great responsibility,” so the penalty for transgression becomes more severe for higher rank. “The fish rots from the head down,” as they say.
Ethics are pro-survival. Un-ethics are anti-survival. The game is survival.
You survive (cognitively, physically, spiritually) by following your code. Physical survival is incomplete without cognitive and spiritual survival. Your code is based on ethics. Therefore, a solid code should be pro-survival because a solid code generates solid programs that promote survival.
Morals can be pro-survival or anti-survival, depending on their context in space-time. Ideally, ethics and morals sync up.
When you get into morality, you get into “vice energy,” which is an outgrowth of pain-pleasure principle. As energy can’t be created or destroyed, all you can do with “vice energy” is contain it in the small circle of the yin-yang quadrant, keeping it away from non-harlot women, children, and families who live in the large quadrant of the yin-yang.
Venture capitalists took pornography out of the small “redlight district” circle and disseminated it throughout the entire yin-yang quadrant, exposing it to families, non-harlot women, and children, which created imbalance and insanity.
Conversely, when a society runs a hardcore Puritan Program that tries to stamp out all vice, it channels the vice energy into weird transmutations. Like burning goth girls and eccentric cat ladies at the stake.
Look what happened in the US with “Alcohol Prohibition” and the “War on Drugs.”
Tao follows the natural order. To reiterate physics law: “Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.”
An alternative to containment is sublimation, i.e., transforming the vice energy into frequencies that flow harmoniously within human neural networks. I don’t think any large society has figured that out yet. Brain chips won’t do it. They exacerbate the problem.
As an individual, problems arise when you preach more than you can do. If you stand on a moral pedestal and proclaim it, you need to live it. Otherwise, you become a hypocrite- which causes spiritual weakness.
When you speak it, the universe holds you to it. Back it up or get a universal (private or public) ass kicking. In the “no-mercy” Satanic Matrix, spiritual weaklings get slammed into the dirt. Some never get up.
That is why followers of Tao stay out of the private lives of consenting adults.
Why create extra stress for yourself?
In “big picture” context- the human race is nearing a major Fermi Paradox filter crossroads. I don’t care whether a guy swings north, south, east, or west in his private consenting adult life. He has to deal with that, not me. My main question is, “If it needs to get done- can he do it?”
Obviously, groups and organizations have moral codes that they expect members to adhere to. Before joining a group, a prospect should ascertain whether they can follow the car’s moral code. When it comes to “moral leadership,” if a leader practices “do as I say, not as I do”- it brings down the whole car.
In general, followers of Tao a) “mind their business” & b) “stay in their lane.” The further we move into Peak Evil, the more important those precepts become. Followers of Tao jump in when it involves “defense of the orphan and widow” and whatever extends from that. Or act in self-defense/self-preservation, as survival is also a fundamental tenet of Tao.
Survival always factors in when deciding whether to “jump in.” Survival is physical, but also spiritual and cognitive. In some cases, you can preserve your physical but lose your spiritual, or vice versa. That’s where it gets tricky and why you need your code to guide you.
After computations, if the light turns green- go. When it turns red- stop.
One code generates infinite programs. The better you understand your code, the better your programs work in crisis situations, whether via action-through-action programs or action-through-inaction programs.
A solid code with solid programs increases the chances of survival.*
(*To reiterate, I mean full-spectrum cognitive, physical, and spiritual survival- with equal weight given to all 3. “Triad survival” correlates to Tao Warrior Monk “rule of thirds” triad warfare: ⅓ cognitive, ⅓ physical, ⅓ spiritual.)
Survival includes individual, tribal, species, and planetary, as all interconnect.
As an aside, followers of Tao sometimes get involved in code enforcement, especially when dealing with “justice” issues that involve them. I don’t mean the US criminal justice system, as that is an enforcement arm of the Satanic Matrix, and therefore contains no code by the “universal/ethics” definition of “code,” nor does it follow “universal (natural) law.”
“Universal (natural) law” deals primarily with ethics. “Man’s law” deals with ethics and morals, with morality being historically dominant.
Under optimal conditions, "universal" and “man’s law” align. When man’s law diverges too far from universal law, man’s law becomes corrupt.
Excluding coercion, the follower of Tao feels no obligation to observe corrupt man’s law (sometimes called Wall Street law in the US). If man’s law stays in close alignment with universal law, then the follower of Tao feels obligated to follow man’s law, regardless of external coercion factors.
That said, unless egregious, followers of Tao try to obey local laws and customs to keep the peace and our heads attached to our bodies. Never let them steal your peace. Or your head.
Cheers,
Richard
