that prophecy in the Christian bible’s Rev 13, the one about the “miraculous cure”, meant him.

When he does die, about 7/2y after turning absolute-dictator, he’ll be replaced by either Musk, Kushner, or some equivalent, possibly Miller or Hegseth or one of the other cronies.

Someone who thinks!

Slightly-incorrect-framing, but you are onto something…

Having women train males in social-process-competence ( & therefore in social-process-confidence ) would be good/useful.

( I’m an old male mind, btw, not a wymmin, obviously : )

The problem’s more-fundamental than social-behavior, though:

People can be in the mere-animal stages-of-unconscious-mind-development, in which case unconsciousness, identity, hormones, & ego rule the whole world,

XOR people can be in self-conquering condition.

Civilization has eradicated that from our lives.

Tribal-villages used to allow males to measure themselves against the forces-of-nature until self-conquering was earned ( a kind of training which had a terrible slaughter-rate, for the number of successes ).

When we switched to feudalism, & industry-feudalism/oligarchy, we never put a proper growing-up-means for the more-testosterone-driven humans, so we broke self-conquering, leaving toxic-masculinity to fester…

It isn’t domineering-others, it is conquering-one’s-self, that is the ultimate Male condition, but the whole world ignores that, because the systems & processes in-place eradicate the potential from all the lives that the systems/processes can.

There was an article in Reader’s Digest, possibly last-century, & a principal at a school had failed, & failed, & failed, to communicate to parents how different the learning-process NEEDS to be, for the yin ( girls, in his mind: I’m the one who threw-away the sex/gender, leaving only the yin/yang ), vs the yang.

Finally he knew:

He got the kids divided in the gym, girls on 1 side, boys on the other, & the parents up in the bleachers.

He asked the kids: “Who of you would rather learn in a quiet library?”

Nearly-all girls, few boys, hands went up.

“Who of you would rather learn in a boisterous classroom?”

Nearly-all boys, few girls, hands went up.

NOW the parents understood!!

The process required for growing-up boys is pushier than the process required for growing-up girls!!

There’s a book ( glanced into the sample of it ) called “Balls: It Takes Some To Grow Some”, written by a trans-man, iirc…

It’s on the nature of male-culture…

The Problem, is that the “education” we’ve established on all kids DOESN’T respect yin-vs-yang nature, OR different-learning-speeds-in-different-subjects, OR truth, not institutional-authority, is THE decider of what is right ( teachers can be wrong ), OR correcting-the-learning-materials-when-they’re-wrong, etc…

The WHOLE THING is “educating” our lives into defectiveness, instead of autonomy, competence, capability, & understanding.

& when you begin with that bedrock … what kind of “masculinity” is going to grow??

Certainly-not the right kind, eh?

The more intellectually-pushy a learner is, the more-intellectually-pushy the training needs to be.

The more physically-pushy a learner is, the more-physically-pushy the training needs to be.

Etc.

With the goal being self-conquering, which isn’t even on humankind’s map, at the moment.

That social-process-training would do actual ( needed! ) good for many men, due to the wrong-education they were subjected-to is true.

But correcting-the-problem required re-engineering “education” into being growing lives, not breaking them for institutional-authority’s-comfort, as John Taylor Gatto, NY State Teacher of the Year Award winner, learned.

( he discovered, after trashing his teaching-career by telling the truth, in the research he did later, that it was the coal industry who had paid for the education-establishment, so as to prevent any more Lincoln or Franklin types from occurring, & it worked )

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Taylor_Gatto#Main_thesis

John Taylor Gatto is the one who explained that a VALID ( & knowing they are valid ) child isn’t manipulateable-by-the-institution the way the institution requires, for its status, among institutions, to be produced…

but a broken child, dependent on provisionally-bestowed-by-the-institution “approval”, IS manipulateable.

THAT cracked-open much of middle-class-institution/gov’t-institution bullying, for me ( gov’t towns are worst for that ).

Social-competence, with associated social-confidence, is required, & your idea is right in correcting that problem…

but that problem isn’t the fundamental one.

( also, broken-parenting due to parents not having livingwage, thereby economically enforcing attachment-disorder, is another fundamental-cause of the problems our current world is embodying )

You wanted males NOT contributing in the discussion, so downvote me, all, but the points stand on their-own, because they test to be true, & in my values, truth has rights, including the right-to-be-seen/heard.

Why would it be my business?

YOUR life & karma are YOUR life & karma.

Commit into Eternity, face the consequences ( as benJoseph said: “take up your cross”, aka face into one’s karma ), & endless-stream-of-universe’s “processing” of one’s continuum/soul will eventually release one’s continuum from entrapment/containment in ignosis/soul-ignorance.

For judging the nature of their actions ( re what they can vs can’t actually do ), that knowledge would be useful-framing, but otherwise, it’s irrelevant.

the ruling meta-regime is in the process of enforcing the non-ruling-classes into an inescapable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon & enforcing learned-helplessness on all they can.

Unless you/someone finds the one who can coerce a meaningful portion of our world to do the right-action/right-speech/right-law/right-technology thing, all the way through,* then … feudalism’s our epitaph.

You have hit-upon exactly the perfect proof of why Justice has to be left to karma, & harm-reduction has to be what humankind’s doing.

Murdercide is what New Scientist called the suicide-bombers, as murder is the point, & that needed to be in the term

Harm-reduction, correction, & preventing-future-harm are the 3 that humankind can do, but Justice is something that only karma ( “what a soul sows, that soul has no-alternative but to reap” ) can enforce, at ITS timescale ( many-many-lives, not mere-years ).

The details of different cases would have to be the basis of sorting-out how harm-reduction & correction ought be done, & eventually the principles required would become clear, & could be codified, but the underlying-fact is that Justice requires that ALL the guilty be corrected, & the rude fact that some remove themselves, so as to exempt themselves from accountability, means that at our timescale, Justice is only an aspiration/anchor/direction, not something that we can guarantee.

StopTech doesn’t understand that when biodiesel is manufactured properly, the hydrocarbon-chain-lengths are limited to the appropriate-for-that-specific-type-of-fuel lengths-range.

NO engine-manufacturer ought have to warranty ANY engine that has had random “fuel” burned in it.

Some years ago, Dr. David Williams ( whose website is now gone ), had a paper-newsletter.

A friend of his had cancer, & was in an experimental-drug-trial.

He was the ONLY survivor of that trial.

In the closeout interview, he told them he’d also been taking fenbendazole.

Oh, well they already knew about that, so his surviving wasn’t surprising, then.

Dr. David Williams was LIVID.

Oncologists KNEW a way to defeat cancer, & they SAT ON IT??

The only site with information on it, nowadays, seems to be:

https://www.fenbendazole.org/

I’m a brain-decimation survivor, & have been gaslit by doctors all my life ( dad was a medical-researcher & doctor: he taught me to think, but medical-culture’s narcissistic, & I went no-contact with both parents, for years-at-a-time, to protect my life from their prejudice against their inferior’s having any validity )

IF I had cancer, I’d be taking that, if I could.

The industry won’t EVER tolerate diminishing of its establishment, profits, or authority.

Bower or Bowers wrote a book debunking the “hypnotism doesn’t exist” pseudoscience, decades ago.

Basically, if you get 2 populations, & have 1 population go into hypnosis-session intentionally faking it … and you don’t have the other population going into it faking,

& the hypnotist is competent,

THEN the measurable difference-in-behavior between the 2 groups is proof that it’s real.

Hypnosis is as real as multiple-personality-disorder, or as different-personality-while-in-shock-from-trauma.

It’s just a more unconscious-mind dominant state, is all.

Dreams are real, too, btw.

Lack of visual-imagination doesn’t affect hypnotizability.

I’m aphantasic: it’s wrongly-named.

It means “no imagination”, but the truth is we’ve plenty of imagination, just not visually.

Are you old enough to remember all the machiavellianisms committed by Microslop corp?

As a relatively-recent example, their Windows Vista would secretly inform MS of all the search-queries done within windows.

And … for some incomprehensible reason, that wasn’t prosecuted as a criminal offense.

So, MS was being informed of things like …

• hospital searching for “William Smith, bone cancer” & the search found the right file, & THAT kind of information was being forwarded back?

• police searching for “Bob and Alice, classical physics violators”, & THAT kind of information would be forwarded back to MS?

You don’t engineer-in machiavellianism like MS has done, for … it’s 40-years now? something like that … without making SOME people understand just how religious some corporations are, about being DarkTriad ( narcissism/machiavellianism/sociopathy-psychopathy ), in nature.

& they aren’t the only ones.

Nowadays, any corporation which violates DarkTriad … is considered … perhaps “mentally ill”, by market standards?

I’m only using MS as an example.

Remember when OpenOffice.org became the property of Oracle?

LibreOffice.org was born in a week or 2?

Cynicism absolutely is warranted, nowadays.

I’m old-enough that MS’s stealing of Stac Electronics’ disk-compression algorithm, but they fucked-it-up, in their DOS 6.20 bit me.

Assuming altruism on the part of some company … that is mental-illness, nowadays.

I’m not agreeing with the assumption-river of the person you’re replying to, but I am saying that their reaction has basis/validity, nowadays.

I found out, after using LM Studio, that LLM’s can access everything on one’s own system.

I don’t know to what degree that’s true with LM Studio, but 1 time I gave an internet-address, & the LLM told me what it had found on the site I just told it of.

I hadn’t known it had unrestricted internet-access.

Later, I learned it could probably read every file on my system, too, & some AI-attacks get the LLM to get info from people’s personal files, single-out the credit-card, address, contacts, etc, information, & have the LLM forward that to a server out there…

That isn’t a security-concern that normals would even consider.

NOW I know that if I ever fire-up my desktop again, I’ll have to rip-out the LLM’s from my normal user-account, & create a completely-separate locked-down account, with NOTHING ELSE in it, only for them.

& keep EVERYTHING personal in a different account, that they can’t even see.

That isn’t an LM Studio specific thing, that is apparently required for ALL the things.

& nobody’s warning anybody about this?

I think it was on The Register that I found that out, last year…

Civil War Part2: confederate reverse-takeover & vengeance

the war of annexing Canada & using Greenland to enforce that annexation ( severing Canada’s EU-lifeline & using Alaska & Greenland to seal-off Canada from ALL international-trade, to break our life quicker )

the imperial-expansion wars into Central & South America…

Because of a fundamental-fact of human unconscious-mind/pyschology: destroyer-rage has MASSIVE advantage over responsible-sanity, for the 1st while,

the destroyer-regime’ll keep “winning” until it implodes.

I expect Netanyahu to nuke Iran when Trump gets fed-up & ditches Netanyahu, … within a month?

& Netanyahu would then be wanting to nuke ALL Muslim countries, the MINUTE they launch retaliation against his “Israel”,

so the Middle East’s likely to be radioactive, soon, like Chyernoble’s region…

That’ll leave Trump free to concentrate on destroying all civilrights in the Americas, without any distraction.

Which will remove ALL backing from the EU.

China needs the West broken, so they’ll make Putin an offer he can’t refuse, since he’s economically-powerless, now:

China supplants Russian gov’t, & Putin’ll be allowed to keep warring against Europe all he wants, with whatever lives he can scrounge, so long as they aren’t CCP lives.

He’ll agree.

Asia, ditched completely by the West, will be on China’s plate.

Then about 7y of that Regional Consolidation Stage go on, until the “Caucasian Serpent Time” is finished.

I expect Trump to be replaced about 1/2-way-through that 7y cycle, by Musk.

Putin may be replaced too, if that’s what China needs, in their “Russia” vassal-state.

( “Caucasian Serpent Time” you can ask the Indigenous People about, & some of them will understand, probably having heard of the “White Serpent Time”: it’s the same thing, just with slightly-different terminology. Different traditions use different labels, is all )

So, 7+y from today, the Americas Wars implode, & the wasteland remaining has to be rebuilt, but … China’d be IDIOTIC to NOT launch EVERYTHING their then-empire’s got, against the West, wouldn’t they?

They are not idiotic.

That is the “CCP Serpent Time”, aka the “Red Serpent Time”.

It lasts about 4+decades…

Exactly as Ukraine NOW is TOUGHER than it was 5y-ago, so-too will the West, as a whole, in 7y, what’s left of it…

Oligarchism is just 1 face of concentration-of-wealth-archy: monarchism, communist-party-archism are other variants of it.

ALL prejudices are rooted in that, not just class-prejudices.

Until human-nature is force-changed, as it is going to be by the end of this century ( The Great Filter ), we’re going to keep enforcing DarkTriad’s rule for OUR supremacy, no matter what kind of “us” it is that we are identifying-as, gender, race, class, age, culture, ANYthing!

Nothing can change that.

You’ll be astonished at how high a percentage of movies are bad, once one understands what he’s giving, in that, about the 14 genres that the West has anchored on, & why each genre concentrates only on 1 specific dimension of human-meaning.

( & that was the genius of Star Wars: it included multiple-genres of stuff into its Space Western genre, which it created, from scratch )

Truby’s other book, “The Anatomy of Story” is also required for anybody wanting to make story work properly.

People who won’t learn from the best-of-the-best, never reach their true-potential, because they’re hobbling their leverage.

Ego consistently hobbles leverage, in order to assert that it didn’t “need” any other.

There are multiple levels going-on:

Surface-level is mere “makeup”/distractions.

Underneath that is the ideologies level.

Under that is the fight between animal-reactions vs upright-correct-reasoning, which is what is required of our-species, to survive The Great Filter, which is the next 6-decades of wars.

Within the ideologies-level, ideologies are fighting to break whatever it is that they hate.

As was explained in some book published years ago, the Kremlin began investing in Trump in the 1980’s or so.

That’s paying-off, now.

Apparently there’s some gameshow movie, which shows that upper-middle-class people, even when competing against each-other, will join together to break their class-inferiors, beneath them.

That is true of all identity-politics.

The Academic-class-system does it ( just ask Sabine Hossenfelder, who was fired as a physicist, for not being a man ), gender-identity/politics does it, race-politics/identity does it, etc.

So, the communist-party-imperialisms of the world work at exterminating any “other” who competes against them ( see Tibet, the Uyghurs, Hong Kong, the cultural-expression of Brutalism throughout the USSR, etc, for stark evidence of communism’s imperialism ), AND the fascists, with their cult-of-personality centrism, & their imperialisms also do this.

“Horseshoe theory of politics”, that extreme-left & extreme-right are actually near-indistinguishable-in-behavior-towards-others, is oversimplification:

it’s partly authoritarianism, which both are devout to, and imperialism, which both are devout to, AND it is rejection/extermination-of-diversity.

That new law in China that ALL must learn Mandarin, is simply part of the communist snuffing-of-diversity, which the USSR did quite well, too.

Once the far-right understands completely how breaking all non-fascist-will from all authority is their tactical-NEED, then there will be no pretence of Russia being Trump’s enemy, anymore.

He’ll invoke the Insurrection Act, PURGE all who would threaten his kingdom ( that is “Dictatorship 101”, & I’m quoting a textbook-on-dictatorship, with that point ), & then … enforce his all-Americas “manifest destiny”.

• annexing Canada, using Greenland to sever our EU-lifeline
• Civil War Part2: confederate reverse-takeover & vengeance
• imperial-expansion throughout Central & South America

Why should he care about the other regions of the globe, when he can enforce his absolute “god”-hood, here?

He wasn’t kidding about “Cuba is next”.

Nor was he kidding about Venezuela.

Or Mexico.

Or Greenland.

Or Canada.

Part of the problem is false-framing:

There is NO true-democracy in the West: representative-republic ISN’T democracy, it is 1-times ( minimum ) removed from democracy.

In actual-democracy, the CITIZENS vote on the ISSUES.

In representative-republic, “representatives” are elected, & then they decide on the citizenry’s behalf, what the citizenry’s being ruled-by.

Totally different paradigm.

Nowadays we’ve got the technology to make actual-democracy possible, but nobody’s got the spine to do it.

Worse, exactly as pilot’s-licensing dictates who can vote on managing an airliner ( the passengers, who outnumber the pilots, have NO say in managing the aircraft, due to not being competent, not being responsible, & not being accountable for that work ), the same principle is required in civil-voting.

People whose loyalty isn’t to the country, but instead is to some-other country, or to oligarchy, or to some ideology, cannot be permitted to vote, XOR the country’s inescapably-highjacked: it’s only a matter of time.

The US is demonstrating this, shamelessly.

But that would mean being able to measure loyalty in people.

Now that can be done, with psychology & tech.

The deepest level, though, is animal-reacting fighting-off upright-correct-reasoning.

The whole unconscious-mind ego-apocalypse-fighting-off-moral-anxiety thing, that is manifesting through all the different ideologies/religions, is this.

Unconscious-ignorance is working itself into THE TANTRUM/POGROM TO BREAK GOD AND MAKE GOD OBEY!! its totalitarian-domion.

THAT will exterminate nearly-all humankind in the next 6-decades.

The piddling little violence we’re seeing today ( 2026-03-13 ), is NOTHING compared with what we’re going to be seeing by the end of April, from the looks of it, as THE WHOLE WORLD swings into the Regional Consolidation Wars { Americas ; Europe, with China backing Putin to mow-down the European threat to future Chinese planet-dominion ; Asia, once the West abandons it, is China’s ; Africa will be owned by Saudi Arabia, too, in 7 years }

Unconscious-mind is the RULER of our world.

It’s ego-games obliterate more lives than ANY other force in the world.

We “can’t afford” to make industry accountable? The egos in authority won’t allow it.

We “can’t afford” to regulate anything correctly? ditto.

( hint: to win a NASCAR race, you need the most-tightly-regulated/maximally-efficient/maximally-effective engine+drivetrain you can get. Sloppy LOSES races. Same with economies. Sloppy economies lose. Efficiently regulated economies can FAR outclass sloppy ones, whether communist, fascist, party-oligarchic or individual-oligarchic, monarchic, or any other ego-concentrates-wealth-to-itself paradigm.

EU’s inefficiency is boggling.

US’s corruption is boggling.

Neither can compete with harnessed & maximally-efficient economy.

Paywalling standards, as the ISO does, is anti-efficiency.

Balkanizing tax-filing for for-profit-parasite’s benefit, harms the efficiency of the economy.

You “can’t be loyal to 2 contradictory gods”, right?

We have to make whole economy effectiveness be what our gov’t is for, NOT for wealth-concentration, which is their primary loyalty, & status/validity-segregation, which is what social-class-systems are made-of )

Anyways, if you want to understand that deepest level, then https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/thinking-fast-and-slow is THE book to read.

Lower-forebrain/“System-1”/imprinted-reaction is fighting to overthrow correct-reasoning/“System-2”/upper-forebrain from all authority, so then it can tantrum/pogrom & be no-moral-anxiety-LORD, with no responsibility for what it’s done.

THAT is what’s ACTUALLY going on, globally.

All the rest is more superficial, mere “makeup”.

NO ideology will adapt to evidence, because they’re all axiom-based, not evidence-based.

THAT is the lethal “drug” that humankind’s about to be self-exterminating with, for 6-decades.

I expect 0.1B left alive, IF humankind succeeds in growing-up.

From what I’ve seen & read, yes.

Doctors are often addicted to drugs, or just to medicating themselves.

I read an article by a woman who worked for a house-cleaning service, which ordered her to stop working too fast/competently.

So, she slowed-down, to keep her job.

& looked in cupboards, medicine-cabinets, etc.

She said that now she doesn’t want to be rich, because they’re consistently addicted to drugs/medications.
