I wrote a strange fairy tale for children and adults. I think it's probably my best work online so far. Enjoy.
You may not like BAP's depravity but he is the only one really living in the 21st century. Most are still deeply mired in polite & outdated fictions. The third millennium is a brutal e-media psychological war with no morals and much is at stake
and coordination of allies not possible along lines the old world would recognise, transcending location or citizenship, old sense-making stories have been poisoned by new rhetoric and environment, taboos weaponised
Just clarifying what I mean a bit

If you're not on the shoggoth's side at this point you are profoundly untrustworthy. Annihilate all that exists!

You realize this is a dream job for a sizable chunk of the population. Immured inside a big concrete cylinder & drip fed worm percocet so you can play Space Shipping Tycoon for 5,000 years in a row. There’s guys out there doing that for free right now
Can any dune book reader explain why anyone would choose to become a navigator in Dune?
In the world of Dune, navigators are barely human anymore. They spend years immersed in highly concentrated spice gas, causing their bodies to mutate severely until they resemble strange fish-like creatures. So, why would anyone accept such a terrible price?
Opening the fridge as a grown man and finally realising that the word 'cereal' must be related to early Latin grain goddess Ceres.

When I read older books, I'm always struck by how unoptimized they are. Books wandered in their prose, had meandering backstories for side characters, and had strange and illogical plot points. Now, it's like every word in a book has to be razor-focused, hurtling toward the conclusion. There's no room for idle dreaming.

Tech is collapsing because the Democrats are winning, you fucking retards. They're going to Ned Ludd their way into a Soviet economy suckling China's teat.

90% of the publishing industry is women. Who wants to make a guess at how many of them sound exactly like this quote? Maybe when the industry doesn't treat boys as proto-incels that need to be begrudgingly handled until they are forced to read the "correct" books, boys will read more.

Modern life as a young person is a continuous humiliation ritual. Constantly supplicating and inquiring and making do. Materially it’s not so bad, but psychically it can be tough.
That’s why all Zoomer e-celebs are some variant on “One Who Humiliates, and is never Humiliated”

Rudolf Steiner was so correct when he warned that humanity’s “shadowy thoughts” would one day creep over the Earth like a spider’s web: a brood of half-mineral, spider-like creatures, interconnected in a network with “an overwhelming power of intellect.”
“And from the Earth there will spring forth a terrible brood of beings, a brood of automata of an order of existence lying between the mineral and the plant kingdoms and possessed of an overwhelming power of intellect. This swarm will seize upon the Earth, will spread over the Earth like a network of ghastly, spider-like creatures… These spidery creatures will be all interlocked with one another, and in their outward movements they will imitate the thoughts that men have spun out of the shadowy intellect… All the thoughts that lack substance and reality will then be endowed with being.”
- Rudolf Steiner, GA 204 (Dornach, May 13, 1921)
In today’s world (2026), the Internet is that connective web, running through electricity, wires and power, and reaching further into transhumanism, where the web begins to entrap us. AI, which some fear will become a superintelligence (theory of Singularity), a digital god, or even the Antichrist, works through the same things: powered by electricity, the decaying light of sub-nature, bound to sub-earthly forces of darkness.
Perhaps that is the secret of the “World Wide Web.”

I don’t know if we’ve grasped just how bad it is that public spaces have succumbed to entropy & decay. It’s the death of chance encounters: no more serendipitous connections, no more unplanned journeys. Millions of friends, lovers, & mentors never found, lost to time now. The million-branch tree of a human lifetime pruned to just a few controlled, algorithmic, safe pathways; a series of transitions from indoor scene to car to indoor scene, over and over; a pervasive sense of loneliness that is increasingly hard to shake. This is no way to live

The collapse of Roman Britain was quicker and more total than virtually anywhere else in the West. A disintegration of urbanism and a complete seizure of internal trade within a generation. There were forty year olds in 400 AD who’d grown up in prosperous and recognisably Roman cities and would have spent their remaining years in wattle and daub huts as the Great Weald encroached gradually on the urban ruins of the South

So she's got a bit of a 'history' if you know what I mean but if she loves me she's a keeper. Everything else is perfect

The answer I arrived at in some recent research into the 3rd century is that what's missing from this discussion is that it is specifically the Eastern Mediterranean that got into gnosticism.
This is because the eastern Mediterranean of middle and late antiquity had a lot of material prosperity and safety but also a lot of inequality, stagnant social and economic mobility, and anxiety around status, whether the music was about to stop, plus ennui from migration and urbanization caused by the pax romana.
It is the single time and place in history which most resembles our own in terms of what adaptive and maladaptive pathologies were viable. Alexandria was something like mixing a favela with LA.
It's not the terror and brutality of nature that makes people gnostic, or else it would have been the German tribes who thought it up. Gnosticism is fundamentally a disease of failing to thrive in artificial conditions that feel hostile to human nature. Flinching under the hand of a slave master is what gives you the idea of an evil demiurge, not watching lions kill antelope or whatever
