21st century schizophrenic mindset arises from the triple realization that

1) the "guardians of the truth" are lying to you

2) there's no alternate authority out there who can tell you what the truth really is, and

3) there is no way to figure out the truth on your own
The result, as Barnes gets at, is you know *something* is wrong. But you have no way to know what the true scope or scale of the wrongness might be

It could be a trivial error—or it could be that everything you believe is a lie. And you have to decide which, over and over again
Determining when a lie of way-of-life has been told, and what to do in response, isn't something normal people can reliably do on their own

That's the role of kings and chiefs and inquisitor-priests. And even they only had to decide now and then, not every single fucking day
The position we've been put in is not one we're meant to be in (and is easily proven to be real: why else would the ruling order love SSRIs, weed, and opioids if not as palliative care for its state-enforced schizophrenia)

The obvious question, then, is "So what is the truth"
The only truthful answer is: "We don't know yet"

Yet being schizophrenic is being open to the voices of the gods. Our job, then, is very simple, yet immensely mentally punishing in the meantime: to exist within that schizophrenia, without going insane

The entire BLM movement is based on lies. But since it's backed by elite institutions who have no interest in actual truth—and who actively brainwash people to support their power in defiance of the truth—"voting" is exposed as a means of laundering power through "public opinion"
Good lord, he really is gonna get fired and have to start his own Joe Rogan thing, isn't he. What he's saying is indistinguishable from a dissident right groupchat whose opinions would get every single participant unpersoned.

Bless this man

Is there anything more revealing than the corpse of Jon Stewart getting trotted out every two years to push some ossified irrelevancy while Ol' Bowtie emerges as a political tour de force

"Clown nose on, clown nose off" was the most devastating own of the 21st century

Since the core tenet of the progressive faith is that all people are equal, resources like "education" are canonized as the only reason for inequality.

But if people privately spent the exact same quantity of resources on direct education, it would be recast as "privilege"
Belief in perfect equality means that creating it is a moral imperative. Infinite resources must be spent to achieve it

Since equality is curiously slow in arriving, more and more resources are spent creating the elitely educated administrative class capable of building utopia
Since this class is at the core of the progressive faith, it is intrinsically high-status. That means that huge numbers of people will fight to become part of it.

As it populates more and more of the elites and the bureaucratic middle class...

"Fear, finger-pointing, and militaristic action against the virus are unproductive. We may be better off adjusting to a new normal of periodic outbreaks."

The Cathedral appears to be mutating into something overtly hostile to continued human existence.

The Spanish flu killed 50-100 million people at a time when the global population was about 1.8 billion.

In today's terms, that would be 200-400 million deaths.

...why do outlets like Buzzfeed and Wired keep insisting there's nothing we can do about this?
It's strange that the possibility of the planet getting a couple of degrees warmer is justification for upending entire economies and societies, but the possibility of regular outbreaks of mega-death plagues is apparently "part and parcel of living in a global world"
