Here are 10 PROBLEMATIC concepts contained in the song.
1⃣THE DEATH OF GOD.
A condition in society where a once powerful religion has withered and its people have lost faith. Remnants linger on in ‘secular’ forms. Now and then, its ideas are resurrected and find garbled expression in new political creeds.
A belief that the stories we once told ourselves are no longer believable. The heroes, villains, voyages, and goals of our religious, political, or scientific narratives no longer hold weight. The stories we tell ourselves about these stories are also empty.
3⃣NIHILISM.
The feeling that everything is meaningless, that life is pointless, that things lack value, that existence has no worth. There follows a scramble to fill the void. Since any meaning is better than none, the likelihood of selecting a destructive one increases.
4⃣TRAGIC INDIVIDUALISATION.
The Internet brought global connection but thinned the social bonds that anchored us. A person must deal with greater global uncertainty alone. There follows an anxious urge to mark territory, to put down roots: “safe spaces”, “belonging”, “a home.”
5⃣GENERATION SNOWFLAKE.
A term from the film Fight Club. An alienated generation, ultra-touchy, hyper-alert, fragmented, racked by feelings of inferiority, addicted to digital dopamine hits. Like Tyler Durden, they turned their “identity” into an adventure.
6⃣THE POWER PROCESS.
Goal ➡️ Effort ➡️ Achievement
The feeling of power or control comes from creating a goal and applying effort in pursuit of it. Since society has now catered for most needs, artificial needs are manufactured to fulfil this purpose.
7⃣PROBLEMATISING.
In an interview with his research assistant shortly before his death in 1984, Michel Foucault described his body of work as: “problematization.” Many university departments became problem-making machines. By the mid-2010s they had produced this:
8⃣WOOZLES.
Winnie and Piglet went hunting for a creature called a Woozle. They pursued its footprints in the snow. But every so often, more and more tracks began to appear. It turned out they’d been following their own footprints in a circle around a tree. @G_S_Bhogal explains:
9⃣PROJECT GUILT.
Power and control are maintained by creating and continually strengthening a sense of guilt, through the prospect of punishment, social ostracism, public shaming, "cancellation", or struggle sessions.
🔟THE INVERSION OF VALUES.
The blurring, reversal, or reinterpretation of values and meanings.
Victimhood becomes virtue.
Speech becomes violence.
Madness becomes holiness.
Man becomes woman.
Truth becomes immoral.
And here's an extra one.
❗️RESSENTIMENT.
French term used by Nietzsche. A raging envy directed at a person or group that appears stronger, more powerful or successful. Strength, power, success are decried as “evil.” Weakness, insecurity, or inadequacy is interpreted as “good.”

2. Even the slightest drop in mother's blood sugar levels stimulates the baby's stress axis.
When the baby accounts for around 15% of the mother's metabolism – its blood sugar levels plummet.
It then senses that it can no longer be supported.
3. The birth process itself is a result of the relay of oxytocin between baby and mother.
There is a very real reason children generally feel more instinctual affinity towards their mothers than they do their fathers – and it is precisely a result of a 9-month neuro-symbiosis.
In Fahrenheit 451 – Ray Bradbury's classic dystopian novel – the main character, Montag, is a fireman. In this future world, firemen don't put out fires – they start them. Books are the primary target, on account of their ability to communicate ideas.
Short THREAD. 1/5
Ideas are dynamite. Ideas can explode nations and topple rulers. But when an idea becomes total, when it insulates itself from criticism, when it treats the questioner as a blasphemer – a "thisist" or a "thatophobe" – it is all the more necessary to confront that idea. 2/5
The weak idea requires a legion of draconian footsoldiers to police and patrol its borders.
The strong idea needs no army or Praetorian guard.
All it needs is someone willing to speak it – regardless of the consequences.
3/5
A man cannot become a woman
Anymore than a man can become a bat.
Here are some notes on Nietzsche’s idea of “becoming” and how it was co-opted by transgender activists.

“How One Becomes What One Is.”
This was the subtitle of a book written by Friedrich Nietzsche called – “Ecce Homo” – which means: – “Behold the Man.”
It was the Roman governor Pontius Pilate who said – “Behold the Man!” – as Jesus, appearing positively ungodlike, capped with a crown of thorns, beaten, battered and abused, was dragged out before a crowd and berated with howls of execration as he carried the cross to Golgotha.
