✅ THREAD. #Problematic

This is a rap song about how the Woke were awakened and how the whole world now has insomnia.

It was produced by @LeftAxisMusic. Follow him.

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.

2⃣POSTMODERNISM.

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.”

✅ BOYS WILL BE GIRLS.

In which I stated the problematic fact that a man cannot become a woman anymore than a man can become a bat.

1. The most powerful argument against surrogacy is the fact that baby and mother's brains are biochemically linked.

Throughout pregnancy, their brains interact through the secretion of hormones.

The brain cells in the baby's hypothalamus respond to the mother's metabolism.
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. Image

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 Image
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 Image
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.

THREAD – On #Sartre, Transgenderism, Bad Faith

The ideas that animate transgenderism are rooted in a handful of 20th century philosophers.

These notes look at how the identity fluidity movement – “gender ideology” – can be traced to Sartre’s ontology of “the subject”.
The rhizome of transgenderism extends into psychiatry and sexology – through figures such as John Money, Robert Stoller, Harry Benjamin, and more.

I look at them on another thread.

This thread looks at the philosophical roots – which were and are the core drivers, in my view.
Nietzsche said: – every philosophy is “an involuntary and unconscious autobiography.”

Sartre’s could be said to mirror his childhood.

He was a wunderkind. But a miserable child. He loathed his stepfather and felt alienated by his mother. He stole money from them.

1./ When I released BOYS WILL BE GIRLS nearly a month ago, my account on @Bandcamp, a music platform, was removed within days.

I have emailed 3 times. There's been no response, no explanation.

Nor have they transferred all of the money from purchases.

2./ Here's a tweet from an activist who was angry that the lyrics in the song stated the biological fact that a man cannot become a woman.

You can listen to the song and judge for yourself whether I said anything that warranted @Bandcamp termination. I don't think I did. Image
3./ This, though, was to be expected.

It is yet another case of companies and institutions bowing to activist pressure on this issue.

I thought better of @Bandcamp and believed they were dedicated to creative freedom regardless of its controversy.

It seems I was wrong.

This is the first line in my song.

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.

On #Nietzsche, Transgenderism, Detransition
“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.

THREAD – #GenderWooWoo

Today I incurred the wrath of the Pronoun Platoon.

The crime? – a rap song about how a man cannot become a woman.

I stated some facts and the herd went berserk.

I say in the song: – “If a man wishes to live his life imitating a woman or a bat – fine!”

I am a believer in individual liberty.

I shall uphold dignity in personal interactions.

But I shall not pretend that it isn’t an imitation.
Sex is immutable.

Even if one undergoes every single reassignment procedure, one does not become the opposite sex.

One can take cross-sex hormones, have estradiol valerate injections, undergo an orchiectomy – that is to say, a castration.
