What we regard as marriage today, isn't what marriage used to mean. Today we associate a marriage with a wedding, registration, a semi-official ritual and all kinds of nonsense.
This all represents the death of love, not its birth.
Let's start, right off the bat, with the most formal part of it in our soyciety: The marriage registration, which results in a certificate.
What does "register" mean? It's in the name, "regis" meaning the authority of the nation. Or the REGIme!
It means handing it to the regime.
This isn't just a play on words but a VERY real phenomenon. In the old days, a man would get married to a woman, and their families would be joined quite literally. That means the authority of both families would reign over them, their children and so on.
These bonds were strong.
The concept of a man "departing" from a marriage was never really a thing, the family would intervene, and the man would be ejected out of society.
Same deal for the woman who would disobey the husband, cause trouble and generally go crazy as women do today (very regularly).
As the man held the responsibility to protect his wife, and provide for her and their children, he also was granted authority over her.
This will undoubtedly make modern women shriek. "Ew, a random man [and I *despise* all men], has authority over ME?"
Indeed, that's how it was.
Why?
What incentive is there for a man to be given responsibilities and burdens, if they aren't given authority to shape their own destiny? That includes what their wife does.
How can you lock them into this over a long time without giving them something in return?
Clear? No?
Well, let's look at what happens with marriage registration today and you'll see it. Perhaps.
When a marriage is registered today, the woman is given away, by the person who wanted to marry her, to the regime. She is registered as the property of the regime.
Now, to a modern woman this sounds LESS offensive. "Well the regime is bigger and better than any man".
Like anything registered as property of a regime, that property can return to the regime -- through no-fault divorce.
The woman is incentivised to divorce her "husband" (not really her husband as you can see), and in trade for destroying his life, they are rewarded handsomely.
These women have every reason to divorce their man. Think about it.
He has no authority over them.
He just provides.
It's through the goodness of these women's hearts that they pretend he's their husband for the duration, it's through their mercy this right is not exercised.
I'm sure this sounds horrible but think about it logically.
Imagine you had a knife to someone's back, even someone you liked, and had to go on a 20 year road trip with them.
Imagine if there is an inevitable difference between you and there's no consequence for plunging it in.
See, these women are human, albeit fallen humans most of the time. This mercy cannot last forever.
At some point, there will be trouble.
With no bonds to family and no society to fall back on, the only husband they had all along, the regime, is all they can turn to. And they do.
Men aren't stupid. The majority of us see this for what it is. So there are two solutions.
The most popular one was to just not commit and bounce around all the women. Why sign this stupid contract when you can rent out fake relationships to satisfy your lust? Hookup culture.
Eventually women caught on, so they kicked off #MeToo but it ultimately created a disincentive of being with women all together.
So men started to go into another mode: Complete avoidance of women. This phase has been going on for about 9 years. Women have noticed...
So their solution? To try and shame men back into the marriage trap. ๐
It won't work, men are familiar with basic game theory from their observations. The game is skewed on one end and has nothing to do with spirituality.
Men would only accept a real marriage without the regime.
But the regime already thought of this. Today, you're automatically married by "cohabitating" (a term invented by feminists). This means you could invite someone over to your house for some duration and then they'll suddenly own half of it. And you'll become their slave later.
Furthermore, men who try to use the legal system to exercise authority, via a prenuptial agreement, are also f**ked over by judges who throw it away.
Leaving no way back to the way things were.
There's ultimately no solution here, so what is the lesson?
Ultimately, women are the root of civilization as they create families. But without men, these roots are not fed nutrients, will shrivel up and die.
Marriage kept these going and is gone.
Restoring real marriage won't fix everything. But it would be one important step.

P.S. I was going to write about the problem with modern weddings, but I'll save that for another time.

Well, well, @AnthropicAI pulled the rug on all of its users.
It introduced Sonnet 4.5, under the pretense that it was better than Opus 4.1. The benchmarks were all cooked. Opus 4.1 is still superior to Sonnet 4.5.
Yet they used this as an excuse to lower usage limits on Opus!
@AnthropicAI If you subscribe to their non-API plan they're not even transparent about how much usage you're getting.
They got people hooked to this and now they're raising the price by 10x as layoffs continue. This is the expert squeeze happening live.
@AnthropicAI Zero accountability from the so-called government who is meant to regulate this sort of scam.
We will be contacting the @acccgovau, over this rug pull. What a load of sh*t @AnthropicAI. You sell people onto Max x20, you announce an inferior LLM, then reduce their usage by 10x?
There was never a "chosen people" if the context is God.
You're likely thinking of Satan (Yahweh) and the "divine council" where Elohim (plural) got to divide up humanity and Yahweh got assigned the most evil bloodline in the world.
(it's in the Torah lol, several places too)
The funniest thing about arguing with Torah believers is using their own material against them.
The real purity is in the gospel and nothing else but the true words of Jesus Christ our only saviour.
Just wait until you find out what Deutoronomy says Moses's last words were (people were complaining about Yahweh's treatment towards them so he was like, look this was the Elohim assigned to us... don't blame me, then Yahweh killed him. He had just killed his brother)
AI Economic Meltdown: The Coming Expert Squeeze /๐งต
There is a frenzy today that is seemingly unstoppable -- the process of replacing human workers with AI. On another front, the idea that AI has now reached a level beyond the smartest human beings is promoted by CEOs like Sam Altman, Dario Amodei and Elon Musk. In cases where humans aren't replaced, they're expected to augment themselves with AI models to increase their productivity.
On the opposing side, there are people who speak of the technology as impractical, overhyped or down right dangerous. This thread is going to take a different angle to these people: I will demonstrate not only this replacement will become a self-fulfilling prophecy, but why we are locked into this process (which has become an inescapable ponzi scheme) and it will culminate in the destruction of western economies.
In this short thread I'm going to show you why, starting with the economic feedback loops, the limitations of the technology, and finally human psychological dependency and the incentive process. To bring it all together, I will explain why the entire western economy is now dependent on this hype, and why the alternative is also collapse of a different kind.
I will start with the main driver of this trend: the economy.
The economic feedback loop
Tech companies and other firms all over the world are in a frenzy to fire as many employees as possible in order to minimise their payroll, keeping investors happy and increasing their stock price even as the real economy around them collapses.
Excluding algorithmic trading, the economy ultimately involves exchange between humans and groupings of humans (i.e. human run entities). The fewer people you have working, the fewer people you have buying things, the less money ultimately flows into large corporations without the public being forced to subsidise them via government grants.
It also goes the other way around, the lower the demand for people with certain skills, the less money groupings of people will offer, and the fewer people will develop these skills. The incentive is thus a feedback loop, the more successful the companies, the more successful the workers, the more both grow upwards.
The promise of AI is to cut this loop open, allowing companies to theoretically lower their payroll to near zero, moving that line item to either data centre costs or the cost of AI models hosted by other companies. This has flow-on effects too: the fewer individual contributors you have, the fewer managers, HR representatives and middle managers you need. Companies are also incentivised to disintermediate and flatten their hierarchies.
With all the hype this seems like a risk-free gamble until you break apart the assumptions and consequences. There are two main assumptions:
1. The cost of using AI models will remain cheap. 2. AI will be able to continuously fulfil the duties of humans in all domains that they replace or augment.
I will disprove assumption (1) later in this section and disprove assumption (2) in the next section.
The up-front cost is seemingly sending many people into unemployment, and driving down the consumer economy. Of course, it is never that simple and rarely linear or even reversible. In taking this gamble, these companies will lose centuries of inherited experience both at the individual contributor and the management level.
This has already been done before. Entering the late 1970s, the United States had a tight grip on world exports and industries with very few exceptions. This was all off-shored over the next few decades until the US was deindustrialised. Today, the US struggles to produce tanks and artillery shells, as the last few workers that still know how retire and the economic incentive for their replacement disappears.
Software engineers, spreadsheet jockeys and other service economy workers will soon be facing the same calculus as industrial workers did during that time. They will quickly move on, or move out of the United States and other western nations. Ironically, these are the very skills needed to keep data centres running smoothly, AI models fed with data (after all it's the information technology that is upstreaming these data feeds and data creation events) and even the AI models developed. Albeit, the full effect of this will not be felt for the time being.
The worst thing is even if decision makers are fully aware of the gamble, they cannot change the trajectory because it has become a multi-level ponzi scheme. The software and hardware companies that are currently leading the economy like Microsoft and NVIDIA are dependent on the hype surrounding AI. If that hype is undermined even a little, as we saw in early January when the open source model DeepSeek R1 was released, the western economies fall into turmoil.
For the moment, AI is subsidised to a degree most people are unaware of. OpenAI is supported by Microsoft, and operates its models at a loss. Anthropic is likewise supported by Amazon and operates its expensive (and somewhat slower) model at a loss. It only gets worse for other players like Perplexity which has to spend 164% of its revenue on cost.
The gamble is as companies become dependent on this technology, and humans are replaced, the companies will be able to afford the real cost. It's like a "trial edition" right now. You can confirm this yourself, sign up to Anthropic's Claude for example, e.g. the Max account for $200USD/month, and watch how you can easily spend $40USD of their money in 5 hours. That should tell you something is seriously wrong.
What's happening is the speculation from both governments and large corporations that are speculating on the end game, gambling their bottom line and also a future without expertise.
Worse yet, to make meaningful gains, they've had to escalate the kind of hardware they use to host these AIs. Terabytes of RAM, insane and exotic networking equipment, brand new architectures, 100s of billions of dollars in one time engineering costs to impedance match currently popular mathematical models that may change dramatically in the near future.
AI is not getting cheaper. On the upper end, where businesses are concerned, it's actually getting more expensive. If you're a gamer you already know this, with the price of RTX3090s, RTX4090s and RTX5090s going through the roof over time. Moore's law is very much dead and inflation has caught up with the otherwise deflationary electronics economy.
But... maybe, despite all these trends, it will eventually work? What if they make it cheaper or cheap enough somehow and the AI exceeds human abilities even without data? Is that even possible in today's technology? That takes us to the next section and assumption (2).

Why you should never speak ill of the dead. /๐งต
Have you ever punched your fist in the air when you're really energetic or angry? Notice how it hurt your muscles almost the same way as making contact with something? Sometimes more, even though it's an empty punch? Every action has a reaction, and of course, your muscles, bones and joints will ultimately have to absorb the energy you used to throw your fist outwards.
When something comes out of you, especially when you attack someone, unless you are fundamentally broken, it's the same deal. If you attack someone and they don't fight back, a normal empathic person would back away or even try to make it up to the person attacked. This is part of why turning your other cheek, to a brother, is the most powerful answer to someone who has wronged you.
[Note: When I speak of "people" here I mean specifically white people. I don't believe neurology, physiology and spiritual essence is universal. In this work I hope to make us more relatable to those who do not understand why we do and say certain things.]
Those who keep attacking after the other side backs away or doesn't respond, are fundamentally broken. Their empathic unit is gone. Without empathy you will not be able to relate to people around you, or even understand yourself. It's an isolated hell that I don't want to even imagine. You can be surrounded by the entire world, but you will always feel alone, even on your interior.
This is why people flee a guilty conscience, often why even murderers turn themselves in or leave clues hoping to get caught. They want that part back after realizing what they have lost. Often, they will even yearn for punishment, feeling that in making a penance perhaps their soul will be redeemed.
Some even take their own lives over this, it is that strong of a force, much like an open punch, when you commit a crime that cannot be reversed, the force of your bloodied hand will ultimately come towards yourself -- inwards.
This is why you'll often see us get enraged when someone harms a small or helpless animal. This is a transference of empathy and a detection of a dangerous person. You see, these animals cannot respond back to whatever we do to them. It's much like an empty punch. None of us could forgive ourselves if we harmed them.
So when we see someone actively harming such animals, that have largely entrusted their safety unto us, we do get enraged for them. We become that inwards force, socially.
It's not "weird", it's actually perfectly predictable given how we think at a fundamental level: a person without empathy is a danger to the rest of us. They must be removed from society for our safety. They'd have no qualms about running us over or murdering us later.
In our experience, quite often, those who harm animals end up turning into sociopaths, serial murderer and worse. I've been to enough third world locations to see the lack of empathy and respect shown towards animals and for me, it is the main litmus test for the true value of a people.
