Materialism and the Age of Decline [stream #49]
In this livestream episode, I spoke about materialism and the age of decline, and the potential return of a prophet who can guide humanity toward an entirely new way of living.

Waiting for Another Prophet
Human civilization doesn’t follow the path of eternal progress, nor of Spengler’s cyclical model. Instead, we are living through brief periods of rapid rise, followed by very long periods of seemingly eternal decline. Until a new prophet arises who can show us a new way.
Utopian leftists believe everything is always going to get better, and the past was always worse. Just lo...
Assad Ousted: Assessing the Situation in Syria
Both Britain and The Netherlands have announced they want to build over a million new homes to house millions of people, to "solve the housing crisis". There's just one catch: --the homes will largely house new immigrants. NEW immigrants, meaning from Gaza? Yes, I believe Israel and the Zio-US forces are looking to establish Greater Israel by deporting millions of people and dumping them in Syria, Turkey, Germany, The Netherlands, and Britain and Ireland. Is there anything we c...

Defiance: Europe Will Rise Again
What's going on in Romania? A presidential candidate won the first rounds, but then NATO swooped in and demanded the elections be annulled. The candidate was considered too friendly toward Russia. And so NATO decides to build the world's largest military base in Romania. Apparently, NATO powers fear that Russia may be rebuilding its former Soviet Empire. Or maybe even the Russian Empire. Such a conflict with the West may result in the total destruction of Europe. And then, I bel...

Has German Leadership Been Captured by Spies?

Germany’s former African colony Namibia is one of the world’s largest producers of uranium. Germany could have given itself clean and cheap nuclear energy for ages to come. But it chose to embark on a path of deindustrialization instead. This process famously started with Angela Merkel under the theme of “Energiewende� (the energy transition).
In hindsight, one might even suspect that the whole story of “climate change� was particularly invented in order to justify Germany’s—and...

Why Do We Sleep? Science Doesn't Know [podcast #70]
In this podcast episode, I elucidate the enigma of sleep. A science article I read stated that science doesn’t know why mammals, birds, and fish need sleep. And then I recognized a host of other questions that modern science also doesn’t know to answer: What is time? What is space? What is motion? What is thinking? What is consciousness? Why do we sleep? In my view, all of these questions have something in common, namely that there is a spiritual, non-material dimensio...

Technology and Its Dangers [podcast #69]
In this mind-twisting podcast, I attempt to reveal that our perceived reality has been a ‘choice�, and that we have the opportunity to choose differently. I refer to Martin Heidegger’s comments on technology, and explain how everything in existence on our planet has been demoted to what he called “standing reserves�. Even human beings have become such standing reserves—caches of people waiting to be put to use for war or profit (“human resources�).

Book Club [stream #48]
In this livestream episode, I spoke to my audience about several books I’ve read that I thought were worth mentioning and discussing.
Politico Doesn't Know Why German Industry Is Dying
According to the Federation of German Industry, they expect to lose 20% of their business by 2030. Geopolitical reason play a large role in this, but American news outlets have to pretend the USA hasn’t got anything to do with it.

The Life Expectancy Lie
In 2023, about 3.6 million babies were born in the USA. But just over 1 million fetuses were aborted that year. That means around 22% of American babies conceived were killed in the womb. If we included these aborted children in the national life expectancy average, life expectancy in the USA would drop from 79 years to 62.
In other words, We...
