Welcome to Babylon
You're not crazy, you are in the Matrix
The Tower of Babel was meant to be a monument to the greatness of Babylon. A tower so big it would allow mankind to walk into heaven on their own. In reality it was a monument to arrogance, and God punished the Babylonians by destroying the tower. In its wreckage the Babylonians began to speak different languages, or babel. No one could understand one another, and the society collapsed.
We are not that far off from the Babylonians. Consider the arrogance required to declare that you can change the gender of a child, and castrating them to fulfil your own fantasy.
Government drones who tell you that you, the parent, are not qualified to make decisions on your child’s education.
Neighbors and coworkers that try to talk you out of starting a business.
They use language to manipulate
Followers of Michael Malice have seen him use the phrase “they don’t use language to communicate, they use it to manipulate”. Reading any Obsolete Media headline confirms this, as you have to sift through the wording to extract what actually happened.
The situation has gotten worse. People now use the same words but ascribe different meanings to them. While this is often intentional, is more often becoming a modern day Babel. Watch any podcast with a debate on gender dynamics and you’ll see men and women arguing past each other. They will use the same words and phrases, but the meaning behind them is completely different. And they don’t notice it.
Words No longer have meaning
In the story of Babylon, when the tower fell everyone started speaking a different language. Today, everyone uses the same language, but the words have lost all meaning.
Nazi=someone who disagrees with me
Fascist=someone who disagrees with me
Racist=someone who disagrees with me
Misinformation=information I disagree with
Violence=any words I disagree with
It’s not hyperbole. Look through daily headlines to see how you are a racist. When simply being alive makes you a racist, the word has no meaning. It’s just thrown about casually in an attempt to get clicks and generate shame. There is no longer any value to the word.
Everything that leads to freedom is dangerous
Have you noticed how fast the Obsolete Media jumps to demonize anything that’s good for you? Eating meat leads to climate change. Raw milk is bad for you. Going to the gym is white supremacy. Losing weight is fatphobic.
They even go so far as to tell you not to raise chickens in your backyard. Never mind the propaganda around Gold, BTC and business ownership. BLUF: If it’s good for you the media will demonize it. That’s how you know what you’re doing is right.
You’re not the crazy one
Its not just politics and culture war. Look around you, everywhere you see people moving in a zombie like state through their government or corporate jobs. A human herd effect, where people are taking their cues from others. At a certain point you start asking yourself “am I the crazy one?”
Instead of sportsball on the weekends you start a side business. Instead of competing for promotion, you quit your job to grow your business. Instead of drinking bear and eating fast food, you go to the gym and cook for yourself. Instead of sending your child to a government school to be miseducated you opt to homeschool. You’re shocked when the people around you look at you like a leper and ask “why?”
That’s when most of us start to ask if we’re the crazy one. Why are we trying to improve our lives? Are we worthy of the success we are seeking? Imposter syndrome and other doubts start to take hold. You need to stop right there. You are not the crazy one.
You will feel alone
Once you have your awakening you suddenly feel alone. You look around and see that everyone else is content with mediocrity. There is no real desire for greatness, no desire for sovereignty. No tolerance for risk, or the responsibilities that come with freedom.
What will shock you more is the amount of “Freedom Lovers” that turn out to be frauds. Men who quickly rolled up their sleeves for the vax because saying “no” might be inconvenient.
You’re not alone
Finding the others like you won’t be easy. This where your twitter TL comes into play. To find others like yourself you will likely have to stat on the internet, on social media. Start scanning for like minded people.
It will take time to find others In Real Life. Though once you’ve had your awakening, they become easy to recognize. Real people don’t have the dead in the eyes stare that the NPCs have. You’ll be able to spot a real human from across a crowded room.
Reach out to them. Make it a point to do business with people that are trustworthy and, whenever possible, befriend them.
You need multiple ways to ask the same question
In Competency Crisis we give recommendations on how to deal with the Kidults. Communicating with human NPCs is harder than arguing with a chatbot. I see this everyday with my own wife. She will ask some one (bank, doctors office, etc.) a question, and they will give her an answer to a different question. Her instinct, like most peoples, is to ask her question again. This is where the frustration begins.
If someone fails to answer your question, re-asking the same questions in the same way will not yield results. They didn’t understand you the first time, they wont understand you the next four times. It’s on you to rephrase the question in a way that they understand and can answer.
Note: If they do answer your question, but you don’t like the answer, rephrasing the question will not give you a different answer, it just makes you the asshole.
Bringing it all together
So what do you do when you wake up and realize that you’re not the crazy one, it is in fact all the NPCs around you? That remains the million dollar question.
What you don’t do is plug back into the Matrix. It’s to late for that. You need to move forward. Don’t argue with or try to rescue the NPCs, they’re not real. Find others like yourself. You’re not alone.
Good Luck
