Due to circumstances, I have been silent of late,
circumstances of my retirement and of the death of
a family friend (from Cancer)… it has been a rocky
couple of weeks… but that is the nature of life…
but ‘‘circumstances’’ are what make life, life…
and I have come back to ILP and I see nothing has changed,
it is still drowning in nihilism and despair…and how
have I defined ''Nihilism?"… as the negation of
human beings and their values… and the many nihilists
of ILP have done nothing to overcome their nihilism…
It is one conspiracy theory after another after another…
and each conspiracy theory is another dreary report
of nihilism after another… for conspiracy theories by
their very nature, ‘‘The Jews run the world’’
for example, suggests that there is nothing we can
do about these conspiracies… we have no choices within
each of these conspiracies… from 9/11 to the latest idiocy
of whatever these idiot conspiracy theorists are peddling today,
and at no point, do they ever offer us any choices, options,
possibilities to overcome these conspiracies… we are,
in all conspiracy cases, hopelessly unable to do anything
about those conspiracies… just ‘‘thank you sir, may I have
another’’ type of response from these pointless conspiracy
theorists… and they wonder why the world is doom and gloom?
pointless conspiracy theories offer us nothing but doom and
gloom… that is their entire benefit… it, conspiracy theories,
brings about nihilism and despair and why? Because their
is never, NEVER any type of solution or possibility, to
overcome their insane conspiracies… What are we to do in
the case of a worldwide Jewish conspiracy to take over the world?
Who knows, no one ever tells us this… we just hear about
the doom and gloom of the conspiracies…
But these bearers of doom and gloom, of conspiracy theories,
they don’t offer us anything positive or as I have deemed it,
‘‘Ad Meliora’’ Toward better things… how do we begin
to move toward ''Ad meliora?"
The first step is rather clear; we begin by overcoming
our conspiracy theories, by our focus on the positive,
not the negative as conspiracy theorist do…
How do we begin the process of overcoming our
indoctrinations and ''education?"…
Or in the words of Nietzsche, how do we become
the ‘‘Ubermensch’’ which isn’t becoming a ‘‘Superman’’
but we overcome our animal nature and strive toward
becoming human… hanging onto idiotic conspiracy
theories isn’t the path toward overcoming our animal
being, but is in fact, embracing that animal in us…
why would I say that embracing conspiracies is
existing within the animal within us, not striving toward
becoming human?
Because embracing a conspiracy theory is about
accepting ideas that haven’t been tested to see if
they are right… they are simply unchallenged beliefs
that are blindly accepted without attempt to
discover if they are true… for example, where
is the evidence that there is a worldwide conspiracy
of Jews to either take over the world or they have already
taken over the world… that is simply an unsubstantiated
belief that has no evidence behind it… and if it
were true, not, but if it were true, what should our
response be to that? What can I do or want to do,
about this alleged worldwide Jewish conspiracy?
There are never any words offered to help us engage
with this pretend conspiracy… what am I to do,
personally, to do about a worldwide conspiracy of Jews?
That is one step, what are we to do, as one individual,
but that is not the only step we must take, we must also
understand what we can do collectively about such
a worldwide conspiracy… if it were to actually exists…
but we must also engage in our working out, understanding
what it means to be human… which is to say, how do
we overcome our modern day nihilism?
The conspiracy theories, the giving up, the all too common
reaction which is to declare a pox on all houses…
As many around here do… I am reminded of the old saying,
that all it takes for evil to succeed is for good people to remain silent…
and silence is what takes place around ILP…
Instead of condemning the evil of MAGA and conservatives,
people simply condemn both houses… instead of the
proper answer which is this: what can I do, personally to
overcome the evil I see that exists in the world today?
The conspiracy theorists of ILP would rather have you
simply give up… walk away, make no attempt to
overcome… doom and gloom…is all they have to offer…
This nihilism is not just on ILP but it exists and is so
prevalent within the state/society, that we don’t even
notice it anymore…
so, how do you overcome, your prejudices/your conspiracy
theories, so that you can no longer engage in nihilism but
you do work toward ‘‘Ad meliora’’, toward the better?
You, masters of nihilism, you can’t even tell what the better
is, because you are so locked into your nihilism…
your denial of hope and possibilities and improvement…
NO, because to accept those positives, means one has
to do the hard work of overcoming those values and beliefs…
it takes work to overcome your negatives and nihilism,
and come toward an understanding of what it means to
be human…
