“This is your brain on [Control]”

I’ve been touching grass more than using my [smartphone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic\_tagging) these days. It’s been tough though, I’ve been a [user] of this [military apparatus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET) for some time now; it’s difficult kicking such an ubiquitous [addiction](https://www.npr.org/2026/08/17/nx-s1-5923392/a-group-of-attorneys-general-is-suing-meta-over-mental-health-risks-for-youths) that’s seemingly required to [be a part of society](https://www.reddit.com/r/TuesdayswithPhony/s/JkqxuoThLI) these days. **Makes yah think what we all did for so many years prior to 1999.**

I have many concerns and questions that seemingly go unanswered for some reason.

Some questions I’ve been considering:

[What is ethical? Who gets to decide?](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BuINpgEvDO4&ra=m)

**What is their Cultural Behavior like?**
**What Incentivizes them?**
**What is their Ideology?**

What do they want?

Sometimes questions linger, like [dogshit in the crevices of your shoe](https://www.reddit.com/r/Journaling/s/Xjmz8Ycppi). You’re going to get into your car and be offended by that stink. You’re going to track it in all over on the new carpet.

It might take some time to find out where the odor is coming from and/or why you’re such a stinky schlep (maybe you aren’t the schlep though, maybe it was the asshat who [didn’t pick up their dog’s shit!](https://www.reddit.com/r/circlejerknyc/s/hD1WC2XiDb)).

Makes yah question authenticity, integrity, authority, legitimacy, your own/society’s sanity, responsibility, accountability, and why after thousands of years people seem unable to learn or adapt their behaviors, incentives, and ideologies. Makes yah question a lot of things.

What a fucking hassle.

Being Honest About the Book of Job

Suppose Job was inflicted by a man instead of God. Is it rational to say, “well, my boss gave me some sh;t, but then he took it all away and let psychopaths murder my family, blessed be the name of my boss” ?

Does this sh;t make any sense? Is this an intelligent response? (This is the vital question: not what the authors of Job want us to think, but what does reason tell us the rational response should be?)

But the story is loaded from the outset with a magical Genie named God, which is nothing more than the ultimate rhetorical device of man.

We can still read this literature intelligently, as long as we don’t read it as duped believers, having fallen prey to this rhetorical device.

So the story is absolute nonsense, because God, in reality, is just a human construct. So if bad sh;t happens to us, we learn from this story that it’s dumb as f;ck to bring any notion of God into it.

Isn’t the moral of the story that we should strive to created social conditions where sh;t like this doesn’t happen in the first place, so mtherfkrs don’t have to lean on imaginary human constructs? And, when sh;t like this does happen, we have created societies of compassion that people can fall back on and find comfort in?

Isn’t this the concrete, non-idealistic reading of the book of Job?

“Torn Apart on Purpose” - Hunter Biden on Tucker Carlson’s Show

Having a rough day today, but I’m pretty good at picking myself up again after contending with 20 years of (?^?)

Also my last post I garnered two comments that don’t exist there anymore. Took a screenshot because they put a Maps link with coordinates. Unable to access the comments, unsure if a threat.

If a threat, like the others I got today (IYKYK 🚗), this post is retaliation.

If not a threat, this post is education.

Edit: Was not a threat, seems to have been a misunderstanding.

Another Pizza My Heart

A third space, a common complaint with its absence in contemporary culture, is the near-extinct Pizza Parlour.

A proper Pizza Establishment, in my humble opinion, includes an option or two for pizza-by-the-slice; the cheese option should be no more than $3/slice. Indeed, two cheese slices and a drink for $5 is 👨‍🍳💋

[Toppings should abound; don’t skimp.]

Pizza-by-the-slice is also a great employee perk; those pies have to move every 4 hours, so unbought slices go to the unironic employee appreciation pizza party every damn day the kitchen is clanging.

This is the first part of getting foot traffic to your restaurant.

Some people don’t want to call in, use an app, or wait 10 minutes for lunch. They want to grab-and-go (or at least I do when I’m hankering for some pizza, which is pretty much an hourly occurrence).

So the real THIRD SPACE is a pizza parlour that offers an arcade machine.

The arcade machine is the POINT OF SALE into your establishment even if the game is an old POS; hear me out:

We used to have kid birthday parties at a pizza place; in highschool we would get ~5 of us, snag a table at a pizza place and feast for an hour or 3 (what is $10 each split amongst friends? Hint: about 4 pizzas, mozz sticks, garlic bread, and more galore!); as an adult, sometimes I want to sit somewhere, have a pizza, maybe a beer, and watch futbol or whatever on Telemundo to break up the crawl of any given month.

Party; Feast; Someplace to zone out with some ‘za.

Now, my go-to pizza parlor arcade machine was “Strikers 1945”. I held the leaderboard for much of the 90s at my local joint.

Why mention this?

I’d say; an establishment might find more traffic with 1) pizza-by-the-slice and 2) offering an arcade machine for patrons.

If a customer holds a leaderboard position, (say 1st, 2nd, or 3rd) they get a free slice every day they hold one of/the top spot on the leaderboard.

You’re going to make the money back for slices in quarters.

It just takes one machine.

Personally, if I knew that a place with good pie had a slice-for-spot kind of deal, I’d keep that machine full of metal for yah.

That’s how you build back community: a third space; one slice at a time.

Disclosure Now; Stop the Game

This post regards current (?) events and some of my private Notes regarding a [journal’s past articles on the IUI Conflict](https://buttondown.com/amoveablefeed).

I consider that this conflict is not everything they are saying it is; it is likely being used to grift markets, distract from the Epstein Class Crimes, setup this seeming [Business Plot v2 country-narrative](https://www.reddit.com/r/TyrannyOfTime/s/nydc9zPr5m) for more non-consensual foreign entanglements, or as a crescendo into [Disclosure](https://www.reddit.com/r/TuesdayswithPhony/s/tdjnWJ5zho).

Donny T said it himself on February 2, 2025; “[we have unlimited energy](https://www.reddit.com/r/the_everything_bubble/s/iM8idRwLeD)”.

So, then why are we going after “oil” and “nuclear dust” only worth “a couple million”?

Hey, remember this [gem](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mmbuD0IEvuA&pp=ygUeY2FwdGFpbiBwbGFuZXQgcG93ZXJzIGNvbWJpbmVk&ra=m)?

Isn’t it intelligent to diversify one’s portfolio, energy or otherwise? Why is this not [the case](https://londondaily.com/lawyer-who-sued-chevron-over-amazon-chernobyl-ordered-to-prison-after-800-days-of-house-arrest)?

What about them 🛸🛸🛸?

Is that energy? Should we call the Department of Energy?

— — —

Now back onto the journal’s Notes of the IUI Conflict (image 2, excuse my [chicken](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck) scratch):

You need “war” or “peace”?
You need “fight” or “fuck”?

Why just that binary? Why in the manner you’ve done so?

Asymmetry?

Are you scared or did you do something wrong?

Is this Ego, Behavior, Incentive, or more or all of these?

How long has this gone on for? What are the current polls? How’s the market/laptop in a closet?

~20+ years of eroding trust, stability, and possibility?
[For what? Why?](https://www.reddit.com/r/Vent/s/I0dUqscBLO)

More importantly;
[Who did it? To whom?](https://www.reddit.com/r/TyrannyOfTime/s/oSe7Hg9RIO)

Boundaries matter, and the (🛸/potentially the “one rogue regime”) point is a big component of the issue, and the totality of the thing.

Small Government is the better aspect; it is decentralized but in an alliance with the central big government. There is gratuitous nuance here.
Consider Rohan and Gondor, Fangorn Forest and Orthanc, Rangers of the North and South, the Council of Elrond, and so on.
Kingdoms (States) of the Country (Federal); Governors each have their own military, but the military is an interconnected organization.

There is no competition without cooperation. If you say “let’s play baseball” and I say “ok” and show up with my glove and bat and you show up with horse-drawn chariots and F-35s we aren’t doing anything worthwhile. We both lose.

Cooperation allows competition; there are rules to the game. If you don’t follow the rules, it is cheating and breaks the game; no one will play with you. We both lose.

I think about the weight of “20 souls”, which from my perspective, I have been protecting. I recall this being said to me years ago.

I ask for disclosure and closure about that event from 2010-2011 to no avail.

So I continue on, not understanding much in this society, because even a single soul is much too much to risk from my perspective and worldview.

The ⏳ and 💰 spent/wasted/used: what did it cost? What did you gain?

2006 was when I went to college; I was 18 years old.

In 2007, my girlfriend at the time convinced me to try the ASVAB test in the National Guard; her grandfather set it up. I’m not sure if predatory tactics were employed with fine print.

2008-2009 was when Hollywood invaded my life and then was irrevocably changed upon a chance (?) meeting with a human-trafficking victim. Meeting this young lady was the most impactful event in my entire life. I think about what might have happened to her every day, since that day.

The winter of 2010-2011 was when my life entered this uncanny valley many claim to be waking up to now.

That is ~20 years.
I use these examples as a point.

The only (Consumer) things developed in that time has been:
-Streaming Services/Digital Services
-AI/LLMs
-Electric Vehicles

Science, Military, Healthcare are other aspects, but typically rather niche to the domestic voters.

And these aspects could be capitulated with AI/LLMs.

Back to the Notes regarding the journal:

“Confrontation as the only language left”?

That means that this *is* all fake. [You](https://www.reddit.com/r/TuesdayswithPhony/s/YqsO8IES3e) are still 12 years old.

Perhaps the global education and legal system should [be updated](https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyIdeas/s/0b4LgAaBOy) so that we may stoop to the level of middle schoolers.

The ridiculousness of this assertion means this has all been sabotaged and orchestrated [on purpose](https://www.reddit.com/r/TuesdayswithPhony/s/xqMRr1CYiy) to create impotence, frustration, and no progress; ie. to be on your level (12 years old).

You’re that annoying kid in the group chat/game server calling everyone slurs, griefing/trolling, and ruining everyone’s time/fun with the game everyone all cooperated enough to engage in competition with.

A football field is 100 yards, but whenever the opposing team crosses the 99th yard, you move the goalpost and say “Nyah Nyah Nyah-nyah nyah!”

You’re a fart in an elevator.

Is that your legacy?

Dead Internet? *Doctored* Internet

Back in March 2026 I noticed that my profile claimed to have made 15k Contributions.

I was unsure if that meant posts, comments, awards, or what.

In March, the number would be 15k and then sometimes 0.

I checked yesterday and it claims 609 contributions, with a 24hr caveat information bubble-tab.

I am not sure what this means.

Overall, I don’t think I’ve made 15,000 posts, comments, upvotes, downvotes, awards, etc. or if those are included in the “Contributions” number. It’s possible that 15k number is the entire 1+ year (almost 2) of interaction/engagement here, but that is also quite a large number;

That is 800 interactions / day in my time since getting an account here, logged in March.

Now the 609 number seems closer to my actual engagement via posting as I moderate 3 subreddits and have reposted as well as posted. This is still a significant number, but I am not employed and have been trying to communicate what I have been contending with since 2010; seeking help, advice, community, etc.

If you, Dear Reader, are familiar with the amount and level of fuckery I have had to contend with since 2010, you might feel as uneasy as I do currently.

I wonder if you have actually seen anything of what I have contributed here in its true form, or if my works have been doctored, if my account has been cloned or spoofed, or what is going on at all (hoping it is a misunderstanding).

Image 1: I was discussing with someone the odd change in the Contributions number. I believe autocorrect affected my message between the two images presented in the screencap; I was attempting to convey that the number of Contributions changed suddenly upon opening/closing the app. 0-15k is a significant jump, and 15k seems entirely overly-manic. I do not think it is possible to make 800 contributions / day in the span of a year, and I can assure you, Dear Reader, though I may be an odd duck, I do have sort of a semblance of a life.

Image 2: a recent screen capture of what is probably a truer number of my contributions on this platform.

I just wanted to note this, and I will recheck if 609 becomes 610 after this post.

Note: I have very little experience with technology, the last time I knew any sort of computer coding was when HTML was in style. This was when I was in highschool, and I have forgotten much of its syntax and symbolism.

I consider myself a researcher and writer, so my savviness with technology is at the level of knowing to type { this markup “[placeholder]” is the marker within search engine prompts to emphasize what I’m searching for }, and that it’s called a “Search Engine”, not a “Google”. Also, apologies for the atrocious logic-speak of what I’m attempting to convey.

Incels Within Cells

#Chapter 1
——
**Part of The Largest Psyop in History**
——

The Incel culture is a fairly new phenomenon, and too large to be a fringe or actual issue; I posit that the Incel community/Inceldom is/was part of a [psyop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda) based on a self-reinforcing self-label in which the label makes the identity that may or may not just be circumstantial and/or a product of an isolating/connecting Internet/Data Society on a completely normal phase(s) of life for both men/dudes and women/ladies (we eschew biology terms here; read on to find out why!).

The label of Incel/Femcel itself, and the community associated, should not exist and is potentially based on a misconception, and/or is entirely orchestrated. Inceldom is a community of lonely people looking for community and have ended up in the wrong place, mind-set, and circumstance.

This particular, potential psyop was introduced to The Conversation™️ to promote division, social psychology based on Pop Psychology, radicalization, and a sort of path to a sort of quasi-religion. The subjects of Cultural Behavior, Incentives, and Ideologies find an intersection on the topic of incels/femcels and the “fertility crisis”;

who’s to blame?:
ever the individual, the serfer on a wave of societal cycles.

Combined with healthcare, the surveillance grid, pseudo philosophy and bro science with familiar phrases as, “go to the gym/shower/haircut (anything but working on yourself ie. Heart/Mind/Etc)”, also, “women love men in [therapy]”, and including financial inequalities, incentives, and [ideologies](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/GryYUR9g3m) has brought society a multitude of divisions, namely “Incels/Femcels” as the division between men and men, men and women, and men and women and civilization. This particular division is likely the primary division of all other divisions.
[Note: Diet, Exercise, Sleep, and Community are the [4 Pillars]

to a healthy life and lifestyle. Therapy can be very beneficial, and you should maybe try it if you think it could be good for you or aspects of your own life.]

Is it any wonder that this cultural phenomenon is somewhat recent? [How could this be](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/GIT7Tgbreb), do you think?

The Conversation™️ and Incel/Femcel seems like it is part of the intersection of economics, theology, and politics via cybernetics; “no taxation without representation” meets “the Spiritual War”.

Additionally, I’d noticed a term in another subreddit that condensed the seeming overall issue of this topic down to two words: “unregulated breeders”.

This term is the disrupter of society, traditions, relationships, sense of self, and connection. It forms those who do not participate in a seeming [collective orgy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_mentality) into cells or s(t)igmas of their own; incels. An “[incel]” is not a gender-exclusive behavior because the term “[femcel](4B, [Tradwife], etc)” exists. I won’t go into how these terms are part and parcel of the overall topic; maybe you can think about it your[cel]f.

Marriage/Monogamy and Cheating don’t quite exist if “unregulated breeders” are a facet of society. This is not a blanket statement, and this post as a whole is just a theory.

One could claim that this overall phenomenon is based on [jealousy](https://www.reddit.com/r/sorceryofthespectacle/s/4MvpfD6Ve5), but that’s not quite it. Besides, “jealousy” goes both ways, as do most claims of Othering.

The psychology of the phenomenon is akin to an Other slipping in between a relationship, much like the dividing/out- line between yin and yang ☯️ (though this taijitu offers 5 instead of 1 or 2 or 3, as is commonly associated).

The [Other] dynamic is a pyramid that seems hidden on purpose but loudly heard, though most semantics tries to establish only a binary (left vs right, etc), but maybe a binary is *the* path in this specific topic; masculine/feminine dynamic, though these terms do not quite contain the concept.

This concept then, could also be akin to “the 3 Body Problem”, only that the 3 Body Problem is resolved when you say it’s all nonsense and notice two parents and a child. It’s only a [problem] because it’s *always* *their* turn to watch the kid.

This “Problem” could likewise be considered in the “earth, sea, and sky” trifecta; that is what makes Earth/Terra/Gaia (for people now screaming internally about fire: that’s the “earth” part of the trifecta; magma, mineral/metal, etc). If it were only “earth and sky”, that concept would be something like Mars or Mercury. Just “earth” would be an asteroid, just “sky” might be Jupiter or Saturn, though I understand the core of those “plan-it”’s are metallic or liquid metal.

Earth - Body

Sea - Heart

Sky - Mind

The 3 that is 1, the 1 that is 3.

An [analogy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Replacement\_(Buffy\_the\_Vampire\_Slayer)) to “unregulated breeders” could also be: if you plunged your shovel into the dirt to plant a tree, but some sort of essence of aether enrobed your shovel and/or the dirt like a sylphic shield; are you the actual planter? Are you even the actual operator? Is that even the dirt? Illusion or de-[il]lusion?

Anyways, [the “incel” psyop and grid seems aimed [to collect](https://www.reddit.com/r/CoherencePhysics/comments/1urlsdr/the_cloud_was_never_a_cloud/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1) weaknesses, strengths, compliance points, goals/ideas/etc in all people](https://www.asiaresearchnews.com/content/modern-life-may-be-outpacing-human-mind). This seems [likely](https://www.reddit.com/r/behindthebastards/s/etPQYH4Kwc) to cause innumerable divisions *on purpose* even if [subtle, indirect, or coincidental](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geofence), as though a form of eugenics, politics, economics, and [otherwise](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing).

Throw in human-trafficking & dating apps into this banal, bland, and bad recipe for a full cult experience or [experiment](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JKBBEiG5ZPk&pp=ygUKdGltIGRpbGxvbg%3D%3D&ra=m).

You’re either in or you’re out, but as discussed, but [this might not quite be the binary set before us](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hhBi1hJ9Okg&pp=ygUSVHJ1bWFuIHNob3cgc2lyaXVz&ra=m) or even structured in the language of thought.

The crux of the Incel/Femcel issue is: ********self-esteem********.

=== === === === === ===

#Chapter 2
——
**Labelology & Ambiguity Testing**
——

Labels are a form of quick False Witness on another. A label is typically an immediate judgement, and could lead to the ideas of a quick “ick”, or an easy mark.

Someone could say;

**“You have Anxiety”**
What is that? Aang society (meesíng wythe thee sillæblés)? You’re feeling Imposter Syndrome or you don’t want others putting Ego on you or you’re feeling pressure from someone/something?

Oh, you feel somewhat uncomfortable? Something wrong with the set/setting or are you being asked to do something you wouldn’t normally do?

Depression:
Da-Press-Shun; sorry you’re being ignored/censored/repressed (wait…) in some way.

Schizophrenia:
Does that mean there was brain surgery done on the subject [to split (schism) something](https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/particles-in-love-quantum-mechanics-explored-in-new-study/) like their [phrenic nerve](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrenic_nerve), or does the label require a different label. Are you merely trying to dehumanize/Other, delegitimize, or denounce your target/their statement or perspective?

Is this the essence of Control?

The word “schizophrenic”, out of these prior Mental Health Diagnoses/Labels could be disturbing in and of itself *merely to look at/reading the text characters* when there are other more typical “⚠️danger⚠️”-associated diagnoses out there. Perhaps it is this “feeling” about the [label] of Schizophrenia that [exacerbates the underlying issue](https://advancestudy.org/how-is-schizophrenia-different-across-cultures/?__cf_chl_f_tk=rvfarQTs2jMcvNVHRj.tQBJD5A__eCur8fVgnUYur6c-1783222661-1.0.1.1-dth0_mwfliDXsJ5AQHM8pVVGWuCIkr2Ivu8XDT5yF0I);
TLDR for this cited article: community, tolerance, attitude, circumstantials.

How about another one?

**“You’re an Alcoholic”**
Imagine someone claiming justification for holding/garnishing *your* wages because you expressed guilt/regret for drinking in the past month?

“Alcoholic” slaps the hardest because of the destruction and pain associated with this [label] (and maybe rightfully so), meanwhile chronic shoppers or money hoarders do not get the same sting from their choice-word of labeling. [Nympho], similarly, is frowned upon generally, but championed on more intimate levels. Some substance addictions seem to be considered “[the cost of doing business](https://www.reddit.com/r/TyrannyOfTime/s/zezKt2p62Z)”, brushed under the rug, and ignored for many reasons.

Here’s another one:

**”You’re Gay”**;
Imagine being called a word that has changed meaning several times since its inception? Gen Y (The “Wasted” Generation) were raised to consider negative connotations with this word, similarly how “het” seems to be considered nowadays (or the recent past) with negative connotations. [Additionally, Gen Y might be the first generation to have “rainbow propaganda” imbedded at almost every turn](https://www.reddit.com/r/TyrannyOfTime/s/QfZlnVk36a). Maybe the word was not intended for negative connotations, but perhaps intended for the individual to find getting this [label] as an insult or something to not be [happy](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gay){definitions 2, 3, 4} about getting.

What is the problem with homosexuals (male or female or NB/etc)? I’ve known many from all of the colors/labels of the rainbow flag and many of them were very good people, friends, and otherwise.

[What is the problem with heterosexuals](https://www.scotusblog.com/2025/06/supreme-court-rules-for-straight-woman-who-claims-she-was-subjected-to-reverse-discrimination/)? Also, why the blanket statements? Perhaps it is more difficult to think, that’s why people [judge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_judge_a_book_by_its_cover).

Is either one or both of these considered “unregulated breeders”? How [might](https://www.mdpi.com/2409-9287/9/3/60) that happen?

OK, one last one:

**”You’re a Narcissist”**;
Imagine being called the new childhood-playground-‘insult’ of “Gay”? [Pop Psychology makes everyone who is not some Mountain Monk Ascetic a Narcissist](https://www.reddit.com/r/TyrannyOfTime/s/XbFWIV4DtB).

You know, I’m pretty sure that my dog is a narcissist; all she does is think of herself: asking for pets/treats/walks, and acting like she owns the flat. [Little] [Gold-Digger]!

;

Now, with the infinite internet of sleuths, PopPsych, holier-than-thou types, and Judas Culture, you would be hard-pressed to defend (or defeat!) yourself, your character, your mental/emotional/etc self, your views and more from these [labels]. There is no seeming [way out](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/dcGQnpFYdw).

AI (or rather LLMs in tandem with AI Algorithms) can be [reflected several different ways](https://www.reddit.com/r/TuesdayswithPhony/s/NT6fFV77Rq) to bend or coerce your image/style into something that’s not you at all, based off false witness, mischaracterization, spiritual abuse and/or poor incentives/etc, not to mention the propagandization of all of us.

Labelology offers swift judgement and a maze of meanderings in what can sometimes seem like an Ambiguity Test.

Most all people are a blend of different philosophies, persuasions, set/settings, and more. To slap someone into a [word] is a poor excuse of the human condition as well as the use of words;

on that note, consider the label: [Asexual](https://microbenotes.com/hydra-reproduction-regeneration/).

Attributing this word to oneself is odd because you’re not reproducing yourself unless you have some Cloner gene-edit expression in your DNA, you’re just gooning or NNN-ing and trying to sound [fancy] about it (not kink-shaming).

Apologies for the label-acronym, NNN means: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Nut_November). A curious cultural phenomenon 🤔 is this due to a highly sexualized society, a highly repressed society, or something in between? (“[Unregulated] [breeders]”? [“illegal” imposters]?)

On the topic of Label-Adjacent Shame though: the [Devil] in each person is forgotten and placed on an Other/Scapegoat, and also, some might use one’s guilt/regret/complaint with themself to point at all of the problems of self/society because of that utterance or scuttlebutt.

~How dare you make a mistake/weakness and then admit it?!?

Is you are or are you isn’t????

SHAME!~

Shame can be a good thing when implemented with care, dignity, and respect of its kind, but once a label has been slapped on you, it and you [could be exploited heavily](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britney_Spears_conservatorship_case) with escape from the enablers/abusers quite difficult, especially considering the overbearing and imposing biometric-grid.

——

I’ve made jokes about iClones before, updating the term to iDolls, and then considered [what is known](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_Machina_(film)) and [what is unknown](https://m.youtube.com/shorts/dH1G13vKhio?ra=m). On my best day, if I felt in a braggadocios mood, maybe trying to impress someone, I might say that I know 1% of everything.

iDolls are one thing to consider (not as a relationship [not kink-shaming], but as a thing that might exist), but Dating Apps are an actual product/service. I’m not saying [tactics/strategy](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sI2rJnOa-f8&pp=ygURdHJ1bWFuIHNob3cgbWVyeWw%3D&ra=m) of some Domination Culture or Eugenics Experiment w/could direct/traffick certain individuals to certain individuals, but life is sometimes stranger than fiction.

Some claim that Dating Apps [are a “numbers game”](https://pngtree.com/freepng/running-gesture-cartoon-illustration_4547835.html), but I’ve found that those types have less success with them, yet certain tactics (previous link) make filtration and testing a critical (and tiring!) component of the service, at which point everyone more or less gives up on the service. Dating Apps aren’t rocket science! Dating Apps are a [Humanities](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/emperor-palpatine-ironic) subset.

Regardless: [Authenticity], [Organic], [Realness]; it’s difficult to know/know know what is what or who is who, especially on the internet, these days. A deeper glance here seemingly would be akin to having 🎶”Halloween on Christmas”🎵, which just means you might somehow be married to [Agent Smith from the Matrix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoppers\_(film)).

The last time I tried the dating apps I kept having doctors show up in my algorithm (HELLOOO [NURSE](https://whdh.com/news/locked-out-nurses-return-to-hospital-work-after-largest-healthcare-worker-strike-in-state-history/)!) and it made me feel inadequate.

Anyways, what I theorize, besides self-esteem, to be the true cause or method of Inceldom and division in general is [Narcissistic Triangulation](https://www.simplypsychology.com/articles/narcissistic-triangulation).

This is the path of control, imposed impotence, and misdirection that entrap people who might merely be in a “dry spell”/training period (as in they might need to work on themself in some way(s)) seen in such ideologies offered by the Red-Pill movement/the Manosphere (“Bros Before Hos”/ My Self Culture / looksmaxxing) and a [conjunction of other philosophies](https://www.reuters.com/technology/ai-and-us/pulpits-chatbots-how-ai-is-fusing-with-religion-2026-02-07/).
[Note: I’m not accusing anyone within these spheres of anything, nor men or women, just that the philosophies/ideologies within could be boiled down to a binary that many find abhorrent for different reasons, and might be a big part of the creation of “Inceldom”. It takes a village, and conspiracies are either fake or they actually happen. You ever wonder why there was never a [Truman Show Sequel](https://screenrant.com/truman-show-2-news-cast-story-release-confirmation/) {haha timing?}, or if he needed an Entertainment Lawyer, Human Rights Lawyer, IP Lawyer, Environmental Lawyer, Family Lawyer or all of the above and then some?]
[Additional Note: the “Left” can be just as toxic, this post is not necessarily calling out the “Right”; the Right has absorbed Incels/Femcels for different reasons, it doesn’t mean the phenomenon wouldn’t exist on the “Left”, it might just appear in a different way, with a different [Label], and perhaps in a different era. An example: everyone is upset with the GOP with the Voting Rights issue, but when the Left thrusts candidates who were not placed through primaries as the only “choice” there isn’t as much complaint; the middle ground is neither side are really letting you know/have options in voting.]

“A holes a hole”, “here bro, lemme show you how to use this gym-machine; ooh your muscle is really solid here, great form”, “there’s an epidemic of gold-digging whores!” (Not kink-shaming.)

There’s not much else to say here except that so much of our society seems hell-bent on getting society to doubt society, each other, and the intentions of life.

#Afterword
——

The Incel Cultural Phenomenon is wrought by Culture at Large, potentially as an experiment, eugenics system, or as a means of [Control](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RrFi8W8jzxU&pp=ygUWYmxhY2sgd2lkb3cgcGhlcm9tb25lcw%3D%3D&ra=m) of [individuals], [groups], and both of their ideologies, incentives, behaviors for the ([relatively]) easiest means of execution, indoctrination, and division based off of completely normal or circumstantial phases of life of members of society who now have access to a community they had been seeking for, yet its common point is self-perpetuating, self-reinforcing, self-condemning, and self-damaging.

Incels are targeted because of their lack of [self-esteem](https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0330118), and there are plenty of people whom would be happy to take (ad+)vantage, and ~~help~~ exploit/extract from them and their needless suffering. Every Individual should be trying their very best, like no one ever was, to be their best; the issue comes in when Others [extract](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theft) the Individual’s potential in the form of Identity, Property, Relationships, and otherwise while blaming the Individual for not adhering to the Other’s Shifting Baseline Syndrome of an unachievable ideal of “Perfection”, “Success”, or “‘Making It’”, or what have you.

The tactics employed are typically subtle, indirect, coincidental, and shadowy in nature. One could claim this “care” to be Darwinian, Healthcare-adjacent, Entertainment-Gambling, Research, Industrial-Complex fuel, and any number of subjects; it could be all of the above and more.

What was that quote about populations of disillusioned young men about?

You think Bigfoot, UFOs, AI, and other human-like mysteries have anything to do with the Incel/Othering or adjacent subjects?

“No one is coming to save you, you have to save yourself”; this is exactly why people ask “why bother?”, it spits in the face of [empathy], [community], and [life] itself.
;
“No [doctor] is going to cast your leg, you have to set and splint it yourself” / “No [mechanic] is going to repair your car, you have to buy the tools, educated yourself (*not* via YouTube or schooling though, because people are there helping people learn), and make the parts/fluids yourself.” / “No [chef] is going to teach you how to cook or store ingredients, you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette.” / “No [electrician] is going to re-wire your house, you have to play it by ear, be a scientist, and figure it out through trial and error.”

🙄

[Labels] kill the Mind, rational judgement, and critical thinking;

[Doubt] in the form of Algorithmic Propaganda (“just give it time!”) kills the Heart (or Sports Gambling sometimes attempting to rouse it, which may or may not have the opposite or unintended effect);

[Harmful Ideology] in the form of Domination, Misdirection, and Nihilism kills the Spirit;

And all of the above kills the [Body](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/social-instincts/202404/the-concerning-global-rise-in-hikikomori-syndrome-explained).

So, “Why bother?”

I’ve heard this question asked often, whether it’s some mind-tactic or a true feeling of desperation, but the asking of this question tells me that they still have Hope.

Some find that Strict Monogamy is the way out, but that c/would lead to further Control via outside influences, and besides the “Halloween on Christmas” trope could make getting an iDoll seem preferable, at least until you remember that [all technology can be hacked](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zNkI8lzCnyw&pp=ygUiTXIgdW5pdmVyc2UgZ2V0cyBhdHRhY2tlZCBzZXJlbml0eQ%3D%3D&ra=m). Some see Arranged Marriages as the means, but this also doesn’t work for everyone. The best path though, might be Cultural Behavior. “Be True to Thyself.” / “Build it, and they will come.”

Typically, when one has self-confidence is when they find self-confidants. Know that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and that there is always a bigger fish; “be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.”

Life is lived when you live it, but there might or might not be [harmful](https://www.wikihow.com/Lolcow-Meaning) enablers, [toxic ideologies](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gG-e06kJTvo&ra=m), and not enough [touching grass](https://www.coffeepals.com/blog/100-small-talk-questions-to-start-an-interesting-conversation) in our orbits and/or habits that we must eschew.

Consider that, perhaps, the code/context macro/micro codex could take the “Incel Cultural Issue” and translate it into “[Climate/Climb-it Phenomenon](https://buttondown.com/amoveablefeed/archive/heat-power-and-the-politics-of-a-fragile-grid/)”, and maybe even most any other narrative cycles/paths.

We are all we have, and the greatest blessing we know; remember what the supercomputer’s Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything from Douglas Adams's “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy” was?

[D](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4)o [B](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2)etter. (?)

[Kinda](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/kindred) like “Be Kind”.

TLDR: “[Clean] [your] [room]”; if you are Able to, at least.

[Addendum;
a cyclical post on the topic, more or less: (https://www.reddit.com/r/worldjerking/s/KNjbcSwO9i)]

[PS: Apologies for the formatting, I guess I am too [lazy] to learn the update, again.]

[PPS: Not an Incel, just poor in material means, and autistic enough to have a [vibrant inner world, but I do miss community. “It’s gone on for far too long” was ~20 years, even if I’m “right” (can’t say that particular one anymore though, I guess) in [a lot of cases](https://m.youtube.com/shorts/0H9tl4960YY?ra=m). I’m not claiming perfection, wisdom, or knowledge, or much else beyond just an observance of patterns, evidence, and considering the work of many others. I’m pretty content with a full iced coffee (black), Nature, and a notebook, but that don’t pay the bills (OR DOES IT?!).

The Four Pillar Framework for a Better World

(a 3rd draft)

~ * ~
The 1st Pillar
—— —— ——
#Truth & Reconciliation

We all deserve the truth as to what is going on in our lives, communities, country, and the world; some moreso than others.

Our biggest issues are aspects of human nature leading to mismanagement and corruption; others wanting to Control others.

The somewhat recent UHC CEO shooting is an ironic and tragic symptom of a breaking system. Power is Restraint, and what a patient allegedly did in response to perpetual pain, neglect, and the slow, systemic, bureaucratic churn is a kind of horror reserved for dystopian media, yet is all too familiar for too many people, including the ones upholding that same system.

How did human beings become so divorced from other human beings? Why can a program sort people into value tiers? Based upon what?

There is still time to change the road we are on, one that can lead to joy, fulfillment, passion, profit, and prosperity. We have so many blessings with our beautiful gem of a planet and much more in common with each other than not.

Truth and Reconciliation can go a long way in restoring trust in our institutions, finding the weak points, and levers of change within the system that are often unneeded opacities, and offering a kind of reset required after the prior century’s litany of traumas, strife, and technological, cultural, economic, and societal exponential changes.

Without this standard, the board is not easily defined, the pieces are arbitrary and forgotten, and the rules are bent in a way as to be broken and whole at the same time.

This cannot be, but repair is possible and begins in the form of Truth & Reconciliation.

=§=

The 2nd Pillar
—— —— ——
#Clean Slate Protocol

There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes, and often in the name of National, Regional, or Global Security. We must embody a mindset of mercy and foster a disposition toward forgiveness in order to face what should be known and how to remedy compounding issues that have been incentivized to a doubling-down mentality based on ignorance, ego, and a clearly harmful status quo.

A certain former politician essentially made themself an accessory to whatever crimes others in administration have committed.

A certain business tycoon had mentioned the dark underbelly of political enforcement as well as claiming the 2024 election was rigged, which includes the Executive branch and its appointments, and 1/3 of the Senate.

We don’t know how far back these issues have been present, but it seems clear that the timespan is likely decades.

The ability to apologize and fix mistakes, as well as the achievements of our civilization should be enough to legitimize everything we have worked for together for so long. Admitting mistakes and then fixing them is one of the most admirable qualities a leader can have.

That might be what leadership actually boils down to; responsibility, accountability, and having the gumption to clean a mess.

The process of building a better world can only really begin with a promise of clemency; this would take the form of Radical Forgiveness, and a Clean Slate for most everyone.

Consequences should be mete out appropriately to the most egregious examples even if it means reorganizing or changing some things if they would be better for the nation, the People, the Planet, and the future.

The worst offenders should still live out sentences and/or pay fines, but we need to be able to move on in Good Faith or the cracks will deepen and everyone will lose far more than they think they know or can realize.

Sometimes the worst offenders are not those at the top, and it depends on specific types of crime, infractions, or the wonted nature of what has been done.

Radical Forgiveness sweeps the past debris of our civilization’s worst tendencies or choices and allows us all to move on in Good Faith towards the making of a better world, a healthier society, and productive Cultural Behaviors.

=§=

The 3rd Pillar
—— —— ——
#A “Basic” Foundation

Our country is a mess, and it seems a continuous kind of mess that leaves a subtle storm in the hearts and minds of us all.

We require a foundation for life; barring this, crime will grow, fertility will continue to crash, and prosperity and profits will decay. Much of our issues would be resolved with a policy ensuring Basic Needs.

This kind of policy is akin to Universal Basic Income (UBI), but offers assets/assurances instead of a capricious fiat or digital currency. This kind of policy might be better to be known as (Basic).

Again, Basic would *not* be money/cash given, doing so would potentially incentivize increased costs and exacerbate our growing issues. Money/Cash given would also run afoul with taxes, among other issues.

The assets/assurances that Basic would include are:

- ⁠A food/water stipend (like SNAP/EBT/WIC card; note that these currently have limits, and those individuals on this benefit usually still have to pay for a full month’s food requirement).

- A national healthcare card (akin to Medicare-for-All; as of now medical insurance is deeply corrupt when 2 Advil in hospital can cost $500). Most ailments can be remedied with an Urgent Care facility visit, a Pharmacy visit, or simple knowledge for self-homecare. Hospital visits are typically for emergent issues, or the need of lab testing, specialized equipment, or otherwise, and more than often enough these are offered at Urgent Care facilities.

- ⁠A rent pass (similar to Section 8). I consider the juxtaposition between a Bachelor’s Degree with a Bachelor’s Studio. Most all people just want a place to live with security, dignity, and prosperity, and should be placed where their spatial needs are met. If one wants more than a studio or apartment, an option to move into another housing tier would exist if they can pay for more space/amenities.

Millions of people already live with benefits like these, so we know that it works, and that a framework structure of how it does exists.

Additionally, most or all of these covered assets/assurances are subsidized by the government and constituency as is (ie. Taxpayer money). Furthermore, these Basic benefits would have the option to be waived for tax credits or other incentives; this framing ensures that everyone from all tax brackets can benefit from this policy.

This particular Pillar likely requires much more discussion, but this Pillar is also the most essential to a healthy and thriving population in a time of the consolidation of human-made data, technological progress/overreach, and the rapid changes of a great much.

There are great many ways that the supposed costs associated with this Pillar can be paid (Wealth Cap/Money Museum, Small Change Stock Exchanges, Taxes, Data Value, etc) that I have discussed with others on this app before. Whatever the costs could be, the results would be garnered in compounding returns perpetually.

This Pillar points out the bottlenecks of Control, constraints, and essential needs that every human being requires. Many other countries offer similar benefits “as is”, and in 2026 it is astounding to me that so many go with so little for so long, and how that alone affects each and every one of us.

This Pillar identifies the building blocks for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

=§=

The 4th Pillar
—— —— ——
#Commitment to Excellence

Finally, we need to commit to the excellence of Humanity, our country, and who we are as individuals.

With the execution of these Pillars, moving forward there would be less crime and more prosperity. We could actually focus on issues with infrastructure, founding families, building communities and business, choosing best for the environment we all share, and developing or improving our individual strengths and weaknesses that would go on towards the betterment of self and society.

Changes likely would not happen overnight, and a good analogy here would be to consider the amount of time it takes a cruise ship to turn 180° and be underway, or how many people and how much timing and skill is required to operate a tall ship.

We should rest assured with the implementation of these Pillars that any crime committed could be doubly or triply punished, for to enact a crime against another is to enact it upon our unified tribe.

We also need to be aware of the rules, so perhaps there would be law changes, and perhaps a Citizen’s Guidebook for a simplified understanding of our social contract.

A great much could be simplified; for example, a more direct approach to governance might be possible, and an example might be Tax Forms.

Taxes could be more beneficial and amenable if We the People had a more direct say.

This could be done with a Citizen Tax Choice Form, which could offer maybe a list of 50 options; infrastructure, education, administration, VA, international aid, foreign policies, etc.

Voters/Citizens would choose in ascending order where they would like their taxes to go; 1 being the most sought after option for taxes, 50 being the lowest.

The tax forms and budgets could be organized individually or as a group percentage for polling purposes and to know what specific communities are seeking from their leaders. This would highlight the issues that everyday citizens face.

There could also be a similar Officiant Tax Choice Form that politicians fill out and be made public. This might help align voters with their political leaders better as this offers a perspective into what issues they actually stand for. Perhaps there would be different weights associated between Officiant and Citizen forms/taxes to keep a clearer understanding of the hierarchy of power and persuasion.

These updated Tax Forms could be done Federally, by State, and by Municipality, with different regions or overarching problems being part of a competitive tax market, which again, offers a more direct approach to our nation, our stewardship, and what matters most at different points in time over the years.

There is a lot that we can do if we take a breath, consider options, and discuss the best course of action. A better analogy here would be pressing “Pause” on a videogame to catch one’s breath to reassess, for a “bio break”, or to stop your dog from chewing your shoes; likewise calling a “Time Out” in a sports match to realign strategy, tactics, or to attend to an injury.

We the People are the boss, politicians are the manager, but we are all more or less driving this boat.

They say “life isn’t fair”, and I say it *can* be. We can achieve so much if we work together. A better world is possible!

Brigham Nurses Strike

It’s bananas that this isn’t getting more attention! I’ve done a deep dive into this. Don’t listen to the Brigham’s PR spin doctors. These are the facts!

July 8th corporate healthcare monopoly Mass General Brigham is letting 4000 nurses walk off the job, leaving patients of Brigham & Women’s, and the city of Boston in the hands of a few Scab agency nurses. The Massachusetts Nurses Association has informed the hospital there will be a one day strike. The hospital responded by informing the nurses they will be locked out for a week in retaliation. MGB clearly owns the media and is keeping this under wraps to make it appear the nurses are doing this abruptly. In truth they have been negotiating the nurses contract for months and have dug their heels in with an offer of zero percent pay increase, while increasing the cost of nurses health insurance. In effect a pay cut!!! It’s clear MGB hates the union and despises that the nurses have had some modicum of control of their working conditions. They came to the table with one agenda. To test the resolve of 4000 of the most skilled, hardest working nurses, and attempt to break down the union.

I pray for myself and all the residents of our city that we don’t end up in what is a war zone on its best day, next week. The Brigham emergency room. This is July! Brand new residents that have been doctors for quite literally, a day, and mercenary scab nurses that are only here for a six thousand dollar payday will be our only hope. The nurses that are the last line of defense between us and Harvard Medical school will be out on the street, ready to work, but locked out.

Please stay safe Boston! This could be a city wide crisis

A timeless quote from Cicero

It isn't really about owning a garden or a huge collection of books. To me, it's about having a place to find peace and a place to keep learning.

In a world full of endless scrolling, deadlines, and constant distractions, this idea feels surprisingly modern. A garden represents calm, patience, and being present. A library represents curiosity, growth, and lifelong learning.

Whether it's a real garden, a small balcony with plants, a Kindle, or a local library, the message seems timeless.
