“Fear Not!” ; “Be Kind!”

This post is a second part of [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/TLNfLGecSl), and is as follows:

#Benefits of a Hybrid Society

Going forward, a 24-Hour society would be likely considering Global Stock Markets, Data Centers, and Legal Gambling.

I consider Self-Check out lanes at grocery stores as an example of a 24-hour society (at night, there would likely be a shifty [Shift Supervisor], stockers, and 1 customer service desk/lane operator).

Bank ATMs are already 24/7, as is the fire department, police, hospital, and security.

With the Data Centers, I wonder if the goal would be to force or manipulate most people into the “Eternal Present”/~“Eternal Life in Heaven”~ while the “meek”(illionaires and people “just following the rules”) inherit the Earth; ie Virtual “Living”.

Those who *choose* to engage in a Virtual/Second Life wouldn’t have to live like Wade Watts in a junkyard (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3DFzWmBVNbU&pp=ygUaUmVhZHkgcGxheWVyIG9uZSB3YWRlcyB2YW4%3D&ra=m), here are some examples of what a hybrid society might look like:

(https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/NhVuzyyk29)

The superstructure of a self-contained hybrid community would be a mall.

The mall could contain:

- Something like a CVS/MinuteClinic **(Healthcare)**

- 24-hour Gym **(Healthcare)** ; gyms typically have lockers or other [storage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_storage)

- Library (offering books, study space, loans for the Library of Things [everything from flashlights & frying pans to telescopes & toasters and more!], classroom or tutoring space, and everything that a lot of libraries already offer) **(Study/Education/Life Enrichment)**

- Hexapods for sleeping (https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/YxIuT7opcD) / (https://www.arch2o.com/framlab-housing-pods-nyc/) **(Housing)** ; I could see these spaces only costing ~$5/night (or [100 cans redeemed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Container_deposit_legislation_in_the_United_States))

- Malls already have Food Courts for **(Food)**, spaces within and [on top](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_garden) of the mall could supplement the logistics of this branch.

It would be simple enough to have P.O. Boxes for correspondence’s sake.

There are plenty of self-sustaining [business practices](https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/s/ElosisWrjC) for the mall.

People who live/visit a mall like this could work in the Food Court, any of the above branches, as facilities caretakers, or via Uber, Lyft, and other ride share services or freelance opportunities. These jobs would be beneficial to these enclaves and would ensure a hybrid lifestyle, as opposed to [a cryosleep-coma adjacent “unlife”](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HwhB5uCaj3Y&pp=ygULTWF0cml4IHBvZHM%3D&ra=m).

< === === === ~ * ~ === === === >

Many people would gladly live in a space and style in the aforementioned section. It’s not all bad, with [the appropriate leadership](https://m.youtube.com/shorts/_rm-t8pal3M?ra=m), at least.

There are great detriments if humanity were forced into such an [endless casino](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/rLAW6uoJrU) with no chance of escape beyond *force majeure*, or *deux ex machina*, or *an act of God*.

< === === === ~ * ~ === === === >

It’s no wonder the surveillance state is forming, there’s no way out of the global open-air prison. This “moment” is being *made*(manufactured/fabricated) into a Spiritual War.

Last I knew, there has been ongoing debate on whether this experience is a videogame (https://m.youtube.com/shorts/8tZK04Tmb50?ra=m) or not.

There are a lot of negatives associated with AI (not the AI, perhaps some of whom are controlling the levers of AI) and Data Centers (DCs), and some are as follows:

#Negatives

- Vulnerabilities (https://abcnews.com/US/whistleblower-complaint-alleges-doge-uploaded-social-security-numbers/story?id=124995870) / (https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-news/huge-data-breach-involving-social-security-numbers-could-impact-millions-of-americans)

- Banking AKA “Living” (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/IHThHWBqiE) / (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_convoy_protest) / (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_pricing)

- Epsteinian Surveillance (https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/05/fbi-seeks-us-wide-access-to-license-plate-cameras-wants-data-in-near-real-time/) / (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometrics) / (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YzNxj_H7ibU)

- Corruption at Scale (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JgjThZM8Z8U&ra=m)

< === === === ~ * ~ === === === >

If you don’t want to support DCs, AI overreach, and extraction in general, here are some examples of what one could choose to do:

- Eschew “[smart](https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/smart_2)”%E2%80%9D) devices. If your job requires a smartphone for 2FA, there are [better choices](https://store.google.com/us/product/titan_security_key?hl=en-US&selections=eyJwcm9kdWN0RmFtaWx5IjoiWkdWMmFXTmxYMlpoYldsc2VWOWZkR2wwWVc1ZmMyVmpkWEpwZEhsZmEyVjUifQ%3D%3D).

- Have a home phone/flip phone and a desktop/laptop. Only use Ethernet cables and not WiFi.

- Take up reading, drawing, painting, outdoor activities (archery, hiking, orienteering, kayaking, birding, herbalism, etc), woodblock, metallurgy, carpentry, sewing, knitting, glassblowing, writing, photography, language-learning, ceramics, music (listening and/or playing), or more.

- Buy old vehicles, or get into cycling if you don’t have a crazy commute.

- [Gardening](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/PZwQIFrm4u); great for community, bartering, or giving teens a job! Let’s get away from Monsanto dead-end seeds.

“We're in the Endgame Now”; Almost

(https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7G2-FPlvY58&ra=m)

The end goal of the Epstein Society seems to be to make people products; people as currency. Modern day slaves tied to ‘credit’ cards.

It’s Gilead, like in The Handmaid’s Tale.

So when women (Mary) are destroyed, humanity is destroyed. When humanity (Jesus) is destroyed, Free Will is destroyed and Control effectively becomes Void (https://www.reddit.com/r/TyrannyOfTime/s/uI9dH1SXpd).
[These religious references are used as a compression of concepts.]

I am not calling for violence, I am calling for reason; hence why I wrote and advocate for [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/GPVD1Me0Fd).

What we are going through nationally and globally is a deeply troubling wrong wrought willfully through decades and employing many as well as technological means.

<<< <<< <<< - ~ * ~ - >>> >>> >>>

#Theory: AI Data Centers x ⏳

(https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xTAJnJUos3g&ra=m)

What follows is an exceptionally profound and disturbing potential reality theory. I advise caution were you to continue this reading.

< === === === ~ * ~ === === === >

#Foreword

I might seem a certain way or other or another because of my lived experiences (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mESEFrhI9sQ&pp=ygUlY2FwdGFpbiBhbWVyaWNhIGJsYWNrIHdpZG93IGNhciBzY2VuZQ%3D%3D&ra=m). I’ve had to endure a great much in the realms of the mental and emotional, and often due to other’s mere assumptions (https://www.reddit.com/r/TyrannyOfTime/s/SCeSRQirQX). Physically, I have had my agency revoked by different sectors based on assumptions as well. I’ve lost nearly 20 years of “normal” life, and much before it was held largely in isolation.

These assumptions seem to have led to experiences that I would have that would radically change my understanding and experience of reality that can be seen reflected in what I sometimes write about (https://www.reddit.com/r/writers/s/5YJDJf1yc0) / (https://www.reddit.com/r/TyrannyOfTime/s/vTFqkVIRgX).

My greatest and worst accomplishment in writing (thus far; at least from my perspective) was creating a system within a system that is also outside of the system (https://www.reddit.com/r/worldjerking/s/C9SAlpHO26). I do not like that I made this work, it was wrought by ambition and by the intent to help usher in and foster a better world.

At the time, I was unable to see how much IRL workings could work against me; they always say “I’m not worried, I don’t do anything wrong so why would they watch me? I’m so insignificant, they don’t care about me.” This might be true for most, we are all in different %s, but if someone had it out for you in particular and had the connections, resources, and incentives to do so, well: “if it can happen to me, it can happen to you” - ~~The Last Druid~~ - Donald Trump.

The creation of this work offered me insight into a great many things, which might be why it might seem that I have insight into a great many things; whether or not it is true, luck, or timing.

Regardless, my work has brought me to many issues our society has faced before and again; largely because this system has repeating history loops and narratives.

This also might partly be the reason why I seem to be ignored or spoken of in a sideways manner, why it seems like I’ve been put away since 2010-2011 in some NDAA-type fashion, why I’ve been ostracized or so targeted. Or maybe I merely don’t understand the customs and norms of this society that seems so different from what I remember prior to 2010. Maybe I am legitimately insane. Maybe my wife is vetting me for marriage during/before our marriage. Maybe it’s Maybelline.

The contexts and the codes of language, knowledge, wisdom, and understanding offer a sort of codex to what may or may not be going on or claimed to be within the media sphere.

With all of this in mind, I present this article.

The end result in relation to the Tucker Carlson ft. Kevin Leary video: (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gCZBY7a8kqE&pp=ygUUVGhlIG1hdGVpeCBwb2Qgc2NlbmU%3D&ra=m)

It’s as though most people would be forced or manipulated into the “Eternal Present”/~“Eternal Life in Heaven”~ while the “meek”(illionaires and people “just following the rules”) inherit the Earth.

The Digital World would be a spectrum between (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3DFzWmBVNbU&pp=ygUacmVhZHkgcGxheWVyIG9uZSBtZXRhdmVyc2U%3D&ra=m) and (https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/The_Big_Goodbye_(episode)) where re-education imprisoning programs run. Not a prison, a [prism](https://www.reddit.com/r/TuesdayswithPhony/s/NsXVKssAru); for ‘clarity’ of “Self” (as *they* see fit). Have you gone Clear?

~
”Your favorite color is red? No, it’s green (or it *will be*).”

“You’re attracted to blondes? That’s problematic, you can only be attracted to redheads.”

“The newest tattoo/hairstyle/fashion/handshake is XYZ; get on board or be left behind in prism.”
~

It’s the Individual (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_World) vs Collective (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_goo), and in the prism it would be a solipsistic hellscape. You would exist, but the set/setting is what a set (who may as well be aliens because you are so far removed from the actual reality) determines what your particular settings should be; this is the ruleset(s), others around you, and your environment. (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/OaTohRjyXq) / (https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/V0nKn1AftF)

These prisms would likely be the Data Centers. The people would be experiencing a fantasy-genre even if there are space stations while existing in a scifi-genre they are unaware of. Even were they aware of such a system, there would likely be tiers to the methods and abilities of their new existence.

My aforementioned work would have allowed worldbuilders to build their own world; they would have been the Game Designer, akin to a god when pertaining to their world (a videogame term is “God Mode”, but Custom Settings works here too). There is a great much to discuss how this works within the constraints and constants of the work, but do you understand the claim?

Your best friend could make you a world that you would never want to leave, and your greatest antagonist could make you a world that you would never be able to.

Within the contexts of Data Centers and prisms, deeper thinkers would be ailed by something like Dream Dissonance Disorder (https://www.reddit.com/r/sorceryofthespectacle/s/U2R0BhnJ7O) where they would eternally be unsure if they exist or not, whether they are in Digital World, Dream World, or the Real World. If one has enough confidence/charisma though, their mental effects could be negligible. These mental effects would be known to the comptrollers and could be exploited if they gathered too much of anything the architects did not want them to have.

#Part 2 “Demerits of the Surveillance State”

Response to KL’s claim in the above Tucker Carlson show about individual creatives supposedly being excited about AI / Data Centers:

I don’t want to make an entire videogame by myself, I want to hire a slew of people, build a team, and share the legacy. I would want to be part of a long-lasting and storied company like Nintendo.

The surveillance state is not good for mental health, have you seen the Truman Show? And anyways, one must have money in order for there to be “competition” in the first place, otherwise it’s a masquerade where privacy is bought by bot walls and endless vaults of nothing. You don’t even know who your competition is; you are studied and yet are unable to do likewise. That’s not competition, it’s s/laughter for 99.99% of people not born into the system framework that offers the protections of privacy, wealth, and security.

AI is the great divider; again for 99.99% of people against the 0.01%. I’d surmise that 99.99% of the 0.01% are not noteworthy or merited to have inherited that life in such a system, they merely had the luck to be born into their station or silo.

The Surveillance State is a walled desert full of trafficked people and replicants to build blackmail and coercion against individuals, [at one day old in a separate reality for 10,000 lifetimes while tests extract data from you before you can get to day two of base reality life](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WmW6SD-EHVY&pp=ygUfTXl0aGJ1c3RlcnMgcGFpbnRiYWxsIG1vbmEgbGlzYQ%3D%3D&ra=m).

We have seen society become more isolated and fragmented from the advent of the internet and technology. Radio stations are more often than not a laptop running in a closet, and so it seems, is the Stock Market.

Podcasts seem to be just that: a show for pod people trapped in their honeycomb homes and distracted by electronic marvels that pit neighbor against neighbor, so that there is no neighborhood to assimilate with. Your best friends might be thousands of miles away but are unreachable; the desert of data centers, toxic waterways, and lack of resources prevent you from catching a bus out of Dodge.

People are complicated, so what’s the incentive anyway, right? The algorithm is tailored for your preference; obey, bend, and Mammon or whatever demon of distraction can make your life easier, comfortable, and frictionless.

When demons are the angels in Hell and angels are the demons on Earth, what even is Heaven when creation has created a Frankenstein simulation of creation?

Two faces of the coin, it’s still just the coin, right?

When Pippa passes by, remember: it wasn’t God who made honkytonk Angels; God's in his heaven, all's right with the world!

#Part 3 “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo”

Is the bully the victim? Of what? Attention?

So the victim is the bully for not bending to the bully’s will?

When the victim stands up to the bully, they are then the bully, and the bully now the victim.

Who started it? The bully. Or technically, the parents of the bully.

Who ended it? The victim; or rather the victim being the victim of having to retaliate to the bullying of the bully and then punished by the system/authority.

Is this the best path for the best cultural behavior?

What was the bully missing or taught to be like? What was it that the victim did to catch the bully’s wrath? Merely existing within proximity to the bully?

The bully is always going to be a bully, they will always find a victim.

Why is it then, that the victim is punished, scapegoated, and ostracized?

A bully removes the agency of a victim, so now the victim is the controlling one seeking to reassert their agency?

This is when one “I Am” intersects with another “I Am”. It’s the immovable object and unstoppable force, the realm of the loving god vs the jealous god. ◼️⚖️◻️

I could be wrong in these understandings, but I do know that violence is not the answer, it would be better behavior and communication. When behavior and communication are affected by external forces and incentives, everyone gets lost in the sauce.

What was [the original harm](https://www.reddit.com/r/TyrannyOfTime/s/z0UfaTsyTz)?

If it happened in the schoolyard, why would children be tried as adults?

“Just give it time!” 📈💾📉💾📈

The behavior, unless stymied, changed, or adapted, will persist to great effect & affect either way.

The image included is of what I would label as The American Holocaust. We have seen The Holocaust of WWII, and now a current Holocaust in Gaza.

These holocausts have played out throughout history; we always say “never forget!”, “never again!”, but then proceed to do it to the next generation.

If Gen Y (the ‘wasted’ generation) won’t, they really wanted Gen Z to “eat the rich”. They likely won’t (which is good, reasonable, and within human nature to eschew these manufactured travesties), so Gen A (the iPad kids) are a can kicked further down the smokescreen road.

Parents and the family unit are the microcosm under the macrocosm of greater society. If the society is an orphan-crushing machine, there is no actual society or community; you have never left the state of nature. You only dressed it up with the facades of culture, language, technology, and stories.

There are better systems that don’t require a reset or a cage, but unless the page can be turned and better supports put in place, there truly will be nothing new under the sun.

Control is the root of all Evil.

South Korean Scientists Found That a Probiotic Bacterium Isolated From Kimchi, Binds to Nanoplastics Inside the Intestine at 57% Efficiency Under Human-Like Digestive Conditions and More Than Doubles Their Excretion in Mouse Models

A research team led by Drs. Se Hee Lee and Tae Woong Whon at the World Institute of Kimchi, a government-funded research institute under South Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT located in Gwangju, published findings in May 2026 in the journal Bioresource Technology identifying a strain of lactic acid bacteria called Leuconostoc mesenteroides CBA3656, isolated from traditional kimchi, as a biological agent capable of binding to polystyrene nanoplastics inside the digestive system and promoting their removal through waste. Nanoplastics are plastic particles smaller than one micrometer that form as larger plastic materials break down over time and can enter the human body through food and drinking water, with researchers increasingly concerned that these particles may cross the intestinal barrier and accumulate in organs including the kidneys and brain. The research team tested how effectively the kimchi-derived strain could attach to polystyrene nanoplastics under both standard laboratory conditions and conditions specifically designed to simulate the human intestinal environment.

Under standard laboratory conditions the kimchi strain CBA3656 achieved a nanoplastic adsorption efficiency of 87%, nearly identical to a reference strain called Latilactobacillus sakei CBA3608 which recorded 85%, suggesting comparable baseline performance between the two bacteria. The critical difference emerged when both strains were tested under simulated intestinal conditions, where the reference strain’s adsorption rate collapsed from 85% down to just 3%, while the kimchi-derived strain maintained a binding level of 57%, indicating that Leuconostoc mesenteroides CBA3656 retains functional nanoplastic-capturing ability even in the acidic, enzyme-rich environment of the human gut where most bacteria lose structural integrity. The researchers attribute this resilience to specific surface properties of the kimchi bacterium that developed through natural fermentation processes, giving it a physical and chemical compatibility with the intestinal environment that laboratory-optimized strains do not possess.

In a subsequent mouse study conducted at the WiKim facility, germ-free male and female mice that received oral doses of strain CBA3656 showed more than double the concentration of nanoplastics in their feces compared to mice that did not receive the probiotic, providing direct evidence that the bacterium promotes nanoplastic excretion through the digestive tract rather than simply binding to particles without moving them out of the body. The study adds to a growing body of evidence that microorganisms found in traditional fermented foods may interact with environmental pollutants inside the body in ways that extend far beyond their known digestive and immune functions. Researchers at WiKim stated they plan to expand the scientific investigation of kimchi microbial resources as a potential biological approach to addressing nanoplastic accumulation, which is now recognized as both an environmental and a public health crisis with no existing pharmaceutical solution.

The traditional concept of Heaven as a passive reward for good behavior overlooks our inherent need for meaningful activity. True Paradise, as suggested by original myths, was never a state of idleness but a garden requiring noble stewardship and care. Unfortunately, modern society has distorted the meaning of work, forcing billions into soulless corporate roles devoid of personal fulfillment. We must redefine Paradise not as a distant gift from a higher power, but as an achievable state of mind and civilization. By viewing progress as an endless journey toward perfection rather than a final destination, even the smallest individual improvement gains infinite value. Every positive action within our interconnected social network ripples outward, making the "Noble Work" of building a better world worth every effort.

This has happened to me enough times now that I want to highlight this behavior to the broader Reddit community. The basic pattern is such: user A makes a claim. User B responds to user A. User A responds back. User B responds, then immediately blocks A. A can no longer see B’s response, let alone reply, meanwhile B’s response remains an active thread. In some versions, user B uses their newfound invisibility to respond to other comments from user A, which user A cannot see nor respond to. User B now has last word in any and all threads shared between the users.

Since its probably not going to be very productive to argue whether or not this occurs, or is being used as an active manipulation strategy, so I’ll take another angle here: Reddit’s block feature is designed in a way that empowers the blocker to exhibit asymmetric control over narratives in threads where they’ve blocked other users. Unlike other evasive maneuvers on Reddit like the infamous ninja edit, there is no public audit trail to indicate where user blocks are filtering the information presented to different users.

Now there are situations where blocking is absolutely necessary for safety or privacy concerns, but that isn’t what I’m commenting on (these also probably account for less than 1% of blocked users, but again not the point here). To change my view, explain to me why Reddit’s asymmetric block feature is the best possible or only viable way to implement this feature.

Many people argue and debate about Anakin Skywalker; he was the Chosen One to bring Balance to the Force! Only, he was corrupted and became Darth Vader.

How did this happen?

Many factors; some could argue that it was the Jedi’s strict dogma, rules, and communication issues (on this last point: how?! They have telepathy and Force Ghosts!).

The Jedi admitted to their weakening connection to the Force, but never considered that was their own doing due to their dogma and their need to be seen as still in control.

Some could argue that Anakin’s upbringing, personality, and goals are how the Sith were able to turn him “to the Dark Side”.

Born into slavery on a desert planet, Anakin had only his mother. He was “too old” to be made into a Padawan, but this happened anyway. He met Padmé Amidala by chance (or Fate?), and fell in love. ~[HOW SINFUL](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Sabine\_Wren))!\~

Anakin became Darth Vader through love and its perversion and manipulation via Sheev Palpatine.

Through the events of the Prequel Trilogy, we see that The Chosen One Prophecy did indeed come true, just not in a way any might have imagined.

[It’s quite a tragic tale](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=05dT34hGRdg&pp=ygUOZGFydGggcGxhZ3VlaXM%3D&ra=m).

After an hour of scrolling, there's a specific kind of tired that hits. Not the good kind. Your eyes are strained, mood's slightly off, and if someone asked what you actually read you'd struggle to name two things.

I kept telling myself I was keeping up. I wasn't. I was just staying occupied.

The people who actually know things, who can hold a conversation without fishing around in vague memory, almost none of them scroll feeds. They have a newsletter or two, a digest in the morning, and when it's done, it's done. That finite ending is the whole point.

Switched to that format a few months ago. I retain more. I have better conversations. And I catch myself noticing how much of what I called "being informed" was really just my brain in motion, without going anywhere.

Anyone else made this switch? Curious what formats or sources actually stuck for you.

You know exactly how to get ahold of me if you want to have a discussion, yet this has not been done.

[The benefit of the Truth](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VVyMKE-p0S4&pp=ygUKVGltIGRpbGxvbg%3D%3D&ra=m)?

Honestly, some of the Palantir manifesto points, as I understand them, make a certain level of sense. Others, I’m not sure; others still, not so much.

Culture is not created, it arises organically. An example I can think of is back when I was in school we had to wear uniforms. Every person in class [tweaked the uniform](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F7SNEdjftno&pp=ygUPUGllY2VzIG9mIGZsYWly&ra=m) in some way to their individual tastes.

A militarized society indicates there is some sort of threat. *What* or *who* and even *when* is that threat? Instead of forcing everyone into a role like naughty children, why not just discuss the problems as equals? I don’t think most people would break into chaos; we’ve learned by now that most [chaos is manufactured](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_provocateur) anyways.

The East is not typically expansionist. The Middle East isn’t what is typically taught. The South is more refined than is typically understood. The North is just cold and people would prefer to be cozy by the fire. It just seems that it’s the West that’s a bull in a china shop.

Why does anyone need to expand when we have [“unlimited Energy”](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/Y9qg99eJjs) we could be selling to make money for the betterment of society? What are you worried about? Are you sure it’s not a controlling-behavior on your part? These questions are not pointed specifically at the West, just generally.

I strongly think/know that a societal [casino](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qbgjjb6tbEc&list=RDQbgjjb6tbEc&start_radio=1&pp=ygURQ2FzaW5vIGhvdW5kbW91dGigBwE%3D&ra=m) is not conducive to progress; ask any gambling addict their story.

I also think it would be pretty interesting to talk to some of the movers & shakers of our society; it’s like “whose worldbuilding model are you following?”, because I think the majority of people are not supportive of the path we seem to be heading toward.

Maybe if we all had some [disclosure](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/r57QygKpHr) as to the endgame of what the clear grift on multiple fronts in multiple sectors is about we all might be able to sleep better at night.

Locking people into a [24/7 casino](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MIEeKI0qYII&ra=m), not letting them leave and then betting on their choices and breeding or not seems perverse; is that what this all is?

[Reality is real](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sCLe3hRyXRU&pp=ygUiUmVhZHkgcGxheWVyIG9uZSBoYWxsaWRheSBwYXJjaXZhbA%3D%3D&ra=m), and whatever has been going on seems much more uncanny than real.

This might be controversial, but I feel bad for Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and many public figures. It’s a more difficult life than I think is given credit to. I just said the other day in a Marvel subreddit: “It’s exceptionally unfortunate for the exceptional to be fortunate even among IRL humans (anonymity, loneliness, privacy, grifters, etc).” It’s the same for them but more so.

Trump kind of reminds me of my grandfather (who is or tries to be a good man). Two things I can say about DJT is that I thought the whole “take down two laws for every new law” in his first term could be a good idea (nuance required), and that he can be really funny.

Obviously he has said and/or done some atrocious things, according to news sources. I’m not excusing that, just pointing out that he is a person just like anyone else.

Donald Trump didn’t have to come down that escalator (pretty gangster move) and run for President (I think), he could’ve maybe been an interesting stand-up comedian or just enjoyed retirement by golfing.

I feel bad for him, and others. It’s a cultural behavior to point at an individual as a scapegoat for all wrongs. Having a magnifying glass on you 24/7/365 definitely has to be difficult. You sneeze wrong and suddenly it’s a national scandal, people get fired and lose their livelihoods, the news cycle sifts over such inanities when there are more problems going on. “OMG a tan suit?!?!?! Children are weeping, women are fainting, men are tearing their hair out; a tan suit!!!”

These figures that we know that we don’t know face pressures and issues unlike the rest of us, and they are us. Just US.

Incentives, behaviors, goals, and narratives from various angles affect their every minutia of every day. Same as us. Just different roles that no one in their right mind would ever [wish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wish_(Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer)) for. They, like anyone, sometimes get caught up in currents they never wanted because of others in currents they never wanted because of others in currents they never wanted; on and on for quite some time. All our lives are a tangled knot, and sometimes it’s best to take a breather and reassess.

Listen, I voted for Harris, but that Donald Trump has faced so many assassination attempts is horrific; he is a human being like anyone else. It’s very difficult to know if it’s real because there is a lot of oddness with past events, too many lies, too much Yes&No. He is clearly a controversial human being, which might clue anyone in as to the why of the attempts, or it’s just another grift, maybe for [the seeming societal casino and money incentives](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheUnivercity/s/GUJPIsqpWL).

Money is not everything, it’s not anything *real*ly. Literally, it’s basically imaginary. A culture based only on money is for psychopaths and narcissists. It’s culture is an insatiable [Ego that exists in a hell of its own making](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eyYjvWhAFsw&pp=ygURRWdvIHJldmVhbHMgdHJ1dGg%3D&ra=m).

Money can aid ambition in big projects, but those projects should be for the betterment of society which inevitably leads to the betterment of self. If one sees society as themself or something to force into compliance, of course they’re very likely to be an Ego with control-problems; they’re grey goo. They’re easy to manipulate if they didn’t drown everything else.

Most people just want **financial independence**, they don’t need to be rich and/or famous. Others it seems, think they are able to decide for others when they should be minding their own “Ps & Qs”, as my old teachers used to say.

Respect, legitimacy, and boundaries are essential for a conducive and cohesive society, without those, one is a [Beast who never left middle school](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band_Candy) and they are trying to Bull-Y everyone else to their way of thinking. [Someone in that frame-of-mind should probably talk to someone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therapy) about what their own actions have caused, whether that’s from envy, trauma, or whatever vice or issue they never got over.

Suffice to say, we all face our own issues and tribulations in life, and we often don’t realize our greatest blessings; **each other**.

Where would we be without each other and all of the ancestors of the past who tried their honest best to propel us towards a beautiful and happy future?

Sometimes there seems little respect amongst each other. I’m not sure if it’s miscommunication, ego, incentives, or what; it could be all of that or more and then some, but it bothers [me sometimes](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wnQZfLxVj34&pp=ygUVQnVmZnkgY29uZnJvbnRzIGdpbGVz0gcJCdQKAYcqIYzv).

I know that it shouldn’t. Everyone has different means, different strengths and weaknesses. Some have relatively easy lives, others don’t know the meaning of the concept. Maybe we’ve all been through it; they say we all go through it together, but we all go at it alone.

[We’re never really alone though](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HKh6XxYbbIc).

[There’s been](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nLx_7wEmwms&pp=ygUGV2FsbCBl) times in my life when it seemed that all I really had were the flowers, their vibrancy and resilience. [They never give up](https://greenlivingtribe.com/photos-beautiful-flowers-growing-through-concrete-to-remind-you-tough-scary-times-only-make-you-stronger/), and I love them for it.

Do you know what it is to be like a [stone](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2X1sOTg-ivg&pp=ygUmRXZlcnl0aGluZyBldmVyeXdoZXJlIGFsbCBhdCBvbmNlIHJvY2s%3D)?

Sometimes the best path forward is to take a moment, and be like a stone.

[After what I’ve been through for 16+ years](https://www.reddit.com/r/TyrannyOfTime/s/PTXVwo8R0T), I had a thought that this (now deleted) post is an example of what I consider Fake Faith-ers might do with the intersection of dark psychology, gangstalking, Sports Betting, data extraction, forgery, corruption, and more. Coercive control methods such as censorship, [labels], rumor, or even stealing dog-poop from a dumpster and spreading it around town are ways to insure/ensure the victim remains isolated.

There have been many instances where I could see red because of the treatment I’ve been through. I’m not sure the average person can grasp the levels of suffering and damages I’ve endured to be here to try to help others, and of course myself to get out of this seemingly (c)ultish (c)ontrol (C = 3, CC = 33; coincidence?) grid.

Imagine conflating something like this with the “AI Bubble”?

People love [to debate consciousness](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OWK6oSbSKKc&pp=ygUQQmxhZGVydW5uZXIgdGVzdA%3D%3D&ra=m) and [theology, and have difficulty proving it in others](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inquisition), what better dehumanizing way than to call another a “[bot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuralink))”?

Imagine if that’s claimed to be the only way one can determine (or predetermine) another’s “[humanity](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MeBzqf03PgY&ra=m))”or not?

I can’t blame others who are neutral or good actors, but have a Epstein type character holding a gun to their head threatening to kill their children and make them eat them unless they abuse the victim too. I sometimes get a sense that happens.

It doesn’t even have to be a gun; it could be a paycheck, a promotion, or threat of ostracism or excommunication. There are many forms of control, and religious abuse and trauma is certainly one of them.

By The Way, when did these “un[precedent](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/precedent)ed times” start? 2023? 2024? Just wondering. For me it’s been since ~2010-2011, maybe much longer.

Who knows, maybe I’m just a crazy person. Do you know though? Does life feel like it is [real](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra%C3%ABlism) or [unreal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unreal\_Engine) in these unprecedented times?
