When you reject AUTHORITY — you’re left WITHOUT authority

(unless you can replace it with some other authority)

 

Now unless you yourself are THE authority — then again: you are left without authority

 

Therefore simple logical conclusion is that now you’re IN THE DARK

 

Being in the dark is not bad

It’s better than being wrong

Better to know that you don’t know — then to think that you know

 

However chances are the authority was NEVERTHELESS more often right than wrong

(and right when it mattered)

You’re probably NOT better than our modern world, not smarter

Therefore in rejecting our imperfect institutions, imperfect authorities — you nevertheless set yourself back

 

But this is not even the worst option

The WORST problem is that you actually did fail the LOGICAL procedure

The WORST problem is that you failed to admit that now you’re left WITHOUT authority

Meaning you DID replace the previous, imperfect authority — with a truly unreliable, new makeshift authority

 

PERHAPS your new authority indeed has all the answers

Perhaps you are so blessed to have discovered the ONLY REAL source of TRUTH

Or perhaps it’s even worse than the previous source

Perhaps it’s an outright fucking FRAUD

The exceptional is not always exceptional in a good way

The abnormal is not always abnormal in a good way

Sometimes the NORMAL is simply the best we have

 

What a shame

You were angry at institutions and authorities which failed you

You were very excited to receive the only source of ABSOLUTE TRUTH

You were petrified of the prospect of being left without any authorities, without any guidance

So you replaced the bad with the far, far, far worse

 

…and then it still gets worse!

Because once you crossed certain line of MISTRUST, of extreme SCEPTICISM, of some minimal respect for the NORMAL, the REGULAR, the ESTABLISHED,

there’s often NOTHING MORE holding you back from truly plunging headlong into the fucking cesspool of tinfoil scum

 

It’s actually very hard to become a sane person in the first place

ACTUALLY following social conditioning, “common sense”, is not so horrible after all. At least we don’t all jump out of the fucking buildings thinking we can fly

To be truly sane, meaning wise, abnormal in a good way , ENLIGHTENED — is to root one’s expansion of POSSIBILITY and CONSCIOUSNESS in REAL, MEASURABLE, TANGIBLE REALITY

It’s a lifetime of hard work on things which really make a difference, which are not skewed by randomness, it’s the lifetime of pursuing the few truths to be known within this lifetime,

Some great man embarked on this mission, some brilliant man

And THEN THEY FALL INTO THE FUCKING CUCKOO’S NEST

They became a little bit too confident

Flew a bit too close to the sun

And became a little bit TOO DISILLUSIONED with the authority

And the plunged the fuck in

Into the land of MADE-UP authorities,

Because if the real authorities are wrong — the NEW one’s must be right

And it’s so disappointing to see

Lifetime of truth-pursuing. Something an average mediocre human-zombie knows nothing about

Only to so easily become deranged anyway

 

Shockingly enough AS USUAL the cure is just:

-epistemic humility, always asussuming that you know FUCK ALL

–REALITY, always testing something million times over, before you allow yourself the luxury of ANY confidence

but this simple recipe is also very difficult

if you can’t deal with it — then don’t presume you’re the man to reject authority

You’re just another moron, another idiot, another tinfoil fucking retard

You’re the very thing you believe the rest of the gullible world to be

You’re the sucker

 

It’s ok to be mediocre — because you have no idea how hard it is to be exceptional

You have no idea just how much MADNESS comes with GENIUS

And if you are ready for the red pill,

Then prove it with action — not with words

Prove it with real results — not with resulting beliefs

And be honest about it

And for the last time:

Better to learn that you don’t know — then to think that you know

You can use the existing institutions and authorities — or you can reject them

But think twice or hundred times before you believe you have found a good replacement
