Electricity as Elixir
I’ve slept about 5 hours in the past 72, so forgive me if this is crazy, but sometimes that’s the price of insight; once all normal thoughts that have been thought, there’s nothing left, but new thoughts.
I wonder, here at the first quarter of a new century, how much we have traded away and whether it was worth it or not. I’m thinking now of political thought. The amount of time we’ve wasted on a fixation with the left and the right that could have been better spent on other endeavors. That the engagement is almost compulsory to stop, prevent or delay the actions of the other doesn’t satisfy the question.
It’s easy to say that confusion and disorientation, a sense of desperation, is the goal of those above the mass of humanity who actually pull the strings. Most of us know that already, but it doesn’t stop us from being confused and disoriented.
There aren’t supposed to be any answers, just the search for them. In that sense, we follow logic and come to a cul-de-sac. But there are no answers, only questions. Who killed Epstein? Was Trump on the list? Who is the January 6th bomber? Who really killed Charlie Kirk and why? On and on and I know, completely know, that I’m being distracted by all of it, even while I pursue my own goals and shove it to the back of my mind.
There are bigger questions and more important answers. Forget the left-right fixation for a moment and look at the time wasted, the mental cost of it all. Still, in my mind, there is the question: “What if I let up for a single moment, took my finger from the hole in the dike?” Probably nothing. I’m not that important.
What I’m getting at, in a long-winded fashion, is: What if, for a moment, we shoved all of that away and focused on those pulling the strings and started trying to frustrate them and feed them red herrings to chase in stead of pulling the strings? I mean, what if we fought the real battle instead of attacking the left, who are incapable of being anything other than brainwashed minions spouting propaganda? What if we just ignored them? I do, most of the time anyway. I see the ridiculous posts on Linked In mostly, because that’s a cesspool of liberal nonsense and the kneejerk reaction is to challenge it, but I know that’s the trap and so I avoid it.
I’m not saying that leftism shouldn’t be challenged, I’m saying we’re smarter than they are. The right can meme, for instance, because they still have humor. They didn’t have to exclude humor to accommodate the growing hatred of everything logical and right. They have to do that, because their whole existence depends on obliterating logic and reason. No one would accept their solutions if they solved problems. Besides, the left is too intellectually unstable to restrain from spouting the propaganda iteration of the day. It’s sad, really, because some of them are really intelligent and that could be used to make our world better.
Somewhere along the line the left stopped trying to make the world better and just focused on killing as many people as they could, in every clever way they could think of to do it, including importing and keeping free as many murderers as they could. They, some of them, must know that the whole Green Energy thing is a suicide pact, but their mental instability induces them to accept it, encourage it, despite all evidence and common sense.
So, can’t we find some way to disengage from the hostility toward them to better use our time and focus on the string pullers, find out how to neutralize them?
Think of it as an actual goose chase. We think if we catch the one goose we’re focused on, the rest will jump into the pen and we will have solved something. The stupid left thinks that they can kill their way to happiness and righteousness. The intelligent left knows that with the right amount of distraction and confusion, we’ll neutralize ourselves. And, if we won’t, they’ll kill everyone, because taking out Trump or Kirk isn’t going to do very much strategically and even strengthens the right’s hand politically. That brings us back to the problem: politics: the left-right fixation. That itself has stifled technological progress. Too many great minds have been absorbed into the confusion.
The bigger issue originates in the beginning of this post, by being willing counterweights to the left, we are doing nothing to actually fix anything. We often say, rightfully, that we can’t vote our way out of it. We can’t criticize our way out of it, either. We can’t ridicule our way out of it, because the left can’t be ridiculed, they don’t have enough self-respect for that. It’s a complicated psychological theory that suggests ridicule only works on people with self-respect, for those who know they’re even more despicable than we imagine, ridicule hardly lands a blow.
I don’t know the answer. It’s enough to recognize the problem with what we’ve been doing. The left-right fixation leads continually downward, not as a political counterweight, but as a force of correction. The left tries harder, is more organized, because they have a hive mentality, while the right, the independent thinkers, rush around in different directions attacking different enemies.
What is the layer above what is known? How are we best able to confuse and frustrate that layer? The easy answer is to eliminate the availability of electricity. Everything that binds us, that surveils us, stores surveillance, keeps records, all run on electricity. Drone batteries or cells have to be recharged.
This isn’t anything new. Anyone who has looked at the issues that face modern civilization understands that eventually, if humanity is to survive, electricity must be eliminated. Electricity, plentiful, almost boundless electricity is our prison guard.
This places further importance on devising our own means of generating enough to sustain our lives. Anything more than that is the source of enslavement.
And, I’m not suggesting that any action take place. Our enemies already understand that electricity is our, well, everyone’s weakness. Any conflict with a major power, and that level sinks to: anyone with a nuke, Pakistan for heaven’s sake, will begin with an EMP attack. It’s not a suggestion its a recognition of the inevitability of it and the necessity of it in the near future. Once AI is unleashed and Starmer’s digital ID, the only solution for humanity is to cripple mass, concentrated electrical transmission. In that sense, if the United States was serious about survival, they would be encouraging self-sustaining power generation for the home and crippling mass power generation.
Everyone knows that AI is the end of humanity. Those close to it, developing it, even, know it. They’re trying to meld with it to become immortal. I mean, the visions of these people are medieval. Go way back to the Fountain of Youth and you get how retrograde they truly are. And, electricity is their magic elixir. But if they achieve their goal, they end humanity and cross into some hybrid, as if that’s the answer to anything other than their own destruction. The more powerful and immortal they become, like gods, which they already consider themselves, they just want to put the final stamp on it, the more they will become jealous and resentful of the other gods.
Greek mythology lays it all out. This isn’t new thinking and that’s the problem. While the wealthy and powerful have reverted to roles in a Greek tragedy, the rest of us are stuck here working on problems solved decades ago and revived to keep us distracted from the knowledge that these “gods” are devising a hybrid humanity to then, since they are immortal, cause the demise of everyone they don’t need. This conclusion isn’t even original and was declared on the Georgia guide stones.
It’s really sort of a horse race. Will our enemies end our electrical generation and distribution as a first strike? Will the “gods” of power and wealth destroy us and then each other? Will we wake up and realize that convenience is our death sentence and change our way of lives, or give up and die?

There is a lot to unpack in your essay, T. L.
As you started out saying, it really is best to scroll past the idiotic postings of the leftists as engaging them in any factual ways is head banging time. A back and forth usually ends with them resorting to swearing and name calling. I stopped it (mostly!) several years ago.
Everything else seems to be rushing at break neck speed towards some type of showdown or a major event of some sort. From this Atlas (comet?) object heading our way through the solar system to wars and rumors of wars. To 'what is Trump going to say or do today' to, no one has been arrested, to yada yada yada. The PTB don't really care if nothing adds up or, if conclusions can be drawn that we are nothing but fodder and damn what the people think.
My wife and I found out in '09 at that Tea Party rally protest in D. C. that what we think does not matter. Every 2 to 4 years I swear I won't vote again, at least in the state or federal elections because it no longer really matters but, there I am, pulling the lever for the best of the worst!
As I scroll through X, Facebook & GAB I swear I'm going to shut it all down as there is so much crap being posted, including a LOT of A. I. garbage that I am wasting so much time doing so. I get a bit aggravated being reminded by all of the conservative 'social influencers' of just how bad things are and how we've all been taken for a ride, etc., etc., etc.
I keep saying I'm going to unplug and start reading the top 100 books that have ever been written and to start listening to more music but, here I am, rambling in a post on your Substack! LOL.
I hope you get some good rest, brother. At our ages, we really need it for all the reasons!
