Can the state of jadedness be the only thing that I’m “allowed” to feel in the eyes of those that spew all sorts of psycho-babble in today’s age? Is everything only geared towards more views and clicks?
“Bro, everybody’s views are down on YouTube.” That’s a phrase I’ve heard recently. I’m starting to wonder why that is.
Are some “AI chickens” about to come home to roost?
I don’t know if the term “nepo-daddy” constitutes as proper internet meme slang. If it didn’t exist beforehand, then I guess that means I invented it as of this writing. But what is a “nepo-daddy?” In my mind, it is an individual who is like Atlas! He carries the weight of the world on his shoulders and all those younger than him would be lost if it weren’t for this man, this “godly figure,” carrying the weight of the world itself. If these helpless, little Gen Z “far right nepo-babies” didn’t have the holier-than-thou presence of Charlie Kirk of all people, WELL!
... I mean, is there even a MAGA anymore? If they can no longer suckle Charlie Kirk’s oversized man tits that produce so much “Hitlarian”, Nazi-branded cow milk, I mean... what’s the point of living?
What is with this crap I keep seeing everywhere with content creators that I used to watch? “Candice Owens is so stupid! Look at Erika Kirk! Now she’s stupid! Nick Fuentes is totally not a paid shill for special interests! Donald Trump secretly sucks Israel off, under the table!”
Blah, blah, blah. Yak, yak yak.
What is this? What the hell happened to Tucker Carlson, him talking about demons, attacking him in his sleep? Me, sitting there, wondering if these so-called “demons” are really a bunch of CIA people that were a friend of his fathers?
Is the world becoming one, big giant larp? Am I too jaded?
The answer is yes to both those questions. And yet, despite all the pain in the world as it currently stands, I remain optimistic. Oh, yes. I can share you plenty of stories. There’s a Discord I’m subscribed to that’s shares X posts about nothing but the worst that human society can offer you in the year of our lord, 2026. And I’ve seen it all! Trans surgeries gone wrong! (Really, they all went wrong, when you think about it.) Migrant rapings of children! Migrant rapings of the elderly! Enforcing Sharia Law in American Cities! Society, going back to literal slavery! Child sex trafficking. Elites, doing weird, perverted things on an island, somewhere! Mysterious deaths of scientists and Donald Trump going, “Meh.”
The pain just never ends. And yet still I’m optimistic.
I’m optimistic in the likelihood that the next guy, after Donald Trump will go all the way and finally become the one, true “Hitler” that we were all hoping and praying for this entire time. Or whatever that means in the 21st century! I’ve heard so many people being called Hitler for the past ten years that it’s lost all meaning.
We are in a pit and there is a pendulum. And we get to choose which way the pendulum gets to slice us when it eventually lowers itself to that grand point in which we get hacked to bits in a very Edgar Allen Poe type fashion. And yet STILL I choose to remain the optimist!
I’m too old to have been the audience for someone like Charlie Kirk. I only heard about him in passing. My belief systems are not dictated by stupid nonsense on the internet and they certainly weren’t dictated by one guy who had way too huge of a head for his face! Even most of the people that I follow on the internet, I don’t really agree with when it comes to some particular issues, but I like the content that they produce.
And then there’s the case of Dan Carlin from the Hardcore History Podcast. I’ve been listing to this podcast for as long as he’s been uploading them. He is what I refer to as the “Deep State” canary in the coal mine. Forget all that nonsense, about this guy, calling himself an “independent.” He is not.
What he has is a “family” that he has to protect, according to him. To me, that word “family” doesn’t mean “family!” It could mean a number of things, like people you’re in bed with in a non-sexual way! Like a mafia syndicate! CIA shills also tend to keep repeating these weird phrasings. Once you start hearing it, you can’t unhear it. Phrasings, like “Get me a glass of water,” loosely translating to, “You are my slave and you carry my water, no matter who voted you into power! Fuck you and your change!” Phrasings like “What’s Good for the Goose is Good for the Gander!” In this statement, he alludes to how presidence dictates the rule of law within a country and how the tables can turn on MAGA if the other side ever got back into power. Which is all well and good -- except we already got the worst of the worst with Joe Biden. More than enough “presidence” was set with that guy. Are we a society with amnesia? I’m honestly asking.
I didn’t forget though. Not like some people out there, going “I don’t know, man. Joe Biden, Barrack Obama and all their communist shitheads plotted America’s demise, but this Strait of Hormuz thing is so much worse, bro.” Yeah, I don’t know about that. The difference this time is we’re not going go to “war” on behalf of the European Union, which is pretty much the only reason why we’ve gone to wars, going all the way back to Vietnam. Turns out the French suckered us into that one. And now all people on the internet are going, “Israel, Israel!” I hate to tell you this, but everyone has an incentive to screw us over for all we’re worth! Whether you are Jewish or not doesn’t seem to make that much of a difference.
What I’m try to relay to you, the reader, is the if you think ONLY Jewish people are capable of fucking you in the ass, then I have a bridge to sell you, because you are not paranoid enough of the human race! Not by my standards!
Do I really care about this Strait of Hormuz thing? Not really. Will it lead to a desired outcome? I sure damn hope it does, with the gas prices I’ve had to deal with! The “Q people” (You know who they are) keep saying that we’re going to get the nuclear dust from that one location we blew up with those “bunker buster” missiles. Then with that dust, we’re gonna find out that the uranium was sold to Iran by Barack Obama himself!
And I’m, like... sure. Whatever. After the horror that was the “Affordable Care Act,” I’ll believe the moon is made out of cheese if Donald Trump told me so! Either that or I’ll start to wonder if the existence of birds proves that an evil Zionist conspiracy is afoot...
(Cue Jaws theme music.)
Now, where’s my money, Israel?! (Looks at bank account, sees that I’m still poor.)
... Damn.

The Reasoning Agent
His work is cut out for him in a land of utter madness and horror.
(Originally published on Substack on May 18, 2026)
“With the arrival of electric technology, man extended, or set outside himself, a live model of the central nervous system itself. To the degree that this is so, it is a development that suggests a desperate and suicidal autoamputation, as if the central nervous system could no longer depend on the physical organs to be protective buffers against the slings and arrows of outrageous mechanism.”
So, this is a follow up to the previous editorial, entitled “I’m Jaded, not Doompilled (And So Can You!)” All these editorials are intended to be a “somewhat lighthearted” series of thought experiments. Or at least an attempt to be as such. I am not here to argue with anyone, because we are WAY past the arguing phase! And it wasn’t me who made that decision. It was the Dan Carlin’s of the world who decided on it first and foremost!
Why? I don’t know. But I can point to some possible explanations. The way college discourse has been set up in this country is embarrassing as all get-out. Who decided all this nonsense about “safe spaces?” That we have to handle everyone with kids gloves? It’s because you have to make the population docile enough to accept things like this:
I could go on and on and on. I’ve signed up to a Discord that serves me nothing but depressing content like this, 24/7. It is honestly the most soul-crushing Discord server you could ever be a part of! And I do not recommend going on said Discord server if you are a heavy drinker who may or may not end up dead in a ditch from alcohol poisoning, like Edgar Allan Poe.
And, really, that last video from TikTok is the most egregious. This is the kind of content where I seriously do not blame you in the slightest if you have to resort to late night heavy drinking, just to be able to comprehend this level of demonism that has descended upon modern society. This is coming from someone who doesn’t believe in any one religion, but HOLY CRAP! What the hell are we doing to ourselves?! Why have we decided for any of this to be allowed within our culture?! Within our society?!
But this is largely besides the point of where I’m getting at. The point is the Dan Carlin’s of the world decided that the only “conservation” that should ever exist is the one where the majority inside the college classroom agrees “cart-blanche” with whatever argument Dan Carlin has! He’s explained this in one of his earlier “Common Sense” podcasts. In this explanation, the college version of Dan Carlin would go “Oh, you disagree with me? Let’s put it to a vote!” And then everyone votes in favor of Dan Carlin’s stance on whatever argument was presented.
And I’m, like... okay. But these high schools are not sending their best. Especially now, given how most colleges aren’t even looking at SAT scores anymore! Most kids, coming up right now at this very moment do not even know how to read the words on this very Substack page!
Oh, what’s that? You want to argue with that statement? Oh, no! What’s all this that I have here for you:
You know, I could have had the life of a teacher. That would have been fine with me. I would have taught basic grammar to 4th graders. There’s nothing wrong with that sort of thing, and it’s also a huge plus in my book if you’d rather NOT teach those 4th graders how to have anal sex with an adult male! That would have been fantastic!
But no. These are the cards we’re dealt with. And you may be sitting there, going, “Well, shit. What are we supposed to do about it?”
Am I arguing for an IQ test before you get into that voting booth?
Wouldn’t hurt. See, back then, you had to to be a home or landowner in order to vote. That worked well for those people, least from what I can tell.
If companies like Black Rock can be labeled as “people,” does Black Rock have the right to vote?
Silly rabbit! What do you think lobbying is?
I was thinking about this in realtion to Charlie Kirk, and on some level, I get it. But still. The term “influencer” leaves a nasty taste in my mouth whenever I say it. A more proper term is a “Reasoning Agent.” Asmongold falls into this category of “Reasoning Agents.” Someone disagrees with him in his Twitch chat. He pulls him up and argues with this guy in the most autistic manner possible. And he’s good at it! I’m not attempting what he does. I don’t have the patience for it. I just assume the person arguing already knows that his argument is wrong and he doesn’t care if it’s wrong! The guy arguing with Asmongold has a square peg and he’s going to fit that square peg through that round hole, goddamn it!
We’re always looking to someone else to explain to us what reality is. We’re always looking to the X22’s. The Asmongolds. The Alex Jones types! The whatever! I’m not telling you to stop listening to your “Reasoning Agent!” I’m just telling you to go find some different ones that you may or may not be used to. People who have a weird or off-ball take about things. (My personal favorite is the No Agenda Podcast.)
The truth of the matter is this: I never assume that I have all the answers to everything, which is why I cannot call myself a doompiller. I take whatever I hear for this source or that source and I piece it all together into a cohesive package that makes sense to me. Meanwhile, a doompiller will tell you to nuke all the places in Texas that got taken over by Muslims, which I don’t think we have to go that far.
Then again... White Boy Summer has only just begun.
I’m just saying. “White boys” are beginning to turn a slight shade of ghetto, in case you haven’t noticed.
And really, is there any surprise about it, when a white guy gets passed for a promotion time and time again at a certain prestigious newspaper rag because of “racial diversity quotas?” What timeline do you think we’re in, boomer?! No one reads a newspaper anymore! They read Substack! (Or Tuhat.)
You stop a black guy from driving down the road often enough and they start to think the police hate all black people.
You get big name companies like Microsoft and Google to no longer hire white guys, well…
