Of course the UFC is a corrupt racket. What else would you expect from people who punch each other in the face for a living? You expect truth, integrity, and consciousness? Violent sports are always going to be a corrupt industry. Why? Because only corrupt and unconscious people use violence to resolve disputes. Only corrupt and unconscious people would punch each other in the face for profit. There is a parallel between violent sports for men and sex work for women, in terms of corruption and low consciousness. Men of low consciousness go into violence for money. Women of low consciousness go into sex for money.

The glorification of martial arts and physical violence is corruption, but the fans don't even realize it because the fans have the same level of consciousness as the owners and fighters. The less conscious you are, the more appealing you find violence. This is not a coincidence. It is also not a coincidence that people involved in this stuff are sexual abusers, rapists, batterers, felons, misogynists, and Trump supporters. Violence, lying, cheating, stealing, exploiting, abusing — they all come as a package. You don't just do one.

Macho vibes = fascist vibes. What is the correlation between a UFC fan and a Trump supporter? It's gotta be something like 90%+. Why? Development level.

Really contemplate this: Why do you find watching someone get punched in the face appealing? Seriously. That's not as trivial as it seems. Get to the rock bottom of that. Your interests reveal things about you, they reveal your true values.

Usually it comes from insecure men who were bullied in school, who weren't loved, who have trauma, who had dysfunctional parents, who are short in height — so they feel a need to be more macho by proving they can fight and by taking testosterone to make themselves look bigger and more manly. There is a macho fetish with people who love UFC, which aligns with political fascism, authoritarianism, and patriarchy. In the most extreme form it will turn into Nazism. But it's not all dysfunctional. In a low consciousness, low development society, effectiveness at violence is necessary because that's how such a society resolves its conflicts. It's ugly but it's necessary at that level of development, just as it's necessary for chimpanzees to fling shit at each other.

Using violence to resolve difference in perspective is mostly a conservative, right-wing phenomenon. Why? Because the conservative mind does not have enough openmindedness to adjudicate a difference in perspective consciously. It's much easier to beat you wife than to sit down and listen to her issues with an open mind. It's much easier to threaten your employees rather than to sit down and compromise with them on pay and benefits.

Remember, violence is not just entertainment. It's entertainment because it is an effective survival mechanism for low consciousness minds. In a society, the less developed the people, the more popular violent entertainment will be.

The mainstream self-help industry is so disgustingly corrupt. The more mainstream it is, the more popular it is, the more corrupt it is. And the most disgusting thing about it is, not only are all the most successful self-help gurus massively corrupt grifters, their grit is to teach their students and followers how to become grifters just like them. It's grifters teaching grifters how to be more effective grifters while providing a set of rationalizations for why grifting is good for the customer. The self-help industry sells courses in corruption which are bought by all the major podcasters, influencers, and Youtubers to optimize their marketing funnels. It's such a pernicious form of corruption masquerading as goodness and self-improvement. Naive folk enter self-help without any idea that they are being inducted into a corruption funnel.

This fucking guy takes narcissism and corruption to cartoonish levels.

There's no clearer example of how power and money corrupts than Elon Musk. There is nobody in Musk's life who can tell him No. It's like being a private dictator. You can see how badly this kind of dynamic corrupts the mind.

I fucking hate nightclubs. There's no stupider place to be on the planet. But I've been to and paid for so many nightclubs and experienced how they work from the inside.

This is a great video explaining the secretive business and manipulations of nightclubs:

Nightclubs are hives of corruption. Is it a coincidence that corruption, alcohol, stupidity, and sex go hand in hand?

But if nightclubs suck so much, why go there?

To learn to socialize. The more it sucks, the more you grow. Once you've trained in hell, normalize socialization is a walk in the park.

This is a peak behind the curtain of how conservative media companies operate behind the scenes, underneath all the fake conservative posturing about God and morality.

"The only God here is power and money."

This is the company Jordan Peterson works for. The man of God and morality.

Grasp this: Religious conservatives are incapable of being good people. Why? Because they never cared about truth. They never did truth-seeking. They never did philosophical questioning, they never did consciousness work, they never solved the problems of self-deception, ego, illusion, epistemology. Their entire lives are devoted to defending human bullshit, so of course they cannot be good people. The louder they speak about morality, the more corrupt they are behind the scenes. This is religious conservative virtue-signaling. To actually be a good person requires understanding reality as deeply as I discuss through Actualized.org. There is no other way to be good. Good requires truth. Good requires profound understanding of self-deception, epistemology, and ego-psychology.

I am not claiming to be good. But I am claiming to understand the prerequisites for being good — which is more than what any right-winger understands.

All conservative religion is epistemic ignorance and corruption, so it can never be good. Ignorant people are incapable of being good no matter how hard they try. Because goodness requires consciousness, not belief, not ideology, not group-think. It is metaphysically impossible to be a good person by following the ideas of someone like a Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, Steven Crowder, Jordan Peterson, or Denis Prager. Because they are not teaching consciousness. They have no idea what consciousness is or how it works. They have no understanding of what reality is.

This issue is not specific to Daily Wire or its hosts. This is true across the board for all conservative religious hosts, pundits, preachers, influencers, media outlets. Everyone at Fox News, all the right-wing YTubers and podcasters, talk radio. All of this is epistemic and moral corruption masquerading as genuine morality and spirituality. All of this conservative stuff is just unconscious survival: it's about money, power, fame, status, sex, reproduction, friends, tribe, and cope and rationalization of all the above at the expense of truth and justice.

This is good stuff:

One correction I want to make about what she said above is that it is certainly not the case that everyone has equal access to God or Truth. Most people have very low connection to God and Truth, simply because they are not conscious, do not have good genetics, and never cared about truth their whole lives. So a genuine spiritual teacher has way more access to God and Truth their students. However, no one has a monopoly on God or Truth. Everyone is God/Truth. But that does not mean everyone has the same ability to access it. For example, I genuinely understand God/Truth much deeper than most human beings. If this wasn't the case there would be no point in listening to me. But that doesn't mean you can't reach my level of understanding. You can. But it will take lots of work which most people will never do. So in this sense I am objectively valuable to you. That's just how all teaching works. A genuine teacher knows more than his students — at least at this moment in time. This is proper. But because this is true, a good teacher has an enormous responsibility not to exploit or mislead his students — which is where cult leaders fail hugely by putting their survival agenda above truth.

Fundamentally, cults happen because people confuse and blend social survival with spirituality. This is a huge mistake. Such people never cared about truth for its own sake, they are not doing truth-seeking, they are using spiritual performance and vibes to satisfy basic human social needs like a sense of community, love, belonging, purpose, friendship, sex, shelter, power, approval, and feeling special. None of this has anything to do with truth-seeking. Truth-seeking is about understanding the nature of reality, mind, and self. Truth-seeking has nothing to do with sex, community, friendship, rituals, power, or feeling special. Truth-seeking is not about feeling loved. Truth-seeking is not about being happy or feeling good or helping save the world.

Do not join social groups or communities to do spirituality. All that socializing is just a noisy distraction. Stop trying to combine the satisfying of your social survival needs with truth-seeking or God. Stop trying to combine your sex with spirituality. Real spirituality is not about community, relationship, friendship, or sex. It is about pure truth-seeking. Stop being fooled and seduced by the allure of human connection. I am not telling you to be a recluse. Have whatever relationships you want, have sex, be social — but do not mix it with truth-seeking or Awakening. Don't fornicate in the temple. If you do spirituality as a communal activity you will end up adopting all their group-think and 90% of your time will be wasted dealing with human noise and drama. Community is the distraction. The whole point of spirituality is to disconnect yourself from human community, which is society at large. Human society as a whole is a large cult that distracts you from truth-seeking. Joining a micro-cult within the macro-cult is just doubling-down on your problem. Your goal with spirituality is to transcend all the human social nonsense, not to create more of it. You are not going to do serious truth-seeking in a New Age spiritual community. New Age spiritual communities prioritize human survival, positive feelings, fantasy over truth-seeking.

Notice this: there's nothing particularly special about cults. Cults are barely more toxic than society as a whole, when fully seen — it's just that you never see the toxic underbelly of society as a whole. You don't see the torture, rape, murder, war, genocide, assassination, cheating, lies, abuse, wage slavery, corporate fuckery, political corruption, etc. A cult is just a proto-society. All societies are built on survival, hierarchy, and power. Cults suffer from the same fundamental problems that all human social organization suffers from: dishonesty, hypocrisy, ego, corruption, sociopathy, narcissism, mental illness, childhood trauma, greed, lust, bullshit, self-deception, politics, power games, human drama, ideology, group-think, exploitation, abuse, grifting. Any time you assemble a large group of selfish, unconscious, ignorant, corrupt, conformist minds — this must be the result. It does not matter what the content of the group is. It could be scientific, orthodox religious, Christian, New Age, occult, left wing, right wing — the content does not matter because the underlying social survival mechanics are all the same. Size also doesn't matter so much. The one thing all these social groups have in common is that none of them genuinely care about truth-seeking. They always prioritize survival first — which is the #1 thing that keeps you from realizing God.

The emotionally difficult thing is to just do pure truth-seeking on your own. The emotionally easy thing is to skip that in favor of using a spiritual community to help your survival and make you feel good. So just do the difficult thing, since that's obviously what leads to Truth, not the easy social thing. Social activity does not lead to Truth, it leads to distraction, self-deception, and corruption.

A cult is just a mechanism for low-level survival. Cults are nothing more than corruption. And all of society is corrupt. So of course cults are corrupt. People who warn of cults have no idea how corrupt society as a whole is. All social groups are corrupt because nobody has access to Truth, because they never even cared.

If you want to have sex, make friends, and be social — no problem. Do your truth-seeking alone at home locked in your closet in the dark. Commune with God. Then go out and socialize. Stop bringing God into your human monkey games. Do not make God a tool in your survival. Do not invoke the name of God or Truth to anoint your selfish monkey-stuff. And nothing is more monkey-stuff than socializing. The problem isn't socializing, the problem is when you fool yourself that your socializing is truthful or spiritual. It's not. It's just survival with an icing of spiritual fantasy.

Communal spirituality an S-tier self-deception mechanism. You could write a whole encyclopedia about it.

The corruption and irresponsibility across social media influencers is out of control.

When conservatives lament the moral decay of civilization — they are correct, but they misapply it to protect their pet ideological attachments. Moral decay is a real thing. And this is it.

Today's conservatives are not truly conservative, they are moral degenerates masquerading as conservatives. A true conservative would not do any of this crypto shit. Crypto nicely reveals how the master is not ideology or philosophy, the master is always survival. Today's conservatives have no integrity. They will do anything to get money, fame, and power — even if it is liberal. Crypto is a liberal phenomenon, and it shows the dangers and stupidity of liberalness. A true conservative would understand that allowing people to print their own money is a bad idea that ends in disaster — and would refuse to partake in such moral degeneracy.

How deliciously ironic that conservatives — the party that whines the loudest about moral decay — would support and re-elect as their fuhrer the posterboy of moral degeneracy. This shows just how little self-awareness and self-honesty conservatives have. Today's conservatives are more corrupt than Satan, and they don't even notice.
