Thank you for sharing these thoughts, Tao. I’d like to suggest some non-fiction books that I didn’t see on your list which I think will resonate with you:
1. Shamanism, Colonialism and the Wild Man, by Michael Taussig
2. Crowds & Power, by Elias Canetti
3. Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, by Marshall McLuhan
4. The Ever-Present Origin, by Jean Gebser
5. Aghora: At the Left Hand of God, by Dr. Robert Svoboda
"mainstream media is fake news" "corporations are bad" "rogan and trump make a lot of good points" -- the 15 most lead-poisoned boomers in every Buffalo Wild Wings in the US are saying the exact same things lmao
A bit simplistic. German company BASF industrialised the Haber-Bosch process to extract nitrogen from air in 1913. It is estimated that half the world's population today would not exist without this process, due to nitrogen fertilisers.
My novel plays with this idea, though you don't read much fiction any more I think you would enjoy it. I would like to send you a gift copy when it is published, if you would accept?

Very well said, and grounding/reassuring.
Wholeheartedly agree.
The propaganda is so pervasive if you stay on the main sites, it’s almost impossible to avoid if you aren’t actively seeking alternative communities.
I‘d also be interested to hear the links between MSM and offshoots of Mk-Ultra. I wouldn‘t be surprised if one informed the other to a large degree.

And they're right.
Also, Buffalo Wild Wings uses beef tallow - not seed oils - to fry their wings, so these particular Boomers are extra smart.
You sound vaccinated.
mainstream media is also very materialistic and anti-spiritual.
yes, good point

I might be retarded but at least I’m not a 41 year old retard.

The classics hold the answers
