unpopular opinion : Trump as Jesus

Our context is one of confusion and despair, cultural value system is corrupted, and we are in dire need for a actualization of the concept of virtue.

There are three things a world leader needs right now to move us forward:

  • Vision (compound of logic and creativity able to project variable interactions and consequences)
  • Great Selfesteem
  • The quirks that trigger the anti-teachers (the people teaching flawed value systems, basically rewarding incompetence and punishing virtue)
Hi, my name is Johnny Knoxville and this is Jackass.

Hi, my name is Johnny Knoxville and this is Jackass.

When i was younger i thought “what if Johnny Knoxville is Jesus” or “what if Jesus was like Johnny Knoxville”, came to earth to teach us suffering and violence are not the problem, they are part of the design. But now i see he was just an apostle.

Why call Trump Jesus? what is “Jesus”?,he is not a monument of virtue, but the right man at the right time in the right place.

We are in 2019, where people who prioritize pretty talk, and pretty feelings and pretty facial expressions, get smacked by fate when Trump came to office.

And that’s just the right thing to set us /(as a culture) straight, what’s the best way to correct an aberration? by providing its opposite and nullifying it.
So we have this “pretty” value system, making BIG decisions, life changing decisions based on prettiness, instead of focusing on EFFICIENCY and VISION > pragmatism, trying to understand as many variables as possible and analyze as many of the consequences as possible.
And if ones competence is not on par > identifying the strong/competent and supporting the ones who CAN lead us towards abundance.

Trump singlehandedly triggered all of their defenses: “how can a man of such degradation”-they think-”can be granted such status?” making them act. and we, the plebs, the people with stock vision can see just how corrupted and stupid they are, how they put so much weight on superficiality, how they cant see 3 steps in front of them, how they would lead us to destruction — continuously contradicting themselves and flaunting their hypocrisy.

One should not apply a universal law over all contexts like liberal philosophy and christianity attempted (dont quote me on that, not a fan of history). New Context needs a new analysis, and a new conclusion. some require you kill and eat brothers, grandmothers.. others require to prioritize the lives of an enemy over a friend (not gonna create those scenarios right now, but im sure some of you have the vision to do it on your own, or ask your visionary friends to do so over a beer). FORCING a rule out of context is not only suboptimal, it can lead to selfdestruction.

Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged matches our current situation closely>> incompetent people with heads full of incoherent, conflicting ideas, are currently holding a self proclaimed “moral” highground. She was also a target, attacked for her looks, accent, aesthetics, rhetoric or “selfish” philosophy.

We have people fighting for ethics and morals (which basically mean a standardized set of values that prioritizes the TEMPORARY feelings and wellbeing of the WEAK over long term safety, over EVOLUTION) — note: there certainly is a context where their strategy / value system would be ideal, are we in it? ARE WE ABUNDANT OF RESOURCES AND WELLBEING?

And ask yourselves, why arent we? Is it cause a rain of fire destroyed everything? Is the earth this hollow decrepit place? Or did we get here by incompetence. Incompetent leaders, incompetent scientists, incompetent philosophers, incompetent doctors, INCOMPETENCE IN ALL FIELDS.

Examples?

— dietary guidelines (read Nina Teicholz),
— the advice to smoke,
— cholesterol scam (read Dave Feldman),
— labeling human personalities as DISEASE +
— flooding the market with both mind and body altering pills with a multitude of sideeffects, many long term ones undiscovered.
..

And how did we get here? exactly, by not recognizing virtue, by supporting the lesser priorities, power fell in the hands of the incompetent and they started supporting eachother in a loop.

​ The filter for virtue is cracked, the dogma of morality and religion has for a long time corrupted it. Big words? what is more important than the filter for virtue in our species evolution. We need to know to the smallest measure the difference between levels of competence. And that certainly cannot be accomplished when the exact opposite is promoted and everything else is defined as #hatespeech.
