Forgiving Special Hate and Special Love

Lots of videos like this have been appearing the last several months. And these videos have acted like Rorschach inkblot tests to reveal people's special love (innocence projection) and special hate (guilt projection) preferences. MOMENTS AGO: Prius drives through a protest in Hollywood, protestors then chase the vehicle down, smash the windows with a skateboard while attempting to pull the

Forgiving 9/11

It's odd to think that a large percentage of people alive today weren't even born when 9/11/01 occurred. Nonetheless, for the people who were alive and watched 9/11 and its aftermath unfold in real-time, the event still conjures up various emotions--some of which are not forgiving. If you want to go back and revisit the pre-9/11/01 atmosphere of America as a forgiveness exercise, check out the

Forgiving the Church of Woke Identitarian Critical Social Justice

There is a new religion that has been growing and developing for many decades now. The evangelizers of this religion are often referred to as Social Justice Warriors. It is a postmodern religion that came out of academia. This religion doesn’t have a formal name, so I just call it Woke Identitarianism. Woke is equivalent to being "born again." I know quite a bit about this religion because in

Forgiving Self Cancel Culture

Most of us have seen what happened this week in Wisconsin and has been happening in mostly democrat dominated areas across America during the summer of 2020. Some have only seen the events filtered though their preferred news sources, while others like me have exclusively gone straight to the raw unedited video. There is a mild civil war going on in the streets of America. To one group, police

The Fake News Cycle

After seeing Biden once again repeat the debunked fine people hoax (debunked for those not living in a total TDS bubble) in his democratic presidential candidate acceptance speech, I just had to post this humorous infographic by the Babylon Bee. Just think, how did you feel about the news and about certain politicians when you found out the truth about the fine people hoax by simply watching the

Forgiving the Woke Inquisition

Unless following the news is important to your income, it makes little sense to do so. And it makes even less sense to use social media to comment on the news. The appeal of following the news and also commenting on the news is that for a lot of people guilt projection is their main hobby in life. People tend to select their news sources based on who they want to perceive as innocent and who

It’s All Fake! Both Literally and Figuratively

The first half of 2020 has been amazing, because I’ve never seen the fakeness of the world so blatantly and relentlessly. Whatever underlying objectivity there is to the world, it has been completely drowned out by human subjectivity so far this year. I started to see the tidal wave of relentless subjectivity building back in February. On Facebook, the last thing I posted was a means of

Forgive Statists versus Statists by Living Voluntaryism

I’m not quite sure what the enemy of the people, the corporate media, has been saying about the things that have been going on in the USA for the last several days … since I don’t pay any attention to that “programming.” However, I do know all the raw video I’ve seen online of the many events. And so I’ll just put things into perspective as succinctly as I can. The universal law for a

The COVID19 Rorschach Test

People are subjective. That subjectivity makes sound thinking difficult because sound thinking needs objectivity. What passes for thinking in this world is usually just people trying to justify what they want to believe. Sometimes so-called reality destroys people's stories, revealing them as fiction, but that is somewhat rare. Usually, there is enough room between the story and the reality to

Subjective Math

As I like to say, most people can agree that 3-2=1. But I see that when the numbers get higher even math becomes subjective. That starts to explain a lot. When the basic math is wrong so is a lot more. As Michael Crichton once explained: "Media carries with it a credibility that is totally undeserved. You have all experienced this, in what I call the Murray Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. (I

Forgiving COVID19 SARS2 Coronavirus

Just about everything we do in life is to protect our bodies and other bodies from dying. That protection does work even if it isn’t fool proof. In general, the safer we feel the less conscious fear we have. But our defenses reinforce our belief in the world of death unless we forgive and use our defenses guiltlessly. I don’t care how enlightened a person thinks he or she is, put that person

Scientific Survey Shows Voters Widely Accept Misinformation Spread By the Media

This is a good article. It's non-partisan. The article explores the results of a scientific survey and even shows the questions and answers. Here are the scores. All groups failed the test with a grade of less than 50%. 46% for Trump voters 43% for males 41% for 35 to 64 year olds 38% for 65+ year olds 37% for 18 to 34 year olds 36% for

Loserthink: How Untrained Brains Are Ruining America

A good general audience book to check out for anyone who wants to forgive the news is the new book Loserthink: How Untrained Brains Are Ruining America. The book sort of makes this blog obsolete since it makes the same basic points I try to make. I like books where to dislike the book is to prove the authors' point and Loserthink fits that bill. Here is an excerpt from a review that gives some

Best News Sources?

I'm often asked: “Hey Alex, what news sources do you recommend?” Well, anymore, my favorite news source is independent journalist Tim Pool. I like him because he really tries to be neutral, he has great critical thinking skills, and he does a great job sorting through all the garbage news so I don't have too. He has two main YouTube channels and a website. Between the channels, he puts out about

Fake News Outs Itself

Dean Baquet, the executive editor of the New York Times, said recently that, after the Mueller report, the paper has to shift the focus of its coverage from the Trump-Russia affair to the president's alleged racism. "We built our newsroom to cover one story, and we did it truly well," Baquet said. "Now we have to regroup, and shift resources and emphasis to take on a different

The Fine People Hoax and Special Guilt

I've started a rule. Any media organization that continues to perpetuate the fine people hoax is blacklisted by me. I don't need the mental pollution. Unfortunately, the result has caused me to blacklist most media organizations. I might stop following the news totally soon. Fortunately, I haven't had to blacklist any individuals because all the individuals I've shown the original video to in

Forgiving the Fake News Formula

This was a very interesting little segment because it exposed the formula for what the establishment media so often tries to pass off as news. The formula isn't usually this obvious. But the way Rev. Owens kept responding to Don Lemon of CNN made it obvious. Here is the formula and it exists in both left wing and right wing fake news. 1) State the hallucination you want to believe and want

Forgiving Capitalism versus Socialism

I wrote this post to have something to go back to and look at and refine for years to come, since forgiving capitalism versus socialism is likely to remain a point of contention in society for a long time. First off, we will look at forgiving capitalism and socialism in their pure forms. Then we'll get into forgiving the two in their more "real" world manifestations. Capitalism versus Socialism

Forgiving Climate Change (Global Warming)

I wrote a forgiving climate change piece a few years ago. This replacement will cover some of the same content but focus less on details and more on the general idea of climate change in terms of psychology. For anyone who has been living under a rock, climate change is the scientific hypothesis that humans adding certain gases to the atmosphere, particularly carbon dioxide (the gas you are
