The Reality Just Isn't All That

The current election pronouncements reveal a splendidly truthful thing postmodern philosophers posited years ago.

The simulacra are more important than the reality.

Postmodernists generally dismiss truthful things anyway as only so much power. Nothing is really truthful anyway, thus the simulacra become the reality. This is just a fancy term that refers to the reigning projections, or the embraced imageries of things people believe are real. Since there is no reality, the simulacra will do.

Nothing could explain the current Biden-Harris-Democrat-Technocrat-Media falling all over themselves pretending to be president of the United States. It doesn't really matter who is president, he or she is and always has been under the authoritative instruction of Rome's deepest operative potentates anyway... but wow, is this a spectacle! Come on people! You can't beat this show! Just ride with it -- it is so much fun! You gotta admit: it is thrilling to feel like you've just clocked Orange Man Bad with a nice left uppercut, and look! He's down for the count! (Huh, count. The connection to actual ballot counting -- or lack thereof -- is completely unintended.)

What is so disconcerting is that in this case the rank dissipation that will follow from such presumptions will be gargantuan. This now quite hegemonic element is all in on the most shameless wealth redistribution management -- and yeah, I know, as if it hasn't already been happening in massive amounts already assuring many more souls freefalling into spiritual abyss. It will also be about the most proficient prosecution of anyone who is deeply concerned about rampaging sodomist and racialist utopian ideals. Question the moral integrity of the more unconventional sexual expressions? Express something considered not fully anti-racist? Object to cheerfully donning the required talisman of the facemask cult? At least the criminal penalties will look kinder and gentler.

Don't worry. It's been done throughout history. Such convulsions have their appointed times. We'll just get to enjoy the Americanist version over the course of the next few years.

I've resigned myself to the nightmare to come, much because sometimes, often times -- as I've written in this blog post from not too long ago -- God lets us advance our contemptibly iniquitous policy objectives so that we may be forced to gaze upon how lethal they really are, how much our own sinfulness accelerates our supersonic flight to Hell.

But before that happens He does offer us a way out. The blood of His own son. 

But that's it.

And really, in a sense, He's the Reality.

So yeah, go crazy trying to figure out what's happening in the whirlwind political climate right now. It's all just a spectacularly entertaining circus. A feast of the very juiciest simulacra, if you will. The only thing that will protect you, cover you, embrace you in the midst of the newest reign of terror is Him.

Just a thought, just a quick thought, that's all. Maybe to see some reality, which is actually pretty cool.

God's voice thunders in marvelous ways; He does great things beyond our understanding. (Job 37:5)

The Wonderful Matter of Authentic Understanding

In my last home page piece I wrote a bit about this thing people believe is Artificial Intelligence .  May I firmly posit something about that thing more widely known as AI ? Something that is indeed an inviolate Truth Rule, and for which there are a number of ways to easily prove it, one of which I'll share with you right now? That Truth Rule: There is no such thing as AI. Yes, it is true. Once again for emphasis, artificial intelligence does not exist in any form, and never will. In fact, the more people even use the term "AI" or any of the language associated with it, at any time, in any context, they are carrying on a horrifically evil deceit. Yes many will screech "Oh but what about this?!" or "What about that there?!! It's amazing!"  Things that really spectacularly look like a machine is doing that same things a human does, even better because it is some transcendently sentient super-brain that can't help but make our wretched existence

The Rationale of an Excommunication

My recent home page piece gets a bit into my own professional life, and the experiences I have had with the now entrenched woke  hegemony. I have been an experienced and reasonably decorated school teacher for now about 35 years. Most of that time was spent teaching high school Civics and Economics in the public school system, and certainly being a devout follower of Christ I have wondered if readers of my webzine and blog might wonder, "How could you be situated in such a System institution like that?" I have indeed thought about assembling something of a comprehensive polemic to answer that question, and I'm afraid I cannot do that now. It is simply because there is so much to it, including my consideration that people like Joseph and Daniel were in the service of Caesar in some high office yet still served Christ and loved others where they were. I have also had the opportunity to share Christ's love with thousands of students, some hundred of whom actively and vo

Suffering the Stupid Person

We enjoyed one of the best Christmas movies ever the other night, Die Hard  with Bruce Willis, from 1988. I know, I know, everyone's arguing about whether it is really a Christmas movie or not, but it is. It happens at Christmas time, there are Christmas songs in it, and the most important reason is that John McClane is, in a very profound sense, a messiah character almost giving his life to rescue people. I know, I know, lots of movies feature their action heroes kick-boxing and blowing away bad guys to save others, but this is just different. For one thing he does walk across broken glass causing his feet to bleed badly. In everything he does he is a sort of living sacrifice and employs great courage and tenacity to give of himself to get the job done. Plus he uses tremendous insight, knowledge, and wisdom to make the things happen he must make happen to do that job. Just amazingness from an action hero throughout. But this is not the only reason the movie so thoroughly enjoyable
