Test Your Sanity Every Day

We have been intentionally deceived throughout our lives about every single aspect of our existence. Our governments were hired to manage us. The News is just some story or rumor or advertisement. Our elections are fake. Our doctors are drug dealers who make us sicker for profit. Our legal system is designed specifically to exploit us. Our allies and enemies have been misidentified. It’s all upside down.

There are people who think that what I just said crazy. As a person who gets disagreed with quite often, it’s crucial to be constantly checking whether I might be the crazy one. Though mainstream consensus is overwhelmingly produced by manipulation and conditioning, not every consensus is. I might be the crazy one, but the person calling me crazy might be the crazy one. It’s us or them.

I proceed to take inventory of my rationale, premises, mood etc… and trying to resolve every possible conflict with them that might be raised. If something is off, then the problem is probably mine. It’s impossible to be perfect in reconciling for worldly accuracy and I am certainly not perfect, but progress can be made and we can improve our ability to deeply examine the structure of our own beliefs. It’s good to check ourselves against the things of the world, things that are entirely human but, once done, it cannot be all we would do.

In the Inversion, it’s entirely possible to believe everything is actually its opposite, to check every worldly box for accuracy and, despite reconciling, still be the crazy one. That means that checking our facts and our sources for accuracy is not sufficient to disprove insanity. If we think it is sufficient, then we are insane.

(Sooner or later, words must have a real meaning. We pretend that the definition of “crazy” is doing the same thing repeatedly, expecting different results. We believe this because some Scientist said it, or so we were told. But doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results is already the definition of “practice.”)

Assuming everything worldly checks out, if someone still thinks I’m the crazy one, well, that’s something to take seriously. Could I be crazy and not know it? Of course. Crazy people don’t know they’re crazy. But if everything worldly checks out for me and checks out for the person who thinks I’m crazy, then it’s just one of us or the other who qualifies as crazy.

At that point, I recall that the people saying it or thinking it are Scientific Materialists who believe their a spiritual life exists for the purpose of being reassured they're great people no matter what evil they do and support.

Most (all?) are ultimately nihilists, resigned to a life guided by the acquisition of items and experiences (and many of the experiences are now virtual). They don't believe in the soul or an afterlife, so they think it should be everyone's highest duty to purchase as many things as they can and try everything that sounds appealing. This is our conditioned purpose as humans, which is to say no purpose whatsoever. I know this because I used to be this way.

To be clear, I am in no way opposed to people having flourishing practical, worldly lives, but that wealth must be a product of a flourishing godly, moral lives or it is for naught. This remains true even with obscene worldly wealth. We can look after worldly, material interests without being Scientific Materialists. People have been doing this since ancient times. The conflict is the same as it ever was.

Over time, within the Inversion, the lives of the worldly will always "improve" (from the perspective of a Scientific Materialist) while they age their way into the void. A little more stuff every year and a few more experiences. They will say they are "happy." They will be “even happier” once they have acquired the items they want but don’t currently have and do things that sound like they’ll be impressive to third-parties in the future. There was literally nothing else aside from forming deep bonds with people trapped in the same Inversion.

This is worth remembering during those times when we are and will be taking incoming fire from people trapped in that Inversion. We may care about them, but their knowledge and opinions are rooted in the most fundamental possible misunderstanding and are therefore incomplete, if not totally invalid. We don't have to let their positions or their responses to us affect our spirit or our thinking in any way.

Rather than trying to pick apart and disprove their side in some argument, we can skip past the (intentionally unprovable) nonsense, the so-called facts of the world, and simply consider the life purpose of the people making the claims. These people are declaring their moral relativism. At bottom, they don't actually believe in a moral life because morality is meaningless, and often antithetical to, doing more things and getting more stuff which, for them, is the purpose of life.

How seriously can we take people who live to acquire more gadgets and do more unfulfilling or regrettable things? Why would we ever defer to their preferences or act in ways that appease them? The only reason would be because we hope to get more stuff and have more experiences. We cannot allow these people to dictate our reality. That would mean we’re the crazy ones.
