Heavy traffic is directly proportional to control. Control: number of traffic cops and lights, and rules. Central planners are like the gods of Olympus. Got from point A to B in 10 minutes today because coppers weren’t where they were “supposed” to be. When they’re zealous and there, it takes double the time. Hmm… perhaps I should relate this to communication and turn it into a class requirement. Traffic controls by central planners are… noise; and noise unnecessarily increases inevitable entropy, hence, considerably wasting time and energy. Perhaps too, I can go the next step and relate it to the crisis in the church—how the anthropocentric innovaltions and novelties from above (central planners) yielded the ever changing nature of the synodal church.

It’s important to make a distinction between ‘context’ and ‘nuance’. In my opinion, the latter has a tendency to anthropocentrism and sophistry (default tendency as a consequence of original sin) while the former is likely more rooted in reality. In addition, context itself (when read as it is) wouldn’t actually require ‘nuance’. Man’s pride oft moves him to want to be in control, which one can better do in the attempt at nuance—which boring context doesn’t give one much angle to weasel his way through and squeeze himself in.

Revelation is done. It ended with St John. But as our broken nature seems to have illustrated, we buried the supernatural in our anthropocentrism—invented the secular social construct known as DNA; the absurdity known as evolution; spent energy, time, and resources on something the Second Law of Thermodynamics clearly states is near impossible to duplicate (human life)—to the silly stars for non-existent aliens… the list goes on. What hence, is the logical next step? It’s called the apocalypse—and no, it doesn’t mean the end of the world. It merely means the unveiling of the reality we buried and the anti-Logos nature of the means we employed to bury. And this is how truth became stranger than fiction. It will seem this way after living for so long on a Cartesian plane, where we accelerated entropy to our detriment. Einstein did get one thing right—God, indeed, did not play dice with the universe. We should know it as the Logos vs. the loads of social constructs we’ve created as our bodies of “knowledge” to explain away reality that we got thousands of years ago, in the first place.

Not everything is worth arguing syllogistically and academically. It is an ‘intellectual’ trap and waste of time and energy, accelerating entropy. This is exactly how neo-intellectuals (those who dominate academia, the peer-review, and so-called ‘science’) were created; and over time, concocted their Cartesian plane and placed the entire world on it via their ‘science’ labelled with the cringe—‘scholarly’ (stealing from the Scholastics but anything but), ‘peer-review’, and ‘academic’. Inductive logic (majority from the Cartesian-Kantian club wins) was/ is the oil that sustained/ s the life of this plane; and Cartesian-Kantian club generated tokens such as journal rankings, tenure, and other titles, slogans, and labels became the currency. They are no different from the mainstream media. This was/ is also why the old (real) intellectuals moved out. They don’t like to daydream and they don’t like arcades. They know time is finite and even if energy can neither be created nor destroyed, they know you can’t stop entropy; hence, they would rather not help accelerate it. Reading academic journals, is now, more than ever, such a mortifying task. One feels a loss of brain cells every time.

“Union with other denominations would be pursued without compromise to the chruch’s teachings but equally without hesitation.” Squaring the circle, mixing oil and water, the chicken a sandwich, non-binary—all the same spirit and ‘logic’, where 2 points occupy the same and people walk on water. Indeed, said the Care Bears, you can do anything if you put your mind to it.

If it is true that energy is neither created nor destroyed (and we know it is hence, it isn’t an “if”), then by sheer logic, the term “renewable” energy is… uhm… a great redundancy. Hence, then, is not this redundancy and all the time, energy, and resources employed to promote and create networks and chains to prop up this redundancy ultimately… uhm… furthering the redundancy and the very problem it purports to address—which is to supposedly either to save energy or become energy efficient? Does not this effort to promote renewable energy essentially and ultimately defy the Second Law of Thermodynamics? Does not the effort in fact, exacerbate and accelerate the wastage (and entropy) and inefficiency as precisely stated by that law?

Modern money: A psychological game fueled by insecurity and lack of confidence, it ironically fills the void with the very hot air that will eventually reveal itself to be just that—a network of lies. Oh the irony from beginning to end. The money system is a perfect illustration of our broken nature, which no one in an insecure network will ever understand. 😂 Evil geniuses are maintained by useful idiots.

Ultimately, the currency system of central and fractional reserve commercial banking isn’t actually a money system. It is a communication system and network of ledgers based on deals and politics, held together by that ugly part of human psychology that goes the way of our fallen nature. Its “mathematical” basis—Cartesian math on a Cartesian plane because human beings are largely creatures of obedience and mimicry, largely fueled by insecurity and fear. Indeed, it has been virtual for far longer than all those disciples of “new money” and new technology proclaim.

More and more as I delve into the rabbit hole of pre-Vatican II common sense, I am moved to rethink my thesis on “humanistic marketing” and “customer-centericity”/ “focus”; and the answer seems to be with the utmltimate failure of Aristotle, as even Dante himself left in limbo. But after having discovered just yesterday, Aristotle’s will, where he asked idols to be erected in his name just before he died, then it would be quite safe to assume, something even worse than being in limbo—that Aristotle indeed, didn’t quite make it, in spite all the great philosophy he gave us. There is great wisdom here in St Thomas, who said: “The Jews require signs, and the Greeks seek wisdom. And so the Lord, in order to show the path of salvation to all, willed both ways… so that those who would not be brought to the path of salvation by the miracles of the Old and New Testaments, might be brought to a knowledge of the truth by the path of wisdom.” Hence the problem with the Greeks and Aristotle, which leads me to rethink my thesis: “The Aristotelian god was totally immobile, totally self-sufficient, and totally other. He existed as a completely self-sufficient Being in a world where nothing changed. As a result of his perfection, God has no reason to act. Creation, as a result, became so mysterious that the Greeks could only construe the universe as eternal, having no beginning or end. As a result, the universe became a competitor with God rather than an example of His handiwork. The name of that competition is pantheism or the belief that the universe and God were identical… Because Aristotle’s God was so remote, the Greeks sought some sort of connection with the divine through polytheism and magic, as manifested in gods like Zeus and Hermes.”

When you finally do research (real as opposed to reel), you begin to have real (vs. reel) fun. Of course, initially it can get lonely because most and almost all seem to just want to dabble in the reel. But that’s just the initial phase. Soon, the reel becomes oddly “entertaining”, only because the human being has recourse to sarcasm that enables one to convert the mediocre and downright silly and 🤡 into something one can attempt to derive insight. Either this or it serves as testament to and proof of one’s hypotheses and theses regarding what’s real vs reel. Why watch Netflix when you can see holograms instead and have a laugh. 😜 Indeed, the metaverse isn’t new at all. It’s almost as old as Descartes.

“All the Popes since Paul VI have made Vatican II and its implementation so central to the programme of their Pontificate that they subordinated and tied their papal Authority to whatever the Council dictated. Their “magisterium” begins with Vatican II and ends there, and succeeding Popes have proclaimed their immediate Predecessors to be Saints for the sole fact of having convoked, concluded, or applied the Council. Theological language has also been adapted to the double-talk of the Conciliar texts, going so far as to adopt as defined doctrines things that before the Council were considered heretical, such as the State being above religion. For once, Pope Bergoglio is perfectly right when he claims that the Tridentine Mass is an intolerable threat to Vatican II, because indeed that Mass is so Catholic that it undermines any attempt at peaceful coexistence between the two “forms” of the same Roman Rite. Indeed, it is absurd to conceive of an ordinary Montinian “form” and an extraordinary Tridentine “form”. The Novus Ordo is the expression in worship of a… Conciliar church.” “If Rome were to forbid the celebration of the ancient Mass, Catholics who believe that they can serve two masters – the Church of Christ and the Conciliar church – will discover that they have been deceived. They will have to choose between either disobeying an illicit order in order to obey God, or else bowing their heads to the will of the tyrant while betraying their duty as ministers of God. This is no less than the battle between Christ and Satan. A battle for the Mass, which is the heart of our Faith, the throne upon which the Divine Eucharistic King descends, the Calvary on which the immolation of the Immaculate Lamb is renewed in an unbloody form. This battle must be fought over the essential difference between the God-centred vision of the Tridentine Mass and the man-centred vision” of the Conciliar church, which those who have eyes and intellect can clearly apprehend and see. You can’t square a circle. 1 is clearly not 0. There’s a fine line between nuance and context vs. mental gymnastics of abstractions designed to precisely square the circle and proclaim the chicken a sandwich. Problem is, this all happens on an anthropocentrically manufactured Cartesian plane, more popularly known as an arcade—where only those with issued tokens are allowed to play. And when they play, they can’t see what’s real underneath, for which that Cartesian plane where chickens are sandwiches was made.

Lex orandi, Lex credendi. Theological definition of evil: Reduction/ absence of good. What happens when good is taken out from lex orandi? It reflects in lex credendi. Enough of good is reduced to none, the thing reduced is hence evil—which then spills over to lex credendi. Less prayer, less belief to loss of faith. It becomes a real problem when intention is a pre-requisite for validity. This was the end goal 60 years ago.

Finance: The system that was generated at a very specific point in history (at the first quarter of the 20th century) to transfer the yield of time and energy spent and expended by others into certain others that knew and know the plumbing of the system that was built.
