Social thermodynamics

People periodically ask me for a cause of all kinds of terrible things that are taking place on an almost daily basis in the recent years – whether it’s something some global script designed by Satan is targeting them with specifically, or something of a more broad spectrum is at play.

This is my recent answer:

Honestly, on some deeper level, this no longer feels as if anyone is “doing” anything, it looks like some kind of a thermodynamic event, for instance ocean cooling down by evaporating into the atmosphere and making a hurricane.

Basically, the same as the ocean producing a hurricane merely as a consequence of its inability to hold on to the level of energy it has, the global astral field can’t hold on to the level of energy it had while Sanat Kumar was managing the system, and we are facing a spiritual equivalent of a major temperature drop.

Also, I need to add this, because people who aren’t trained physicists tend to have wild misunderstanding of those things.

An energy drop sounds like a low-energy event, but in fact it’s a high-energy event. When an atom drops in energy, it emits a photon, basically produces radiation when you look at it from the outside, and to you it appears like a high-energy event. Ocean dropping in temperature is a hurricane, a very violently high-energy event. Gas that drops in temperature/pressure emits large amounts of heat. Battery going from high energy state to a low energy state is a very energetic event.

Likewise, the global system cooldown, its descent into a lower-energy state, appears extremely violent and energetic – hysteria, violence, wars, genocide and so on. An energy drop usually means a very big “boom”.

I used to think about the causes of the terrible self-destructive world wars, especially the first one, which looked as if the whole civilisation just threw itself into the meat grinder. One explanation was that the balance of power within the civilisation changed from feudalism to capitalism, while political power remained very much feudal, and the whole war thing looks like a social thermodynamic event that destroyed this obsolete system and brought the formal power structures more in line with the actual ones. Also, the whole concept of politics, economy, war, religion and purpose had to be reshuffled to match the industrial, modernist era. The second world war looks pretty much like a continuation of the first one, and ended with the British Empire destroyed and America and Russia assuming the position of first-tier powers. Then those first-tier powers had a battle for primacy, and that one is still ongoing, where the apparent fall and dissolution of the Soviet Union represents merely one phase, and now Russia under Putin is back, and America and the entire West are having what looks very much like the late-Soviet civilisational crisis. The way things look now, USA didn’t really win the cold war; its collapse just lagged somewhat behind that of the Soviet Union.

At the moment, America looks like the last big remainder of the satanic experiment of some kind, of a country without God where people join together in democracy and take charge of their own destiny – essentially, modernism that started with the French revolution. This same experiment had many branches – European secularism, American free market capitalism and a republican constitution, Soviet Union, and the Third Reich. Third Reich is gone, Soviet Union is gone and Russia is trying to find its reason for existence which currently looks like some mixture of tradition and religion, Europe is a decadent cesspool, and America looks like it’s in late stages of turning into a hellhole. The champion of the West against Russia, Ukraine, looks like something between Satanism and Fascism; basically, the most ridiculous chimera of all Modernist and Postmodernist failures patched together as a weapon against Christianity and Reason, a weapon that treats human life as utterly worthless in the name of human rights and humanism, completely in line with the trend that started with the Guillotine orgies of the French Revolution.

As a conclusion, no, Man is not the measure of all things. Also, human life is not the ultimate value. God is the measure of all things, and Man without God is an empty shell devoid of anything worthwhile to live for, and if human life is the ultimate value, then there’s nothing so great that it’s worth living and dying for, making human life ultimately pointless and worthless. This concludes the godless experiment of Satan – in total, absolute failure.

I am simply in awe of human faith in the creative power of their thoughts and beliefs – or, in other words, belief that they will override reality and substitute their own if they put fingers in their ears deep enough and yell “la la la” loudly enough.

It’s not just one thing in isolation, it’s a pattern. For instance, the Italians built a city of 6 million people between a stratovolcano with a history of explosive catastrophic eruptions and a supervolcanic field, where they literally intended to build a new spa resort at the edge of the solfatara crater in the smack-middle of what is equivalent of the Norris geyser basin in Yellowstone, and now that the supervolcano is acting up and the experts are advising immediate evacuation of at least the village in the red zone, everybody is acting as if the problem is going to go away if only they stopped noticing it.

On a political level, we are in a situation where nuclear escalation of the conflict in Ukraine didn’t happen yet only because Putin was so opposed to starting the nuclear war himself that he’s trading immediate retaliation for loss of deterrence, basically making it more likely in the long run. This, of course, is only a symptom of the global destabilisation due to a systemic collapse of the entire West, which became so ideologically unhinged it’s acting like a retard with a gun; economically, sociologically, politically and in all other relevant terms, the West is doomed.

And this is the situation where the Internet is full of people who:
– obsess over new gadgets
– obsess over vacation spots
– talk about “1st world problems” ironically while California is either on fire or having an open insurgency or not having water
– ridicule “doomsayers” who are concerned that the world as we know it is fucked
– obsess over CO2 emissions, gender and plastic straws.

The entire news feed looks like something that would have been on “Onion” or some other satire fake-news site a decade ago. But yeah, everything is fine, people have been saying the world was going to end thousand years ago and it’s still here.

That’s true, people have indeed been predicting the end of the world since antiquity. However, people in the fifth century have been saying that the Rome is falling and the anti-doomers, starting with St. Augustine, replied that people have always been predicting the fall of Rome and yet it’s been here for a thousand years and it will be here for another thousand at least.

I wonder whether the dinosaurs would think that the world is still here. Let’s ask them. Oh wait…

Assessment

There was a relatively strong earthquake in Campi Flegrei last night, initially assessed at 4.4 MMS, later revised to 4.2. Everything above 2 there is significant, as it indicates magma movements and possible ruptures. 4.2 is really serious, and adds serious weight to the Bayesian probability of explosive eruption in the near future. Whether the eruption will be phreatic or supervolcanic, it is impossible to say. A phreatic eruption is what happened at Krakatoa, when magma and sea water came into contact within the enclosed space of the half-emptied magma chamber. It is what a pressure cooker would do if the pressure inside exceeded the cohesive forces within the containment vessel. It means a big boom that cooks the people of the local village in superheated steam. That place needed to be evacuated weeks ago. However, other than boiling a few thousands of people alive, the phreatic eruption poses no danger to the wider area. A supervolcanic eruption, VEI 8, however, would end most of Europe. So, the danger of natural events regionally remains high.

As for the political and military events, Trump is performing a circus where America, as a party in conflict that attacked Russia and wanted to destroy it as a country and surround it with enemies and do a regime change in every country that believes in two genders, is now roleplaying as a peace maker of some sorts, as if they’re a school teacher forcing some kids to make up or else. The Russians will politely tell him to piss off, to which he’ll do the typical Trump thing and threaten them with a big stick, forgetting that the Russians have already destroyed more than half of US and European military in Ukraine, and that American “mercenaries” have been killing Russians in Kursk, Russia, for months. This has all the potential of ending badly, because the Russians have already told Putin not to even think about any kind of “truce” or “ceasefire”. I see people behaving as this war is about to end, but on the contrary, I think it’s nearing the most explosive phase, where one bad miscalculation by America will result in instant massive retaliation. I am treating this as “all hell is about to break loose” until proven otherwise.

If you ask why is France so pissed at Russia, it’s because the entire West had a plan of blocking Russia, and intending on compensating for the raw materials they were getting from Russia by turning to Africa, and the Russians understood the plan and completely destroyed it by making deals with African countries that resulted in France and other former colonial powers being unceremoniously evicted and their access to near-free resources ended. As a result, France’s access to low-cost uranium for their power plants and military has been compromised and they are strategically fucked.

Trump, on the other hand, is acting as if America is the big boy in charge, but this is all a bluff. America is bankrupt, their military is defunct and depleted, and other than the decrepit nuclear weapons that are way past their expiration date, they have nothing except the printing press for money, which is currently backed by nothing but brute force. Essentially, the entire West is a starving parasite trying to latch itself onto resources to prolong its doomed existence, and in absence of the usual victims, the vampires are now trying to suck off each other, and it’s going to be a nasty sight.

So yeah, far from it being over; we haven’t actually seen anything but overture yet.

Childish governments

Campi Flegrei supervolcano is still acting up, and for multiple days already there are reports of elevated CO2 levels in people’s homes at the volcanic site; basically, people are reporting dizziness and nausea at the Pozzuoli village. The government, however, is sweeping the whole thing under the rug and basically telling people that nothing is going on, but do install CO2 meters because we wouldn’t want you to suffocate.

This reminds me of the covid situation, where the governments initially under-reacted and said nothing’s going on, everything is fully contained, even if this obviously wasn’t true, and when it became obvious that some serious shit is going on, they over-reacted to the point of breaking the civilization. Basically, first they didn’t want to face the crisis and be responsible for saying that it’s real, and later nobody wanted to be responsible for ending it and saying that it needs to be handled rationally and not hysterically. Basically, they act in binary modes, where there’s either no problem whatsoever, or every life matters so much that if we can save it, it’s worth breaking the civilization and potentially killing hundreds of millions and reducing the standard of life for billions in decades to come. It’s worse than manic-depressive even; it’s like putting female school teachers in charge.

The covid is not the first instance of such foolish under/overreaction; there was the case of the Icelandic volcano, the Eyjafjallajokull, where they completely grounded all air traffic in Europe because of negligible risk of trace amounts of volcanic ash in the air to the jet engines. Abundance of caution, they call it. No, abundance of caution would be if any actual planes were damaged by the ash, and then you try to establish safe levels of ash particles in the air, monitor the condition and ground air traffic only where it’s actually necessary. Not ground everything until everything is perfectly safe, because absolutely any amount of risk is unacceptable. Well tough shit, bitches, because risk is part of life and there’s always an amount that has to be deemed acceptable or you’ll end up failing to live it at all.

With the Campi Flegrei and Santorini volcanoes currently acting up, the obvious rational measure would be to evacuate the afflicted areas completely, but the politicians are cowards who fear saying the “v” word (volcano) or “e” word (eruption), because they don’t want to be responsible for either panic, or frustration of people who had to evacuate if it turns out to be a false alarm. However, an adult response would be to tell people to suck it up – sure, it can turn out to be nothing, but even a small event will cause large local casualties because people for some reason like to live on volcanoes. You can’t assume it’s going to be a big one, because the probabilities and historic record are against it, and if it is the big one you can’t do anything about it that wouldn’t be almost as harmful as the eruption itself. You can, however, clear the Pozzuoli village and the Santorini island, and make tsunami preparations and drills on the projected impact areas in Greece. That would be the reasonable level of reaction, but no, the governments alternate between “nothing’s going to happen, everything is fine” and “the sky is falling, let’s make everything ten times worse now”.

The global astral feels like a lunatic asylum; there’s a palimpsest of all kinds of issues and feedback loops, for instance the state of the global astral makes all kinds of people crazy/evil/violent more than usual, and when they act on it they make the global astral worse, and so on. I think the Internet made everything worse, and the social networks magnified the problem by an order of magnitude, because everybody tends to get synced up with the same bullshit. It’s like having Dropbox on five computers, and when a file is corrupted on one, it propagates across all devices.

Additionally, the news sources are all corrupted by either financial inputs from ideologically interested parties, intelligence services, and educational system which feeds neomarxist activists into guess what – places where they feel they can “change the world”, such as NGOs, news and politics. After a few decades of feedback loops of this kind, the public sphere has been completely contaminated by neomarxist ideologies.

Science has also been corrupted by a combination of ideologically motivated financial feedback loops, big corporations that treat science as a paid machine for product PR, leftist ideologues who treat science as some kind of a Church that provides official dogma rather than a method of inquiry, and so on. Also, after enough feedback cycles, everything from measurements to conclusions has been corrupted, and at this point it should all be thrown away and started anew, because none of it is trustworthy anymore.

The level of degradation across multiple dimensions of the system is so severe, that I can’t imagine it being fixed. This is a total civilizational breakdown. People forgot why the world they live in works, and thus undermined its foundations. After sufficient iterations, we now have a situation that’s basically on a free fall trajectory. People like Trump who are trying to fix it are in fact only exacerbating the problem, by destroying all kinds of layers of deception and lies that were introduced by other groups in attempt to hold the thing together.
