So I recently commented Rudolf Steiner´s strange idea that the Buddha went to Mars, et cetera. Purely by chance (?), this popped up in my YouTube feed. "Mars vs Pure Land. Why migrating to the Pure Land is much better than Mars". Elon Musk, are you listening?
Don´t worry, I have no intention of journeying to the red planet anytime soon. However, the Buddhist nun in the clip may be wrong about one thing. She says that the living conditions on Earth are much better than on Mars.
So about that...
How would the Amerik(w)an people react if Donald Trump would actually "do disclosure" on UFOs/UAPs tomorrow morning Eastern Standard Time?
Loyalist MAGA: Trump is right, the UFOs are demonic, Trump is God´s anointed and must take firm action, we trust the plan! (30% of population)
Dissident MAGA: Trump is right, the UFOs are demonic, and Trump is one of the demoniacs. Epstein was an alien, too! (10% of population)
Dissident non-MAGA: Trump is lying, no UFOs exist, the Cabal is planning a fake alien invasion as a first step towards a Zionist Occu...pardon, One World Government! (5% of population)
Democrats: Trump is lying and has gone completely insane, UFOs and aliens don´t exist and never have. It´s probably just a distraction from the climate crisis. Impeach him and Unite Behind the Science! (54% of population)
Libertarians: Trump is lying and has gone completely insane, UFOs and aliens don´t exist and never have. It´s probably just a distraction from the fact that the admin hasn´t abolished the federal income tax. Elon Musk can take us to Mars by Indie-maxxing! (1% of population)
Wanna bet?
Are data centers controlled by an alien or interdimensional race, which is "terraforming" Earth to take it over? This race came through a portal when Jack Parsons and L Ron Hubbard did their infamous Babalon working. Parsons´ wife Marjorie Cameron may have been one of the space aliens. They are a silicon-based life form (like computer chips) and can´t stand carbon (and therefore secretely control climate activism). Most humans will be replaced by these creatures, but the "tech bro" elite have been promised Mars and will soon leave our planet in a "Noah´s ark".
Or so Thomas Sheridan speculates. The full presentation is only available for paying channel members, but I think I got the gist of it.
I don´t doubt that some elite groups may believe in *very* crazy things, but that doesn´t mean they are right, or that they can act on their beliefs. I mean, what are the chances that Peter Thiel & Co can build a space ark and leave orbit? This is just a form of quasi-political superstition, in which the upper class is cast in the role of "gods" (albeit evil ones).
But sure, I suppose it would be ironic if our overlords are ultimately overthrown by ignorant peasants who actually think they are fighting interdimensional aliens...
Not sure what to think of this. Optimization strikes me as both necessary and inevitable. But sure, why do customers just accept it, instead of demanding some extra features for reasons of current fashion or personal image? I suppose that *is* an interesting question. Edward Dutton would probably say it´s because of lower average IQ rates in society...
I have to say that "poly-crisis of late capitalism" was a very original soundbite, though!
Oh, and another thing. Surely "unbearable blandness" isn´t the main feature of the 2020´s...

Elon Musk has stopped the Russian military from using Starlink, which might explain the recent Ukrainian offensive. Which raises the question: Why wasn´t this done earlier?
Ukraine exploits Russian Starlink blackout to push offensive
Roko´s basilisk is a silly thought experiment which apparently mind-fucked members of the "Rationalist" on-line community. I don´t know who they are and little motivation finding out. Some kind of autistic tech nerds spinning the usual blend of libertarianism, transhumanism, NRx and other quite irrational bunk?
Roko´s basilisk is obviously inspired by an idea found in certain forms of Christianity. If you never heard the Gospel, you will be saved since not hearing the message wasn´t your fault. However, if you *have* heard the Gospel and reject it, you will go to Hell. In other words, hearing the Gospel might actually *endager* your soul - a rather absurd and paradoxical situation (which logically should make Christians stop all their missionary activity). Roko´s basilisk is *exactly* the same idea but with God replaced by an intelligent machine. Another confirmation that certain atheists are simply constructing a simulacrum of Christianity or theism-in-general. The bizarre ideas about retro-causation are presumably inspired by God´s omnipotence and the fact that He stands outside of Time itself, which perhaps leads to various paradoxes.
And then there are the Zizians...
The Zizians are supposedly an off-shoot of the Rationalist subculture, although it´s difficult to see any obvious connection. They are allegedly a cult preying on vulnerable trans-people, and may be responsible for at least four murders. Apparently, the Zizians claim they can save people from Roko´s basilisk?!
Oookay...
I admit that I completely missed this particular cult/cultic milieu. But yes, I´ve heard of Roko´s basilisk before. Of course, I´m not terribly impressed by these Silicon Valley-adjacent counter-cultures. Still, it´s interesting that some of the biggest pro-AI crazies may be busy actually developing, well, AI. Which makes the entire basilisk scenario a kind of strange self-fulfilling prophecy. Until the real God (or just lack of good ol´ electricity) puts an end to this silliness once and for all!
I have spoken.
This could be click bait or trolling, but this content-creator at least seemingly claims that Elon Musk´s Starlink has discovered the infamous "Ice Wall" in the Antarctica. That is, Elon confirmed that the Earth is flat?!
Yeaaah...
???!!! Scott Carney believes that the Trump campaign stole the 2024 POTUS elections by manipulating the computer software. Some of the counties reporting election results *don´t even exist*. Yes: phantom counties?!
Of course, Trump supporters believe that the large number of (very real) "bellwether counties" switching to Biden in 2020 proves *those* elections were rigged.
Still, fake counties is surely a new one!
From Avi Loeb´s YouTube channel. This is actually somewhat annoying. It sounds as if Loeb is pivoting away from his most sensational claims about 3I/ATLAS, even saying that people should trust NASA and the European Space Agency. He also attacks disinformation on the web! All the while *still* stirring up the Internet, sounding like a doomer, and so on.
The run-of-the-mill conspiracy theorists sound more honest.
For a brief moment I kind of hoped that maybe, just maybe there would be more to this than a billion year old green comet from Somewhere Else...but naaah. But sure, it still fits the 2025 World-Gone-Crazy Narrative, so there´s that I suppose.
UPDATE 2025-11-28: It´s possible that this channel is an AI-generated deep fake. If so, it certainly tricked me!
The silly season comes very late this year. With all due respecc to Zzabine, this is cornucopian-utopian agitation. With some disturbing tendencies á la tech broligarchy.
In ten years, this video will be considered a crazy fossil dinosaur. But sure, I could be wrong. Make that thirty years.
Time to die...
| More likely future? |
End it already. This is beyond parody at this point.
A quote: "Elon Musk shared his vision of the future at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum in Washington, DC this week. According to the tech tycoon, work will be optional and money will lose all meaning as AI-powered robots take over every aspect of the economy over the next two decades."
Is it 2025? Or 1965? Seriously...
This kind of content is allowed on X. Maybe if Elon had stayed in the Trump administration, Israel and the pro-Israeli lobby would have had more leverage over him? A cynical comment, I know, but there you go...
Oh, and here´s ChatGPT on the alleged quote from St Ambrose.
Did St Ambrose really say: "Jews are the most worthless of all men. They are lecherous, greedy, rapacious. They worship the Devil. Their religion is sickness. The Jews are the odious assassins of Christ. It is essential that all Christians hate them". This seems to come from an anti-Semitic meme on X.
No, St. Ambrose did not make that statement. The quote you mentioned — often seen on social media or in antisemitic memes — is fabricated and not found in any authentic writings of Ambrose of Milan.
The alleged quotation is a modern forgery, created to spread anti-Semitic propaganda by falsely attributing extreme hatred to a Church Father.
It circulates in internet memes and extremist forums, often alongside other fake quotations supposedly from saints or reformers.
Ambrose (4th century) held theological views common in his era — including the belief that Jews were in error for rejecting Christ — but he did not call for hatred or annihilation, nor did he use vulgar language like "worthless," "rapacious," or "worship the Devil."
In fact:
Ambrose sometimes defended Jews against violence.
In one case (the burning of a synagogue in Callinicum), he insisted it should not be rebuilt at state expense — a problematic stance, but not a genocidal or hate-fueled rant like the quote suggests.
| Claim in Meme | Why It's False |
|---|---|
| Uses modern hate-speech tone | Completely unlike 4th-century theological language |
| No source in Ambrose's works | Not found in Letters, De Officiis, Expositions, or Patrologia Latina |
| First appears online | Traces to extremist message boards, not historical texts |
This quote is a modern fabrication and should not be attributed to St. Ambrose or any early Church Father.

I suppose this means that Peter Thiel is now officially the leading tech oligarch in DC. As for the America Party, it seems to have a certain family likeness with Kanye´s Birthday Party. For instance, that it doesn´t really exist!
A bit "autistic" of Elon to break relations with the Man in this way. But perhaps he´s banking on the Trump admin collapsing rather spectacularly in the near future? Rather than morphing into a more standard GOP administration (busted budget ceilings and all) with immigration visas and subsidies to space tech companies...
