Game Theory #22: Twilight of the Nation-State

Welcome back fellow classmates

Being an adult in the US learning better social studies in a virtual Chinese high school class than at an American state university is filthy work...

After finding Jiang, I'm no longer depressed. I've come to realize that the world is a system of games built on top one and another in order to create an illusion, in other words, the cave shadows. And these cave shadows are designed to oppress you, play you and extract from you all that is human from you. Once a person sees the systems at play, it no longer does so much harm. I had been an Australian army lieutenant in the artillery and after leaving the military I was deeply conflicted of what I experienced. Whilst I appreciated the military training, the physical bulking, and the discipline of certain healthy routines, I always found the goal of my nation and military to be strange and barely articulate. Nevertheless I joined the public service in Canberra afterwards and it became even more bizarre to me.. Now I see it's all a sham. I don't regret the physical training and friendships I made, but I regret putting so much mental energy into believing something that is in retrospective, very juvenile and naive. The ideals of nation, patriotism, and service to country, are nothing more than a marketing slogan in order to convince young men that dismantling the middle east and leaving behind the apocalyptic brutality of isis was "in the Australian national interest". I'd never forget Iraq in 2019. My country barely exists as a sovereign nation, and from fighting the city of London imperial wars of extraction and expansion, now kisses the orange bum of a certain new American imperialism, that is blatant, and nonchalant about its goals and grotesque tentacles. It is with confusion and that vassalage to America from my nation that never say right with me and I was fired from my job in the Department of Defence as a public servant in Canberra, and at that time what drove me to even more confusion, hatred against my self, and eventually suicidal depression. I was a deeply lost, crushed, and confused man for more than 2 years. Now that the cave has been explained so well, it no longer disturbs me and confirmed the things that I always knew to an extent. Not everything jiang says is correct, but what even is "correctness"? In a world of Epstein's mossad psyops, and unrelenting media puking of spins and propaganda, the only thing that's correct is the question everything. And with enough evidence and linkage, one can possibly make a roughly right observation. It's bizarrely soothing and also empowering to know that the people in power are fucked in the head. and that at the very least what one can and has to do is to serve family and community, to reject consumer capitalism, malicious social constructions, and live to the best of their ability and hopefully, reach eudaimonia 🙏💯

damn it feels good to be a jiangster

Amidst all this chaos around the world, one of the good things that happened to us was finding this youtube channel. Thank you prof. Jiang
