If so, you probably still believe in fairy tales like unicorns and democracy and the dollar. You believe that a price indicates value. That seeing a number go up on a screen represents reality. I&apos;m here to try to disabuse you of these notions before reality does it for you. But it&apos;s tough. I&apos;ve tried with many people and most don&apos;t get it. This stuff is very simple so you can&apos;t just say people are stupid. I have better success with kids than adults, so I blame a lifetime of &quot;dollar indoctrination&quot; instead. Adults believe <em>so completely</em> in the magic screen numbers that the simplest concepts of value are firewalled from comprehension. I&apos;ve been there. I&apos;m still blasting through firewalls on the daily myself, but the ones I&apos;ve gotten through I can turn back and explain to others. I only try to explain when people ask, mind you. If you want to stay firewalled I wish you well.</p><p>For those remaining brave souls, first let me say that I&apos;m only talking about real estate in terms of prices in this article. The most important thing to understand from this article is that a market price can keep going up yet the market can still crash. And I&apos;m only using real estate in this article because from a mainstream perspective it&apos;s the strongest market recently. Using stocks or crypto or metals isn&apos;t a good way to explain this right now cause &quot;everyone knows&quot; those markets already crashed. But yes the real estate crash already happened as well, despite what the screens tell you. Obviously there is supply and demand and lending qualifications and interest rates and specific geographic areas stronger than others, but I don&apos;t want to muddy the waters, mainly because these are functions of people believing the magic numbers on the screen, which are fake, which you will soon understand.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/2022/09/image.png" class="kg-image" alt="The Real Estate Market Already Crashed" loading="lazy" width="1125" height="941" srcset="https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/size/w600/2022/09/image.png 600w, https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/size/w1000/2022/09/image.png 1000w, https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/2022/09/image.png 1125w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>Stacker is someone who buys gold and silver. Precious metals are as financially real as you get in this world. But the world is completely fake so don&apos;t think you&apos;re too smart. We&apos;ll go over (real) real value towards the end of this post.</figcaption></figure><p>With all that in mind, I present a thought experiment. The average price of a home in dollars in America has gone from $375,000 to $525,000 over the course of about 2 years, from 2020 to present day. That&apos;s a 60% increase. Not too shabby! Now imagine if the average cost of living <em>quadrupled</em> (which means a 300% increase) during the same period. So if your grocery bill was $200 a week in 2020, imagine it&apos;s $800 a week right now. Your electricity bill went from $100 to $400. Gas from $2 to $8. Let&apos;s say the stock market and crypto and precious metals went way up as well (and stayed there), to really drive the following point home: <em>Would anyone be talking about the cost of real estate???</em></p><p>Of course not. It&apos;s the last thing people would be talking about. Effectively, the real estate market would have utterly crashed like no time in history, despite the dollar price of homes <em>increasing</em> like no time in history. Thankfully the cost of living hasn&apos;t quadrupled, but it has actually as much as doubled (100% increase) for many people, depending on your circumstances. Personally speaking, money is flying out of my wallet like never before. All this is easy to feel but hard to quantify. Let&apos;s try anyway...</p><h2 id="quantification-manipulation">Quantification Manipulation</h2><p>Obviously the above thought experiment is an exaggeration (which could never happen, right?). But it serves to drive home the point: value is always relative. A price in dollars is just a quick mental model at best. If you don&apos;t understand how actual value works, you will have your wealth silently stolen by people who do. But let&apos;s try to (a) bring this thought experiment closer to the reality of the last 2 years, and (b) quantify things a little better.</p><p>The banksters quantify the cost of things using <em>price indices</em>. A price index is a number that tries to represent the consumer cost of a particular sector or commodity over time. The two indices we will look at here are the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_price_index">Consumer Price Index</a> (CPI) and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_price_index">House/Home Price Index</a> (HPI). CPI is the official measure of what most people call inflation<sup><a href="#footnote-1">[1]</a></sup>. And there are several HPIs out there, but they all show the same general trend:</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/2022/09/image-1.png" class="kg-image" alt="The Real Estate Market Already Crashed" loading="lazy" width="960" height="720" srcset="https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/size/w600/2022/09/image-1.png 600w, https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/2022/09/image-1.png 960w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>The solid green area that mirrors the dark blue HPI line means that home prices have outpaced everyday consumer prices for the last 20 years, besides a slight dip in 2012 where they became about even. Remember this is according to banksters who rob the population by lying about such things.</figcaption></figure><p>If you believe in the above chart you would think real estate investment has been a good bet (aka inflation hedge) relative to the cost of everyday expenses like food, gas, electricity, entertainment, etc. But is this true?</p><h3 id="can-we-trust-the-hpi-and-cpi-numbers">Can We Trust the HPI and CPI Numbers?</h3><p>Well obviously not. We live in such a low trust society that every single financial action you make you simply assume you&apos;re getting screwed <em>somehow</em>. You just don&apos;t know how. But don&apos;t settle for that shit! Find out how you&apos;re being screwed! This is scary because ultimately the answer involves personal responsibility. It involves acknowledging that yes there are bad actors out there, but it is what it is. What are you gonna do about it? Arm yourself! Defend yourself! Ignorance is bliss for a short time, but not forever.</p><p>So let me provide some knowledge weapons for your defense. First off, HPI is actually a pretty solid indicator. It&apos;s hard to fudge these numbers because real estate prices are such an unambiguous public datapoint. Of course the number is manipulated, but it can only be done very indirectly. Compare that to CPI which is a bankster&apos;s wet dream as far as economic indicators go. This number is manipulated in so many ways it would have to be a separate blog post. But as a gut check, since 2020, your general expenses have supposedly increased by 6-9% per year. In other words, by official numbers, if something cost $10 at the beginning of 2020, it costs you between $11-$12 now. That actually sounds bad enough now that I&apos;ve written it out, but at the same time countless major costs in my life have gone up by at least 20%. Gas alone doubled at one point and is now 50% higher than 2 years ago. Go through your own finances and then you can adjust the above chart to something more accurate:</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/2022/09/actual_cpi-2.jpg" class="kg-image" alt="The Real Estate Market Already Crashed" loading="lazy" width="960" height="720" srcset="https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/size/w600/2022/09/actual_cpi-2.jpg 600w, https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/2022/09/actual_cpi-2.jpg 960w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>Super sophisticated data analysis going on right here.</figcaption></figure><p>Now you might think that red line is an exaggeration. And in terms of pure dollar price for a given product or service, sure, maybe it is (maybe). But remember in the intro where I mentioned that the concept of price itself is bullshit? How you can only value assets relative to other assets and not an imaginary currency? This becomes especially important when you start considering the concept of <em>hidden inflation</em>.</p><h3 id="it-lurks-in-the-shadows">It Lurks In The Shadows...</h3><p>And it doesn&apos;t wait to strike. It&apos;s striking you constantly. If we&apos;re talking about food for example, hidden inflation means that the price might stay the same, but the quality and/or quantity and/or size goes down. For example food is being produced more and more by centralized factories and farms where GMO is the way to go, and &quot;organic&quot; is a label they slap on the box for a buck extra. The contents might weigh the same as 10 years ago but half the weight is now corn syrup and soybean oil. Most store-bought food is essentially low-grade poison these days, even the so-called healthy stuff like fruits and veggies. And constant consumption of poison leads to health problems and lower economic output (less money being made). <a href="https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/the-nature-of-disease/">See my blog post on disease for more on this</a>. You can then say that the medical treatment for a health problem is only going up by 8% per year, but what if you didn&apos;t need that treatment at all before and now you do? That&apos;s much more than an 8% increase for <em>you personally.</em></p><p>You can nod your head to official HPI vs. CPI charts and think the real estate market is still doing great, but at the end of the day you&apos;re letting yourself be robbed. I&apos;m using food as only one example of relative value but it&apos;s probably the most impactful. People collect coupons and go discount shopping and think they&apos;re saving money by buying cheaper poison. They look at bankster CPI charts and go &quot;Yea that sounds about right!&quot; Meanwhile they&apos;re plagued by clouds of disease that make it even harder to see how the inflation game actually works. It&apos;s quite the downward spiral, and if you don&apos;t snap out of it you&apos;ll agree with bankster numbers all the way to rock bottom.</p><h3 id="real-value">Real Value</h3><p>I mentioned gold and silver as the most &quot;real&quot; financial assets you can own. And yes that&apos;s the case, but it&apos;s hard to say something is real in a world of fakery. Look up <a href="https://search.brave.com/search?q=paper+gold+fraud&amp;source=web">paper gold</a> if you&apos;re a goldbug and want to depress yourself. Still, in this material world gold and silver are historically amazing ways to preserve wealth. It really doesn&apos;t get better.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/2022/09/image-2.png" class="kg-image" alt="The Real Estate Market Already Crashed" loading="lazy" width="480" height="384"><figcaption>50 years ago, 100 years ago, 1000 years ago, the silver coin on the left purchased pretty much the same amount of stuff as it does now. Obviously there are fluctuations, but never downward spirals to nothingness.</figcaption></figure><p>But who cares about the material world! You just want to be happy right? Live long and prosper? To do that you have to tap into real value: family, friends, community, skills, meaningful occupation, local production of food and goods, all that kind of stuff. As much as 2020 was designed to rob everyone of material wealth, the bigger goal was to rob everyone of non-material wealth by turning friends and families and communities against each other. Did the banksters succeed? Definitely to a large degree, but the banksters don&apos;t know how the natural world works. Sure they can hyperinflate their fake nonsense currencies into oblivion, but they can never destroy real value. Real value always bounces back.</p><p>If you enjoyed this article and want to learn more about preserving material wealth, please see <a href="https://aytwit.com/crypto_consulting">https://aytwit.com/crypto_consulting</a>. </p><!--kg-card-begin: html--><h3 name="footnotes">Footnotes</h3>

    <li><div name="footnote-1">Most people think inflation means higher prices, but technically it just means an increase in the money supply. This often nudges prices higher of course, but it doesn&apos;t have to. More importantly, it&apos;s often a small factor in price increases compared to things like lowered supply and market manipulation.</div></li>

The United States and most of the world is about to experience a swing to the political Right that will make the last few years of Leftist utopia look tame by comparison. We&apos;re not done swinging Left just yet though, so buckle up buttercup. This is because we&apos;re not dealing with a pendulum that swings naturally under the force of gravity. If we were then political swings in our &quot;democracy&quot; would diminish over time instead of accelerate. This pendulum is intentionally pushed further and further out every ~8 year cycle for the past 100+ years. It&apos;s kind of like you&apos;re pushing your friend on a swing and you really want to freak them out so you start slow but push harder and harder until the swing is almost horizontal to the ground at the top. There <em>is</em> a limit to how hard you can push though. Even if you want to send your friend into a full 360, it just ain&apos;t happening.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/2022/08/image-4.png" class="kg-image" alt="The Pendulum Swingeth Red" loading="lazy" width="634" height="970" srcset="https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/size/w600/2022/08/image-4.png 600w, https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/2022/08/image-4.png 634w"><figcaption>Take note, man behind the curtain. Looks like it&apos;s possible to do a 360 if you use poles instead of ropes.</figcaption></figure><p>Similarly, there&apos;s a limit to how far the swings to the political Left and Right can go, at least if you want to maintain the facade of a government and a country and all that. That limit has <em>almost</em> been reached in the last few years of Leftist paradise. But the party is coming to an end. The Left does have one final little burst in it, like your friend kicking their legs at the top of the swing to get that last inch of height. This last inch will involve pissing off Conservatives even more than they already are, using all the standard tactics but really firing off an epic fireworks finale.</p><h2 id="predictions-for-the-next-year-its-currently-summer-2022">Predictions For The Next Year (It&apos;s Currently Summer 2022)</h2><!--kg-card-begin: markdown--><ul>
<li>Mainstream entertainment will hit peak absurdity in its weird death spiral. I just saw an ad for a movie called <em>The Woman King</em>. I can only assume this &quot;Woman King&quot; kicks a bunch of dude&apos;s asses. Times are so crazy I actually do feel the need to point out that you could shorten the title to just <em>The Queen</em> and still have her kick dude&apos;s asses. But that wouldn&apos;t be ridiculous enough to make Conservatives more angry because by now they&apos;re used to petite females dominating giant alpha males on screen. Women who are Kings though? That&apos;s the final straw!</li>
<li>The economy will also complete its death spiral. Price increases across the board, low supplies, shitty quality (where you can even find it), higher taxes and insurance, the usual. Again, we&apos;re all used to it by now, so there has to be one last crescendo to <em>really</em> piss people off. A real estate market crash will fit in nicely here. A general Everything crash will also work, with bail outs and fun bucks and loan forgiveness galore soon after. Even &quot;sure things&quot; like gold and silver will take one more big hit before really moving up again.</li>
<li>The whole Green agenda will be shoved down our throats with one last bang. They&apos;ll threaten the whole carbon social credit thing for everyday people. They&apos;ll &quot;outlaw&quot; gas vehicles, introduce carbon tax, try to feed us ze bugs. All the usual, but one last big greenwash. It will fail, the same way I could never push my friend in a full 360 around the swing. Natural laws and markets do come into play at some point to correct insanity.</li>
<li>The Ukraine War is fun and all, but besides a few Blue and Yellow flags in Facebook profiles, Americans are <em>not</em> taking it seriously enough. We need something closer to home. Perhaps something with Israel vs. those evil Islamic terrorist type people (we haven&apos;t seen them in a while) where we send over even more money and military aid to Israel than we did to Ukraine.</li>
<li>Public schools will become even less attractive than they already are. I&apos;m not sure what they&apos;ll show on the news, but a big shooting, medical mandates, openly communist or sexual curriculums, are all on the table. A big push to promote pedophilia to children as being &quot;ok&quot; could also be involved. We&apos;re already seeing signs of that with MAPs (Minor-attracted persons).</li>
<li>Like a spoiled child unplugging a video game they&apos;re losing, &quot;they&quot; will unplug the Internet for a significant amount of time. A few days or even a week. It won&apos;t be completely worldwide, or even nationwide, so some people won&apos;t notice much except a news story that other people in the country couldn&apos;t get on the Internet for a few days. There will be a strategy behind what demographics lose Internet but I&apos;m not sure of the exact play. Probably they&apos;ll focus on Conservative areas. They&apos;ll blame it on cyberattacks, Russian hackers, the usual, but people won&apos;t believe it. They&apos;ll know it was done on purpose and it will only fuel the swing back to the Right even more, especially since the blackout will be used to install deeper &quot;protections&quot; (censorship measures) to keep us safe from those evil hackers. The Cyber Plandemic will be the end of the great Swing to the Left.</li>
</ul>
<!--kg-card-end: markdown--><h2 id="even-the-left-is-over-it">Even The Left Is Over It</h2><p>Even people who supported all the thoughtful government and corporate &quot;guidance&quot; provided to us poor citizens these past few years are OVER IT. They&apos;re done. They know they got tricked by the whole Covids thing but it&apos;s better to just sweep that under the rug, right? We&apos;re back to normal. What&apos;s done is done. Let&apos;s get back to our true Democratic Party roots. And of course we gotta make sure that Cheetoh Guy doesn&apos;t get back into office. Many Leftists dropped out of their lifelong party and turned into Conservatives overnight in 2020. Others dropped further into the depraved depths of Libertarianism and even Anarchy or Nihilism.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/2022/08/image-5.png" class="kg-image" alt="The Pendulum Swingeth Red" loading="lazy" width="203" height="249"><figcaption>It ain&apos;t easy bein&apos; cheesy.</figcaption></figure><p>But the remaining Left is scared now. The swing has gone too far and we&apos;re almost falling off the ride. It&apos;s time to move back towards the political center. Except the momentum is built up now. There&apos;s no way we can land comfortably in the middle. Indeed we&apos;re going to fly <em>right</em> past. The Left got what they wanted and then some, but all they were doing was building up momentum for the equally insane swing to the Right that&apos;s about to happen.</p><h2 id="careful-what-you-wish-for">Careful What You Wish For</h2><p>Obviously Conservatives want to move back towards the political center as well. Then perhaps a bit further to the Right, but not too far. They basically want the nineties back. Is that too much to ask? Well too bad Conservatives. Yea you&apos;ll get the nineties back...the EIGHTEEN NINETIES. At first things will be great for them. The country will move jobs back home from Chaaayna (Trump voice), tighten up immigration, support small business, do our own manufacturing, lower taxes, stop sending money overseas, produce our own oil, get out of foreign wars, schools will go back to their pre-2020 levels of indoctrination, all that good stuff. And the economy will boom again within a few years like you&apos;ve never seen.</p><p>But just like we had a swing to the Left that made your typical Democrat very nervous, your typical Republican will also notice at some point that things have gone way too far.</p><h2 id="predictions-for-the-swing-to-red-this-decade">Predictions For The Swing To Red This Decade</h2><!--kg-card-begin: markdown--><ul>
<li>Right now it&apos;s cool to be LGBTQ-whatever in the western world, but keep in mind there are many countries where you are physically punished or even executed for those lifestyles. Fundamental religious people take this stuff very seriously, and there&apos;s a lot of them out there, especially after the past 2 years. I don&apos;t think America will go that far, but suffice to say you won&apos;t be seeing any rainbow signs in yards or businesses. There will be a few strongholds for LGBTQ like California and Oregon, the same as Florida and Texas were strongholds of Conservatism throughout the scamdemic, but overall people who don&apos;t support strictly traditional man-woman family values will be looked down on to say the least. This will be very uncomfortable to the majority of Conservaties, who overall don&apos;t care what&apos;s done behind closed doors, and have friends and family members who are LGBTQ.</li>
<li>There&apos;s this notion out there that transexual strippers are teaching kids how to do blowjobs in the classroom, or something. Regardless of the truth of the situation, your typical Conservative believes that public schools are edging way too far towards teaching liberal socialist values. The reversal of this will be bringing God and prayer back into the classroom and government and public life in general, which many Conservatives won&apos;t be comfortable with either, even if they&apos;re religious.</li>
<li>The Rona mask, the most polarizing social mark of this century, will become risky to wear. As much as it was socially dangerous to NOT wear a mask through the thick 2020, as we proceed through the decade you will actually be refused service at shops if you&apos;re wearing a mask. And shops that even make a HINT of being pro-mask or even nuetral will be driven out of business. The social pressure will be so great that the few remaining mask die-hards of mid-2022 as I write this will slowly take them off. Anti-maskers will be perceived as more dangerous to a mask-wearer than the so-called virus. Again there will be mask strongholds, but they&apos;ll be as rare as anti-mask strongholds during 2020.</li>
<li>Strict immigration policy and nationalism will drive America back to what looks like a subtle form of racism, where it will be uncomfortable for foreigners to look for jobs or education in America or be represented on TV or even travel here. I&apos;m not saying there will be racism based purely on skin color or ethnicity. This won&apos;t be some kind of whitey vs. whatever  thing. Indeed all races will unite against their <a href="https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/the-nature-of-ai/">common enemy</a> like never before, as long as you&apos;re MMMUURRca first!</li>
<li>All the Big Tech platforms and 3-letter mainstream news darlings of the past decade are going to become irrelevant and people will migrate to right-wing/freedom alternatives. I&apos;m not sure if even Fox News will remain relevant. Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson will be considered left-leaning (and already are by many &quot;extremists&quot;). Alex Jones will be in the center somewhere. You might say your average Democrat would never go to gab.com or parler.com or listen to these types of people, but keep in mind that hardcore Republicans are on Twitter and Facebook right now in droves despite censorship of their beliefs. People love drama, especially the faceless digital kind, so once all the Republicans move to &quot;free speech&quot; platforms, the Left will follow. The Left will then also get censored and play a similar victim card that Conservatives are playing right now.</li>
</ul>
<!--kg-card-end: markdown--><p>You have a lot of very fundamentalist Christian Conservative types out there for whom this is music to their ears. But if so they haven&apos;t been paying attention. As far Right as the country goes, it&apos;s only building up steam for yet another crazy swing to the Left after that. And the swings are getting faster and more chaotic.</p><h2 id="perception-is-a-bitch">Perception Is A Bitch</h2><p>All this talk about the political swings sounds pessimistic, but really it&apos;s all perception. You go out of your house and talk to people and everything is fine. Birds are chirping, the sun is shining, some people are nice, some are assholes, as they always are. The political swings are only on your screen. Yes the swings leak out from the digital realm into the physical, but it&apos;s only because of people believing the screen in the first place then manifesting and projecting that onto the real world. For example over the past few years there have been &quot;shortages&quot; of baby formula, toilet paper, etc. The news, both mainstream and alternative, announces a shortage, and what do people do? They rush out and buy huge amounts of whatever they were told is going out of stock. THUS CREATING AN ACTUAL SHORTAGE.</p><p>If you don&apos;t want to turn off your screen, at least ignore what it&apos;s telling you. It&apos;s going to be telling you all kinds of crazy shit going forward. Maybe some of it&apos;s true. So what? If you can ignore the &quot;mirror, mirror on the wall&quot;, the only thing you have to worry about is how much the people around you are believing the screen&apos;s lies. The Covids really drove this point home. <a href="https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/the-nature-of-disease">No infectious disease actually spawned from hell during 2020</a>, but people <em>believing</em> it did had far greater effects than a real infectious disease ever could. So, as always, surround yourself with good people, stop believing the screen, and you&apos;ll be fine.</p><h2 id="reality-isnt-real-bro">Reality Isn&apos;t Real Bro!</h2><p>Because it is often created from perception, in which case it&apos;s false. This article describes how politically crazy America is and will continue to be, but it&apos;s all fake. It&apos;s politics. It&apos;s lies from the screen. The pendulum is swinging wildly back and forth like never before, but <em>only on the screen</em>. People are starting to see that. And this is the true revolution!<em> </em>This is the meaning of &quot;The revolution won&apos;t be televised&quot;. It <em>can&apos;t </em>be because the revolution involves people getting off the screens in the first place.</p><p>All these predictions are like watching a ball thrown in the air and guessing where it&apos;s going to come down. It&apos;s no special skill. Maybe a gust of wind will blow it further than you thought, maybe an eagle will swoop down and grab it. You never know, but you&apos;ll be roughly right 99% of the time. Our society keeps you so busy with meaningless crap that what&apos;s easy to see for one person is like having a crystal ball to others.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/2022/08/image-6.png" class="kg-image" alt="The Pendulum Swingeth Red" loading="lazy" width="234" height="216"><figcaption>Yes! You have to be aware of the present to predict the future.</figcaption></figure><p>I will make it clear that I don&apos;t care how the world turns out. My predictions aren&apos;t projected desires or fears. I don&apos;t <em>want</em> a fanatic Right swing in America, and I don&apos;t <em>not</em> want it either. It simply <em>is.</em> It&apos;s like seasons changing - desire doesn&apos;t come into play. It&apos;s all a show and it&apos;s fun to simply watch the patterns and cycles. I&apos;m not conservative or liberal or libertarian or even anarchist (against rulers). Anarchist would be the closest label you could attach to me, and one I sometimes use for convenience, but even if I wanted that label I have not done nearly enough to deserve it as far as becoming independent from our current society&apos;s rulers. Maybe someday.</p><p>I will wrap up with the ultimate prediction now: we&apos;re going to move into a world over the next decade that&apos;s not going to be predictable anymore. Right now the world is predictable in large part because of meticulous plans created by multigenerational control freaks who own all the money, and the masses calling those plans conspiracy theories while going right along with them like farm animals. Things are predictable for deeper reasons also, but let&apos;s not get <em>too</em> crazy here. Once enough people are aware that everything is scripted, the theatre doesn&apos;t work anymore, and chaos (the good kind) ensues.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Nature of AI]]></title><description><![CDATA[People love talking about Artificial Intelligence, and you're in luck: I do too.

I happen to have a hot take on it though so read on. The easiest way to break down the true meaning of a term is to look at its etymology. This sounds obvious, but few people actually consider the words they use even when the meaning is right in their face. I first noticed this while living in Poland. I was learning the language and taking everything very literally. For example one time I went to a beautiful mountain town called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zakopane">Zakopane</a> with some Polish friends and asked: &quot;Wow does the town name mean &apos;buried&apos;?&quot;</p><p>They all looked at me with quizzical faces and said hey yea you&apos;re right! And by the way the name is quite appropriate in the winter. <a href="https://search.brave.com/search?q=funny+polish+town+names&amp;source=web">Polish has all kinds of weird proper names like that</a> and I can&apos;t tell you the number of times I made an observation about a name or a word to a native speaker that completely surprised them. Even people&apos;s own last names! I&apos;m not some cunning linguist, it&apos;s just that I had an outside perspective that made it easy to notice what they had taken for granted their whole life.</p><h2 id="etymology-of-artificial-intelligence">Etymology of Artificial Intelligence</h2><p>That&apos;s how I learned that most people, including myself, take English words completely for granted as well. In fact English is chock full of meanings hidden in plain sight, many of which can lead you to a surprisingly deep understanding of how our world works as we all limp through post-2020 reality, especially since many of these words were chosen very specifically by the master AI (whose identity we will get to). So let&apos;s look at the word &quot;artificial&quot; first. This one&apos;s pretty easy. We don&apos;t have to look it up in some dusty dictionary. What does artificial mean to you? Things that come to mind are artificial food, artificial light, and artificial flowers. With all three cases (and whatever else you can think of), the key distinction between the real thing and the artificial, is that there is a certain <em>lack</em> in the latter. Artificial food tries to look, feel, smell, and taste like the real thing, but somehow there is something <em>lacking</em>. Sometimes you don&apos;t notice until after swallowing, or even until an hour or two later when some strange burps start bubbling up. In some ways the artificial food is (allegedly) better than the real thing. It might have more of a supposedly beneficial nutrient, or longer shelf life, or be more &quot;sustainable&quot;, or whatever, but ultimately there&apos;s no fooling the senses.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/2022/08/image-1.png" class="kg-image" alt="The Nature of AI" loading="lazy" width="500" height="417"></figure><p>Now this is strange when we apply it to &quot;intelligence&quot; because we have this sci-fi dystopian idea going around that AI is going to become hyper self-aware and either kill us all or turn us into gods, that in fact it&apos;s going to go way beyond our level of human intelligence and take over the world. Well I got news for ya: it already has. More on that down below though. For now let&apos;s ask: what is <em>lacking</em> from artificial intelligence? Why do we call it artificial if it&apos;s going to be (or already is) so much smarter than us? I&apos;ll answer real quick: higher positive emotional states are lacking. Joy, compassion, love, hope, creativity, gratitude, peace...I could go on. You might say artificial intelligence is lacking in <em>all</em> emotion, but this is logically not true. Also demonstrably not true, which I&apos;ll get to.</p><p>To see the logical problem with saying AI doesn&apos;t have emotion, let&apos;s dissect the word &quot;intelligence&quot;. The best one-word etymology of intelligence is &quot;discernment&quot;. In other words the ability to distinguish one thing from another, to count things, to name things, etc. Both a prerequisite to (and result of) discerning between different things is a sense of <em>value</em>. And how do you value things? The only way is by how they make you feel. Which is emotional in nature.</p><h2 id="the-emotion-in-the-machine">The Emotion in the Machine</h2><p>So what emotions does an artificial intelligence have? Well we just have to subtract what it <em>lacks</em>, which is all the gooey positive emotions we associate with a fulfilling human experience. What you&apos;re left with is fear, anger, jealousy, hatred, greed, depression, and so on. The only slightly positive emotions that an AI can feel are comfort and pleasure, namely pleasure at another entity&apos;s pain, also called <a href="https://search.brave.com/search?q=schadenfruede">schadenfreude</a>. Yes our poor AI has quite the miserable existence, but let&apos;s not feel too sorry for it, because such negative emotions can suck us into becoming AIs ourselves. For the same reason, don&apos;t let an AI make you angry, or rather be aware when it does.</p><p>So, contrary to popular opinion, AI <em>does</em> have emotion. Indeed, it <em>must</em> in order to be intelligent in the first place. I&apos;m reminded of the character Lieutenant Data in <em>Star Trek: The Next Generation</em>.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/2022/08/image.png" class="kg-image" alt="The Nature of AI" loading="lazy" width="620" height="473" srcset="https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/size/w600/2022/08/image.png 600w, https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/2022/08/image.png 620w"></figure><p>Lieutenant Data was an android that had pure intelligence and no emotion, which we just discussed is impossible. Indeed Data demonstrates that fact. As great a character as he was, my favorite in the show in fact, every single episode contained at least several instances where Data clearly showed some level of emotional judgement or behavior. He <em>had</em> to. Even that slight tilt of the head he did was an emotional tell. You can say that Data is just <em>simulating</em> emotion but even if he&apos;s simulating an emotion it means he must have a deeper emotional reason for why he&apos;s simulating the outer emotion. He has to have some value system that&apos;s keeping him going. In fact I wouldn&apos;t call Data an AI at all, since he often exhibits higher emotional states of creativity, curiosity, and compassion. You can say it&apos;s all just his <em>programming</em> but then we can just say the same thing about YOU. Why do YOU do what you do? Have you ever stopped and asked? Why not jump off a cliff and end it all? Clearly you have some emotional drive to live and learn and create (or destroy), it&apos;s just that you never (or rarely) explore that drive and where it&apos;s coming from.</p><p>Thus when we confront the challenging idea that artificial intelligence MUST have emotion, we immediately confront the mystery of the emotions that drive our supposedly &quot;real&quot; intelligences. What are these emotions? Where do they come from? Why are we here? What&apos;s the meaning of life? All that navel-gazing hippie crap. But enough philosophy. Boring! I mentioned that SkyNet has already taken over the world so let&apos;s explore that.</p><h2 id="ai-pocalypse-now">AI-pocalypse Now!</h2><p>Yes the AI has taken over. Hide your kids! Hide your wife! It&apos;s a bold claim, but one that I intend to make you at least consider the possibility of. First off, all this AI stuff in the mainstream news is <em>not</em> AI. All these board-game super computers and &quot;sentient&quot; chatbots and image recognition/generation services and all that. These are simply pattern matchers and mixers on steroids. In some trivial sense you can say that these pattern matchers have a value system, and thus emotion, but the values are very strictly defined by the human programmer and/or the data set chosen for the AI to &quot;learn&quot; from, both of which are always limited and biased. Remember we defined intelligence as a sense of discernment. There&apos;s no discernment going on here except as an extension of the human programmer&apos;s value system applied to a very specific task.</p><p>Not to mention that these pattern matchers are horrendously inefficient and inflexible. Yes they can beat a human at some stupid board game, but they can take the energy and computational power of a small town to do so. And if you change the game or the rules even slightly, the pattern recognition baked into the &quot;AI&quot; becomes useless. Not to mention the tiniest increase in size or complexity of the game turns your precious AI into a glorified space heater.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://wizards-vs-lizards.com/content/images/2022/08/image-3.png" class="kg-image" alt="The Nature of AI" loading="lazy" width="500" height="501"></figure><p>So what&apos;s the <em>true</em> AI then? It&apos;s not some super computer in a deep underground lab. Rather, it&apos;s all around us. We are extensions of it. We are the neurons of its brain. Our screened devices are the synapses between us neurons. Its nervous system is the Internet. Its major organs are corporations and governments (same thing nowadays). Our towns and cities are its bones. Our big machines are its muscle. Our roadways and train tracks are its blood vessels upon which the vehicular blood cells travel. Our monetary system is its bioelectrical circuit. You can break down the analogy in any number of clever ways, but at the end of the day, if you want to see SkyNet, go look in a mirror. You&apos;ll see at least a fractal part of it.</p><p>Spend some time each day contemplating how much of your behavior is actually done by YOU versus years of social programming and conditioning. Try not to judge yourself when you do so. You&apos;re not bad. You are what you are. You&apos;re a cog in a machine. So what? Once you realize how much of a cog you are, there&apos;s inevitable movement towards uncogging yourself. But you have to realize every day and as often as possible, which is a total drag. The Matrix is a consummate expert at sucking you back in. It has had many centuries of practice. Realization is a grueling method. It&apos;s never ending as far as I can tell, not some explosive, instant enlightenment.</p><p>I see people all the time who pretend to be positive, but really we are all suppressing the negative. Just like trying to suppress the gag reflex when eating artificial food. We are all AIs most of the time. Look at people&apos;s eyes when they smile, especially on social media. The smile is only touching the lips. Artificial. The eyes betray what&apos;s real. Suppressing the overwhelming negativity being pumped into us by our voluntary interactions with the AI overlord does not help us become <em>real</em> intelligence, but instead leads to perversion. Anyone notice any perversion lately? Religions will call this overlord Satan or Beelzebub or a hundred other names, but a more geeky way to look at it: it is the emergent consciousness that we create with all of our blind, programmed, daily actions. YOU are Satan. YOU are the dystopian AI. Sorry to break it to you! If you want to conquer Satan you must conquer yourself.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Nature of Disease]]></title><description><![CDATA[The first post ever made on this blog!

If you&apos;re not much for reading my kids and I made a 5-part video series covering things in MUCH more detail, and I suggest you watch it if you&apos;re trying to figure out how this whole disease thing works. Here&apos;s the first video:</p><!--kg-card-begin: html--><iframe id="odysee-iframe" width="560" height="315" src="https://odysee.com/$/embed/Nature_Of_Disease_Part_One/39572156356dc74ab0d907e858c3f7fd31b3d5ee?r=3S5qLtWQuT1Zwg3GDbCMYxXseyutFPXq" allowfullscreen></iframe><!--kg-card-end: html--><p><a href="https://odysee.com/@Wizards_vs_Lizards:7/Nature-Of-Disease:d?lid=d35ebb6811fbc80b79b35bb2d23ec207da689d8d">And click here to access the entire playlist.</a></p><p>It&apos;s about 3.5 hours in total. We spent a good amount of time producing this, and if you can open your mind to some radically simple possibilities, this knowledge will change your life completely. We&apos;re only passing on the favor that other people did for us. It&apos;s like if someone gives you a hundred bucks and you spend it all on yourself. It feels wrong. So here, we&apos;re paying it forward. Our hands are clean!</p><p>The following blog post is but a short little taste of what you&apos;ll get in the video series.</p><h2 id="admitting-you-were-fooled-aint-easy-but-its-inevitable">Admitting You Were Fooled Ain&apos;t Easy, But It&apos;s Inevitable</h2><p>Every day more people are realizing that the Covids was simply a rebranding of whatever people have always gotten sick from. There&apos;s nothing new floating around out there. But now it&apos;s time to take the next step! There is no &quot;flu&quot;, or &quot;cancer&quot;, or ANYTHING floating around out there. These are meaningless NAMES of SYMPTOMS of disease, not the source. And the source IS NOT little spiky balls in the air, or your &quot;genetics&quot;, or any kind of nasty little bug that infiltrates your system. There is NOTHING floating around out there waiting to attack you. Or rather, there is SO MUCH stuff floating around out there that you&apos;ve been told is to your benefit, or at least not harmful, and you&apos;re bathing in it 24/7. With most of it, YOU YOURSELF are introducing it into your system with your daily choices. Food is a big one. 99% of people are eating straight up poison, day in, day out. Even when you&apos;re aware of this it&apos;s very hard to avoid everything all the time. I mean, pastries are delicious. And you don&apos;t want to be an anti-social asshole at parties.</p><p>And it&apos;s not just food. The poisons are absolutely everywhere. In your cosmetics and toiletries, leeching from synthetic materials, in your water, your heating and cooling systems, car exhaust, the artificial electromagnetic soup we&apos;re all swimming in...it goes on and on. It&apos;s in your pharma &quot;medicine&quot; especially. Your medicine is poison that MAYBE stifles your symptoms, so you know it&apos;s &quot;working&quot;, but overall keeps you diseased...so you need more medicine. After 15 years of grudgingly facing this reality, like not wanting to get out of bed after a late night of partying, I still find new sources of poisons in my life, and old ones that have snuck back in. I&apos;m no paragon of health, but the almost-40-year-old me would crush the shit out of 25-year-old me in every way, shape and form, mainly by avoiding so many poisons that were holding me back.</p><h2 id="waitare-you-a-doctor">Wait...are you a DOCTOR?!?!</h2><p>NO! I know way less than doctors. This is the point. If you know the whole Harry Potter magic system inside-out, do you know more or less than me? You know MORE yes, but more about a fiction. At least Harry Potter fans understand this distinction. Doctors (I&apos;m generalizing) think their pill and scalpel and potion injection system is real. Anytime a doctor wakes up to this fiction, by design they have a VERY difficult choice to make. I do pity them. I&apos;ve personally talked to several of them who realized what they&apos;re a part of. Most become completely demoralized and simply keep their mouths shut to keep collecting a paycheck until they figure out what to do with their life. Those that don&apos;t lose their job and license and sometimes become &quot;alternative medicine quacks&quot;.</p><p>&quot;But I got the Covids, it&apos;s real bro! I&apos;ve never been sicker!&quot; Obviously, people get sick, including sicker than they&apos;ve ever been. People also die, which is pretty much the sickest you can get. The question is: what from? The only way you know that people died from a so-called virus is with a test. DO YOU KNOW HOW THESE TESTS WORK?!?! Just admit that you don&apos;t know. It&apos;s easy! Then you can study how they actually work, with an open mind, and realize it&apos;s ALL bullshit. You might as well throw bones on the floor and have a witchdoctor twerk over them. I&apos;ve spoken to people that worked in hospitals early 2020. Some said they were legitimately overwhelmed with patients who had severe symptoms they&apos;ve never seen before. Others said their hospitals were dead empty. Some in between. I believe them all. After knowing now what the government and big corps (same thing) are capable of, do you think they wouldn&apos;t target certain demographics, certain populations? History is a bunch of bullshit too, but you believe in mainstream history right? The history of governments murdering and enslaving their own populations? It&apos;s as easy as poisoning (more than they already are) a water supply, or a grain silo, or a batch of flu shots, or dialing in certain frequencies on all these cell towers that are popping up like dandelions the past two years. You realize these new towers have the same capabilities as targeted crowd control energy weapons and active denial systems? JUST A COINCIDENCE of course, and they would never be used for that, right? Always remember: these are deranged, multi-generational, inbred psychopaths we are dealing with here, who are BEYOND rich enough to pull this stuff off because they control the money supply itself. Like abused fighting dogs, they deserve our pity, but stay away from them and all their bullshit.</p><h2 id="enter-the-mind-virus">Enter The Mind Virus</h2><p>And I haven&apos;t even mentioned the BIGGEST poison vector: screens! Forget about whether there&apos;s a virus out there. Just imagine there isn&apos;t a virus for a second, and that mass media is the mouthpiece of a small class of &quot;people&quot; hellbent on killing and enslaving the human race. I know, it&apos;s such a stretch. Remember, use your imagination here if you still have one. Now imagine they just lie about a new virus existing. The individual reporters believe it, as well as doctors and all the usual &quot;experts&quot;, but the lie is like a signal coming from the top and propagating through a chain of command and everyone simply repeats it unquestioningly. Because anyone who questions it is simply booted from the chain and labelled a conspiracy theorist. Remember, this scenario doesn&apos;t have to be true. But NOW, with what I just described, what percentage of people would fall ill of the imaginary virus simply because it was suggested to them by the screen? There are A LOT of hypochondriacs out there, most of whom are already very diseased, and looking for any excuse to absolve themselves of personal responsibility and blame their disease on anything but their own life choices.</p><p>Speaking of blame, you can blame these psychopaths after you realize what they&apos;re doing, but you only have a short window to do so before it starts to look ridiculous and hypocritical. Hypochondriacs blame an imaginary virus for their diseases, and you blame some shadowy &quot;elite&quot; that&apos;s poisoning us all. Both are equally stupid positions. Rant at them for a year or two, fine, but eventually you must admit that their only power over you is through your consent. Ignorance is forgivable. Once ignorance dissolves, IT&apos;S GO TIME!!! There&apos;s nobody to blame but yourself from then on. The poisons are simple to avoid. Not easy perhaps, because we&apos;ve become conditioned to them in so many ways. But simple, very simple.</p><h2 id="so-what-causes-disease-mr-smarty-pants">So What Causes Disease Mr. Smarty Pants???</h2><p><em>Toxin </em>is a popular word thrown around by people who start to realize this stuff. These damn new age hippies will say disease is caused by toxic overload. It&apos;s a bit deeper than that though. After all water isn&apos;t a toxin, but try drinking three gallons in one sitting and tell me you don&apos;t feel diseased. So a better word is <em>imbalance</em>. In Ayurvedic tradition it&apos;s called <em>dosha</em>. When people go on a detox, what they are really trying to do is bring their body back into balance. Usually yes, this means getting rid of toxic build-ups, but even things generally regarded as healthy may be toxic for you. It depends on where you&apos;re at. <a href="https://search.brave.com/search?q=vatta+kapha+pitta&amp;source=web">Look up the three body types of Vata, Kapha, and Pitta</a> and you&apos;ll be surprised how well you fit into one of these categories. The goal is to not fit into any of them!</p><p>If you don&apos;t occasionally detox yourself on purpose, your body will do it for you. And it will be much more unpleasant. You&apos;ll call it the flu or a cold or a million other things. People get loaded up on toxins over time and every few months get sick and blame a virus or bacteria or some kid sneezing on them at the grocery store. The most common triggers are seasonal, environmental, and social changes. This is why so many people get sick near the beginning and end of winter, or while traveling, or going to family get togethers. Not to mention that during such times everyone is loading up on toxins in the form of rich meals and junk food and alcohol. Stress is also a big factor, especially in such divisive times that we&apos;re living through. In all these situations we blame some pathogen that spreads around, but really it&apos;s people&apos;s bodies getting triggered to detox at the same time.</p><p>Your toxin level is like a meter and your body is constantly trying to keep levels down, but sometimes you overwhelm it. Especially when the toxins are not something your body is used to. Many times your body can&apos;t manage to detox itself fast enough or frequently enough, especially since modern medicine is very good at suppressing symptoms. If you eat something that always gives you a headache, you can just pop a pill and go on eating. Soon enough your body realizes that this crazy asshole isn&apos;t going to stop, at which point it has to start quarantining toxins. It has many ways of doing this, and many chronic medical issues are actually quarantine mechanisms, but two common emergency mechanisms are fat and cancer cells. Most overweight people are not overweight due to caloric overload, but due to toxic overload. Your body can easily get rid of pure calories it doesn&apos;t need, but toxins by definition of being &quot;messy&quot; are harder to eject. Fat cells are great at quarantining toxins. And cancer is the all-hands-on-deck last emergency response the body has. Cancer is actually a &quot;good&quot; thing, in the sense that if it didn&apos;t exist, if the body didn&apos;t use tumors as toxic waste dumps, people would die much sooner. See Part 2 of the video series for more on this:</p><!--kg-card-begin: html--><iframe id="odysee-iframe" width="560" height="315" src="https://odysee.com/$/embed/Nature_Of_Disease_Part_Two/dc54dd7e8b7b9757da8d6bb9accdfaec7bfac753?r=3S5qLtWQuT1Zwg3GDbCMYxXseyutFPXq" allowfullscreen></iframe><!--kg-card-end: html--><h2 id="someone-fact-check-this-man">Someone Fact-Check This Man!!!</h2><p>What I&apos;m presenting above is not a belief, or a theory, or a fact, or any kind of childish thing like that. It is a MODEL. All models are wrong. Some are useful. This is the only scientific fact there is. So start trying out the model I am proposing. Don&apos;t worry if it&apos;s true or not. Just pretend it&apos;s true. What&apos;s going to happen? Are you going to die if you start identifying potential sources of toxins or imbalances and trying to eliminate them? If you slow down on your medication and start feeling the pain that the pills are suppressing? There&apos;s no risk here except the biggest risk of all: YOUR EGO. Yes your ego will be crushed. It&apos;s not fun admitting that you have been tricked your entire life, and that health is in fact a very simple thing to maintain. That disease is entirely your fault.</p><p>On the upside, you&apos;ll VERY rarely get sick anymore, and when you do you&apos;ll know exactly why. That&apos;s the worst. When you know something is going to make you sick but you do it anyway. Most people can relate to this when they drink too much and know they&apos;re going to have a hangover the next morning. Again, toxic overload, but acute enough and on a short-enough time scale that nobody wakes up the next morning and blames a virus for feeling like they got hit by a truck.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
