Swimming with the stream after all

I take the liberty to self-plagiarize some snippets of an earlier blog post of mine since the gist of it got even more relevant in light of my cancellation from any hope of making a living.

I am the heretic you can hate in an effortless collective way, with full institutional backing. When you don’t try to be a reformer or heretic, all that energy becomes available to you for other uses. Going with the stream means accepting everything with equal detachment because you are the stream. The normies who never think for themselves are always backed by the stream, so everything they do becomes that much easier. When you spend no energy hating, you even have more energy to hurt your enemies, and those who do not publicly oppose the sex laws have more occasion to break them. If I had always flowed with the stream I would probably have been a normie with respect to career and socioeconomic status as well. As such, I chose stupidly.

Or did I?

I made a valid point there, because the economic consequences of being a persona non grata in society are extremely crippling when you also don't qualify for any sort of pension, which I likely won't for another 20 years.

But upon further reflection, there is an important sense in which the opposite perspective is also valid.

Because I swim with the stream of my biology and psychology, which is extremely liberating. I feel in harmony with a larger stream than contemporary society and its peculiar quirks of the moment. In return for my momentary heresy I feel in harmony with history, like the sexual practices of Egon Schiele's day and Epstein's too before society turned on him from 2004.

Since I am egosyntonic and do not participate in the witch-hunt against male sexuality which I fully acknowledge as my own sexual nature, I feel a sense of ease and wonder that the normies lack, part of something greater and kinder which is not entirely lacking under the surface in the present either.

Also unlike most normies I swim with the stream of civilizational collapse instead of trying to hang on to our absurdly affluent lifestyle. Ever since I got immersed in the Peak Oil scene about 2014 I have been well aware of energy issues -- inspired by people like John Michael Greer, Gail Tverberg and Chris Martenson. Learning that the next stage of civilization is collapse was as shocking to me as anybody, but I am long done grieving over that now and can just flow with the descent. Since I own nothing, no wealth can be taken from me anyway by financial collapse. Of course it will be unpleasant for me to starve it comes to that, but the relative boost to my status from the normies also being dragged down to that level seems to me a net positive.

The Peak Oil movement was never quite relevant when it was going the strongest, but now with the Iran War it definitely is. To future-proof this post I should add that this might still be a dress-rehearsal and not the real peak oil crisis, but if so they better get that strait opened fast.

As of yet it looks like my collapse mindset will serve me well, and I don't regret my sex-positive disposition either.

So let's flow with collapse and true sexuality together and discuss these issues here. Despite all my marginalization there is a magic to it since my comment section never fails to fill up, which means I am indeed connected to a larger stream. Though it may be invisible to the mainstream at the moment these heresies are still alive and easy to find for those who bother to pay attention, with no substantial restrictions on our freedom of speech yet.
