What has been the biggest lesson you have learnt so far this year about humanity and how is it affecting your life?
Ooh wee... What an interesting time for this question to come up. I've just shared quite a bit with friends the last few days about how I'm doing recently. To say that 2020 has been a tricky year is probably a huge understatement, and for me personally 2019 was a rough one as well.
You may or may not remember the not-so-great changes to Anarchapulco last year, leading me to make a public statement about why I will no support the event, as well as being a pretty big hit to my faith in the anarcho-capitalist movement.
Interestingly enough, I actually did a whole piece after that about how we should have a year where we don't spend hundreds of millions on weekend getaways, and we should focus all that energy on real solutions & infrastructure instead... Published almost exactly 1 year before the Rona Plandemic cancelled all the 2020 events...
What you may not be aware of is that last year, I also organized a conference/retreat, called Be Empowered, which was basically my thesis after 4 years of helping organize, cooking for, speaking at, and otherwise being part of close to 100 festivals/conferences/retreats. All the best things I had seen, all the best ideas I had heard but hadn't been applied yet, the most synergistic flow of activities, all on a magnificent eco-village in Colorado. Unfortunately, after thousands of hours and thousands of dollars spent, I had to cancel the event because we had only sold 2 tickets as of the day I had to pay the "guarantee" to the property... to the tune of $40,000. Of course, as soon as I cancelled it, tons of people reached out that they were "just about to buy a ticket" or
"Faith in Humanity?"
So... coming out of 2019, I had already been feeling way down energetically & emotionally, and in many ways given up on "the movement." Then we hit 2020 and things got real weird. All of the sudden, people who have been ranting & raving about "big pharma," "government corruption," and "corporate media control" were suddenly sucked right back in, and millions have lived in fear of a flu, simply because the news told them they should be.
Along the way through the Rona Plandemic, it's been so interesting to me seeing people shift in such totally different directions. Tons of people I went to high school with and hung out with back before getting red-pilled are suddenly liking & sharing my posts on FB again, TONs of them are calling out Bill Gates & Fauci. TONs of them aren't buying into the fear porn. This was such a great experience for me, to see so many people I had sort of "given up" on in some way, showing that they really have been paying attention, and aren't buying into the BS.
Meanwhile, dozens of "left-leaning" friends, many of whom are long-time Rainbows, and all of whom are aware of just how corrupt & full of shit the system of control (and the psychopaths running it) are... bought into the lies hook, line, and sinker. I had one person I literally know through a Buddhist meditation group tell me to "Get Fucked!" and then blocked me, because back in March I was saying all the things that have long since been proven true of the Rona: little to no death rate, not highly infectious, clearly being used as a smoke-screen for economic & political gain.
Unfortunately, the Rona was quickly rolled into the murder of some guy, by a cop who he worked with, and a continuation of the spell being cast against the masses ability to breathe (Fake respiratory pandemic -> millions chanting "I can't breathe" -> massive fires for most of the continent.) As BLM came back onto the scene, government agents planted bricks and started riots, obviously the fake pandemic faded away for most people... but it seems that this 1-2 punch of plandemic into manufactured protests has gotten more people to buy-in to the political puppet show than ever before.
Somehow, we have people out burning cop cars & pushing back against government violence... and it somehow caused a BIGGER gap between the people who drink blue koolaid and the people who drink red koolaid.
Coming out the other side of 2020
Honestly, I'm not really sure where I'm heading now, or what's coming up next. My biggest priorities are definitely still getting on land, surrounding myself with my people... but with international travel becoming a thing of the past, and the US looking poised to jump to a whole new level of totalitarianism... who knows.
I'm trying to just focus on self-care at this point, slowly moving in what seems like the direction of land & village life. Selling all my MTG collection and various other things, to bulk up my crypto portfolio before this next boom.
The biggest lesson of the last two years has been to just remember it's all a game, none of it is real (just mental illusions), and all of humanity (history, current, future) is only the tiniest blip on the whole of existence.
