Ghost Cities in China, gigatons of concrete formed into huge, crumbling shells of high rise apartment blocks. Bought and sold purely on the belief the value will always go up. Lived in by nobody, never meant to be lived in.

This isn’t any different than any other country, it’s just that in China we see the economy visualized in concrete. Modern industrial society produces far more than can be consumed at any one time. If people were careful and lived sustainably there would be hardly any on-going production and economies would grind to a halt. If instead of the eerie, empty, boulevards it were gold bars stacked in a vault somewhere you wouldn’t bat an eyelid. China is moving money through the economy this way and bringing peasants out of subsidence farming and into the finance economy. It matters not that it’s the equivalent of digging a hole and filling it in. In the modern world money is debt and a subsistence farmer can’t participate in the modern economy without a job and a credit rating. It’s all smoke and mirrors in the end.

The push to throw out “fossil fuels” and switch to “sustainable energy” is obvious BS, lithium batteries are in no way, shape, or form an example of something a reasonable man could call environmentally friendly and sustainable. The push for “green” energy is simply to destroy a load of capital infrastructure and force the building of replacements to keep driving money through the economy. Since the rulers of the world thoughtlessly spread the spectre of nukes across the planet wars don’t really cut it any more.

The world is the realm of the Devil and the fallen, it doesn’t make any sense because that’s not what this life is about. The real battle is in the realm of the spiritual, of faith. If you concentrate on the trees you won’t see the forest. Put on the Armour of God.

The elites have always loved Bentham’s Panopticon and now the technology is here to enable it. What will you do? What can you do? Bentham came to understand in later life that we should use the Panopticon to minutely examine the workings of our rulers. That’s what they’re terrified of. Technology is a double-edged sword and there’s everything to play for in this end game.

Clearly the demographics of countries are radically changing. All over the world, excepting parts of Africa, people are living longer and women are having less children in a lifetime. From a conventional point of view this is a disaster because there are fewer working age people and more old people to support. That’s transparently nonsense, like the overwhelming majority of contemporary received wisdom.

The economy determines how people live. Children used to work from an early age to help support the family and adults worked until they dropped. Now, thanks to the industrial revolution, children are kept in education for as long as possible because there only need to be a small proportion doing productive work producing food and keeping infrastructure going. On an individual level children and old people are a financial burden to a family unit but on the macro level this is meaningless. Money is printed and crises invented that “must be solved” to create and destroy demand . It’s all bullshit and magic. The lockdowns proved most people are engaged in futile tasks merely to create demand and destroy production.

Consider that the Pyramids in Egypt were a technology of social control. Building and maintaining the pyramids allowed the society to function and flourish until, as with all things, the complexity and maintenance became too much. Now the Pyramids stand as marvels produced by a bygone age for mysterious purposes, when truly there’s nothing mysterious at all.

Anyone who hasn’t read Philip K Dick’s novel “V.A.L.I.S.” should do so, if only to ponder its central thesis: that we live in biblical times but the Devil has overlain our current perceived reality on the events described in the Bible. There is no new thing under the sun. For all the insane imaginings of the transhumanists, people are born to live and die searching for the meaning of their lives and many of them are driven functionally insane by the process.

We’re not living in the end times. We’re living as people have always done, from moment to moment in the eternal now.

I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions here
We must have died alone
A long long time ago
