Podcast Episode #81 – Uberboyo and the Potential and Limits of the Individual

If you consider the potential man by his biological needs and the potential for his brain for processing and empathy then evolutionary appropriate foods may be more likely in some ways to help him attain those things. Meanwhile higher-order mammals like humans had tribal lives which reflect distributed development, which coincides with studies a few years back showed humans can barely handle more than 150 people in their social circles. Civilization crushed this natural behavior and replaced it with carbohydrates which helped our brains and hearts dramatically while also moving away from ketones from hunter-gatherers, which causes a shift in your emotions and disposition if you ever try it. Nonetheless as he points out, the hunter-gatherers were much more impressive specimens.

However unless I missed it there’s no mention of their empathy within tribes, the same way man painted the wolf. I disagreed with objectivists in the past and later realized this was because of the ignorance of the science behind man’s biological needs and the physiological workings of his brain, relying instead of faulty pure psychology (psychologists rank poorly in my world, while psychiatry is completely corrupt). In other words potential is tied to biological needs from which you can make an argument where libertarian socialism (not state socialism obviously, and I like to contrast philosophically with anarcho-communism though they say it’s the same) is closest to those evolutionary derived needs, and much behavior is tied to the physiological health of his brain and heart, making other claims more superfluous.

In other words I disagree a little with your guest as to the nature of corruption of man and the level of damage inflicted by civilization on our psyches. We end up with an abundance of dogma and mental disease and eventually self-destruct at the lower echelons like ghettos. In fact like you argue, corruption is a permanent feature of civilization, and any social structures and institutions are broken that don’t proactively recognize it from their inception, like a computer without a firewall. It’s never been about utopia but the road there and recognizing each change to an institution should drive a relative increase in freedom at that time rather than overnight utopian revolution.

So the main benefit to humans I see from civilization is simply agriculture which increased carbohydrate consumption, but even those could be found in nature wherever humans learned to dig up tubers and climb trees for honey. What it mainly provides today is industry. It’s telling we all see civilized man as pitiful since this is completely unnecessary and contrived. Meanwhile hunter-gatherer man mostly needed carbs and soap. You drive brain development, the rest is inevitable. If you quantify brain potential using empathy – since disease opposes it, as documented in many research articles on parasitism and its effect on neurobiology – you find it amply in tribal cultures, more than many civilizations, and nowhere was this more evident than in North America where they also took care of their food supply and smoked good stuff.

I didn’t disagree much on anything Tom said although collectivism could be qualified even more in public discussions as necessarily voluntary and dangerous at state level since nothing stays the same. Otherwise this is obviously all only my opinion.

These days you look at groups like antifa and they appear more like controlled opposition to herd the anti-colonialist sentiment and to blame whites instead of the british (what american exceptionalism helps hide), but essentially I agree with them on underlying sentiments. They identify as anarchists sometimes more than marxists and it loosely relates to sentiments experienced by native tribes, so I wonder how to get those kids back from orange man bad college mind control to actually care about fixing ghettos instead of creating them and then maybe we can talk about civilization because it looks already gone since everyone talks but no one communicates.

Another commenter on the previous post already called this one…. The lockdown and the healthcare passports are already going the way of the 1930s prohibition.

It’s obvious Fauci doesn’t know what he is talking about. He is corrupt, and funded the gain of function research, but it’s also obvious that underneath it all he just doesn’t get it. He is the stooge puppet that Davos put on tv so they can hide in the shadows.

Covid has a 99.7% survival rate. People died WITH covid, not from it. They had other health issues that killed them, or weakened them to the point that whatever common flu or infection came along next would kill them. Covid maybe got there before the flu, or maybe the hospital wanted higher reimbursement rates. But covid wasn’t the true problem.

for 99.7% of us, covid is not an issue. We can get it and recover from it and we would have no idea if we had a bad flu or covid unless a lab tech told us.

There are alcoholics in our society. We all know this. But instituting Prohibition didn’t solve alcoholism. Most people can have a few drinks and we are ok. Locking down all alcohol was a stupid grasp for political power, and the majority of the population just worked around it.

Several big companies have agreed, at least officially, to ban employees who haven’t genuflected to Washington with a health passport. We will see if they actually stick to that promise as it costs them more and more.

Small businesses and individuals are already ignoring the new prohibition. If you want to attract the best employees, you can’t treat them like babies. It is that simple. Smart people know covid isn’t really an issue if you get it, and like the flu you almost certainly will get it and survive just fine.

Biden will be dead soon. He has bad dementia and very few people believe he will live out his term. Harris couldn’t get elected in the democratic primary, and her failure at the southern border shows her lack of leadership. They are both finished.

So like the other prohibition, this dumb idea will wear itself out. The people who push for lockdowns and excluding their fellow citizens may appear powerful now, but their treachery will be remembered long after the dust settles.
