Fast and Loosh

I don't know how much time and energy you give to programming. For example, how captivated were you by the colossal programming operation some of us refer to as Fakedemic? I, myself, was quite caught up by that throughly obnoxious bit of make believe, but I was considerably less absorbed by the smaller, but by no means insubstantial, Russian Federation v. Ukraine promotion. By the time we arrived on the doorstep of the Israel v. Hamas/Gaza theatrical, I'd fully crossed a mental Rubicon whereby I recognized that all the aforesaid promotions were what I now refer to as simulation spectaculars. The only attention they deserved was scrutiny of the sort one engages in when attempting to expose a fraud.

It strikes me that those who attempt to ride along with the relentless production line of programming must quickly become exhausted by the effort, and, thrown into the bargain, one ends up looking foolish for even attempting to make sense of any of it. No rational examination of what is claimed to be taking place in these absurdist presentations ever yields the desired results, namely, coherence. The more one attempts to impose reason on platformed fodder of the sort that humanity is importuned to believe in and to care so very deeply about, the more one experiences frustration. With few if any exceptions, the explanation for why things went so terribly sideways boils down to a deeply unsatisfactory summary along the lines of: "Things turned to liquid shit due to stupidity and/or insanity on the part of elites and/or high ranking officialdom." There are too many examples from the annals, e.g. both World War I and II, to list in support of this claim.

The only thing one can rely on when faced with programming is the pronounced absence of the sort of bedrock elements that typically hold any decent work of fiction together. The narrative strands of programming are chock full of preposterous claims in every possible direction, and you can rely on nothing ever being resolved at all. Whether the programming is about a claimed disease outbreak, a war, an assassination attempt, or some other equally serious occurrence, the key narrative threads simply don't hold up to even modest scrutiny. Why is such threadbare nonsense systematically placed in front of us? I believe the primary reasons are due to the ruling order's justified confidence that, in aggregate, we're unwilling and/or incapable of seeing through the threadbare narratives, at least not in numbers that might conceivably pose a problem. They are also confident that, in aggregate, we won't wake up to the fact that we're being subjected to programming 24/7 in the first place. Even lower down their list of potential worries is that we'll figure out that the chief aim of programming is to elicit negative emotional states. In other words, the emotional triggering that is a central feature of programming is an end in itself. It is programming's raison d'être. With that in mind, featuring ostensibly bizarre and disturbing phenomenon such as "dancing hospital staff" aids and abets an imperative that centers on creating negative emotional states. 

Tragically, with respect to programming, even after the colossal charade that obtained with all things Covid, an overwhelming majority of the public still only sees "reality" instead of wall to wall risible fiction when they stare at the screen. The mind control has been so successful over so many generations that most of the public has bought that "if it bleeds it leads" is simply the result of the curators of information flow, aka "media" giving us viewers what we want, namely life and death drama non stop. However, when one doesn't recognize that there is no media to begin with, there is only 24/7 perception management, then one will fail to take on board that information flow which traffics overwhelmingly in anxiety making material is almost certainly not about keeping us customers satisfied or informed. Certainly, there is some contingent that is highly susceptible to the kind of drama that is inherent in disasters and catastrophe, but I contend that they are a minority. Most people don't want anything to do with being bombarded by anxiety making stories. In any case, whether one is a proponent of "if it bleeds it leads" or eschews and repudiates it, there's a terrible price to be paid for not recognizing the simple fact that what one is being exposed to on every, so called, media platform, whether it's a legacy or, so called, alt space, is 24/7 programming, regardless of whether that programming is dishonestly labeled as entertainment, news, or a commercial. 

I suspect that the latest colossal anxiety making programming spectacle, let's call it "Iran v U.S.", is meant to seamlessly segue into an even larger World War III programming bonanza, and while it's relatively early days in this one, it's already the case that none of the narrative strands in the latest big promotion really hold together. This is so, despite the best efforts of the Overton Window armada attempting to make what is manifestly nonsensical balderdash appear reasonable and coherent. The phenomenon of being gaslit by perception management which, in this instance, is going to great pains to pretend that the U.S. v. Iran theatrical isn't (just more) ludicrous make believe, while, at the same time, taunting and trolling us relentlessly by offering up story lines that become ever more absurd and preposterous as we go along is, as stated before, consistent with the aim of the programming. We haven't yet been subjected to something as ludicrous as dancing hospital staff yet, but I'd offer decent odds that they'll gin up something like it in due course. Some characterize this mental torture tactic as a defining feature of what is often referred to as a humiliation ritual, and while I don't take issue with that view, my bias is that there may be something more going on than simply humiliation for the sake of subjugation. This particular type of "ritual" seems tailor made to produce very high levels of negative emotion in its victims, and, as strange as it's likely to sound, a case has been made that negative emotions, in particular, have an energy profile that is amenable to being fabricated into something akin to a powerful narcotic that provides a sELect set of consumers with a very cherished high, for lack of a better way to describe the effects of what is called loosh.

The essence of the loosh narrative is that the systematic exposure of human beings to trauma-where trauma is broadly defined to include any kind of non trivial physical and/or psychic injury-is what makes the proverbial spice flow, and, while the loosh thesis regarding the nature of human existence may be literally and figuratively out there, so to speak, it has the great advantage of explaining so much and, ironically, doing it in an un-tortured fashion. So, setting aside that the loosh thesis is a dark narrative, it's more than a little compelling as an answer to some burning questions regarding the nature of our species' existence. As the late astronomer, Fred Hoyle, makes clear, the orthodox explanation regarding our origins simply doesn't pass muster. In brief, in case you haven't arrived at this understanding already, the loosh thesis posits that the human condition, such as it is, can neither be attributed to the mental, psychological, and cognitive defects of high ranking officialdom, nor blamed on the arbitrary whims and/or psychopathic tendencies of the, so called, Elites, who should be viewed as little more than elevated members of a glorified overseer class serving a very advanced non human intelligent life form. No, instead, and more prosaically, the human condition is the result of the cold hard fact that unrelenting turmoil, (and, apparently, the more bewildering and senseless the turmoil is, the better) desperate levels of interpersonal conflict, as well as widespread individual loneliness and social isolation, are precisely the kind of conditions conducive to creating the optimal milieu for the production of a very particular sort of harvestable energy. This commodity is very highly valued by what are likely to be ancient and highly intelligent extra terrestrial life forms who may be responsible for our very existence. It's quite possible, even arguably probable, that they created us, and that they did so for roughly the same reasons that we humans breed livestock. Finally, and most critically, they possess the ability to insure that the woeful conditions I mentioned earlier are perpetually maintained.
