Description

"What civilization is is 6 billion people trying to make themselves happy by standing on each other's shoulders and kicking each other's teeth in. It's not a pleasant situation and yet, you can stand back and look at this planet and see that we have the money, the power, the medical understanding, the scientific know-how, the love and the community to produce a kind of human paradise but we are led by the least among us. The least intelligent, the least noble, the least visionary, we are led by the least among us and we do not fight back against the dehumanizing values that are handed down as control icons [...]

Culture is not your friend. Culture is for other people's convenience and the convenience of various institutions, churches, companies, tax collection schemes what have you. 

Culture is not your friend. 

It insults you, it disempowers you, it uses and abuses you [...]"

"Psychedelics In The Age Of Intelligent Machines" (27 April 1999 - Seattle)
 
McKenna has influenced me in many ways and this particular lecture came at the right time for me while I was trying to figure out how to sum up words to describe the madness that we're experiencing right now.

In this episode, I talk about Critical Race Theory. Now, I'm not an expert on Critical Race Theory however, this subject really fascinates me. 

I follow this article from New Discourse:

"Critical Race Theory…

• believes racism is present in every aspect of life, every relationship, and every interaction and therefore has its advocates look for it everywhere
• relies upon “interest convergence” (white people only give black people opportunities and freedoms when it is also in their own interests) and therefore doesn’t trust any attempt to make racism better
• is against free societies and wants to dismantle them and replace them with something its advocates control
• only treats race issues as “socially constructed groups,” so there are no individuals in Critical Race Theory
• believes science, reason, and evidence are a “white” way of knowing and that storytelling and lived experience is a “black” alternative, which hurts everyone, especially black people
• rejects all potential alternatives, like colorblindness, as forms of racism, making itself the only allowable game in town (which is totalitarian)
• acts like anyone who disagrees with it must do so for racist and white supremacist reasons, even if those people are black (which is also totalitarian)
• cannot be satisfied, so it becomes a kind of activist black hole that threatens to destroy everything it is introduced into"

The Proud Boys are not going to be your threat. The creation of a White Identitarian Pol Pot is being born at this moment is.

CRT is NOT your friend.
