Systems, goals, and human excellence

Todd Hayen is a psychotherapist who regularly joins me on my podcast to shoot the breeze. We normally cover a wide range of unscripted talking points, and this time was no different. We chatted about free speech and what it actually means, as well as masculinity and why women like stubble on men. (I'm in luck because I have stubble!)➡️ Remember to check out my website for all sorts of great content.

A few months ago, a few others in the independent space and I were attacked online in what appeared to be orchestrated friendly fire. Why? Because after I went to China last year and came back impressed with the country, a group of independent media folks didn't like that I didn't describe China as a totalitarian, technocratic hellhole.Matt Ehret is a historian, researcher, and filmmaker who has also been attacked for similar reasons. He wrote a scathing Substack post in which he explained the problem with the entire anti-China narrative and how it plays into the hands of the elites trying to control us.

This is a very complicated discussion, but, basically, Simon Roche argues that a confluence of interlinked crises, both manmade and natural, are converging on a single period to trigger a global famine (and potentially far worse) around 2027. The manmade side includes the Ukraine war's impact on diesel and fertiliser, the Iran war threatening the Strait of Hormuz, a bond market crisis from the unwinding of the Japanese yen carry trade, and a stock market bubble exceeding 1929 levels, all of which he sees as orchestrated by a centuries-old Luciferian agenda to "break the neck of the world." On the natural side, a possible Carrington-level solar event (made worse by a weakening magnetic field), the Gleisberg cycle's agricultural devastation, and a super El Niño could be the worst in roughly 160 years, together making a catastrophic global food collapse in 2027, in his view, all but unavoidable.Simon refers to all of it as The Great Talmudic Confluence.

This week, Mike, Charles, and I chatted about systems, goals, and human excellence — more specifically, why it's important to approach life holistically and with a wide understanding of things, rather than specialising to the point of ignorance.Charles likes to run daily, which is a good excuse to be outside. The point is, don't sit behind a computer all day, and don't hyper-focus at the cost of missing out on what matters.

Universities are not what they used to be, argues forensic scientist David Klatzow. In fact, they are dead, and he adds that my being a varsity dropout probably had a net benefit on me.So why is university dead?David dives into it in this conversation.

I wrote this as an article on my website, but decided to read it so that you can listen to it too. I recommend reading the version on my website because it has pictures and a video.➡️ Here's the article: https://www.jermwarfare.com/10-reasons-why-trump-is-just-as-guilty-as-fauci/

Roger Cunningham, aka the Ethical Skeptic, explores the tactics of social engineering, propaganda, and the manipulation of scientific discourse, explaining why science is pretty much dead.He discusses how logical fallacies influence everything, and dives into the importance of scepticism.For example, do you remember hearing "safe and effective"?It's nonsense, and he explains why.➡️ Please subscribe to my newsletter at jermwarfare.com.

If you had asked me my opinion about homeschooling before I had a family, I would have laughed it off and parroted the usual tropes like "homeschooled kids are antisocial" and others.But the truth is, as one of America's leading figures in the homeschool movement, Kevin Swanson, says, homeschooling is about providing better education and a stronger focus on the family. After all, you don't outsource your children's health to the state, so why outsource their education to the state?There are obviously pros and cons to homeschooling, but Kevin — who was himself homeschooled — argues the pros outweigh the cons.➡️ Links, videos, trivia, and so on, all at jermwarfare.com

In this week's UK Column banter between myself, Mike, and Charles, we chat about internal combustion engines versus electric vehicles, and why the latter are great at reducing noise pollution but terrible at reducing other pollution.We also touch on data centres and why the whole manmade climate change narrative is bunk.Oh, and I learn a new word.

Dan Roodt is a prolific South African writer, poet, philosopher, and historian focused on all things Afrikanerdom. He has spent decades protecting and promoting Afrikaner history, culture, heritage, and, worryingly, the future of Afrikaners.You see, Afrikaners belong, as their name implies, in Africa, but have faced centuries of obstacles, challenges, and difficulties, making their future uncertain.Will Afrikanerdom exist in a hundred years?Dan answers that question in this conversation.
