Title: A series on empirical anthropology ...

Does society disgust you?  It is cultural.

Trump derangement ... like eating chocolate covered grasshoppers ... for some people.  As the idea of gayness is ... disgusting ... for some people.  In my case the Clinton family induces an irrepressible gag reflex.  It is psychology, and its variance between individuals, and groups (culture) that tells us what is going on.  Not physics.  Jonathan Haidt is worth listening to on his own.

The genesis of modernity, and its dysfunctionality:

It isn't just about kissing the owl statue at the Bilderberger meetings.

I have connections to all this, I am a part of modernity.  But I also nuke communists.

The idea of complete automation, leading to the free lunch ... is Marxism.  It is still with us, with current movements.  It is still a myth, and a dystopia in implementation.  The only difference is that Marx considered steam power as revolutionary, but today we have AI and BitCoin.

Disgust with politicians ... and why I am a Kekistani ....

In two parts.  Praise Kek!  There are two sides to racism ... the problem is the splitting of the psyche into the ego and the shadow.  I am both oppressor and victim.

In part 2, one can see why I have moved into the limnal space between monotheism and polytheism.

People, as individuals, do not disgust me.  Individuals, acting as in groups often do.  I am sometimes amazed we still exist, nuclear and biological weapons and all that...

Oh Pff, what would make you think that?  I just reinvent the whell when required.  Well, I USED to.  These days I build things.
