That being so, consider this post a &#8216;month-in-review,&#8217; or a &#8216;4 x week in review.&#8217; By gosh, the length certainly warrants that perspective. Perhaps it's even best absorbed in small chunks over a few weeks. I&#8217;ll leave that up to you. </p><p>The goal of this 4-part post is to address three primary questions: </p><ul><li><p>Will we do it again? Will we sacrifice autistic kids for ideology?</p></li><li><p>Why did it happen last time? How ill-informed were we that we thought we were making the right choice?</p></li><li><p>What is rapidly changing that prevents us from being (1) informed and (2) empowered to carry out actions in response to that data?</p></li></ul><p>Let&#8217;s begin.</p><h3>Part 1: Smoke, mirrors and social media</h3><p><em>&#8220;I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of the peace.&#8221; - Spinoza</em></p><p>Despite our best wishes, our species&#8217; devolution appears to be continuing rapidly. The Orwellian Ministry of Truth is coming to a nation near you, and it saddens me greatly that the person who is lighting the match to burn Rome down is the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese (for non-Australians, we call him Albo). With such a last name, symbolic of his Italian roots, one would have assumed that he had some respect for Western civilisation.

We couldn&#8217;t have culture as a big influence. It would reveal that worldviews are real. The New Left doesn&#8217;t believe in worldviews. If it quarantined itself, it would dissolve. So it has to assume it is human fate, and does so every morning by looking at itself in the mirror, smiling and calling itself &#8216;progressive.&#8217;</p><p>So, to test if culture was an influence, or rather, to remove culture as an influence, the total sample size; boys, girls, and all ages was pooled. This still revealed big differences but was weakened enough for the goal being sought. This, my friends, is activist research. The people carrying it out should be ashamed of themselves. Like our neuro-affirming psychologists, they are holidaying on human suffering.</p><p>As we stew on that, we ask: What else has been missed that wasn&#8217;t even reviewed because of the magician&#8217;s choice presented?

Self-identifying as transgender nearly quintupled among 18- to 24-year-olds and quadrupled among 25- to 34-year-olds, <strong>but either declined or did not change significantly among those older than 35.</strong> By 2022, 2.78% of 18- to 24-year-old adults self-identified as transgender, up from 0.59% in 2014. The increase was driven by those identifying as <strong>transgender men</strong> or gender non-conforming; identification as a transgender woman did not change significantly among young adults and declined significantly among all adults. The increase in self-identifying as transgender was larger among <strong>White individuals</strong> than among Black or Hispanic individuals.&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-16" href="#footnote-16" target="_self">16</a></p><p>The most catastrophic circumstances of sacrificing the most vulnerable for ideology we have had in a very long time.

Yes, you do trust the government. Perhaps you are pro-gender diversity. That&#8217;s up to you. That&#8217;s your free will. Maybe you even admit that the battle is fake, to grab power, but that power must be grabbed for the greater good.

It forces us to remember that social organisation is best tested when our enemy has power, and we are still unafraid. Institutions are strong. Leaders stand atop them. Sometimes they rule with a bias for one group. Sometimes they rule with a bias for another group. In the long run, everyone benefits.

Because of the invisible force of trust. If you live in a high-trust society, it is the lubricant you can not see but feel in every positive outcome you take for granted. If you live in a low-trust society, you feel its absence, as every interaction feels like trudging through wet sand. </p><p>What beliefs separate high- from low-trust societies? Broadly:</p><ol><li><p>Might is right.</p></li><li><p>You own what you can defend.</p></li><li><p>Kin is more important than civilisation.</p></li></ol><p>The problem is, most Westerners don&#8217;t believe that&#8217;s true. They wake up in the morning, wholly unaware of their ancestors&#8217; sacrifice to overcome those three beliefs to install:</p><ol><li><p>Morals (laid down in legislation) are right.</p></li><li><p>You export the monopoly of violence to the state that uses said violence for the protection of your personal safety and property rights.</p></li><li><p>Nobody gets preferential treatment. Everyone is equal under the law. </p></li></ol><p>Which means that, via ignorance, then after being met with facts that are actively avoided, thus transforming into malice, the lubricant dries up. We can&#8217;t hold it. We never saw its construction. The people who remember times without it are dead. So:</p><ol><li><p>We hold a worldview that we do not believe is a worldview: we are human fate.</p></li><li><p>Our worldview is superior to all other worldviews due to our birthdate: we are &#8216;progressive.&#8217;</p></li><li><p>We don&#8217;t need to engage in debate because we are &#8216;non-affiliated&#8217; to the cultural thumb drive of our ancestors, which awards us the tool of rationality by default: we are inherently truth-bearing.</p></li></ol><p>Unable to comprehend that we are not fate, progress or truth-bearing, when circumstances present themselves as evidence that we are living a grand lie, we seek to minimise. No different to grief. We enter states of denial. We allow small variances in behaviour our ancestors would never have. We slice ourselves up. We re-tribalise (falling from the civilisational pyramid) by allowing one group to be treated differently. Once that group recognises it is a tribe, due to being defined by the relative differences in behaviour, it recognises its tribe, is allowed to do what it wants, and must sit above other tribes on the hierarchy. One thing we know that is unquestionable about our nature: we hate to give up power once gained. Losing something is more painful than never holding what we wanted.</p><p>What have we slow-cooked for ourselves? The fall of Europe, and its simple beginnings, such as no longer asking foreigners for train tickets.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-19" href="#footnote-19" target="_self">19</a> If you are in Europe, you have likely seen this in action. Perhaps you even saw it before it went into action, so you compassionately understand why this is not the ticket inspectors' burden to shoulder. For a couple of years, you couldn&#8217;t ride an intercity train in Germany without migrant-and-ticket-inspector conflict.</p><p>Merkel announced &#8216;Wir schaffen das,&#8217; opening the door to millions. Those millions grew up in countries managed by tribal warlords. Might is right. You own what you can defend. A ticket would be asked for. A passenger would simply refuse to acknowledge the ticket inspector existed. If assistance was requested, 2 or 3 ticket inspectors would attempt to engage with the passenger. They would stop at the next station. Wait. Try to remove the passenger. The passenger would get violent. The police would be called. You could be sitting at a train station with a two-hour delay before the police removed the passenger, who was completely surprised to be dropped in the middle of nowhere, thinking that looking down at their new smartphone (which always surprised me financially, considering the pretence of their presence), was enough to gain a countrywide free travel pass.</p><p>What would you do if you were Deutsche Bahn? Accept 2-hour delays? Accept unsafe working conditions for staff? Of course, not. It is not your burden, either. Merkel said &#8216;Wir&#8217; but really, looking back, she meant &#8216;you.&#8217; And you do not have the resources of a nation-state to absorb millions of people who were yesterday living under tribal warlords, where women are worth half the word of a man, are best kept inside, and you become a warlord by clearing out the village inhabitants with a bunch of your friends at 18 years old. </p><p>Merkel was optimistic. The German population, living in the safest country (at the time) I had ever been in, was optimistic. A lot of Germans had not travelled to 49 countries such as I have. They had not had a knife pulled on them, as I have. They didn&#8217;t know anyone who was raped, as I do. They didn&#8217;t know anyone who was murdered, as I do. They have not lived in migrant areas such as I almost exclusively have since leaving Australia. They have never even spoken to a person who hates them for existing. </p><p>In short, they were living a dream, one they are only now slowly waking up to. They were not instilled with the software of the true human condition, how fragile it is, and its lowest expression. They enjoyed its highest, a result of countless generations of self-discipline, scientific inquiry, and legacy viewed as intergenerational, not personal. They were trained to hate all of those generations because of one generation, whether their grandfather was called up as cannon fodder on the Russian front, or a early sympathiser. All shall be hated. Therefore, anybody else shall be loved (without conditions).</p><p>So today:</p><ol><li><p>Indigenous Europeans, or European-looking, are expected to play by the rules.</p></li><li><p>Foreigners are not expected to play by the rules, they are best left on their own.</p></li></ol><p>Which does what? Brings about the very discrimination and social exclusion Germans fear so deeply. I will judge you by what I visually see. I will divide you based on that visual appearance. I will tribalise my society. Thanks to the New Left. This is not just Germany. It&#8217;s Europe-wide. It&#8217;s not hard to find evidence. The perpetrators film it, and it's posted as comedy content. Look how stupid the indigenous Europeans are. Their worldview prioritises tolerance. This is all you have to do to ride for free.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

A mass migration protest is carried out. Counter-protestors, with freshly minted signs in hand, call the mass migration protestors hurty words. The mass migration protestors tend to be in working-class suburbs where migrants are housed. The protestors tend to (1) live behind 6-foot fences, in leafy suburbs or (2) are university students in love with an idea they are unwilling to facilitate themselves. When asked to house a refugee, suddenly nobody has a spare room.</p><p>To Australians reading this, the idea of &#8216;housing a migrant&#8217; may come across as absurd. But that is exactly what has been happening in Germany. Incredibly, Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine sent Germans to their central train station with signs in hand. This is the space I have.

Let&#8217;s hear it:</p><p>&#8220;The incident deals a significant blow to Germany&#8217;s centrist parties, just a month before federal elections, as voter support increasingly shifts toward the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-21" href="#footnote-21" target="_self">21</a> </p><p>Yes, the clear and present danger is not a random knife attack whilst playing with your child in a playground. It&#8217;s the far-right. For a highly educated country, the stupidity is alarming. If you see the threat as the far-right, you will produce the far-right you fear, because the far-right is a symptom, not the illness. Polling support for the far right is not goose-stepping soldiers spawning on a street corner near you. It is a grandmother who doesn&#8217;t feel safe or a daughter who doesn&#8217;t feel safe, simply ticking a protest vote on a polling form.

If a traditional party said: &#8216;Ok, we have an in-grouping problem.&#8217; They would be leading the polls, not the AFD. But such an opinion will get you excommunicated from the table of conversation where the agreed-upon facts (worldview), not said, but shown by behaviour, are that all humans are just waiting to be re-born as Western Liberal Universalists. Such a birth is an unavoidable consequence of a friendly Western moment of conception: a smile, a &#8216;refugees welcome&#8217; sticker on a car, and the more outrage at anybody who mentions statistics, the better.

every year, and most are not running on Western software, are you a &#8216;far-right racist nazi facist&#8217; for suggesting that is going to present in-grouping problems? Let alone infrastructure?  What about 1 million? How about 10 million? Maybe 100m? A billion?</p><p>Hold that thought. Because that thought requires debate, and the New Left have fallen from the top of the civilisation period where we talk ideas based on science (large enough sample size over a long enough time period), and rest at a lower level: hurty words. </p><p>As always, it is useful to remember we devolve the way we evolved. When we were cavemen, we knocked each other over the head when we didn&#8217;t agree. When we evolved a little more, we called each other expletives. That was a huge social evolution. The preservation of life during disagreement? How wonderful. Then the next stage of social evolution was choosing intellectual debate over character assassination. I present my ideas. You present your ideas. Nobody is a XYZ simply from not agreeing.</p><p>Unfortunately, these realities have not been shared with the next generation. Pauline Hanson, the leader of the One Nation party in Australia, currently sitting atop the polls, has produced school walkouts.</p><p>Yes. Children are not going to school, and instead are going to the street, not because Pauline is there, but because they heard that she is leading in the polls. In other words, it is a protest against popular opinion. Which, if we were at the top of the civilisational pyramid, we would talk facts. But we aren&#8217;t. We are one step below, so we default to &#8216;racist.&#8217;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!zQYo!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2350f426-ad2e-461e-9dfa-b4927d3de04d_2342x1593.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!zQYo!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2350f426-ad2e-461e-9dfa-b4927d3de04d_2342x1593.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!zQYo!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2350f426-ad2e-461e-9dfa-b4927d3de04d_2342x1593.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!zQYo!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2350f426-ad2e-461e-9dfa-b4927d3de04d_2342x1593.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!zQYo!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2350f426-ad2e-461e-9dfa-b4927d3de04d_2342x1593.jpeg 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!zQYo!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2350f426-ad2e-461e-9dfa-b4927d3de04d_2342x1593.jpeg" width="617" height="419.5260989010989" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/2350f426-ad2e-461e-9dfa-b4927d3de04d_2342x1593.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:990,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:617,&quot;bytes&quot;:358367,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.jasfield.com/i/217746114?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2350f426-ad2e-461e-9dfa-b4927d3de04d_2342x1593.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!zQYo!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2350f426-ad2e-461e-9dfa-b4927d3de04d_2342x1593.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!zQYo!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2350f426-ad2e-461e-9dfa-b4927d3de04d_2342x1593.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!zQYo!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2350f426-ad2e-461e-9dfa-b4927d3de04d_2342x1593.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!zQYo!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2350f426-ad2e-461e-9dfa-b4927d3de04d_2342x1593.jpeg 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon-noB79L"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2 icon-noB79L"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>The adults in the room? Further evidence of the widespread nature of our civilisational crumbling: many are happy. They are posting videos with words such as: &#8216;The kids are alright.&#8217;</p><p>Are they? The video captures schoolchildren screaming: &#8220;Pauline Hanson go to hell, take the racists there as well.&#8221;</p><p>Regular readers will understand that call-and-response chants release endorphins, which oxytocin is a proxy for. That is, the endogenous opioid system is our scorecard for attachment. However, it is open to both positive and negative &#8216;hacking.&#8217; Yes, we release them from hugging, and this is what is released when monkeys groom, but they are also released from running. We feel socially rejected after physically exercising, cool, right?</p><p>But what can land us in hot water is call-and-response chants releasing endorphins, and us assuming the words that come out of our mouths are correct, because we feel euphoric as we say them collectively with others. Such endorphins would also be released if we chanted together, &#8216;Elephants are blue and so are you!&#8217; Elephants don&#8217;t turn blue. It's just fun to say.</p><p>So, no, the kids are not alright.

Suggesting 1 billion people, again, sounds absurd. But the primary source of immigration at present in Australia is India (up to 100,000 per month). There are 1.48b Indians in India. Depending on which source you review, there are more people in Mumbai alone than in all of Australia. </p><p>Have you been to Mumbai? I have. It was a wonderful experience. The rumours are true. If you stand near the Leopold Cafe, people will approach you to be an extra in a Bollywood movie. It was fun. I would like to visit again. What is unavoidable is that life is also very different there from Australia. There is a caste system. There are 200 million untouchables. I walked along a beach, ankle-deep in plastic. I saw many people go to the toilet in the open and clean themselves with their hands. I&#8217;m not saying that the people coming to Australia are doing that. I am saying they come from that. It is empathetic to understand another person&#8217;s environmental normality.</p><p>What is the topic of conversation in the outer suburbs of Melbourne and Sydney? The new appearance: ankle-deep rubbish.  I excluded the &#8216;gotcha videos&#8217; that are also spreading widely in case you are wondering why the finger is pointing in that direction. </p><div id="youtube2-iQYZQqrFbQo" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;iQYZQqrFbQo&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/iQYZQqrFbQo?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Speak to an old lady in Asia. Ask her about rubbish disposal. She likely will show you the window she throws the rubbish out of, landing in a river/canal below, to end up in the sea. Before plastic, this made sense. People ate from banana leaves. Waste was organic. It may have even fed the fish. Plastic bags and bottles are not. But for many, the habit hasn&#8217;t changed. The younger generation, for example, in Indonesia, has. But that required a worldview change, didn&#8217;t it? How did that happen? The kids are taught in school. As I was. It&#8217;s not racist to adjust worldviews to serve shared goals.</p><p>Is that what politicians are telling children at these rallies? No, of course not. Where you find children, you find a Greens politician grooming them. It didn&#8217;t have to be like that. I voted Greens a few times. That&#8217;s why I call them out so much today. I surf. I care about the ocean. Now, the Greens would prefer we talk about migrants than sea mammals. Why? Because caring about the environment is mainstream, and the Greens party around the world have made themselves the tent of fresh faces. That is, their existence rests on importing adult voters and brainwashing children, perhaps future voters.

According to the data, (1) recent migrants and (2) single, young, wealthy, white, atheist females or males with low testosterone. Seems a bit specific, doesn&#8217;t it? It is. If you think they don&#8217;t have that data, you are living in a dream world. Frankly, it&#8217;s not that complicated.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-22" href="#footnote-22" target="_self">22</a></p><p>Fresh migrants are easy. Demonise the existing population, and celebrate the new entrants as highest on the social hierarchy. More on that, a little later.</p><p>Why (A) single, (B) young, (C) wealthy, (D) white, (E) atheist, (F) females or (G) males with low testosterone? Let&#8217;s break it down.</p><p>Let&#8217;s start with wealthy. The New Left, as the home of the wealthy, is a global phenomenon.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-23" href="#footnote-23" target="_self">23</a> The reason for that is that the New Left only talks about social issues, and only people who have economic issues covered have the capacity to talk about social issues. You don&#8217;t protest gender diversity in Cambodia. You loan your stove for a shovel. Go to work. Earn a couple of bucks. Trade your shovel back for a stove. Cook your dinner. Go to sleep. Do it again. Who does that accidentally also give us? The young, who are looked after by their parents. So that&#8217;s (B) and (C).</p><p>Why white? Because, as we have discovered, they are the most open-minded to other people. A product of Western Civilisation, which is a product of Christianity, a unique tool in the human timeline that told adherents everyone is made in God&#8217;s image:</p><p>&#8220;Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed;<br>for in the image of God has God made mankind.&#8221;

No.</p><p>Should someone bang on the door of a hotel? No.</p><p>Should someone slash a dinghy? No.</p><p>Should someone call for the burning down of refugee accommodation? No.</p><p>Should someone who molested an 11-year-old walk free? No.</p><p>Should someone who tried to stab shoppers walk free? No.</p><p>Should someone who tried to blow up an air force base get bail? No.</p><p>Should someone not be charged for making death threats at a counter-protest that is inciting violence? No.</p><p>But reaching those answers requires civilisation. It requires the rule of law. It is disappearing, and if the UK is not seen as a crystal ball for Western countries, and speeches such as Rob&#8217;s to young children are not called out for indoctrinating vulnerable minds, our descendants will rightly place the blame on our shoulders.</p><p>The problem is, these social media censorship laws will likely prevent us from even talking about our own decline. What is included? An ambiguous line of &#8220;content that glorifies crime.&#8221; Sounds innocent enough? We don&#8217;t want kids to be double-tapping criminal behaviour, right? Sure. But do you trust the minister to determine what public awareness versus glorification is? That appears incredibly subjective.</p><p>Here is an uncomfortable watch. Moments, those just caught on camera, of the kind of chaos that is rife on European streets. It wasn&#8217;t like this 10 years ago. Decline is a choice.</p><div id="youtube2-SVKc-pYkqmI" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;SVKc-pYkqmI&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/SVKc-pYkqmI?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Because of its violent nature, it is age-restricted, so you may need a YouTube account to watch it, and I advise turning on the audio. It is a man born in London who rang into a radio station, sharing his views on the degradation of his country and the normalisation of violent crime in our communities.</p><p>I would prefer to not speak of any of this. I would prefer to speak only of excitatory synapses and gut dysbiosis. Sadly, a large percentage of the world is not making decisions based on intergenerational fairness. Based on answering the question: What type of country will we leave our grandchildren? </p><p>Friends and family in Australia, after years, I&#8217;ve been sharing stories of Europe. Executions in train stations, Christmas market sexual abuse and the general enclavement of the cities into safe and not safe areas. Finally, they are tasting what social decay is, and they don&#8217;t like it one bit. Supermarket sword fights, house break-ins, and unequal application of the law prompt one to ask: Is civilisation certain at all?</p><p>Then you have to ask: How far will I let it go, until my worldview includes the belief that civilisation isn't certain, humanity is a fragile elevation above feral, and worldviews (culture) are the software that saves us?</p><p>In the last 5 years, trust in the justice system (and health system) has declined in Australia.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

That reality is why some people find it so hard to describe what &#8216;European Culture&#8217; is. It can be described more easily by what it is not (felt acutely when visiting other countries), because its display is manufactured by self-restraint. I won&#8217;t have a loud call on the train. I won&#8217;t throw my rubbish on the ground. I won&#8217;t use violence to express my anger. I won&#8217;t = I chose civilisation above myself. But that also requires social cohesion to be valued at a civilisational level, not clan. </p><p>In a fascinating study, the development of trust, for example, that another person will likely keep a secret, was tracked in children from age 7 to age 11 in Sweden and Turkey. Children in Turkey trust familiar people to a higher degree than Swedish children do at 11 years old. However, Turkish children trust unfamiliar people less at age 11 than they do at age 7. This is successful clan in-grouping, unsuccessful civilisational in-grouping. Those who are not in the tent are not trusted and/or not trustworthy.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Nykm!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa4a7de6c-01b6-4990-8ea0-b563aa620693_1550x624.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Nykm!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa4a7de6c-01b6-4990-8ea0-b563aa620693_1550x624.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Nykm!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa4a7de6c-01b6-4990-8ea0-b563aa620693_1550x624.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Nykm!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa4a7de6c-01b6-4990-8ea0-b563aa620693_1550x624.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Nykm!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa4a7de6c-01b6-4990-8ea0-b563aa620693_1550x624.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Nykm!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa4a7de6c-01b6-4990-8ea0-b563aa620693_1550x624.png" width="1456" height="586" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a4a7de6c-01b6-4990-8ea0-b563aa620693_1550x624.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:586,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:326316,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.jasfield.com/i/217746114?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa4a7de6c-01b6-4990-8ea0-b563aa620693_1550x624.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Nykm!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa4a7de6c-01b6-4990-8ea0-b563aa620693_1550x624.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Nykm!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa4a7de6c-01b6-4990-8ea0-b563aa620693_1550x624.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Nykm!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa4a7de6c-01b6-4990-8ea0-b563aa620693_1550x624.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Nykm!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa4a7de6c-01b6-4990-8ea0-b563aa620693_1550x624.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon-noB79L"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2 icon-noB79L"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>That is the future that awaits us if the New Left get their way. Visit Cape Town for its Western version. Swim a Bakoven, and you can leave your phone in sight and enjoy the very cold water. Drive out of Cape Town, and it&#8217;s privately paid for security trucks with mounted shotguns, and street signs tell you absolutely not to stop. Why? Because you will be shot and picked apart for scrap. Your car, your belongings, your shoes. When I worked in Cape Town, my contact there favoured the use of local crime bosses for security, because they were better than the police. They had relationships with the offenders (and likely got a little money, so they wouldn't hassle us). That is clan life.

protest:</p><ol><li><p>Do you want a social safety net?</p></li></ol><p>If they do, then they must pay the price: Social cohesion. </p><p>Screaming for your ideological enemy to go to hell is not social cohesion. Social cohesion comes from an allegiance to civilisation (country) above kin. Calling patriotism racist is not social cohesion. You can love 8 billion people, but they aren&#8217;t contributing toward the piggy bank paying for your education/health/housing assistance. Your fellow citizens are, and are less likely to avoid taxes if they report high levels of affiliation to the nation-state. </p><p>If you want a social safety net, you have to learn to be friends again with the taxpayers who fund it, rather than scolding them. But that&#8217;s maths. Greens don&#8217;t like maths, which is why they self-report the highest scores for supporting tax evasion. Greens, not the old Greens, the new Greens, want to burn it all down. If we let our children become infected with their virus, they may just achieve it.</p><h3>Part 3: Keep your eye on one thing, and one thing only</h3><p>Why is that maths is so easily avoided? That we are permeable to ideas that are complicit in our own suffering, and the suffering of those yet to come? Easy, because we make choices based on false arguments. We feel we are doing what&#8217;s right. We side with good over evil. We just missed that we weren&#8217;t playing the same game as the opposition.</p><p>As many would be aware, there was a mass, there is no better word than &#8216;invasion&#8217; of the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. Why invasion? Because, as far as the facts are allowed to be released, the 80,000 that crossed the border were bussed in by the Moroccans. Many were fleeing criminal charges. A member of the Moroccan government itself briefed a European diplomat that it is cheaper to send criminals to Spain than to send them to jail. Along the lines of &#8216;If they are happy to keep taking them, we are happy to keep giving them.&#8217;</p><p>Which means in a month, the beach has been colonised.</p><div id="youtube2-ojRSDxn0tbw" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;ojRSDxn0tbw&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/ojRSDxn0tbw?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Will we talk about that colonisation?</p><p>No, of course not. That is not allowed. That is outside the Overton window. </p><p>The conversation can only be about whether you are good or evil.</p><p>If you are good, you are pro-new entrant, by whatever means.</p><p>If you are bad, you are anti-new entrant, by whatever means.</p><p>Which side will you be on?</p><p>We can help you along by placing images in your eyes.</p><div id="youtube2-c1IfL16tFtk" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;c1IfL16tFtk&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/c1IfL16tFtk?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Yes, we&#8217;ll make your good versus evil debate a young boy, sitting on a rock, who at least looks like he may have just arrived, but who knows, that might just be convenient. So then, actually, you are good, because you believe in child welfare. You are evil if you do not believe in child welfare. See how good we are at narrowing the lens of discussion?</p><p>You may say: So what? So what? What if this boy was one who crossed over? Does he not deserve to be Spanish too? We will put the &#8216;what&#8217;s your number&#8217; game to the side for now, of how many of the 8 billion people that game applies to before Spain is no longer Spain but a large Ceuta and civilisation is no more. We will simply ask you: How many bodies?</p><p>Because right now, there are up to 3 rapes per day.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-26" href="#footnote-26" target="_self">26</a> Because the 80,000 were not all pre-pubescent boys; they were almost exclusively military-aged men.</p><p>So, we ask again: How many young female European bodies do you trade for your out-group preference of care for young male, mostly African, bodies? 10? 20? 30? Currently it&#8217;s 3 per day. So the Western media appears to find that acceptable. What warms you to choose the out-group? What changes when you find the cost of that? We quickly realise life isn't a good-versus-evil battle. It's complicated. If the choice seems easy, it's likely because someone presented it that way to you.</p><p>Let&#8217;s titrate and bore ourselves with some numbers after that confrontational situation. The same good-versus-evil battle is presented by the Australian media. If you are anti-mass migration. If you find a new Tasmania per year unacceptable, you are called a far-right racist. That&#8217;s by design. It pushes you outside what is acceptable to speak your truth. The media's obsession with narrowing the focus of discussion in the past 10 years is why freedom of expression is rapidly declining. Say the wrong word, and you could be cancelled.</p><p>So while Australia&#8217;s refugee intake is at a four-decade high, representing 5% of total migration numbers, meaning 95% of migrants are upper-middle-class global citizens, not fleeing a war zone, who does the media interview on the topic? Perhaps:</p><ul><li><p>A young couple looking to start a family?</p></li><li><p>A 75-year-old pensioner?</p></li><li><p>A single mum?</p></li></ul><p>No, of course not. Then we have to talk maths. We don&#8217;t like maths. We like good versus evil battles. We get a quote from the deputy chief executive of Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, Jana Favero:</p><p>&#8220;Scapegoating migrants won&#8217;t build a home, lower a grocery bill or help a family pay the rent. Australia deserves better than politicians looking for someone to blame instead of delivering real solutions.&#8221;</p><p>You naughty Australian. Scapegoating migrants. Hush. Suppress your reality. Accept the transaction that has been made on your behalf. Your body (quality of life) is being traded. Someone else has made that decision. That someone else would prefer you be quiet during the process.</p><p>If we don&#8217;t be quiet. If we don&#8217;t fall for the morally corrupt journalists. If we don&#8217;t export your grandchildren&#8217;s future to people who don&#8217;t care about it. What do we find?

He tried to argue with logic and was torn apart online for doing so.</p><div id="youtube2-mVh6clpWo9U" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;mVh6clpWo9U&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/mVh6clpWo9U?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>We got our answer, didn&#8217;t we? &#8216;Above all else&#8217; How many bodies?

That is, they won&#8217;t contribute a single tax dollar, and instead, take almost half a million dollars from other taxpayers. You fund a refugee.</p></li><li><p>Prioritising family visas is making the person who gained the skilled visa a minority of total skilled migrants.

population?</p><p>Or are you propaganda? It appears the ABC chose propaganda. It was outside the Overton window to question housing and link it with a global pool of students. How many bodies, ABC? How many families? Pensioners? Working-class people can&#8217;t get a home because you chose the P&amp;L of universities instead. Shame.</p><p>While we are standing in front of such institutions, perhaps it is about time to understand whether they deserve remuneration at all, or if it has become its own club of lunatics? </p><p>We do this to put a face to the invisible. You can picture a mother with two children, standing in the scorching heat for 2 hours on a Saturday morning, hoping for a rental contract. It&#8217;s harder to visualise who is willing to increase that mother&#8217;s rent, which makes it harder to make informed decisions. Who could we use as our example in this game? Perhaps Sara? Remember the author of the government-funded studies to make men evil? What was one of her other papers? The title was:</p><p>&#8216;Che Guevara and the case for revolutionary feminism in global politics.&#8217;</p><p>Yes, Che. A self-described feminist, writing reports about how evil young Australian boys are, and prone to influence from bad actors, appears to have a love affair with a revolutionary:</p><p>&#8220;Despite this discomfort, this article will make a contemporary case for revolutionary feminism for global politics by examining synergies between Che&#8217;s philosophy of revolutionary humanism and revolutionary feminist thought.&#8221;</p><p>I&#8217;ll admit. I backpacked South America. </p><p>I had a Che hat, sticker and T-shirt. </p><p>I read Motorcycle Diaries.</p><p>I watched Benicio del Toro in his two-part &#8220;Che&#8217; film.</p><p>Then I stopped being a child and became an adult. Something you&#8217;d expect to be possible also from a feminist when you know Che:<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-37" href="#footnote-37" target="_self">37</a></p><ul><li><p>Wrote about the ugliness of his wife.</p></li><li><p>Saw homosexuals as sexual perverts.</p></li><li><p>Considered himself &#8220;todo lo contrario a un cristo,&#8221; the total opposite of Jesus.</p></li></ul><p>In his own words:</p><p>&#8220;We must state here what is a well-known truth, which we have always expressed before the world: executions, yes, we have executed; we execute and we will continue to execute.&#8221;</p><p>Surely, with a trial, right? No, of course not. There is no time for that:</p><p>&#8220;The Revolution could not stop to conduct much investigation; it has the obligation to triumph.&#8221;</p><p>Do you think Sara has been to Cuba? I have. My first impression was that it felt like living in a war zone. Turns out communism doesn&#8217;t inspire upkeep. Lunch tended to also be mystery meat.

It&#8217;s economic. It&#8217;s fate. The resident population will be replaced in a few decades by foreign residents. Because otherwise, pensioners are unfunded. While he says that with certainty, and condescending criticism of those who do not agree, he refuses to bring up the disability program that is turning Australia into a giant mental hospital.</p><p>The government, assuming progress, forgot to read history. It is said the British despised the snakes in India. To get rid of them, they paid locals for dead snakes. Smart locals began breeding snakes, killing them, and selling them for a handsome payday. Clever, right?</p><p>Today, as we mentioned, there are 350,000 people in Australia, close to the combined population of two capital cities, Darwin and Hobart, on disability support for Autism. However, only 15% of them are low functioning. Which means, based on the data, the remaining majority have an extremely high chance of not needing disability support if we took an inflammation approach. But we largely don&#8217;t.

Now by taxes or inflation. Later, by debt financed by taxes or inflation. Sadly, Milton, I guess, would have never thought possible, given it would have been considered treasonous, the New Left have a secret fourth option. Sure we have taxes, inflation and debt, but we also have a global population, i.e. &#8216;quantative peopling.&#8217;  We have not been led by such a cowardly political class in a very long time.</p><h3>Part 4: You want an ancestral review? You can have an ancestral review, but then what will you do?</h3><p>Now we arrive at the final part, let&#8217;s return to our questions:</p><ul><li><p>Will we do it again? Will we sacrifice autistic kids for ideology?</p></li><li><p>Why did it happen last time? How ill-informed were we that we thought we were making the right choice?</p></li><li><p>What is rapidly changing that prevents us from being (1) informed and (2) empowered to carry out actions in response to that data?</p></li></ul><p>A few discussion points surface, don&#8217;t they?</p><p>We see kids in distress on the frontline of political movements today. So, the answer to the first question is: We already are. </p><p>Which means we need to ask: Are we ok with that? We thought maybe gender diversity was real. It wasn&#8217;t. The nth degree was suicide. How can we stop the child sacrifice? What are we perceiving as real now that isn&#8217;t?</p><p>We are told we need to sign a contract for cultural erasure, because otherwise granny can&#8217;t keep warm or eat. That is, it&#8217;s, at least in part, an economic issue. </p><p>However, those holding the purse are spending money in record amounts, perhaps more ineffectively than ever before. Maybe we ask for an act of good faith? We ask to quarantine the tax spending before we ask to expand the number of taxpayers?</p><p>Part of that quarantine involves dissecting the fresh arrivals. </p><p>If pensioners are the problem, why are we importing more? Parental visas cost $400,000 per person.</p><p>If the budget is the problem, why are we importing more pensioner-like citizens? Humanitarian visas are at a four-decade high and also cost $400,000 per person.</p><p>Should we cancel parent and humanitarian visas? No, we have to stop discussing ideas as if they are black and white. They are not. They are always grey. It simply highlights that the mouth of the government says, &#8216;More people, at any cost! The nation&#8217;s existence depends on it!&#8217; while the hands, import people who create more of the problem we are told is existential. That&#8217;s dishonest behaviour.</p><p>But economics is rarely the preferred topic, because the New Left lose every time it&#8217;s mentioned. Facts meet feelings. So the New Left exert as much effort as possible to direct the discussion toward feelings. 95% of migrants are not humanitarian; however, we will only allow public debate on refugees. Are you good or are you evil? Did you not see the young boy on a rock?</p><p>So, we step back. We ask: How many bodies? 3 rapes a day? That&#8217;s ok for you? Because such statistics are not exclusive to a beach recently invaded:</p><ul><li><p>A rape is now reported on average every hour in London.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-44" href="#footnote-44" target="_self">44</a></p></li><li><p>Foreigners carry out 77% of solved rape cases in Paris.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-45" href="#footnote-45" target="_self">45</a></p></li><li><p>65% of public swimming pool groping offences are carried out by non-Germans in Germany, and in one city, Frankfurt, it was found that 100% of serious sexual violence was committed by foreigners.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-46" href="#footnote-46" target="_self">46</a></p></li></ul><p>Uncomfortable reading, isn&#8217;t it? Doesn&#8217;t make it less true. What will we do? This is the trajectory we are on. A graph I shared with you in the past, but this time we include the growth of non-Western, non-East Asian migrants.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!G57m!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0af54cf8-4622-4ebe-b607-32b46a93f207_1848x510.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!G57m!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0af54cf8-4622-4ebe-b607-32b46a93f207_1848x510.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!G57m!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0af54cf8-4622-4ebe-b607-32b46a93f207_1848x510.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!G57m!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0af54cf8-4622-4ebe-b607-32b46a93f207_1848x510.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!G57m!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0af54cf8-4622-4ebe-b607-32b46a93f207_1848x510.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!G57m!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0af54cf8-4622-4ebe-b607-32b46a93f207_1848x510.png" width="1456" height="402" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0af54cf8-4622-4ebe-b607-32b46a93f207_1848x510.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:402,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:305505,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.jasfield.com/i/217746114?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0af54cf8-4622-4ebe-b607-32b46a93f207_1848x510.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!G57m!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0af54cf8-4622-4ebe-b607-32b46a93f207_1848x510.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!G57m!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0af54cf8-4622-4ebe-b607-32b46a93f207_1848x510.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!G57m!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0af54cf8-4622-4ebe-b607-32b46a93f207_1848x510.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!G57m!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0af54cf8-4622-4ebe-b607-32b46a93f207_1848x510.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon-noB79L"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2 icon-noB79L"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Will you choose to live a lie?

Modi is an ultra Hindu Nationalist. A patriot for his country. Modi is idolised by our prime minister, a man who spends every waking moment attempting to squeeze out any last drop of Australian patriotism, because he prefers &#8216;New Australians&#8217; living in what he calls &#8216;Modern Australia.&#8217; He wants it so much he redirected intelligence resources toward his perceived political threat, the &#8216;far-right.&#8217; After doing so, the worldview that has killed more people in Australia via terrorism than any other, radical Islam, carried out a father/son attack on Bondi Beach. Shooting people like plastic ducks at a carnival game. Intelligence missed it. It was looking at political foes for Albo, not security threats to everyday Australians. </p><p>Our prime minister would, in any other era, be labelled a traitor. But this time is different. He has bought the media. Big business, which skims profits from ever-increasing aggregate demand, has his back. That includes the &#8216;experts&#8217; seated in high towers in Universities, doing their best to indoctrinate the permeable, and ostracise the data-backed thinkers.</p><p>This future vision, of a vassal state, includes having your history wiped. Why? Because you will be an obscure minority, and the Indian worldview doesn&#8217;t operate on tolerance (but we don&#8217;t believe in worldviews, do we?). You may just be a new untouchable in an old caste system. This will be justified with phrases such as &#8216;Migrants built Australia&#8217; that are currently being spam-posted by bot accounts with Indian flags in their bio, under every pro-Australia account. Along with: &#8216;There is no Aussie culture&#8217; and &#8216;You stole this land.&#8217; Which means the cultural erasure is also in the past. It&#8217;s not a hypothetical future. It&#8217;s happening. </p><p>It&#8217;s allowed to happen because of falsehoods. You can say, Australia has always had high immigration. But you must leave out that being mostly from the UK. That is, our worldview cousins, and for the majority, genetic cousins. This group has just been taken over by India as the largest foreign-born population after increasing by 6 times in the last 20 years, for example, in the state of New South Wales. One is programmed on the Western worldview. One is programmed on the Indian worldview. If you fast-forward, these are very different futures placed under the one &#8216;Migrants built Australia&#8217; banner.</p><p>Is that a fair representation of the future? Who knows. Time will tell if it is predictive or not, but to not make decisions today, about the future tomorrow, based on current trends is called ignorance. Maybe you want to live in India. That&#8217;s fine. You are entitled to your worldview. Today you are told to make way for the minority, but tomorrow, it may be you. Will the minority-turned-majority worldview make way for your grandchildren?</p><p>This is another phrase by the New Left that is not allowed to be quarantined. Because, for example, Africa&#8217;s demographic projections make it the majority.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!53Nj!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb7cc12bb-3767-4ae0-be31-298d53e1392d_1080x608.webp" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!53Nj!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb7cc12bb-3767-4ae0-be31-298d53e1392d_1080x608.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!53Nj!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb7cc12bb-3767-4ae0-be31-298d53e1392d_1080x608.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!53Nj!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb7cc12bb-3767-4ae0-be31-298d53e1392d_1080x608.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!53Nj!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb7cc12bb-3767-4ae0-be31-298d53e1392d_1080x608.webp 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!53Nj!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb7cc12bb-3767-4ae0-be31-298d53e1392d_1080x608.webp" width="659" height="370.9925925925926" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b7cc12bb-3767-4ae0-be31-298d53e1392d_1080x608.webp&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:608,&quot;width&quot;:1080,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:659,&quot;bytes&quot;:30736,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/webp&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.jasfield.com/i/217746114?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb7cc12bb-3767-4ae0-be31-298d53e1392d_1080x608.webp&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!53Nj!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb7cc12bb-3767-4ae0-be31-298d53e1392d_1080x608.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!53Nj!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb7cc12bb-3767-4ae0-be31-298d53e1392d_1080x608.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!53Nj!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb7cc12bb-3767-4ae0-be31-298d53e1392d_1080x608.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!53Nj!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb7cc12bb-3767-4ae0-be31-298d53e1392d_1080x608.webp 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon-noB79L"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2 icon-noB79L"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>So you have to decide. Do you deserve a culture and a country? Or is the blood and sweat spilt in the past best forgotten? Should we just assume all that was achieved was fate, and not sacrifice? With that worldview, perhaps, everyone should be here, because the same future is guaranteed to continue? Press fast-forward, and Europe is an extension of the African worldview. It wasn&#8217;t fate. It was fragile. Maybe you want to live in Africa. It&#8217;s probably best to visit it first before you make up your mind, but if it is your choice, that&#8217;s fine. You are entitled to your worldview.</p><p>Perhaps a little extra paint on the palette to help you decide. I lived with a man who worked in the German foreign office. His area of responsibility was the Sahel. The Sahel is one of the least economically developed and under-resourced regions in Africa. Parents in the Sahel, however, have some of the highest birth rates in the world. It is not uncommon for a mother to have 8, 10, or 12 kids. That is a choice. Apparently, the German Foreign Office attempts to provide tools for choices by hanging condoms on trees. Apparently, they are very underutilised.</p><p>What do we know about child investment? We can increase the chances of ADHD by manipulating grandparents&#8217; lives. We can double the chances of ADHD by removing a father. Once we get ADHD, we see a 6.5 times higher rate of violent crime. What do you assume is the rate of violent crime of someone born with 11 siblings, without a present father (polygamy is popular, such as the Warlord father of the South Sudanese refugee)? I don&#8217;t have those statistics. But to assume they are unrelated to the violent crime and sexual assault statistics in Europe is being naive. </p><p>So you have to ask yourself: Is it your job, for example, as a European, to manage the future of the world's fastest-growing demographic? That is what the media will tell you. Will you believe it? Would both the Sahel and Europe be more stable if the Sahel received more investment in contraception? Education for adults on the different life outcomes after levels of parental investment? Sure, it won&#8217;t be easy. Western parents have been told for 70 years the exact opposite. That children raise themselves, and it is a direct contributory factor in the rise of ADHD today, but it's possible. We are all blobs of human DNA soup from the same species. Only worldview separates us. We simply have to believe (1) they exist, (2) enable free discussion about which brings the best outcomes, and (3) accept the personal responsibility it takes to move in that chosen direction. Again, we have done the exact opposite in the West, telling children the only solution to their distress is &#8216;rights,&#8217; which is exporting one&#8217;s emotional homeostasis to strangers we can not control, and that is why we are devolving.</p><p>Interesting times, isn&#8217;t it?</p><p>Some of that commentary, particularly around Albo, may come across as editorial.

Are we debating what is ecologically sustainable? Oh, I forgot. Climate change is no longer trending because big business needs data centres (see how easily we can be made into useful idiots?).</p><p>From that baseline, surely we can comprehend that a nation has a right to decide who comes through the front door. As we just highlighted, demographics is destiny, particularly if you believe in democracy. </p><p>So what kind of demographic future does Albo favour? Let&#8217;s see it from what he doesn&#8217;t like. In one of the most spiteful actions I have seen a leader carry out, a tantrum of a toddler, he met the reality of migration being a top 3 issue, and the most popular party being the pro-Australia party, by cutting backpackers. </p><p>Yes, the demographic most likely to be European. He looked at the numbers, saw most rural regions sided with the One Nation party advocating for lower migration, and said: Here, have your lower migration. Why is that spiteful? Because rural regions rely on European backpackers&#8217; visa requirements to work 3 months in the outback, to be rewarded with a visa extension. Instead of that work being a near guarantee of a visa extension, now it&#8217;s a lottery. You have a 1-in-6 chance. According to some travel operators, work-and-travel visa holders have already left. The very hard work, in very hard conditions, isn&#8217;t worth the low probability.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-47" href="#footnote-47" target="_self">47</a></p><p>What does that tell you? It tells you I lied before. I said migrants are an easy win for the New Left. That&#8217;s not true. Non-Western migrants are the easy win for the New Left. People born in the UK, New Zealand, South Africa and Italy are some of the biggest supporters of One Nation.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-48" href="#footnote-48" target="_self">48</a> Albo doesn&#8217;t want them. They may be more likely to fund his juicy pension, but they threaten his authoritarian communist vision, which nobody else wants. Chairman Albo would rather reduce that threat.</p><p>Who is not a threat? People from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka. They are least likely to vote for One Nation, and most likely to vote for him. Importantly, and this trend tends to hold across the West, this support is extremely predictable.</p><p>Sure, South Africans, after leaving the disaster that is modern South Africa, are the most likely to vote for One Nation, but it is still only 1 in 3 of them. People from Nepal, Pakistan and India are closer to 1 in 2, in favour of Albo. That, my friend, is a voting bloc. When you become a voting bloc, politicians, even if they scream &#8216;budget disaster,&#8217; always turn on the taps of &#8216;community grants.&#8217;</p><p>Previously, this may have been an upgrade to a school.

showing historically elevated sway over the community, are showered with multicultural grants. This means every Muslim in Australia receives about $100 a year, only from this multicultural program, about double Sikhs and Hindus, and 14 times Christians and Buddhists. Sorry, no prize for you. You are known for advocating personal responsibility and individual freedoms (Remember Pope John Paul II helped bring down communism). You are less likely to cheer for top-down control. </p><p>But hang on, isn&#8217;t this for integration? Maybe, because of non-Western worldviews, the government is setting up community facilities to help social cohesion? Sadly, it&#8217;s the opposite. Your neighbour, the bricklayer, has 5 months of his annual wage appropriated by the government, in the form of tax, and some of that will be diverted so people do not integrate. Yes, focus on anything else other than the language of the country you have moved to. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Orv6!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4ca9de7c-d092-461e-831a-e74f7c6c697a_1074x504.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Orv6!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4ca9de7c-d092-461e-831a-e74f7c6c697a_1074x504.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Orv6!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4ca9de7c-d092-461e-831a-e74f7c6c697a_1074x504.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Orv6!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4ca9de7c-d092-461e-831a-e74f7c6c697a_1074x504.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Orv6!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4ca9de7c-d092-461e-831a-e74f7c6c697a_1074x504.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Orv6!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4ca9de7c-d092-461e-831a-e74f7c6c697a_1074x504.png" width="1074" height="504" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4ca9de7c-d092-461e-831a-e74f7c6c697a_1074x504.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:504,&quot;width&quot;:1074,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:96907,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.jasfield.com/i/217746114?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4ca9de7c-d092-461e-831a-e74f7c6c697a_1074x504.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Orv6!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4ca9de7c-d092-461e-831a-e74f7c6c697a_1074x504.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Orv6!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4ca9de7c-d092-461e-831a-e74f7c6c697a_1074x504.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Orv6!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4ca9de7c-d092-461e-831a-e74f7c6c697a_1074x504.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Orv6!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4ca9de7c-d092-461e-831a-e74f7c6c697a_1074x504.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon-noB79L"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2 icon-noB79L"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>It sounds like satire.

Well, now you understand why he wants control over your social media, don&#8217;t you? When people notice that every third person is someone they do not share a life story with.

People will probably have a few words for those vested with power who have forgotten how democracy works.</p><p>Until Albo holds the social media censorship lever, he must divide and conquer. The oldest trick in the book. A trick being carried out across the globe. It's easiest to see with making the sacred non-sacred, and non-sacred, sacred. Flags.</p><p>Go to Turkey, and you&#8217;ll find flags everywhere. Indonesia, the same. Peru, the same. However, the New Left has taken aim at Western flags. How do we remove these sacred symbols acting as social glue? Easy:</p><ol><li><p>We dilute them by placing more flags next to them. We haven&#8217;t removed them, you can&#8217;t be upset, we are just being inclusive.</p></li><li><p>Once that happens, the flag is tradable. One or all could mean a shared identity.</p></li><li><p>Once a flag has been diluted, made tradable, we may even redesign a new one because, evidently, we have too many flags.</p></li></ol><p>History is erased in three steps. For Australia, this went:</p><ol><li><p>Adding the Aboriginal flag and the Torres Strait Islander Flags. That&#8217;s 3 flags in total.</p></li><li><p>The leader of the Greens refused to stand in front of the Australian flag, removing it from behind him at a press conference. However, the LGBTQIA+ and Palestinian flags have been placed in schools and public buildings around the country.</p></li><li><p>Perhaps the original flag is now not inclusive enough to capture all the new flags, and its existence has turned from love, for every member of a nation, to hate, because if it captured the other flags, the other flags wouldn&#8217;t have been needed (which is why you don&#8217;t add flags to begin with). A proposal by an influential Labor Party partner in 2026 was to change the flag.</p></li></ol><p>If you wonder what this feels like in everyday life, I introduce you to a young renter who was told by her landlord to take the Australian flag off her window so that the house wouldn&#8217;t be a &#8216;target&#8217; (threatened with a rent increase if she didn&#8217;t). Yes, the nation&#8217;s flag, inside the nation, has been turned into a bullseye. She responded:</p><p>&#8220;All I could think in the back of my head was &#8216;I could almost guarantee, if that was a rainbow flag for Pride Month or if it was a Palestine flag, there is no way we&#8217;d be asked to take it down, and there is no way that she would be getting up there herself to take it down&#8217;.</p><p>So you have a choice:</p><p>(1) You can be born in any country you want. You simply have to pledge allegiance to the flag of the country you have chosen to live in, Australia. Bam. You are in-grouped. Demonstrations are held in support (love) of what that flag represents. Such as the &#8216;March for Australia.&#8217; Again, only a decade ago, it would have been cheered as a sign of social cohesion. The news reports it, as they do around the globe for similar marches, as &#8216;far-right.&#8217;</p><div id="youtube2-ZLtM33T8ptA" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;ZLtM33T8ptA&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/ZLtM33T8ptA?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>(2) You pick up a different flag. You tribalise. You are trans. You are gay. Or you are an ally of trans and gay people. Just as you might be an ally of Aboriginal people. Notice the Greens politician, the one who did the speech on &#8216;diversion&#8217; standing in front of the Aboriginal flag. You in-group via outrage or allyship. That is, you feel part of something when you and another person are angry. Or, you, standing on the outside looking in, have a favourable view of non-heterosexual activities (where max in-grouping is canned applause).</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

of the Australian flag. But it is important to be aware of how you can split further, should you wish to. This reveals where civilisation came from: the laying down of tribal feuds. In there is ancient English and Irish hatred. My dad has stories of fights even when he was a kid between Catholics and Protestants. There is Greek and Turkish. Croats and Serbs. There are also Germans, Vietnamese and Lebanese.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-51" href="#footnote-51" target="_self">51</a> </p><p>The last group has increasing support after Pauline Hanson, the leader of One Nation, secured the visa for a child deemed to have an inoperable brain tumour in Lebanon, but Australian surgeons believed they could help. Yes, that&#8217;s who schoolchildren are being told to go to hell. The Australian flag sits above it. We won&#8217;t fight. In fact, we marry and have kids. The way humans have historically always de-tribed.</p><p>Mbappe&#8217;s display recently shows what happens when you don&#8217;t choose one flag. You choose your clan.

The support for doing so, of course, comes from people who decided Britain would be a better place to spend the rest of their lives compared to their home country, but when a political party offers the choice not to integrate, it takes it with both hands. That&#8217;s the path of least resistance. Civilisation means giving up something to gain something greater.

Left&#8217;s belief system, because the social glue is outrage, also requires the &#8216;them&#8217; to be erased. If the New Left bonded over love, there wouldn&#8217;t need to be erasure of another. But the New Left doesn&#8217;t bond over love. It is sustained by hate. Hate has to be directed somewhere; otherwise, the DEI hires, a clever trick to maintain power past a political cycle, would have nothing to do all day. So while your country is being colonised, you set about &#8216;decolonising the curriculum.&#8217; Yes, &#8216;Vikings&#8217; are allowed to keep their name, but &#8216;Anglo-Saxon&#8217; must be swapped for a time period instead: &#8216;Medieval English Studies.&#8217;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-52" href="#footnote-52" target="_self">52</a></p><p>Are you keeping up?</p><p>The West belongs to everyone.</p><p>There is no European culture.</p><p>There are no Europeans.</p><p>Just a timeline that will be forgotten once those who remember are dead.</p><p>Just the UK, no, don&#8217;t be silly. What do you think happens at those pow-wow&#8217;s Ursula von der Leyen and Albo smile so wide about?

You know so, because you speak German. You pay taxes to a German government. Yet, if you are a tour guide with a German Flag. Sorry, my friend, that&#8217;s too German. See the far-right radicals with hunched backs and grey hair? That sort of &#8216;threat detection&#8217; only shows itself from the top down. From those who believe your country is better off not existing. Those people include Ursula von der Leyen, who wants to be your unelected empress. You can choose not to see that. The accumulation of our choices will decide our grandchildren's future.</p><p>Again, we arrive at a point where too many people, with too much logic, may have something to say. Should they say it out loud, and people agree, that is dangerous to the New Left. Which is why the New Left need hired muscle. Muscle at a distance it cannot be connected to, but muscle that carries out its dirty work with immunity nevertheless.</p><p>Who is that muscle? Stand Up To Racism.</p><p>Here&#8217;s a voice: Young Bob.</p><p>You may not like everything he says. You do have a choice whether you want to live in a society where we have a right to say what others may not agree with. Again, because of the violence carried out against him, the video is age-restricted. Funny that. The content that shows the world under the New Left is too violent for those under 18.

If you have never heard of Young Bob, he is the UK&#8217;s Charlie Kirk. He visits university towns, sets up a stand, writes a statement on a sign, and asks people to debate it. A frequent sign is: Remigration. </p><p>What are some of his reasons? Violence. Are the UK and Europe really more violent? How many statistics do we have to show for that to be believed?

Instead, we pretend this far-right granny is about to carry out another Kristallnacht, this time against disabled people and women. Of course, what everyone is there for actually, though, will never admit, is the endorphins released after a bit of call-and-response chanting. We just need to write them down next time. It's easy to forget who the people are we are angry at.</p><p>After remembering the call-and-response, feeling that self-other blur, not from love, but from hate, what do we do?

Maybe it helps to ask a group who find them not extreme enough: the actual communists.</p><p>&#8220;Stand Up To Racism (SUTR) &#8211; a front group for the Socialist Workers Party &#8211; is the self-appointed leader of anti-racism in Britain. In reality it is a liberal, opportunist organisation providing cover for the racist Labour Party.&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-53" href="#footnote-53" target="_self">53</a></p><p>Thursday thought or reality? Well, if the Labour Party speaks at a SUTR meeting, security will make sure you listen. So it appears to be reality:</p><p>&#8220;One of the official speakers was Labour Party councillor Rebecca Shatwell of Wingrove Ward, although she did not care to mention her political allegiance, and nor did the rally compere. However, the FRFI supporter knew who she was, and began to point out the racist character and record of the Labour Party. This prompted several SUTR stewards to rush over and attempt to steal the megaphone from him. In short order, Simon Hall of the SWP poured a bottle of water over the supporter and his megaphone, four stewards assaulted him and tried to drag him away from the rally, and Liam Tuckwood (also SWP), repeatedly tried to seize the FRFI megaphone.&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-54" href="#footnote-54" target="_self">54</a></p><p>How does the Labour Party keep their distance, though?

The counter-protest talks about refugees, but wants communism. The protest wants secure borders and street safety, but will be called far-right racist nazis. Should the communists come to power, don&#8217;t say I didn&#8217;t warn you. Because while they say we accept everyone, they absolutely do not. They barely accept themselves. </p><p>Their glue is hate, and they, more than most, define that hatred by what you look like. Yes, though they may scream racist, they have devolved so far; they are the most prominent user of skin colour to separate and divide. Separate by worldviews? No. Then it may dissolve. Separate by melanin? Sure, let&#8217;s head to the streets and disturb the peace.</p><p>People in the West will likely have studied times when this was widespread. People in the West are now feeling its return, brought about by the New Left. However, if you have travelled, you&#8217;d be well aware that division by skin colour is the norm almost everywhere. It won&#8217;t be spoken of, because then you have to admit that Western Civilisation is just about the most indiscriminatory worldview to have ever existed, which means you don&#8217;t have an enemy. </p><p>One of the most comedic times I was confronted directly with this was by a Brazilian. I was told that I caused the financial crisis. I couldn&#8217;t believe my ears. The reason for it was my eyes. I have blue eyes. Brazilians were apparently told that the financial crisis was due to people like me. Honestly, I didn&#8217;t really believe it. Then years later I came across this headline and couldn&#8217;t stop laughing. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

You are no longer a musician. I am going to slice you up by where you were born, what gender you are, and &#8216;other factors.&#8217; I would like to leave some optionality if I have a random thought of any more ways to make you not a talented musician of our species. </p><p>That being the level of insanity we are now readily capable of. Let&#8217;s do it. Let&#8217;s go ahead. It&#8217;s being asked for. It&#8217;s being carried out. We walk into classrooms, and instead of telling all children they are of the same species, and that we have many tools to help them feel like they are all the same, we carry out narrow ancestral reviews and hand them conflicts to carry out. You shall hate that person. That person owes you something. You owe that person something. We sacrifice children for ideology. We are capable of such great evil.</p><p>So let&#8217;s do it. Let&#8217;s carry out an ancestral review. Currently, children in Australia are told they are the product of genocidal maniacs. They are asked to write sorry cards, and strangely, the guilt is most impressed upon those who arrived between 1788 and World War I. Why? Because Anglo-Celtic people are the dominant demographic in Australia. Dominant demographics scare the New Left. They must be dismantled and encouraged to fight eachother, particularly integenerationally, we want the youth to hate their ancestors, that way, they receive their instructions from the state, not their parents. Because the latter, of course, is &#8216;Adult Supremacy.&#8217;</p><p>Anyway, here is John Fitzpatrick. He is my 5 x great grandfather. He was a labourer in Dublin. He stole a watch. They sent him to Tasmania for 7 years, without a return ticket. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

He didn&#8217;t shoot anyone. They used him as labour to build a civilisation. He fell in love. He had children. Those children had children. One daughter became a Nun, travelled to New South Wales, helping disadvantaged children. Another daughter married a boy who worked on the boats. They had a couple of sons. Both went to war. Again, that&#8217;s it. 1788-World War. Prison labour, teachers, sailors, soldiers. Yet, their many descendants will be told to say sorry. Sorry for being sent to the other side of the world in iron chains. Sorry for building what Darwin described as:</p><p>&#8220;&#8230;as a means of making men outwardly honest, -- of converting vagabonds, most useless in one hemisphere, into active citizens of another, and thus giving birth to a new and splendid country -- a grand centre of civilization -- it has succeeded to a degree perhaps unparalleled in history.&#8221; </p><p>We have to wake up to the grey. Can you understand the violent dispossession of land of one people, whilst also not looking at anyone who may look like those who carried that out, as a perpetrator? If not, why not? For the 50 years of the Colony, 80% of people were prisoners. Telling a young child their ancestors committed a crime, by looking like a perpetrator and being alive at the same time, means all Europeans deserve an apology for the Black Plague that came from Kyrgyzstan via the Silk Road. You killed my ancestors. Write me a sorry card.</p><p>But that is looking at humanity from a wide lens, not a narrow lens, and narrow lenses are what the New Left love, because that is where social battles are fought. Within that narrow lens is a hierarchy. A look-alike perpetrator at the bottom, and at the top a noble savage. Undisturbed by the evil Westerner, the only curse that prevents a Human&#8217;s highest expression. Entirely false, of course.</p><p>If the topic interests you, you can share it with researchers who documented the ways of the Indigenous people of Australia.</p><div id="youtube2-ZNIPXa5USZE" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;ZNIPXa5USZE&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/ZNIPXa5USZE?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><div id="youtube2-Z9HEV9dnHgc" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;Z9HEV9dnHgc&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Z9HEV9dnHgc?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Pretty clever people, right?

It can even be cherry-picked. Actually, it will be compulsory, and exclusively for the best parts. Those will be useful. Because actually, not everyone is allowed a history. If you are white. You don&#8217;t get your own history. Your history will be a byline to another culture&#8217;s history, and the parts we cherry-pick will be the bad moments, because then it justifies the byline, and it produces the social glue for everyone but you.</p><p>This, my friends, is psychological abuse. This, my friends, is cultural genocide. Sadly, for perhaps the first time in human history, this re-writing in favour of the out-group is being carried out by in-group members. So mentally, intellectually, and spiritually disturbed, they trade their history for feelings of validation. Anything to feel seen and heard, in order to be held. That is what not feeling safe inside your body does to you. That is what insecure attachment does to you. You burn down the village of your family as a sign of loyalty to your neighbour&#8217;s village you would like to try to belong to. A survival response, but still cultural genocide.</p><p>In the face of such, all we are left with is truth. Because when you place lies next to it, the lies become less appealing. So hold on, it&#8217;s going to be a rough ride.</p><p>&#8220;Cranial depression fractures are somewhat enigmatic. They occur elsewhere in the world, but nothing like what is seen in Aboriginal Australia.&#8221;</p><p>What does that mean? Let&#8217;s define it:</p><p>&#8220;Depressed skull fractures result in the bone of the skull vault being folded (depressed) inward into the cerebral parenchyma. It is usually the result of a high energy impact to the skull.&#8221;</p><p>Basically, you&#8217;ve been hit in the head, and this is associated with interpersonal violence in post-mortem studies.</p><p>How often was this found in Aboriginal burial sites in Australia? 10,000 years ago, one out of every ten men, and two out of every ten women. 2,000 years ago? About two out of every ten men, and two out of every ten women. Why are female statistics static? There appears to be significant and consistent intra-tribal violence against women. Why are men changing? Because inter-tribal conflict likely rose.</p><p>What happened between those two dates? One notable change was the arrival of a group of indigenous Australians about 5,000 years ago on the northern edges of Australia. That&#8217;s at least 35,000 years after the first evidence of indigenous habitation in the far southern extent of Australia, Tasmania. Yet the language of these new arrivals would end up representing 90% of the continent.</p><p>Which tells us what? There was a colonisation. Could it have been people from modern-day Papua New Guinea? Was it because of migration coming into their lands from their Asian neighbours? The event that gave us the modern nation of Indonesia? We know that people from the highlands of Papua New Guinea show much less genetic crossover with Asian migrant populations, but lowland populations show upwards of 62%. In northern Australian Indigenous populations? Approximately 10%. Low, but contact was made.</p><p>Does conflict in one place produce conflict in another place across history? Sure: </p><p>&#8220;In 1835 two M&#257;ori groups, Ng&#257;ti Tama and Ng&#257;ti Mutunga, invaded the Chatham Islands. They had left northern Taranaki due to warfare, and were seeking somewhere else to live. Moriori decided to greet them peacefully, but the M&#257;ori killed more than 200 Moriori and enslaved the rest.&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-61" href="#footnote-61" target="_self">61</a></p><p>Yes, the Moriori had established a strict law of pacifism. Though the new entrants were a &#8216;minority,&#8217; this pacifism led to their genocide:</p><p>&#8220;Although youths argued in favour of armed resistance as they outnumbered the invaders, elders ruled that Nunuku&#8217;s Law could not be broken as it was a covenant with their gods. The Moriori population were conquered, enslaved, and eaten by the invaders. Their population was almost completely exterminated as a result.&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-62" href="#footnote-62" target="_self">62</a></p><p>History has a few gems for us, doesn&#8217;t it? Now, we have brought up the M&#257;ori who carried out the genocide, it&#8217;s useful to remember they arrived in New Zealand approximately 700 years ago.</p><p>This has presented us with an unexpected choice. We either believe:</p><ul><li><p>The modern nations of both Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia exist. Or,</p></li><li><p>Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia do not exist, but neither does a post-5,000-year-old indigenous Australia.</p></li></ul><p>It&#8217;s one of those numbers games, isn&#8217;t it?</p><p>The M&#257;ori are unquestionable indigenous people with a 1300s arrival. A warrior culture found a home.</p><p>The Anglo-Celtic are currently being culturally erased and demographically replaced, with a 1700s arrival. A prisoner culture was forced to build a home.</p><p>Is that our line? Did history stop in the 1300s?</p><p>As we ponder that, let&#8217;s examine more of the circumstances that young children today are apologising for interrupting. So far, we have high rates of violence against women. Anything else that may be dropped away with the advent of civilisation? A few pretty surprising customs:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;The attitude of the black gin towards her child is incomprehensible.<br>Frequently she does not seem to care particularly whether she keeps her baby or not, and will quite coolly discuss the matter with a white man. &#8216;Might be me kill &#8216;em; piccaninny no good.&#8217;&#8221;</p></li><li><p>&#8220;The natives do not regard infanticide as a moral offence or a violation of law, but simply as a matter of convenience, regulated by the circumstances of each case. These included the difficulty of suckling and carrying more than one child at a time.&#8221;</p></li><li><p>&#8220;Ritual cannibalism is practised also among the Dieri and adjacent tribes. &#8216;An old man follows the corpse into the grave, cuts off all the fatty parts of the face, thighs, arms and stomach, and passes it up to close relatives, who swallow pieces of it.&#8217; There are special rules relating to who eats the flesh of whom.&#8221;</p></li><li><p>&#8220;The custom of eating children generally took two forms. When the Yumu, Pindupi, Ngali, or Nambutji were hungry, they ate small children with neither ceremonial nor animistic motives. Among the southern tribes, the Matuntara, Mularatara, or Pitjentara, every second child was eaten in the belief that the strength of the first child would be doubled by such a procedure.&#8221;</p></li></ul><p>So we add: Killing children and eating them. Is that happening today? No. May it have stopped itself? Possibly. Everyone can change their worldview. Did it stop because of the arrival of Europeans? Yes. Same as violence against women. While still disturbingly high in Aboriginal communities, it is likely significantly less than it once appears to have been.</p><p>To those without an interest in history or travel, this all may sound impossible. That&#8217;s what happens when we refuse to admit we have a worldview, and believe humanity is fate. If you are from Australia, you know we still see cases pop up today in Papua New Guinea of cannibalism. But our past includes much worse than that. Here is what was happening in Nigeria:<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-63" href="#footnote-63" target="_self">63</a></p><div

Pits of human sacrifice only stopped after the British arrived in 1897.</p><p>So that&#8217;s human sacrifice in Nigeria. Eating your children in Australia. Can we add one more for a trifecta? Sure, what about Sati in India?</p><p>This involved the practice of throwing the living widow of a deceased husband into the flames of his cremation. It stunned the British, who gave the locals a choice:</p><p>&#8220;The burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation also has a custom. When men burn women alive, we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us act according to our national customs.&#8221;</p><p>When was this? 1843. Did the practice continue? No.</p><p>To really hammer this home for the uninitiated in humanity's lowest expression, a more recent example from Mozambique in 2017:</p><p>&#8220;Two suspects have been arrested in the central district of Milange, where the killings occurred. &#8216;The belief is that the head of a bald man contains gold,&#8217; said Afonso Dias, a police commander in Mozambique&#8217;s central Zambezia province. Albino people have also been killed in the region for ritual purposes. Three men have been killed in the past week alone. The BBC&#8217;s Jose Tembe in the capital, Maputo, says police think the notion of a bald head containing gold is a ruse by witch doctors to get clients to take a person&#8217;s head to them. &#8216;Their motive comes from superstition and culture - the local community thinks bald individuals are rich,&#8217; Commander Dias is reported as having told a press conference in Maputo.&#8221;</p><p>It&#8217;s completely up to you what worldview you hold.</p><p>You can bury your head in the sand. Pretend people were not killing bald men in Mozambique in 2017. Pretend wives were not burnt alive in 1843 in India. Pretend humans were not sacrificed for a King&#8217;s pleasure in 1897 in Nigeria. Pretend children were not killed and eaten by their family up to the 1930&#8217;s by Aboriginal Australians.</p><p>It might be useful to simply quarantine such tendencies with the reality that life will subsequently shock us, at each moment humanity exposes its lowest expression, and our fellow humans we think we are showing love toward, by hiding the truth, is an act of hate, because it deprives everybody of the knowledge of what the human condition can actually be. When we understand evil, we can orient toward good. All of us. Together. When we pretend good is default, and practice Nunuku&#8217;s Law, we (you or your grandchildren) will be metaphorically eaten, because there will always be someone willing to take a step lower, in order to advance themselves. </p><p>The only antidote to that fate is convincing enough people that love is their highest expression, and fundamentally understanding that from a physiological perspective. Not ideological. We learn how to dissolve the illusion that we are separate, and come to the unavoidable conclusion that comes from taking our bodies to safety. Should some people not sign up for the conditions of civilisation, there is little choice but to deprive them of its fruits. You ring-fence civilisation, or you lose civilisation. The choice is surprisingly simple.</p><p>Based on the evidence, we are currently choosing the latter. This is clear in UK politician David Lammy. Reparations. Yes. While Rome is in flames outside the halls of power, we talk about dividing each other by what we look like and reallocating financial resources based on perceived past deeds.</p><div id="youtube2-nAjrjLLAeMM" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;nAjrjLLAeMM&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/nAjrjLLAeMM?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Even once we show the brutality of the human expression around the globe, this one has a surprising level of support given the universal acknowledgement, rightly, that slavery was a horrendous decision. However, as always, it simply creates another request, should we start tallying up the bill.</p><p>Europeans now need to pester Kyrgyzstan for apologies for the plague.</p><p>Europeans now need to pester the modern nations of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, which comprised the Barbary Coast.</p><p>Where does this come in? Well, why did Christian monks raise money in Europe and travel to North Africa? For gold? For wine? No, to buy back European Christians who had been taken as slaves.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DkbY!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc5812f5-80cc-4d90-b18c-3100251921d2_1154x834.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DkbY!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc5812f5-80cc-4d90-b18c-3100251921d2_1154x834.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DkbY!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc5812f5-80cc-4d90-b18c-3100251921d2_1154x834.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DkbY!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc5812f5-80cc-4d90-b18c-3100251921d2_1154x834.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DkbY!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc5812f5-80cc-4d90-b18c-3100251921d2_1154x834.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DkbY!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc5812f5-80cc-4d90-b18c-3100251921d2_1154x834.png" width="1154" height="834" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bc5812f5-80cc-4d90-b18c-3100251921d2_1154x834.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:834,&quot;width&quot;:1154,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:1271127,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.jasfield.com/i/217746114?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc5812f5-80cc-4d90-b18c-3100251921d2_1154x834.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DkbY!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc5812f5-80cc-4d90-b18c-3100251921d2_1154x834.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DkbY!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc5812f5-80cc-4d90-b18c-3100251921d2_1154x834.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DkbY!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc5812f5-80cc-4d90-b18c-3100251921d2_1154x834.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DkbY!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc5812f5-80cc-4d90-b18c-3100251921d2_1154x834.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon-noB79L"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2 icon-noB79L"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Shock.

the large vessels of the British Anti-Slave Trading squadron could not approach. Frustrated in 1852 by the success of the British using their own money and men, on moral grounds, to stop slavery in Africa, she teamed up with another African businesswoman, Mary Faber. Mary Faber was having success because she pretended slaves were local labourers:</p><p>&#8220;The decade of the 1820s, however, was a difficult but profitable period for Mary Faber at Sangha. The royal Anti-Slave Trade Squadron focused surveillance on the river and raided factories in the upper river several times searching for slaves available for shipments to the Americas&#8230; Separating market slaves from locally used laborers became increasingly difficult for squadron captains after 1826, because slavers, including the Fabers, began to construct coffee plantations which conveniently served as concealment for continued slaving.&#8221;</p><p>What? An African, and an African woman at that, was carrying out slavery? But how does that calculate for our reparations bill? Makes it increasingly difficult, doesn&#8217;t it? That&#8217;s why it is kept out of the epic good-versus-evil battles. Necessary, because it wasn&#8217;t a one-off. </p><p>Meet Efunporoye Osuntinubu Olumosa.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

number] than sell them at a discount.&#8221; Possible, because she was one of the biggest slavetraders in the business. Why did she fall from grace? The British:</p><p>&#8220;Tinubu fell from power in Lagos when she challenged British Consul Benjamin Campbell who railed against her economic hegemony and secret slave trading with Europeans and Brazilians. Tinubu in turn publicly castigated Campbell for his infringement on royal authority and sovereignty in Lagos. She organized a plot to remove Consul Campbell but before it could be implemented, Campbell confronted her with British gunboats in May of 1856 and demanded her exile from Lagos. In the face of superior British military power, Tinubu was forced back to Abeokuta. She nonetheless remained a major trader in the interior of Nigeria until her death in 1887</p><p>Another fork in the road, no?</p><p>European men = bad is the script.</p><p>But here we find European men trying to free African slaves from African women.</p><p>We either teach children that they are all humans of the same species, capable of evil, capable of good, and teach them how to do good, or we, with our thick glasses of ignorance perched atop our noses, are complicit in human suffering. All likely, because we are insecurely attached and longing to be valued for a fabricated display on the stage of the New Left.</p><p>What is a recent example of that? Welcome to Country in Australia.

headlines. We are faced with a headline. We remember journalistic integrity. It requires cognitive effort to remind ourselves that era is over. When we look, as we did with the feminist authors of activist research, at a person&#8217;s worldview, we can decide whether we would trust them with our grandchildren&#8217;s future.</p><p>Upset over anti-immigrant protests, instead of recognising symptom, and looking for cause, Maurice penned a piece, as the New left do, re-writing the past, and misunderstanding the present. </p><p>Ireland was always multicultural, he suggests, because a historian believed that there may have been up to 28,000 foreigners in the country who, in the 19th century, while small in number, had a &#8216;potentially&#8217; immense cultural impact. Why potential? If it was there, wouldn't it be seen? This was enough evidence, according to Maurice and The Guardian, to show there was no right to protest to protect a people's rights.</p><p>How can random people, just by being in a location, dislodge others from their right to it? That makes the UAE&#8217;s claim to Dubai pretty shaky, considering 100m passengers pass through each year. If Maurice is upset by phrases such as &#8220;Ireland belongs to the Irish,&#8221; will he be flying to New Zealand to tell the M&#257;ori the news? They have no homeland? The Indonesians?</p><p>Of course he won&#8217;t. The New Left only give away Western countries during conversations about Europeans. Because they are the enemy, and 28,000 foreigners is used interchangeably with modern-day arrivals, despite the author's source speaking about British and Americans there.</p><p>Will he tell the recent protestors to his north that they also have no right to air grievance over a Sudanese man attempting to hack off the head of a citizen, and then requiring an Arabic translator in court?<a

But civilized man is fundamentally an heir, he receives a history, a culture, a language, a name, a family. This is what distinguishes him from the barbarian. To refuse to be inscribed within a network of dependence, heritage, and filiation condemns us to go back naked into the jungle of a competitive economy left to its own devices. Because he refuses to acknowledge himself as an heir, man is condemned to the hell of liberal globalization in which individual interests confront one another without any law to govern them besides profit at any price.&#8221;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Because we make up new words when we are wordless for the situation. We are wordless for the situation because we don&#8217;t understand it. We don&#8217;t understand it because our operating software expects it not to happen. Once we admit it is predictable, based on worldviews, we can start to update the software. Collectively. If we refuse to admit that not all worldviews taste amazing in the cocktail of diversity we are designing, we will keep making up new words, complicit in stacking the bodies we are willing to trade for not accepting truth.</p><p>Such denial has contagion effects. It divides those willing to see facts from those who prefer to stack bodies to preserve ideas. To preserve ideas, we make enemies of those showing us the truth, like the one we started with: men are bad. This week&#8217;s Der Spiegel puts it in front of you when you pick up your groceries. Don&#8217;t be a bad girl. The threat is men. Stay in the dream. You are morally mobile. We know that.

Albo will despise you for your love of something bigger than you, the country your ancestors bled for, while kissing the ring of foreign ultra nationalists. The UK will allow child molesters to walk free and lock up men trying to stop the invasion. Border security is one of the duties a nation-state pledges to uphold under the conditions for exporting the monopoly of violence to the state. If everyday people do not come to terms with the Western trend, and leaders' lust to rule over rather than rule for, our grandchildren will have to fight in the hope of regaining what we took for granted. They will curse us for that if we let it happen.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

How quickly time flies. That being the case, let&#8217;s get straight into it. <span>Here&#8217;s the most-shared media from the past week, excerpts from programs 1 and 2 in the </span><a href="https://www.jasfield.com/p/somatic-academy">Somatic Academy</a><span>:</span></p><ol><li><p>The biggest hit was cortisol levels in mum&#8217;s breast milk predicting fear responses of 2-month-old infants. This is actually an excerpt from program 3, which is likely going to be either extremely liberating or extremely offensive. It will depend on our software installation. Paper after paper will reveal that we are simply a mirror unto our parents, as they were to their parents, and the generational chain keeps going all the way until we are standing in front of a monkey, which is why we remind ourselves: It&#8217;s not a blame game. If we try that, we will be decked by a monkey, because it's physically stronger than us, no matter the intellectual arguments we may hold. What we are trying to understand is the human condition, specifically relating to ADHD and autism, and those conditions are strongly correlated with adverse early life experiences. We look and say, well, if I have the diagnosis, that may mean that my parents weren&#8217;t able to provide the necessary investment in my human manufacturing, even if they did their best. That is human history. The difference today is we have decided on refusing to adopt ourselves, and instead blaming any random person, and being entirely unhinged until we bring about changes in their behaviour for momentary homeostasis (despite our underdevelopment). This, of course, is why we are devolving. We can look at it from brain sizes. Exam grades. Aggressiveness. It&#8217;s all basically the same. The frontal regions that developed last and are a product of safety are atrophying. It doesn&#8217;t have to be like that. However, it won&#8217;t change until we reorient our highest expression to the next generation. Fairness viewed intergenerationally. All generations to come. Not to celebrate a few today who will be dead in half a century, that we&#8217;ve sliced up for some subjective pretty picture that signals our apparent virtue. </p><div

In trauma, cortisol tends to be blunted in the morning, and elevated at night. The same pattern occurs when we ask adults whether they report high or low levels of parental care as a child. With high levels, there is an energy boost in the morning and a clearance that provides room for melatonin at night. With low levels, there is morning fatigue and evening rumination and insomnia. ADHD and autism look like trauma and low parental care, as they always do. We aren&#8217;t surprised at this because the easiest way to make ADHD and autism is simply to pop a child in an orphanage, and the absence of care does all the work for us. As a species, we have a few decisions to make. Will we decide that the highest exemplar of human pair-bonding is non-heterosexual relationships? Place a flag in classrooms? Pat ourselves on the back for another virtue signal? Or will we wake up and recognise that a significant portion of the software operating in Western societies tells young girls their highest expression is as a widget maker in a corner office, and their biggest threat is a male. While a male&#8217;s highest expression is female 2.0, anything else is apparently transactional to female empowerment. All the while, men and women fail to understand they are designed fundamentally differently for the sole purpose of handing over sex specific skillsets to the next generation. Dad&#8217;s challenging parenting heavily shapes top-down development, in deficit in ADHD. Mum&#8217;s affectionate care shapes bottom-up development, in deficit in both ADHD but particularly autism.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

Wisdom doesn't seem to present itself during survival responses. Which is what we are in if we have a diagnosis of ADHD and autism. It doesn&#8217;t mean we can&#8217;t have good ideas. It means we are more prone to having bad ideas, because we are far more likely to be in a state of distress, and in that state project our inner disturbance to the world, as our body desires real (or imagined) feelings of being seen, heard and held.</p><p>But why does that manifest as social issues and not just road rage? Again, our modern world. The movie being played before our eyes is not a nature documentary. It&#8217;s not the top 10 greatest human achievements of the day. It could be. That&#8217;s up to us. But it tends not to be. Conversation, media and our streets are filled with human folly, and closer to the top 10 most destructive moments of the day. Which is exactly where many people enjoy it to be.</p><p>If the government have us only talking about social issues, we won&#8217;t talk about the decline in living standards (economic issues).</p><p>If big business has us only talking about social issues, we won&#8217;t talk about their tax avoidance, or even look at their practices behind the scenes, because they have borrowed social-value goodwill. Look, we are pro-[insert issue], we are next to what you value, we too, must be part of your taste and preferences.</p><p>If the media only talk about social issues, then we create news. No one would watch the news if the update was only &#8216;Life is great, nothing to report today, go enjoy yourself!&#8217;</p><p>Which means, instead of lunging for human flourishing, which is what those institutions were originally set up to achieve (democracy, economies of scale and free speech), they are used to throw us around like a rubber ducky in a bathtub. </p><p>But not everyone. If you are securely attached with sovereignty over your body, you only want the government to fix your potholes, roll out hospital beds and stay out of your life. You only want business to provide high-quality goods and services. You only want the media to &#8216;keep the bastards honest&#8217; as we say in Australia. When you see they are trying to rule over (not for), make you a docile consumer, and present fake good versus evil battles, you walk outside, place your feet in the dirt, do your breathwork, and catch up with friends and family, and then vote the bastards out at the next election.</p><p>However, if we have been told that we don&#8217;t need to do breathwork, and our insecure attachment is other people&#8217;s fault, we may be looking for a sense of power to repair our obvious discomfort. Which makes identifying as neurodivergent one of the most predictable voting blocs.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

After the anti-globalisation protests in the early 2000s that took the pro-globalisation class by shock, it&#8217;s been a social (not economic) issue, about every 3 years. We&#8217;ve had climate change. We&#8217;ve had gender rights. We&#8217;ve had veganism. </p><p>Picking up the last one, to understand these trends: Who is most likely to eat a vegan, veggie, or low-meat diet? Someone who doesn&#8217;t have spiritual beliefs and does have money. Which means physical needs are covered, but spiritual needs are vacant. We are thus more permeable to other people&#8217;s ideas on how to make time here meaningful. If you eat vege, it doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;re a wealthy spiritual orphan. If you have an ADHD or autism diagnosis with high symptoms, and eat vege, whilst blaming other people, it does mean your worldview is complicit in your suffering. Meta-analyses reveal non-meat diets elevate IL-6, an inflammatory cytokine that is a major chef in the kitchen for ADHD and autism, one pathway by disrupting glymphatic clearance and ramping up excitatory synapses.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

liberal tent. Anything else? Particularly if we are examining the downfall of Grace Tame? Sure, being a female is a contributory factor. Again, it&#8217;s liberating or wildly offensive, depending on your software installation, to understand that females' morals are more mobile than men's. Boys demonstrate higher moral maturity than girls from a very early age. Girls from a very early age demonstrate higher empathetic capabilities than boys. Girls are designed bottom-up. Boys are designed top-down. Boys get their morals from their family. Girls get their morals gradually from social encounters, which is wholly part of their wiring and communion goal seeking. Also useful from a very long history of moving villages.</p><p>In such a village, nothing is out of place. Children lose their animal-like immediacy bias (and morality is borne as a by-product) from dad. Children lose their animal-like emotional reactivity (and empathy is borne as a by-product) from mum. In the modern world where we pretend children raise themselves, and there are no sex specific toolkits, we have a generation of children with a highly reactive immediacy focus, held wholly hostage to fabricated battles on their black mirrors.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

resolution for previously non-existent concerns, as social media adoption increased. Each social issue was met with more rights. More social issues were required to maintain relevance. Gay marriage took us to gender diversity. The first had popular appeal. The last was compulsively installed in almost all. From those lofty heights, the largest political move in modern Western history is where young females are taught to yell at young males with labels such as far-right, bigot, misogynistic, phobic bla bla bla. Resulting in over 50% of girls reporting that a boy not even participating in politics is a red flag, while boys don&#8217;t care about girls&#8217; political opinion or participation. </p><div

touches it, it dissolves. That&#8217;s how we got gender diversity, which is rapidly dropping from conversation as class actions are finally brought against those complicit in neutering mostly autistic children with half-formed brains and a history of trauma.</p><p>So what does that mean? Well, if you are a student in US colleges, you shut your mouth. The tent of &#8216;diversity&#8217; and &#8216;inclusion&#8217; only likes conversation that toes the party line. Opposite sex hormones ramp up glutamate, drop BDNF, and disrupt the GABA switch. All associated with suicidal ideation. Which is why longitudinal studies report both elevated suicidal attempts and completers, as we reported in a previous newsletter.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

If your entire worldview is based on believing the world is evil, and emotional homeostasis is gained by changing the behaviour of your enemy, that&#8217;s pretty isolating and depressing. The more we run away from everyone, the more our distress rises, and the more likely we are to hold these left-wing attitudes. An uncomfortable conversation for those who consider it human evolution when it's a destination maintained by scarcity, the opposite of how we evolved.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fQEI!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe3a80bdd-0169-4bf1-824b-9d32c803cd61_816x376.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fQEI!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe3a80bdd-0169-4bf1-824b-9d32c803cd61_816x376.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fQEI!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe3a80bdd-0169-4bf1-824b-9d32c803cd61_816x376.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fQEI!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe3a80bdd-0169-4bf1-824b-9d32c803cd61_816x376.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fQEI!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe3a80bdd-0169-4bf1-824b-9d32c803cd61_816x376.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fQEI!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe3a80bdd-0169-4bf1-824b-9d32c803cd61_816x376.png" width="623" height="287.0686274509804" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e3a80bdd-0169-4bf1-824b-9d32c803cd61_816x376.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:376,&quot;width&quot;:816,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:623,&quot;bytes&quot;:86415,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.jasfield.com/i/216363584?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe3a80bdd-0169-4bf1-824b-9d32c803cd61_816x376.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fQEI!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe3a80bdd-0169-4bf1-824b-9d32c803cd61_816x376.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fQEI!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe3a80bdd-0169-4bf1-824b-9d32c803cd61_816x376.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fQEI!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe3a80bdd-0169-4bf1-824b-9d32c803cd61_816x376.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fQEI!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe3a80bdd-0169-4bf1-824b-9d32c803cd61_816x376.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon-noB79L"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2 icon-noB79L"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>So what do we do? Run as far as we can to the right? No, of course not. That&#8217;s the reason why Germany is currently deindustrialising, and its citizens hate themselves more than any country I have ever been to. A family on a backroad, living in a mud-brick home in Bolivia, given absolutely nothing, loves their country more than the average German today. </p><p>Why? Because it was assumed that after going so far right, then left (without limit) must be fate. Now a pride flag is on every public building, you can be arrested for a national flag if there is no football game, fertility rates have been below replacement since the 1970s, German culture (that built once one of the most successful civilisations in our species history) is not advertised, instead, minimised, and anything else is celebrated and placed on a hierarchy above it. Doing so has predictably resulted in stabbings, shootings and sexual assault that have never been higher.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

should result in lower crime. Of course, this is not the case. 33,741 more women were violently sexually assaulted than would have been so based on the 10-year trend before 2015, and there were two gang rapes per day in 2025. What do many Germans do in this moment? &#8216;How could they have known better&#8217; or &#8216;Their life must have been hard&#8217;, which, again, carries out the crime sought to be avoided: You are assuming someone of the same species is less capable of respecting another person's right to safety than you are. That&#8217;s pretty discriminatory if you ask me. So, we ask as usual, how many bodies? How many bodies will we walk over to maintain worldview: </p><ul><li><p>That humanity is not a fragile elevation above feral.</p></li><li><p>That the elevation is not suspended by culture.</p></li><li><p>That all culture is the same.</p></li></ul><p>All people can achieve social cohesion. Simply, not all culture seeks social cohesion. But that&#8217;s not universalism, so media articles were presented with headlines &#8216;Migration not linked to crime,&#8217; with a high chance nobody read the cited study that arrived at such a conclusion by suggesting males, without a job, who are young, living in the city, are more likely to commit crimes, so advertising to young girls living in big cities with crowds of military-aged men in the streets are as safe as they always were, is &#8216;fair.&#8217; An action no different to denying shark attack deaths from people swimming at the beach, because, hey, there are sharks in the ocean. Fathers, mothers, brothers don&#8217;t magically walk back through the door of the family home. Perhaps they could have if a preventable &#8216;Beach Closed&#8217; sign was placed while the threat was resolved. </p><p>But that&#8217;s rational. Currently, we are on a very irrational trajectory toward the same place all civilisations go to die. You act like a spoilt private school child, spending your inheritance because you feel like you didn&#8217;t earn it. It disappears because it wasn&#8217;t fate, and the tools required to amass it have been lost. People wonder in. Stand atop the ruins. Question what life might have been like. Spend 10,000 years attempting to arrive at the same place, with no certainty of ever doing so again. Aliens in spaceships continue to be entertained.</p><p>What does that leave us?</p><p>Take the body to safety. There, we ask ourselves some questions:</p><ul><li><p>What is my highest expression? Is it love, defined as dissolving the illusion that we are separate? </p></li><li><p>What is my legacy? Is it the next generation, defined as leaving the world more equipped to deal with the human condition than we found it? </p></li><li><p>What does that ask of me? Do I understand the human condition and its fragile elevation? </p></li><li><p>Do I understand in-grouping? That even monkeys know attachment comes from continual relationship maintenance (grooming), not a &#8216;hope not hate&#8217; protest placard?</p></li><li><p>Do I understand that civilisation was never certain, and history is cyclical, not linear?</p></li></ul><p>You may be doing that already. You may not be doing that already and have no interest in doing that. Everyone can find peace, attachment and share that in a state of joy with others. Not everyone will. Those who don&#8217;t will be taken hostage by their body, call themselves clever, and be complicit in human suffering, as humans have done since the beginning of time. It is what it is.</p><p><span>Perhaps this week's&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.jasfield.com/t/monday-meditation"><span>loving-kindness meditation</span></a><span>&nbsp;can nudge us toward a receptive state, reminding us that we are all fingers of the same hand, and love is always waiting for us when we finally turn off the survival responses.

A reminder: This is not new technology. The Chinese reported using it in the 4th century AD. A 2026 paper finally revealed that Greco-Roman texts weren&#8217;t lying, as physical evidence of the practice was discovered inside vessels amongst ruins at Pergamon. Do we all quickly go out and find a local practitioner who can help us with this? Possibly. But that&#8217;s not the point. The point is, once again, ADHD is not a healthy variation, an ethnicity, or an identity. That is a lie constructed by magic bean companies who enjoy useful idiots acting as attack dogs for the groundless ideology. It is a survival response. When we discover these findings, we use them to motivate us to quarantine our gut health. Are we doing our best? Are we testing low GI? Low gluten? Low sugar? Low processed? Intermittent fasting? When we do, do we have a chart that reports our symptoms daily and lets us make choices that reflect our sovereignty over our experience? Or are we living on autopilot and screaming at a flying rock we call &#8216;non-inclusive&#8217;? Choice is ours, but so are the consequences.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RZ-v!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1fb944c6-d90d-44d6-bed9-8f645b681626_1170x2128.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RZ-v!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1fb944c6-d90d-44d6-bed9-8f645b681626_1170x2128.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RZ-v!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1fb944c6-d90d-44d6-bed9-8f645b681626_1170x2128.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RZ-v!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1fb944c6-d90d-44d6-bed9-8f645b681626_1170x2128.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RZ-v!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1fb944c6-d90d-44d6-bed9-8f645b681626_1170x2128.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RZ-v!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1fb944c6-d90d-44d6-bed9-8f645b681626_1170x2128.jpeg" width="241" height="438.33162393162394" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1fb944c6-d90d-44d6-bed9-8f645b681626_1170x2128.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:2128,&quot;width&quot;:1170,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:241,&quot;bytes&quot;:1624294,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.jasfield.com/i/214941701?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1fb944c6-d90d-44d6-bed9-8f645b681626_1170x2128.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RZ-v!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1fb944c6-d90d-44d6-bed9-8f645b681626_1170x2128.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RZ-v!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1fb944c6-d90d-44d6-bed9-8f645b681626_1170x2128.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RZ-v!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1fb944c6-d90d-44d6-bed9-8f645b681626_1170x2128.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RZ-v!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1fb944c6-d90d-44d6-bed9-8f645b681626_1170x2128.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon-noB79L"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2 icon-noB79L"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div></li><li><p>The second most shared video revealed the neural results of our modern worldview. As we have done this entire project, we compare our grandparents&#8217; worldview, our modern worldview and a body-led worldview. Yes, three worldviews, not two. That conversation in itself is absurdly confronting for many people, because we were brought up to believe our modern worldview is not one. It&#8217;s fate, and with it came &#8216;rationality&#8217; and &#8216;progress.&#8217; Yet, our amygdala is larger than our grandparents.&#8217; This, of course, is associated with anxiety. Our IL-6 levels (more on that in a moment) are higher than our grandparents&#8217;. Our hippocampus (a strong predictor of emotional regulation) is smaller than that of yoga practitioners. Our DLPFC (top-down control centre) is smaller than almost anyone in the last two thousand years, because low volume of that area is how we get ADHD. Which is quite simple to achieve by deprioritising and reconfiguring the role of fathers. Maybe, after 500,000 years, we don&#8217;t need him? Maybe when we do, he is best as mum 2.0? We are allowed to have as many ideas as we like, but if we refuse to quarantine them, then we may be living the lie that our ideas don&#8217;t have pain potential. Adults who grew up without their fathers have a smaller DLPFC. Father-child interactions are dominated by neural synchrony in the DLPFC (also positively associated with father-child oxytocin levels). People with ADHD have a smaller DLPFC. The rate of ADHD in fatherless homes is double, the same risk as high exposure to exhaust fumes. If dad&#8217;s not there, then we may have to carry out some DLPFC workouts alone. Incredibly, praying the Our Father hyperactivates this exact area. Otherwise, we roll out the yoga mat for quite an interesting trajectory. Yoga practitioners initially supersize their DLPFC until decades pass and it shrinks. What&#8217;s this associated with? The absence of negative emotional experience to reappraise. It&#8217;s no longer needed. We found bliss. Or, we can rebrand men as toxic, and divorce as household diversity (or better yet, female empowerment), and allocate any developmental shortfalls to the personality prison of the next generation, because the modern worldview solely judges fairness for those dead in half a century at the cost of all those who come after. Choice is ours, but so are the consequences. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZK1b!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19d5ea62-e2b6-4469-9ff6-289824801708_1170x2118.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZK1b!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19d5ea62-e2b6-4469-9ff6-289824801708_1170x2118.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZK1b!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19d5ea62-e2b6-4469-9ff6-289824801708_1170x2118.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZK1b!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19d5ea62-e2b6-4469-9ff6-289824801708_1170x2118.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZK1b!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19d5ea62-e2b6-4469-9ff6-289824801708_1170x2118.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZK1b!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19d5ea62-e2b6-4469-9ff6-289824801708_1170x2118.jpeg" width="235" height="425.4102564102564" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/19d5ea62-e2b6-4469-9ff6-289824801708_1170x2118.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:2118,&quot;width&quot;:1170,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:235,&quot;bytes&quot;:1671103,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.jasfield.com/i/214941701?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19d5ea62-e2b6-4469-9ff6-289824801708_1170x2118.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZK1b!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19d5ea62-e2b6-4469-9ff6-289824801708_1170x2118.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZK1b!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19d5ea62-e2b6-4469-9ff6-289824801708_1170x2118.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZK1b!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19d5ea62-e2b6-4469-9ff6-289824801708_1170x2118.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZK1b!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19d5ea62-e2b6-4469-9ff6-289824801708_1170x2118.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon-noB79L"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2 icon-noB79L"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div></li><li><p>Our third most shared video related to neural excitability. It&#8217;s fascinating how many pathways we can uncover within the body that predict the symptoms we head into the therapy environment to correct, and how we fall for the lie that all we need to do is reappraise our circumstances by swapping cognitive cassette tapes. Objectively, observationally, that does not work. Meta-analysis tells us that. The big psychology associations and universities go to great lengths to hide that CBT, for most people, especially if they are in a passive defence response, is a coin toss at best. If we doubt that, all we need to ask is the frequency of magic bean prescriptions. If CBT worked, why the beans? If the beans worked, why do I have to keep taking them? That&#8217;s not a solution. That&#8217;s a subscription. But therapy can work. I&#8217;ve enjoyed hundreds of hours of it. I finally got to enjoy it because my therapist was trained in the Somatic tradition. More broadly, CBT success has been shown to depend on variables such as compassion and the presence of in-session tools such as breathwork. Hmm, what does that tell us? Well, what did glutamate predict? It is inversely associated with perspective taking and positively associated with the likelihood of having no close friends. What the video didn't cover, but that adds further context, is that glutamate falls during psilocybin interventions and correlates with the positive experience of ego-loss. We can wear a &#8216;social justice&#8217; hat and bond with other people over every new manufactured problem that comes our way, therefore creating the conditions of attachment: problems and outrage. Or, we can admit that we are likely in a survival response. In that response, we are likely not much fun to hang around because we see the world through the filter of our unmet needs. We take the body to safety. After we do, we see others for who they are, and we all enjoy each other's presence, not being an emotional punching bag or resource to manipulate. Or, we pretend whilst sitting in a white-walled room, with a modern colour pop pillow, and an Ikea print, that drawing up our disempowering past and reappraising our poor relationship with it is all our homeostasis requires and success in achieving it is unrelated to the state of our bodily vessel. Choice is ours, but so are the consequences. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

appropriate target for attachment.</p><p>Take the body to safety to fill the development gaps we may hold from our lack of parental investment, even if they did their best.</p><p>Take the body to safety by reducing inflammatory diet choices that are quite capable of remodelling the brain.</p><p>Nobody tells us that, do they? That perhaps our gut is the source of our disturbance, our underdeveloped (but malleable) brain is the source of our disturbance, and our neural excitability is the source of our disturbance. What else might we have missed? That brings us to our weekly work-in-progress update.</p><p>In Australia, a disability scheme has successfully recreated the British attempt to get rid of snakes in India. We don&#8217;t want snakes, so bring them to us dead, and we will pay you. What did the Indians do? Breed snakes. Kill them. Collect rewards. Clever, no? What does the disability scheme do? Provide an average of $34,700 support per person per year with an autism diagnosis. Now Australia has the highest autism diagnosis rates in the world.</p><p>But funding for autism, is that not a good thing? Would that not help us in our quest to alleviate human suffering? Depends where the money goes. As we have always shared in this project, the growth of modern autism is not low functioning. It is not your 1990s autism. It is high and medium functioning autism, and you can find videos online that guide you with talking points to push you from high to medium, if that is your goal.</p><div

They are autism. Excitatory GABA is sufficient to create both autism and ADHD. Females with autism have significantly higher testosterone levels. Everyone with autism, based on post-mortem studies, has substantially more excitatory synapses.</p><p>What has been shown to be associated with higher IL-6? We know:</p><ul><li><p>Women low in estrogen (this is bidirectional, as estrogen suppresses IL-6)</p></li><li><p>Women high in testosterone.</p></li><li><p>Men low in testosterone.</p></li><li><p>High omega-6 diet.</p></li><li><p>Non-meat diet.</p></li><li><p>Perceiving discrimination.</p></li></ul><p>What has been shown to be associated with lower IL-6:</p><ul><li><p>Loving-kindness meditations.</p></li><li><p>Prayer.</p></li><li><p>Church attendance.</p></li><li><p>Cold water swimming.</p></li><li><p>Sauna.</p></li><li><p>Yoga.</p></li><li><p>Carnivore diet.</p></li><li><p>Vitamin B supplementation.</p></li><li><p>Volunteering.</p></li></ul><p>Those lists are not exhaustive. They are symbolic. We are not going to bypass that perceived discrimination. In an interesting study, simply reporting that you perceived discrimination was associated with higher IL-6 levels. Not actual discrimination. Which is little different from our studies on rejection sensitivity, where &#8216;lived experience&#8217; researchers' goal-seeking &#8216;non-inclusive environments&#8217; found that most participants reported that rejection was mostly imagined. Incredibly, the author still blamed schools.</p><p>Why do we concentrate on that? Because, as humans, yes, we can be clever, but we can also be extremely stupid. We tell young kids with an autism diagnosis that the only variable to their distress is this &#8216;non-inclusive environment,&#8217; our catapulting rock through space, and they will perceive discrimination everywhere they look. Of course we do. GABA is excitatory, sex hormones are flashing infertile, and our brains are hoovering up the insignificant that makes just walking outside sensorily insufferable.</p><p>Who is telling kids this? People with jobs paid for by you. Reframing Autism, which received $455,000 in taxpayer funding,<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-2" href="#footnote-2" target="_self">2</a> has a free course.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a> Some of the first steps after the introduction are:</p><ul><li><p>&#8220;For non-autistics, respecting the choice of the majority of the Autistic community by using IFL [identify first language] is a tangible signal that you are an ally.&#8221;</p></li><li><p>&#8220;The use of functioning labels, which designate an individual as &#8220;high-functioning&#8221; or &#8220;low-functioning&#8221; or categorise them as having &#8220;mild&#8221; or &#8220;severe&#8221; Autism, are deeply harmful to the Autistic community, regardless of an individual&#8217;s support needs.&#8221;</p></li><li><p>Watching a TEDx talk that tells you that discovering the world was round, not flat, is a useful comparison to understanding autism as &#8216;neurodiversity&#8217; and not a medical condition.</p></li></ul><p>Excuse the language, but this is utter bullsh*t. Our highest expression is love. That requires low personal distress scores, and the physiological experience of it is dissolving two (or many) bodies into one. We can observe this via heart rate synchrony, blink rate synchrony, neural synchrony, hormonal synchrony, and, of course, endorphin release (which oxytocin is a proxy for).</p><p>That last pathway confirms that separation is the root of our suffering, as our pain pathway, the endogenous opioid system, functions as our scorecard of attachment. Insecure attachment is physically painful. Secure attachment is euphoric.</p><p>What is this self-other blur associated with? MINIMISING DIFFERENCES. Our bodies confuse another for us, and they confuse us for them. It&#8217;s not spiritual beliefs. It&#8217;s not a religion. That is what science tells us.</p><p>If you tell people with autism that an appropriate method of care is:</p><ul><li><p>Identifying as an additional category that is not simply being human.</p></li><li><p>People who do not join you in that category may be prone to errors in remembering the lines for this fairy tale, and that means they are not an &#8216;ally.&#8217;</p></li><li><p>This is not disorganisation. This is human authenticity. </p></li></ul><p>You are placing a brick wall between them and especially their family.</p><p>You are placing concrete boots on them, and potentially their (future) children.</p><p>You are complicit in suffering that includes the increased chances of violent crime, chronic pain conditions, and self-harm (of which IL-6 has a strong correlation).</p><p>There is a lot wrong with us. I know the pain that our disorganisation produces. However, the strongest act of courage is to, yes, accept ourselves at this point, but also love ourselves so much that we believe we are worthy of even more. To revere this life opportunity with such intensity that we do not waste any time on any other activities other than sculpting this bodily vessel into a finely tuned machine that, once safe, can be used at our direction, rather than dragging us, or, many times, feeling like we are at war with it.</p><p>What if that government half a milly, what if that government $9.8b was, at least in part, directed toward:</p><ul><li><p>Balancing sex hormones in men and women in autism (the ones used as cannon fodder for gender ideology)?</p></li><li><p>Practising loving-kindness meditations that strongly predict not only self-compassion but also compassion for others. Reducing the chances we see another as capable of discriminating against us.</p></li><li><p>Improving our diets. </p></li><li><p>Moving our bodies.</p></li><li><p>Volunteering in the community. Focusing on how we can serve others, and wondering how that might serve us incidentally. Perhaps &#8216;the community&#8217; starts with our family?</p></li></ul><p>Would we not feel safer in our bodies? Would we not increase the chances of symptom reduction once we recognise the love we seek relies upon that as a target? Again, this is not exhaustive. It is symbolic, illustrative. Which path will we take?</p><p>Are we going to build a worldview of victimhood that ends at a Spider-Man meme? Or,</p><p>Are we going to build a worldview of personal responsibility that ends in dissolving the illusion that we are separate, recognising we are all fingers on the same hand?</p><p>Choice is yours, so are the consequences.</p><p>To your healing &#128153;,</p><p>Jas</p><p></p><p></p><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-1" href="#footnote-anchor-1" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">1</a><div class="footnote-content"><p>https://dataresearch.ndis.gov.au/reports-and-analyses/participant-dashboards/autism?_gl=1*1wpaoek*_gcl_au*MTU2ODY0MDQwOS4xNzg4ODIwOTY2</p></div></div><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-2" href="#footnote-anchor-2" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">2</a><div class="footnote-content"><p>https://www.health.gov.au/ministers/senator-the-hon-jenny-mcallister/media/455000-to-improve-experience-of-autism-assessment-and-diagnosis?language=en</p></div></div><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-3" href="#footnote-anchor-3" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">3</a><div class="footnote-content"><p>https://reframing-autism-s-school.teachable.com/courses/autism-essentials/lectures/42782444</p></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[scorecard of social attachment]]></title><description><![CDATA[monday meditation]]></description><link>https://www.jasfield.com/p/scorecard-of-social-attachment</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.jasfield.com/p/scorecard-of-social-attachment</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jason Field]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 07 Sep 2026 10:17:33 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c0d0b2cc-4ef1-4c59-a6e8-27b8bf653af2_2074x1148.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>please click the video below to access this week&#8217;s meditation.</em></p>

New month, same old target: taking the body to safety. Let&#8217;s begin.</p><p><span>The most-shared media, excerpts from programs 1 and 2 in the </span><a href="https://www.jasfield.com/p/somatic-academy">Somatic Academy</a><span>, were:</span></p><ol><li><p>The connection between mouth breathing and ADHD. Researchers discovered an unusually high rate of mouth breathing in children diagnosed with ADHD. This builds upon previous research where brain imaging researchers discovered that participants who were breathing via their mouth showed significantly poorer brain connectivity and activation than nasal-breathing participants, leading to the concern that just about every study using brain scans needs to be revisited because what happens if (at least some of) the variances between subjects were due to breathing pathway? This can sound strange. However, it is extensively studied. As we break down in the Somatic Academy, this is hypothesised to be due to nasal breathing acting as a pump for glymphatic clearance (inversely associated with ADHD symptoms) and prompting brain waves that aid in memory consolidation (ADHD and trauma show low levels of these brain waves). Why are we breathing through our mouth? Inflammation clogs nasal passageways, which also brings in the strong connection between allergies and both ADHD and autism prevalence. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

idiot. Autism is not a form of human diversity. Autism is not an identity. Autism is not a healthy variation. These beliefs are implanted in brains by the magic bean mafia, who love it because they get lifetime subscribers. The corrupt care industry loves it because the conditions are destigmatised, so everyone goes to get their label, which leads to financially rewarding 6-month waiting lists for practitioners. The patient loves it because finally the indescribable suffering gets a description that offers an in-group. None of that helps to alleviate human suffering. All of it demonstrates our lowest expression of humanity, and the various pathways through which we can be complicit in our species&#8217; devolution as we refuse to see fairness as intergenerational. If this were preventable or reducible, and we find ways to prevent and reduce it, would I (A) cheerlead that? Or (B) would I not cheerlead that because I am confronted with an identity fracture. If I choose (B), I am acting selfishly. I value my homeostasis for X number of years before I pop off this earth more than all life that comes after me, because if future generations knew how to prevent/reduce it, countless lives would be objectively less painful. That requires acknowledging that we all hold worldviews, which we also don&#8217;t like to admit, because then we have to examine those too. If we find out our beliefs, which produce behaviour that has consequences, may be self-sabotage/suffering producing in others, bam, abandonment again. So the path of least resistance is a useful idiot. It takes courage, particularly moral courage, to not do that. For ourselves, for our loved ones, for our patients, for our cultural thumb drive.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

When researchers find pathways that are so influential, they alone are able to reach the desired goal of dysregulation, we should listen up. One such pathway is GABA. It is not exclusive to ADHD/autism. We can create panic disorder models in animals via the same pathway. Two main threads are at work here: Do we have GABA? If we do, is it calming us or making the world painful? That is, in both trauma and ADHD/autism, GABA is lower and associated with symptom severity. However, GABA as &#8216;calm juice&#8217; is an option, not a fate. It depends on chloride levels, which hormones dictate. If cortisol is high, oxytocin is low, testosterone is low in males (stress converts testosterone to estrogen in men), and testosterone is high in females (stress prevents estrogen conversion in women), we will have excitatory GABA, which means we will show ADHD and autism symptoms. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

industry does not aim to alleviate human suffering. In fact, it is wholly complicit in human suffering. It can do so because it sits within our modern worldview, not the debris of highest expression striving, but the manipulation of the basic aspects of human nature to serve the interests of people who benefit from that manipulation.</p><p>As we looked at in the last newsletter. Money flows to university professors. University professors who hold the keys to &#8216;authority&#8217; sit on advisory boards that receive money flows. Humans enter indoctrination factories (universities) and receive their software. They play out that software's programming in real life, and humans asking for healers are seen as faceless consumers. </p><p>Why are humans prone to software installation? That brings us to an update on the work in progress for program 3. We fundamentally do not understand ourselves. We do not understand the defense cascade. We have good intent in our hearts, but we are wholly held hostage by our bodies trying to save us. Who is &#8216;we&#8217; in this moment? Better question: Who is most likely to become a front-line defender?</p><p>Most people become mental health practitioners because they were the emotional punching bag of their family. They have some thoughts on the human condition because their currency for connection was likely regulating other people&#8217;s emotional experience. Why not receive real currency for doing the same for people in distress? Sounds noble. Which means:</p><ul><li><p>Up to 70% of psychologists report insecure attachment, versus 25-30% in the general population.</p></li><li><p>Up to 80% of psychologists report a history of mental health struggles, while 1 in 2 will hold a diagnosis.</p></li><li><p>Psychologists have the highest divorce rates of high-income professionals.</p></li></ul><p>This means the injured player is carrying out the rescue for another injured player, deemed reasonable, because at least both are aware of the injuries that can occur in the game of life. </p><p>Yet, if we understand the defense cascade, we understand the longer our disturbance continues, the higher up we scale, and the more irrational our survival responses will, rationally, be. Which makes us incredibly permeable to bad ideas. We will accept bad certainty over uncertainty. We carry out the actions asked of us, a false cue of correct behaviour (because I&#8217;m just following the rules). We receive money, a false cue of correct behaviour (because if what I am doing was wrong, no one would reward me for doing it).</p><p>These are larger philosophical questions of life that can be difficult to entertain when we are not in receptive states. So let&#8217;s just leave them as thought bubbles for now and move to something concrete to hold on to. If this software installation was correct and worthy, it would likely (1) address the problem, (2) certainly not hurt the person.</p><p>Ok, let&#8217;s check on (2):</p><ul><li><p>Depression magic beans are used as an alternative to chemical castration in prison (no one tells us that, do they?)</p></li><li><p>ADHD magic beans are linked to reduced hippocampus volume and lower bone mineral density.</p></li><li><p>People diagnosed with autism are twice as likely to be using antidepressants as the general population, and ADHD medication is the second most common prescription for children diagnosed with autism.</p></li></ul><p>Are we doing anything about glutamate? Why would we worry about glutamate? Because it&#8217;s part of (1). </p><p>It is a &#8216;switch&#8217; for whether ADHD stays or goes during adolescence.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><div class="image-link image2"

Which is why we have our somatic shakeout in the toolkit, as we did a couple of weeks ago.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://www.jasfield.com/t/monday-meditation" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lOfS!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F20f438e5-39fb-434f-9d51-21c616993fdf_1488x310.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lOfS!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F20f438e5-39fb-434f-9d51-21c616993fdf_1488x310.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lOfS!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F20f438e5-39fb-434f-9d51-21c616993fdf_1488x310.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lOfS!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F20f438e5-39fb-434f-9d51-21c616993fdf_1488x310.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lOfS!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F20f438e5-39fb-434f-9d51-21c616993fdf_1488x310.png" width="579" height="120.49244505494505" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/20f438e5-39fb-434f-9d51-21c616993fdf_1488x310.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:303,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:579,&quot;bytes&quot;:235283,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https://www.jasfield.com/t/monday-meditation&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.jasfield.com/i/213832053?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F20f438e5-39fb-434f-9d51-21c616993fdf_1488x310.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lOfS!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F20f438e5-39fb-434f-9d51-21c616993fdf_1488x310.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lOfS!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F20f438e5-39fb-434f-9d51-21c616993fdf_1488x310.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lOfS!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F20f438e5-39fb-434f-9d51-21c616993fdf_1488x310.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lOfS!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F20f438e5-39fb-434f-9d51-21c616993fdf_1488x310.png 1456w" sizes="auto, 100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>As we slowly become a friend to our body, we start to meet a version of ourselves that isn&#8217;t in a survival response, and that person is quite lovely to sit with.

Why Separation Is the Root of Our Suffering and How the Body Can Save Us:</span></p><ol><li><p>The third most shared video of the week related to the global and institution-penetrating nature of Lowest Expression Inclusion Culture. A child who was not Catholic enrolled in a Catholic school, complained, and it went all the way to the High Court, and the judge ruled in favour of the child because Catholic teaching is &#8216;indoctrinating.&#8217; This decision was delivered with commentary on the necessity to be critical and objective. So using the same, critical, and objective lens, we find that children who go to Catholic schools report three times higher sense of belonging, 30% lower liklihood of being bullied, higher sense of self-worth, have a higher sense of meaning from life, feel more prepared for work and relationships outside of school, are more likely to have volunteered in their community in the last 12 months, which predicts not only higher empathy scores but it does so through lower IL-6 (as regular readers know, thats the one that upregulates excitatory synpases). Which means one child reverses all of those outcomes for all. Why? They have a different worldview. This is the chronic misinterpretation of our age. Everyone has a worldview. Everyone will be running on software. The child, the judge, the school. Does it have to be your grandmother&#8217;s thumb drive? No. Should we reference science and the greater good? Yes. We keep sacrificing healthy kids for the crying baby. Kids with no ancestral history of oppression are told they have blood on their hands. Kids with no history of violence are told they have hidden discrimination in their hearts. Kids enjoying three times higher sense of belonging are told one kid doesn&#8217;t like the in-grouping protocol, as fans of Seinfeld will remember: &#8220;No soup for you!&#8221; No one gets fed. Morally, intellectually and spiritually bankrupt.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ej_H!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F16981b61-c4a3-408c-86cb-a6b9a63aa945_1170x2124.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ej_H!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F16981b61-c4a3-408c-86cb-a6b9a63aa945_1170x2124.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ej_H!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F16981b61-c4a3-408c-86cb-a6b9a63aa945_1170x2124.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ej_H!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F16981b61-c4a3-408c-86cb-a6b9a63aa945_1170x2124.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ej_H!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F16981b61-c4a3-408c-86cb-a6b9a63aa945_1170x2124.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ej_H!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F16981b61-c4a3-408c-86cb-a6b9a63aa945_1170x2124.jpeg" width="250" height="453.84615384615387" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/16981b61-c4a3-408c-86cb-a6b9a63aa945_1170x2124.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:2124,&quot;width&quot;:1170,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:250,&quot;bytes&quot;:1737865,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.jasfield.com/i/211885058?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F16981b61-c4a3-408c-86cb-a6b9a63aa945_1170x2124.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ej_H!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F16981b61-c4a3-408c-86cb-a6b9a63aa945_1170x2124.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ej_H!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F16981b61-c4a3-408c-86cb-a6b9a63aa945_1170x2124.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ej_H!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F16981b61-c4a3-408c-86cb-a6b9a63aa945_1170x2124.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ej_H!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F16981b61-c4a3-408c-86cb-a6b9a63aa945_1170x2124.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="icon-noB79L"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image buttonBase-GK1x3M"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2 icon-noB79L"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div></li><li><p>The second most-shared video relates to the power of breath to remodel our brain. Before we talk about how, what we need to acknowledge is: If good breathwork changes the brain, what does bad breathwork do? That is, dysregulated breathing patterns, which are inherent to panic disorder, autism and ADHD. So what was observed? Breathing at six breaths per minute, which releases endogenous opioids, led to growth in the OFC region of the brain. Is this region of the brain important? Linking to our previous video, activation is positively associated in religiously affiliated people with feelings of unity with God. Outside of that, it is underactivated and smaller in ADHD, ODD and panic disorder. What was correlated with changes in the region after the intervention? Lower negative affect and better emotional regulation. For those interested, we practice this six-breaths-per-minute routine and lots more breathing exercises in <a href="https://www.jasfield.com/p/somatic-academy">Program 2 of the Somatic Academy.</a></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

We looked at trauma, prenatal stress and early life adversity. All three change the stress gene: Fkbp5. Small instructions (epigenetic changes) are placed on it, ramping up responsiveness to stress and predicting ADHD diagnosis in children once they went to school. They didn&#8217;t pick up a personality trait on the way in, deciding to be inattentive, hyperactive or impulsive. They are simply carrying out predictable responses from the DNA soup they were given. DNA soup that responded to scarcity. The currently spineless care industry tells them that it is their identity, throws magic beans like confetti that have a deleterious effect on the bodily vessel (more on that in a moment) and sends them on their way so no one has any responsibility for taking a body to safety. And, if we continue our Seinfeld theme, what happens if Bizarro World existed? Short yoga interventions, silent retreats, breathwork, and pulling the trifecta on your grandmother's cultural thumb drive: church attendance are all associated with methylation changes in the opposite direction. We have to stop using children as stress and trauma sinks and telling them surviving can only be done with a prescription. It shows no reverence for this rare gift of life we have been provided.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

latest government figures held. Why the bounce? Because of an ADHD Senate Inquiry chaired by the Greens. Why is a party that used to strap itself to old-growth trees in Tasmania interested in ADHD? Let&#8217;s hear what their recommendation was:</p><p>&#8220;The Australian Greens recommend the National Disability Insurance Agency improve the accessibility and quality of information around the eligibility of ADHD as a primary condition under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), including (but not limited to)&#8230; <strong>completion of neurodivergent-affirming training, including modules on ADHD, by all NDIA [National Disability Insurance Agency] staff and contractors.</strong>&#8221;</p><p>Weird. An inquiry into ADHD not focused on alleviating suffering and dropping diagnoses, instead training front-line staff to affirm diagnoses?</p><p>Did they get it? Sure did.</p><p>&#8220;The committee recommends the Australian Government implement, through the Department of Health and Aged Care, a neurodiversity-affirming public health campaign to <strong>shift social attitudes and stigma associated with ADHD</strong> and to improve public awareness and promote education.&#8221;</p><p>You see those words? &#8216;Shift social attitudes and stigma.&#8217; Do we quarantine that with our &#8216;indoctrination&#8217; discussion, objectively and critically? Or do we only see software updates from one direction?</p><p>Anyway, it all becomes clear when we realise the Greens simply wanted to spawn new voters. </p><div

How enlightened. We shouldn&#8217;t be surprised, because, funnily enough, most Green voters don&#8217;t care much about the environment anymore (hence kicking out the party's Australian founder when he refused to remove a Facebook post questioning if gender was fluid). Instead, they are simply an anti-social cohesion party. You can predict a Green voter today, because more than any other party, they score higher on:</p><ul><li><p>Willingness to claim government benefits.</p></li><li><p>Willingness to avoid paying for public transport.</p></li><li><p>Willingness to cheat on taxes.</p></li><li><p>Willingness to accept a bribe.</p></li></ul><p>So it makes sense that this party is willing to sacrifice children for ideology. But of course, the evil isn&#8217;t only located in one place. Another recommendation was:</p><p>&#8220;&#8230;increase the range of healthcare professionals, particularly GPs and nurse practitioners, who can <strong>contribute to assessment</strong> and support services for people with ADHD.&#8221;</p><p>Oh wow, every local doctor can hand out a diagnosis and magic beans? That&#8217;s a huge hurdle dropper. Where have we heard that before? Of course:</p><p>&#8220;AADPA is currently involved in developing several models of care trials between specialists and GPs, particularly in regional areas, and recommends that Australia work toward <strong>expanding the professionals involved with diagnosing ADHD.</strong>&#8221;</p><p>Who are AADPA? The Australian ADHD Professionals Association. What are they all about? Well, they were always fond of watching the famous television show with Jamie and Adam busting myths, so they have their own myth-busting factsheet. What myths concern them? </p><ul><li><p>That ADHD is not persistent: &#8220;Many families and young people with ADHD were told that ADHD symptoms would reduce and their child would &#8216;grow out of them&#8217; by adulthood. While sometimes hyperactivity symptoms may reduce as people become adults, this is usually because people find ways to hide their symptoms.&#8221;</p></li><li><p>That ADHD is over-diagnosed: &#8220;It is sometimes reported that ADHD is overdiagnosed and that symptoms are a normal part of growing up. Trivialising the symptoms as &#8216;normal behaviour&#8217; fails to recognise the extent and impact the symptoms of ADHD have on people. We know that ADHD is significantly under-diagnosed in Australia (and most other countries) which has been identified through numerous peer reviewed research studies on the topic.&#8221;</p></li></ul><p>Yep, no alleviation of suffering here. Simply, there are more people to be diagnosed, and that diagnosis is your fate, which increases the chances you&#8217;ll be a lifetime magic bean subscriber. </p><p>Which is weird, because as we discovered in <a href="https://www.jasfield.com/p/somatic-academy">The Defense Cascade</a>, simply sending kids to yoga for 12 weeks dropped ADHD symptoms:</p><div

Why Separation Is the Root of Our Suffering and How the Body Can Save Us:</span></p><ol><li><p>The day will come not too far from now, when the class action of common sense brings together all the people who were involved in the abuse that is the neurodivergent movement. They will be asked: Here is the data we held at the time, why did you do it? Why did you sacrifice children for your ideology? Advocacy groups receive millions in taxpayer funds to write policy for government that is installed in classrooms, and parents/teachers/students believe is conducted in good faith, yet their entire strategy is conducted on the belief that autism (and ADHD) is simply a healthy variation of human expression. It&#8217;s not. It&#8217;s trauma. Any psychologist practising &#8216;neuro-affirming care&#8217; can book an early-bird flight to the class action, too. Reason number 474637363 for today was the most shared video covering the results of fecal microbiota transplants. A technique, as Somatic Academy students will be well aware, stretches back to the Romans, yet we pretend we magically invented it in 1958. The hamster wheel of history on display again. Anyway, the results. Meta-analyses of these interventions show strong benefits. One study included a 2-year follow-up and reported continued symptom improvement and loss of diagnosis in 44% of patients. What do we do with that information? We say that the gut is quite capable of remodelling the brain, and the behaviour we observe in autism can be produced/turned off by that remodelling.</p><div

Children with the most severe autism symptoms were 9 times more likely to be consuming grains daily. This helps us construct one pathway. Intestinal permeability is far more likely in people diagnosed with autism than in the general population. That leads to inflammation, which upregulates excitatory synapses and impairs glymphatic clearance. Impaired glymphatic clearance leads to blood-brain barrier leakage, allowing wheat peptides to attack endogenous opioid receptors. Remember, if we turn these receptors off in experiments, healthy adults start acting autistic. Is that the only autism pathway? No. But if repairing the gut and limiting grains show improvements, we take the wins that come from personal responsibility for the bodily vessel. That certainly didn&#8217;t come from chanting about inclusive environments, because the world will always feel non-inclusive with pools of toxins in our brain.</p><div

What happens after our first few sessions of therapy? We collect our list of things we didn&#8217;t receive, that have been finally validated by a social other, and we point at all the people around us and say: &#8216;It&#8217;s your fault, my therapist said&#8230;.&#8217; Why do we do that? Because our worldview believes that the only barrier to our healing is simply swapping a cognitive cassette tape. We knee-jerk into thinking that part of that process is collecting our dues from others. What that does is boost an already elevated ego, because personal distress scores walk in tandem with ego-centrism; of course they do. At the end of the defence cascade is you versus me, and my body will always choose me. What did every cultural thumb drive in human history do instead? Ask us to domesticate the body. What does that mean today? Take the body to safety. Does that mean we throw out CBT? No, of course not. We simply acknowledge that if we are not safe in our bodies, we are built not to extinguish our fears, because to do so would threaten our chances of survival. As we have shared in the past, simple breathing and compassion exercises before a therapy session add huge benefits. </p></li></ol><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

Sure can. Take the body to safety. They are experience-dependent. What might prevent that? For men, low testosterone. We&#8217;ll cover that pathway another time, but what&#8217;s important to realise is that testosterone levels during adolescence are inversely associated with anxiety and depression symptoms. Testosterone levels are also in secular decline.
