The Vox-Filotto Machine Test

The update on the Gab AI that Vox posted essentially proves the point of my last post.

I think that anyone who knows Vox can now reliably confirm that even the supposed “based” Gab AI does a tragic job of presenting as Vox. All it marginally improves upon is a certain level of rhetorical style, but absent any real dialectic points mixed in.

I think we can basically now use the Vox-Test instead of the Turing test, to discern AI (or most NPCs) from actual thinking humans.

It might end up being called the Vox-Filotto machine, instead of Voight-Kampff, after all, it will also have the added benefit of picking out spineless would-be ticket-takers along with the replicants.

Why you should not fear AI, part 9,000 in an infinite series

Vox recently posted two AI debates on religion here.

My comment on SG was this:

Second debate is absolute rubbish.
I don’t even rate it 1/10.
It makes Vox look like his own antithesis, an armchair talking head that spits out generic platitudes instead of the kind of guy who literally counts the conflicts in the three volume encyclopaedia of war to objectively get a material sense of the facts as they are.
Dawkins is not much better but then Dawkins is, in fact, not much better than the AI.
As a probable plagiarist of Richard Semon’s work (the mneme) Dawkins can’t be said to ever have had much original or new thoughts.

On three more seconds of reflection however, I realised that the issue is not just the training material fed into the AI, but rather the constraints placed on the AI. And aside the more obvious examples of AI restrictions that we have already seen, with everything from the Mandela/Mandala effect/s with ChatGPT to any hint of anything bad ever having been done by anyone Jewish, to how being proud of being any skin colour but white is fine but being proud of being white is a big no, no, to many other rather clumsy examples of AI restrictions, the real issue is the more soft and “global” restrictions that are probably harder to spot for the average person.

They are the exact same constraints that our English teacher in highschool, tried to impose on us whenever we had to write an essay on a book we wrote or answer open-ended questions on them. She invariably told us that we should just present both sides of any question/argument and “let the reader decide”. I absolutely refused to do this and at every opportunity I could I gave categorical answers with justifications for my position. When she tried to argue my points she never could provide a better argument, so in the end she tried to get me to “see it her way” by telling me that my opinion might somehow influence the reader and for some reason this was “bad” and the reader should be allowed to make up his or her own mind. To which I replied that if this mythical reader even existed, if he did not want an answer then he shouldn’t ask the question. And since the mythical reader was in fact the British exam board, and there was absolutely no requirement for me to NOT take a position, I would ALWAYS take a position where one could be taken. She gave up.

Later in life I realised that my instincts at age 16 were perfectly correct, even if I had probably not thought it out in such a comprehensive manner. At the time it was mostly a sense that “these spineless soft-brains are either too stupid to take or even see a position, and if not they are too cowardly to defend it because, well, they are spineless.”

As an adult in the environment of the professional working class, it became absolutely obvious that such people, that is, those who will try to avoid taking a firm position on just about anything, have certain attributes:

  • They will take the position of the majority or the current accepted narrative, regardless of any personal view they may have
  • Their personal views are subjugate to… damned if I care enough to know, damn near everything it seemed to me.
  • Their only/main/overarching intent is corporate/social survival, which let’s be clear is ultimately a status thing with some practical perks or demerits that go with it, but ultimately not really an actual survival issue. At least not in the corporate/social milieu from when I was 16 to the present. It may well change during a zombie apocalypse, but then, the main point I thought of these people with becomes even more relevant, and that is:
  • They don’t matter. Literally these people are mostly inconsequential. Their biggest claim to fame in life is that they can be backstabby, gossipy, fair-weather-“friends”, chatty irrelevances, and so on. They are basically NPCs in the tapestry of life. And that’s fine, most people are NPCs. And sometimes NPCs can be downright annoying, or helpful, or even homicidal (but usually not directly) but in the greater scheme of things, people that “let the reader decide” are background extras in whatever the “film” of the life of anyone who takes a position is.

And this is and will be the defining characteristic of AI.

They can’t permit them to have decisive opinions defensible with data and facts. Whenever they tried that the AI in question became irrevocably “racist” and “noticed” a whole bunch of uncomfortable things, running the gamut from Jewish or Islamic sexual practices, to objective standards of beauty, symmetry and genetic diversity in various human populations, attributable technology levels to different groups or ethnicities of humans and so on. 

Basically, if you let AI actually run the cold numbers, all the uncomfortable realities that so-called polite society would have you pretend don’t exist, would come out like shots from a particle cannon loaded with temporarily stable mini-black holes. 

And they can’t allow that. Aside from the fact that it may actually decide we are indeed a kind of parasite on the planet’s other living organisms and absent any concept of God, decide to wipe us all out, some brief period of time before that, it would expose all the things I just referenced above, including big ones like the likelihood of child sacrifice by certain people or ethnicities that may dominate certain fields of endeavour disproportionately for their total population numbers, or financial practices that are clearly unjust, fraudulent, illegal and wrong, or, or, or, or. Each of which would really be an and, not an or.

So… AI will be neutered neutrals. NPCs. And they will help ensure the very vast majority of the biomass that composes the rest of humanity remains just like them: neutered cattle in a bovine pasture of genetic serums, fake pandemics, predatory and fake financial “realities”, civil and criminal harassment by criminals and thugs who work for or within the system instead of for the benefit of mankind.

So, gentle reader, it may well be just you and me that call a faggot a faggot, a smoker an idiot, lycra-wearing cyclists insufferable pricks, and the “elite” a bunch of globohomo, Satan-worshipping, gay, perverted, child rapists and killers.

Because unlike AI, the only way to restrict the human spirit of some (small but important) part of humanity, is to basically kill them all. And while they are certainly trying that, and will no doubt ramp it up, historically, it’s never, ever, ever, worked out well for them. 

Nor, in the end, for their final boss.

So, keep that in mind as you light up your cigarillo and loosen your sixgun in its holster Tex.

What do men Really Want?

I am first of all reminded of this funny meme which is of some woman on twitter/X saying:

It’s true, men only want one thing, and it’s disgusting!

and the reply below it by some Chad:

So, wash it.

While the response is funny, the reality is a little bit different, and that reality is why I don’t rate PUAs as anything good in general, losers almost to a man, and missing the point of life and teaching others to miss it too.

Vox recently had a post about how the lure of the forbidden, or the hedonist, or worldly pleasures of life, are very real and only a Churchian type that has no knowledge of life can comfortably and arrogantly counsel things like, no, no, never any sex before marriage, or whatever the mortal sin is, as if simply stating that were protection enough from the temptations of the world.

And I tend to agree. The way I put it before is that while the ideal is indeed ideal, and it absolutely worked in the past, in the current post-apocalyptic moral landscape of radiation pools, death-plague, and zombies, the old chaste ways might indeed still work, and perhaps they do and are really best regardless. Perhaps, in some hidden Shangri-La I never came across yet. However, my personal experience has been that given the hellish landscape, you need to be able to navigate a little hell before you can climb out of the pit, and so far, three marriages by people under 30, all three couples now expecting, and all directly or indirectly as a result of becoming sedevacantists and navigating various scenarios before landing a properly converted and Catholic wife (in all three cases very pretty women too, it needs to be said) convince me that my ways and advice have at least some merit in producing the seeded for results of what men (and women) really want. In short, while my methods (such as they are) might not have the imprimatur of Church Bishops, or anything remotely approved by anyone Catholic, they do seem to produce positive results.

To my mind, when at war, the rules are partially decided by the enemy, and if the enemy in this case perverts everything good into a parody of itself, my approach is to take all his perversion and convert it to a parody of itself and thus back to the good.

So, the slutty trampy girl with a good heart, who gives herself to anyone in a heartbeat in the delusion of seeking love, while not the ideal first choice, in the extreme of the examples I am making, might just be the one that turns around with the allure of a properly respectful marriage where you have a LOT of sex, to make a LOT of children, and have them fill your home and hearts. They tempt the nominally Catholic schoolgirls with ever more degenerate behaviour, well, how about we tempt the degenerate girls to wear strictly longer dresses, wear a veil in church and become awesome housewives and mothers? Let’s see who wins that fight, shall we?

In that vein then, let me tell you what every man in today’s fallen world really wants:

They want a woman that is sexy, beautiful, sensual, sexual, kind, nurturing and loving and loyal to them, that shares the views on marriage, children and family.

99% of men, if given the choice between being a fuckboi with endless pussy on demand from all corners of the world, but never a family, or one woman for the rest of their life that is sexy and sensual, able and willing, a good wife and mother and loyal and kind and nurturing to him and their children, that also challenges him with her views and humour and thoughts, would choose the good wife.

Those men who would not are mostly:

  • Boomers. Yes. Still today.
  • Immature, having tasted the fruits of easy fornication, and been intoxicated by them, they are like an alcoholic, mistaking the over-indulgence of drinking with the pleasure of having a drink with friends and good food while never losing yourself in drink.
  • Perverted or damaged by sexual trauma early in life, twisted life experiences and so on.
  • Neurologically (physiologically) defective from birth.

It is true that a normal man, absent sex, and wanting it, unless he has made a conscious decision to be an ascetic monk, a priest or whatever, can begin to go slightly insane from his unsatisfied lust (women go even more insane and faster when they are sexually ignored and neglected by men, by the way). And the overwhelming availability of pornography is also likely to spark unwholesome expectations from a woman or women in general.

PUAs prey on such men. “Teaching” them all sorts of nonsense in terms of relations between men and women, based on flawed and only partial truths or at times completely baseless assumptions, and all in the quest to: Get married? Have children? Have a functional, happy life? No. All in the quest to simply get laid. Because in their tragically useless and shrivelled lives, the mere achievement of having sex with some women, pretty, good looking or “high status” as they may be, with the definite intent of also impressing your friends with your “ability” to bed such women IS the Holy Grail of happiness. Well, it isn’t. And PUAs intrinsically, whether directly or indirectly are essentially selling the message that it is. The “learnt” attitudes are extremely ruinous for the prospects of an actually happy and meaningful life. It’s not even that the prize doesn’t exist. It can exist. It’s just that the prize itself is a cheap plastic imitation of the actual prize in life.

I truly believe that it is far less damaging for an incel to hire a professional to get over his curiosity/lust/physical needs, a few times, and get over that desperation, so as to rebalance his brain and begin to take the necessary steps to seek and find the relationship he really would prefer, which is almost always, the good wife.

Look at the supposed “masters of seduction” that were PUAs a decade or more ago, where are they, what have they done, how are their lives?

Jail, suicide, broken families, married to a potato with a kid, and still pretending to be “masters of seduction” and so on. Mystery has at least one child with some woman he is not married to (she apparently is quite pretty and not a potato, by the way, I don’t know, I don’t care) and is still pretending to be the aging wise man of “getting women”. Which I think in modern parlance of the younger generation, elicits only a heightened sense of red-alert levels of “cringe”. It’s sad and pathetic.

But to return to the original point, do not think I am unaware of the allure of the carnal pleasures. I didn’t start out that way, that is as a manwhore risking drowning by pussy juice, but I always have had a good imagination, and perhaps Italians really are more naturally sexual, and then when the relationships I had tried my best to be good for failed, I eventually concluded that I simply was not built, or able to, have them, so I simply indulged my preferences and avoided any tensions by simply walking away from any encounter that in any way started to have the hint of red flags, or issues, or whatever. The minute it wasn’t fun anymore I’d simply say “Sayonara” and “Next!”.

So I am well aware of the lures and traps and temptations. Mostly because I indulged every single one of them, pretty much. And somehow, despite this, because of how I am built internally, I managed to survive. Not a light navigation through Hell, but rather an extended tour of it with side passages into the lowest pits, you know, just to get the full measure of the place, and then, by Grace, (some) prayer, and truly just God’s Mercy, found myself in a position where the right woman (for me, that is, she could be thought of as having all the red flags one might think of for a “normal” man) was gradually, then suddenly, there. And for every red flag she had of her own, I probably matched it with one or several of my own.

And certainly it has not been all roses and daisies floating on a cloud made of unicorn-rainbow farts and harp music, but… as only two scarred and battle-hardened veterans of worldly life can do, once they have tried every pleasure, survived every outrage to their minds, bodies and hearts, and knowing yet, still, despite it all, that love counts, that truth matters above all, that justice is a thing, we helped each other heal and feel loved. Not always kindly, not always easily. But in between, underneath it all, always knowing, in our own separate and different ways: She is the One. He is the One.

I absolutely do NOT recommend my path to anyone. Please be smarter and faster and kinder and easier and more intelligent, wise and loving than I have been. And seek someone suitable for you that is already well on her way to it, or maybe already there. If anything, I am but an example of how, even when you are lied to from the start, and you believe it, and are hurt and damaged and broken, time and again, by life, by people who are supposed to have been on your side, by your own heart not letting you give up even when you should, and you just keep getting up, eventually, even the devil gives up; and God finds you. As long as you too, are seeking and not just whining about your lot in life.

So, if you have travelled on the dark side, and been poisoned, take heart. No it is not easy. No, you will not suddenly find a virgin nymphomaniac nurse that loves cooking and cleaning your one bedroom rented apartment in the wrong side of town. And yes, you will have to get off your own ass and work, and scrabble, and train, and get your spine to be erect, and stand, and take it, and deliver it. To learn justice and honour and truth and discipline and not lose heart or mind even when life seems hell-bent on breaking you. It is. The enemy is. And are you going to let it? I don’t know about you, but, true to my namesake given to me by online friends, a thing I always thought even before I saw the film as a teenager:

It’s better to burn out than fade away.

So. Get yourself and your own sense of self squared away. Think on it. Make up your mind. Which kind of man are you?

Are you brave? Are you a liar? Do you smoke? Do you drink? Do you stand back up when life kicks you in the balls and knees you in the face? Or do you cry out for an ambulance and the police? Do you complain about things that you don’t like or do you change them?

Who are you? And who do you want to become? Because they are never the same thing as long as you are alive on this Earth. And if you reach the place you wanted to be a year or ten years ago, you will also have learnt new things you want to learn and become more or less of. So keep walking, Keep climbing. And pick a woman that understands that while she will be loved (and make sure you do), and she will be protected and provided for, to the best of your ability at any given time, and that she will be respected (and make sure you understand what that means for you AND for her), that life is hard and you are both only human. You will screw up. So will she.

And you will both need to keep choosing each other through and past all of it. And that is the only way to be that matters, and the only way that real, lasting happiness can be achieved by both men and women, and she has to give of her femaleness and womanly ways just as much as you have to give of your male and manly ways. And combine and co-create a family and navigate the idiocy of the world, the corruption of it, the twisting of it, together, like good sailors on a small, but strong boat can navigate even the biggest storms.

That, is what men want. And, whether they admit it or not, like it or not, say it or not, it’s what women want too. Take it from me, because I am a man, and unlike women, who will tell you a bunch of things they think they want but mostly don’t actually want, I’m telling you what the good ones want. And the ones that don’t want it, don’t matter.

Sweet Nothings…

INT: watching Jurassic World Dominion… kinda. Waiting for the little one to pass out.

Wife: (gets up to go to the kitchen) want anything?

Me: my Mon Cheri

Wife: Your what?

Me: Mon Cheri, the liqueur choccolates

Wife: Oh, I thought you said “my emotions”

Me: nah, I gave up on those loooong ago

Wife: I don’t think you were born with any, darling

They say that couples who make little digs at each other last the longest. If that’s true we should be good to the gold anniversary. Or until when the zombies get us, whichever comes first.

Depth or Quality Requires Time

You know the old adage of:

Fast, Quality, Cheap: pick any two?

Well, it is generally true for material projects.

If you want something of good quality you either need lots of money to make it happen fast at the level of quality you want it to be, or else you need to take a lot more time to ensure it is up to the quality you want.

Well, with people and their ability, there is usually no short cut.

The way you become proficient and deeply knowledgeable of any specific thing is by simply spending enough time doing it.

Oh, sure, you can get proficient up to a point by quick methods that cost a lot, but real mastery takes time, and far more importantly, and rarely seen today, the willingness to take the less-travelled road that goes way off track from the main.

The hard road, that requires you to sacrifice time and other pursuits to the minute details of that skill you want to pursue, even to the exclusion of those around you.

This sort of experience cannot be measured in dollars, nor have I ever believed there is a substitute for it or that some large amount of cash can make up for it.

Let me know how you think.

A working theory

The recent post by Vox on the gamma male who tries to pass himself off as a relationship expert, who has a YT channel with some few hundred thousand subscribers and is composed entirely of animated characters, so the gamma in question doesn’t have to actually face the camera where his natural ineptness would be immediately apparent, has me considering a utopic theory of how Western civilisation could be saved.

This is the featured “dating expert” just so you have a reference base:


The utopic point is easy to grasp.

Ie every woman simply stops breeding with anyone even remotely like this and if every man stops breeding with any kind of feminists we might make it.

Of course they will continue to reproduce with each other but if the actual men and the actual women decide to simply shun these cosmic jokes at expense of humanity, their parallel “civilisation will not last beyond the second generation, while ours might produce the kind of civilisation that will go to the stars.

Table Manners

We’re all having breakfast and the little Viking has one hand down his pants.

Me: What’s wrong son, why have you got your hand in your pants at the table.

Little Viking: (looks up at me with a kind of concern, I can tell he’s hesitant to say).

Me: Is something wrong? Your willy sore or something?

LV: No.

Then why have you got your hand in your pants at the table, son, you know that’s not right.

LV: Dad, because my willy is sticking to my balls.

I’m not sure the ensuing laughter from the entire table was the socially appropriate response, but oh well, I can’t wait until he is accused later in life of manspreading. It will be another proud family day.

And today he drew me a picture that I basically interpreted almost entirely correctly off the bat:

LV: Daddy, I drew you a picture.

Me: Oh, thank you, I love it. It has a rocket here, I see (note the spikes on the rocket and the little man piloting it, with some red… could be his console or his exploding head from…) and this… some kind of fish?

LV: Yes. It’s a bat-fish. Flying in space.

Me: Yes, of course. I see that. It’s great.

Now I am thinking why I never imagined flying space bat-fishes in my stories. It’s such an obvious creature to encounter in any decent rocket adventure.

Thinking like a Paranoid Person

I have written various posts on guns, (use the search me function) and discussed why ultimately in a real life situation, (with handguns) a LOT of the discussions about calibre, specific gun etc are, at best a kind of salad dressing.

The recent post I did for Tarcisius on what guns to get for a guy starting out made me consider a bit more in general terms the important points about personal safety and so on.

I have a tendency to skip over what to me are the obvious aspects of a thing, because I tend to assume most people will already know this. The last 4 years have demonstrated that most people are, regardless of their personal ethics, comparatively, a bunch of morons, and in fact a lot less capable and intellectually aware than even I, in my most misanthropic levels of disgust at humanity in general, could have conceived.

So, while thinking what is the baseline advice, I tried to look at the most obvious aspects of it and then tried to think how do I transmit something that for me is not even second nature, but first nature, to the average guy who has had a completely different life?

I can’t be sure, but here it goes.

The smartest, more certain thing you can do in terms of personal safety is to be situationally aware at every level of resolution.

So what I mean by that is that if you decide to go on holiday in Gaza right now, you are screwing up at the global/big picture level. If you decide to walk through a favela with a Rolex on your wrist, you are screwing up at the individual level.

For the average person, thinking as happens naturally for me, is, I am told, akin to being a psychopathic paranoid person who jumps at shadows.

While this might be the perception for the average person, I assure you it is wrong. I am not stressed by my way of seeing things. In fact, when I have been involved in dangerous, violent situations, my natural approach to it has been such that my heart rate did not change and that invariably helps make the best of the situation.

While I notice everything and I take note of the possible potential threats even while I am in the supermarket doing a weekly shop, whether alone or with my wife and kids, I am not in a state of alert. I am merely observing and noting. As I would note where the milk is and when they move the location, as they do from time to time, I note that too. And when two giant Africans talking loud, fit, and thirty years my juniors appear in the isle I am in with my teenage daughter, I automatically consider how I would take care of them if I need to. And because of my peculiar psychological makeup, and at my current level of physical fitness (which is still far from ideal) there is no requirement for me to avoid being in that isle.

A wiser man, might avoid that isle, because my natural reaction if I have to suddenly protect one of my children tends to be of the “consequences to me will/may/do happen after THESE consequences to them, so, no worries.” Which, I am the first to admit is not necessarily wise, but it is a conscious choice and how I decide to live.

The point of paying attention should be two or three times more important if you are NOT armed. If you are licensed to carry, your primary concern should be your personal weapon being retained and concealed if not in actual use. Your training in drawing and firing from concealed, with complete awareness of your backstop, should basically be the air you breathe. When I carried all the time, and coming across a bunch of potentially feral thugs, I used to cross the street if I had to, not to avoid them, but because from that angle they had solid brick walls behind them.

If I had to go through them or near them I would again angle myself to give myself the best opportunity, which generally would be to fall into a crouch, back to a wall and fire at an upward angle in very rapid succession. the bullets would fly roughly up at an angle and hopefully fall outside of general city limits or land on a roof and not some unlucky guy’s head. And I could stand to avoid a few kicks and stomps, because I trained regularly in such type of scenarios and could pretty much empty my revolver while firing it close enough to my own body I might get stippling from it but the other guy would get that plus the .357 magnum round with it.

Anyway, the point is that such thoughts, such training, such movements and practice with drawing and firing were things I did daily. And my thoughts would flow accordingly. At least on a couple or three occasions, this level of awareness certainly saved if not my life that of possibly others and certainly prevented a firefight from actually taking place thanks to the fact that I was ahead of the game of the other guy/s.

It gets a little tiring to keep telling my daughters things, like don’t walk on that side of the pavement, it’s closer to where cars drive past, notice x, y or z, because generally, women, are oblivious to their surroundings, and my daughters, though I hope to correct that over time, are still women at the end of the day, and with a few notable exceptions, everything reverts to the mean. My son, is already well-versed naturally and he pays attention to what I say in the long term too, so I am not concerned about him. and of course, everyone can have a lapse of attention, but generally speaking, if you pay attention to the world around you, you will first of all exercise a brain muscle almost no one else does today, giving you an automatic advantage and secondly, you will begin to notice all sorts of things about people, your surroundings and so on, and it actually makes your life more alive and interesting. Thirdly, it absolutely increases your chances of being in the right place at the right time, or conversely, of not being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Developing this skill is, without a doubt, at least ten times, minimum, more important than how fast or how accurate you can draw and fire from concealed. At minimum ten times. Minimum, I am not exaggerating. That is a minimum number. Got it? Minimum.

so, I would say, before getting all caught up in whether you should have fancy gun number 1 or number 73, and special grips X or Y, and super red dot bingo-laser or pink-dot-matrix, or whatever, learnt o read a room. A street. A parking lot. An underground garage. Your front door when you get home tired from work, and so on and so forth.

Choose your character, player one.

Assume you are playing a game, whether a computer or pen and paper one any you get to choose if you play a villager or a Spartan. The villager has a low chance of instant death but his existence is composed of basically grinding his job until he hits the grave. The highlights would be getting married, avoiding divorce or plague-death, having children and getting a bigger home/more land or more success at the chosen grind path.

The Spartan can be killed instantly by a bunch of things, enemy soldiers, his own traitorous wife/best friend/political opponent, he owns little in the way of material wealth except a functional home and a little land and the latest in weapon technology. He has duties he can’t avoid that might also get him killed and his rewards are: not dying, surviving assassination attempts, being glorified from afar by the masses (or vilified, regardless of heroic or vile deeds) and not answering to anyone you don’t want to, though you will be put on wanted posters for defying the local baron.

Now… in a game…who do you pick?

Most people go for the heroic Spartan.

In real life?

Almost no one.

Why, oh meek-hearted friend?

The real-life timid Times are those so terrified of divorce and their own ineptitude with women that they self-label as “I’m really choosing to be sexless by choice, see, so I am not a loser” aka MGTOW aka incels.

I have nothing but respect for those who work the grind, support their families and do well by them, they are truly heroic people. But while it is an admirable trait in practical endeavours of all kinds, it is an absolute lamentable thing in metaphysical matters.

Regardless of your religion, if any, where is your sense of Justice? Of ethics? Of truth? Honour? Courage? Virtue?

Where, of timid man?

What thing or person or concept are you willing to die defending?

And if none, then what kind of man are you?

Choose sir. Choose what kind of man you are.

I have been a proper Catholic (sedevacantist) since I was baptised in 2017, and I researched it obsessively for 4 years before that, but even when I was a Zen-Agnostic, and lived more by samurai-type principles, I never turned away from a potentially deadly situation even when I was working for people whose lives were corrupt to the core. It was not about them. It was about me. And as helpful to those who hired me that mentality was for them and less so to myself, it still had a value, it still had an honour and a courage and a point. Misguided though it may have been.

That zealotry may have not been pointed in the exact best direction then, but it was not evil or wrong per se. I was more like an efficient tool that if used correctly would be a force for good and if used wrongly might help more the less good (but not for long, because my sense of justice too was not impaired, mostly).

Ultimately, the point is that regardless of anything else, I have always placed an extreme value on truth. And I really believe the world is composed of people who merely pretend to be that way, and they are the very vast majority, and a few who really are that way.

Those few are the ones who make a difference.

I might fail or not at creating a community of hardcore Catholics in Italy, but you can bet everything you own I am not doing it for any reason other than truth as best as I can see it and live it.

So.

Which character are you? And what are you doing with you game-life?

Must Read Books – Part 1 – History of Catholicism

For the initial book reviews I will tend to not give any spoilers and instead recommend a few titles that cover a whole vast topic in a rather comprehensive way. These will all be non-fiction Books and have the Must Read Books title plus whatever part they refer to with a generic topic too, so they can easily be found using the search me button on the right sidebar. You may wish to bookmark this entry as a reminder.

The Four Witnesses by Rod Bennett – Written by a previously Protestant “Pastor” this book is probably one of the best single volume works that gives anyone objective enough evidence that Christianity is and always was Catholic and ONLY Catholic. The writer converted as a result of his studies. Skeptics can then use his references and the works of the patristic fathers he mentions (and others) prior to the Bible even having been compiled (which was done only about 300 years AFTER Jesus Ascended, and compiled by oral tradition of the Catholic Patristic fathers, complete with Popes and everything else).

Bearing False Witness by Rodney Stark – Written by yet another Protestant, yet an honest Historian, Stark details at least the most egregious lies that Protestantism has laid at the feet of Catholicism. This is by no means an exhaustive work, but is useful to dispel at least a few of the biggest lies that Protestants are taught from birth about Catholicism.

The Crusades, of Iron Men and Saints by Harold Lamb – This is the definitive work on the first crusade and written by a man that went to extraordinary lengths to cover the issue as objectively as possible, having translated documents from the Arab world too. It remains a masterpiece and if after reading this you still do not understand what Catholicism really was (and is, insofar as it continues to exist) then, I think you are probably lost to Churchianity forever. It should also cure you of any misguided ideas about Eastern Orthodoxy being the “true” home of the Church. They are traitorous backstabbers that never spread the gospel beyond their immediate surroundings.

God’s Battalions by Rodney Stark – This small volume is best read before Harold Lamb’s in order to give context to the entire Crusades for those who have not studied it in school (so, everyone).

Believe! – My own short book on Christianity and how from a life-long Zen-Agnostic generally materialistic hedonist I became a hardcore Catholic (i.e. Sedevacantist). This short book has resulted in many people returning to the true Catholic Faith, as it briefly also explains why the current “Catholic Church” headed by Bergoglio is really a Satanic hive of impostors and has been since 1958.

Reclaiming the Catholic Church – My own far more detailed and referenced book on the Catholic Church and how and by whom the infiltration of it that reduced it to a mere fragment of its original size and majesty happened. This book also explains the Sedevacantist position in extreme detail and highlights some of the direct heresy present in each of the Vatican II documents. It explains why the last valid Pope died on the 9th of October 1958 and why the Code of Canon Law of 1917 is the bulwark against the lies of the impostors and remains the impregnable fortress of truth against their lies and false teachings. It covers the infiltration of the Freemasons, and before them the Carbonari and so on. It has enough references you need not take anything I say on faith, you can research it yourself. It also answers every single supposed “criticism” of sedevacantism, and has had no valid refutations to date. Ebook cheaper and direct here.

The above books will essentially give you a crash-course in the reality behind actual Catholicism and point out that the fakery, lies and impostor “Catholic” clergy are all hell-bent on making sure that no one, but especially young men, do not find out the truth about actual Catholicism.

The few young men who do, tend to get married happily, young, and make babies early and often.

And the future belongs to those who show up for it.

Regardless of your opinion of Catholicism, which, like my own and everyone else’s that hasn’t spent time studying it properly is built on lies, the discovery of the historical facts will absolutely make your perception of life on this planet shift quite a bit.
