Why Authoritarians Fear Voting By Mail
Why Authoritarians Fear Voting By Mail Niles Heckman The mentally weak authoritarian hates (which is really fears) voting by mail because it's democratic - because that particular voting mechanism loosens the physical and psychological control surrounding the act of voting, opening it up to more citizens. The polling place is a bounded space. It has a time, a location, an atmosphere, officials, observers, procedures, and bad lighting - You arrive, perform the ritual, and leave, and we've talked about how claims of voter fraud are dog whistle for voter suppression, part of that suppression is making it harder to do even that basic process. Voting by mail moves the political act out of that controlled theater and into a more open sphere. You can fill it out when you aren't exhausted from work in late stage de-regulated capital mixed with late stage empire, when you aren't worried about the time it's gonna take, transportation, or childcare. Mail voting actually gives democratic society something authoritarianism hates and thus fears: options via more time. It takes time to be part of the democratic process. It takes us at least a full day, if not a couple days to look into and research every candidate on a local or national ballot. And it should take you that much time as well. Then we need space to participate without having to rearrange our entire life that week or month around the machinery of one single Election Day. Which matters enormously.

Doomscrolling: The Flattened Schizophrenic Matrix
Doomscrolling: The Flattened Schizophrenic Matrix Niles Heckman Download Doomscrolling is the act of spending an excessive amount of time on digital content that elicits negative emotion and it is metaphysically grotesque. One can take the most extraordinary instrument ever devised for the circulation of human thought, and reduce it to a slot machine for anxiety.This “flattened schizophrenic scroll matrix” highlights that the problem isn't simply that you're looking at too much information but that the information has been stripped of scale, context, sequence, and consequence. Headlines, gossip, scandals, recipes, culinary photos, so so memes, lukewarm jokes, arguments between strangers - hundreds of realities without inhabiting any of them. All of which arrive through essentially the same little rectangular aperture. And then you scroll it.

Democrats & Republicans: The False Binary in American Politics
Democrats & Republicans: The False Binary in American Politics Niles Heckman In occultism there is the concept of binary. Meaning two. One aspect of this basic spiritual teaching is that we materially exist in binary reality. Meaning a two thing condition. For example - of Sun / day / (male) and moon / night / female. And why don't we call our daughters our moons? Think about that. In William Walker Atkinson's text the Kybalion, which if you are interested in knowing things is worth a read, there is the principle of polarity - Which says "Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet." And unlike other weaklings in philosophical, psychological, ecological, and supposedly spiritual spaces who placate to privilege & power cause they are scared of losing audience and thus don't talk about the political, we aim to speak justice & truth and will thus be incorporating this into are you smarter than a 5th grader in economics and politics.

Our UFO Sighting and Real Aliens From Altered States
Our UFO Sighting and Real Aliens From Altered States Niles Heckman Download In late 2025 to early 2026, we may have done a bit of helping out working on the Spielberg film Disclosure Day. Theodore Sturgeon, the science fiction writer, when responding to critics who said "ninety percent of science fiction is crap" said "Ninety percent of everything is crap". This is one of the most useful epistemological tools ever invented. It applies to anything made by man. Including start ups and religion! And nowhere does it apply more beautifully than to crop circles and UFO's!The mistake made by both believers and debunkers is that they refuse to acknowledge Sturgeon's Law. The believer says: "Every UFO is an alien spacecraft." The debunker says: "Every UFO is Venus or a weather balloon." Neither position survives contact with reality. The mature position begins with: "Most reports are probably mundane. The interesting question is the remainder." That is how science actually works.These insight sub-episodes are mirrored on our primary YouTube channel which can be found at https://www.youtube.com/@NilesHeckman/videos

One Can Only Serve Either "Justice & Truth" or "Privilege & Power"
One Can Only Serve Either "Justice & Truth" or "Privilege & Power" Niles Heckman Download There is a quote in Julien Benda's book "Treason Of The Intellectuals" which goes something approximately like "We have two options in life. We can serve justice & truth or privilege & power. The more we make compromises to those in privilege & power, the more we diminish our capacity for justice & truth. Better as an intellectual or an artist, to always be a heretic". Benda overstood something that every age conspires to make us forget: the intellectual exists not to decorate power, but to disturb it. The moment the writer, the professor, the journalist, or the artist begins asking, "How will this affect my access? My reputation? My invitations? My grants? My career?" they have already begun the transaction that Benda called treason.These insight sub-episodes are mirrored on our primary YouTube channel which can be found at https://www.youtube.com/@NilesHeckman/videos

The Five Types of Bullshit Jobs
The Five Types of Bullshit Jobs Niles Heckman Download We're going to be talking in the future about the concept of AI sovereign wealth funds, where the people of a country are compensated for all the stealing of their content AI models have done in their training, to create wealth not just for regressive Nerd Reich oligarchic sith lords and their carbon bomb data centers, but for everyone of all backgrounds and persuasions. But historically, it's also important to point out that many jobs have just been straight up bullshit.

Why Israel Hates Peace and is a Global Pariah
Why Israel Hates Peace and is a Global Pariah Niles Heckman It's important for people in the West, like say someone in the UK or US, to fully outerstand the extremely wasteful and massively unhealthy relationship our countries have with Israel. And why especially in those countries, there is this fervent unwavering support for that tiny country of 9 million people. Which after decades of extremely untruthful and thus bias corporate media own by Zionists such as sith lord Miriam Adelson that gives zero mention of Israel's crimes but hundreds of mentions a day about the problems of Arab states while hiding behind endless victimhood and decades old hat claims of anti-semitism, now include dystopian things done against UK or US citizens who are truthful about the situation such as trying to pass laws in those countries saying you cant even criticize Israel. Wrong, criticizing the psychopathy of Israel is the bare minimum we get to do thank you very much. And the short answer to why there is this fervent support is - religion. Specifically a certain type of darker supremacist flavoring.These insight sub-episodes are mirrored on our primary YouTube channel which can be found at https://www.youtube.com/@NilesHeckman/videos

Democratic Socialism Saves Capitalism from the Capitalists
Democratic Socialism Saves Capitalism from the Capitalists Niles Heckman Download The paradox is as old as the ying yang of social & capital itself: left entirely to its own appetites, capitalism develops self-cannibalism. Wealth concentrates, monopolies calcify, labor becomes precarious, oligarchs start raping, politics is purchased wholesale, and eventually the public ceases to feel the system works for them at all. At that moment, capitalism’s greatest threat is no longer socialism. It is legitimacy collapse. This is where we are now.These insight sub-episodes are mirrored on our primary YouTube channel which can be found at https://www.youtube.com/@NilesHeckman/videos
