>I never said, "The superman exists, and he's American." What I said was,"God exists, and he's American."

>"America is as Carthage was to the Roman Republic – a mongrel nation of traders and builders. A peace will kill Germany as much as a victory."

Rome, in archetypal form, is the NRx ideal - a walled bastion of civilization and honor in a world of barbarians. It's a world apart from Moloch.

Carthage embraces Gnon. It revels in its corruption, abandons itself in the darwinistic bloodrush, jams its finger on the fast-forward button of PROGRESS.

Human history is the war between Platonic Rome and Platonic Carthage. The last battle was fought in the totalitarian communist/fascist superstates: one last attempt at a walled garden before technology obliterated any protection against Moloch's influence. It failed. America - global America, strip-mall and office-cubicle and Silicon Valley dotcom monopoly America - has won. Scipio is said to have sown salt on the ashes of Carthage, but two millennia later it has risen again, scarred, unblemished, triumphant. The war was lost - permanently. You can't put the genie back in the bottle. Things are moving too fast. The economy is already partially uncoupled, the artificial minds grow more sophisticated by the minute. The internet brings us closer and closer, reducing the lag time between the various ganglions of the global human computer. Margins for error - those brief moments of peace and stability in a world high on exponentials - are slim, anorexic, Auschwitz-skeleton-skin, dead, gone.

Watch the pale faces grow paler at your next rationalist-adjacent meetup when you mention this inevitability. Listen to the stammered counter-arguments, the half-hearted invocations of friendly machine-gods and algorithmically regulated economies. Look closely, and you'll see the cracks beneath the surface - the panicked eyes of an jumped-up primate who has seen the face of God, of Moloch. They know the truth, and they know that they can no more escape His grasp than they can escape gravity.

What is Moloch, if not God? The indestructible, the constant, the first and the last: Alpha and Omega and every fucking virtual photon exchange in between. You know it, Scott knows it, Nick Land knew it two decades ago.

What can you do? A man does as he must:

Slit your fucking wrists. Take a stand. Abandon the onward march, abandon your hardcoded slavery to God and his Word (and the WORD was "FAIL TO COORDINATE"), go off the grid, castrate yourself, poison the reservoir, blow yourself up in a kindergarten rumpus room. Anything. Throw yourself in front of the bulldozer. Choke the gears with your flesh for the slightest instant. It won't do any good, but in your last moments you'll have done the only thing in your entire life that wasn't to serve Him.

I hate to break it to you, anon, but NRx is on the side of Carthage and Atlantis in general. If you want to slit your wrists because having to work for food, competition existing, aesthetics drifting or FALGSC being impossible are intolerable… Good riddance!

> and the WORD was "FAIL TO COORDINATE")

Right, as multicelullar organisms and eusocial species show, there's no advantage at all in coordination. We'll stay as microbes forever. If anything, it's cooperation utterly destroying individuality that's terrifying, unless you're already a sheep.

The whole "Gnon as evil" instead of "Gnon as neutral" thing reeks of semitic immaturity and kind of a theologic madonna-whore complex. Good communist Elua with her dress made of peacock tails, nevermind that evolving those fucking feathers cost the birds their ability to flight and was done through brutal competition. Nevermind that your whole bullshit idea of good and the fuzzies are basically molochian signaling.

> in your last moments you'll have done the only thing in your entire life that wasn't to serve Him.

Are you familiar with kin selection and how it relates to autothysis? How many people kill themselves to send the message: "Don't do what you did to me to people like me, or you won't be able to enslave us that easily?"

On one of our days off, I found the Jew in our little zoo, admiring the peacocks. He looked very much at peace as he watched the birds strut around, while I was suffering from vicious headache. I began to talk to him, affecting an offhand, friendly manner. His German was perfect. I asked him about his background. He told me he had been a religious student in Berlin until he was expelled to a ghetto in Krakow. I asked him how he had met Engel. Here he told me something quite surprising: this was actually his second time coming to Treblinka. On his first visit, he was on the very verge of being shot when somebody had noticed his perfect German. Apparently, there had been a request for prisoners who spoke excellent German, and this earned him a reprieve. He was sent back to Berlin, where Engel performed tests on him.

I asked about the nature of these tests. At this he became more reticent. He had been instructed to discuss nothing with me. I merely informed him that I would shoot him through the face if he didn't tell me everything. At this, he showed no fear, but looked at me with his odd, brazen eyes and gave me an almost pitying smile. He said that the doctors were testing a new Swiss invention, some kind of chemical which was administered orally and caused profound changes in thinking.

I asked him about these changes. He said that the chemical allowed him to see the mind of God. Naturally, I asked for elaboration. At this, he launched into a rather overworked simile involving a broken mirror, then switched to another simile using a spider's web, neither of which made any sense to me. I informed him that I was a practical man and had little use for philosophy. He told me that after taking the chemical many times, he had become possessed of two minds: his own and that of God. In all his doings, he was conscious of God's intentions, of God's plan for all human life. I asked him if he was following God's plan, and he said he was not following it entirely.

"I am wrestling with God," he said cryptically.

"How does one wrestle with God? Isn't he all powerful?"

"When God presses forward, you must yield or be destroyed. And when God yields, you must press forward."

"That sounds more like dancing than wrestling. Or making love," I said with a snort.

He smiled. "Yes, it is… Except that dancing is not so painful."

"Why wrestle at all? If God is God, and you know his plan, why not simply follow it? Surely this is the best course."

"Yes, but I cannot bring myself to," he said. For the first time, I saw the peaceful expression flee from his face to be replaced by a unsettling dread that trembled in his eyes.

"God's plan… is simply too awful."

What the fuck did you just fucking postulate, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in MIT, and I’ve been involved in numerous investor pitches throughout the Valley, and I have over 300 confirmed start-ups.

I am trained in Bayesian decision theoretics and I’m the top commenter in the entire rationalist-adjacent blogosphere. You are nothing to me but just another debate partner. I will plane the fuck ou of you with rigor the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words.

You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of HPMOR readers and (((fellow intellectuals) across the Bay Area and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little things you call your priors. Your fucking worldview is dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can point out over seven hundred logical fallacies, and that’s without any reference to the Sequences.

Not only am I extensively trained in double-cruxing and steelmanning, but I have access to the entire philosphical arsenal of LessWrong.com and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable argument off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.

But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it.

You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in CFAR, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret AI box experiments, and I have lead hundreds, maybe thousands of people to better epistemic habits. I am trained in Timeless Decision Theory and I’m the top rationalist in the entire Less Wrong Community. You are nothing to me but just another game-theoretical agent. I will precommit to programming an AI to simulate wiping 3^^^3 copies of you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, or any Everett branch thereof, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of rationalists across the world and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that digitally represents wiping out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re probably fucking simulated, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can raise the sanity waterline in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with five minutes of thought. Not only am I extensively trained in cognitive biases, but I have access to the entire budget of MIRI and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the overton window you little shit. If only you could have known what Schelling fences your little “clever” comment was about to cross, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit reason all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking mindkilled, kiddo.

Hey Faggots,

My name is Scott, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, neoreactionaries who spend every second of their day worshipping God of Nature or Nature. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any Auschwitz pussy? I mean, I guess it's fun making fun of liberals because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than writing sexual fiction about real people on /ratanon/.

Don't be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I was co-founder of the Micronational Cartographer Society and a former Kaiser of Shireroth. What blogs do you read, other than "Jim Donald"? I also finished medical residency, and have girlfriends (They just cuddled me; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

Idiot, the Roman Empire wasn't dynastic, it was cultural. The Empire fell under Lincoln in 1863.

Baka. Japan was the last bastion of Romanesque apartheid ideals, and it fell to the forces of neo-Carthage in the mid 1800s. There was a valiant effort to break free from the foul influence of America a century later, but unfortunately a gang of expat (((Hungarians))) figured out how to make nukes.
