Welcome to the Infrared Webcast.
Now, I have some bad news which is simultaneously great news.
This may be the last stream of this week.
at least the weekday.
But the next time I stream,
Which is going to be not that far off.
You are going to see me, said
It's going to be a big surprise.
I'll have a new background.
Not permanent, but you're in for a treat.
I can tell you that.
Lot is in the work.
Lots in the works, okay?
Uh, you know, some of those book stuff put it on hold very briefly 'cause big stuff in the works.
Very big stuff.
Very exciting stuff.
I can't wait to share with you more.
I can't.
I gotta keep my mouth shut now.
But
Um it's happening.
So, this infrared shit is legit.
You understand?
This is legit.
And I want to talk about that for a second.
Just before I get into the topics that I wanted to talk about.
We've been on a journey of self-discovery, finding ourselves.
What is infrared?
Where are we?
Where are we at?
Right?
And there there was a huge overcorrection when it came to our dealings or our fighting with the pan leftists and that's the new word we use to describe them, the pan leftists.
There was a lot of overcorrection in our community.
We tended to overlook a lot of the right wing ideologies
People who are coming from the right, who are kind of transitioning over to us.
We were very forgiving.
To an extent, we still are, to an extent.
There was a lot of things we decided to overlook, because that wasn't the primary contradiction.
But we're no longer in a position.
Of fighting the I keep repeating this.
The pan-leftists are no longer the primary contradiction.
I just blocked them now, right?
We've gotten to a point we don't need
to prove how we're distinct from them.
Be because we r we spread the MAGA communism slogan so far and wide.
Because we succeeded in cementing that as its own thing, we don't need to prove that we are distinct from the pan-leftists anymore.
It's done.
Now we can focus on the positive aspects of infrared and what we're trying to build in the positive sense.
And part of what that what that's going to be is uh a level of maturity.
You know, this was this has been uh for a long time
I'm not saying we're gonna stop joking, we're gonna stop with the humor and stuff, but
We're gonna be s starting to crack down.
Sorry, we're gonna start cracking down.
On a lot of the stupid, edgy um behavior of some of the people in the community, particularly when it comes to women in the in the community.
I'm not talking about your general views on women.
That's your own business, that's your own opinion, but
You know, specifically this thing about random women coming into Discord and then people fucking
Taking out their private grievances on them.
Strangers Yeah, we're not going to tolerate that any more.
Infrared is not a parochial comfy zone.
I want to clarify something, right?
We are not groipers.
We are not groipers.
You know what I mean when I say we are not groipers?
What I mean to say is that we're our own thing.
That is a completely separate phenomenon.
It has nothing to do with us.
And I I wanna be very explicit about this.
All that stuff from 2016, all that alt-right stuff, I don't know what your background might be, where you came from, doesn't matter, we're here now.
But all that stuff from 2016, you're gonna have to fucking leave that shit behind.
Because we're looking toward the future now.
And there's no room for failure.
There's no room for incompetence.
There's no room for this old, musty, dusty nonsense.
Infrared is a ground breaking, completely brand new, shining, polished,
It's like that shit from that SpongeBob episode where they go into the future, alright?
We're not here to go back into the caveman or whatever that primitive shit where they were in the jungle or whatever.
We're going into that shit in SpongeBob where they found themselves in the future.
You understand?
Shiny chromatic.
You understand?
And you can have whatever private views you want.
I'm not saying you got to compromise that.
And I'm also not saying there's something wrong with banter, especially, you know, with your friends.
Banter with your friends.
Be as sexist and racist as you want.
Who gives a fuck, right?
It's not serious.
But when it comes to how you behave and interact with strangers, you got to act professional.
You got to act courteous.
You got to have some good faith.
And you can't just be, you know, you can't just be treating this like.
I don't, I'm not a fan of that whole aesthetic of like, oh.
We're going to get comfy and we're just going to make this comfortable for your own particular parochial, you know, background and make it comfy for you.
It's like, nah, this shit ain't comfy, motherfucker.
Only the toughest and the strongest are making it out into this future.
You understand?
Got no room for that weakness.
Got no room for that.
Oh, girls have cooties.
Ain't got no room for that.
You understand?
Man the fuck up.
Damn.
Man the fuck up that nonsense.
You, you know, you don't, we don't have to, we're not going to be a corporate HR department, but we're also not going to be.
On some man child shit, internet gamergate man child shit.
I don't know what the fuck to call it.
That's them anime profile pictures.
You understand?
That's what the whole anime is.
Is that what you are?
Don't be an anime profile picture in all but form.
You understand?
We're a completely different, separate thing.
We are future-oriented.
We got that infrared vision beyond the visible spectrum.
You want to know what that means?
It means you have to start filtering yourself.
I'm so fucking sick of hearing about drama, people bitching and complaining about being banned from the Discord.
You want to know why you got banned from the Discord?
Because you didn't put on a filter.
We're not asking you to change your opinions.
That's up to you.
I can't force you to have an opinion that you don't want to have.
But what I can force you and command of you is to show some fucking discipline, especially on Discord where there isn't any free speech and it's not even our fucking fault.
You understand?
Have a damn filter.
And by the way, it's a good skill to have in life.
When you go and meet people from other countries.
You can't be so comfortable, but you're just going to act however the fuck you want to act.
You have to have a filter.
You have to have a sense of formality and professionalism.
Because guess what?
Not everyone shares your culture.
Not everyone shares your specific background.
Not everybody is fucking like you.
And we're never going to be like those fucking right-wingers.
You understand?
Because all those right-wingers...
And it's only a tiny minority in the community trying to be inspired by that.
And I'm not saying the majority of you are at fault, but there's a minority.
Let me explain to these you guys.
Those right-wingers, as comfy and warm as they are with, oh yeah, we're all the same race and culture.
We all come from the same background.
We totally get each other.
And we have this.
They are the most cannibalistic, vicious motherfuckers on earth.
The amount of backstabbing, the amount of doxing and swatting and fucking shit they do against each other, it's crazy.
It's even more than leftists.
Those people are trying to kill each other all the time.
We're not having that, all right?
That whole, you know, when you try to act like a man-child and conform the world to your familiar sensibilities, guess what?
You know, we're here, we're here to deal with the alienation.
You know what I mean?
We have to confront the alienation.
What do I mean by the alienation?
What was Marx's slogan?
Nothing human is alien to me.
AI is alien and scary.
The future is alien and scary.
Guess what?
We're fucking embracing it.
And we are confronting it with our sober senses, accepting the inevitability of the future.
It cannot be stopped.
You understand?
And this is a great way for me to transition into this topic.
Because I am kind of so shocked, I'm appalled.
The backlash against these beautiful new AI technologies that I'm seeing.
Wow.
I'm seeing tweets with 150,000 likes, 200,000 likes.
Regulate AI now.
Ban AI now.
And I'm like, what?
We're gonna first of all, who the fuck are these people trying to impose their sensibilities on me?
You're a fucking furry.
I'm gonna sit here and you're gonna force your tastes on me.
And I have we have to sacrifice actual fucking historical progress because you're too much of a fucking baby to grow the fuck up and embrace the future.
Fuck you, literally.
How is nobody pissed about this?
I never get listen.
Maybe I am AI.
My race is AI.
You want to know why?
Because I never get offended.
Over race or religion on a personal level.
Chancellor, what's going on?
I don't get offended about race or religion on a personal level.
Like, I don't give a fuck.
You know, you could say whatever dumbass shit you want.
It's not going to offend me.
I don't care.
But this whole like.
Cancel AI thing.
It's just, I don't know why that pisses me off so much.
What the fuck is that?
Yeah, we're gonna just kill this in its cradle because it makes these fucking people uncomfortable.
And how corrupt is that?
How corrupt is that?
We have to agree that furry artists are real art and that's we have to actually give them our money too because they're saying, oh, you know, so many people are going to get fired.
It's like, well, then go fucking get a job at Wendy's.
What entitles you to have the job of being an artist?
Nothing.
That's like me saying I'm entitled to being a streamer.
You know?
Oh, I'm entitled.
I'm entitled as a streamer, right?
Imagine if that was my mindset creating infrared.
That I'm entitled to everyone's money.
And I'm entitled to have clout.
And I'm entitled to have people.
No, infrared's a thing because guerrillas are down with it.
You understand?
Guerrillas are rolling with it.
What's up, hot take?
Because hot take is rolling with it.
You understand?
That's why infrared is a thing.
I'm not telling hot take he's a bad person for not giving me money.
What makes me better than anyone else?
You know, I'm not entitled to shit.
We're all equal.
You know, in the sense we're not entitled to nothing.
Sleeper cell, what's going on?
So that shit, I know I'm talking vulgar and stuff, but I'm really pissed off about the anti-AI stuff.
It's like, damn, these people need to go in jail.
I don't know.
Fucking deport them.
Anyone trying to hold back the forces of production needs to be deported.
Blackpack, what's going on?
Nabi, what's going on?
Blackpack, wow.
Goddamn.
Blackpack is the reason infrared's around.
You know what I'm saying?
Kami Yeets, what's up?
I guess the reason I'm really pissed, and I, you know, it's never good to be angry, by the way.
Nabby, what's going on?
It's never good to be angry, all right?
And every time I'm angry, it warrants a self-criticism and it warrants me breaking down the thing so that we could all be a little more calm about it, right?
Understand what we're understanding.
We should use it to inspire us.
We should be we should turn this anger we have, I'm sure you have it too, and turn that anger into energy that inspires us to do great things, to take advantage of this growing technology.
To use it with the utmost degree of ruthlessness without any hesitation whatsoever.
Use it as a tool, use it as a medium from which and with which the infrared message, the message of Marxism-Leninism in the age of multipolarity.
The message of an American Marxism proliferates uninhibited.
That's what it should inspire us to do.
But it pisses me off because I'm seeing these disgusting freaks, these lump and scumbags who laughed at farmers that are indebted, losing their farms, being crushed under debt.
calling them kulaks and petty bourgeois, and claiming that them getting gobbled up by parasitic monopolies is somehow historically progressive,
them claiming that the devastation of people's livelihoods
Be it small businesses being destroyed, and not even just small businesses, also actual industrial workers.
They have such a snobbish, pseudo-accelerationist attitude toward these masses of human beings who are whose.
whose misfortunes don't just affect them individually, but affect entire families and communities.
And is really creating a crisis of humanity, the the fentanyl crisis.
You know, people just starting to kill themselves on a large scale.
It's devastating the bonds that hold America together.
As a country, as a people, I mean, it's a profound tragedy.
And I'm not the one saying we can return to the past.
That's not what I'm saying.
But the people that are angry about this and are trying to fight back against it, even if their methods are not and they're never advanced when they're spontaneous, right?
The methods of the proletariat are always primitive at the outset.
But the lack of sympathy with these people undergoing this process of the devastation of their livelihoods and their humanity.
You know, they always disguise that as some kind of like edgy, haha, progress wins no matter what, ha ha.
But now that AI is out and like what?
People who work at Disney or people who work for Hollywood as writers or digital artists, even worse, are going to face the prospect of being laid off.
Now we're supposed to be sentimental romantics who think we should inhibit the development of the productive forces.
Mind you, the immiseration of small farmers and small businesses isn't corresponding to any historically progressive phenomena.
It's not like these are being replaced by more advanced productive forces.
Maybe in the case of Walmart or Amazon, you can make the case.
But in a lot of cases, it's the degrowth thing.
A lot of people are just losing their livelihood.
Because production overall is becoming neglected and it's just things are getting depopulated and and there's a crisis of birth rates and there's a crisis of entire towns dying, right?
And there's nothing about that that's historically progressive in terms of the productive forces or new relationships of production.
But when it comes to digital artists, now we should be ro now we're gonna fucking hold back progress.
What happened to the uninhibited progressivism, right?
Doesn't that piss you off at least a little bit?
That disgusting hypocrisy?
Like at least be consistent.
They don't even have the decency to do that.
They're so shamelessly self-serving that they're attacking AI purely because they themselves on a personal level come from the creative professional background.
They don't care about communism or Marxism or whether or not this is commensurate with an impersonal scientific analysis.
They're just shamelessly asserting their own personal interests over the interests of the country, over the interests of the people, over the interests of humanity.
Imagine if I tailored Infrared's entire message around being a lawyer or being a streamer, and it's just my personal background imposed on everyone, and I'm putting that in front of the interests of the whole people and the whole country.
What kind of communist would I be if I did that, right?
How disgusting is that?
These people have no shame, but I'm not gonna even be angry toward them.
I'm past that.
Because when you're angry toward them,
You're just giving them a reason to continue living and continue existing.
That's the truth.
These people are lumping social scum that will be the and this is this is how karma's a bitch, you understand?
They are going to face far more of a bleak future than the the farmers and the workers that they're sneering at and jeering at.
And uh let us find consolation in that fact.
You know, I keep, you know, in terms of the responses to the I was expecting their responses to be way more severe.
But the main one is like people are just like, ha ha, I didn't read that.
Which is interesting, to say the least.
Why would you take the time out to say that?
But it also shows.
There is no real rational response to infrared, either from leftists or the right-wing.
Because a lot of right-wingers were also pissed off about what I wrote.
And none of them can come up with any kind of rational response.
And that sounds old.
Every single streamer or alternate political lead, I mean, I'm sure Jay Dyer likes to claim that or something, right?
But when I say it, I actually mean it, that this is actually the case.
There's no rational response.
The chain of discursive communication.
An exchange is it's just been closed.
There's no way for them to respond to us in a rational way.
And I think the prerequisite for dialogue is recognition, right?
And why is it that people find it so hard to recognize someone's argument?
Why is it always about dismissing it?
Oh, too long, didn't read?
Why is that the knee-jerk response?
Well, it's simple.
When you recognise the argument of the other
you risk potentially and eventually
giving particular determination
to reason itself.
You're giving reason a particularity.
A receptacle.
Of particularity.
Which is fundamentally incompatible with liberalism and the bourgeois ideology corresponding to it.
In the bourgeois ideology, there can never be.
a concrete and particular receptacle of rationality.
There can never be, for example, Stalin was lied about,
This is the true story.
There can never be, for example,
This is the true history of Korea.
This is the true history of the Korean people.
We have been lied about, and here we are arguing and making our case against this, right?
The minute you're even
The the minute you're even minimally willing to hear out what the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has to say about itself, its history, and its nationality, the minute you open yourself up to that, suddenly the total openness
of rationalism becomes enclosed.
You're enclosing it into a specific and particular context where it acquires the status of a concrete totality.
It's actually a particular determination of reason.
Right?
I always notice Western tourists, when they travel to China, when they travel to North Korea, when they travel to these countries, they always have to keep telling themselves this mantra: this is propaganda, this is propaganda.
They can never recognize the meaningfulness of what the Chinese, what the Koreans are trying to tell them, what that means for those people, because it's too particular.
It's too particular.
It's too particular in the sense of being.
A response within the dialectic.
Liberalism only has one assertion.
Which does not tolerate any response.
Just I assert this, no response is possible for me to entertain.
So obviously, they're not going to read anything I say or listen to anything I say in a rational manner because this is a dialectic.
This is not, I'm not just conveying the one-sided assertions of liberalism, I'm responding critically.
And to even entertain that, to even recognize the possibility that I might be saying something at all, would be
To give particularity to the determination of reason, right?
Everything has to be a one-sided thrust.
With no uh conclusion.
Just a complete um
A complete conductivity.
A complete uh seamless
Um
Seamless, slee, seamless alignment with, you know, the one-sided.
uh assertion and monopoly over
how reality is understood.
Um
People don't read and people need to start reading.
And I'm gonna do my best to encourage that.
People need to start reading.
Okay.
I have I there's no one there's no critic of infrared who has actually responded to us.
Everything they say, I've already responded to, or within two minutes in a debate, they would they would have no standing, even by their own reasoning and their own logic.
And there's just no exceptions to that.
And this is why I've just started to block people on a mass scale.
'Cause it's like, listen, I'll debate you.
I'll fucking debate you.
You know that.
But you don't want to debate.
So what you want to do is what?
Jack yourself off.
I don't want to be involved in that.
So go fucking do that on your own.
You know?
It's not that I'm a technological optimist.
It's not that I'm trying to sell you AI.
AI is here no matter whether we say it's good or it's bad, right?
I just believe in authentically being honest about what our reality is.
I'm not here to say AI is good or AI is bad.
I'm here to say this is our reality.
And these disgusting digital artists and pan-leftists on social media who are attacking AI are disgusting subhuman hypocrites who are lying to us about what our reality actually fucking is.
A good example of this is how they say, oh, AI is just going to lead to mass-produced garbage.
How many of these original digital art artists you see produce unique art?
Does any of it look unique?
It all literally looks like recycled shit that in no way contributes to the history of art.
There's no novelty there.
And if you don't know that, you're just not familiar with the fucking history of art.
I'm sorry to fucking tell you, but just because a picture gives you fuzzy feelings inside and you like it, doesn't mean it's fucking art.
It's just as much a mimicry of it's not real art because it's not original.
So Malovich's Black Square was actually original.
Socialist realism was original.
Impressionism was original.
Symbolism was original.
These are all chapters in the history of art that contributed novel contributions to the history of art.
Um
If you're just creating something that looks cool or looks nice, that's not art.
We have exhausted a long time ago, I would say Malovich and the Black Square was the end of any novelty in the realm of I'm gonna have a painting and I'm just gonna paint something on it, and this is gonna be a groundbreaking historical contribution to art.
The Black Square was the absolute last work of art that could express itself through a visual medium, at least in terms of painting.
Or drawing, or whatever else, you know, a static 2D image ends with the black square, okay?
I'm sick of being gaslit about how this is the death of art by fucking retards who don't know anything about the history of modern art.
I'm really sick of it because they're Philistines in the literal sense of the word.
They think that they woke up yesterday and they learned how to doodle on Adobe Illustrator and that makes them fucking artists without literally knowing anything about how artists in the past were actually trying to give expression to the entirety of what reality was.
They were actually trying to express the truth of universal existence in a way that had not been done before.
And if it was done before, then art is dead and it doesn't there's no need for it.
Modern art is dead.
It's dead and it's gone.
So this is a new era of art, which is irreducible to individual works.
There's no single picture, there's no single image, there's not even a single movie or T V show or anything that suffices to constitute a work of art.
That is dead.
That's over.
That's high art.
High art is gone.
So, how can art survive and live past that?
I'll tell you.
Art has taken on a thematic character.
Art has taken on the character of being irreducible to single works, but rather entire themes
Which thread
And and like a gestalt, which thread together many particular components into one bigger vision or movement or phenomena.
That's how art exists today.
It's like
Art arises only in bulk, only with a flood of cheap, stupid shit taken as a whole, a flood of it, can you start to discern
A a singular artistic vision.
The the era of individuals producing art is over.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
Individual production of art is over.
Art has become irreversibly socialized.
A work of art is something that is inadvertently produced by a community or by a society or by a country.
No longer is it produced by an individual.
And this is old news, by the way.
This is not even today.
This is old news.
This is what Malovich was proving.
Socialist realism.
The the the era of mass-produced state propaganda as art.
Was the beginning of this, okay?
The beginning of giving expression to reality in bulk.
As an overall theme reflecting the movement of history and society.
Given expression ultimately when taken from a bird's eye view in an inadvertent way, that is art.
You understand?
You know these stupid trad art accounts.
Oh, why don't we go back to fucking statues and shit?
Because you're the same thing as a fucking furry artist, you stupid fuck.
You're the same thing.
You just want something that looks fucking cozy and looks nice.
Fine, then just say you want it to look nice and cozy.
Don't fucking call it art, you fucking retard.
Because a furry thinks that those disgusting drawings of, I don't even know what it is, cartoon animal porn, that's what makes them cozy and fuzzy inside.
So when you see Greek coliseums, and that makes you fuzzy inside, that's not an artistic experience.
That's just you wanting a pleasant.
I'm not against that.
I'm not saying that's necessarily bad, but stop confusing that for art because it's not what fucking art is.
Art is supposed to convey and express the truth of existence, the truth of universal reality.
Ruthlessly, without compromise.
And it's not about y making you feel fuzzy inside.
It's about delivering you to a profound appreciation
Of the reality you take as a premise.
in some kind of way.
It's like I'm not a right-wing trad trad art per you know, that's fucking LARP.
It's the same thing as the pan-leftist degenerate non- they're both degenerate, actually.
They're both fucking degenerate.
How many stupid, disgusting, homosexual, neo-Nazi uh
What are they fucking called?
What is it called where it's like pink and it's from the eighties?
That style?
Return to tradition and there's like a fucking swastika moving and it's pink.
And it's what is that?
Synth wave?
Yeah, that's art, dude.
Synth wave is art.
You are a fucking retard.
Vaporwave
Vapor wave.
I mean, we're I'm not here to be in 2016.
I'm not here for that.
Why is infrared the only ones that are like at the at the avant-garde of history right now?
You notice that?
Like on an aesthetic level, why are we the only ones?
And even if we're not, we're trying, right?
We're actually trying.
We're trying to embrace the present we live in.
We're the only ones doing that.
Everyone else is trying to copy some old bullshit.
Meanwhile, we're here trying to actually
Embrace the future in some kind of way, or accept it, at least accept it.
Oh, you know, um I I I just think that this cute little picture of a of a of a cute animal that's smiling and it's also gay, that's that's a work of art.
It's it's a warm, colorful cartoon Studio Gilby.
Shut the fuck up.
You psychotic retard.
You're just a consumer trying to consume.
How who does that inspire?
Who does that inspire?
You know, art is supposed to inspire you to work.
That's literally the truth.
You wanna know the truth of what art is?
It's supposed to inspire you to work.
It's supposed to inspire you to stop oogling at fucking images and actually make something.
You know what it means to make something?
It means to accept the inadvertence of your actions and the results of your actions.
There's never going to be a one-to-one input and output.
You need to make peace with that.
The minute you recognize that, is when you understand the sage-like wisdom of Stalin, Mao, etc., etc.
Give recognition to the dialectical nature of reality.
But nobody wants that.
Everyone wants to just reproduce incestuously and recycle their parochial, narrow, comfy little fucking feelings and have that reflected to them on the screen.
And then these people, both the left pan-leftists, they're not real left-wing, the pan-leftists and the far-right Nazis, both then have the pretension, this is the best part, of calling their incestuous masturbatory slop high art.
High art that they use to acquire some kind of snobbishness around.
Ow!
I'm a true based right-winger traditionalist.
You know, I saw some faggot say that, ow, Haas is a barbarian Phoenician.
He's barbar.
Shut the fuck up, you bitch.
You're a faggot and a pussy.
Some neo-Nazi bitch was saying this.
Haz doesn't know true art and true taste and AI he didn't even read my shit and he's he's acting like he's an aristocratic high class mob we will hang you bitch
Guillotine!
I'm on some Robespierre time, you fucking bitch.
I will humble you.
Just like Genghis Khan humbled people behind their cities and behind their walls.
Don't fuck with me.
In a video game, I'm not being like literal.
We're not actually going to do it.
I'm saying spiritually, that's what we're about.
I'm a barbarian.
Of course, I'm a fucking barbarian.
You think I'm a faggot like you wearing a powdered wig?
I am a barbarian.
Let's talk.
I'm sick of people hiding behind walls.
Israel hides behind walls.
I'm sick of people hiding behind walls.
I want to besiege these walls.
That's what's in my.
Yeah, I'm a barbarian.
That's what's in my Mongolic ancestral DNA that I just made up right now, but I feel in my heart.
You understand?
I'm going to break this shit down.
Hiding behind that shit, acting like you're tough, acting like you're not tough, like you're better than others.
Fuck you.
You ain't shit.
You need to be humbled.
Yeah.
I'm a goddamn Ottoman warrior with a Dardalius gun, or whatever that shit was called, besieging your walls, bitch.
Bring that shit collapsing down.
He said you could never be a true aristocrat with true aristocratic taste.
Okay, show me your aristocratic taste.
Look at this painting!
This trad painting of a tree!
And there's a fucking apple on the tree!
And there's a I don't fucking know, shut the fuck up.
Look at this trad painted Look at this statue Look at this statue
Yeah, that's true aristocratic taste, right?
The real aristocrats of history, like the actual ones, hated.
They hated.
aristocracy.
That's the truth.
You can't be an aristocrat if you're jacking yourself off like a bitch.
The true aristocrats stay humble and don't forget where they come from.
You know who the aristocrats were?
They were warriors.
Those were people who fought, bled and died in wars and battles.
You want to know
What made them so aristocratic?
Because they were about it, bitch.
Because they were standing on business.
They weren't sitting here jacking themselves off, feeling they were unconditionally superior to others.
They lived by the sword and they believed any day now they could die by the sword.
That's what it means to be a real fucking high, you know, big shot.
You understand?
You stupid bitch.
You need to learn that.
You'll never learn it.
Uh
They'll never learn it.
We are living in the era of AI.
You know, AI is a
is just revealing the truth of the society we already live in.
The aggregation of big data to produce patterns and meaningful results.
That is literally, literally,
Literally what socialist civilization is about.
Socialist civilization isn't when some guy comes up and says, I represent all people socially.
No, you're an individual.
You don't represent the whole social reality 'cause you're an individual, right?
Real socialist civilization is when we recognize and acknowledge the social the common reality that we have, that we're produced inadvertently, indirectly, in a way that's not the direct result of an individual will,
But which is an inadvertent common reality that underlies everyone's will, right?
And when we recognize that, we recognize the pattern.
That binds us together, that's socialist civilization.
So that's what AI is.
You know, people are like, Well, AI is just going to recycle its content so much.
And I mean, first of all, you're just talking about AI art.
Second of all, that's not true.
And even if it was true,
Who is stopping people from continuing to doodle and draw and paint or whatever?
No one.
It's just that stupid entitled people feel like they should be compensated for things they didn't even earn.
You know, I hate this stupid dichotomy, AI and humanity.
What are you talking about?
AI is meaningless outside the context of humanity.
This is one of the problems with Landianism and the Landian ideology.
Nick Land was wrong.
Landianism did not deserve to have the resurgence that it did after 2016.
Straight up, didn't deserve it.
We historicize and pay tribute to Nick Land in the 1990s, but this isn't the 90s, okay?
It didn't turn out to be true.
That specific understanding of reality did not turn out to be true.
Okay.
I'll explain why.
A lot of what
Sadie Plant and Nick Land were talking about.
Was this kind of understanding that positive feedback loops
are going to escape the confines of the
of the normative context in which they're entrapped
And there's going to be this kind of runaway acceleration in infinitely many different directions.
This will later influence, you know, OOO object-orient ontology.
But, like, they were talking about how like, you know, there's going to be this rizomatic shattering of the consistency of universal humanity.
You know, techno-capitalism is going to go far off into the direction.
positive feedback loop into AI, climate change in one direction, the unleashing of a multitude and swarm of viruses on the other, mass migration, cultural heterogeneity unleashed, the destruction of all sexual normativity.
Etc., etc.
So it was very much this kind of like all consistent patterns.
Are going to be assimilated into this rhizomatic pure chaos, this heat fucked chaos or whatever, right?
That's not what that's not the zeitgeist of the twenty tens, or even the twenty twenties for that matter.
The zeitgeist of AI in the twenty twenties
And I've talked about this before, the zeitgeist of the 2010s.
Is about how, out of all of this chaos, out of this aggregate, let's call it, there's some kind of singular and consistent pattern which is a negative feedback loop.
It's not a runaway positive feedback loop.
It's a homeostatic negative feedback loop reproducing the consistency of, for example, America in the case of Trump.
Trump's whole thing was that he wanted to.
You know, he wanted to kind of reground the trajectory of America back into its own particularity, one way or another, right?
The European populisms were likewise of the same nature.
So it was not this kind of runaway positive feedback loops.
Now, as far as the nature of how AI works, AI is not
Recursive.
It's not recursive in the sense of being self-conscious.
It's not a mind.
It's not an artificial consciousness.
You guys need to understand something.
Intelligence and consciousness are not the same thing.
Intelligence is about the ability.
to render reality intelligible or discernible,
The ability for distinctions
To be given some kind of, I don't even want to say recognition.
I would rather say distinctions to be given some kind of.
What's the word?
Some kind of uh
Practical responsivity, right?
The ability for distinctions to be uh
operationalized and
given reality, right?
by something other than themselves.
So for there to be an artificial intelligence, that doesn't mean there's an artificial consciousness and there's gonna be like a robot that's like, Hi, I am AI.
You know, I saw this funny Spider-Man and Elsa Gate thing.
Back in the day.
And it was just this Indian guy who put on like a Adolf Hitler.
What do you call it, webcam filter?
Where he could like talk as Hitler, and it was like Hitler, like a floating Hitler head amidst the big background.
He was like, Hello, kids.
I am AI 2.0, and I am here to tell you right now that
AI is not a person.
It's not a personality.
All right.
An artificial intelligence is not a personality.
It's not a person.
Okay.
An art all an artificial intelligence means is something that can
Let's say, discern patterns out of a given set of content.
Okay?
So that's why it's rendering the content intelligible in some kind of way.
It's deriving patterns out of some kind of object.
That's all artificial intelligence means.
What patterns it's going to derive is fully socially determined.
by human beings.
It's just that it's not determined by any of us directly, by our individual will.
You understand?
So that's the significance of AI.
It's not a fucking person.
It's not like, oh, I mean, you know, even Elon Musk does this.
It's like, oh my God, is AI gonna?
One day, turn against humanity, and it's like, what do you mean by that?
How can AI turn against humanity?
The content of AI is humanity at the aggregate collective social level.
So if AI turns against humanity, that's just us turning against ourselves in a way we're not being responsible for.
For example,
Um
And here's another thing we need to ditch.
AI is not just a, this is why it's not just a tool, okay?
The utilitarian paradigm of like, oh, everything's just a tool, and I'm the aristocratic human, and I'm just going to use this thing as a means to fulfill my predetermined ends.
No, that's gay British utilitarianism.
And it's wrong, okay?
AI is not just a tool.
Tools are not just tools.
They participate in determining the content of both what we are and what we seek to produce as our object.
They participate in the realization of what the object is.
Okay?
So AI is neither an autonomous consciousness nor is it a tool.
It's neither of those things.
What AI actually is.
Is a it's an I'm not gonna repeat.
Okay, let me re let me let me uh re let me say this again.
AI is neither j uh AI is not a personality, nor is it just a tool.
It's a new way for humanity to relate to its own existence.
And in particular, the relationship between individuals and the inadvertently social existence that they inadvertently help produce.
So that's what AI actually is.
It's not a personality and it's not just a tool.
To imply that it's just a tool means that we have the conceit of knowing with certainty what our object is.
We don't have that certainty.
The AI participates in many ways in the object.
And I'll explain that, for example.
I want to use AI to make infrared art.
You'll say that, right?
I want to use AI to make infrared agitprop or to make CPUSA 2036 agit prop, right?
Well the content of the infrared agit prop and the content of the CPUSA
2036 adjit prop, a lot of the times, and this is proven, right?
A lot of the times, the content of that.
Is it self-futurism?
It's this like futuristic agit prop where like the form is in the content.
So you're not just using AI, you're actually creating something.
I'm sorry, you're participating in the realization of something in just an honest way.
That's why our shit is honest, right?
When we have infrared adjust prop that y'all are making with AI, usually it's like at least a little futuristic and it contains and depicts a reality itself affected by AI.
That's why we are an art project, bitch.
Because we're uniting the form and the content.
Like the output of what we're making with AI.
is propaganda for AI itself.
It's propaganda at least f that depicts or recognizes a reality that has been irreversibly affected by AI.
So it's not just a tool, because the reality itself has been irreversibly affected by the tool, right?
Therefore, the content of what we seek to give expression to has been inadvertently affected by the very means by which it's realized.
It's a perfectly dialectical answer to the stupidity of utilitarianism.
Visit Dad, what's up?
What's up, Visidad?
Um
Peop people are so stupid, they're like AI could never possibly produce art 'cause it's empty and soulless.
And it's like it's so stupid.
AI is not producing art, we are curating with our sensibilities outputs which taken together in a thematic way is artistic.
It's not that the AI is producing the art, that's impossible.
The AI is participating in the realization of art.
Why shouldn't it?
Strelostani, what's up?
They're like, well, well whereas AI just draws from past precedent.
Um individuals contain the infinite mystery of personality, which makes their work of art irreducibly unique.
And it's like, well, isn't the individual mystery of personality also at play in the process of curation and the exercise of aesthetic discretion when it comes to choosing whether the AI output is satisfying your intended result?
Because you could just be lazy.
I mean, this is a big misconception of AI art.
Why does everyone assume that it's like entails laziness?
If you're just as industrious as you are with traditional mediums, if you're just as industrious with AI,
Your output, the what you're capable of producing is so much greater.
And the truth is, most digital real digital artists
Probably are combining AI art with traditional mediums.
They're not solely relying on AI to produce outputs, but they're combining the power of AI with methods already at play.
What's up, Anonymous?
So, what's wrong with that?
Honestly, what's wrong with that?
Nothing.
And it's like, I don't like the way that the AI attaches images to prompts.
Well, it's like, guess what?
Guess who's at fault for that?
We as society are.
What's up, sleeper cell?
Let's say we put in the prompt.
Um
Beautiful man
Right, let's say we put that as the prompt, and the output is like
Some fat, horrific monstrosity.
Yeah.
Who's just hideous, right?
That's not AI's fault.
That's our fault as a society for associating that word with images that look like that.
That's what we've done.
And it's inadvertent that we've produced this, that we've done it in a way where this is the aggregate result, but we're still responsible for it.
So this is why AI is so inexorably connected to society and humanity, you know?
Anything wrong with AI is our fault.
It's not AI's fault, it's our fault.
You understand?
That's what I'm trying to say.
It's only going to give us what we deserve.
AI only gives humanity what it deserves and nothing else.
Only gives us what we deserve.
So if you complain about the result, don't blame the technology.
Blame us.
Blame our civilization.
Blame our society.
Blame our social reality.
Don't blame the technology.
I absolutely love the shit people are saying, like
Oh my god, it's stealing people's labor.
Jesus Christ.
When is it gonna end?
Like, when are we just gonna be free of these like fucking retards?
Why do you need to use Marx's language?
Why do you need to do that?
Like, why?
There's clearly no fucking connection.
Emotional labor.
Why do you need to keep opportunistically dragging Marxism into this?
I don't fucking understand it.
Because you're a weak, pathetic piece of shit who needs to use this reputable old man from the 19th century associated with some of the most powerful states on earth to back up your disgusting, petty bourgeois, degenerate filth, because it would otherwise have no sanction, no credibility, and no authority with which it could justify itself on the basis of.
That's why you have to fucking use Marxism.
And I'm sorry, I'm not here to demonize, you know, or hunt or attack LGBTs.
I'm not here to attack them.
But I'm here to ask the following question.
Why is
Why is
Why why is the sexualization of a man's booty hole progressive, but AI is not?
No one's ever explained that.
Why are we reactionaries for being critical of the LGBT movement
But you're not a fucking reactionary for opposing new technologies.
I don't get it.
Why did why is it pro why am I a reactionary if I'm skeptical of chopping off children's dicks?
But you're not a fucking reactionary for literally trying to resist and react to actual fucking historical progress.
I don't get it.
Do you know what I mean?
How does that fucking make sense?
Why are we the reactionaries?
What is reactionary?
Infrared is reactionary.
Why?
I'll be because they're critical of the LGBT movement.
And you know what?
What's up, Sleeper Cell?
Let me tell you something.
In good faith, here's what I'll say.
In good faith, I'll be like, you know what?
Maybe what they're trying to say is that if you're unable to recognize how new relationships of production have changed sexuality, you're a reactionary.
I agree with that, but all I'm trying to say is that both the right wing and the LGBT movement are reactionaries.
To these new relationships of production.
The new relations of production aren't erasing our humanity, it's not erasing humanity itself.
This is what this is what we need to start doubling down on.
They're literally the reactionaries.
They're the ones reacting to progress, not us.
Okay?
No, it's not progressive to just have decay and decline and incest and metanumy and insulation and just sameness and stagnation.
That's not progress.
That's the opposite of progress.
You know, I understand how there is something that's happened where, you know, sexuality has been irreversibly divorced from any sense of like natural normalcy because of pornography, right?
Because of even just the possibility that there could be all these sexual minorities running around.
So I get that.
Nobody's here trying to literally reproduce the exact.
State of society in the 1950s.
It's not possible.
But that doesn't mean heterosexuality isn't objectively still the norm of humanity.
That doesn't mean, for example, there isn't an objective truth to it that's irreducible to its phenomenalization.
That doesn't mean it's not natural either.
It just means that it's not a given.
And by the way, why should it be a given?
Right?
In no society in history have rights of initiation into adulthood been taken for granted.
To be a man in the Ottoman Empire, you had to fucking get military conscription, right?
To be a man in the Mongols, I don't know, maybe you had to shoot your first bow on the back of a horse or some shit.
And they had different rights of initiation for women as well.
So it's like, it's never been a given, but that doesn't mean there's no natural humanity to it.
So like I don't understand how anyone can call us the reactionaries.
But they're not react.
I mean, I don't I don't get it.
I don't get it.
What is progressive about men sniffing each other's butts?
Can anyone explain?
Can anyone explain what's progressive about men sniffing each other's behinds?
I mean, what's progress?
How is that progress?
Like, how is that?
How is that?
Bringing history forward.
How are women scissoring each other bringing history forward?
How what what is that advancing?
They're having orgasms, okay.
How where so what is that advancing?
Like, what's the result of that?
They're getting off on okay, so what where's the progress?
I don't get it.
How is that fucking progress?
But AI is it?
I don't get it.
I don't get it.
The world's gone mad.
By the way, I don't hate any of these people.
I don't hate them.
I don't have hatred for you.
I just.
Have questions about pan-leftists claiming this is progress.
Why is chopping your dick off progress?
What does that produce?
I mean, if you think about it, it produces less, right?
Because now you can't have kids.
So, there will be no future for your right?
I mean, am I wrong or what?
I feel like that's the opposite of progress.
What do I know, right?
I'm just crazy Haas.
I just yell all the time.
What do I I'm just crazy Haas who yells on the mic every time, but I have to be the one to say it, right?
Imagine if we lived in the nineteenth century and like some guy invents the steam engine.
And then people are like, that's not progress.
That's not progress.
You know, pederastry is real progress.
That's not progress.
The new trends in the French court where they're wearing the powdered wig in this way instead of this way, that's true progress, right?
The new pederastry practices of molesting children, that's the real progress, not the steam engine.
Like, that's the equivalent of what we're living in now.
Right?
And I'm not surprised they had guillotines and shit back then.
I'm just saying.
I'm not surprised.
Like, how else do you fucking respond to that?
Mm-hmm.
I don't know, I mean some I I get the whole ecological angle where it's like, okay, we've reached the limit of industrial modernity and this notion of turning all of nature into a tool for humanity's own conceit is over.
And I agree about the end of utilitarianism, but industrial modernity doesn't begin or end with utilitarianism, okay?
The extent to which humanity participates in the process of unleashing the productive forces and participates in the transformation and development of nature isn't over.
That has not come to an end.
Why have we taken it for granted?
Not we, but like why have pan-leftists taken it for granted and right-wingers for that matter?
Because keep in mind we are the only technological accelerationist movement.
What about the EAC?
That's not a political movement.
What about the Landians?
That's not a political movement.
We're the only one, okay?
So, like, why has everyone why has everyone foreclosed the future?
That's the real question.
China is pumping so much money into its science fiction.
So much money.
And there's a reason for that because they haven't forgotten the future.
We have.
And that's such a shame.
We just assume it's over.
We just have to listen, you know, there's such a good parable between.
society and us as individuals.
When you get depressed, sometimes you can get in the state of mind of just like, oh, it's all over.
What's the point?
I'm just going to be depressed and mope around, and everything in my life is their fault, and this person's fault, and it's over, and that's over.
And then you can get in that.
I'm sure you guys all have experience at least one time in your life getting that bitch-made mentality, right?
Getting depressed.
But then eventually you fucking realize, hey,
I got shit to do.
There's shit to be done.
Like, my life actually isn't over, and it's literally not over objectively.
Like, I actually have shit to do, I actually have a future.
Whether it's good or bad, I have to embrace it.
That's my future, right?
Same shit going on with society.
We think we've gotten to this point of deep ecology.
Oh, what about nature as a whole?
And listen.
We're killing ourselves, all right?
We're for we're we're we're absolving ourselves of responsibility for the present tasks at hand, facing humanity.
They're real tasks, man.
People need food.
They need to eat.
People need food.
We got diseases to cure.
We have infrastructure needs to be built.
We've got economies that need to be developed.
There's actual things we got to deal with.
Real problems we are facing that we need to solve.
I mean, you can, you can, everyone wants to be in right-wing.
I'm a Nietzschean aristocrat.
I'm.
You always sub-anonymous.
LGBT does not participate in the domestic economy.
This means roughly a five times larger income.
Heteronormative couples that have children have negative income factoring in SNLT.
Yeah.
But I don't know who's oppressed.
But guys, why are right-wingers like, I want to be an aristocratic Nietzschean just like they meant, but motherfucker, okay, okay, but don't you know there's some shit dripping down your leg?
Can you at least go wipe it off?
Like we have problems to deal with.
Like real shit to deal with.
Time has not stopped.
History has not stopped.
There's you wanna be a bass Nietzschean.
F F F F Wow.
Oh man, oh man.
Oh man.
Always gotta happen to me whenever the stream.
is gaining momentum is what happens.
All right.
I want to tell you guys something, alright, because now that this okay, the the it's not even the CIA.
I watched it's not even the CIA, it's not even the FBI, it's literally the Department of Homeland Security that's doing this to us, by the way.
The cybersecurity division of the Department of Homeland Security.
Hi!
Anyway, it's not the FBI, it's not the CIA.
The thing about the FBI is they're all the FBI can do is catch you for doing things illegal.
Now, sometimes they plant evidence and they do things like that.
But if the FBI is on you, then they're working a case against you to prosecute you and throw you in jail.
The CIA.
Uh is mostly foreign facing, but it does per uh participate in domestic stuff.
But most of the domestic stuff got taken over by the DHS.
So I want to address them directly, alright?
Um
Why do what's your what's even you like?
I'm gonna address these agents directly.
Like, what's even motivating you to live?
Are you just getting paid for this job?
Like, it's just your salary?
Like, what makes you motivated to wake up in the morning?
Like, do you care?
Like, what why?
What's the meaning of life to you?
I'm genuinely curious.
Like, do you think you're right?
Because you're clearly not, because in a debate, you would get steamrolled by me.
You know, you're clearly not as smart as me.
You don't have the same grasp of history and philosophy as I do.
Are you at least curious at all?
I mean, what's even motivating you?
Because you know what?
We're living in Gorbachev-era Soviet Union right now.
And honestly, I kind of believe these people don't even like care.
They're not even motivated.
Like, they don't even believe in anything.
Like, this is a country that's about to collapse.
And you're so focused on infrared and Jackson Hinkle.
Why?
What are you fo what's your angle here?
You know?
What's the angle?
Like, what what's motivating you to continue being a crusade against what?
You know?
I don't know.
I'm not angry at them at all.
I'm just asking them like what's the angle?
Yeah, what's motivating them?
I'm just curious, like what 'cause I have a motivation that I wake up every single day for.
Like what is yours, Joe Biden?
Really?
Joe Biden is what motivates?
Are you at least intellectually curious?
Do you even read books?
Do you even care about anything?
You clearly can't be getting paid what do you get paid, 50K um a year?
Yeah.
Just the page I mean, I don't know.
I feel like the Raytheon transgenders are the only motivated ones.
I understand them.
They have a motivation.
The Raytheon transgenders are like, if I keep doing this, then I will be a woman.
And they at least have the motivation of defending some identity that they have, right?
That they're very insecure about.
So I understand that.
I understand.
The only thing protecting my identity is liberalism.
I understand that.
It's very personal.
But it doesn't seem it doesn't seem like.
I mean, is that just who we're going to be ruled by forever?
Like, okay, furry, yes, you are a a dog.
You are a cat dog, um, panda bear, you know, whatever.
All right, DHS furry, you are definitely
Uh a man bear pig or whatever you call yourself.
Lay off, we've acknowledged you.
You've been validated.
Don't drone me.
You've been validated.
Is that what we're dealing with now?
'Cause I feel like it is.
Edu is so damn right.
He's spitting fire.
The only motivated ones are the ones who socially have their backs to the wall.
A return to normalcy means their social australization being accepted once again.
That's why the trans and homosexuals and pederasts are the most ardent supporters.
Actually true.
And that's both panleftist and far right, by the way.
Guys, ask me if I'm gaslighting.
If you were observing the internet in the early 2010s, weren't a lot of these deviants associated with the far right back then?
Before the alt-right, talking before the alt-right.
Was it wasn't it always a neo-Nazi thing?
I never saw the transgender Soviet flag.
Until like 2021 or 2022 for that matter.
In the early 2010s, I don't think that existed.
All the tankies were still autistic guys living in Idaho wearing Ushanka hats in their garage.
But back then in the early 2010s, I feel like it was like politically the only thing it was politically associated with was neo-Nazis, right?
Where am I wrong?
Yeah, there was Tumblr.
But Tumblr was mainly like a woman thing or a um femme thing, right?
Not just femcell, there's a lot of normal women on it.
Um
They're both yeah, they were both nerdy groups, I get that.
I get that.
But uh
I don't know.
I don't know.
By the way, I'll tell you about the news going on in Lebanon.
Israel bombed it.
So is Hezbollah gonna respond?
I think they're going to do a proportional response as they see fit.
I could tell you I'm not going to Lebanon this year.
I could tell you that.
Sleeper cell, what's up?
I could tell you I'm not going to Lebanon this year.
Because it is gonna be a war.
And if I do go, I'll never be allowed back in the U.S.
So I'm not going to go, right?
Anyway, um.
I wish I could tell you guys some stuff.
I can't tell you.
Can't tell you.
I can't tell you about this.
But what I can tell you is that
Joe Sizzlak, what's going on?
I love how a lot of people are like AI.
Dude, I used to be.
Like um
Hardcore ruthless
Revolutionary leftist ideologically, right?
In the sense of like no moralism, no compromise, nothing like that.
And one of the th dynamics I really forgot is that
Pan leftists are millennial pan leftists in particular, and I'm on the cusp between millennials, I'm a Zillennial, right?
But
There's something very reactionary about them when it comes to like everything pop culture.
Like their whole thing is always like, oh.
The latest movie?
No, I watched something from the sixties.
Oh.
You shop at that.
It's like this hipster shit.
How is hipster hipsterism not reactionary, by the way?
And and one of the reasons I didn't like tankies like ten years ago was because I associated with that hipsterism of like, oh, the old thing is better.
I just like this thing from the 50s, and I'm like, well, I want to be what they were in the 50s, but for 2024, like.
You know, there's an old dinosaur named Phil Greaves.
I don't know if you've heard of him.
He's kind of a legend, for better or for worse.
Legendary ancient tanky Phil Greaves.
But he's British.
And that's what.
I'm not saying all British people are the problem, but that specific type of British Marxist
He's got a black and white photo of Lenin as his profile picture.
And all he does is like shit on any new technology and say that it's just a tool of further capitalist mind control or whatever, right?
And
I gotta ask him, I'm like, All right, Phil, you've got a black and white photo of Lennon.
You you like black and white stuff, you like older stuff, everything older is better, right?
And I was just asking him, like, but like, back then, like, was Lennon down with shit from, like,
Was Lenin saying that only the past is good from the 1700s?
Like, was it Lenin kind of embracing the future for his time?
You know what I mean?
Like what you're doing is kind of uh
Paradoxical.
Like, if Lenin was alive today, he would be fully AI accelerationist.
Of course, he would.
I mean, look at what the Soviets were doing with F back then, the latest thing was Fordism.
The latest technological paradigm.
It was Fordism.
They were hanging up photos of Henry Ford in their factories.
Um, they were trying to be at the avant-garde of the latest technologies.
And I'm just I'm not and I'm not and I'm not um saying that
You know, this is an endorsement of the Soviet avant-garde, which used to be like my ideology.
You know, it was like a Malovich ideology, right?
I'm not I'm not saying that, although it was necessary probably, the Soviet avant-garde, to destroy modern art.
It was the the good thing about it was the destructive it had on effect it had on high modern art, right?
Um
And I support socialist realism, but I'm just trying to say like
Even socialist realism was very futuristic during its time.
It was a f it was a type of futurism.
The socialist realist depiction of like nature and factories, that was actually like what the Soviet Union was looking like and what the Soviet future was also looking like, right?
Um I'm not a fan of like the Khrushchev era cosmism by the way.
'Cause I think that's kind of a deviation.
It's not grounded.
Uh and it also is kind of reflecting the ideology of the technical
uh you know the technical
Right opportunists from the Bukharan era that wormed their way through, associated with Khrushchev and so on.
But fu yeah.
I don't know, it's like if you're a Marxist, you are a futurist.
Right?
I don't know why that's uh controversial.
And then people are like, okay, Haas, what about your setup?
Why do you have this sword here?
And this dr well, I'll tell you why, alright?
Um
Because Islam is the future, bitch.
Ah, interpret that as you will.
All right, I'm not even gonna say I'm joking.
I'm gonna say from in a certain way, um.
There is a special relationship between Islam and modernity.
That I think is
That makes Islam inherently a futuristic religion, future-oriented.
In Islamic culture, in particular, right?
People say I'm just saying this because of my own background, my own parochial background.
But keep in mind, I became an atheist for a long time and I am sufficiently alienated from my background to like not be have this emotional, personal, one-sided bias.
You know, when I say this, I mean it, you know, I'm not just saying this as a bias.
You know, Haz al-Deen is a universal man.
Which means I'm an American.
I'm literally just an American.
You understand?
I'm an American.
Um
Yeah, I'm an American.
But I'm an American.
I'm here to bring Islam to America.
But in an American way.
You know what I miss?
Debates.
I miss debates.
I miss debates.
Joseph Smith already did that.
Kinda true.
Kinda true.
Debate Mr.
Avi on Israel.
Is the debate era of infrared just done?
Because I feel like we've.
There's no one.
I remember in 2022, like, I tried to debate leftists.
All they would do is come on the mic and be like, eh-huh.
And they would meme.
Then I debated Asatar Baer.
He died.
Like he literally is not around anymore.
I don't know.
Um and then I debated Ben Burgess and he is gone.
Who is left for me to debate?
Uh l not any pan-leftists that are left.
I yeah.
Oh, it's always over about overcoming bridges, right?
But there's no bridges to overcome.
any longer on that side.
On that side of the pond, or on the right wing side of the pond, but we're still going to debate the right wing, not to build bridges, but to uh.
to assert dominance.
But I always rem I always forget the fact, and this is just the sad Richard Hanania.
I would love to debate that guy.
I would love debating that little freak.
That little freaky, freaky guy.
He's the one he's the worst, worst poster child for futurism.
Richard Hanania and these Silicon Valley creepy freaks and the EAC crowd.
Are what's turning the people against AI?
We need to have a people's AI because that Richard Hanania reptilian lizard-looking motherfucker.
And these Silicon Valley creepoloid, um, EAC people who are just like
like robots pretty much.
Not the vibe.
Definitely not the vibe.
Definitely not the vibe.
But
I'll be down to debate that guy.
Yuval Noah Harirgi.
It's another one of these robots.
Who just like f f they're you know, they're you call them formal.
This is the difference.
Infrared is futuristic, but we're not formalists.
We're not like these propositional logic lords.
Who are Philistines.
We actually are spiritual.
We're we're actually exploring the spiritual dimension of AI.
When you think about it, and it's like sum up infrared in one sentence.
Like historically.
And isn't it kind of like infrared is exploring the spiritual dimension of AI?
Doesn't that sum it all up in such a simple way?
We are exploring the spiritual dimension of AI.
That's what it is.
Infrared is spirituality in the age of AI.
'Cause like you can interpret spirit as like, you know, the kind of
The whole um
The whole uh world view.
The whole world view of Marxism-Leninism as a specific, meaningful kind of ideology.
It's not an ideology, but you get the idea, a total integration of history.
That's spiritual in nature, right?
Uh our appreciation for the civilizations of mankind and the history of mankind and religions and so on and so on.
We're not coming at it from like the trad.
LARPER perspective, we're coming at it from like the AI perspective.
We are reintroducing the spiritual dimension to AI, reintroducing culture to AI.
Ah, Gizek would never debate me, and I have nothing to debate Michael Hudson about because he's actually right.
I don't know if you guys know that, but um
I actually endorse Michael Hudson's
view of things, you know.
Richard Wolfe.
You know what?
What what what what what is what has Richard Wolfe contributed?
I'm Richard Wolfe, and I'm gonna tell you about you need to understand that when we have cooperatives, that's the way to overcome capitalism.
And I'm like, damn.
So what has he contributed?
I don't hate him.
I'm just saying, like, what's the big what's the big deal with Richard Wolfe?
I know he's kind of introducing people to Marxism, right?
When, but he doesn't hold a candle to Michael Hudson.
That's what I'm trying to say.
Michael Hudson is in a whole different league.
Okay.
Michael Hudson, I'm reading him now from my book.
Okay.
That's how important he is.
Hudson is a genius.
Mark Fisher
Um
I don't agree with him about anything, but I don't want to.
I don't.
I'm not going to insult Mark Fisher because he's not alive.
And I'm not this type of person to insult the dead.
He's never, I've never seen him or heard of him doing anything evil or anti-human.
So I'm not going to denigrate him and insult him because he's actually dead.
And.
You know, I I you have to be somewhat respectful and have limits and not just insult people who aren't even around to defend themselves.
Bring Reza on.
I don't think he would approve of any of this, to be honest.
But that's okay.
I don't take it personally.
But I'm actually kind of scared to if I knew what he thought of this whole thing.
Probably not a very good opinion of it at all.
But that's okay.
I don't take it personally.
Anyway, um.
But everyone I'm w uh, everyone should read Intelligence and Spirit.
Because that actually is about AI.
You should read it.
It's a good book.
See, there's some people, like, for example, Nassim Nicholas Tollepp.
Uh you seem to share views about the progression mystery.
How are we basically recycling things with the past and the present?
And this time is not progressing.
Huh?
What are you talking about?
You gotta clarify.
What I was trying to say is the Patreon QA.
Alright, I'm gonna check it and if if there's uh
If there's actual like enough people We're long overdue on that.
Holy shit.
We are long overdue.
On the Patreon Q and A.
There's only twenty two questions, but you know what, we're gonna I'm gonna do it.
Anyway, the last thing I was gonna say before we get into the Patreon Q and A.
Carlos from Midwestern Marks.
I did talk to him.
I talked to him the other day, and I think he's brilliant, and I want to talk to him more.
Now as far as when you guys are going to see a discussion with us, that is going to be in the works.
But I'm at we're you know,
Carlos is very, very brilliant.
I'm very impressed by him.
And.
You know, we should have we should have had this talk earlier, like like years earlier.
We should have collabed way earlier and got to know each other way earlier because it's pretty much like um what is it called?
When uh when it's e when there's a species that's evolving.
What is it called again?
Um
You know how, like, crabs constantly keep getting invented by nature, but from completely different species?
What is that called?
There's a word for it.
What's it called?
Nobody knows the word.
Convergent evolution.
That's like infrared in Midwestern marks.
There's a lot of convergent evolutionary characteristics.
Like we didn't know each other.
Uh but we were coming from very similar backgrounds.
And dealing with the same questions.
Anyway, let me start the Patreon Q and A.
Hello guys, it's the Patreon Q and A.
Blackpack, what's going on, man?
When America is industrialized, how do we avoid the famine typically associated with this transition?
Very good question.
We were still integrated with the world market.
We weren't isolated from it like the Soviets and the Chinese were.
And what that also means is that
Uh we had a lot of capital investment from foreign capitalists.
That's pretty much the TLDR.
Mira, what's going on?
Can you talk a little about your relationship with God?
You know, I I don't feel like I can because how would I know?
Like my relationship with God, I don't know what God has in store for me or what He thinks of me.
Um
You know, when we talk about a relationship with God, maybe you're saying my relationship with the the thought of God or the idea of God or the feeling of God.
And I like to keep it private.
You know, I don't there's something about talking about it in public, uh, off the top of your head, unprompted, without a specific emotional context that I think is inauthentic.
I'm not saying it's completely a private matter.
I'm just saying, like.
It's not a rationalistic thing where you're just like certain in the sense of rational conscious certainty.
It's more of a intuitive certainty, you know?
Americans invented techno, interesting name.
Uh thanks for being a patron.
What, in your view, is the role of music in the revolution?
What is communist music?
Any artists' recommendations?
I've thought about that a lot and um
I kind of look at sports as an example of spontaneous masses breaking into song in a way that's not cringe.
So like when there's like a football game and everyone's like Na na na na na hey hey it's kinda pr it's probably gonna be like shit like that, you know, like.
That's like uh like like like that's probably how it would look like.
Like a communist army or like communist masses at a rally, uh singing probably will be like that.
As far as music composed for c uh communist reasons,
It's interesting because hip-hop
I think consci I'm a I'm I'm not a fan of conscious rap or conscious hip hop.
Uh so probably we would just take like folk you know that Trump train song?
Trump's on a rollin', it's gonna get better.
Uh probably just like drawing from American folk songs.
And it'll it'll be for all ages, you know, that kind of thing.
I don't know.
But it's interesting, the EFF does make their own music, that's really interesting.
But also music has a different significance in South Africa than it does here.
Okay, death metal is absolutely
Not going to have anything to do with the revolution, all right?
I it's just not going to happen.
Winged Hussar, what's going on?
Like, no, conscious rap is like, you gotta understand that you gotta be awake, cause you're not thinking about the system and got them in the wake.
And then you gotta realize how they're getting us, and we gotta come together, ban another bust.
Put it, and it's like, damn, dude, can you chill?
There's something about that that just doesn't hit the same way.
It's like a song that's like I flush a bitch down the toilet, I close the lid.
I don't know, like there's s I just made that up.
There's something about that that don't hit the same as like, I push my grandma down the stairs because she's trying to get in my way.
I'm a true thug walking out the, you know what I mean?
Like, I don't know.
Something about that don't hit the same as like, you know
At the grocery, you know, like every time there's bars, it's always like some shit that hits.
But like
Honestly, Ice Spice
When she's like
You think you're the shit?
You ain't even the fart.
It's like, I never thought of it that way.
You know what I mean?
When T Grizzly is like
Wendy's chicken sandwich over fucking Popeyes.
I'm like, you know what?
There's something to that.
But like conscious rap, you can't do that, you know?
You just can't.
There's no way to do it like consciously.
It's gotta be like, oh shit, I didn't even think of that, you know?
But when someone is like that, the problem with conscious rap is the whole lyrics are, you ain't never thought of this because you are asleep.
You didn't get your education.
It's like, damn, okay, you're punishing me.
T Grizzly's not punishing me.
He's actually like.
He's evoking thoughts and feelings I ain't, you know, I ain't I never paid attention to before.
Like how Wendy's chicken sandwich is better than Popeye's, you know?
Uh Kanye.
Yeah, it's a I don't know.
Oh no.
Um
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, it's there.
But I don't know, is that rap?
Winged hussar, what's going on?
And what way are cities exploiting the countryside today and how does socialism address this?
Uh the f pro the first way is debt.
It's always how it's been, debt since ancient times.
So debt.
Uh that's the first
Way
The second way is probably um
Extracting resources from there, you know, the core periphery dynamic, it's usually something that goes on.
Uh another way is um
backward forms of productive relations, forming a bedrock and a premise of
Urban uh accumulation, that's another way.
For example, like like the the backward methods of production and primitive uh outdated methods of production in the countryside form a uh foundational basis for the revenues generated in the urban core.
The best example of this is uh fossil fuels and oil, by the way.
You know, cities, all their revenues come from oil, right?
Where is that produced?
Who's digging it out?
You know, so yeah, that's just a very rough, rough, rough same thing with coal.
Avant, what's going on?
What does the Iranian Revolution mean for Marxism, or what does Marxism clarify about the Iranian Revolution?
Mm.
Interesting.
The Iranian Revolution means for Marxism
That um
Something that is very confusing to explain.
But it means for Marxism that Marxism, I don't want to say this in a way that sounds pretentious.
Let me, how do I simplify this?
It means for Marxism that
That the premise from which we begin, which is a mode of production defined by a totality of social relationships, has a degree of particularity and specificity
Which itself
is an object of consciousness.
Politics
and history for a p a given people.
They don't you it's not just you have uh different classes, you have different relationships to the totality from which different classes refer, and the specificity of that relationship.
When taken to its conclusion, when understood consciously, is itself something revolutionary.
Islam is revolutionary in that context itself.
Inclusive all of all the classes that are encompassed by the Islamic civilization.
Why?
Why is recognizing the
It's more complicated than just this kind of Dugan-like um
Acknowledgement and recognition of the specificity of civilization.
But nonetheless, why is this kind of receptivity to
The particular
Uh why is that revolutionary in and of itself?
Because basically it's a specific form of communism.
It's the content of the communism.
In the first place, communism by itself is just an empty form.
What is the communism?
You know, what is that actually?
And
With this kind of revival of revolutionary Islam.
There's a specific awakening.
To the
determinate nature of this commons
You know, whereas you have with the French Revolution, just one revolutionary event that mobs and masses of people are getting caught up in and participating in.
In the Iranian Revolution,
You don't just have a responsivity to some new event, to some new kind of um
Thing being thrusted upon you that demands an exact and direct response.
You have um
You have an event, yes.
but which it imposes a particular relationship upon those receiving its calling and those who are receptive to it.
One that encompasses the extent of how of their lifestyles, of how they uh make sense of their particularity, the meticulous particularity of their way of life.
It's not just one sudden rush of passion, of history.
It's.
History uh um recursively
Referring to itself.
And this recursivity itself becoming an event.
that people recognize
and are compelled by
and are awakened to.
It's really about that awakening, you know?
Um that's the whole key to the whole thing.
What was Marxism previously asleep?
What was it sleeping on before that now in Iran there was an awakening with regard to?
That's the real question.
I mean that's really it.
Word solid and what's going on?
Uh for you, how do right wingers compare to the community of children you describe Western internet leftists?
Uh I guess they're the bad kids who like are s um
Tearing apart flies with tweezers and torturing cats and shit.
But I think it's very similar.
But the yeah, very similar.
What is a comrade?
I guess it's someone with whom you're engaged in a struggle alongside with in a militant manner.
Um
You know, s a comrade in arms, it's always in arms.
Even if not literally an armed struggle, it's like...
You're united with them by a common struggle.
I think it's simple, right?
Uh, winged.
Once again, do you think Nietzsche is liberal metaphysics taking to its full logical inclusion?
I don't know what you mean by liberal metaphysics, it's not necessarily
Uh much of Nietzsche is o is is between liberalism and the rotted necrotic ancient regime.
What is the philosophical connection in continuity between Nihilism and Hitler?
There is none.
Hitler is not a philosopher.
So there's an in there's a relationship between the development of nihilism within philosophy and perhaps the n development of nihilism in political reality.
But I think it's nebulous to draw a direct connection between philosophy and reality, as if there's some kind of causal relationship, or as if reality is downstream from philosophy.
There's a civilizational nihilism, perhaps, civilizational contradiction, which both philosophy, politics and so on are responding to in their own ways.
And there's a parallel, I think, of course, between Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Fascism, but
And there's some intellect direct intellectual connection there, of course, but I don't think I don't think it's it's very direct.
Uh, from a psychological perspective, what do you think about the claim that boob guys have unresolved mom issues?
I
I mean, is that really what we're gonna ask now?
Like.
Do I have to answer that?
You know, like, why do I have to answer this?
'Cause you're I mean, I I mean you you're paying for the Patreon.
Uh I don't think that's fair.
I mean, I don't know.
I I don't know.
I don't think that's I think it's healthy to you know, but but that to the detriment to the complete detriment of the other half, I think maybe that's just a lack of taste.
I don't know if it's mom issues, I just think it's a lack of taste, you know.
You know, you need both.
You need both.
I mean, you don't need both actually.
You just need one.
And the other is optional, right?
Like
You need ice bice.
The rest is opt it's welcome.
It's a great addition, but it's not it's not really decisive, you know?
But one is decisive.
You know, there's
You know, like, um
One is decisive and the other is not.
That's the truth.
I don't know what it is.
I don't know what it is.
Why are some people one way or why are some people like Haas?
I don't know.
But Haas is an ice spice.
Um
Yeah.
I think the idea of Kim K is great.
Like the idea of it.
She's got both.
Like the idea is great.
It's just that the reality ain't what it's chalked up to be.
But the idea is a great...
It's like a great idea, you know?
Anyway, if imperialism was a system in which imperial powers competed for the division of the world, American unique is post-imperial.
Why do we still call U.S.
imperialists?
Because it inherits the imperialist system.
It's the culmination of it.
What will it mean for MAGA communism if MAGA be...
This is all the same guy, by the way.
MAGA becomes captured by the establishment.
We have to start a new movement.
Uh no, we're gonna just have continuity.
We're never erasing our past or our history.
We're just gonna respond to it accordingly.
We will be the true successors to the flame.
Period.
What do you mean, WrestleMAGA back?
We're going to win the blue-collar working class.
No matter if they're a MAGA or something else.
Avant, when people in what's up, Vaughn, thank you for being a patron.
People in the 21st century use uh uh so many different terms.
How can Communists clarify the reality without defaulting to dogmatism?
Just follow the money.
Right.
Do a materialist analysis and literally, like, okay, what is funding this hegemonic power?
What's keeping it going?
Benign, can you talk about your thoughts on Carthage?
Were they fishermen?
Good question.
Thanks for being a patron, by the way.
Good good question.
I don't know if they were fishermen.
It kinda seems like they were half fishermen, half farmers.
Maybe the fisherman aspect is what led them to ruin.
Orvo!
What's going on?
Can you respond to the claim that Soviet soldiers raped German women?
Is it true?
If not, where do these claims come from?
Um
I don't think it happened on a scale larger than with the other allies.
So I'll say that.
I I think it's very exaggerated, yeah.
I think it's extremely exaggerated in in a racist way to depict, you know, Soviets as uh wild untermenschen
I mean, it it it happens in war, but it's not justifiable at all.
They they shot when people were caught, they'd get shot for doing that.
But, um
I don't I don't think it it's I think it's over exaggerated, yes.
Word Saladin, is your current understanding of dialectics represented in the yin yangsi?
Well, no.
If not, how would you say your understanding differs?
Because the yin yin sym symbol is just one form.
Dialectics is about a dialectic of content and form.
No one form can uh be the privileged receptacle of rep uh or or representation of that.
Talent site.
Thank you so much for being a patron.
When it comes to industrial workers in the U.S., there are two groups: highly skilled, low-skilled, maybe a third.
What would it mean to reach out to the former group, were they not a priority?
Where should we look to form our base of support?
We I I actually think we should probably just read what American communists like Foster s had to say about the matter before and and um study that and and see if that still applies or or maybe the logic b distill the logic behind it.
But to be honest, I don't know who we should start with.
'Cause you need a core and then you need to have a mass base, but I don't have enough experience.
Orville, how would you respond to American Christian who's skeptical of communism because how the USSR cracked down on Christianity in the early period of the Soviet Union?
No.
Uh I would say that
I would say that Soviet communism was an educational experience.
And that it's very possible to acknowledge mistakes were made that were learned from later on, and we can now learn from now.
Which don't which it would be unfair to say that those mistakes amount to the essence of the whole phenomenon.
Rome also persecuted Christians.
And then Rome became Christian.
Tallinsite, can you speak on the importance of democratic struggle for Lenin in the form of it to day?
Uh I think Stalin outlined it in his last speech.
For the for Lenin, the importance of the democratic struggle was creating the proper context with which to wage the proletarian class struggle without the fetters of feudalism.
Because uh proletarian class struggle presupposes the victory of democracy.
Anyway, uh Stalin rightly regarded the democratic struggle to be the defense of
Our basic constitutional and civil rights against the tide of this imperialist state machine, which wants to violate it and throw out our rights out the window, our classical liberal rights.
So, we should defend those.
Wallo, thank you so much for being a patron.
In earlier stream, you talked about Eurocentrism of Lenin, how that affected his decision making.
How does that differ from Stalin and Mao, who and what lessons can we take from that distinction?
Stalin had an acutely better grasp of the national reality.
And the view that um
The view that uh
a deep respect for history,
and the totality of history.
He couldn't have the one-sided Eurocentric view because he had to take into account
the inclusivity of Russia within that European history
But Mao altogether
Is going beyond the frame of reference of um the story of Europe.
And Mao um
Mao is rediscovering Marxism in many ways, totally from scratch, unattached to the vestiges of European social democracy, whereas Lenin and Stalin were still struggling with that.
I think that's the difference.
Americans Venezuela, what role is m okay, we already asked that.
How does financialization lead to deindustrialization?
Um
Well, it has objectively.
Let's just be clear about that.
But how that happened.
Is more or less the rise of financial monopolies, which are premised on the basis of the accumulations of profit, pure profit, which is obviously indiscriminate toward the means of acquiring that profit, regard the real material premises of production as costs, costs getting in the way of the realization of monopoly or rentier profits.
So they just have to eliminate the costs.
Even if this is devastating the very premises of civilization.
Uh benign, how do you relate to the geopolitical division of land based versus sea based to the political economic division between Whig and Tory?
It depends on the time period.
Sometimes Whigs represented the people and sometimes Tories did.
It was never exclusively one or the other.
Uh and specifically I'm talking about the 1700s.
Between the mercantile Bank of England types of the Glorious Revolution and folks like James Harrington or William Petty, who emphasized land being a source of value.
Again, they flip-flopped a lot.
Flip-flopped around historically, that's my understanding.
I'm not familiar with James Harrington or William Petty's uh views at all.
I'm gonna refresh it once
Okay, we have some questions.
Word Saladin, regarding Engels' Dialectics of Nature, what do you think Engels would say about the new developments of natural science?
He probably would have had a lot to say about modern physics.
Um, and dialectics.
Violet, thoughts on Kotsky.
The Kotsky lobby in IgG is growing.
It's going to be purged and stamped out.
Is German imperialism based?
Thoughts on Bismarck?
It's not based.
Bismarck is not
Bismarck is uh ca is that is that it Lenin's imperialism?
Not sure.
Lenin thought Bismar I sorry, Marx and Engels thought Bismarck was progressive because he was uh unifying the German nation state.
There's nuance to it, you know?
But that is roughly corresponding to the rise of imperialism.
So it's not that he it's based, he's based.
It's you have to properly understand its historical significance and not be one-sided.
Closed Society, what do you think is the great American novel?
The, I don't know, I can't tell you that.
Some of them, Call of the Wild, love it.
I love Mark Twain as well.
The Iron Heel as well.
Jack London in general, you know.
Just constantly motivated what's going on.
Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck.
It's really important.
You know, depression era.
Proletarian literature.
Last question: If I made a woman's caucus.
I didn't, but if I did, would you sanction and support this?
I promise to keep them in line.
No Gaga 2.
I mean, I mean, I mean, there's no rule against it, but it's like.
Is it really like uh I I don't know.
I'm not even gonna question it.
Like
Like, it does just do do women not also have beef?
Like, just being a woman is what unites you?
I mean, I don't know if that makes sense to you.
Go ahead.
Not going to stop it.
Anyway.
Anyway.
Alright guys.
We ended that.
It was only thirty minutes.
Okay.
Are you fucking kidding?
Patreon can only handle two hundred megabytes.
Yeah, that's fucking great.
Let me try to edit this.
Uh okay, let me see.
Jesus, what can I do to like fucking trim this down?
Trin
Hello
Help design.
You have to properly understand its historical significance, not be one sided.
Close Society, what do you think is the great American novel?
The I don't know, I can't tell you that.
Some of them, Call of the Wild, love it.
Okay, I don't know how I'm gonna upload this to the Patreon.
I'll deal with that later.
I have to, like, convert it.
Shit.
That is such bad fucking luck they're starting to do this.
Why are they so cheap?
They're so cheap.
Patreon.
They're like
Yeah, it's too big.
What?
Oh, it worked.
It did work.
Alright, it's uploading.
Anyway.
