Clown World Chronicles: What Is A 'Chimpout'?

Clown World Chronicles: What Is A ‘Chimpout’?

Some of the most graphic images of recent times have come from the rioting sparked by the killing of George Floyd. The sight of rocks and sticks smashing into human skulls evokes primal feelings of horror. These primal feelings are capable of evoking other primal feelings, and when there are enough of these, a total chimpout is possible.

Primatologists have long been aware of the propensity of chimpanzees and monkeys to become over-excited. Because primates are highly social animals, we are susceptible to emotional influence from others of our kind. When one of us feels an emotion, it’s common for others nearby to come to feel it as well. This is true of joy, of anxiety, of sociability – and of rage.

When enough mutual excitement goes through a group of primates, they can appear to lose their minds completely. Certain monkey troops, upon encountering human outsiders, will shriek loudly, retreat to the treetops, and begin to fling their feces at the intruders. Chimpanzee troops can also become extremely aggressive quickly when meeting others.

This mob mindset is biological. Primate troops that quickly became excited and aggressive when observing novel stimuli were better adapted to dealing with threats to their territory or safety. As such, they survived and reproduced more effectively. When in doubt, it’s much better to chimpout than to be caught passive and on the back foot.

It isn’t much different for us hairless primates.

Wise men love to point out that human civilisation is by no means a deeply-rooted institution. No-one can remember who said it first, but it’s often been stated that society is only nine meals away from a revolution. Machiavelli observed that human nature has never really changed from the beginning of history. It seems that, at the bottom of our hearts, few of us are fully convinced that civilisation is a good idea.

For one thing, the human animal is still a primate. Although human brain capacity has rapidly evolved since we split off from the other apes, the architecture of those brains is basically the same. As with the other primates, the human animal evolved to survive in a world where physical threats were common and often demanded immediate and extreme action.

Under enough stress, the brain circuitry that evolved to make us more effective pack fighters on the plains of Africa can spark to life again. Human history has been so violent that the old chimpout circuitry has never gone away. There has never been any real selective pressure against it, because those who could not chimp out kept getting killed by those who could.

Understanding this brain circuitry is the key to understanding when and why chimpouts happen.

The recipe for a chimpout begins with increased excitement on the part of an individual, perhaps because they have spotted or anticipate an enemy. If that individual’s increased excitement becomes contagious, and begins to heighten the excitement of the individuals around them, then it becomes a social phenomenon.

Should the excitement become so great that members of the group start to lose their composure, and then if no leader among them settles them down, a chimpout is underway.

The definition of a chimpout is when all pretence to civilisation is suddenly abandoned by a large group of people. In popular language, a chimpout is a term that describes the onset of mob mentality. It’s when a large number of people become a hooting, hollering horde, the higher functions of their brain having shut down.

Chimpouts tend to be destructive. The rioting that followed the George Floyd killing in May 2020 led to the destruction of dozens of American inner cities. The Parisian chimpouts of 2005 saw thousands of cars set on fire. That veneer of civilisation, thin though it may be, suppresses some very malicious impulses.

Implicit in the idea of chimping out is that one gives vent to one’s basest and most venal instincts. One takes the opportunity afforded by the cover of the crowd to indulge in temptations that one would otherwise resist. This involves actions like throwing bricks through windows, setting cars on fire, looting, robbing and beating people.

Psychologists consider chimping out to be an example of mass hysteria, or mass psychogenic illness. It’s a subset of what is known as herd mentality. Humans are not sheep, but much of the brain wiring that makes sheep behave the way they do is shared with other mammals. Most social animals are capable of chimping out in some sense, but in primates the potential for excitation is much greater.

The primal nature of the chimpout is evident from what triggers them. In Clown World, news of a pedophile gang that raped 1,000 young girls will not cause a chimpout, but if a white Police officer kills a black man in the process of making an arrest, then it’s time to park your car off the street.

The more depressed, desperate and nihilistic a population is, the more liable it is to chimp out. The simple rule is that the less a person has to lose, the more willing they will be to engage in mindless destruction. Young, disenfranchised males, especially low-IQ ones or ones with histories of childhood abuse and neglect, are the most prone to do so.

The nature of Clown World means that the threat of chimpout is ever-present. One lives in dread of the next act of Police brutality, because the social environment is tinder-dry and any spark could cause a flashfire. Worsening economic prospects raise the terrifying prospect of the Chimpout to End All Chimpouts.

Clown World Chronicles: What Is An ‘Ethnostate’?

The term ‘ethnostate’ comes up again and again, and it will come up even more often as Clown World intensifies. People like talking about whether instituting one is possible, and they like arguing about who would be let into one if it existed. This article tells you what you need to know.

Of all the thoughtcrimes that people get accused of nowadays, being a racist is the worst. Of the all the racist thoughtcrimes one can commit, the worst is supporting an ethnostate (one would think that supporting genocide would be the worst, but in Clown World overt hatred is sometimes not considered actual hatred, for reasons mysterious).

An ethnostate is a country where citizenship is limited to members of one particular nation or ethnicity. The countries of Europe started out as ethnostates, as did most of the nations of the Old World. It’s only in empires, such as Rome or the countries of the New World today, where different races are tasked with living in harmony.

America is not an ethnostate, and nor is any other Western nation today. As such, the concept only exists as an ideal – one that existed in the past, and which some wish would exist in the future.

The ethnostate is usually thought of as an imagined liferaft that will keep white people safe from The Muttening. This term refers to the continual increase of people with undefinable ethnic ancestry, to the point where Western nations are no longer identifiable separate breeds but rather a mass of mongrels.

In its American conception, the usual idea is that white people would pull back to the Pacific Northwest, this being the furthest away from where the bulk of the blacks and Hispanics live. The reasoning is that this part of North America is so cold and rainy that only white people could handle living there. This would also allow for California to be used as a buffer zone.

In its European conception, the usual idea is that all non-natives will be encouraged to leave, otherwise expelled. An ethnostate will thus be created from within. In principle, it doesn’t really matter where the non-natives are expelled to, but the usual idea is “back to the Middle East and Africa.”

The Alt Right, in particular, is obsessed with the idea of an ethnostate, believing it to be the solution to most of society’s problems. They believe in resegregation, which would entail American whites and American blacks living apart from each other. For the Alt Right, blending together different human groups is a recipe for social chaos. Segregation is as necessary to good order as private property laws.

They are particularly fond of quoting crime statistics that demonstrate black Americans committing homicide at a much higher rate than white Americans. “13/52” is a popular phrase, referencing the fact that blacks make up some 13% of the American population but commit some 52% of the homicides. Multiple studies show that American blacks are some six times as murderous as American whites.

They are also fond of quoting sex crime statistics. In Sweden, native Swedes make up some 97% of victims of sexual homicides but at most 58% of the perpetrators. A Norwegian study found that 36% of rapes in Norway are committed by men born outside of it. Another study showed that the number of first-generation immigrants in a European country was significantly positively correlated with the number of rapes in that country.

The Alt Right argues that if Western nations would simply get rid of all their non-whites, everything would be golden. Removing this 10-15% of the population would reduce by half the number of sex crimes and homicides, they argue.

It’s certainly true that there are scientifically documented disadvantages to a lack of cohesion.

As Aristotle described, a lack of commonalities leads to infighting within groups that would otherwise be harmonious. Diversity leads to factionalisation, which is when one subgroup starts putting its own interests above that of the wider group. This inevitably leads to everyone else doing the same, meaning that overall social solidarity and trust are lessened.

Even worse, diversity gives tyrants the ability to play factions of the people off against each other. Aristotle noticed already 2,300 years ago that multicultural societies were inevitably ruled by tyrants, as their inability to agree on anything was exploited by demagogues. It’s often as simple as favouring one group unfairly, and the whole population can be induced to fight itself.

Despite all this, problems with the ethnostate idea are multiple.

For one thing, many non-whites occupy a lowly niche in Western societies that would otherwise be filled by whites. In Western countries, there’s a need to completely shit on one segment of society, so as to induce the others to stay in line. This is usually the cheap labour segment, which must necessarily be filled by whites in any white ethnostate.

This is true at the other end of the scale as well. If all of the Jews were kicked out of the West, the niches that they currently occupy would end up being filled by white people. Evidence for this comes from the fact that Japan and South Korea have also descended into Clown World, in many ways even worse than what the West has. But Japan and South Korea already are ethnostates, with hardly a Jew to be seen anywhere.

Even more crippling to any ethnostate proposal is the fact that, even with a will to institute one, the existing presence of mixed-race people would make it impossible to draw ethnic boundaries that could be agreed upon. Apartheid in South Africa had the advantage that whites and blacks were distinct people. But in America, the number of mixed-race people is so great that no clear lines could possibly be drawn.

If there is to be any hope for future dreams of an ethnostate, it might have to be run on a Selectionist basis. Some dwellers of cyberspace joke about a “Hapa ethnostate”, but the groundwork for one has already been laid in Hong Kong, Singapore, British Columbia, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland and a few other places.

The Elementalist Understanding Of Free Will

The question of free will is one of the classic philosophical dilemmas. Do we have any choice over over our own behaviour? Or are we fated to perform certain actions because of our genes and conditioning? Traditional philosophy has explored a variety of approaches to this question, but Elementalism provides a new one.

The questions above are the basis of what is known as the free will vs. determinism debate.

The free will argument contends that people can do whatever they want to. People have a choice between good and evil, between selfless acts and selfish ones, and if a person’s true will is good they will do good. As such, people who do good can be treated as if their will is good, and vice-versa.

The determinist argument contends that a person’s future actions are restricted to a range determined by, among other things, a person’s genes and their conditioning. People don’t really have a choice about what they do, because they can only motivate themselves to act if the wiring of their brain creates an impulse to action.

This is an important philosophical question because, as alluded to above, the resolution of it determines how certain miscreants are to be treated. If free will exists, then criminals can be punished harshly. If not, then they have to be guided into making the right decisions by behaviour modification.

The Elementalist perspective, as is often the case, is that mainstream philosophy has missed the point entirely.

Elementalists believe that all of us are, fundamentally, individuated consciousness, and that these individual consciousnesses traverse the Great Fractal by way of matching frequencies. To the Elementalist, there is no material world – every individuated consciousness is aware of a set of perceptions, and each set of perceptions exists somewhere in the Great Fractal.

These sets of perceptions change as the frequency of one’s individual consciousness changes. Therefore, to change the world to that which one desires, it’s only necessary to change the frequency of one’s consciousness. This can be done through repeated exertions of pure will.

Because there is no hard material world, there is nothing forcing a human being to behave in any pre-determined manner. There aren’t really any neurotransmitters, or any limbic system, or any instinctual response brain circuitry or anything else involved in decision-making. There is just consciousness and the contents of consciousness. Life is but a dream, through which consciousness passes, forever.

Elementalists believe that anyone can get anything they wish for, whether in this life or in one to come, by matching the frequency of one’s consciousness with the frequency of the part of the Great Fractal in which that thing exists or is happening. In fact, Elementalists go as far as to believe that one inevitably lives a life that matches the frequency of one’s consciousness, whether this is wanted or not.

Accordingly, a person has to be careful about what their true will is – because they will get it.

If a person’s true will is to assert themselves violently over others, they will gravitate to a part of the Great Fractal where the order of reality is the violent assertion of power over others. Sometimes they will benefit from that, and sometimes they won’t – that’s how it goes when you wish for such things.

If a person’s true will is order, then they will get order. They will end up in a part of the Great Fractal where chaos is minimised. A person who ends up in such a place might not like it on account of that they find the order suffocating. In such a case, this will be reflected by their true will, leading to a change in the frequency of that person’s consciousness, in turn leading them to another part of the Great Fractal.

If a person’s true will is peace, their frequency will come to reflect this as it comes to reflect the sum total of that person’s actions in their life. This will cause them to gravitate to a part of the Great Fractal populated by peaceful beings. An individuated consciousness might experience this as bliss – or hellishly boring.

In summary, Elementalists believe implicitly in free will, so implicitly that they strive to perfect their mastery over it. Mastery over one’s true will is mastery over how one navigates the Great Fractal – either one drifts ignorantly through existence or one dances skillfully through.

The Elementalist conception of reality teaches that we are individual fragments of consciousness experiencing the Great Fractal, which we are free to explore in perpetuity. As such, there is no reason to assume any kind of determinism beyond the Seventh Hermetic Principle, or the Law of Cause and Effect.

What that means, in practice, is that one can only move through the Great Fractal at a pace and manner determined by one’s previous actions. The more heavily one’s karma weighs, the more restricted one will be to certain pathways, and the less nimbly one will be able to change direction. One’s karma is, of course, a reflection of one’s previously expressed true will.

Such arguments were no doubt understood by the monk in the image at the top of this page. Although he was a Buddhist, and not an Elementalist, he would have been aware that the material world is illusory and therefore that all sensations are transitory. As such, he would have possessed a great deal of the wisdom that Elementalists aspire to.

Fear Porn In An Age Of Superstition And Ignorance

By DIE SIENER

“The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate. That is to say; when the individual remains undivided and does not become conscious of his inner opposite, the world must perforce act out the conflict and be torn into opposing halves.” – C. G. Jung, Aion (Collected Works 9ii)

As humanity enters a new decade, the sum of our collective fear, superstitions and ignorance has manifested into the smallest of nature’s creatures. A simple virus, just a fraction of a micrometre in length, a small chain of biochemical coding, has triggered the near-collapse of the most complex political, moral and economic system man has ever constructed.

The continuing effects of Corona-chan on our fragile world have been most enlightening. The sheer amount of fear this virus has sparked is sure to leave a deep and lasting impression on humanity. The consciousness of man, his whole paradigm of existence, is eternally changed.

Where could this lead? Let us explore some of the aspects of this transformative event with the aid of the hermit’s lamp.

A virus is a genuine oddity in nature; it exists in the twilight zone, somewhere between the concepts of alive and dead. A virus is incapable of self-replication and does not feed or produce its own metabolic energy. Even though it lacks impetus, within its complex chains of chemical information lies hidden structure and function.

Consider that a virus functions on the principles of attraction. Receptors on the virus’ outer membrane act as a key which fits into the corresponding lock of a target cell’s outer membrane. Once the key finds a lock that matches its specific pattern, the virus enters the cell by chemical subterfuge. Once inside the cell, the information hidden within the virus structure goes about certain practical functions through chemical processes most profound.

This sophisticated chemical program runs within set parameters; it first seizes specific operational components within the cell and then proceeds to replicate itself all while deploying an elaborate chemical camouflage to hide its activities. This process continues until a particular chemical trigger is released.

Now multiplied thousands of times, the virus violently explodes out of the cell and in the process destroys it. The process repeats in this way until the host dies or its native functions find a way to destroy all the infected cells. Once the organism has “learnt” how to identify and kill infected cells, re-infection of the host by the same virus does not typically reoccur.

Now, let us cast these observations into the mirror and reflect on how analogous a virus is to a meme. As with a virus, a meme encapsulates information within a structure that serves a particular function. Furthermore, as with a virus, a meme spreads by way of unlocking the consciousness through mimicry. Inside the mind, it goes about copying itself and then once it reaches a critical mass, explodes out of the host and into the memetic environment.

A most profound revelation can now be found when considering that this methodology, by which a virus or meme propagates, can also be its cause. Using the hermit’s lamp, we see the macrocosm reflected in the microcosm. As such, we can see how the forces which birthed Corona-chan are the very same spiritual forces representing humanity’s pent up anxieties.

Keeping these concepts in mind, let us consider the effects of fear on destiny, and what part ignorance and superstition play in the obfuscation of our destiny.

When the mob governs, man is ruled by ignorance; when the church governs, he is ruled by superstition; and when the state governs, he is ruled by fear – Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages

Some of the ruling elites – best exemplified by Bill Gates, Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg – seek to subdue humanity to a twisted vision of a technocratic and totalitarian future. For the sake of us all, they urge, we need to expand the cages of our captivity and become even more connected in the never-ending pursuit of building a globe-spanning, human-machine.

In their dreams, the individual will become subjugated to the hive mind through technology. The ruling class of technocrats will direct the masses from their lofty heights for the common good. Transhumanism becomes the ultimate goal of humanity, especially the elites, in an attempt to alleviate our collective fear. Look to movies such as The Matrix, Ghost in the Shell or Transcendence as metaphysical critiques of this idea.

Some politicians eagerly support such an outcome and use the Corona-chan induced fear as a trigger to activate mass enforcement of such a memeplex. It is a forgone conclusion, they tell the masses. We will become progressively more integrated, progressively more “unified” as time progresses, it is only a matter of time, resisting this movement is counterproductive and short-sighted. They use fear to herd humanity into this consensus, but our divine soul reacts against this by producing a strong force of repulsion. This repulsion creates a feedback loop, empowering Corona-chan further.

The creeping technocracy illustrates one possible aspect of fear and how our spiritual subjugation to its memes can lead to an undesirable future. There are, however, an infinite number of these memeplexes fighting for dominance. They are all, by necessity, going nowhere – they are all primarily based on fear.

Let us now consider superstition. The MSM is today’s church, our moral leaders, the ones who tell us right from wrong and instruct as in all things ethical. Confronted with the Corona-chan meme, the MSM went into a fear porn inspired gala of superstitious claptrap of the “we are all going to die” variety. It is cringeworthy, to be honest.

For the first few weeks, when the virus was spreading around China, everything was all fine and dandy. Their sermons continued along the usual lines of “checking that racism”, “hugging your local Asian” or “go to Chinatown to eat stir fry, bigot.”

Their usual admonishments of globalist utopianism were not to last once it became clear that the virus indeed posed a real threat to the system on which they feed. The editors faltered a bit but managed to realign their moral compass in short order. They quickly directed their underlings to spew out sermon after sermon of tabloid grade fear porn. Superstition mixed with fear is to be the new drug with which they will subjugate the masses.

Now, yes, the ruling elites and high priests of the MSM are not the only ones to blame. In a world where materialism has become all-encompassing, humanity as a whole has become ignorant of their real purpose. Lost in Maya, the phenomenal world, and dragged down into ignorance by the fears and superstitions of their lower nature, the human race has become lost.

This existential crisis is probably the underlying anxiety from which the Corona-chan meme manifested.

The origins of Corona-chan may be a mystery to some, but others firmly believe that it is the manifestation of these three forces that birthed her into this world. It is now up to us, ordinary people, to decide which way this will go. Will fear, superstition and ignorance overpower humanity completely? Or is there another way forward?

If, as there is ample reason to suspect, the modern Freemasonic Order was profoundly influenced by, if it is not an actual outgrowth of, Francis Bacon’s secret society, its symbolism is undoubtedly permeated with Bacon’s two great ideas: universal education and universal democracy. The deadly enemies of universal education are ignorance, superstition, and fear, by which the human soul is held in bondage to the lowest part of its own constitution. The arrant enemies of universal democracy have ever been the crown, the tiara, and the torch. – Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages

This short passage regarding Francis Bacon’s desire is most illuminating in the context of the discussion above. The uninitiated often ask, “What is our purpose?”, but to the initiated, it seems so obvious. The initiate, through Gnosis, knows that which alleviates all fears, sets aside all superstitions and vanquishes all ignorance. It is through this middle path, this hidden path and centrist philosophy that we can balance the spheres and remain focused on the great work.

Now more than ever, humanity needs to band together against those that want to subjugate our Spirit. We need to stand firm – there is another way, and it is yearning to be manifested.
