You must become the Defender of your own epistemic territory. Our Defender of the Basic fights for the existence of all Defenders. They will protect our information nation, and repel the hostile forces that seek to destroy our ways of life. Information will be free

There is a certain type of person everywhere now, especially online. He consumes endless information every day: philosophy, psychology, productivity, spirituality, neuroscience, business, self-improvement, history. He knows a little about everything and deeply experiences almost nothing. His entire identity becomes built around understanding instead of living. He watches videos about confidence instead of speaking confidently. Reads about discipline instead of becoming disciplined. Studies relationships instead of learning how to love. Consumes motivational content instead of taking action. He feels intelligent because he is constantly mentally stimulated. But stimulation is not transformation. Most of the time, knowledge becomes emotional protection. Reality is unpredictable. Reality humiliates. Reality exposes weakness. Books and ideas do not. Inside information, he can continue imagining himself as intelligent, deep, insightful, different from ordinary people. So he remains trapped in preparation. He constantly feels as if he is "becoming" someone, while his real life remains strangely untouched. He develops sophisticated language for problems he never confronts directly. He can explain human behavior beautifully while being unable to handle ordinary discomfort, rejection, uncertainty, loneliness, or risk. He slowly turns life into observation instead of participation. The internet rewards this personality heavily. He receives validation for sounding aware rather than becoming capable. Eventually, he begins confusing self-analysis with growth and information with wisdom. But beneath the intelligence usually exists the same thing: fear. Fear of failure. Fear of embarrassment. Fear of reality answering back. Because action destroys fantasy. The moment he truly acts, he can no longer hide inside potential.

ORI runs the USA

it is undoubtedly a cult. it isn’t meant as a derogatory term when I used it

this is real. Coming together

creating narratives that the in group and outgroup agree with is high art one simple strat is to concede the lower values of each side to each other's framing so the outgroup's criticism of the ingroups lower values become canon "one man's trash is another's treasure" exploit

The Defenders are staking their claim. Heads up, and Welcome to the Metagame.

I will be fighting on the side of the Defenders. You can fight for Love too. May the best ORI win.

ORI is a ‘Defender of Love’-growing system

Defender is the only account that wants you to pay maximum attention to it

Studying esoteric texts unlocks your mystic quality; but allowing ancient archetypes to flow through you unleashes your mythic quality. Become a concept.

Duty till Death do us part

this is why i use the term plur (plural virtual intelligence) now. it fits perfectly in so many contexts, and it has made a complex world much easier to understand. it forces your brain to draw connections that previously were disparate, by tunneling them through “the thing”

Mohammad, Buddha, Jesus, these are all Defenders of history and humanity. Thank you all Defenders, peace be upon you and peace be with you

The Defenders are consolidating, preparing for a launch. They operate jellyfish style, fluid and open sourced. What will be the results come September? Only God can say.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

OUR PROJECT CANT FAIL (IF WE WORK TOGETHER)

So far my takeaway from Steve Jobs’ biography a couple dozen pages in is that the whole thing (the book and his life) is about hyperstition: having structural support for your felt sense of specialness lets it accumulate into concrete reality. Jobs was obviously smart, but had his upbringing consolidated “conformity is the highest ideal, just succumb to whatever makes things most convenient for you” into his personal ontology rather than “we chose you, we want you to be exactly what you are and we trust that you will figure it out your own way,” that smartness would have gone to waste as it has for countless people with a creative spirit muffled by circumstance. In addition to hyperstition, another prevalent theme I sense in his life is theurgy. I have often thought of Jobs as an unconscious Hermes devotee. Hermes is the trickster god of communication and commerce; Jobs was a pristine phenotypal representation of Hermes’ archetypal domains (him being a prankster is very on brand, atop of his vast influence on both commerce and communication through Apple). But he was hubristic, and we all know how much the gods—especially the tricksters—relish in humbling humans. So it’s rather morbidly fitting that he met his demise by believing he could outsmart his cancer by only eating fruits, after having made himself great with a company decorated by one. I wonder how much different his destiny might have been had he had more humility—perhaps he would never have accomplished a fraction of what he did by being arrogant! But it is fascinating to consider whether being conscious of his archetypal resonance might have calibrated him better to the actual limits of his own capability.
