Is Trump deliberate in his chaos theory?

Maybe chaos theory isn't the right term. It seems like president Trump operates in a chaotic matter, but deliberately so. The tariffs are a prime example of his negotiation style - attack, retreat, attack, negotiate ad infinitum or at least until it lands where he wants. Another example might be the Elon Musk spat. It seems too sudden, too temporally coincidental with Musk's mandatory departure date from DOGE. 

Now they have a feud? Right at the end of the administration? That seems all too conveniently timed to me. I don't have a problem with it; he's moving the country in the right direction on so many fronts, why worry about his methods and whether they are the best way to do it?  If chaos is working at the moment, use it.

Trump is an expert at media manipulation and this Trump-Musk feud smacks to me of being planned. Musk just mentioned Trump is in the Epstein files. Now the Democrats are clamoring for it's release. Let's face it, they are so desperate to derail him that they'd grasp for anything, even if it means throwing Bill Clinton and any other Democrat they were formerly protecting under the bus, along with Trump. 

Getting Democrats to flip so radically based on one hearsay comment? Too easy. I mean, I could be wrong, quite easily. But the pieces for more Democrat self-derailment seem to be falling into place insanely well. The flip in attitude is crazy. And staunch Epstein story questioners like Kash Patel and Dan Bongino suddenly insisting that Epstein did himself in, also seem strangely timely. As if to lend credence to the notion that Trump has decided that he doesn't want the Epstein files released. It's bait. It's a ruse that Democrats are all too happy now, to bite on.

The five laws of stupidity: more relevant now than ever

This theory has profound implications to today's society.  Watch the video, it has immense relevance, some of which I touch on below the video. 

If you think of Democrats (and establishment Republicans) as the bandits, clueless voters as the helpless and those we regard as useful idiots as the stupid people, with a small proportion of society as the intelligent people, it really starts to make sense. He mentions that the intelligent people drifting into the bandit quadrant as how societies fall apart, that makes a lot of sense too.

The question is, what can be done about it? Can stupid be fixed? Can helpless people be made aware and hopefully moved into the intelligent quadrant?  I think the latter is what we on the right are trying to do by establishing a more pervasive common sense. But is it enough? Are there enough?

The bandits would like to see as many people in both the helpless quadrant as possible because they are easier to victimize and provide profit.  They are constantly feeding the pipeline to helpless.  Inadvertently, they are creating more stupid people which long term hurts even them. Smart bandits should realize this, and perhaps some do. 

Perhaps the best way to deal with the downward spiral of society is to predict bandit behavior. Speaking about the smart bandits for example, if you know they are trying to skew others towards the helpless quadrant, leverage what they are doing. In this way, you can skew the target audience from moving towards helpless to moving more towards intelligent.  Volunteer to assist, as boots on the ground, in a bandit's effort to make people more helpless but take the opportunity to communicate relevant  information to move the recipients more towards informed intelligence.  All of society benefits from more people of intelligence.  Look at the grid in the quadrants of the video; intelligent people benefit others and themselves.

Yes, it's an uphill battle, it always will be, but it's one worth fighting.

 

Is "Get Woke Go Broke" real?

Bill Whittle asks if the phrase is true, then why do companies keep doing it?  It's a very good question.  He has a theory about it and he may be right.

Pelosi theories

Ted Cruz says Pelosi is in full-blown panic:



An RNC spokesperson says she's just clueless:

And of course there's the theory that they are shrewdly torpedoing their own candidates.

No one really knows what Nancy Pelosi is thinking, and I suspect Nancy Pelosi doesn't either.

Comically accurate

Democrats are trying to revive the dead horse they've beaten into the ground on the phony Russian collusion theory.

Meanwhile fake news gets tweeted by Jim Acosta of CNN.

Acosta Tweeted, “WH official on hospital visit: “President Trump did not meet with Scalise and did not go into the room where Scalise is being treated.”

This was proven to be fake.

Follow the link and read the full story, it's a good callout on fake news.

Saturday Learning Series - Is the West doomed?

Does success automatically lead to decay and failure?  It's an interesting question. And this video is an  interesting discussion between Dr. Jim Penman and Stefan Molyneux about that very topic. Dr. Jim Penman presents an interesting theory explaining the perhaps inevitable decline of the West.

Western civilization is on a path to destruction. In coming decades, economies will shrink, democracy will retreat and nations crumble. The long-term result will be grinding poverty, superstition and disease.

This isn't scaremongering it is science. In Biohistory: The Decline and Fall of the West, Dr. Jim Penman, PhD, details a revolutionary new theory about why civilizations collapse. For the first time, Penman directly links human biology with the rise and fall of civilizations a cataclysmic relationship that brought the Romans, the ancient Greeks and all other Empires to their knees.

Is it already too late to change the course of history?
