"WhatifAlthist" | World History, Philosophy, Culture

While history remained relatively objective, anthropology has been utterly destroyed by pseudoscience—THREE-QUARTERS of Amazon's top anthropology books are scientifically fraudulent! My research across multiple fields has uncovered something unprecedented: the 20th century pulled off the most astonishing deception in human history. Despite unprecedented access to information and "intellectual freedom," our supposedly advanced civilization embraced absurdities our descendants will mock us for believing. This discovery is so enormous that those who see it feel momentarily insane.

Our society lives in shattered glass—no shared concept of human value, souls, reality, gender, or nations. Nietzsche's predicted consequences from God's death have destroyed the old world completely. We've gone insane but remain wealthy enough to mask it. Since high school, I've known the adult worldview was an empty bluff destined to collapse. After years cross-referencing solutions, I've found something that could actually work. Here's what I discovered.

Some truths are too enormous for words—like discovering the sky is a different color while normies remain blind. Over seven years since high school, I systematically deconstructed the comfortable illusions we've lived in our entire lives. Politics and trans issues are just surface symptoms—the rot goes INFINITELY deeper. Once you flip the log over, it's completely eaten through by worms. This episode dissects our rotting worldview and reveals why everything we've been taught is fundamentally false.

Gustave Le Bon revealed that history runs on dreams, not logic—90% of humans merely rationalize their emotions. Every civilization projects fantasy ideals (Christian Heaven, Marxist Utopia, Valhalla) that animate their entire existence. Modernity's enormous wealth enabled unprecedented delusion, creating TWO competing fantasies so powerful that people will destroy nations refusing to fulfill them. Most remain trapped in modernity's mythology, unable to see the illusions controlling their lives. SPONSORS: Zcash: The right technology reshapes politics and culture toward freedom and prosperity.

Living through mythological events, we've lost the eyes to see them. California represents history's cautionary tale—a society blessed with EVERYTHING (perfect geography, unprecedented wealth, human capital) destroyed by a single variable: culture. This parable reveals how elites and socialists formed an unholy alliance to ethnically replace and atomize a functioning society, creating artificial feminine dystopia that chose civilizational suicide over authentic community. History's most rapid demographic replacement meets total cultural collapse. SPONSORS: Zcash: The right technology reshapes politics and culture toward freedom and prosperity.
