We're all Carol.

Sitting in the wreckage, screaming at a smiling face that wants to take our pain away. We're offered a cure for the human condition: join the hive, be happy.

But the cure feels like death.

This is the war inside Pluribus. And it's the war in your DNA.

(2/7)
Carol’s problem is Gene Key 34: The Shadow of Force.

It’s the “I’ll make you tell me!” energy. The grenade. The truth serum. It’s trying to force a solution.

2.5/7

It’s also the “Four-Year Crypto Plan.” The belief you can hack a broken system with one clever move.

It’s Chasing Amy’s threesome fantasy. The desperate belief that one transgressive act will fix a broken soul.

(3/7)
Why? Because “trying” is a lie.

Gene Key 34 calls it “The Bane of Trying.” When you operate from the Shadow, you push against reality. You create resistance. You become a bull in a china shop, breaking everything, including yourself.

Carol’s force is creating her own suffering.

4/7
The Hivemind offers the opposite lie.

They offer peace through surrender. Happiness through annihilation. It’s the ultimate Clerks fantasy: a world where the store runs itself and the clerks are all happy.

But a store with no purpose is a warehouse. A life with no struggle

They can’t answer.

(5/7)
There is a third way. The Gift of Strength.

This isn't the strength to break the cage. It's the strength to build a new world outside of it.

It’s the patient, relentless work of the Foundation:

Building Local Resilience Networks (LRNs).

Forging real community.

It’s strength without force.

6/7
The AES nations Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger are living this Gift.

They looked at the “Hivemind” of neocolonialism and didn't try to reform it. They didn't beg.

They said fuck it to the fake democracy and free speech used to oppress them.

They are building. A new confederation. A new destiny.

(7/7)
So ask yourself:

Are you trying to force your life to bend to your will?

Are you ready to surrender your painful, beautiful self for a little peace?

Or are you ready for the Gift?

Are you ready to stop fighting the old world, and start building the new one?

The strength is in your DNA.

Your Force Is A Lie (And So Is Your Happiness)

A thread about a god, a gospel, and the hidden narrative war that defines our collapsing world.

We've been analyzing the Controlled Demolition of institutions. But to understand why it's working we must look deeper to the stories we live by This is about the Gospel of John and Dionysus.

(2/23)
Dr. Dennis MacDonald's work argues the Gospel of John was written, in part, as a counter-narrative to the cult of Dionysus.

In the 1st century, Dionysus offered a powerful, seductive story:

2.5/23

Ecstatic joy & liberation

The transformation of water into wine

Eternal life through consuming the god (flesh and blood)

A god who dies and returns

(3/23)
The Gospel of John presents Jesus as the true fulfillment of these deep human desires. It's a narrative takeover. It says, "You want a god of wine and life? Here he is. But his wine is spiritual, his life is eternal, and his path is the cross."

This was a fight for the soul of a culture.

(4/23)
Now, fast-forward to our "Controlled Demolition."

What is being demolished? The Judeo-Christian ethical framework that undergirded the West for centuries. The "story" of sacrifice, service, and a transcendent moral order.

(5/23)
And what is rising to take its place? A new, old story.

It's not Dionysus by name. It's Dionysianism by nature.

It's a story that celebrates:

(5.5/23)

The rejection of rational constraint (post-truth, "feel the news")

The worship of power and vitality for its own sake

The dismemberment of the old order (the "draining of the swamp")

(6/23)
The "Babbel Event" wasn't a gaffe. It was a Dionysian moment.

It was the ecstatic rejection of boring, complex reality in favor of a simple, powerful, and emotionally resonant fiction. The crowd cheered not for truth, but for the performance of their story.

(7/23)
The Trumpian persona is not a Christian leader. It is a Dionysian figure.

He transforms the "water" of grievance into the "wine" of rage.

His followers consume him ("I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody...").

7.5/23

He promises not grace, but power and vindication.

He is the god who is repeatedly "killed" by the system (impeachments, indictments) and whose followers await his return.

(8/23)
This is why the Scott Bessents of the world can say immigrants are both "freeloading" and "bringing their own cattle."

Dionysian logic is not about consistency. It is about ecstatic contradiction. It is about the feeling of the story, not its coherence.

You don't fact-check a bacchanal.

(9/23)
This is why the DHS can be dismantled to feed the deportation machine.

The Dionysian cult demands sacrifice. What is being sacrificed? The "boring" gods of child protection, counter-terrorism, and good governance. They are ritually dismembered on the altar of the new narrative.

(10/23)
The "Foundations" we discuss—Local Resilience Networks, the SANKARA Protocol—are not just political tools.

They are an attempt to write a new story.

(10.5/23)

A story not of ecstatic, top-down frenzy, but of sober, bottom-up building.
A story not of consuming a leader, but of serving a community.
A story not of magical thinking, but of pragmatic competence.

(11/23)
The early Christians didn't defeat Dionysus by arguing. They built a more compelling, more resilient, and more humane story. They built communities that lived that story.

That is our task.

(12/23)
We are not in a political battle. We are in a mythological battle.

The old myth (Judeo-Christian service) has been hollowed out.
The new/old myth (Dionysian power) is in its ascendant, ecstatic phase.

(13/23)
The "Controlled Demolition" is the physical manifestation of this mythological shift. The institutions cannot stand because the story that gave them meaning has been taken from them.

(14/23)
So, what do we do?

Recognize the Story: Stop getting outraged at individual plot points. See the larger narrative arc. They are playing a different game with different rules.

(14.5/23)

Stop Feeding the Frenzy: Arguing with a Dionysian in the throes of their ecstasy only gives them energy.

Write a New Story: This is the core of the "Foundation." Build communities that tell a better, more human story through their actions.

(15/23)
Our new story must be:

Grounding, not ecstatic.

Cooperative, not consuming.

True, not merely resonant
