How can you be Outcome Independent, yet still want what you want? How do you have a true, don’t-give-a-shit attitude while still having goals, objectives and/or a Mission that you are deeply passionate about? As I describe in detail in my book, Outcome Independence doesn’t mean you don’t care about any outcomes in your life. If that were the case, you’d simply stay in bed all day and waste away until you died of starvation. Instead, OI means … Continue reading →

Stating The Obvious 0314 – Book Discussion: Data And Goliath – The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World by Bruce Schneier – Part 6

Posted on May 27, 2016 by TGOMay 27, 2016

More about the book Data And Goliath – The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World by Bruce Schneier. As we get near the end of the book Bruce starts talking about solutions to the data collection by government and corporations. Unfortunately all of his solutions are statist solutions. Like any good statist Bruce thinks the problem can be solved with more laws. Considering how many laws we have now shouldn’t there be no problems at all? How many laws does it take to solve a problem? How about we stop neglecting the fact that all of … Continue reading →

Posted on May 25, 2016 by TGOMay 25, 2016

I spend the first 40 minutes of this podcast not talking about the book Data And Goliath – The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World by Bruce Schneier. Instead I talk about: Trail running. The power of having specific goals. Natural selection. RPGs (Role Playing Games) Self-awareness. Statists as children with no sense of self-direction. How statists are people who need government/god (parents) to tell them not to kill people because they aren’t smart enough to figure out for themselves that killing other people isn’t very smart. Other people are the best thing in life. You … Continue reading →

Anarchy Moment 0154 – On The Appeal Of Conspiracy Theories

Posted on May 23, 2016 by TGOMay 23, 2016

It was one of those days where a thesis appears in my mind and I grab the recorder and start talking faster than my brain works. The Question: Why do people push conspiracy theories when they could push reality? Example: Alex Jones talks about chem trails. There is no solid evidence for chem trails. Why is not talking about (and he actually does talk about this – maybe I should say why does he not focus more on . . . ) Obama and “your” democratically elected government killing people in foreign countries with flying robots. There is empirical objective … Continue reading →

Posted on May 20, 2016 by TGOMay 20, 2016

I continue talking about the book Data And Goliath – The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World by Bruce Schneier. In this episode I go tangenting (are you shocked) with an opinion piece from a college student about public schools monitoring student’s social media accounts. “The problem here isn’t the idea behind this policy or that the schools are infringing upon privacy . . .” To the Medicated Generation “infringing upon privacy” is NOT the problem. I have a theory about why that is. The Medicated Generation is comprised of a large number of attention whores. … Continue reading →

Stop worrying about the future – focus on the present. And here we are. This is the worst one of the lot. This is the monster in the room and it will lead you to a life of financial misery.

In this episode I continue talking about the book Data And Goliath – The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World by Bruce Schneier. How Feministbook, I mean Facebook, can manipulate your emotions and your voting. The Espionage Act was passed in 1917. From 1917 to 2007 only 3 people were prosecuted under it. Since 2008 The Messiah, Hussein Obama, The First Affirmative Action President and The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ, winner of a Nobel Peace Prize, has pursued prosecutions against 8 people. Most transparent administration ever. http://www.cynlibsoc.com/mp3/sto/STO-310-2016-05-16.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download Stating The … Continue reading →

Remember when I said the Republicans were going to “Ron Paul” the Trump and make sure he wasn’t the Republican nominee for President? Well I was right. Of course. Interesting thing is that despite their best efforts the Trump may still end up winning the nomination. This is a historic moment kids. The destruction of the Republican Party. The vast majority of people who study college degrees do the degree and that is it. They figure that all they have to do is graduate and then they can wave their piece of paper and jobs will magically appear. This is … Continue reading →

Trail running, sunshine and girls in skirts. Fuck yes. The Trumpining continues – but Hillary will still be the next president. Yet again I’ll explain why. In this episode I begin talking about the book Data And Goliath – The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World by Bruce Schneier. Between the NSA, government and corporations damn near everything you do on the internet or on your cell phone is recorded, analysed and will be used against you. You statists out there defend the NSA, government and corporations because you suffer from battered wife syndrome. And when … Continue reading →
