@Matt! This video by a Yale Alum which I just watched is a terrific insight to how the elites in the US behave and think from an early age, which forms their behavior as older adults. He correctly identifies how ivy league elite universities select their candidates. Unlike other countries its not mainly about the highest intelligence or grades or real learning but demonstrating extremely aggressive ambition to the point of immorality & fanaticism. He attributes his fanaticism as a poor kid as being the key to getting him into Yale. This creates a system where only the top 1% most aggressive people end up attending Ivy league schools and they spend all their energy competing against each other to win the spoils.

His chief insight is that this 'education' is flawed as it trains a class of intellectually hollow bureaucrats and careerists, most of which are borderline or basically sociopaths who will do anything to win.

JD Vance who attended harvard is a typical product of the system..I wondered if he had sex with Thiel to secure his patronage.

I attended one of the top schools but not at the level at Harvard and Yale and remember it being a cutthroat competition and extremely stressful. In retrospect it was not so much about the learning but more similar to the things he says here. The chief insight in this video is that he correctly identifies that this is the opposite of real learning, creativity, and innovation which can provide insight into why US political, military and economic leaders are so mediocre at best and frequently terrible. Their skill is to advance in their careers at all cost even if they burn down the assets that they are given. And why so many of them are complete sociopaths like Trump who are only concerned with 'perception' of winning.

Basically America has created an Indian caste system with all the same problems at they have.

The ambitious brahmin Indians in the UK, Canada and other commonwealth countries rise high in the C-suite, finance and politics (and a much lessor extent the US). These sociopaths and bootlickers can be seen in people like Kash Patel and Vivek R. They are similarly intellectually hollow and devoid of real talent except career progression/image management and are ideal harvard/oxford graduates.

In these anglophile countries they have a reputation for crashing/raping the companies/bureaucracies that they enter in and using their powers to hire a ton of indian friends to upper and middle management.

Basically it's similar behavior that infests the corrupt and unproductive bureaucracy in India.

The smartest and ultra-nerdy Chinese in the US fail against the Indians, Jews and elite Whites due to the 'bamboo ceiling' but also due to their comparative lack of social climbing skills. This is also apparent in the introverted politics in East Asia and how in China everybody in politics/elite are engineers (instead of lawyers in the US) that were ultra-nerds that scored in the top 0.1% of the country in tests.

Late 1990s, the final good years to be a middle-class American. I was in high school and we believed that the world was getting better and better. even the adults had real hope. Since then everything has been in decline..

I wonder if the people in this video were killed in 9-11? This was taken on the 72nd floor of the world trade center.

The new Battlefield 6 Game story takes place during the the collapse of NATO.

The Ukrainian military reported to the Western press this week that the US Patriot batteries are failing in Ukraine, and only intercepted 8% of the Russian missiles.

China/Xi is currently executing corrupt government bureacrats...in the US they become the president of the US, congressmen etc...

US marines propaganda ...

the comments section for this video is funny- most of it is people noticing that this guy doesn't have a HS diploma, works a manufacturing job he hates yet can support a home, wife and baby...

Kojima on "Nato aggression/pushing on Russia's geostrategic borders in 1999 lol" and "Russia might have to respond.."

I listened to jiang's lectures about a different view about the origins of the holy bible.

Pretty interesting that one of the agnostic views is that the Bible is most likely state sanctioned court propaganda by the kingdom of David to legitimize his rule and his legacy. The person in charge of putting it together was likely a female court historian....the genius of the bible has more to do with the literary genius of its editor.

Also the bible is a work of literary fiction influenced by Egyptian and iranian/persian culture, something that is never talked about in sunday school...

+Also, an interesting theory is that Jesus was simply just another gnostic religious leader at the time that was put to death by the Romans to make an example of him to the Jews.

His stories/resurrection etc. are just made up legends/rumors after he was turned into a martyr. The real Jesus would be appalled that people worship him for 2 thousand years.

He also has a two part series that a pretty interesting take on why the 'legend' of Alexander the Great as we are taught today is really just Western/Christian propaganda that distorted his legacy due to his role in the foundation of later Christendom. This presents the theory that: 1. He and his mother murdered their father for the throne 2. Alexander the Great himself after his victories was a violent drunk and a monster/tyrant, and was killed by his own generals.

COD/and other war games being used as US- NATO propaganda:

"Speaking as someone who grew up on military games, then served during GWOT: This is exactly what conditioning looks like. I joined partly because games made military service look exciting, purposeful, heroic. The reality was different—but that was a limited, regional conflict with relatively contained casualties for the US. What we're being primed for now is fundamentally different in scale.

The key difference: GWOT: Volunteer force, counterinsurgency, manageable casualties What this game depicts: Near-peer conventional war, mass mobilization, industrial-scale combat Battlefield 6 isn't preparing kids for deployments—it's normalizing the idea of total war with Russia by 2028. The NATO consultation, the HUD interfaces matching actual defense contractor systems (Anduril, etc.), the near-term timeframe while we're actually on the edge of NATO-Russia confrontation—none of this is accidental.

From personal experience: The psychological gap between "playing soldier" and actual combat is massive—but games narrow that gap just enough to make enlistment feel natural. It worked on my generation for Iraq/Afghanistan. Now they're doing it again, but for something exponentially more catastrophic.

The kids playing this won't just be desensitized to violence—they'll be pre-conditioned to accept mass mobilization as necessary and inevitable. That's not entertainment. That's preparation of the battlefield—and the battlefield is the public consciousness of military-age males. Grossman's On Killing documented how the military had to overcome soldiers' natural resistance to killing through conditioning. Video games do the same work—at scale, for free, marketed as fun. We saw this playbook with America's Army. This is the same thing, but for a war that could kill millions instead of thousands. If you're young and this looks exciting—I'm telling you from experience: question why this specific scenario, at this specific time, with this specific official involvement, is being sold to you.
