In order to best understand the world we live in it is crucial to think in terms of fundamentals and to be philosophically aware. One must have a basic knowledge of philosophy and preferably of Ayn Rand’s philosophy Objectivism. When the full context is held in mind its clear that there is no great awakening happening, and the claim that such is the case is a counter-productive call to inaction. As little as a century ago the average person had far more common sense than people today and they were less gullible because they were more anchored in the real world than we are today. Of course, the context was different and they did not have the technological ability to access information and therefore uncover the truth had they been inclined to investigate. And unlike us they had no track record of broken promises and obvious false claims to stimulate suspicion. 3 contextual points: The first contextual idea to bear in mind is that men have been controlling other men since the very beginning of human interactions. Let’s remind ourselves of the concept of slavery and that until the mid 1800s it was a ubiquitous fact of human life across the globe. It is also no secret that there are many voices calling for a New World Order that is essentially one world government as a means of political control. This idea is not championed by ordinary people on the street, it is championed by the super wealthy and their “think tanks” and those calling the shots – the parasite class. The second point is that central banking – the key means of controlling nations by controlling the money supply – has been around a long time. It was established in England with the charter of the Bank of England in 1694. The model spread across Europe, and has become the means by which wealthy private shareholders of these central banks control the money supply and thereby the economy of their respective countries. The third point I want to make is philosophical. The renaissance of the 15th and 16th centuries was the rebirth of REASON as man’s guiding principle since the ancient Greece. It was a period when mysticism gave way to a rational approach to human life. The key features of the thinking of this period were that reality was held to be an objective absolute and that it was considered knowable to the human mind. Not everyone held these ideas, but they came to dominate European culture for a brief period. The result was the scientific and industrial revolutions, and massive progress of humanity out of poverty and into an age of technological growth and development. The two ideas of an objective reality and therefore a knowable reality gave birth to scientific method and a string of key discoveries such as electricity and electric lighting, the internal combustion engine, and many more. But also, these ideas gave birth to the USA, the first free nation on earth. You see, when reason is mans dominant guiding principle, mankind recognises the objective nature of reality and grasps that knowledge is possible to the human mind – that the mind is competent to know reality. These ideas always go together, and they lead to individualism and political freedom. But in 1781 the publication of a book called “A critique of Pure Reason” by a German Philosopher called Emmanuel Kant, saw the beginning of the reversal of these dominant ideas. Setting himself up a champion of reason (in a typical Trojan horse tactic of the intellectual variety) Kant proceeded to destroy the concept and precipitated a U-turn in the philosophical direction of western culture. It didn’t happen overnight, but the seeds were sown for the key ideas that a) reality is created by consciousness, and b) that reality is unknowable. Kant (and his promoters) reversed the thinking trend of the Renaissance and began the trend to undermine man’s mind by undermining our grasp of reality and our abili...
Dr Andy Kaufman has become one of the foremost rational thinker of today. In his questioning of the pandemic narrative he went directly to the fundamentals and sought proof of the existence of the virus and the evidence for and against the predominant paradigm of germ theory in medicine. He followed in the footsteps of Nancy Turner Banks and others such as Stephan Lanka and picked up the thread of those questioning the existence of any HIV virus that allegedly causes AIDS. His scrupulous investigation and unceasing demand for evidence that could not be produced led him to the inevitable conclusion that there are no viruses. No one has ever shown a virus to exist by isolating it from all other organic matter in the proper dictionary definition of the term – separating from everything else. The implications of this are enormous. You have nothing to fear in ‘catching’ a disease from a virus. It means the Pandemic was a hoax, that vaccinations are a waste of time and no means to immu...
Understanding your world is a big task and it takes time, but one thing is very important as you embark on this journey. It’s essential to question ALL areas of so-called science, and not leave any one of them exempt from scrutiny. Don’t investigate only medical science (pandemics and viruses), and maybe political science (global collectivist agendas) and perhaps economic science (central banking and a debt-based fractional reserve global fiat currency system) etc, etc. If you are seeking truth you must be consistent and not hold astronomy and quantum physics as beyond suspicion. Especially since the implications of both and the ‘conclusions’ of quantum physics specifically support otherwise irrational and mystical ideas, such as “we create our own reality”, the primacy of consciousness, and thus destroy the concept of truth. The Big Bang Theory is officially proposed as the rational and ‘scientific’ alternative to creationism, but the two are presented as a false dichotomy....
This is BIG news. An astronomy researcher in Italy, Simon Shack, has found the missing link in a model of the Solar System created by the most famous astronomer you have never heard of – Tycho Brahe. The Tychos model completely disproves the heliocentric (or Copernican) model that we have all been brought up with. Most people do not know abut the numerous ‘anomalies’ with the heliocentric model. They are the evidence that the heliocentric model simply doesn’t explain the empirical evidence – what we see when we look up at the stars. Astronomers know about them and they are widely acknowledged. Yet even so, mainstream astronomy remains deaf to this exciting news. But don’t be put off by those classic logical fallacies, just because everyone else doesn’t yet accept this, and just because it is not the official explanation does NOT undermine its logical credentials. Suspend judgement until you have looked at the facts. THEN decide for yourself. Aside from being the BIGGEST break...
Questions are great because they get us thinking. Questions encourage thinking, rules encourage compliance. In this Episode of “Living outside the Matrix” I present you with 12 fundamental questions for life, questions to ask yourself. Your answers will provide insight into some of your most fundamental assumptions and a key to understanding your motivations. Some of the questions have a right answer, some do not. Most of them seek an either/or answer, but not all. What you will notice is that there is often an answer that you will be able to pluck out of your surrounding mainstream culture. The answer that everyone knows, the one that most people subscribe to because they hear everyone else say it. But the question remains, what is your answer? What is your position on these fundamental and hugely significant questions? Ask yourself this… 1. Am I a sovereign consciousness. Am I a separate entity in the drivers seat of my life? Can I (potentially) exert at least some control over...
It’s never been more important to know the truth than in the context of today! Freedom is on the line! But how good are the methods used to discern truth? Are they effective? Are they reliable? In this podcast we discuss 2 easy mistakes that many truth seekers fall into. They are super important because they affect our ability to achieve certainty and to pass on knowledge to others. We must be able to scrutinise government policies, pandemics, climate emergency, terrorism, etc, and if we find them to be flawed or making false claims we must be able to explain why. We must rise to the challenge of being savvy and astute thinkers who can see through the propaganda! We need to know which ideas are false and which are true and we need to be certain of our conclusions. The Traps – Mysticism and Emotions All truth seekers face two potential traps. They can easily be tempted into considering faith and/or emotions as a means to knowing truth. Faith is what people are appealing to when the...
In this Episode of Living outside the Matrix, Nigel Howitt discusses the importance of holding a world view based on the Primacy of existence. But he points out that currently our culture is dominated by the opposite idea called the primacy of consciousness. The former leads to human flourishment, the latter to tyranny and human suffering! Ideas are powerful, they motivate us and affect our choice of values as well as morality and behaviour. The more fundamental ideas are the more influence they exert. And the most fundamental ones exert the most influence. These days our culture dis-values truth by implication. Where ever we look, whatever the issue, it seems that assertions and unfounded claims are taken as truth. Tyranny is on the horizon and marching towards us – few seem to notice the signs. The Primacy of Existence In this weeks Podcast I discuss this most fundamental and most important idea, and look at the its implications. Its the idea that reality is an objective absolute...
To know how best to act, we must gather all the information and have as big a picture as possible. Only then can we be in a position to best judge what to do. If we apply this principle to looking back over the past two years of pandemic narrative, we must take a honest look at the state of affairs. Based on my observations and full contextual knowledge I have concluded that beyond any reasonable doubt a political reality of Communism (Statism or in essence, collectivism) is now the de-facto power structure in Britain. The precedent has been set with complete economic and social control already assumed. Because the reason is justified in the minds of the public, all is considered OK. Nothing to worry about. The alarming loss of political freedoms should arouse suspicion in any thinking mind, but when you search for the non-existent virus and learn about how viruses are “isolated” you can see that the picture is far more sinister than it appears on the surface. Key Premises There a...
The loss of genuine scientific method in the mainstream narrative is a cultural reflection of western thinking. The genuine process of seeking knowledge and identifying truth has given way to a new religion some call Scientism. Its a form of pseudo-science that serves a a mock justification for a political agenda. But is the fakery just for the purposes of manipulation or is there genuine error? Or perhaps is there a mixture of the two – where the deceivers actually believe some of their own delusions? In this weeks Podcast Patrik Holmqvist and Nigel Howitt discuss the many manifestation of the loss of scientific method in the mainstream narrative, offering numerous examples. They also shed some light on the reasons why this is happening. Some likely causes of the loss of genuine scientific method A Failure to think logically Today we see a widespread inability to think logically among both lay-people and the so-called scientists! For example, epidemiological studies are considered...
A key feature of the rational approach is to think and act according to consciously held principles. Accordingly, the rational person, who naturally prioritises health, is guided by consciously chosen principles in the pursuit of optimal health Your diet is arguably the most powerful tool with which to exert control over your health. So in this weeks podcast we take a look at the most important principles you can uses to guide your eating choices. Some of these, such as toxicity avoidance, should also be used to guide all of your other lifestyle choices as well. But fear not! There is no need to see this as a permanent end or restriction to your eating pleasure. You can always schedule in indulgence days appropriate to your level of accomplishment. It’s not all about avoidance, self-denial and misery. We can give ourselves a break on the road to more life-promoting eating habits. However, self-discipline and self-control ultimately reap enormous dividends in terms of a sense of ach...
