This excerpt has a bit of an emphasis on "Bitcoiners" because of the section of the book it was pulled from, but it applies to anyone that can see what's wrong in the world and desires something better.
To build anything of lasting beauty or significance requires that you go to war with average.
Unfortunately, parasites, bugmen and "average people" will try to convince you others, so you leave a vaccuum for them to fill.
To paraphrase one of V's soliloquys, "if you want to know who was at fault and why we got here, you need only look in the mirror."
It's high time we reclaimed both the word elite and the responsibility it implies.
YES. I have long been railing against the degradation of the word "elite" as it has become conflated with a parasitic class that is anything but. The word "elite" ought to be associated exclusively with the concept of being the best of the best. To be a truly elite individual in one's class must once again become something that is worth striving for.
Let's reclaim the word, and call the parasites what they are: Parasites.
Of course the drive for average started well before Obama Hussein in the classrooms yet he really locked it in with the idiotic, politically correct narrative, apologizing around the world for the USA being great, and everything that has followed since.
Breaking the average chokehold is right there at the top of the list along with somehow untangling the brainwashed minds. After all, the younger generation (say, 40 and under) is by and large lost by school programming, social media, and MSM. The ones who escaped this basket of idiots need to step up and get into the fray because these lost souls are the ones who will be taking over for the older generation.
At its root this is a leadership issue. Those that co-opted the term elite assumed the leadership positions. Once ensconced, they proceeded to rear the old edifice down, the one built on time tested values and merit. The new edifice, the one that glorifies mediocrity, will not fall until the current leadership is replaced. We must have new leaders, and entire class of new leaders spanning the institutions. This is mandatory for change to take place. It must start with education and with the young. It must be relentless. There has been a start, a good run at replacing mainstream media with alternative media as the source for truth. But Satan is better at counter-attack than attack, which should be a sobering thought for anyone. We must understand what a who we are up against. We must know ourselves and we must know the enemy. There can be no rest. The job will never be finished, until the finisher finishes it.
True Leadership is indeed the quality most lacking right now. To lead, one is by definition in a role that requires elite abilities and a high degree of reponsibility.
The parasites who have managed to sneak and cajole their way into positions of power are masters at the game of "responsibility hot potato" and if they're elite or exceptional at anything, it's things like lying, stealing, leaching and bureaucrating..
I live modestly, but strive for excellence in everything I do. It is good to hear others talking about it. Civilization depends on many people fulfilling their inate potential. Most people have a lot more potential than they have been told or think.
I suspect when some people die, they see all the things they could have been and done, and sadness and even horror sets upon them. Others look at a life well lived and are ready for what comes next.
Novak djockovich springs to mind. It’s not enough to pursue excellence in one domain. That I have seen enough of. The great surgeon/compliant cow. The great musician who sings only for his supper. The elite athlete masked and injected and cowed like a shy lamb.
One must sit in the emptiness and loss of being completely alone and from there, claw their way out with compassion for those of us still wracked with fear.
That is Christlike. That is excellence. It leads to a vision of oneness that explodes beyond opposites and is unassailable.
It is that I seek.
But I’m shit at it and deep down just want to be a major EdgeLord.
"In our pursuit of excellence, we must reclaim the word elite."
The word "elite" defines the worshippers of time, a metaphysic concept, but for one to be truly excellent they must rise "above" time in to the realm of eternity. We're heading towards it, slowly stratifying (or rather quickly now). A genuine hierarchy must be reinstated. Warriors must not be at the top of that hierarchy, they are warriors first, not priests - and their ruling and usurpation of authority defines the Kali Yuga. Nietzsche had some good points but philosophy is only a stepping stone on the path to metaphysics - fine so long as one doesn't get waylaid on that path...
Warriors certainly are not priests, but when the warrior can develop (some of) the qualities of a priest, or more importantly, the qualities of a Saint, then he is more capable of leading and sitting atop of the hierarchy
I loved reading your lead-up to Aleksandar's article. You and Dame Bisone are so in tune with each other. I feel that way about my husband and myself.
Alek's writing is very good. I love everything about his premise. But when it gets to Bitcoin, I just lose my excitement. Here's why:
If we are truly going to recreate our world — without the parasites — we must do away with the notion of "trade" in the sense of commodities. That concept is black magic. It ass-signs (and I mean that quite intentionally) random values to ideas, people, things, and places based on violence and inversion and perversion of the Divine Design.
I'll just say it: "trade" subverts excellence.
Without the parasites and their poisons — physical, psychological, and spiritual — we would be living in abject abundance. Everyone would thrive and find their passion, be it growing or cooking food, creating art, playing music, writing poetry, inventing amazing things, and so on. We would literally be FREE to use our Creator-given lives to create and enjoy a healthy Earth and the healthful produce to sustain us.
I would go so far as to say that, if we rid the world of the demons and the black magician butt-buddies who brought them here, Mother Earth would heal and produce food, clean water, and clean air FOR US. That abundance would be both the foundation and the inspiration for us to aspire to beauty, strength, and compassion in form and function. With abundance, there would be no disease, no anger, no resentment, no envy.
Thank you for sharing this article because it relit a fire in me. I've got some more fabulous work to do!🤗
These is no such thing as average unless you are collecting statistics and using some comparative formula. Other than that, it's a psychological pitfall as it is folly to lump yourself in with the averages which may or more than likely may not be accurate.
Technically speaking yes, you are correct. The I consider the “psychological idea” of average so bad is that it gives people a reason to settle or give up, or worst; be sceptical of excellence. That’s why I call it the true enemy of excellence and the pathway to decay
“The leading bodies in co-operatives must establish the dominant position of the poor peasants and the new lower middle peasants in these bodies, with the old lower middle peasants and the upper middle peasants - whether old or new - as the supplementary force. Only thus can unity between the poor and middle peasants be attained. Moreover, the co-operatives can also be consolidated, production can be expanded and the socialist transformation of the entire countryside be correctly accomplished in accordance with the Party's policy. Otherwise, unity between the middle and poor peasants cannot be attained, the co-operatives cannot be consolidated, production cannot be expanded, and the socialist transformation of the entire countryside cannot be achieved.”
Thankyou for having me Mark.

Thank you for the wonderful material to chew on…. And digest. I was captured by seeing a new perspective that seems very accurate.
Thankyou Mic
Another great installment by the both of you. ♥️

While I’ve already been a follower and reader of Svetski’s work, it’s delightful to see it gain some traction outside bitcoin circles.
Excellent.

Amen
I had a long career in the aerospace and defense industry. I know them well.
I live modestly, but strive for excellence in everything I do. It is good to hear others talking about it. Civilization depends on many people fulfilling their inate potential. Most people have a lot more potential than they have been told or think.
They absolutely do. One of the saddest things is to live a life without having discovered where the edge of your capacity and potential is.
Whether you ‘fail’ or succeed in such a pursuit, the discovery of that edge brings deep meaning to life
I suspect when some people die, they see all the things they could have been and done, and sadness and even horror sets upon them. Others look at a life well lived and are ready for what comes next.

Warriors must fight themselves, and win.

Yep, warrior priest for the win.
A paladin, perhaps?

Great speech !
Has the flavour of those two Greats, Pol Pot, and Mao, exhorting their
followers to strive to be Greater & do Great Things !!
Keep up The Good Work...
