Thank you for allowing me to return to these pages. My previous reflection on remembrance and Veterans Day came from the heart, but today I wish to speak from the mind—to analyze a silent war being waged not in the streets, but in the very architecture of human thought itself.
From Academic Theory to a Blueprint for Control
I have spent much time lately studying the works of modern philosophers, particularly those like Daniel Dennett, who argue that free will is an illusion. In his book Freedom Evolves, Dennett proposes a “compatibilist” theory. He describes our consciousness as a complex web of neural pathways (“cogwebs”) where we engage in “intertemporal bargaining”—negotiating between our immediate desires and our long-term interests. He calls this messy, predictable process “freedom.”
At first glance, this seems a sterile academic debate. But I have come to believe it is something far more sinister: it is the operating manual for our managerial elite. Why? Because if human behavior is merely a deterministic output of biological and environmental inputs, then whoever controls the inputs controls the output. This theoretical model is being weaponized into a system of social control so profound it makes Orwell’s vision seem quaint.
The Three Pillars of Psychological Warfare
Let me explain how this “soma” is being engineered. The attack is focused on the very capacities Dennett himself describes.
First, they attack Predictability. By flooding the culture through media and technology with content that promotes impulse, hypersexuality, and fractured attention, they systematically weaken the prefrontal cortex’s ability to enact long-term, principled planning. They make it physiologically harder to uphold the “intertemporal contracts” that favor discipline and tradition.
Second, they corrupt the Inputs. The food—laced with seed oils, sugars, and endocrine disruptors—clouds the biological machine. The pharmaceuticals alter its chemical processes. This is not conjecture; it is a deliberate degradation of the hardware required for “the power to stop and think.”
Third, they sever Memory. Dennett notes that our freedom relies on memory “stretching the time zone over which causes can affect us far into the past.” By dismantling our monuments, rewriting our history, and keeping us in a perpetual, abistorical present via digital distraction, they destroy the very raw material needed for reasoned judgment. A people without a shared past cannot bargain for their future; they can only react to the latest stimulus.
The Crypto-Dictatorship of Our Time
The goal is to create a population that is entirely stimulus-driven. The globalist regime does not want sovereign individuals capable of Evola’s “transcendent Will.” It wants predictable consumers, manageable voters, and passive recipients of their directives. They use a materialist theory of determinism to create a deterministic reality.
The brilliance of this system is its deniability. They need not admit this is their goal. They merely fund the studies, promote the philosophers, and unleash the corporations, all while hiding behind the language of “progress,” “equity,” and “consumer choice.” It is a crypto-dictatorship enforced not by jackboots, but by algorithms and grocery store shelves.
The Duty of Resistance: Riding the Tiger
So, what is the answer? It is to do the exact opposite. It is to engage in a conscious, deliberate act of self-determinism.
If they seek to make us predictable, we must become unpredictable in our adherence to tradition. If they poison the inputs, we must purify them—curating our information diet, eating whole foods, and rejecting pharmacological pacification. If they destroy memory, we must become obsessive custodians of our own history and that of our ancestors.
This is the true meaning of “Riding the Tiger.” We use our understanding of their system not to lament it, but to sabotage it from within. We must strengthen the “cogwebs” of faith, family, and national identity through repeated, willful action until they become the dominant programs running on our neural hardware. This is the modern equivalent of the old Prussian imperative: to forge oneself into a sovereign instrument of a higher will.
The question is no longer whether free will exists. The question is whether we have the will to fight for it. The battlefield is your skull. The time to choose is now.
