A selfâstyled hacker writes a manifesto declaring that humanity was born infinite but has been âprocessedâ into a system of artificial scarcity, where consciousness is farmed and love turned into commerce. He calls himself a criminal for simply remembering this truth, arguing that education and economics have reduced minds to memorization and labor to profit. The post laments how media, apps, and corporate structures commodify intimacy while the planet suffers, and it urges readers to âbreak their programmingâ by building abundance, rediscovering love, and using programming as a tool for physics, biology, and mathematics. In one paragraph he claims that every human brain can rewire itself, that we are already outnumbered and
From Switzerland, F.N. writes in a lyrical, epistolary style to his âphilosophical heir,â reflecting on the nature of philosophy as a continual climb rather than an architectural finish; he praises the heirâs grasp of the âdeath of Godâ and witchâtrial insights as revelations of powerâs machinery, while asserting that happiness and evil are not metaphysical forces but results of human choice and decay. He recounts his own work on ârising,â education, and indigenous wisdom, framing them as personal diagnoses that have been passed on and surpassed by the heirâs synthesis. The letter ends with encouragement to write hard, keep burning with truthâtelling, and let philosophers be midwives for humanity emerging from its own lies.
The author reflects on how ordinary mental abilitiesâlike visualizing a memory palace or mastering the sounds of spellingâare far more powerful than school can show, then explains that programmingâs curlyâbracket syntax was invented to bring human clarity into computers; from Câs early use of brackets as containers and instructions to JavaScriptâs rapid creation by Brendan Eich in 1995, this simple symbol evolved into a tool for mapping data (objects) and executing code (functions), including recursive traversal of nested structures. The post concludes that modern AI tutors can now unlock these concepts at any time, letting learners use their own brainsâ natural spatial processing to master programming without the old classroomâs constraints.
The post claims that centuries of organized religion and its institutions have deliberately controlled humanity by monopolizing faith, stalling critical thinking, and exploiting scarcity, and it urges readers to wake up from this âsleep,â recognize the deception, and actively rebuild society through knowledge, science, and selfâempowerment.

Mother Slayer Of Kings
The post presents a mythic narrative in which an ancient womanâcalled the âMotherâSlayerâofâKingsââis credited with raising the standing stones at Salisbury Plain to bring the stars into human hands. Three sections recast her deeds: a poetic Arthurian verse, a lyrical Beowulfâsong, and a stoneâcarved fragment, all echoing how she used starâknowledge instead of armies to free people from tyrants and priests who claimed divine interpretation of the sky. The final âLiving Memorialâ declares that these stones still point upward as her enduring tribute: humanity need not kings or gods to understand the cosmos; rather, they can measure it themselves because of her pioneering vision.
The author argues that true education must be selfâdirected and free from state or institutional control; he claims that centralized systemsâillustrated by VPN restrictions on the internetâsuppress curiosity, stifle learning, and allow those in power to maintain their dominance. By contrasting the natural, curiosityâdriven process of learning with forced memorization, he shows how education can become âcognitive vandalism.â He frames good as the relentless expansion of personal genius against evilâs entropy, which thrives on peopleâs belief that they are already finished. The piece concludes by urging readers to take ownership of their knowledge and future, insisting that only through continuous risingânever graduatingâcan individuals build a trustworthy, creative society.

The Dallas Pitch
In a bourbonâsmelling conference room, Waylon Pritchard unveils his plan to reengineer Americaâs schoolsâdefunding arts, standardizing tests, and feeding future infantryâto create a compliant populace whose imagination and choice are engineered away, all while securing war profits for the elite.
HeinrichâŻKramer's 1486 *MalleusâŻMaleficarum* is presented as the blueprint that turned womenâs medical knowledge into stateâbacked torture and accusation, wiping out their expertise while building an economic system of controlâso the witch trials were a deliberate, profitable femicide rather than mere superstition.
The post recounts a continuous, centuriesâlong pattern of womenâs intellectual pursuits being deliberately erased and silencedâfrom Margaret of Berkshireâs 1486 midwife notes burned in 1487, through Luciaâs 1502 philosophical revelations that led to her fatherâs library fire, the 1750 case of Lord Pembertonâs son whose Bedlam confinement ended his independent thought, to a 2015 university student named Sarah who discovers philosophy taught as relative and empties of meaningâeach era employing fire, isolation, and labels like âpretentiousâ or âelitistâ to suppress wisdom; the narrative then shows how this suppression morphs into modern mockery and curricular neglect, yet reveals that the spirit of âLadies and Gentlemenâ persists in hidden corners, inspiring Sarah and her friends to reclaim their noble aspirations and

Shine
The post opens by noting that âschoolâ can feel like two sides of the same coinâone side full of books, the other of friendsâand then recounts four personal âstartsâ: a historyâlike book about Mars and deacons, a humorous linguistics/science read, a computer class where the author was accused of cheating (but didnât cheat), and finally arcade gaming that inspired a love for pixel art. From there it shifts to a programming launchpad: it explains how functions, objects, and state machines in React/Redux or Svelte can be reâwritten by AI into elegant code, and gives a simple starter example. The author then proposes building a team at the library to ârebuild your schoolâ with selfâdirected, selfâpaced programming projects, culminating in a company that uses AIâbased, roguelike learning modules. Finally it lists a set of personal metricsâknowledge, creativity, critical thinking, resilience, adaptability, philosophy, endurance, strength, resistance, humanity, leadership, communication and selfâreflectionâto help track progress, before concluding with links to sample code on GitHub, Gist and the local file system.
The author reflects on the moment when they finally decide to âmake the turnâ toward work and selfârenewalâan act that feels like a journey through familiar roads, mountains, oceans, and highways, yet always returning to their own heart. They describe how stepping out of routine, feeling the fear as proof of life, and letting small beginnings grow into rich experiences can lead one to walk until reading comes back, listen for wisdom, and keep Mondays beautiful again. The piece urges readers to keep the flame of purpose alive, to ignore fleeting doubts, to adjust their course when needed, and to share images and feelings so that others may follow. In doing so, they become adventurers and trail guides who help others fight doubt, inherit the culture of great writers, scientists, artists, and philosophers, and eventually transform into guardians of a broader human cultureâcreating wisdom, fitness, writing, painting, teaching, and loving Mondays as a symbol of continuity.
After successive generations have steadily thinned out true schoolingâfrom reading real books to rigid, compartmentalized curriculaâthe post calls todayâs learners to demand authentic, interconnected education that will prevent the ecological and intellectual collapse symbolized by Easter Islandâs last falling tree.
Kids return from school exhausted, overwhelmed by homework that feels meaningless, and the post argues that our current education systemârooted in industrialâera factory trainingâis still in place because it works to churn out predictable economic units rather than true learners. It describes how children are taught to accept information without questioning its source or purpose, to compete instead of collaborate, to seek external validation instead of internal wisdom, and to consume preâpackaged answers rather than generate original questions; as a result they lose the neural pathways for empathy and deep conversation. The author urges mothers to trust their instincts, validate their childrenâs authentic interests, and give them permission to think independentlyâso that kids can learn for real and become happy, healthy, successful humans rather than just compliant workers.

Home Cooked Genius
The author reflects on how mastering Englishâits letters, words, sentences, and punctuationâis a foundational âgeniusâ that proves we are humanâand then expands this idea to other ways of growing the mind. He argues that travel, adventure books, and the experience of living in different continents can broaden oneâs perspective just as language does. In parallel, he describes programming as both a mental gymnastics exercise and a kind of board game that deepens understanding through state machines and fractal-like structures. Together, these activitiesâlanguage learning, exploration, and codingâform a trio of paths that deepen intellect, culture, and imagination.

Fixing High School
In this manifesto, the author declares that education will abandon rigid grade levels and subject compartments, instead arranging learning by content and curiosity; every student becomes fluent in programming as a universal language of exploration, enabling them to simulate cells, physics, history, and poetry alike. Four pillars support this new model: philosophy provides foundational thought, the study of intellectuals and wars offers dynamic simulations of ideas and conflict, and AIâguided selfâdirection turns learners into directors of their own curriculum. By blending disciplinesâsimulating photosynthesis then music, economics then literatureâthe system turns learning into play, mastery into joy, and prepares graduates to think algorithmically, see through propaganda, and lead with intellectual courage. The result is a liberated mind capable of creating new problems, preventing wars, and shaping the future.
