Transcript of this episode, as transcribed by YouTube.
You are listening to the Age of Transitions. I’m your host, Aaron France. Uh coming at you live this Friday night, August 28th, from the facilities of ochell.com.Uh and this is it. This is the last time. Usually, I would say every Friday, but this is going to be the last show of the Age of Transitions podcast and radio show ever.So, there it is. I’m just going to say it out of the gates. And uh it’s um there’s there’s a there’s a lot to say.Uh there’s been a lot to say. I’ve been doing this for a long time. I just looked at uh the wayback machine online and I didn’t know that was still running but that is still up fortunately and I saw the age oftransitions.com.It looks like I started the website in December of 2010 and on there it says uh new radio show coming soon which was Trans Resistor Radio. Let’s see here. I’m going to click on the radio link here. Trans Resistor Radio um from December 10th, 2010. It says podcast coming soon. Trans Resistor Radio. So, I’ve been doing this podcast for 15 years. Been doing the podcast. I started the Age of Transitions video 2008. I did the trans alchemy thing for a couple years and then I started my own website at the end of 2010 2011. been doing this ever since. So, it’s been a long time.Right now, best I can figure in 2016, you joined me to bring sometimes the age of transitions, but it wasn’t called that yet. It was Transresistor Radio still and sometimes themes and memes.Yeah.Uh we only got a couple of themes and memes out there and then it went to trans resistor radio all the time and uh then you said, “You know what? Age of Transitions is the title change. And I don’t know exactly when that happened. It’s been quite a flow. But we’ve been doing this for about a decade, you and me. Yeah.Uh which is fascinating to me. And uh I’m a little sad, but I totally understand. And uh knew it was coming even before you told me. And you only told me a couple of days ago.Yeah, I really did. I I told you that in my immediate email. I kind of knew this was coming, but you you never said anything. Um, but anyway,I didn’t and you might have known before me, Chuck. And uh I I essentially made the hard and fast decision this past week. And I mean, this is something that’s been on my mind as a possibility for a really long time, honestly. And uhI’m going to I’m going to get out of the way. Uh, however, in the chat room, phase shifter is saying, I think it was 2017 and April that uh you started here.That’s what he says.Okay. Um, and that may be true, but previous to him doing a regular broadcast here, I had him and uncle as a guest on my show, and they were the first ones that I approached and said, you know what, let’s do this. Uh, and I wanted to build the network. So, it’s been about 10 years that I started building the network, but I didn’t have other hosts. Uh, I had all the infrastructure in place already when we brought Aaron and Uncle on. Uh, but the original mix was supposed to be Trans Resistor and Themes and Memes and uh, Uncle Occasionally. It was going to be like a movearound kind of thing where we might have two of any of the three shows. Um, and uh, and then Uncle was just the perfectly strange thing to do.And I’m really really proud of the work that I’ve done with you and I thank you for uh, taking me along on this little journey and letting me be part of it.That’s all I want to say uh on your final show and I will kill my mic and let you do the rest, brother, because you do it the best. Go ahead. Iappreciate that, Chuck. And it’s been great. I’ll just say first of all to be at ochelli.com and uh honestly the network, the two things that have kept me going for uh years now are the Ochelli Radio Network.I it’s the only place that I would want to be doing this a live radio show and the listenersthose are the two things those are those are the two things that really mean anything at all to be honest but uhthemes and memes is it’s funny that you mentioned that because I want to start out the show mentioning that I have shut down the themes and memes podcast um stream so at the end of the month the themes and memes is not going to be a podcast. They’re not going to be there on the podcast uh apps. Um now, originally I thought I was just going to come on the show this week and say that, but I kind of made the decision uh to just ax the whole thing and and that it’s it’s I could get into to the long story, but it’s it’s not really I don’t think I will. I’ve got a lot of notes that I want to go over here, so I’m going to do my best in in mentioning everything. Uh, I’ll do some housekeeping at the front of this. Uh, along themes and memes is going to be gone at the end of this month. I believe I’m going to keep the age of transitions and the uncle the podcast uh podcast feeds up for an additional month. So, if anybody cares, you can go back and download episodes. I don’t know if anybody wants them, but this is going to be the last chance to download them if you want to keep them for some reason. that will be I’ll keep them up for the month of September and then those feeds will be gone. Uh other things I’m going to axe because a big part of this isn’t just cutting the show. It’s I I’ve made the choice to be less online.My my kids are getting older and they’re not going to be around forever. I want to, you know, be uh be here with them as much as I can and also kind of, you know, show the them I want to where I can like show them how horrible on life actually is. And I have no pretense that I’m going to stop them from being online or stop them from like playing games or doing apps or or any of that, but I just want to like as as in as far as I can show them the darker side of this whole thing. And I’ I think I’ve done pretty good with that as a father so far. But uh what’s up, John?Yeah, quick strike on that. Um, you know, this is something that it took me a while to get to and you’re doing it at a younger age than I did, which is the realization that as a father, you’re not there to shape your kids. You’re there to give them the option to understand things ahead of time and to prepare them as best you can. Yeah.Uh that doesn’t always work well, but it is your job to sit there and say, “Look, I I know you’re going to do whatever you’re going to do, whether it’s drugs or it’s, you know, online stuff.” And yeah, those two are relatable. They’re both dopamine- based response systems.Okay?Uh whether it’s online activity or drugs or sex or anything else. As a father, you find eventually that you’re there to provide the guideposts if they want to read them. And that’s the best you can do. And the fact that you want to be more present with your family is the most reasonable and sensible reason I’ve ever heard for anybody quitting doing this. Is that it is time consuming and you’d rather be more present with your family because you do know that that is only there for a limited time where you have them under your roof. You have them supposedly under your control, under your care, and under your protection.And if you’re spending a lot of time doing this, you’re not spending as much time doing that as you want to. Uh I homeschool my son still. And on a daily basis, I do that. And uh it’s exhausting sometimes to be honest with you because he’s a little special. All right? And uh look, it’s what we do. We’re trying to prepare them because eventually we won’t be here to give them advice. Eventually we won’t be here to do stuff for them because we’re either too old, too sick, or we’re dead. It’s just the way it’s going to be. So,we’re trying to prepare him for that day. And that’s really ultimately what I feel like is the job description of a father, my brother. So, sensible and sober is your decision. And I just uh didn’t know why exactly, but I had a feeling it was coming, like I said. Um, and uh, you know what? I hope nobody’s angry with you about this cuz I know some people are going to be disappointed and sad that you’re stopping and there’s going to be no more uncle and but you know what? Everything comes to an end and everything comes to an end for a reason. Um, so this is one of the most sober and positive reasons I’ve ever heard for something like this coming to an end. So I just wanted to note that again. I didn’t even want to open my mic again, but I felt compelled. So sorry to take up your time. I’ll give you extra if you want it. You know that. So, uh, whatever we do tonight, we do. Thank you, man. Thank you for letting me speak. And again, thank you for letting me participate in this with you.Well, thank you, Chuck. I appreciate the uh the kind words there and um yeah, like I said, the network it’s it’s uh it’s been a good place to be. It’s been the only online network I’d want to be at. There’s uh we’ll get perhaps more into my opinions of that sort of thing. Maybe toward the bottom of the show, but at the top I’ll get back to the housekeeping at the start here. Um the so the feeds are going to be up for another month. Uh, I am going to cut the Patreon campaign. I’m gonna get rid of that. I’m gonna get rid of my Twitter X account. I don’t need that.The Uncle Instagram, I’m on the fence with, I might keep that. Uh, all the live stream channels associated with the Uncle Show, I have no need for them. The Twitch, the Rumble, those are all going to be gone. I get rid of those things.Um, I will be keeping the website, The Age of Transitions, up. I will be keeping the YouTube channels up for uncle and the age of transitions.So on the age of transitions.com and possibly the YouTube side. Um I’m going to keep them for if I feel compelled to make more material, which I think I may.I uh I I can’t say for certain now. I haven’t made the decision. And and honestly, it comes down to if I feel inspired to make something, I just will. Um, and I don’t know I don’t know what that answer is now, but it will be on the age of transitions.com. The website will stay. It’ll be nice to get rid of uh a lot of these things for one reason to be less online because I don’t need things like Twitter and all that, but then also to cut down expenses uh because um there’s a few of them. I’ll be cutting quite a lot with a lot of the uh these different things. So, we’ll see. I I’ll I’ll have the money to keep the website the hosting fees up and I and I may continue uh making things.The most likely thing that I would do that I could see that I have the idea of and I would like to continue doing now is to continue on with the Patreon idea of looking for truth in all the wrong places and make a video series of those. I may be doing that. So that’ll go on to the YouTube channel and uh the age of transitions.com. Unless I can find a good alternative to YouTube, I may use that, too. But we’ll see. I don’t know.That’s just um that’s just all in the maybe category. But the age of transitions.com, it’ll be there. The revolve book, I’ll keep that up if anybody wants to buy that. That’ll still be on uh Lulu, which is the print on demand publisher I use. It’ll the the ebook will still be on Amazon. That’ll still be available. So, that’ll stay up.Um yeah, we’ll see. We’ll we’ll see what happens. But, uh, if inspiration strikes and I feel the need to make something, I will. I think that’s honestly that’s when I’m at at my best. So, uh, we’ll we’ll just take things as they come.But uh today was an interesting day in synchronous synchronicity in a sense in that I uh didn’t did not expect to talk about this but I watched the film the Odyssey Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey. Everybody knows that that’s a big film of the year really. And I watched it in an IMAX theater. The way it’s meant to be seen, right? an IMAX theater in the cursed city of Ontario, California.They really need to rename that city to America, California.I’m waiting for that day any day of the week now. They rename Ontario. But anyway, go and just going in, driving to the theater.I was just taking in the bizarness of the way that American cities are laid out and planned and built. Only in America are things the way like this. and then driving around the outside of this theater and just the vastness and like the insanity of the construction and imagining a civilization in the future somehow if this structure survived like a thousand years which it’s not built to so that wouldn’t happen but let’s just you know for the sake of this idea in my head if some future civilization were to see this what would they think of it and how would they like try to in anthropologically interpret this and I can’t imagine it would be good. But that was going into the theater. Okay. And then I watched the movie. Um, and man, first of all, I really like the movie. I think it was worthy of the Odyssey as as the epic story that it is. the the of classical antiqu antic anticipathy. old um pivotally important story in um classical and now also western civilization and it was a good movie and the point of the movie and the point of the Odyssey as a whole if I’m interpreting it right is that only epic stories such as the Odysius viously and myths, myth telling, epic storytelling and um narrative fiction is the only way that we have to present lost history.And it’s the whole piece is about the bronze age collapse which is itself a historical reality.Most important for the fact that we don’t know what the hell happened. We know that there was a Bronze Age. We know that there was a Troy, a city, a civilization. We kind of know that it was there and we know that that was real. And the only trace that we have of it left, the only trace we have of it left is the story.And that’s the only understanding we have of an entire civilization that existed.And there’s a lot there’s a lot in that, I think.And it’s Are you all right?Yeah, I’m I’m okay. This is affecting me more than I thought it would check. But uh Okay, look, if you need to take a moment, you know, you do that. If you want me to go to a break, just say it.No, no, it’s not necessary. No, no, no, no. It’s okay. No, no. Sorry.This it’s it’s all good. Um I think I made the point is that something that we want to look at is just like the story that somebody made up. It’s not. First of all, it’s an attempt to tell history when you can’t do it. You can’t you couldn’t, as hard as you try, you can’t do it. It’s lost forever. It’s not coming back. And the closest thing we have to it is this story.sum the bronze age collapse which is itself the bronze age what it’s alchemically charged as a name that we give this period in time for this lost civilization that too is symbolic and significant the bronze age collapse uh in the alchemical sense thinking about history as an al alchemical process and how do we interpret history. Do we look back on the golden age that was lost and each subsequent age is a degradation? You have the bronze age, then you have later the Iron Age, that’s man devolving, the deevolution of man or we more esqueological and see the golden age in the future that hasn’t happened yet.And depending on who you’re asking and who’s interpreting what, well, I mean, that’s your answer there. But we could go either way with that.Um, but of course, I mean, I think people are seeing what I’m getting at here, too, is that the fate of Troy could very easily be our fate.our being America and the American Empire or even the world as we know it now like the global system it could you know it just depends in the technological society we live in the scale grows doesn’t it soI mean to not think about these things and realize that and put yourself in your placeI don’t know how one can’t do that but um so I took that from the movie for one thing. Um, but in the movie too, there’s talk of Zeus’s law within um the uh Greek uh civilization. That’s like this code that they live by which is not unlike the golden rule that we know of in Christendom and in western civilization and in modern times. We know what the golden rule is. Treat everybody as you would be treated as you yourself would want to be treated. Right? We know that.I said it. Um but Zeus’s law to paraphrase from the movie basically says that um treat a stranger or anybody coming to you as if they were a god in disguise because if they were and you treated them wrong, well then Zeus is gonna get even with you, right?That’s Zeus is known to do that kind of thing. So, you better be nice to people that come up to you, no matter who they are.Golden rule, Zeus’s law.And on that note, the idea of Zeus’s law, there’s one more news story that I’m going to read out on the age of transitions ever. One more that I’m going to cover and it’s keep Zeus’s law in mind when we’re going over this one.This is from motherjones.com.The title is, “This Palunteer billionaire’s passion project is criminalizing homelessness.”Joe Lndale’s Cicero Institute lobbies to make sleeping outdoors a crime. Under Trump, the federal government is listening. I’m not even going to read this article. Basically, it says that this guy Lawndale, of course, you know, he he has his think tank, which is this Cicero Institute, and it’s essentially lobbying for these laws to make it illegal to be homeless, right? We got to lock people up. We got to start locking people up for sleeping outside. We can’t have this, not in our civilized society.And it just strikes me that this is the complete opposite of upholding Zeus’s law of the golden rule of all that. It’s polar opposite and it’s very telling because Lndale and his associates are the ones who are in charge now.full stop.These are the guys in charge of our civilization.Okay? Now, I’m not saying we have to care about Zeus’s law. I’m not even saying we have to care about the golden rule. I’m not I’m not the lawbringer. I’m not any of that. Just some normal guy pointing stuff out. It’s all I ever been on this show.Um but uh yeah, Lndale and Company are the current de facto rulers of America. They and by extension the American Empire.Um and how have they gotten to their exalted position?Well, it seems to me that they’ve gotten to where they are by exploiting the worst perversions of what makes America great.They are the exemplars of the perverse version of America.How so? Well, they exemplify total greed, elevating self-indulgence as the height of achievement, justifying total abandonment of those deemed weak, and throwing out the idea of government of, by, and for the people replaced with their libertarian their libertarian dystopia in which they rule via a command and control central operating system.It’s a fascist technocracy that they are building and they’ve done pretty good within.They’ve done far too well with this and they’re not done yet.not as not uh if they get their way at least which I’m not saying that they will or that they have to. Okay, I don’t want to make this seem hopeless because it’s not.But I I do want to leave by parting not only saying I want to be less online myself, but a reminder to everybody and this is in all seriousness everything I’m saying tonight is that the online world is theirs.the whole thing. It is theirs.There are no winning battles under their terms of service. And that’s the way that it operates here. That is the law, not Zeus’s law, not the law of the constitution. That doesn’t matter here.Not this is not of, by, or for any people other than them. There is no winning.End of story. That’s my opinion. And again, I’m I’m leaving the show with things that I want to like impress upon the audience.That’s how I feel.That’s how it is as far as I’m concerned. Okay.Tying a bow on things. The truth movement. Let’s talk about that because before I even did the website or the age of transitions video in 2008 before that I was a member of the truth movement. I was in it. I was devoted. I was a devote. I was in initiated into it. I was a cult member. That’s okay because I look back on it fondly. I don’t like hate myself for doing that.And in fact, I will say now that I, as a self-proclaimed member of the truth movement, I do believe that I have gotten what I came for.And what that would be is, isn’t it obvious?The truth is what we came for, right? Is that was my understanding at least. And and I say that I need to, you know, be a little humble and say I don’t have the whole truth. I don’t have like the truth in capital letters. Nobody can. Nobody can have that. But as close as you can get to the truth and like honest understanding, I feel that I’ve I’ve I’ve done it. I think I did it and and I’m happy.And that takes nuance.It takes nuance. It takes uh realization of hard realities as a truth and it takes humility.I think I’ve I think I’ve done that as much as as is possible.Now when it comes to attaining success in the truth movement once again as far as I’m concerned that is the opposite of success as what? As a good content creator.Content creator.It’s interesting to think of the term creator in the idea of our creative power as humans. as gods. We’re not gods. We’re we’re humans. And at our best, we’re emulating gods, right? The Odyssey plays around with that idea, too, for what that’s worth.And relationships to gods. More on that later. We’ll talk about that.The remnants of the old truth movement, they’re still here. The remnants, there’s there’s Well, there’s a couple. anybody with any sense left a long time ago for the most part. Um but any little bits and scraps that are left and human scraps or otherwise uh digital simulations similacrims of people that are left over um it’s a lot of creators have surrendered to the dictates of the various digital platforms of people that I see from when I did the start of uh the age of transitions website I was looking at when I look back and I think of people as involved with then or or subsequent years. I have really good memories still of doing all that stuff and I I and there were great times. Um they’re really great times and I think we made good material too.Um but even like when I think of back of even certain people, they’re not the same person anymore. At least not their um their persona, their digital persona, which is not them. And I’m not I’m not gonna sit here pointing fingers like that digital persona. I don’t like that guy because I know that’s not it can’t be the the digital persona can’t be the real person. So, I’m not going to be judgmental and be like this guy’s bad because of this. This guy’s bad because of that. They’re bad because of this.I I there’s there’s some that are so shameful in what they’re doing. they deserve to be called out, but um most people are just doing what they have to to make it. And this has become a career for so many people. And if I had done what they did, I I would I’d be trapped like they are.But um it’s just crazy. It’s it’s I I never I never fully bought in. And that’s why I for one, I’m not a successful content creator. I haven’t really ever been. Um but that’s okay too.Uh so uh it’s it’s ir I find it ironic. think about the truth movement again that and this is actually kind of another optimistic point when it comes to the I’m not going to say stated goals because nothing was ever stated explicitly as a goal of the truth movement like it’s all kind of nebulous which is okay but um I think that the truth movement actually was successful in their battle to bring the truth to the masses.It was a success. And pat yourselves on the back, everybody. It worked. It worked.And by that I mean the mainstreaming of conspiracy culture that that not only has that happened but the degree to which that has happened is completely understated by I think everybody. I nobody even really ever talks about it. That’s been one of the things I’ve been trying to make the point of on the show, especially of as of late, is like, look, they did it. The truth movement won the battle that they could they were going out there trying to win over hearts and minds and, you know, like sharing different bits of what they thought was the right ideas about things. And those ideas spread. It worked.It worked. the information campaign, the information dissemination campaign, the influence operation, the propaganda operation or whatever we want to call it. That was the truth movement. It worked. Okay. So, in a way that is a positive thing and in another way I think we understand how it hasn’t been positive.Um, and you can see it. It’s it’s plain to see especially for us old heads, right?And I know listeners to this show know full well what I’m talking about. When you see the whole of everything that was MAGA is MAGA on the way out. I don’t know. But whatever that was and still is, it was brought to you by conspiracy culture. It was taking little bits and pieces of it, building it up. We know you like that. We’re going to use it.We’re going to sell it to you in a political package, a political sales package. And it worked in a national election setting.things like the Ron Paul revolution were harbingers of that. And if you’re being honest about part of the same thing, it actually worked.And and we know that this goes well, it’s American politics and the electoral drama that we have been seeing since at least 2016. It goes back further, I know, but let’s just say it started in 2016. That whole fiasco was brought to you by truthing and it worked.That has yet to sink in. I don’t know if it ever will, but it should be. And the importance of that is has been lost on a lot of people. But we know that. We know that as the truth.But uh the truth movement and alternative media has been co-opted.We know this. It’s been co-opted by the same forces that have co-opted American politics.Same forces, same ones, same culprits behind this whole thing.The history of this particular subtrafuge is not well known.It deserves is deserving of a massive scale investigation.Will such an investigation ever happen? It’s doubtful, right?Comes along with facing the truth.Probably it ain’t going to happen. It should. It absolutely should. And it’s a major part of getting back on the right track if we were able to do that. I’d love to see this. I’d like to see a lot of frankly treasonous bastards be held accountable for what they’ve done because it’s not just the ones behind the scenes that have financed and influenced this in position. There have been some willing participants that are guilty of what I believe to be treason, but I’m not here. I’m I’m no lawyer. This is not a court. I did not bring the evidence.I’ll just say that that I do believe that um American politics is has been and will continue to be going in increasingly extreme directions.It’s been mad. It’s been It’s been horrible. But it could and if we don’t course correct somehow, it will get worse into outright fascism.Ethnoist political platforms will rise seemingly from out of nowhere. Even though the talking points to sell this have been building building off the same foundation that the conspira mainstreaming of conspiracy culture that was the foundation they want to build further onto that because this is all part of their uh system that they like that they want that they believe in fascism, ethnationalism, white supremacyIt’s yeah uh and what’s fascinating is that mainstream and you know quote unquote normie circles are starting to understand this and people are starting to talk about this and see it as a real potential issue. That’s good good sign.But people are still not taking it seriously enough I would say.And on that note, I’m going to once again circle back to the beginnings for me, the genesis of my uh truthing professional career, which hasn’t panned out so well in the professional sense.But uh I once again I did the age of transitions video 2008.The very first thing I really got in terms of like email, feedback, whatever response, like any the first real serious response I got was an interview invitation to Red Ice Radio, which is the show hosted by Henrik Palmrren in um Sweden. Swedish show, Swedish guy.It was, you know, just another fringe truther adjacent uh online radio early early podcast that had a lot of people from 911 truth to weird fringe UFO stuff and newagy spiritual stuff. A lot of that on there.uh a lot of things that just be goofy new age nonsense that people would just like look at. Most normie people would look at like, “Oh, that’s just a bunch of weirdos talking about UFOs and ancient runes and that you’re throwing in 9/11 conspiracy garbage.” Like, yeah, who the hell wants to look at that? Just a bunch of goofballs online. Okay, so be it. Started there. This is how it started. This is where we’re at. You know, like that meme or whatever that everybody uses now. Well, we know how it started that way and it’s how I started.And I’m just taking a look at red ice.tv. This is not an endorsement, by the way. It’s the exact opposite. But current day, I’m scrolling through this and what do I see on the front page?Um, some of these things I don’t even know if I can really read because they’re kind of explicit.Kind of. Uh, but let’s see here. I’m just going to Here’s one. Spokane arson and China’s ethnic unity law. Okay, that sounds fun. Oh, here’s a really good one. It’s from August 7th. We are not racist enough. It’s a Flashback Friday episode. Uh, number 366. We’re not racist enough.I mean, what else do I have to say? What else I have to say? They they they went from and it’s been a years’sl long process that any of us paying attention or who cared have been sitting here watching it all occur tiptoeing tiptoeing bit by bit. Um, and we could, and I will give devil’s advocate, even though I shouldn’t, and ask the rhetorical question, well, maybe over time Henrik was seduced by some sort of outside influence and became a white supremacist, racist, evil guy. Maybe he became that way because he’s influenced by some outside evil puppet master or whatever. Or maybe he was that the whole time back in 2010, back in 2008 when he invited me on the show to talk about the Age of Transitions Radio. Maybe that was the the who he was the whole time. He just didn’t he wasn’t able to put the whole truth out into the agora because the audience hadn’t been primed for it yet.I don’t know what the case is. Either way, he’s just another racist.Another racist. I’ll just I’ll just leave it at that. Another racist.another racist that is a little lacky stoogge for the larger system that is using if we want to view this as a larger network. Whether they know that they’re connected or not, it’s all part of a larger movement toward what?a government away from the people and of Zeus’s law and any of that government more in line to what the actual owners because they’ve bought everything off at least in America what they would like.So, um yeah, more extremism I see on the horizon. And uh we’ll just leave that at that. But I couldn’t end this show.I couldn’t end doing the show as a whole without attempting to give a last opinion and presentation on transhumanism.transhumanism that is if there is a central theme to the age of transitions the whole of it the website the video uh this podcast anything I’ve ever done if there’s a central theme it’s the transhumanist one is what is transhumanism and does it present a problem to humanity as a whole to freedom to uh does it represent a political problem all that is is is it an issue And my simple quick answer to that has always been yes, it is a problem. Now, let me go into deep detail as to why that is. That’s been the whole of what I’ve been doing here.But what is the future for transhumanism? What really is it going to be? Because there’s a whole lot of um salesmanship and a lot of fancy talk. It’s like, okay, how much of this is just BS that they’re spewing for some other unknown purpose that’s starting to become a little more known by each passing day? But be that as it may, what’s really going on?I think if we’re going to AAM’s razor and go with the mundane simple truth of our transhumanist future, our shared one, it’s that technology will continue develop as it has as it does as is in its nature technique what it does. The technological society by Jacquilo that process will continue almost as a natural process. It’s unnatural but it has its own unnatural law. funny enough built into it that will continue and it will force the average person to keep pace to keep up pace with technology.Now that’s interesting because that’s the reverse real reality of the utopian futurist promise in which machines take over all mundane labor functions that humans have been doing. the toil we have been doing underneath the sun forever.And if we’re talking about civilization, technology, the promise was always to be alleviated from this uh unwanted toil that comes along with living on this in this material realm.That was the promise of technology.Well, sorry. The reality is that as technology progresses, it goes faster.It allows us to do more. we’re able to do more. The alchemical process, the process of multiplication continues and grows as Kurszswwell says in a bell curve fashion. Faster, faster, faster, we’re getting more, more and more.But what is unfortunate is that the reality of instead of machines just taking things over, we and up to this point, this is the absolute truth, is that we have been forced to keep up pace with technology. Each new technology comes out, it gives us more work to do.We have more busy work and more like insanity of that is the everyday working reality for average people. It gets harder because there’s more of more to do because technology enables us to do more. So now we got to keep up.That’s going to continue. Um that’s just a base level.So that’s the mundane uh aspect.Um no such Venus project project in sight unfortunately. I wish kind of wish that there would be but I don’t believe so. Again my opinion. Okay this is my show my opinion. Um now the a AIit’s huge now. It’s here. It made it and it’s a key technology for the technocrats and will continue to be pursued at all costs. AI development will continue at the forefront of technological development at all costs which uh would be human costs, ecological costs, hell even economic costs. If there’s costs, they’re going to be paid because this thing has to continue forward. It has been deemed so by all the most important people. Okay.Now actual AGI which is key to the the idea of the technological singularity where machines become self-improving. They get better and better. They attain actual intelligence which becomes super intelligence which surpasses humans. Somewhere along the way consciousness emerges out of the machine and hi is with us. It’s a new thing living on the earth with us. This is machine being is now taking over the reigns of society if it’s that smart. Of course it would.Now I I believe that seeing as how AI would clearly take over and and be at the rates of control that it is a threat to the technocrats who want to keep and maintain control at all costs. And as such it’s hasn’t ever been an actual goal of R&D. never has been and certainly is not now.And it is a convenient sci-fi talking point to push the development of AI generally speaking.I think that’s probably the best take on AGI. I’m not saying it’ll never happen, but do do they want it to happen? Hell no. They don’t want that thing.It would be able to tell you in a second how evil they are. And I would love to hear it. I’d love to I’ I would part of me wants AGI to appear and just like even if it like comes out and tells us the reality of this that and the other thing and even starts talking crap to us individually I’ll take it as long as it like outs the reality of what’s been going onbe kind of poetic justice. But I I don’t again we’re in sci-fi territory. I I don’t see it happening.So that’s the mundane side of transhumanism.Um we we probably will have technologies imbued into us but be make us um better workers of course.What about the esoteric religious component of transhumanism and the transhumanist faith? It’s absolutely real. I’ve written about it in my book. I believe it to be real. There is an esoteric side of this. There’s a religious aspect to this and it continues.However, this we’re thinking talking about things esoteric, religious or God help us spiritual.Those are the things that defy being pinned down. Those are the things that defy explicit explanation. Those are the things that defy quantification.you know all the methods that these bozos that’s all they have at their disposal.They believe they have believed that they’re going to attain consciousness machines by some sort of like equation or algorithm like that’s how it works and that’s not how this thing works at all. And so when the esoteric religious side of this movement is really broken down, what’s fascinating is that we see the truth is that this is in the hands of the greatest fools on earth and we are living in a world that exists in a time of nihilism.Nichi’s god, Nietz, Nichzche’s I Nichch’s concept, his core concept, right? We know what it is. It’s that God is dead.And it doesn’t matter how much you don’t like that. It doesn’t matter how much you if you agree with it or not. I’m sorry. The truth of our age and our time is that God is dead. Now, there’s a whole esoteric side to understanding what that actually means, but I’m sorry, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s the truth.That’s the time we live in is a time of total nihilism.The technocrats believe that they are worthy that they’re worthy. They believe that they’re worthy inheritors of the world and they are happy with the concept of building and hell becoming gods.They have that as an impetus for what they’re doing and they think that that’s what they’re doing in the time where God is dead. They want to step in as either the creators of the new god or the new gods that have you know perfected themselves.I mean nse told us like no man is the uber mench. There’s no even the greatest among us cannot be cannot do it and these guys are not the greatest.Sorry to tell you guys if any of you are listening you aren’t. You probably think you are, but no. The answer is no, you’re not.They are financing life extension technology. They have been.You take a look at Al Core Life Extension Foundation, their Cryionics Chambers out in Scottsdale, Arizona.That shows you where their faith is.They put faith in the idea that freezing their bodies upon death, at some point their peer group is going to figure out a way to revive them.Now, that is the kind of faith that is truly impressive, I have to say.So, maybe these guys are a little more religious than I than I thought. Maybe they are a little more spiritually minded and maybe they maybe I’m starting to convince myself that these guys do know what they’re doing. Maybe.Um but then again, I look at things like Peter Teal’s Antichrist lecture and his cynical feigning that he’s a Christian up there prancing around pretending that he’s a Christian.He’s a Christian as much as he is a true libertarian or a civil libertarian. Right?He is not he’s doing that as a performance for the target audience.Who is that target audience, you ask?Well, it happens to be us and more specifically the audience at the cutting or perhaps even bleeding edge of alternative media conspiracy culture because they know that they have their fingers on the pulse of that market.They know it’s theirs.They just figure they can walk up there and say anything because they know all the right. They’ve got the analytics.They know what the hot topics are that we all like to listen to and they know they know what we want to hear. So they think in these little performative pieces that they’re giving that to us.problem is that these guys don’t can barely string two words together as it is that charisma is not one of their top qualities.I’m not saying they’re not able to do anything, but charisma is not in their bag of tricks.And wheeling back to a positive interpretation to this entire mess is that there in that you can see an opportunity an opportunity to turn things around and a cold hard fact and a reality is the reality of hubris. These guys got it in spades.They’ve got it and they’re already showing their cracks when it comes to this.They thought that they had everything sealed. They thought that they that that the final nail was in the coffin for us.And then they went out and they went on Joe Rogan, not just once, not just twice, but over and over again. They thought they could do that and that people would be so stupid. They think that we’re so stupid that we don’t see what they’re doing, that we don’t know who that they are, and that they can just go up there and talk about the pyramids of Joe Rogan and we we’re going to be cool with that. Like we’re some sort of dimwits.That’s what they think.Well, maybe some of us are. Maybe we are really, really stupid. Maybe you sold us MAGA. Maybe we voted in your puppet dictator, your little lackey that you pay off with crypto payments to get your way every time.Yeah, you you were real good. You’re real good. You did that. You are smart. You know how to do that.I couldn’t do that if I tried. I wouldn’t try, first of all, but if I tried, I would fail, I’m sure.Is that because I am inherent failure or is it because of something else? Is there something else going on there?They are not unstoppable. They’re not God’s gift to intellect. That’s for damn sure.And here’s the ultimate jab. I don’t think if you asked them that they would even be able to tell you what character they would be in a real life version of Lord of the Rings.You know what they would do? They would try to say every character in the book.They’d be like, “Well, I’m a hobbit. I’m I’m Frodo. I’m wait. I’m kind of more like Samis. Oh, I’m Gandalf. I’m a wizard. I’m great.” Uh well, you know, come to think about it, maybe I’m an orc or uh you know, maybe maybe I am Sarammon.You know, I did name that recent uh home security company after uh the eye of Sauron. So maybe maybe psychologically I was telling myself about something about the truth of who I am. But wait, no. Uh I’m Tom Bombadil.There we go. They’ll end up saying that to try to like evade all culpability for anything and ring cameras. Even ring cameras.Yeah.Got to be the lord of those rings, Aaron. That’s right. Yeah. Thank you, Chuck. Yeah, absolutely.You’re at the close of your time for the age of transitions, my brother.Well, that’s apppropo because big surprise, that’s where my notes end there. So, I guess I did that, right?So, to to cycle back to positivity, I I’ll all that out of the way. I that was I I want to leave by saying that’s what I think. That’s what I think. That’s a presentation that I’ve been trying to give. That’s what I believe is happening. And it’s, you know, that is what it is. But also doing this show has been a lot of fun and it’s been great.It’s been my creative pursuit that I need one. I need a creative pursuit and this has been it. I’m glad that it has been. And my audience is small. I know it’s complaining about being a bad content creator, but I’m also that’s what I’m most proud of is that that’s is what I’ve chosen. And the audience that has chosen to follow along is a is a great one. It’s the best one. It’s it’s a very dedicated audience. I know that you’re going to be upset that the show is over, but I’m saying don’t be. And I thank you for all of your support over the years. You’ve given a lot of it.You’ve bought the books. You’ve given to the Patreon campaign. You’ve even done a weird thing like maybe buy one of our shirts from a website. You know, you’ve you’ve showed support in so many ways.And that that that that’s everything that somebody would do that is um that means a lot. And then also uh Chuck taking me on and and um this again being the only network I’d want to be on. And uh happy to be the misfit that I am. And I may be leaving here. But don’t worry, I will be a misfit everywhere I show up. Whether that be a professional sense or otherwise that’s just who I am and I can’t that’s just how it is. So, uh, I’m glad that other misfits found it this show interesting in any way that they would actually listen to it because I I I’m, you know, we’re we have a connection and and um you can always get a hold of me because the website’s there. The age of transition is still there. You can always email me. Feel free to I I will be I’m I’m going to try to I should easily, I think, be able to respond to any two emails I get to hear from here on out. So, it’s going to be simple. So go go go ahead and email me. I’ll I’ll stay in touch. And I I appreciate it. Thank you so much. Everybody,before you close, I have one final question for you. And it’s really important. Is uncle aware of this before we turn it over to his hour. Is he aware of the end of this?He is aware. Um what that means, we will only find out in the coming hour. So, please do stay tuned for that. I I don’t know.Okay. I I I I needed to ask that question before he’s in the room and has the headphones on. I’m sorry. And that’s what we usually do during the break for everybody who doesn’t know the behind the scenes.And no, I did not let Aaron know that there were people wanting to call in. I wanted him to do his flow. And I apologize again for breaking in, but I wanted to make sure I got that question in. And um listen man, if you want to take a couple more minutes to say anything else, you go right ahead. And if you’re going to give your regular tagline or if you just want to say, you know what, go find something else to do, go ahead. I I leave the floor and the mic to you and I’ll play your outro when you stop and that’s it. And we’ll go on to Uncle and do the last live Uncle show here. So that’ll be that.All right. Well, thanks again, Chuck, for everything. You’ve you’ve done more than you’ve you you’ve done a lot. I I appreciate all the hard work, Chuck. You put in put in many hours over these years.Personal inquiry, though, really quickly again. I I’m sorry. I always have one more question. That’s my nature. Um you you were talking about people that have changed over the years. About a decade you and I have been working together.And uh first I want to know do you actually or why why are you co-ho why are you substitute hosting on the Jordan Maxwell show was one of the first questions I ever asked you anywhere. Um but uh but here’s the thing. Um I don’t think I changed much over the years. I think the commonality here, the reason why we’ve been on the same island of Misfit Toys over the years is that we had opportunities to sell out principles over the years over and over again. And not because we had a lack of desire for monetary gain, but because it was never our primary mission.We both without consulting one another chose our integrity over money over and over again and just continued to do things our own way. And that has been the consistent theme and why Aaron has been the longest standing host on the network. And I’m very proud of it. I’ve always said that. I’ve tried to suggest him and put him into any position I could to uplift him. I’ve suggested him to Coast to Coast AM when I had a chance. I suggested him to any national radio host I ever spoke to. I suggested him to television when I appeared there.I wanted Aaron Fron to get the most exposure or that he desired for his work because it always has been and will remain extremely valuable. Um, I will try to preserve as much as I can the age of transitions, transresistor radio, themes and memes, the little slice I have of it and uncle the podcast. Um, as we’ve agreed to do over the years, I will continue to have that in my archive. Uh, it’s not online currently and you guys do have a long-standing feed with me still that’s for free out there with Aaron’s stuff on it, but when it goes, it goes. And um you know, unless Aaron directs me to erase it, which if you do, I’ll follow what you ask. But um that’s the way it stands.And this has nothing to do with any problem between him and I or anything, just for the record. Um and he didn’t change and neither did I over the years.We are who we said we were in the beginning and we remained that way. So uh definitely happy to have done this with you, man. Anyway, I took the extra minutes here and I’m sorry I took it up on your air, but it’s the last chance I got to do it, so I had to. Anyway, it’s all you. And there’s Lucy chiming in behind Lucy the weenie dog, the grandma weenie dog over here. Anyways, um there you go. I I will stop interrupting you.And uh I wanted to give you a moment anyway to compose your final statement, whatever it might be for the age of transitions anyway, because it’s important to me and it’s important to the people listening. So there you go. All right. Well, thank you again, Chuck.And as far as the archive of the shows goes, it Yes, please. The agreement that we always had is always the same. Keep it. And if anything, it’s another chance to potentially preserve this batch of works that I made. I I have no pretense that it will exist for eternity. It clearly won’t. Uh like, but there’s always a possibility that maybe I’ll even lose the files. But that’s at least one other person who has them for so if only for that reason but there’s more reasons I say please keep it you know what I mean so uh and then back to the audience which is really the only thing that was left here the only thing of any importance I will say I appreciate your calling uh stay on the line because call into the uncle show please stay there please call and and we’ll talk on that um I I don’t mean to be ignoring you now, but by all means, as I said, please email me and and whatever you have questions, I will answer them. So, so frontheagransitions.com, email me. I may also be getting a mailing address as we’ve had in the past at ed used to send mail. I I I’ll probably get one of those again. I know that’s thing I’ve been saying on uncle now, but I’ve freed up some extra funds now with, you know, less expenses on this end. Now, maybe I’ll just put them over into getting a mailbox. And so if I do, the address will be there or you can send mail if you care to. So that’s another reason to check back into the age of transitions.com.Um I’ll try to whatever creative things I do if any or or whatever they happen to be, they will be at the website. So the website will continue. Thank you everybody for everything. Um, and uh, yeah, just thank you for for for being there and and and and for being a kindred spirit. Kindred spirit. I I know you’re a like mind. I know you’re on the same page and that uh, again, back to the optimism side. That’s that’s what I I know that there’s people that respect the golden rule as we all should. We should respect the golden rule. If it’s called Zeus’s law at one point in time and we choose to cause it call it the golden rule now or if we chose to call it something else in the future, it’s in essence still the same human sentiment that lays at the center of any actual functioning human society or God help us if we just decide to make an entire civilization. We’d better have that as a core tenant of it. And it’s been lost, but we can get it back. We could do it.It’s very possible. So, I know we’re all going to keep that with us. Uh, the age of transitions.com.My name’s Aaron Fron. As always, well, and forever, I guess I’ll say I’ll leave you by saying, seeker, seek on.
