Will to Truth versus Will to Power

There is a fundamental tension in reality that causes so many of the problems that we all encounter. It's the clash of truth and power.

Nietzsche said, “To recognize untruth as a condition of life - that certainly means resisting accustomed value feelings in a dangerous way; and a philosophy that risks this would by that token alone place itself beyond good and evil.”

Here Nietzsche highlights the indisputable fact that lies (untruth) are invested with incredible power, hence are on the side of the will to power and against the will to truth.

Nietzsche said, "What really is this 'Will to Truth' in us? In fact we made a long halt at the question as to the origin of this Will – until at last we came to an absolute standstill before a yet more fundamental question. We inquired about the VALUE of this Will. Granted that we want the truth: WHY NOT RATHER untruth?"

The stark fact is that powerful lies and delusions totally overwhelm the will to truth – just look at the course of human history. Humanity despises the Truth. It always has. It loves POWER. Untruth (whether deliberate lies or captivating delusions) has served the human Power Agenda extremely well.

Of course, power in the end must align with Truth. If a billion Christians were lined up on the fields of Armageddon at the end of history, praying fervently to their God of Untruth to smite their foes, and their foes had a hundred nuclear missiles, who would win? Here we have a direct clash between the power of delusion (untruth) and the power of reality (truth). In this case, the crazy Christians would be wiped out. Reality trumps delusion.

But now imagine a world ruled by the Catholic Church and the Inquisition. Imagine that all freethinkers, rationalists, heretics, infidels, apostates and blasphemers are hunted down and burned at the stake. Well, now we have the triumph of delusion.

It doesn't matter how aligned the freethinkers and rationalists are to the Truth. Unless the few can build an amazing weapon that can destroy their countless enemies, they are doomed, and that's exactly what has happened in human history.

The smart people have always been hunted down and killed by the moronic, deluded masses, or had to actually throw in their lot with the psychopathic leaders of the mob – the demagogues, prophets, kings, dictators and the super rich.

Many geniuses often operated in two modes: public and private (secret). They released orthodox publications to serve as their cover story, while also writing unorthodox tracts for private, trusted audiences (hence secret societies). Sometimes, they would put coded material into the public domain to try to fish for and hook new, open-minded recruits. Sometimes, they would go too far. Galileo, the first modern scientist, found himself in front of the Inquisition and was lucky to escape the stake. Giordano Bruno paid the ultimate price.

The Will to Truth always wins IN THE END because the people who have complete control over reality have total power and can destroy their enemies. However, it takes a long time to reach the Truth and unlock its powers. In the meantime, the Will to Power does not align with the Will to Truth but instead opposes it. For the longest time, lies and delusions prove much more powerful that the truth. The people that succeed are those that manipulate the imaginary truth, the pseudo-truth (falsehoods that masquerade as truth) – people such as prophets, gurus, Sophists, monarchs, the super rich and the like.

The real truth struggles in the background, lonely and lost, mostly being carried forward by a few smart, persecuted individuals.

Humanity's entire intellectual progress can probably be attributed to no more than about 1,000 people!!!! Maybe a few thousand more have made some small contributions, but that’s it. All the people that pray, meditate, sing hymns, chant, engage in mindfulness, do yoga, and what not, have not done a single thing for the progress of humanity. In fact, they have opposed it at every turn. People such as the Buddha, Moses, St Paul, Jesus Christ and Mohammed have been the falsest prophets you could ever imagine. Everything they said was nonsense, total lies and delusions, obstructing the truth in every way. These people were vehicles of the Will to Power as the Will to Untruth, in direct opposition to the Will to Power as the Will to Truth.

Science was the first human activity to start pragmatically aligning truth and reality, but it did it so only at the phenomenal, observable level. It left behind the noumenal, unobservable level where the actual Truth and source of all power resides.

Ontological Mathematics resolves this problem. It unifies the Will to Power and the Will to Truth. It explains everything!

So, the history of the human race is all about Will to Power. Ultimate power lies in the Truth, which is exactly why the Truth, ultimately, is the most prized thing of all. But before that, humanity has to endure endless lies and delusions and mystical nonsense and crazy beliefs, because these all attract a certain amount of power and then become incredibly difficult to overcome.

Reality is the Will to Truth at the syntactic level, but the Will to Power at the semantic level. At the end of the universe, syntax and semantics are perfectly aligned. Before then, Power and Truth are at war.

Our latest two books:

Soul Science: Know Your Soul by Steve Madison

Logos: Logical Religion Unleashed by Steve Madison

This second book was originally called Gödel's Religion: Logical Religion Unleashed, but Amazon refused to publish it under that title and demanded an alternative. Make of that what you will. They offered no explanation why they objected to the original title. They never do. They generally just make unexplained comments about the “customer experience”.

We are experiencing more and more problems with Amazon. Our book The Dark Triad was banned by Amazon until we removed any criticism of the government and science establishment concerning their disastrous mishandling of the Covid-19 pandemic. There have been several other baffling incidents, all of which lead us to believe that our books could be removed en masse at any time.

A recent story in The Independent newspaper is VERY SIMILAR to what has been happening to us lately: "Elon Musk has broken his recent Twitter hiatus to call out fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos over Amazon's decision to ban a controversial book about the coronavirus. The SpaceX and Tesla boss tweeted in response to a screenshot posted by the author of the self-published e-book, titled 'Unreported truths about Covid-19 and lockdowns', which showed a message from Amazon's content review department. The message stated: ‘Your book does not comply with our guidelines. As a result we are not offering your book for sale.’ Replying to the author's tweet, Mr Musk wrote: ‘This is insane @JeffBezos.’ Shortly after, he tweeted: ‘Time to break up Amazon. Monopolies are wrong!’”

For once, we agree 100% with Musk.

Amazon is becoming an ever more sinister, totalitarian monopoly. The idea that America has a First Amendment is a joke. Amazon can do whatever it likes, and suppress anyone and any content it wants to. You have no come back, unless you lawyer up at exorbitant cost, or have billionaire Elon Musk to support you.

If you like our books, be aware that thanks to Amazon’s censorship they may not be around for much longer, so make the most of your opportunity to access our books while you still have it.

The more people who buy our books, the harder it is for Amazon to remove us. If they removed all of our books from Amazon and deleted all of our books from your kindle devices, they would presumably have to refund all of you. They don’t like that! Money is always the bottom line for these sinister corporations.

It's hilarious that the West thinks of North Korea as totalitarian. You’re blind if you don’t see how totalitarian the West now is. All of Amazon’s employees might as well be North Korean given how compliantly they serve their masters’ bidding.

In our Gödel book, we wrote, “Gödel came to believe that there was a conspiracy to destroy Leibniz’s work. When asked, “Who could have an interest in destroying Leibniz’s writings?”, he replied, “Naturally those people who do not want men to become more intelligent.”

You can be sure that some people in high positions are now getting very nervous about our work. Morgue too is subject to constant harassment and censorship on Facebook, YouTube and other platforms. We are all now treading a very fine line, so don’t be surprised if one day you see all Illuminist and Hyperian content removed, and bizarre Orwellian explanations furnished by the powers-that-be.

Never forget, as it starts to look like the pitchforks are coming at last for the multi-billionaires, their behavior will become more and more erratic and irrational. These people are frightened to death of 100% inheritance tax. They will do anything to stop it.
