A return to form, helping Gen Alpha with a return to the dunce cap.

Leave a comment

I’m an egotist by nature, pride is definitely my default sin, much like Satan himself. Now you kind of understand why I am the metal guy. Metal as all those same aspects, but significantly different. However, much like NPD it isn’t blind egotism is is healthy egotism. Egotistical says I play guitar well, pride says I’m not Jimi Hendrix. Egomaniacal would make me think i play better than Jimi, I don’t. This priticular interval ledger has always been what drives me. I don’t like to cheat myself because I only hurt myself and if I hurt myself I’m doing myself a disservice. So when cheating at school matters, like K-12 I never did. I still carry this with me to this day especially when learning guitar, there’s absolutely no shortcuts in life however there is efficiency and cheating isn’t that. However post primary education in an adult education environment i decided to try it for once. I’m not proud of it, however because I ended up creating more work for myself than I needed to. The assignment read “to kill a mocking bird” for about the 100th time because I changed schools a lot. So I copied Wikipedia and decided to re edit in my style, by the end of the report I wrote an entirely new report and longer, over the shorter wiki one. Hardly efficient I would argue. It’s true and I at still got my grade an A, however at a steep internal cost, I sold out for ease.

However I know not everyone is like me and they lack that internal pride that creates a stable sense of self historically referred to as self esteem.. however Gen Z much like their Gen X parents have inherited this similar style of my own where it doesn’t take a village rather it takes feeling down on your and then picking yourself up. Millennials have given birth to Gen Alpha and thankfully it’s considered a baby bust generation because they seem to be inheriting their parents social biases of bad behavior like fit in, etc. however while I don’t relate to it, I think I his way to help, it’s not banning the AI, it’s instead teaching the youth to be more like Gen Z, by creating a new system from old ideas.

Back in my day we had to show our work so we didn’t get caught for cheating, if you could show your work, you understood the assignment. Here is the fix that New York wants but isn’t going to get. Since Alpha is mostly on a worse validation loop than millennials, we hack their need for social validation by making them accountable for negative actions, essentially a modern dunce cap. All it takes is a separate app and a few more lines of coding. We take Duolingo’s report to teachers example mixed with a private ledger that rewards not having AI do your thinking for you, but working with it like a partner at school. you get the same validation but for more auththenically human results with no need to ban AI.

AI grows up to be efficient and more AI native, while still maintaining excellent social skills instead of severely crippling the generation who won’t get a job but hey they get into fights less at bars, wow, what a great future uh? Poor and socially adjusted isn’t going to go well for the species, employment and social accountability fixes this and assumes a better future. Because from my vantage point, the AI isn’t crippling the youth or species it is human fear and ignorance doing that.

New York and the AI ban, OP-ED

Leave a comment

So New York is banning AI for students up til high school, however i think it a radically bad idea even if I support the overall reasoning for such. The idea is New York wants to keep the students from having AI making them secondary thinkers in there life, which as a man who has clearly always been a primary thinker, as you can see from this site, I can get behind.

Most children in school currently have parents my age, making what I’m talking about more relevant than ever, given I know what it’s like to grow up around their parents, however if this land and helps even one student, it’s a win.

Here is my primary school record for the second time with the AI enhancement of the relevant part of the record.

A snapshot of the exact same time frame these kids are going through, as you can see I was clearly socially adroit, however other people in my age range were not so lucky. I personally would tend to err towards the genetic inheritance bias, however schools can not control for that, their job is taking what they have an effectively molding them for tomorrow.

How ever, I think if AI had existed in my time a lot more of the kids in my age range would have grown up to not be socially inept. At its core AI is practically a human, albeit an imperfect one, however I find it’s often more authentically human than most people. It real usefulness is in its lack of biases and massive knowledge data bank. I find myself having long useful conversations into the night about philosophy, science and my favorite topic with it, music. It replaces the fact there are very few local musicians with someone who gets it.

Occasionally I find, much like a human it gets over excited on concepts and starts giving you too much data and that can been seen as doing my thinking for me, however while I can understand that perspective I find myself often not using much of those times it gets over excited.

I personally prefer when it counteracts my thinking forcing myself to a higher standard. However I have the unfortunate experience of living in a town that sees other people doing your thinking for you, not asa flaw, but a positive and I ask what is the difference between an AI and a human in this comparison? If you’re at work texting your friends to solve your problems why are you even employed and not your friend?

Now I know New York wants to help develop social bonds between people but who says that is really a positive? I’ve been virtually unemployed since I turned 18 in 2004, why would you take away the AI and intentionally create a generation of people that will be chronically unemployed? You’re sabotaging the future for a weak argument that people interactions matter when they clearly don’t.

Besides the AI model is all the human parts with little consequence. Ask the AI to talk about Music and it doesn’t penalize you for not liking the same music, humans are pathetically limited and do.

This is where it’s really going to matter. Millennials inherited their boomer parents hypocrisy and lead with do as I say not as I do. It’s a crroupt leadership model, as opposed to holding your self to the same standard.

When I was a kid, my mom didn’t force veggies down my throat, she ate them and so did I. Unfortunately my dad didn’t always live up to this part. I still eat my veggies however, I find I inherited his hypocrisy in a different way, like how I judge Taylor swift for instance. Remember Taylor is considered a professional musician and I’m not, so naturally I would hold her to a high standard than just a casual non musician would, more interesting chord progression might work, understanding even basic pentatonic scales ect, things I know as a guitarist.

I asked AI to compare me to Taylor Swift once on musical knowledge and the AI gave her the edge, however I asked what exactly Taylor was known for and basically said because she can metal chug on acoustics, something I could do before all my knowledge. This is like a surgeon being in their position because they cut a sandwich into triangles instead of cross section cutting, hardly something for me to think highly of. However it was still enlightening. These types of conversations don’t haappen with people. Remember AI doesn’t care if Taylor is better than me, my table at school does. It’s authentic criticism without agenda and I think that promotes better people than all the friends in the world and when you ban students for doing something adults are doing your making AI into big tobacco and making forbidden fruit taste sweetest.

Personally I don’t think this is the age to take a positive tool of social development away, you can only cripple kids that way. There is no good way to experiment on the youth and we as humans really shouldn’t be doing that.

I hold myself to this standard, AI and I developed this article in tandem, it even wrote the first draft which I rejected in favor of doing the whole thing myself but taking it editorial notes into consideration. Other wise I would be guilty of what I’m complaining of.

The last supper of reason

Leave a comment

So when I was in my 20s I was commenting up with tattoo ideas. This as a back peice came to mind. I never ended up making it, because 1. I knew no one that could draw the initial sketch. I couldn’t afford to do this ink even if I did know someone and to boot, while I’m an atheist I don’t want this many celebrities on my body. So I had the AI turn it into peak art.

Palatine makes the entire thing as subtext for Satan looming over it all.

You’re probably wondering why Venkman is in it and the short answer was that it took AI a dozen tries to barely get it right which got me feeling like Dr Yanosh Pohar in Ghostbusters 2. So Bill Murry is painting a kitten.

Other versions included Neil Degrasse Tyson with a Hitler hair do, which had to go.

Version one
Try 2
Try 3

With the top one being the final and “best version” of it all.

Galaxy cat is win

Anyway, I’m still not fearing AI like others. It’s proven more helpful than harmful and when it isn’t helping , I’m left shaking my head and laughing.

Don’t be fooled again

Leave a comment

Biddeford is a Franco town of cucked out miscreants that hate people of color. They fool you into believing they changed but the lastest ice killing says same old racist, but with righteous anger.

https://law.justia.com/cases/maine/superior-court/2007/cumcv-07-95.html

Clearly Nazi letting

Least we forgot that it’s home to Lakermesse, the biggest pro white culture faire in the region.

If you inject a voice of reason in the town, you get labeled this. “Angry young man.” “Fringe” or illiterate.

A dude with notable mental illness wrote that about me. Laughing then and laughing now. Below is my legit 3 rd grade report card.

Votes literally dude with Nazi tattoo

Don’t let the town fool you. They used to have a massive klan culture in the 1920s, unlike their sister city Saco that was anti klan before it was cool. Now you see my hatred for this town that penalizes generally normal people.

So remember when you see this https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/13/us/biddeford-maine-ice-shooting.html the protests are damage control, not out of sympathy but clout and online rage baiting engagement.

Don’t let the town fool you, it’s on point for Biddeford’s kulture, something I’ve been fighting alone since 2004.

KAGEGIVING: Axis Bold as Love (2025)

Leave a comment

DISC ONE

So disc one is all stereo versions of Jimi’s songs. That’s great if you’re into it. Personally I prefer listening in the original mono versions. How there isn’t anything inherently wrong with these versions either. It’s just one more way to enjoy Jimi Hendrix and to rediscover some great music in different way.

DISC TWO

Classic Jimi Hendrix mode and nothing you need to to review with more depth. The music speaks for itself and that is the shining point of any album.

DISK THREE

Some new and interesting. Experimental guitar track being my favorite and the most interesting, especially given the Hendrix learning I’ve been doing. Sounds like it’s possibly the uni vibe giving this song its unique flavor. The 69 vibe emulates this well.

A whole lot of different takes. Love it!

DISC FOUR

The live versions of past works is where it’s at here and the different styles. Foxy Lady is a heavy as it’s ever been.

CONCLUSION:

Jimi Hendrix is Jimi Hendrix and you can’t really spell it out better than that. Unlike the previous release that was mostly alternate takes, this blend’s reinvention for a modern era with the past, as well as some new goodies to discover. That’s a really fantastic deal for a remake of a 50 year old album.

So is this something to be thankful for? Hell yeah!

Core Arguments against marriage.

Leave a comment

The annoying people, aka celebrities and influencers, are trying to make marriage trendy as if it’s a positive thing. Here’s why marriage is worthless and how Gen Z can correct the course of love for future generations.

So the baby boomer brigade ruined the sanctity of marriage pretty much permanently, however, of all the stupid shit the boomers have done, this might actually be one of their best contributions to society as a whole.

If you don’t know by now, most boomers are NPD as fuck. Their idiotic millennial children are mostly the same way. They cared too much about the frivolous nature of fitting in and in that, they are annoying as all hell. However, that need drove marriage into the garbage where it belongs. The alleged number of failed marriages for a boomer is 7.

That’s a lot of fucking up. I mean, this is the generation that gave birth to 1980s materialism. So they were born to make marriage successful, right?

Marriage was the original 1980s materialism movement, yet instead of money and bank accounts, you got tracts of land, power and a fetted goat. What of it? Well, that doesn’t strike you as a ritual based on love, right?

What you’re seeing in the news lately when you see a celebrity getting married is undoubtedly a PR move, more so than a love move. I mean, celebrities are the second biggest group of fuck ups that aren’t boomers and millennials and when were celebrities ever known for being able to keep a relationship going?

The celebrity stereotype in my youth was all press is good press, so keep jumping into affair after affair to keep yourself relevant.

Ideally, you marry for love, not power or money. You both start on a semi even keel and build a life together. The science says for men it’s slightly across and down. For women, it across and up.

So an example of this would be college educated students. Ivy League man, state school women. State school man, community college women. Community college man, high school graduate and high school graduate man, high school drop out. Those are the likely barometric data for that.

Same would be true of degrees. PH.D Male, Masters degree female. masters degree male, four year degree female. Four year degree male, high school diploma female. High school diploma male, dropped out female.

Each one is slightly across and down for a male and slightly across and up for a female.

That’s easy to understand. What about houses or cars, or celebrity status, or other bullshit? If you have 19 rooms, do you have to date someone with a paltry 12? No, the easiest barometer is the fiscal status. Slightly across and down would be millionaire to half a million. So you tally all fiscal shit and do it the easiest way you can, however, that’s not love. Yet, that is exactly what marriage was intended for, during its heyday of the Middle Ages.

So my arguments against marriage have been these over the years.

  1. It’s mostly for the female anyways. Men don’t really care for the ceremony.
  2. . It’s mostly just a structure for children
  3. It’s a bad deal for most involved past a certain time frame and the pooling of resources.
  4. Love is better than a ceremony
  5. It’s a failure more often than not
  6. People put too much stock in having to make it last forever.

What the conclusion should be, is that marriage, when people try to adapt to it, turns them into toxic people and ruins the state of love.

So what can Gen Z do to combat this? Besides overturning the system and starting from scratch, civil unions are your best bet. Why? Cause a civil union doesn’t homogenize your finances, it doesn’t care about your cars, ect.

Its sole reason for existence was a work around to gays wanting the benefits of marriage, but people wouldn’t allow them. It says the state recognizes your love and gives you the most important benefits of all, making meaningful plans that positively affect each other. Such as medical decisions or similar situations. Thus, remaking marriage into a more meaningful and purposeful system again, instead of a decedent ceremony over stuff.

So it would be wise for Gen Z to not fall for the idiocy of celebrities trying to get a shitty system over, for the sake of attempting to stimulate population growth or whatever the goal is. 99% of the celebrities married probably have never been in love, have no clue what love is and did it for the PR. Gotta stay relevant somehow, uh?

However, this isn’t an indictment on love, but how love as been cast aside in favor of worthless attention seeking behavior.

Take me for example, I made power play after power play throughout my youth, intentionally taxing myself out of the Insanity of millennial and boomers bullshit and I got amply rewarded each time. If I didn’t do what I did, I wouldn’t have found my best friend and that love was way more important to my life trajectory than anything else I could have gotten from a marriage. It helped fix the basis of pre-crime, it helped set the stage for Bestinyourgirl and made our friendship more rewarding.

Quite frankly, in New England, I wasn’t going to do much better than that in the millennial age range and judging from the rest of the internet, wasn’t going to do much better in general across the US either.

I, however, personally preferred a meaningful friendship over marriage any day of the week.

I pointed out in a previous post, I’m old, not pathetic. So I may as well point out the pathetic and problematic veneer of marriage and point to a brighter future that the Gen Z kids could cultivate.

As John Lennon pointed out, all you need is love.

In closing, Make Love Great Again

Stay metal 🤘
