Today I sat alone in the train listening to my obscure esoteric ritual ambient music, then two conventionally attractive females joined me in my solitude, they sat in front of me and started having a mundane conversation, it caught my interest how they kept talking and laughing about trivial normie topics instead of contemplating the true essence of life and searching for a purpose within. We make eye contact for a split second but I break it immediately as she carried on the conversation with her friend, she probably thought she made eye contact with a normal awkward nerdy guy listening to his music in peace but in reality she's beholding a man that is enduring the metaphysical struggle of his race, a man with an aristocratic and adventurous spirit that yearns for celestial freedom as his mind is experiencing levitation towards a complete transcendence despite only weighing 120 pounds.

I indirectly gazed upon the females with an eye of revulsion, repulsed by their moral disintegration and degenerate lifestyle, then in complete and utter disgust I thought to myself "if only they knew how much of a wise Magian I am?" They would've given themselves to me, to fullfil my carnal desires, to plant my seed and give a chance to my offspring to exist and flourish. But of course they won't as I'm very sure they have decided to pursue this puny empty life, to have sex with the so-called CHAD. It truly is a difficult time for an intellectual like me to exist, it truly is the KALI YUGA.

The J. Alfred Prufrock of urban commuters, grim bitch of the basic sans charisma tribe, would listen to obscure esoteric ritual ambient music, but only of the driest and least moving variety, empty of lush atmosphere. (See Autechre and Aphex Twin where Groove Removal is complete.) It's not the place for it in any case. Yet the Virgin Eliot versus the Chad Stevens comparison sill applies to the author, whose wit I can't deny despite the creeps its tone excites.

Modern technology relies on a ridiculous amount of infrastructure. Not just clean power (as in, reliably at a particular frequency), but replacement parts, both disposable parts (batteries) and parts that fail, and all the industry and resource extraction and logistics that goes into them. The fall of western civilization isn't going to look like Johnny Mnemonic, with wires everywhere, nor will it look like Mad Max, with a limitless supply of gas and bullets. It'll look like mass starvation and consolidation to farming communities.
