Lessons from Mousetopia: Are We Defaulting Our Way to Zero?

While the nation also dodged a bullet on July 13th at Butler PA, possibly buying us some more time in this story, the war is just getting underway. The obvious lust for control over us all by The DC Blob may be itself a reflection of a deeper set of forces upon which mousetopia may shed some light.

The first part of this report concerns the alarming revelations from Marc Andreessen on the Joe Rogan podcast.  Among the many truth bombs, the ones that struck me the most were the sight that he’d been informed at a meeting at the White House that the plan was for a few large companies to dominate the AI control grid in partnership with The Blob.

A true fascistic future with a control grid being operated by authoritarians who had already demonstrated a preference for lawfare, debanking and even imprisoning their opponents.

While we could see these things in their individual consequences, I am constantly seeking a larger explanation for why they are occurring.

In the second part of today’s report, I cover “mousetopia” which culminated in Universe 25, the final experiment by John Calhoun.  The parallels with what we are seeing today in the larger human experiment are striking.

These are the questions I raise in this report:

  • How many of today’s social and cultural ills are being driven by our ‘mouse-like’ social wiring that has automatically detected that our social model is doomed in its current configuration?
  • We’re past peak of so many things yet carry on with our ‘behavioral sinks.’ Are we acting any more consciously than the non-breeding mice of Universe 25?
  • Is demoralization an automatic and entirely understandable response to being asked to live into a cultural model that is suicidal but lacks any meaning or purpose?

Great presentation and very thought-provoking! I learned about his experiments 40-50 years ago and they figure heavily into my so-called “pessimism.” The mouse-topias always terminate...
