The diagram of the Dark Enlightenment above is incomplete.
It is missing Contentionism. I corrected this omission.

.Hey fool, Martin Armstrong is always correct.

A client has tweeted a picture of a slide from our 1998 World Economic Conference tour we did around the globe. In retrospect those forecasts were simply astonishing all based upon alignments with the ECM. I think if I had another whole lifetime, this whole thing would keep me occupied trying to figure out this amazing order masked by what people think is random chaos. The ECM is simply the frequency of life for everything seems to align with it no matter what the field. The mere fact there are the Four Blood Moons that line up to 2 days before the turning point 2015.75 when there was no input regarding planetary movement is just mind-bending.
This is not my theory – it was my discovery.

Quote from: Armstrong
ANSWER: It is impossible to create any system that is random. No matter what, in computing, a pattern will always emerge precisely as this pretend random image that quickly falls into a pattern. It is simply impossible to create a truly random number generator. In gambling, there are card counters that they make illegal. Look at a casino and you will notice that they rotate the dealers regularly moving them from table to table. WHY? Because they will end up in a pattern.
Armstrong is correct. The more scientific way of stating is that the entropy of the universe is not infinite, rather it trends to maximum. Thus Bitcoin's proof-of-work is more randomized than proof-of-stake, because the entropy of spontaneous outcomes includes every computer in the network trying to guess the mathematical solution (for the nonce of the hash) to the next block in the block chain.
How can you all continue to deny that NOTHING in the universe is random?
The Second Law of Thermodynamics (which even Einstein said was more fundamental than his relativity) says entropy trends to maximum, not is infinite. Infinite entropy would be required for a truly random universe.
If you want to explore more the meaning of infinity w.r.t. to our universe and the properties of our minds, see my two blog essays:
http://unheresy.com/The%20Universe.html#Matter_as_a_continuum
http://unheresy.com/Information%20Is%20Alive.html#Algorithm_!=_Entropy
Rather the appearance of disorder (a.k.a. randomness) is an illusion of complexity of high entropy.
Maximum entropy is obtained with the maximum number of potential equiprobable outcomes, i.e. maximum degrees-of-freedom which is same as saying maximum potential energy. I explain that and give citations at following posts:

Being offended or jealous about the warning of highly intellectual content ahead, implies that you are not confident that you are in the category of highly intellectual.
No, being offended by the warning of highly intellectual content when said content is the opposite of highly intellectual actually implies that you're a dumbass who can't tell the difference between a rational argument and a bullshit rationalisation for blatant racism/sexism/other -isms I'm probably forgetting, and our comments were intended to be insults to that effect.1. You've conflated ESR's highly intellectual taxonomy with the comment thread which ensued (below it) with the likes of the racist James A Donald. Conflation is a trait of those who are not highly intellectual.
2. You've conflated manisfestations of truth which conflict with your sense of fairness and conflate these with irrational -isms. For example, the statement that blacks on average have lower IQs than whites is a scientifically measured fact. Also some of James' statements about hypergamy are in fact true. However, he uses these correct facts ("Damned Facts") to further his racist political control agenda because average anything is not congruent with degrees-of-freedom and if you've read any of my intellectual writings then you know I how important I think degrees-of-freedom are to fitness.

Interesting to see the votes thus far. I expect most Bitcoiners will not vote "no".
Get used to disappointment.At least it is congruent.

[I'm only joking Anonymint - as little as I care to admit it I find myself strangely drawn to your posts - in the very same way that some people are drawn to a car crash. I always come away feeling a little ashamed of myself

I don't have much to add on the Dark Enlightenment, its way over my feeble head - but I think you may find more like minded people here - and possibly a more stimulating discussion for yourself.

I have long studied the mechanisms of Dark. For example, the curious Dark Switches on the wall that when turned in the down position, suck all the light out of the room. These can be noted to be connected to the active mechanism, the Dark Bulb, for for the newly energy conscious, the Dark Noodle.https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5457696
....
There is a massively huge Dark which orbits the Earth and vacuums up light on a 24 hour basis. It was once believed that all of these minor Dark entities originate from the Dark Side of the Moon. Now we know that verily, it is the Poles of the Moon which shelter the Craters of Eternal Dark, where for billions of years only the light of far away stars has impacted.
Then there are Books, which cannot even be read in the Dark, which proves their transient nature and even worse, computer screens the abject enemy of Dark, intruding into every corner with luminiscent glowing horrror.

I'm aware of the context of your expression, I was merely using wordplay to craft an insult which apparently went right over your head, so I'll rephrase it in terms you can understand: you're dumb. If you disagree, well, you're welcome to your Dunning-Kruger bliss.Interesting to see the votes thus far. I expect most Bitcoiners will not vote "no".

Where does the term Dark Enlightenment come from? Inspired by the pugnacious writings of Mencius Moldbug, the prolific blogger who serves as the movement’s unofficial center of gravity, the neologism is the creation of philosopher Nick Land. In 2012, Land wrote an impressively thorough manifesto titled simply The Dark Enlightenment, which boldly articulates the movement’s central thesis: “For the hardcore neo-reactionaries, democracy is not merely doomed, it is doom itself. Fleeing it approaches an ultimate imperative.” The essay continues, ”[Neo-reaction] conceives the dynamics of democratization as fundamentally degenerative: systematically consolidating and exacerbating private vices, resentments, and deficiencies until they reach the level of collective criminality and comprehensive social corruption.”

Complaint the first: We are all being lied to – massively, constantly, systematically – by an establishment that many DE writers call “the Cathedral”. Its power is maintained by inculcation in the masses of what a Marxist (but nobody in the DE, ever, except ironically) would call “false consciousness”. The Cathedral’s lies go far deeper than what most people think of as normal tactical political falsehoods or even conspiracy theories, down to the level of some of the core premises of post-Enlightenment civilization and widely cherished beliefs about the sustainability of racial equality, sexual equality, and democracy.
Conspiracy theories go way deeper than this.
im so sad i cant read it cuz me stupido:(

Because they have a flavorful mix of dangerous truth-telling and utter bogosity going on.
