The author critiques the notion that old musicians like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell deserve ongoing wealth from their past work, arguing that such revenue streams are often exaggerated and that their fame is built on privilege and connections rather than solely on talent. He contrasts this with his own work, suggesting that creative output should be freely disseminated unless used for profit. The text then expands to criticize the overemphasis on celebrities like Tom Brady, Taylor Swift, and Billy Eilish, suggesting this distracts from more important societal issues. The author posits that a fundamental reason for civilization’s failure is humanity’s arrested development, suggesting humans are meant to live much longer, around 200 years, to achieve maturity and wisdom. He cites factors like environmental toxins, unhealthy lifestyles, and stress as impediments to this potential longevity, and contrasts human behavior with the simpler, longer lives of cats.

The author critiques the notion that old musicians like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell deserve ongoing wealth from their past work, arguing that such revenue streams are often exaggerated and that their fame is built on privilege and connections rather than solely on talent. He questions the reported earnings of Neil Young from Spotify and the justification for these payments, noting that older music is often obtained cheaply or for free. The author dismisses the plight of “poor artists,” stating that many, like Joni Mitchell, come from rich and connected families and that their talent is amplified by these connections. He criticizes Joni Mitchell personally, referencing an alleged past act of giving up her baby and calling her a “nasty old bitch.” The author compares his own artistic endeavors, such as painting and writing articles, to musicians, questioning why he shouldn’t receive royalties for them. He introduces the concept of “Phoenicians” in relation to royalties, implying it’s a system for the wealthy. He also discusses Neil Young’s song “Heart of Gold” and compares his own potentially more impactful scientific papers, like the one mapping the atomic nucleus, which generated little personal profit. The author suggests musicians could retain rights to their songs and give them away for free to listeners, charging only for commercial use, a model he claims to follow for his own work, with the exception of resale or for-profit uses. He briefly mentions Barry Gibb as a more admirable figure who doesn’t promote controversial agendas, referencing songs like “How Deep is Your Love” and “Too Much Heaven.” He criticizes the current celebrity culture, which he sees as promoting individuals like Taylor Swift and Billy Eilish over those he considers more substantial, even questioning analysts like Rick Beato for promoting Taylor Swift as “real.” He links Joni Mitchell to a “big propaganda machine” and criticizes her for being “complicit with her cousins,” and for her past relationships with Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. The author brings up Noam Chomsky as another figure who has destroyed his legacy by “yapping to the end.” He connects the push for vaccines to a “medical genocide” and mentions Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci as figures who will be associated with this outcome. The author contrasts the emotional basis of music with the objective nature of scientific papers, using Einstein and Relativity as an example. The text then shifts to Tom Brady, criticizing his retirement news being widely reported on sites like Zerohedge and Gateway Pundit, and questioning his immense fame and wealth for playing football. He recalls being a fan of Cowboys and Roger Staubach in 1975, but claims to have outgrown such obsessions. The author describes the current era as a “75-year party or rave” that is ending, urging people to “take the party hat off” and “remove the whizzer from your mouth.” He warns of the “governors” killing people and planting bombs through vaccines, and suggests a revolution is underway that requires choosing a side. He advises turning off CNN and ESPN, and discarding the New York Times, suggesting that truth is found by “sifting the wind” and talking to a “trucker.” He mocks Tom Brady’s achievements as the GOAT, PATRIOT, and BUCCANEER, questioning his $30 million a year salary for playing a “stupid game.” He argues that celebrity culture has kept citizens inactive and distracted them from the erosion of the Constitution by the “corporatocracy” and “banks” who truly run the country. He critiques both Republican and Democratic parties, calling them RINOs and asserting that neither has protected republicanism, tracing this back to lincoln. He believes a coup has occurred, making the government obsolete. The author criticizes the truckers for protesting the wrong targets, like Justin Trudeau in Canada, who he calls a “puppet.” He discusses Tucker Carlson’s interview with a Canadian official, advising viewers to do the opposite of his advice. The author then speculates on the reasons for humanity’s perceived immaturity and inability to build a successful civilization, proposing that humans are “Peter Pans” and die before reaching their full mental development. He explores the idea that humans might be aliens from titan, who have had to adapt to Earth’s environment, explaining their lack of hardiness and need for water. He reflects on his own delayed maturation as he approaches 60, feeling his body is failing just as he is learning. He references Leonardo da Vinci’s quote about learning to die instead of live, suggesting that brilliant minds like Leonardo die too young. The author proposes that humans were meant to live to around 200 years, seeing the ai community’s dream of immortality as a mirage. He blames environmental factors like poisons in food, air, and water, GMOs, HFCS, soy, canola, wheat, corn, and WIFI, as well as increased stress levels and the destruction of heterosexual relationships, for hindering longevity. He believes civilization should be governed by those over 100, suggesting that current leaders are merely “children.” He uses the lifespan of housecats as an analogy, suggesting that if they can live to 200 in human years based on multipliers, humans should also be capable of much longer lives. He contrasts the healthy, stress-free lives of cats with the unhealthy habits of humans, such as drinking, smoking, drugs, divorce, grief, and constant worry. The author concludes with a personal anecdote about watching Anchorman and Anchorman 2, mentioning Paul Rudd photographing kittens.
