When “Good for You” is Too Good

Todd Hayen

The ultimate “good for you” is to be dead. At least that is what it would be if some outside authority, or entity, was watching our human behaviour and assessing what looks to be the “best” for us–meaning that if we are dead, nothing bad can happen to us. I would assume that if we fed all of the information a typical human life creates into a supercomputer, and then asked it “What is the best state of being for a human being” it would spit out, “that it never be born, and if alive, it would be safest, (best, good,) for it to be dead.”

The next notch down from this perfection would be to live in a bubble, literally. Apparently, there are some people who have no immune systems who have to do this (remember the Seinfeld episode, “The Bubble Boy”?)

The next notch down is to be a recluse, to live on some little patch of land, in a little house, and venture out only into your local neighbourhood to buy fish sticks, Twinkies, and RC Cola. You would never fly in a plane, and never drive as well.

The next notch down is the spot that most people seem to wish they occupied. This place in the sun is actually sunless. Or at least as sunless as you can make it. Here we find gobs of sunscreen, dark glasses on cloudy days, heavy coats in the fall, and umbrellas in summer. We find ourselves avoiding nearly everything that can be avoided, except the things, of course, that actually do harm us, like McDonalds’ “Big Macs” and a nice can of Diet Coke. Here we avoid travel to dicey countries (which includes nearly all of them), if we travel at all. We avoid being in the same room with someone who is coughing or sneezing or looking the least bit odd, and we essentially avoid taking any risks whatsoever. Nearly everything is dangerous, and it is best to avoid anything unknown, dubious in nature, or not recommended by the guys and gals in white coats with the antique medical device hanging around their neck.

A person at this level of existence is alive but certainly not living.

Why are people into this? Well, once again, we can thank Mr. Agenda. Before I was “awakened” I used to muse at this phenomenon and wonder how it could have happened naturally and organically. I thought about all the men clambering on board boats and planes to go to Europe to fight in the trenches in 1917, as well as in 1941. I thought of the scads of pioneers setting out on the perilous journey across the American continent during the decades after the Civil War. I thought of the untold numbers who left the comfort of their homes (which at the time probably wasn’t all that comfortable) to hazard the jungles of Central America to work on the malaria-infested Panama Canal, and the same untold numbers of brave men and women who set out on various journeys in dark and dangerous parts of the world to pursue fame and fortune, or to lend their humanitarian hand in helping others less fortunate.

Where are all of these people today? Sure, there are a few left, but nowhere as many as there used to be. Now most people are terrified to step out of their house, and if they are told by Big Brother to avoid coming close to other humans, or to wear a piece of paper or cloth over their quivering face, they do so frantically and obediently. Did this decline in chutzpah happen as a natural consequence of social evolution?

No. I don’t think so. Now I believe it is part of the plan—the agenda. Ol’ Dr. Paranoia’s mind at work again. Maybe so, but I suspect there are a lot of you out there in the same psych ward as me.

Not only have we been dumbed down, but our natural sense of “joie de vivre” has been all but entirely sucked out of our collective soul. I see this particularly in men, which needless to say have been a major focus of the agenda. But, of course, it is found in all of us, men and women alike.

We have become a nation (or nations) of wimps. When a Covid particle allegedly enters a room, we jump up on the nearest chair and shriek, much like the proverbial fragile women of the Victorian age presumably did when they saw a mouse (if they did this, it was probably all an act to help men feel more manly). Only difference is that you can see a mouse, but you must be told the Covid particle is in the air. And guess who told us? Yep, Mr. Agenda. We are wimps. Enough said. And the agenda wishes us to be wimps because fear is the devil’s greatest and most effective weapon.

Along with fear, there is the carrot—a reward for behaviour, or even an enticement to comply by convincing us whatever we are expected to comply with is good for us. And not only us, but for everyone! So, the vaccine is good for us because it keeps us from getting a deadly disease (or so we are told). Wearing masks is good for us, and keeping a “social distance” is good for us. All these things keep us safe, wearing latex gloves, sloshing poison disinfectant on our hands, and staying at home out of the swarm of Covid nasties flying about on the street. We must do what we can to live safe lives, safe from all the horrible things that nature wants to throw at us. Always remember, the agenda tells us, nature is our enemy.

And this is only part of it. We are now protected from everything because just about everything wants to take a chunk out of us. Not only that, but it isn’t even good for us to own things, because owning things is a pain, and makes our life difficult. It is much easier to just rent stuff. It is also good for us to be lazy and avoid doing anything at all. Why not play virtual games rather than travel, why not have that conference that took us to Las Vegas every year in our bedroom on Zoom? Why not have therapy virtually, or even visit our doctor through the computer or phone?

Why not get a salary paid by the government for doing nothing? How about getting an advanced academic degree without having to go to any classes? What about winning a gold medal in women’s swimming when you are a man and can beat all those little ladies’ times in your sleep? Sure, it is best for us not to drive too much or have to go out of town to meet friends or go to that cool restaurant that’s 20 miles away. It’s safer and better for us to work at home too. In fact, why not just stay at home and do everything there, and have every meal there, even if we want a nice evening without having to stay at home, which used to be a nice visit to a beautiful restaurant, with maybe some nice live music. Nope. Now it’s Uber Eats. That’s good too. It’s all good for us, safe, convenient, takes no effort or skill, and fun. We’re happy, right?

Anyone know where you can buy a nice, cheap, plastic bubble?

“The next notch down from this perfection would be to live in a bubble, literally.”

Obviously not. If the best for you is to be dead, the next best has been demonstrated in Ukraine and the US wonderfully: ready to die for no good reason at all, just because you get asked to die. Ready to go to Heaven at the first available opportunity, when you get asked. That is the tradition, and for sure the tradition ain’t changing. You yourself are recommending to follow the tradition, telling people not to be scared of contagious disease, because, because… yeah, the best for you is to go to Heaven as soon as you are asked. The authorities never stopped being evil, as the author of this article well demonstrates.

 It’s all good for us, safe, convenient, takes no effort or skill, and fun.  Here’s something else that fits that description – the betting economy. Speculators never really lose (quantitative easing rescues) so it’s good for THEM and they make stupid money just by betting on things like “natural disasters”, etc. And they definitely live in a bubble. “China has kept money creation in the hands of the government itself so that when the government creates money it can finance the creation of factory plants and equipment, dams, transportation infrastructure, public housing.” “So the chief public utility to be kept in the public domain, (China realizes and has realized from the beginning) is the banking system and credit creation, even so there’s still private credit creation to some extent.”  “You have to prevent people from getting rich not by providing any productive service at all but just by being good… Read more »

(continued) You also might consider reading David Icke’s last two books, The Dream and The Trap. The first half of The Dream is essentially an autobiography, and one might skip or skim it if so inclined. In the second half he lays out his theory of our simulation matrix in detail. The Trap builds the case that reincarnation is just a method for the insane force to continue to milk us of our energy. It cannot absorb energy automatically from the universe as almost all conscious beings can outside of the matrix, because it operates on such a low and perverse energy level. In order to survive, it must use humanity as an energy transformer to reduce its emotional energy output to a low enough level so that it can be utilized. In a way this is similar to most plants that have two variants of chlorophyll in their leaves, A and B, which can… Read more »

You are just enjoying yourself. We the thinking people are wasting our time in negative with this kind of bs.

So your fantasy is a flat earth with two hairy balls, the Atlantic and the Pacific Seas, hanging down under. You see our planet as an ugly feature.

Its because we know the planet is a ball. It can be measured, seen, and rationalised.
So why should we waste our time on an ugly believe fantasy then, when we know the reality is a beauty?

Everything in heaven our universe and on earth is build up and bows and bends after the Golden Ratio. The straight line dont exist in our organic world. We only use the straight as an office language to understand, get hold on and to measure down to the organic moving bending earth. When you can see this Golden Ratio bending and bowing just when you look up in heaven, and you can see this just when you look at some flower, or tree, or landscape, or baby or yourself, then the flat pancake earth theory is absurd.

Some cosmologists have speculated that everything here – the planet, our bodies, etc. – is a simulation. They say this is projected onto a screen having the same diameter as the expanding universe, but I have no idea what that means.

Interesting post. We can’t really know the shape of the earth, however we can say what it is not. The real evidence points towards it NOT being a spinning ball hurtling through space. How can flying creatures and machines be both tethered to the earth’s atmosphere (birds and beeds travelling with earth’s rotation), and free of it (birds and bees free to move in any direction)? That makes zero sense and no scientist can explain it. People who believe it is are too proud to admit they have been conned by the authors of the matrix. No one would think the earth is a spinning ball had it not been drilled into our heads from birth. Indeed no one did until the last couple hundred years. Ultimately people will choose to side with the majority than side with the truth. As long as they avoid ridicule, being singled out and… Read more »

Anyway, he did champion this in his work/social group, good for them all. Some of his stories were scary-daft though: 30+ year old adults terrified of walking on steep slopes, crags and hill tops . . reduced to crawling (dozens of them!!!). i found this incomprehensible…

“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”

Agatha Christie

Most people seem to be protecting themselves not from suffering, which is unavoidable, but from discomfort. They are never too hot, too cold, too hungry.
They are can’t sit in silence or go out and risk being socially awkward because all of that feels uncomfortable–and that’s scary.

Throw in some frozen french fries and canned green beans and you have a day in the life of a 9 member family living in a tiny one bathroom, three bedroom house where dad was never home because he was always working. Mom worked too. Plenty of unsupervised time to beat on each other. We could not wait to get out of the house.

It won’t take long for those living on UBI in 15 minute city high rise cubicles to realize that they need to “bust out”. Once they start “beating” on each other, they will be clamoring to move away from the “the city”. Funny how history repeats itself.

Of course, their monthly UBI deposit will be delayed until their digital vaccine passport is fulfilled. Otherwise, no more Twinkies. We killed for Twinkies.

I think there’s been a bit of a wobble.

The parasite’s Ponzi scheme depended on new customers to expand the profits so it made sense to mollycoddle us so we could continue the revenue stream.

Then, someone had the bright idea that AI would be a lot cheaper than real people so maybe they could dispose of a large number of us à la Billyboy.

Perhaps they’ve realised that AI isn’t going to cut it and the real people were needed after all.

Maybe that’s why NHS in UK for example have gone VERY quiet on the jabs and there’s a huge campaign at the minute for getting your bits checked out at every opportunity.

Excerpts from a BBC article on Life Expectancy vs Lifespan: While medical advancements have improved many aspects of healthcare, the assumption that human life span has increased dramatically over centuries or millennia is misleading. Overall life expectancy, which is the statistic reflected in reports like those above, hasn’t increased so much because we’re living far longer than we used to as a species. It’s increased because more of us, as individuals, are making it that far. “There is a basic distinction between life expectancy and life span,” says Stanford University historian Walter Scheidel, a leading scholar of ancient Roman demography. “The life span of humans – opposed to life expectancy, which is a statistical construct – hasn’t really changed much at all, as far as I can tell.” Life expectancy is an average. If you have two children, and one dies before their first birthday but the other lives to the age of 70, their average life… Read more »

To know. Its the only requirement.
No one requires people to walk around with a poster, neither to revolt, makes riots, or sign protest papers, or coughing up everything on Television or Internet.
Only to know so other people can clearly hear in private here is a man or a woman who knows who he/she is, what he/she is doing and the state of affairs around him/her in the real world. Simple.

Its the lack of knowledge, lack of moral compass, and cowardice to know which cause trouble.
The more people know the less power will be recognized and obeyed. https://youtu.be/zYEsFQ_gt7c

The Federal Returning Officer responsible has therefore still not signed off on the validity of the 2021 Bundestag election. So we have had an illegal Bundestag for over two years and therefore also an illegal federal government. A scandal that is still being hushed up by the system media.

The idea of non-existence as preferable to existence seems to be self-deceptive to me. The remarkable horror writer Thomas Ligotti wrote a book called The Conspiracy Against the Human Race in which he puts forward that very idea. But he reveals himself in a little aside about “lazing in non-existence”. The word “lazing” shows that he isn’t thinking about non-existence but only about a certain type of existence – and an enviable one. Who doesn’t want to laze? The word suggests plumped up cushions, sofas, a loose dressing gown. And that suggests that what Ligotti has against existence isn’t existence itself but another particular type of existence – one that involves difficulty, strenuousness etc. And so what seems radical about Ligotti’s position is revealed as banality: he wants an easy existence in preference to a hard one. Because it is my contention that no-one can really imagine non-existence. Oh yes,… Read more »

A dead body, or bodies, is not death because death is the most subjective, unreportable and unexplainable experience any human can have.

Where were we before our birth?
Did our awareness simply pop into existence?

It is the same state of being we have when our bodies are dead.
Pure, unadulterated awareness.

You can experience it while living.
A state of thoughtlessness:

Most religious people are certain about non-existence. Some of them say it awaits us, perhaps after a long delay, and others that there is no such thing.

Ligotti sounds like a Gnostic – they want the spirit freed from what they see as the tyranny of the material world.

The actual nature of ‘death’ is so very, very different to what it merely seems to be, when interpreted on its immensely illusory face-value mere appearance. We truly DO all survive (in our eternal, immortal soul/spirit body form) the death of our physical body ‘coat’. I’ve summarised this in fact proven truth a number of times, here on Off-G. I’m very proud to be one of the countless millions of properly informed Spiritualists around the world (and let me reiterate that I’m NOT using the word ‘proven’ either loosely or wrongly. We Spiritualists truly are able to prove what we say: that literally everyone (including animals, birds, etc) survives the death of their physical body. We live in a multi-dimensional cosmos. After the illusory event that’s wrongly termed ‘death’, we return (in our spirit body – which is the thing which literally animates our physical body whilst we’re here on… Read more »

I have an open mind on the subject but sometimes I wonder if a continued existence after death might be the scarier option!

Of course a continued existence after (the illusory event that’s wrongly termed) ‘death’ is not ‘the scarier option’!!

We are, each and every one of us, an eternal soul (ie, a spirit being) that lives many, many lifetimes. Ie, reincarnation is also one of the many known spiritual truths of existence. There exists a multitude of evidences for this too.

Before the current germophobia, it was worse.
Boomers like you promoted the Vietnam war and the cold war because you were afraid of the world outside of your bubble.

America had to defend itself against the Commies who lied under our beds.
Otherwise all Americans would had been sitting in Gulag camps today with Mao’s the Little Red Book in their hands.
We were defending our freedom. We were born to be wild. https://ok.ru/video/1045698120245

“Psycho Babble #27” Rocky Mountains Roller Derby, she paints her face as “the Joker” , I however am a massive fan of her sister “#23 Deranged”

Excellent article!
