The cloud office.



This is the Institute of Directors- a sort of right wing think tank and snobby Pall Mall club. I attended an interview here with a one man outfit who was running his business from the club coffee lounge. It is quite possible to do this and it seems a good deal until one remembers that Starbucks is also free.









Behold the sharktank.



Why do we need static offices at all? One man can blog to ten thousand or a million from a cafe or a moving train. Why not dispose of fixed locations completely except for the rare occasions one needs to impress the suits? For these occasions we have the IoD where one may hobnob with millionaire bankers and Russian Mafia crooks as they wipe blood from their hands with table napkins.

This is a strange world where bankrupts drive  Ferraris and millionaires wear frayed jeans. Arab princes and African despots drink Earl Grey tea and discuss cricket. Shoes are always black and shiny and patrons are politely requested to keep their firearms at home..

Billion dollar divorcee goes bakrupt. 'I spent too much'.

'I spent too much'.

Twitter, twittering and twits.

Until this point Twitter has always seemed to be a losing game for anyone with something intelligent to say. Twitter even takes the banes of modern life (multitasking and the short attention span) and builds it into the system. Tweets are very short- only a sentence or two which means that it is only possible to make assertions- never reasoned arguments. This results in a superficial communication that does indeed resemble the twittering of birds.

Feminism is well suited to this sort of communication because it is not based upon reasoned argument. It is far easier to say 'all men are bastards' than it is to refute it. This is because 'all men are bastards' is a better soundbite and it requires no thought to grasp it. Feminism is also the established ideology- which makes it easy to speak in soundbite and be understood. The reader is not being told anything they have not been told a thousand times before.

I began to understand that Twitter does have a purpose when the super injunction issue broke in the UK. A number of celebrities have been slapping 'super injunctions' on the media to prevent stories of their sexual adventures reaching the public. These are stories the British media love most (sex and celebrity equals newspaper sales) and in each case the celebrity was able to persuade the judge that there was no legitimate public interest in the case. In one case a kiss and tell girl seemed to be blackmailing a celebrity by telling him that she would 'have to' sell her story to the media unless he paid her not to.

In each case I think the judge did the right thing.

My issue with super injunctions is that they cover their tracks. Nobody can report the existence of a super injunction and so we have no idea how they are being used. In France this sort of thing is often used to cover up corruption.

Fortunately the story spread like wildfire through twitter. A ridiculous pantomime took place as the media commented upon the fact that the story was on twitter- while not mentioning what the story actually was. Eventually the storm broke when an MP mentioned the affair in Parliament which placed the whole thing in the public domain.

It seems from this that twitter enjoys a semi privileged legal status. The authorities will not track down twitters but will prosecute the mainstream media for telling the same story. This means that there is more free speech on twitter than eleswhere- even on blogs like this one.

The case for a University for Men.

There are fewer male graduates than female ones in most developed nations (the usual split is 40/60). If this were any group other than men something would have been done about this years ago.

One option would be to get feminists out of teaching. This is not going to happen any time soon. We have to look at the second option- a university exclusively for men.

This would have to be situated in a large city such as London where a number of universities already exist- and it would have to be in addition to existing universities as it would be politically impossible to change a mixed facility into a male only institution.

If we are to believe the feminists the University for Men would actually benefit women because men do nothing in university other than harass women.

As part of this settlement women would be allowed to create a University of Women if they wished. This would would tend to attract the radical feminists and thus remove them from mixed institutions- improving the atmosphere in these places no end.

Slut walk psychology

Most of us instinctively know there is something very wrong with the slut walks but it is difficult to know immediately what it is. This is because the claimed object of the march is completely reasonable. Of course women have the right to dress sexy without being raped- and this is disputed by.... who exactly?

The supposed point of the march is completely pointless because nobody is actually in favour of rape. You may as well organise a protest against gravity.

The thing that I object to is that the slut walkers are not being honest about their motives- even with themselves. They are actually demanding the right to project their emotional needs on to men and then blame us for them.

Women need to feel desired. We know this because they spend so much of their time and money on making themselves beautiful- but what does a woman do if she is NOT beautiful? Generally she convinces herself that every man is crazy for her.

When a man looks her way- he is leering at her.

When he is friendly- he is sexually harassing her.

When he walks behind her- he is following her.

What better way to maintain this self delusion than to convince yourself that every man is a rapist?

THIS is what the slut walks are about. They are demanding the right to maintain their self image by telling lies about innocent men.

Put your paperwork on the Cloud.

How many bits of paper we own- and how they oppress us!

The first thing I will get rid of are my warranty and sales receipts. When you think about it most of these are quite useless. If an item breaks down is is likely that it will take longer to find a certificate than to fix it. If the item is stolen or lost in a house fire it is likely that the receipts will have been lost as well.

The answer is to ensure that this information is held in multiple locations on the web. Register the item on Immobilise. This not only records the registration and warranty details but passes these on to your insurance company and the police if the items are stolen. Mark your belongings invisibly with an ultra violent pen and mention this on your Immobilise entry. This will secure a conviction if the thief is ever caught.

Secondly, make sure that your purchases are registered with the retailer who sold them to you. This generally occurs automatically if you registered with the website you ordered them from. If you did not do this then you can usually do so retrospectively.

Thirdly, copy all warranty information on to Yahoo Notes or some similar online service. There is little point storing it on your hard disk as computers are often stolen. You may also wish to copy your most vital data on to a memory stick and keep it with your house keys.

Some people like to retain the original documents. This is fine but you no longer have to worry about them because the information is secure.

The essence of the Cloud.

The essence of cloud living is that one owns everything while owning nothing. In this way we may be surrounded by beauty and comfort while never being responsible for its upkeep. This may be done as long as one does not desire exclusive ownership.

Cloud living is the only way to live in an expensive city on a small wage. The backdrop to my life is like that of a movie set and yet my disposable income is almost nothing.

Ownership is always more expensive than we think it is. A car requires more than petrol to keep it running. There are a hundred expensies from tires to depreciation. Furthermore, cars and houses require attention. They never leave us alone and it is nearly always cheaper to rent.

Poverty is power. I will never be sued by a geedy lawyer because I own nothing a lawyer would wish to steal. This is also why I tell woman that I am poor.

By means of Game we may avoid 'owning' women through marrage. This offers the same advantages that other forms of non ownership offer. We do not need to support these women financially and we avoid legal entanglements with them.

I make it my rule to dispose of two items for every one that I buy. This is surprisngly difficult but nobody said freedom would be easy. The biggest enemies we face live within us.

Project Dirt

I Joined Project Dirt at the London Green Fair by placing my name on the pictured map.

What is Project Dirt? I am rather excited about it. It is a social network for green folk- a sort of facebook for the environmentally sound but it is also much more than this.

Project Dirt consists mainly of people who are DOING THINGS to improve the world rather than complaining about it. Very often this involves growing vegetables or home insulation- practical self help activities rather than state dependency.

There is also an interesting overlap between MGTOW and project dirt. It is anti materialist and takes a bottom up rather than a state led approach. Project dirt can even be seen as an extended survivalist network with an emphasis on self sufficiency. They could become political allies.

Here is my profile. Anyone may join.

Living on a Cloud.

Most technology is only useful once the user adopts new habits. It is no good trying to live the old way and expecting new technology to improve things.

When I first heard about email and the Internet I really did not get it at all. Why bother with computers, telephone wires and all that hassle when one could simply pick up the phone and talk to the person directly?

The point is that electronic communication has changed ways in which we communicate and thus changed the culture. Once this is grasped then it is easy to understand the revolutionary potential of the medium. The same is true of 'cloud' computing. This seems at first to be the slightly pointless innovation of moving all ones files on to remote servers for the entertainment of hackers. In fact it is a road to freedom.

I first began to realise this while experimenting with the newly updated calender features of Yahoo Mail. This first appeared an overcomplicated alternative to the pocket diary. Why spend hours typing data into an electronic diary when it is easier to access a filofax? The penny dropped when I realised that it was possible to automate the system so that amazon deliveries or meetup socials appear automatically without my doing anything at all. In other words the diary acts as my own PA and suggests the most efficient course of action.

In order to make this work you will need to classify information into three categories. Social, Action, and Reference.

Social information is stuff that you want the world to know. I have placed this on the 43 things social network so that other people doing the same things in life can work with me. This network interfaces with Blogger very nicely.

Action these are practical tasks that need to be completed- often by set dates. These tasks become appointments on my diary and are eventually ticked off as being completed.

Reference. This is a third class of information that is kept on the Yahoo 'Notepad'. This consists of such things as insurance registration numbers and so forth. This means that I can obtain anything that is truly important in my life at a moments notice from anywhere in the world. This will always remain password protected, naturally.

It is possible to take the Cloud philosophy much further and gradually divest oneself of belongings. It is possible to hire almost all the necessities of life (accommodation, eating out in cheap restaurants and so on) with no future commitments. In this way it is possible to remain fully mobile and free. This even frees us from government control to a degree. How so? Socialism relies upon people being tied to a particular location. This need not be by barbed wire and machine guns. Western socialism relies relies upon inertia but the result is the same. The more an individual is committed to a particular location the more he may be taxed and regulated. A fully mobile individual will be one who can avoid socialism quite easily. What is it that ties an individual to a place? Obligations and possessions. Cloud living tells us how to avoid these things and thus remain free.

If gold is so great.. why are we not using it?

Inflation is officially running at 5.22% in the UK. If you are on a low income it is running even faster because food and energy are increasing at about 18%.

The only thing increasing faster is gold- so why are we not using it as a currency? If we were we would find life gets cheaper every year rather than more expensive. This is not a political decision. We can do this amongst ourselves if we choose without asking anyone.

How would this work? A group of friends or business associates would simply agree to use gold coins in place of cash. They would physically exchange the coins and this would remove all worries about credit or bouncing cheques. Obtaining a credit reference would be as easy as asking to see the contents of a persons pockets.

So why is this not happening? I think it is a case of bad money driving out good. Gold bugs simply love their gold too much to spend it and everyone else cannot understand it. Maybe this will change one day.

Branding demographics.

When creating a brand for yourself it is important to know what you are saying and why. You may simply 'buy in' a great many associations simply by connecting with other brands.

These are some of the most useful.

Project RED. Project RED is an AIDS charity that is fronted by Bono of U2. HIV is a cause that is popular among young trendy men. It has artistic and liberal associations and generally appeals to graduates. Project RED quite wisely decided to market itself as a designer brand in exactly the same way as any other designer label. Celebrities, manufacturers and consumers all flock to the brand for their own reasons. Rock stars are happy to lend their name to the brand free of charge for the ironic reason that they wish to be associated with high risk activities such as drug taking and multiple seual partners.. Companies such as Apple and Starbucks want to be associated with glamor as well as charity and will pay for the privilidge. This means that the consuer can make a charitable donation free of charge simply buy buying a branded product.

The RED brand makes one appear younger than one is which is useful for employment and gaming younger women.

The most cost effective ways of associating with the brand are to buy a RED product that is used every day. These never cost more than the non red alternative (I think RED insists on this). Interesting possibilities include the RED Starbucks card and RED headphones for your iPod.

The Fairtrade Foundation. This brand is supported by middle class white women. The deal is that the customer pays more for the product and some of this premium goes to the farmer. This will not improve you job prospects very much and has the disadvantage that fairtrade products are consumed and therefore must be replaced. It may marginally improve your chances of getting lucky with a middle class 'nice girl' if you get her back to your place but on the whole fairtrade is not cost effective either for yourself or the farmer. If you want to help the third world- give to a charity and tell no one about it.

There are many claims made for organic food. Most are absurd but organic eggs and milk have some health benefits. Most middle class people think that anything organic is a good thing and so it is useful to be aware to the issue. The same is true of biodegradable detergent. In reality all detergent is biodegradable. The only difference is the speed at which this occurs.

The use of unbleached cotton may actually do some good in the world but it is a weak brand among all but the most ardent tree hugger. Cotton is naturally off white in colour. It can only be made brilliant white thought he use of powerful bleaches that are hugely destructive to health and environment.

Other positive brands include Buddhism which has become a SWPL religion. There are also useful social stereotypes such as the English Gentleman. It is also helpful to be an Irish man, an English man, or a Brazilian woman. You do not need to be English to be an English Gentleman and you will meet people claiming to be English, Irish, Italian or Brazilian anywhere in the world.

ACTION.
1) Decide which (if any) of these brands you wish to be associated with.
2) Set yourself a budget. I would advise no more than £100 a year for this sort of thing.
3) Ensure your personal brand reflects your true self. It should give pleasure.
4) Search for useful products using the search box below.

National Gallery Lates.

I am off to the National Gallery Late. This is a free event put on by the National Gallery in London. I rather like this gallery because it has (on the whole) taken a stand against the sordid ugliness that calls itself art in so many other galleries.

This effort is one of the exceptions (fortunately now gone). It is supposed to be a recreation of the red light district in Amsterdam. Look closely and you will see that the women have been dehumanised and are covered with semen that degrades them and turns them into objects to be pitied. The purpose of the artwork is probably to protest against patriarchy and yet it objectifies women more than any man.

Contrast this with a painting by Pordenone (probably) painted around 1515 and found in the same gallery doing the same job. Notice that this woman retains her humanity. She appears to be bored and frustrated with her limited life and yet remains a full human being unlike the semen splattered sex dolls from the feminists.

OK. Art lesson over. I hope to meet some hot art chicks at the event tonight and I will let you know how it goes.

I start my new job- and a very nice job it is too.

Last Saturday I came to the end of my inhuman shift- an entire month of twelve hour shifts- and took a day off. Not only this- It was my first day of deliberately seeking wealthy women. I woke early with the sun streaming through my open window. I knew already it was going to be a wonderful day.

How to dress? I considered briefly dressing up for the day- and then decided to dress down instead. Dress rich and you get a gold digger. Dress poor and get...? Well. Today I would find out.

Colour coordination is very important to women. I would dress as cheaply as possible but I would be colour coordinated. This meant brown Doc Martins (scuffed), black Primark jeans (£6), brown belt- too large for my present size. This dangled down in front of my jeans suggestively. Women pull off a similar trick by 'distressing' their jeans around the groin and buttocks. As a general rule everything women do to attract men works well in reverse. I then finished with a £30 leather jacket. This outfit was designed for one purpose- to filter out every women who did not have money for the two of us.


The secret to meeting the right woman is to go to the right place. I was headed to a meetup group that was popular with single and divorced upmarket women (investment bankers, scientists and the more expensive kinds of lawyers). It is quite surprising how many lonely women exist in these groups. The basic problem is that they are more alpha than any of the men they meet. Many men make the mistake of thinking they have to impress them (this is tedious try hard behaviour) when all that is needed is to let the women be women. Many successful women are willing- even eager- to become temporarily submissive when they feel it is safe to do so.

Once you understand this you will also realise that the most Alpha thing any man can say is that he has a crap job- and then just stand there without apology. This reassures the Alpha female on many levels. First of all she knows you are a MAN. In other words you do not measure your worth in others opinions. Second- you are not interested in competing with her. Many men will get into tedious point scoring debates with such women to prove that he can be right about something. This is something men enjoy but it can come across as insecure bullying to women.  Women often say that they feel they have to nurse the insecurities of men. This comes close to fembot shaming language but I am sure that many women genuinely feel this- justified or not. When she feels safe she is set free. She relaxes and becomes kittenish, funny, playful and very easy to love.

I am sure you are interested in the mechanics of this game so I will tell you how it played out on Saturday.

The meetup took the form of a guided walk between three palaces and across three parks. We met in front of Charing Cross Station. The best time to establish oneself as the Alpha in any group is while the group is forming and the best way to do this is to make sure that everyone is having a good time. I talked to each new arrival and introduced them to one another. In particular I introduced the four most attractive women to one another. This stabilised the group and made it more difficult for any other Alpha to take them away from me. I also introduced a lanky beta kind of guy to all of the women to even things up a little. (I am an old man and I can only manage two women in a single sitting). It is common within the community to bully Beta guys in order to eliminate them as a threat. I am too much of an MRA to do this and looking after Betas is actually very Alpha behaviour. In a wolf pack the Alpha eats first- but everyone gets to eat.

The organizer then announced that there would be a quiz and suddenly something very strange happened. A woman in a pinstriped jacket (Pinstripe Girl) pushed her way through the crowd and said 'I want to be in this group because you are very clever'. I took her to be a banker of some kind and and very much my type- so of course she was in. She then insisted that I be team captain and everyone agreed.

I now had five attractive women in my group as well as being undisputed alpha within it. I turned to the rather Beta tall guy and said to him 'This is very good. Five beautiful women. I will have three and you can have the other two.' Everyone laughed including the tall Beta.

This had a number of effects. It was a compliment, of course, but it established my own frame- which is that I would take first pickings and in return for this I would help the other guy get his. This automatically meant that any woman I wanted must be the most attractive in the group.

This may seem cruel to the Beta guy but I am pretty sure he would have remained on the outside of the group hovering around and feeling awkward if I had not invited him in. The basic deal (take anyone I do not want) was a good one- and far more than he normally gets.

Everything is in the frame. In the first few minutes I had established three things.

1) We were going to have a relaxing, fun day. Everyone was going to be included.
2) I was the leader of this group.
3) I would claim the most attractive woman (or women) for myself. If I did not ask for the date- she was not attractive! (You see the double bind here?)

Once the frame has been set, success was almost inevitable.

I spent some time talking to Pinstripe Girl- which was very educational. She was intelligent, well spoken and very friendly but I found it initially hard to desire her even though she was physically attractive. I realise this was because she was something of a female 'nice guy'. In other words she was a little too keen to agree with my own opinions (of which I have many). I now understand how the 'nice guy' syndrome works and why women call these decent men boring.

The fact is that Pinstripe Girl was NOT boring (and neither are most Nice Guys). She began to give me serious I.O.I which I teasingly evaded and then broke off to talk to other women.

Next came GoldTooth Catgirl. G.T.C was a fascinating oddball- and I mean this kindly because I am an oddball myself. She was wearing a fake leopard coat with extravagant eyeliner and a gold tooth. She looked a little like a comic book character. We talked a little about the constitution but I was applying ruthless income criteria so I zeroed in on History Girl, a very attractive black woman. She made a joke about New Age people and so I told her about the New Age hippy habits of Adolph Hitler. This ended with me stroking her earlobe and asking her to visualise her clitoris (Hitler believed that both things were significant). History Girl LOVED this but I saw her later on looking a little worried. Women tend to interpret things too much- she probably thinks was a NAZI checking her out for Jewish blood.

It was a little bit crass of me to be honest.

What was the outcome? I had to disappear early because I was so poor I could not even buy a pint of beer down the pub but I later received texts from Pinstripe Girl and another woman I barely talked to. Both want to meet up later. Unfortunately I cannot do so until I am paid on the 17th so I will politely put them off until then.

All in all it was a good day. I was so relaxed from the sun, the fresh air and the walking that I fell asleep on the train home.

The main surprise was how easy it all was.
