Tomorrow I’m more than likely going to find myself in a cage facing decades in prison. So I hope you’ll forgive me if I’m a little worn out, and too emotional to do a live show. This saddens me more than anything because I really want to take your calls, but it’s just not possible.

Presuming I make bail, I hope I’ll be able to continue doing the show. I suspect they might make my silence a condition of my bail, and though I would prefer to resist such an order, I would be similarly silenced by staying in jail.
I should be able to beat these charges. I have done nothing wrong. Sadly, I have no confidence that my innocence alone will result in a not guilty verdict. More sadly, I have no confidence in the desire or ability of the authorities to protect me, and millions of people want to kill me. So as I wipe the tears from my eyes, I must tell you that it is entirely possible that this will be the last time you hear from me.

That is certainly not my preference, but I am comfortable with this outcome. When I became radicalized 8 years ago, I had already decided I was willing to lay down my life for a cause. I’ve found myself in the middle of several causes since then, and I’m very glad I never had to die for any of them, because this is the most worthy one I’ve been in proximity to. I consider this sacrifice my highest honor to date.
It has been an extraordinary privilege to serve alongside all of you.

I have authorized Augustus Invictus to act on my behalf in terms of fundraisers for my defense. I have intentionally not started one yet, because I am confident that whatever the prosecutor thinks I have raised, they will request double that for my bail. Expect every dirty trick in the book (and a few new ones) to be thrown at me and all who stand beside me.

What you’re about to listen to is going to make you angry, but I want to make it very clear that I encourage calm amongst our people. My case will not be helped by escalation of this conflict, but that is not important. What is important is the longevity of our movement. This conflict is far from over, and we cannot afford further casualties. If you act violently, you do a disservice to me, to our race, and to our nation. If you must defend yourselves, use the least amount of force possible, and record everything. If they make a martyr out of me, you’ll know that there are no more arguments to be made.
In the meantime, your job is to be fruitful and multiply. If you don’t have a girlfriend, hit the gym, and get one. If you have a girlfriend, marry her and knock her up without undue delay. Be industrious. Our enemies shutting us out of their economy presents us with a magnificent opportunity for profit. If you’re a young guy in school, learn a programming language. Build market alternatives to the kikery that currently plagues our media and financial systems.
For the fake news kike cocksuckers who are tuning in for the first time, the clip of me talking before the music is an old clip originally titled “Begging for a leftist revolution”. I recorded this during an episode of the Radical Agenda which aired shortly after the 2016 election. Prophetic, ain’t it? I remind you that I’m discussing defensive force, as always. So when you take it out of context to make me a monster, I hope you remind yourself that you’re a lying piece of filth who deserves to die when you go to bed at night. If you doubt my sincerity, listen to episode 318.

The Battle of Charlottesville song is by one Paddy Tarleton. He is a very talented musician who just lost his job because our enemies hate his art. He’s about to marry a very wonderful woman, and he could probably use our help.
After that and the introduction, I lay out some of the more recent details of my precarious situation. Then I read a few of the recent blog posts I made here. After that there are a series of recorded phone calls I had with various media outlets including Vice News, the Keene Sentinel, NHPR, the Huffington Post, the New Hampshire Union Leader, the Associated Press, Digg, NBC, the New York Times, and News2Share, in that order.

I was first able to imagine the hypercube back in the 1990s when I studied that little book Flatland for hours and hours. Your brain can do it just fine, but you have to stop thinking in three dimensions. When you come to realize that, in your mind, there is a three dimensional space in which you imagine things, then you can start replacing that field in which your imaginings take shape with a field of four dimensions.

I think the Flatland method (and this video in a similar fashion) is a bit difficult because it tries to get you there in progressions from the lower dimensions up, whereas I made better progress in the other direction. I cannot stress enough the importance of realizing that it's not just the little visualizations you imagine in your mind. There really is a kind of space in which your imaginings take place and you have to transform that space too. Your brain can in fact compute this. I don't know how accurate the 4D imaginings are, though. They are not super clear and are kind of difficult to relate to experientially. I guess the impression I get from them is a kind of infinite duplication in which there is a spectrum of cubes creating surfaces around a space that is hard to wrap your mind around. Those weird eastern images of the Buddha with lots of repeated heads one above the other come to mind.

I will say that you could probably create a 3D projection of it in the form of a 3D model in real space. You can sort of pin it down in that way. But there is nothing like that space in the real world, so it's not all that useful I'd imagine. It's just a fun mind game.

I guess, in hindsight, one way I could describe it is if you imagine eight different three dimensional spaces. At first, imagine they are like eight separate little geometric universes where you place a cube in each. A hypercube is just eight cubes connected to adjacent cubes along a 2D surface in a similar fashion that a cube is merely six squares connected along 1D edges.

Now remember that you divide those cubes into pairs representing opposing sides of the hypercube in the same way the six squares of a cube are divided into pairs of opposing sides. To do that, just start with two cubes in their two little universes. In your mind, try to keep just two three dimensional spaces imagined simultaneously where each contains only one cube. Now imagine you are sort of adjust these spaces so that the cubes line up along a line with respect to your mind's eye. Just work on that for a while and, when you can do it, add in another pair in another perpendicular direction. Eventually you realize there are two of those now. But for now, just try to keep increasing those separate visual fields in your working memory at the same time and really imagine you can kind of move them around to align the squares.

When you can do that, realize that your ability to move these things around like that such that you can align them is not so much that you can move the entire spaces around, but that there is a much larger encompassing space that connects them from all directions. If you did this for a while, you will realize that you have been slowly developing a visual field of that space the whole time you were playing games with lining up the cubes which are in separate three dimensional spaces.

The surfaces of the cubes will touch surfaces of adjacent cubes through that other direction.

But, again, this game serves absolutely no purpose in the real world. It's just a cool cognitive game that helps you understand how your mind can formulate these deep modes of visualization when you learn new things. Most people develop the three dimensional field when they are babies. We develop a two dimensional field as well, and we often switch seamlessly between those two modes of reasoning. There is also a verbal/linguistic field and a mathematical fields. Those are the ones I have identified most. The trick to this stuff is to realize that your brain has to invent a new mode of visualization these things.

I suspect most people are just trying to construct something like a hypercube step-by-step in an imagined three-dimensional space, which doesn't work. Start by duplicating that three dimensional space your brain already uses all the time into eight separate spaces.

This is another way to help visualize higher dimensions. It helped me get through Alan Moore's book Jerusalem,which I highly recommend.

My brain...

Simplest one I've seen:

[SuburbanFarmer]

One of the better podcasts I've ever heard. Gladwell breaking down the fundamental difference between classic country, and all other forms of music.

Also, an interview with country's best songwriter, and an excellent view of the Left v Right divide.

Great episode about classic animal-fat french fries from McDonald's. And why you can't get them anymore.
