Title: "My Antinatalism"
Date: September 07 2011
Description: x
Transcript: Adam Lanza: "I didn't understand this when I was younger, but I've always had an immense hatred for culture. I consider culture to be delusional values which humans mindlessly coerce onto eachother, spreading it no differently than any other disease. I previously sought to eliminate my cultural values to the greatest extent that I could. Through this I expected to gradually discover values of an inner-self which could be reconciled with this society, so that I could engage in activities and pursue goals which would lead to happiness." "Eventually I got to a point where I had sufficiently freed myself from what I called 'cultural values' when I analyzed all of the things which brought me happiness and all the goals which I wanted to pursue, I realized that absolutely everything about those things that appealed to me was entirely a consequence of my cultural infection. Formerly, I had rejected some aspects of culture while accepting other ones, and merely not calling them cultural as if those values were somehow transcendent and fine. It was at that point that I realized that there is no such thing as an inner self. Any sense of self is a delusional cultural construct. I realized that cultural infections were the sole source of any possible value beyond base values. For a while, I believed that happiness could be attained if culture could theoretically be eradicated and anarcho[sic]-anarcho primitivism were to take hold. Replace all instances of technology with culture in the analytic sections of "Industrial Society and Its Future" (Ted Kaczynski, 1995) and you basically have my mentality at the time regarding the pernicious effects of culture." "The problem was that I'd not been addressing what happiness is. Happiness is merely the fulfilment of value, I recognized that if cultural values were eliminated, the happiness which results from their fulfilment would not be needed because happiness becomes an unnecessary and incoherent concept when it is removed from its' concep[sic]-context. A common theme in my quasi-Anarcho Primitivist thought at the time is that non-base values exist only as a consequence of cultural infections, and impede on the happiness which results from the fulfilment of feral values. As if [?] my feral self is - in short metaphysically the real me, whose soul had been devoured by the culturally constructed imposter of the self. But my feral self was also an imposter. Just as I realized that I could eliminate non-base values and have no need for the happiness which resulted from their fulfilment, I could eliminate base-values and have no need for the happiness which resulted from their fulfilment." "It was not only the disease of culture that had been plagueing me all- all along, it was the disease of life itself. I was not and I am not in some existential crisis, I've never had the slightest problem with the obvious nonexistence of free will, objective purposes, and all of that. I have always been entirely psychologically capable of accepting my own subjective values and goals, even though I know they are consummately inconsequential, and it doesn't bother me at all." "The problem is not that I seek meaning and cannot find it. The problem is that I do feel immense meaning, and so does everyone else who is alive. Meaning is an abstract interpretation of value which exists only because of life. Just as I sought to eradicate the delusional values which culture infected me with, the final solution is the termination of my life, to rid myself of all value. The solution cannot be to embrace some aspect of life, as if the erosion of delusions is the cause of this. Life is what urgently caused me to have value, and changing my life will never do anything but create different delusions than the ones I already have. Unfortunately as of right now I lack the discipline to pursue my death and to rid myself of the values which delude me, even though I recognize [that] the solution to life is death. But I do commend others who do commit suicide. They have freed themselves from culture, life and all value. They have freed themselves from themselves." [video ends]

Title: "Rambling vlogrant of a ruminative vagrant (Part 1/2)"
Date: September 07 2011

Transcript: Adam Lanza: "I suppose I should add a video to my channel where I'm not reading something which I wrote before the video, and instead just ramble about...basically whatever comes to mind, so that I seem like less of a robot. And I...I haven't slept very recently, so I'm probably going to ramble incoherently, but I'm...not excusing my rambling, by really saying that though because I always ramble." "But, anyway, I was just recently thinking about all of this 'it gets better' nonsense, you know, with, with um, pertaining to the teenagers being bullied into committing suicide. And, uh, the concept of bullying in general. And I've, in my life, I don't think I've ever conventionally been bullied. I can't really remember a single instance, but it's, it just seems so ironic, all of this nonsense. Even though I wasn't bullied in a conventional sense, I was bullied in the normal cultural sense, which everyone is bullied in. And when people speak about that, 'it gets better' nonsense, they say it in the context of 'well our children are being bullied, what can we do to create an environment in which they can thrive?' And that seems like such a blatant contradiction to me, because it's really demonstrating the true bullying that's going on, and that bullying is what every child is subjected to. The imposition of cultural values. And the only reason why they oppose...the conventional sense of bullying is because it interferes with their cultural imposition of value. And...it's just, children are constantly bullied in every sense of the term, when it comes to their upbringing." "Like, one instance I recently remembered, this...heh, this isn't I guess, a very good representation of what I'm talking about but I remember when I was about ten years old, and at the end of the day in elementary school we would get into lines and go from room to room, to gather the kids for the right bus. And I remember that, when I was in the line, we would get to a section of portable rooms which weren't connected to the main hallway so we would wait at that door which leads to them. And...the students, from there, would come join the line, and I remembered that usually I would, I don't, I don't really remember what I was doing but I would frantically signal to them as if there were some emergency. Um, I wasn't serious, I was..I don't know what I was doing, I was just bored I guess." "And anyway one day I looked through the window from the door leading to the portable classrooms, and I saw that the principal of the school was speaking to someone over there. And I thought, 'oh well I can't goof around when she's there', so I said out loud to the people, um, to the other students that were at the line there with me, I said 'oh the principal is there, well, I don't care', and by that time I just thought I was going to just, flap around, just motion as if there were some emergency, anyway, just fooling around. And the vice principal happened to be standing behind me, hearing me say 'oh the principal's there, I don't care', and she said the statement 'you should care', as if it were...something very insightful, and wise. And, even though she misunderstood the context of what I was saying, ignoring that, just, looking at that statement 'you SHOULD care', and that really...is a representation of, what childhood is. It's children saying, 'I don't care, I don't want your values, I don't want to live', and adults constantly saying 'you should care about values, you should choose culture, you should choose life', and that's what parenting and childhood and education and all of that is. It's just adults bullying children into accepting their values. So how can you possibly criticize, people for mocking the homosexuals and bullying them in some sense, when you're the ones who're incessantly bullying children? And, in that vein, heh, man, and the children, they grow up to do the same exact thing. And they just senselessly propagate these cultural memes...forever. It just keeps going on, they keep bullying eachother, and there's no point to any of it." "And this kind of ties into an interest I have, which is...well, heh, um...basically the way in which society treats pedophiles. And before I go any further, I should say, I'm not a pedophile, I've never knowingly had any contact with any pedophiles...at all. And, just strictly an academic interest in the subject, but... it... this whole bullying theme, it's remarkable how they can say that homosexual teenagers are being bullied, when any discrimination which homosexuals face is infinitely more insignificant when compared to the discrimination which pedophiles are faced aga-w- face against. Um, I mean, first off everyone hates you, you're subject to innumerable hate [comments?] just right off the bat, but if you're ever known to have engaged in a pedophilic relationship with a child, you're instantly imprisoned for long periods. You're put on a sex offender registry for the rest of your life. You are brutalized in prison, and people actually celebrate that as if it's a good thing. And then if you're lucky enough to escape prison with your life, you're on that sex offenders registry or possibly castrated, you're tracked with a GPS device in some instances, and...there are just, so many issues pedophiles face, and everyone seems to think that it's not a problem at all, it's somehow justified that they're treated in that manner." "And...and, you have to develop such extensive arguments just to refute that delusion, that somehow having sex with children is harmful to them innately. When, I'm...I've written an essay that's already 10,000 and, I'm nowhere near finished and it's already 10,000 words long with eight-thousand words in notes that I have to add. It'll probably end up over 25,000 words and it's just refuting this simple nonsense. And basically, all that it really boils down to, is that children aren't harmed by having sex, the reason why pedophilia is opposed is because it combines an ata-atavistic cultural opposition to sex with the undermining of authority of adults who relegate children to the property of status. Uh, sorry, to the status of their property. I've...typed that sentence, or forms of it, so many times, and it's really all that it is. It's just that you're undermining their authority to impose their cultural values on children, and of course when you interfere with that process, people are going to react violently. And it's...not innately harmful for children to have sex, it's.. so absurd, I've never seen a valid argument stating as such. And, um, really that's all that culture is. It's just the imp - the reason why I'm interested in this topic of pedophilia, is not because I have any ties to it, at all. It's because it really represents what culture is. It's a bunch of lies that exist to propagate itself. Infecting countless children for countless generations and just...continuing to perp-perpetuate, heh, I promise in the future I'll make some videos about pedophilia I'm not just gonna leave it on that note. My...arguments are much more refined than what I've just stated, but really it's just a bunch of nonsense." "And...why do...people even....people seem to think that, they're doing their children a favor, when they're imposing values on them. They're thinking 'my values are so great that a child needs to be brought up with them', they, um, they - they don't really realize what they're doing. And, first off I'm talking about people who actually choose to have children, instead of the 'whoops the condom broke guess I just raped the soul of our offspring', instead I'm talking about those people who intend on having children and intend on giving them a quote 'better life' than they had." "These people experienced what they consider to be trauma when they were children, saying 'oh my family was too poor to provide for us' or 'oh my family somehow abused us', and because of that they think that they can do their children a favor by changing their behavior when having their children. But, you're not doing your children any favors, you're not, it's like they think that you're...that somehow that process of parenting is progressing towards some enlightenment, but it's not doing that at all, the only reason why you...would want to do that with your children is because, not because you're being selfless, you're being selfish. You're trying to remedy your own psychological baggage. I mean, the children have nothing to do with it, they don't exist, they don't, they aren't subjected to whatever you were subjected to. It's... uh, I don't even know." "You don't do your children a favor by raising them in any way, all that you're doing is imposing values onro them and they're going to have to... do the same thing to their children, to fix their baggage and all of that nonsense. You think that you're progressing toward something, and I'm not saying that you're not progressing, that you're somehow deviating from some progression or...that you're going in circles. I'm not saying that at all, you're not going in circles, you're not progressing, you're...not doing anything. There's no movement at all, you're stuck in the zeroeth dimension and I'm stuck in the zeroeth dimension with no movement at all because... that's the structure of life. And that's what value demands, you're not accomplishing anything by doing any of this, you're just trying to fulfill the values that you've been instilled with. And if you don't have children, you don't need to fulfill any of those values. Uh... not sure where I should go right now, I mean, what I should talk about." "It really irritates me how people... they seem to say that, why should it be celebrated when a child is born? I think that you should say, um, 'I'm so sorry for your loss' whenever you hear that someone is pregnant. And it's the same thing with suicide, I used to feel sorry for people who committed suicide but I think they have the right idea." "Now I commend them, I think that people should throw celebrations when someone commits suicide because... they're able to escape this value trap. And... heh... I wish I were that determined, but I'm still psychologically stuck in all of this, I probably won't be pursuing that any time soon, but I've never heard a single good argument against suicide. (laughter) My favorite one is 'it's selfish to commit suicide!', as if it's somehow not selfish for those people to force that person to live who has already determined that life is not worth living, just so that they can fulfill their needs. Or rather their values, you don't need anything. But I guess in the vein of that whole, parenting thing, you imposing values onto your children to address your own...that's basically all that politics is, anyway." [video ends] x
