On S.T.A.M.P

It has always concerned me how few people actually attempt to make the world a better place. So many people exist in a state where they have simply inherited peace and security and do not care what threats to that peace and security come and go, because ultimately they are under the impression that this is simply the way the world is and it will not change.

It is my impression that regression is the natural state of things—that without some deliberate attempt to make the world a better place, it will regress back into a state of barbarism and chaos. I suppose that is why I have always been drawn to activism. Ever since a young age, fighting pipelines or political buyouts or counterintelligence operations, I always wanted to be part of making the world a better place, even though I have lacked, for the most part, all necessary credentials for doing so.

But being blessed with high intelligence and charisma while being cursed to be terrible at maintaining an average life left me with enough time to come up with a unique means of political activism. I believe the club format is ideal for creating cells of individuals that can themselves be decentralized yet organized enough to conduct massive political counteroffensives against foreign interference in domestic politics.

S.T.A.M.P. is meant to be a citizen’s intelligence initiative that defends the public narrative against foreign interference and those domestic conspirators who have bought into their agendas. In fact, at this stage of things, the manipulation of our political systems comes mostly from corrupted domestic individuals who care only about power and wealth and are willing to align with our historical adversaries who mean the people of our countries no goodwill.

I have always also been interested in charities. The manifestation of human goodwill is, to me, something that is psychologically conditioned into the psyche, and actively caring for others is the only means to ensure that altruistic philosophies can be built upon a behaviourally conditioned mind that is compassionate. So the S.T.A.M.P. clubs need to be twofold: they need to do a job, which is to defend democracy, but they also need to condition their members to be good human beings by doing charity. Until such a time that an institution can be formed that is structurally built and incentivized to benefit people for the sake of benefiting people, behavioural reconditioning is the best tool I have at a small scale.

And yes, my own persona modification technique is something I would like to build into the club, but I believe there would need to be some sort of oversight (see the essay on persona modification for more information). For now, charity and decentralized political activism through media production, media literacy, and counter-misinformation campaigns is the modus operandi of the club. And yet there are more requirements to make this vision work than just disseminating documents on foreign interference in domestic politics and doing charitable work to condition the mind to be good. There is also a need to become self-sufficient economically.

And so the economic aspect of actually starting businesses, brands, and various services offered by the club is necessary if the club is going to have any viability in the long run. Part of the experiment of the S.T.A.M.P. club is trying to make the entire thing work within the Equitalist framework, whereby there is no ownership structure to the club. Rather, members gain access to the resource pool based on a grade, and so there is no means of getting paid from the club—rather, very simply, access to the club’s resources and the club’s accounts. Since everybody is going to be compensated via a grade which weights how much access to the accounts the members get, it is a relatively equitable means of wealth distribution while still being competitively incentivized and profitable.

The products and lifestyle supported by the club will evolve into the club’s brand, one built around self-sufficiency, integrity, and autonomy. The technologically sovereign individual, the nomad entrepreneur, the new age sage—these are the archetypes that I have built the brand around. It is meant to be modern yet eccentric, with a bit of alt sci-fi fantasy blended into the themes, if that makes any sense. Personally, I like to make things like apparel, wearable gadgets, board games, and other such paraphernalia. Ultimately, it will be what others bring to the table and what customers purchase from the club that will determine the profitability of the movement and the content of the brand.

As for the administration of the club, I have divided the entire thing into four wings, of which each cell will have all four. These include the activist wing, which is denoted as Clubs; the charitable wing, which is denoted as Hearts; the enterprise wing, which is denoted as Diamonds; and the oversight and grading wing, which is denoted as Spades. The symbology of these wings is inspired greatly by the translation of tarot decks into playing card decks, and the origin of the tarot deck as a means of divination from the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and the origination of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn as a fusion of Western magical traditions from Hermeticism to Christianity to Judaism. For it is my personal background to have studied these things, and it is from those symbols that these philosophies have formed.

I have written about where I would like the club to go: about autonomous nations of Canada, about political parties and revolutions and AI superalignment. It is unlikely any of that is going to come to pass, but it is possible that through the dissemination of ethics and the countering of foreign interference through media literacy, our democracy can be strengthened and our society may yet endure the onslaught of psychological weaponry being used against us by foreign powers. For World War Three truly began the minute the special cooperation between Russia and China began, for that was the genesis of this plot. We are at war psychologically, and the moment it turns into physical warfare, the psychological conquest ends and the next stage begins. Though historians of war will say it is when NATO is dragged into conflict with one of these great powers, the fight is now, and if we do not fight, then we may yet find ourselves in a world that is much less hospitable and just than it is now.
