A few topics have plagued me this past week: globalism, ecology, the United Nations, and chaos. It was only Monday that things clicked.

There is a little known concept in ecology and environmentalism called the ‘Olduvai Theory‘ which forwards the idea that industrialization is a temporary state fed by finite resources and reliant on transient conditions for its survival. It reaches an apex and then crashes as situations and means change. This theory has been used in a cosmological context to explain why perhaps, even if extraterrestrial life was possible, we have seen no sign of it, no contact, not a word, the implication being that a boom in technological development will implode long before the means are devised to initiate interstellar travel. The theory is old and worse for wear as the time frame has extended, but it has influenced the United Nations greatly, as like us, they have seen trouble on the horizon.

Granted, the trouble they see is largely environmental, namely of anthropogenic global warming, but also problems of the industrial age, like topsoil erosion and water acidification. This muddies up the progressive punchbowl, but not to worry.

We can still progress as a species, though the entire world will have to change in order to achieve it. And when I say the entire world, I mean the entire world. Iran, China, North Korea, the United States, Cape Verde, all of them will have to follow the same blueprint, and what better organization to spearhead and plan such an effort than the United Nations?

SDG is shorthand for ‘Sustainable Development Goals,’ something the UN has cooked up as its doctrine for the imposition first of Modernity onto the world ensemble of countries, and then finally a control system, which will sap the sovereignty of nations to determine their own affairs. Utopian goals like ending poverty and hunger are top of the list.

Tied into this, of course, is the scheming of organizations like the World Bank and the IMF, as well as social agendas that have activists drooling. Imagine, a body which could impose abortion and same-sex marriage on the whole world in the interest of equality. No more meddling Croat referendums or high Indian courts to deal with. But the real goal of this is to have in place a lockdown code on the entire planet, so that when the chickens come home to roost for the Modern World, those in the mold of Christine Lagarde retain power, even if it has to be imposed with a jackboot. If environmental, financial, or social disaster strikes, the world government will be there not to help necessarily, but to make sure there isn’t a disruption to the greater order of things. Everyone has to be wired in for the survival of ‘spaceship earth,’ whether they like it or not.

What cranks get wrong is just how unsuccessful this movement has been, and the truth is that its adherents are swimming against a tide of human nature that is swelling to a cascade, and now threatens to drown the entire project.

If he accepts the probability of global calamity in the near future, then the committed Modernist must design a system to safeguard Modernity, and the only solution is totalitarianism, an Orwellian world where wind farms meet wealth redistribution (and for all those feeling the Bern, wealth redistribution here means from the global rich to the global poor, so bad luck). Remember when nationalism was a pillar of left-wing thought? They walked that off the plank pretty quickly, so don’t be surprised when what’s left of participatory democracy gets given the boot, as well. If it’s in the way of Progress, dump it. Again, I will emphasize that this project of theirs, while succeeding in some areas, is failing in the macro. The world doesn’t want to play ball and achieve those sustainable development goals, and why should it? Why should China stunt its own economy to ensure the welfare of Gabon? That isn’t how the world works. People are already predicting the failure of this effort, and it is barely out of the gate.

Something that has always puzzled me about Aleksandr Dugin’s work is his praise of chaos. Reactionaries like to see themselves as the vanguards of order and stability, but let us consider the Russian philosopher’s words:

To make an appeal to the Chaos is the only way to save Logos. Logos needs a savior for itself, it couldn’t save itself, it needs something opposite to itself to be restored in the critical situation of Post-Modernity. We could not transcend the Post-Modernity. The latter can’t be overcome without appeal to something that has been prior to the reason of its decay. So we should resort to other philosophies than the Western one.

The Cathedral is not chaos. We have identified in it institutions: an occult motivator, interconnected parts operating in often predictable fashion, even some level of warped hierarchy. The Cathedral is a type of order, but a negative type. We represent the positive type. Should global events become the chaos that Modernism has ultimately led us to via governmental mistakes and societal entropy, then its adherents have two options: give in to that chaos, or impose a merciless and draconian version of the negative order, where nations are governed under law, and then eventually are governed under government. In slow and deliberate fashion, we will be weaned off fossil fuels, just as we will be weaned off all sense of identity and humanity. For a price, we will have avoided that fate that might have befallen those interstellar travelers we never hear from.

And so, the choice now falls to us. Will it be progressive totalitarianism, or chaos? Do we trust ourselves and our fate to Soros Inc. or to the black sea of anarchy, from which our people at least have a fighting chance of emerging alive?

If there is a mission of action for the reactionary, it is to see the goals of the United Nations, the real seat of the liberal intelligentsia now that nations themselves are passé, and to oppose them at every turn, hinder and sabotage them. Where they call for peace, pine for war. Where they demand unity, sow discord. Where they curry trust, disseminate doubt. They wish to extend this spectacle for another few hundred years, by reducing the entire world to an ethnic soup of fearful and zombified children, easy to placate with baubles while rumors abound of head-shrinking viruses and water shortages. This is their ‘sustainable development.’ No, I think the spectacle ends before the turn of the next century, a finale of noise and heat from which only one force worthy of leadership, the one nourished with timeless truths, will emerge.

René Guénon left us these words of wisdom in his essay ‘A Material Civilization‘:

It is written in the Gospel: “All they that take the sword shall perish by the sword”; those who unloose the brute forces of matter will perish, crushed by those same forces, of which they are no longer masters when they rashly set them in motion, and which they cannot claim to hold back indefinitely once launched on their fatal course; forces of nature or forces of mass man, or both in combination, it makes little difference, because in either case it is the laws of matter which come into play and which will inexorably destroy those who believed it possible to manipulate them without themselves rising superior to matter.
