The Great Bertrand Russell Had The Intellect Of Ray Peat

Just have to listen to Dr.Peat’s brief discussions in some of Danny Roddy interviews for admiration for some of the communists. You just have to put the pieces together. He widely condemns consumerism, and shows tremendous distrust of the free market.

He’s influenced by Russian literature. Dostoyevsky saw within the peasant class the potential of a spiritual revolution, of men and women working together towards earthly providence.

Dr. Peat’s admiration of Soviet science is based on the orienting reflex and their inclusion of desire into the process of human experience. When contrasted with the behaviorist psychology coming from the US, I would say Soviet ideas were much more humane. Leninist were not Stalinists and within the communist party there was much disagreement. Russell seemed to be acutely aware of and interested in the problem women faced relying on men for material sustenance.

Ray has spoken favorably of Stalin, and unfavorably of Lenin. Some communists in one of the facebook groups were a bit upset over this. I don't have the quotes on hand but if you go look for them you might find them.

You can explore Peat’s interest in Soviet science within “Mind and Tissue: Russian Research Perspectives on the Human Brain,” I have a link to the PDF.

Thank you for the recommendation. I found the PDF when I googled the title.

“How to Grow Old” by Bertrand Russell - Ben Yan

As regards health, I have nothing useful to say as I have little experience of illness. I eat and drink whatever I like, and sleep when I cannot keep awake. I never do anything whatever on the ground that it is good for health, though in actual fact the things I like doing are mostly wholesome.
Psychologically there are two dangers to be guarded against in old age. One of these is undue absorption in the past. It does not do to live in memories, in regrets for the good old days, or in sadness about friends who are dead. One’s thoughts must be directed to the future, and to things about which there is something to be done. This is not always easy; one’s own past is a gradually increasing weight. It is easy to think to oneself that one’s emotions used to be more vivid than they are, and one’s mind more keen. If this is true it should be forgotten, and if it is forgotten it will probably not be true.

He mentioned his diet and lifestyle growing up was pretty austere. Even RP, who speaks so much about living for pleasure, reads/studies for most of his time and lives on a diet of fruit and milk, which is pretty ascetic. Tesla for example was also highly austere.

Just from personal observations it seems like pleasure is healthy for women and austerity is healthy for males, at least for developing intellectual abilities. When it comes to artistic abilities, austerity probably isn't good for males either. But the level of hedonism needed for developing artistic talent is actually even harder to sustain than an ascetic life, if that makes any sense... David Bowie would stay up for 5 days in a row on cocaine binges. Ordinary pleasure seeking doesn't cut it.

Speaking of David Bowie I think he lived off milk for several years of his life.....

In selected parts, one can realize he was completely out of his mind on some subjects.

He's denouncing Marx as more interested in making the bourgeois unhappy than to make the proletariat happy.(lol)

Yet Marx immediate contemporaries have repeatedly repudiated him as precisely part of the bourgeoisie, having spent his whole life comfortably living through his bourgeois friend Engels and never part of the proletariat at any moment.

Marx's whole work is destined to enslave even further the proletariat to the profit of an elite ruler class, something immediately denounced by Bakunine.

It's as if Russell never heard of these facts.

yes. Russell though to me objectifies the elite belief that technocratic solutions, society by science, can solve the world's problems.

He's sitting there, the H-bomb is a scary possibility, and I can understand "we need one world government" and this is EXACTLY what the elites think today. Exactly the same.

 

[lampofred]

Communism just wantsto bewhat a monarchy would be like under a good king/queen. So it makes sense the goal is one world government with an ideal and selfless monarch. And to be honest, I think I am on board with that as long the process to get there doesn't cause any pain/coercion/deception to others and the monarch really is a top notch character. Capitalism is "live fast die young" and is inherently unstable.

The Dollar-Elite is in my opinion not Globalistic at all.
They want their little shitty fiefdoms,they are highly regional and symbolic territory
means so much to them.

There is no doubt that the "dollar-elite" are globalists. They write books about how they are going to create a global government, and all their organizations, think tanks and NGOs are working towards that. The dollar-elites are cosmopolitans, they don't give a ***t about nations. With the exception of messianic jewish globalists who specifically want to rule the planet from Israel. But most of the elites couldn't care less, they are destroying every western nation and getting rich from it, they have no loyalty to any nation.

David Rockefeller wrote in his book Memoirs:

Some even believe we [Rockefeller family] are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - One World, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.

Paul Warburg appearing before the US senate:

We shall have world government, whether or not we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest.

Zbigniew Brzezinski in his book The Grand Chessboard:

In brief, the U.S. policy goal must be unapologetically twofold: to perpetuate America's own dominant position for at least a generation and preferably longer still; and to create a geopolitical framework that can absorb the inevitable shocks and strains of social-political change while evolving into the geopolitical core of shared responsibility for peaceful global management. A prolonged phase of gradually expanding cooperation with key Eurasian partners, both stimulated and arbitrated by America, can also help to foster the preconditions for an eventual upgrading of the existing and increasingly antiquated UN (United Nations) structures. A new distribution of responsibilities and privileges can then take into account the changed realities of global power, so drastically different from those of 1945.

All of these rats are working towards global government and no matter who you're voting for they're all turning more and more power over to the EU & IMF and similair organizations.

 

[iPeat]

What positive remarks do you mean?

The most specific, positive, political remarks about a particular society I've heard Peat make are about the town of Marinaleda, Andalusia, Spain. He's mentioned it in 2 different interviews as far as I know.

It could not happen without "pain/coercion/deception" at an extreme level. Ruling and therefore governmental power is defined by coercion.

Excellent observations. I would like to add Professor Anthony Sutton’s research into the elite’s treasonous involvement and financing of the Bolshevik revolution in his book “Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution” along with Juri Lina’s research “Under the Sign of the Scorpion”. I’ve also read biographies of Marx himself along with his literature including his poetry. In a nutshell I would say that communism is a sugar-coated ideology heavily favoured by the elite ruling class to exploit the idealisms of intellectuals and groups of disenfranchised people to work towards the enslavement of humanity.

Marx essentially idealized himself as a dictator and had little empathy for individuals around him including his family, wife, children, and his associates yet obsessively wrote about a proletariat he barely knew and often disliked or viewed with elitist disdain if their ideas didn’t align with his own. His philosophy forms the basis of justification for having many people to work towards giving up their individual freedoms and have power to be heavily concentrated (a perfect recipe for psychopaths to come to power).

I don’t have time to provide sources just read some biographies such as: how he always demanded money from his family but rarely ever visited them or skipped his father’s funeral and instead wrote a letter demanding money from his mother or spent his wife’s income on his revolutionary activity while his family starved or had a friend fight a duel for him or get into fights with his associates or would rat on his friends to the police or the hateful things he said about working class (actual working) socialists or the angry fits of rage he would go into in fromt of his family or how he refused to work a normal job for income for most of his life and instead demanded money from his family, his wife’s family, friends, etc and despite his generous income managed to blow his money away, his extremist mindset and belief in violent and bloody revolution, his disposition to alcohol, how little he ever stepped into an actual factory or mine and ever worked one of those jobs, etc.

Then is it any wonder how wealthy bankers like Jacob Schiff or the Warburgs could directly sponsor, finance, plan, and advocate for communism based on Marxist ideology? And how droves of intellectuals and disenfranchised people support a system that plays into the hands of the elite and psychopaths, ultimately leading to their enslavement or deaths?

Marx was indeed a flawed Man.
He was a pure thinker,and he used his friendship with engels and contacts for advancement of his political
and societal goals,but a lot that was written about him is in bad-faith and is just neglecting that he was
in the end a professional philosopher with atypical funding.

Russell’s towering intellect is visible in his philosophic works.

My favorite story that says so much

The chicken that is fed by the farmer each morning may well have a theory that it will always be fed each morning - it becomes a ‘law’. And it works every day, until the day the chicken is instead slaughtered.

I was asking for specific remarks about the Soviets, and Mao and Stalin that postman claims Peat has made.

Anecdote from Bertrand Russell's Autobiography Vol I:
I had no fruit, practically no sugar, and an excess of carbohydrates. Nevertheless, I never had a day's illness except a mild attack of measles at the age of eleven. Since I became interested in children, after the birth of my own children, I have never known one nearly as healthy as I was, and yet I am sure that any modern expert on children's diet would think that I ought to have had various deficiency diseases. ...
...
During my early years at Pembroke Lodge the servants played a larger part in my life than the family did. ... there was a French cook named Michaud, who was rather terrifying, but in spite of her awe-inspiring qualities I could not resist going to the kitchen to see the roast meat turning on the old-fashioned spit, and to steal lumps of salt, which I liked better than sugar, out of the salt box. She would pursue me with a carving knife, but I always escaped easily. ...'
Bertrand Russell 1872-1970.
