When examining certain interesting topics, one may be lured into the nature of certain subjects due to the specific mystery and intrigue surrounding the scenario at hand. A prime example of this involves the quantum principle that elements can exist in two or more states simultaneously. In fact, the even stranger reality surrounding this topic is that in a quantum state, a biological organism can actually be both alive and dead at the exact same time. As strange as this may sound, this is precisely what Erwin Schrödinger proposed in 1935 with his intriguing thought experiment known as Schrödinger’s cat. The Austrian physicist, Erwin Schrödinger, developed this thought experiment for the purpose of demonstrating the absurdity of an idea. Schrödinger did this as a critique of the dominant Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. To truly illustrate the absurd nature of the Copenhagen interpretation, Schrödinger wanted to use large real life objects to apply to the interpretation to drive home the thought process behind the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics. The mind-bending twist that’s associated with the strange quantum rules of the time is that a particle doesn’t actually choose one reality until someone is actually able to observe or measure it. In examining this odd rule of quantum mechanics, the particle exists in a blur of options that exist all at once in a bizarre state referred to as superposition. In order to bring clarity to this odd existence, Schrödinger’s thought experiment imagines a cat locked inside a perfectly sealed, soundproof box. Within the box there’s a mechanical setup involving a radioactive atom, a radiation detector, a hammer, and a vial of deadly poison. In this experimental setup, the presence of the radioactive atom is what creates the quantum event. Consequently, there is a fifty-fifty chance that the atom will decay, triggering the radiation detector, which then releases a hammer to smash the vial of deadly poison to kill the cat. Conversely, if the atom does not decay, the cat lives; however, given the setup of Schrödinger’s experiment, a mind-bending twist still remains. As stated earlier with the Copenhagen interpretation, Schrödinger simply substitutes microscopic particles with a living cat to demonstrate a point. Until an observation is made regarding the inside of the box, the enigmatic cat remains stuck in a state of all existing realities. In other words, through the lens of superposition, the cat is both alive and dead simultaneously. Intel Discussion: The Spirit of 1776 vs The Spirit of 1917 Next, The Dark Studio shifts focus to an analysis of Dr. Bradley Thayer’s latest article, recently published in The Epoch Times, “America vs. Communism.” Dr. Bradley A. Thayer is a founding member of the Committee on Present Danger China and a true operational zenith that has devoted his life to the preservation of the Occident. A sovereign mind can clearly grasp the importance of self-identity. Without a distinct self-identity, the likelihood of one preserving that which isn’t clearly defined is heavily diminished. In the physical world, this sort of knowledge should be inherent. After all, this is why people have names, this is why properties have boundaries, and why laws are written. In short, such traits are used to clearly define and differentiate the identifying properties of people and things. When individual identity is lost or taken, it’s referred to as identity theft. This exact brand of structural theft is what communists have been engaging in here in the United States for quite some time. In Thayer’s latest article, he points to the significance of preserving national identity pertaining to the United States and the rest of the Occident, and how the communists have worked to erode that identity for well over a hundred years. Dr. Thayer points to the current ideological unrest that Americans are feeling and how this is due to the fact that American politics no longer fits the old paradigm. In other words, the political landscape has completely decoupled from its previously recognized traditional battle lines. To cut through the fog of war and to accurately identify this battlefield, Dr. Thayer points to how the old battle lines between Republicans and Democrats have been supplanted by a titanic battle between the communist left and the MAGA right. To further clarify his perspective, Thayer goes on to highlight how the country is in a period of upheaval due to the worsening ideological division. In more closely examining this divide, on one side Americans are working to preserve the principles, ideas, institutions, and values of the American Revolution of 1776. However, he clearly points out how the Spirit of 1776 is under attack. On the opposing side of the Spirit of 1776 is the Spirit of 1917; the year of the Bolshevik Revolution, and this spirit is alive and well in the arena of American politics. The Dark Studio always emphasizes the importance of accurately recognizing the battlefield along with understanding the tactics of the players within that battlefield. Thayer points this out as well as he elaborates on how communists historically advance their policy agenda through what they call “revolutionary defeatism”—the worse, the better. Essentially, the domestic communists intentionally work to make things worse in America, not better. To specify this point, Thayer highlights that the worse conditions become within the United States—the more divided, the more violent, the more abysmal the economy, the higher the influx of illegal migration, the more H-1Bs deployed to replace American workers, and the more individuals engaging in self-destructive transitions—the better. The core ideas involved with revolutionary defeatism include the belief that their true enemies are at home, they turn war into civil war, and they undermine the war effort. In that last core idea of undermining the war effort they often do this by getting soldiers to turn against military command. Remember when Senator Mark Kelly and the other host of seditious individuals encouraged other military members to ignore so-called unlawful orders from superior officers and the president? In the current context of this modern societal situation, this is an example of revolutionary defeatism. In seeking out some additional real life examples of this, one doesn’t have to look any further than the pandemic with the inhumane actions of Dr. Fauci. His recent lack of testimony in front of Congress, and his personal diary entries directly highlight the decay of the medical system. On a more local level, one can easily observe the abysmal Los Angeles government making it difficult for residents to rebuild their burned down homes many months after the tragic fires in the Pacific Palisades. The lack of urgency from that local leadership could be seen when Mayor Karen Bass abandoned her post and got on a plane to fly to Ghana when the fires first erupted. Why would the mayor of Los Angeles need to fly to another country during such a tragic local disaster? Another example is the Biden regime allowing in tens of millions of illegals during his time occupying the office, along with the poor handling of the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment, the lackluster response concerning the Maui fires, and the intentional withholding of aid to Hurricane Helene victims in Western North Carolina. As it concerned the Hurricane Helene victims, it appears billions of dollars were allegedly redirected to help illegal migrants according to a report from The Heritage Foundation. The Dark Studio is here to also serve as a reminder to sovereign thinkers as to the extreme danger and scale that’s associated with this sort of revolutionary defeatism. To highlight this point one doesn’t have to look any further than the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal where the Biden regime left behind a staggering $7 billion in military firepower and equipment to the Taliban as reported directly by CBS News. The irony of that last disaster is quite disturbing as the remembrance of September 11 just passed into the nation’s rearview mirror just four days ago. All of these examples demonstrate how these Marxists leverage crises for the purpose of carrying out domestic revolution with the strategy involving the worse, the better. In these examples of suffering, some of these disasters were simply unfortunate events; however, the repetitive failure after failure concerning the government response to these disasters is something too consistent to warrant a simple accusation of incompetence. These were all intentional actions of revolutionary defeatism. In other words, this is an obvious acceleration from being managed decline to an all out attempt of outright demolition.
