It just never ends. I am always at the receiving end of libertard crank bullshit.

The latest unsolicited email from someone I never heard of and cc’ing people I never heard of:

Dear Sir/Madam ,

I have proof that New York is going to be destroyed by a nuclear bomb. This is the current narrative. Trump and Israel have failed with Iran. The Ayatollah’s son is still alive. According to the narrative, his blood is boiling with pure hatred of America because America massacred his family. According to the news, Iran has 84% ​​enriched uranium. Unfortunately, this was three years ago. It could now be close to 90%. According to the Bible, New York is going to be destroyed. This will happen during the World Cup when Trump is in MetLife Stadium. This missile will be launched from a boat moored off New York. This means the end of the West. This is also stated in the Bible. But how is it that the Bible, the Koran, and the Torah are right? This is explained in the chapter on the “end times” .

Is there proof of this? The answer is yes. In the chapter on the “end times” you will find the proof. Even very hard evidence. This chapter has had a huge update.

What are the “end times” about? It is not about a great Jewish empire. This has to do with the fact that the Jews have no power on earth. There is an even greater power above the Rothschilds/WEF . Is it about a New World Order and the answer is no. We are now in a biblical story. Is it about Jesus with his 5D spiritual culture and the answer is no.

It’s about those who created all cultures. But who are they, and who are above the Rothschilds? This is described in the chapter on the “end times” . The real “end times” are in this file.

Did you know that in 2024 it was announced that a revolution would occur in Iran in 2026 ???? The proof is in the chapter on “end times” .

A question? Do you live in New York ?

All knowledge is free! (last update 18-3-26)

Sincerely, M

Here is the file it sent me. It (‘natch) came with no title, so I had ChatGPT help me make one: “Free Energy, Perpetual Motion, Holograms, and Utopia A Conspiratorial Pseudoscience Manifesto” (2026-03-21) (pdf).

It starts out sooo promisingly:

The higher consciousness world says that Utopia is the highest culture in the universe. The file is filled with knowledge that is new to Earth.

1) Concept of free energy

This idea was developed in 1980. The first thought was that you can eliminate resistance, you get infinite energy at your disposal. I created the law that a mass that moves is an energy and if a mass moves without resistance then energy is infinite. I then thought of 2 elements. Magnetic bearing and a vacuum system that would solve a large part of the resistance . Another thought was that energy is released after energy. An example :

you grab a tennis ball with your hand. Then you move the ball with your hand. What you do is that you move a mass with your hand (energy). In the end, all our technologies are based on that. But it can also be done differently. You only tap the ball once with your hand. What happens is that the ball keeps moving without you putting extra energy into it. And that’s what it’s all about.

I call the concept frequency or pulse motor .

You can divide this into two: a generator

a power station

A generator has its advantage because of its size that it can make use of magnetic bearings .

 

You bring the system (alternator) to the desired speed. Then stop the drive.

You can see what happens in the picture. (c) is the energy released after energy, (b) is the decay (resistance) that occurs. Then by an electromagnetic boost (a) you correct the decay.

This boost (a) is created by magnets found on roller coasters. Only on roller coasters do you use multiple elements to create an acceleration and with the dynamo you only need one.

All this is too much for my little brain. I ran it by the two smartest guys I know, Guido Hülsmann and Hans Hoppe, but it’s apparently beyond even our combined intellectual might. As Hoppe told me, “That the bible etc even knew about the soccer tournament is truly amazing and further support of its unsurpassed wisdom… We are just too dumb for advanced thinking. Guess we have to live with that.”

So I asked ChatGPT to give me a little report. Maybe I can study it later when I am 96 and on death’s door.

Free Energy, Holograms, Utopia, and Other Conspiratoid Crankery

I was recently sent a document titled Everything in the file is free!, a sprawling manifesto combining perpetual-motion “free energy” claims, anti-scientific metaphysics, conspiracy theorizing, and a kind of mystical-utopian collectivism. It is the sort of thing that, sadly, libertarian and adjacent circles have always tended to attract: cranks, conspiratoids, pseudo-engineers, New Age mystics, and assorted kooks who mistake private revelation, intuition, and resentment of expertise for thought.

This document is a nearly perfect specimen of the genre.

It manages to combine, in one package:

• perpetual motion / over-unity energy claims;
• appeals to “higher consciousness” and even “voices in head” as sources of knowledge;
• rejection of basic physics;
• claims that universities and capitalism suppress the truth;
• and a weird anti-property, anti-money, anti-competition utopian social theory.

In other words: textbook crank material.

The Free Energy Fantasy

The first section proposes a familiar pseudo-technical fantasy. The author’s core claim is that if resistance can be eliminated, then “energy is infinite.” He proposes a system involving magnetic bearings, vacuum, feedback loops, electromagnetic boosts, and other hand-waving references to magnets, microwaves, and alternators. He then casually suggests efficiencies greater than 100%, even claiming returns of 400%.

This is not a theory. It is not engineering. It is not even coherent speculation. It is a category error wrapped in technological jargon.

A body moving without friction does not thereby generate infinite energy. At most, in a simplified idealized model, it continues in motion absent dissipative forces. That is not remotely the same thing as getting free usable energy out of a system. This is the same elementary confusion found in perpetual motion schemes and “energy machine” crankery going back generations.

The style of argument is also familiar: there is no actual working prototype, no careful test, no serious model, no disciplined mathematics—just analogies, assertions, and intuition. Roller coasters, tennis balls, microwave ovens, magnets, loops. Crank engineering is always like this: lots of “concepts,” no demonstrated mechanism.

Joseph Newman All Over Again

This immediately reminded me of the Joseph Newman style of “energy machine” thinking: misunderstood physics, grandiose claims, persecution narrative, and the implicit assumption that mainstream science rejects the idea not because it is wrong, but because it is too threatening.

The same pattern repeats over and over:

1. The crank has a vague but emotionally compelling “insight.”
2. Experts are unimpressed.
3. The rejection is interpreted as proof of suppression.
4. The entire world is then reimagined as a system designed to suppress The Truth.

That is exactly what is happening here.

“High Consciousness World” and “Voices in Head”

The document openly appeals to a “High consciousness world,” even parenthetically identifying this as “voices in head,” as a source of guidance and validation. At that point, one should stop pretending we are dealing with science or philosophy.

This is not argument. It is not evidence. It is not a public or rational method of inquiry. It is private revelation.

And private revelation is epistemically worthless as such. Others cannot test it, check it, reproduce it, or evaluate it except by asking whether the conclusions independently make sense. Here, they plainly do not.

Once the author says, in effect, “my voices tell me the efficiency can be 80/20 and therefore 400%,” we are outside the realm of serious inquiry. That is not heterodox science. That is self-disqualification.

Tesla Crankery

Like many such writers, the author invokes Nikola Tesla as a kind of mystical patron saint of forbidden knowledge. This is also standard. Tesla is not treated as an inventor whose actual work can be understood and evaluated, but as a magical authority figure onto whom later cranks project their fantasies about “infinite energy,” hidden science, and suppressed truth.

This is one of the surest signs that one is reading free-energy literature rather than science. Tesla becomes not an historical figure but a talisman. The invocation functions rhetorically like this: “Tesla was a genius; Tesla was misunderstood; therefore my non sequiturs about infinite energy deserve deference.” Of course they do not.

The Conspiracy Reflex

The author also suggests that capitalism, Western universities, and unnamed power structures suppress free energy technologies. Again, this is utterly routine. Crank ideas are almost always insulated by a conspiracy story.

If the idea is ignored: suppression.

If it is criticized: suppression.

If it is refuted: suppression.

If no one invests in it: suppression.

This is not reasoning but immunization. It protects the belief from the obvious inference—that the theory is incoherent, unsupported, or childish.

One sees this constantly among “conspiratoids”: they cannot imagine that serious people reject their views because the views are bad. Rejection must therefore be explained by bad faith, cowardice, capture, bribery, ideology, capitalism, the state, the elites, or “the system.”

Now, of course, real conspiracies do exist. Governments lie. Corporations collude. Institutions suppress embarrassing facts. But that banal truth does not entitle every crank to leap from “my idea is rejected” to “therefore a global regime is suppressing me.”

Physics as Word Salad

The “free energy” material is bad enough, but the document then veers into cosmic metaphysics. We are told, among other things, that the universe is energy, that everything is a hologram of “codes,” that matter does not really exist, that light does not move, that time does not exist, that the earth does not move, and that physics as such is merely a kind of illusion generated within a matrix-like system.

This is not an alternative cosmology. It is word salad.

One can always string together terms like “energy,” “codes,” “hologram,” “consciousness,” “matrix,” and “quantum.” That does not amount to explanatory content. A serious theory must clarify its concepts, identify what is being claimed, explain causal relations, and expose itself to possible refutation.

None of that happens here.

Instead, the document just lurches from one assertion to the next. “Everything is energy”; “the universe is consciousness”; “time does not exist”; “truth does not exist”; “we are God”; “light does not move.” This is pseudo-profundity: sentences that sound sweeping and deep because they are vague, not because they are insightful.

Self-Refuting Nonsense

One recurring claim is that “truth does not exist.” Needless to say, that claim is asserted as though it is true. So the position immediately collapses into self-refutation.

This sort of contradiction is common in mystical-utopian thinking. The writer wants the rhetorical thrill of abolishing “truth,” “logic,” “science,” “borders,” “capitalism,” and the rest, but then cannot help reintroducing truth claims at every turn. Thus: there is no truth, except the truth that there is no truth; everything is illusion, except my insight into the illusion; science is false, except when I invoke science to support my device.

The same incoherence runs through the whole manuscript.

From Crank Physics to Utopian Collectivism

The later sections describe “Utopia,” which turns out to mean a society without money, without competition, without property in any recognizable sense, without genuine individuality, and with communal arrangements justified in the name of “love,” equality, and “higher consciousness.”

That should already sound familiar: the usual fantasy that all social and economic problems can be dissolved if we just stop being selfish, abolish institutions associated with property and exchange, and live according to some purified collective ethic.

This is not libertarianism. It is not even serious social theory. It is a quasi-religious utopianism with a faint New Age flavor and a heavy anti-capitalist bias.

As always, the hard questions are simply ignored:

• Who decides how resources are allocated?
• How are scarcity and competing uses addressed?
• How is production coordinated without prices, ownership, and exchange?
• How are incentives structured?
• How are disputes resolved?
• How are error, abuse, and free riding handled?

The answer, apparently, is: love.

But “love” is not a theory of social coordination. It is not a substitute for economics, law, institutions, or property. The world is full of people who speak of love while advocating coercive schemes, delusional systems, and infantilizing collectivism.

Anti-Property and Anti-Money Confusions

The hostility to money, markets, private ownership, and competition is especially telling. The author treats these things as artificial sources of misery and imagines that abundance, equality, and harmony would emerge if they were abolished. This is adolescent anti-economics.

Money is not the cause of scarcity. Property is not the cause of conflict. Markets are not the cause of the need to choose among scarce means. These institutions are social responses to scarcity, conflict, uncertainty, and dispersed knowledge. One can dislike them emotionally, but one does not refute them by chanting “love” and “equality.”

This is one of the most common features of crank-utopian literature: economic reality is treated as a moral defect rather than a structural fact of human action in a scarce world.

The Libertarian Movement’s Freakshow Problem

Unfortunately, libertarian and anti-state circles have always had a tendency to attract this kind of material: common-law court nuts, tax-protester incantation people, militia fantasists, pseudoscience hobbyists, and endless varieties of “they don’t want you to know this” entrepreneurs.

Part of the reason is understandable. A healthy skepticism toward state power and establishment institutions can shade, in unstable minds, into a generalized inability to distinguish warranted skepticism from free-floating paranoia and gullibility. Once someone decides “the mainstream lies,” he may become vulnerable to the next step: “therefore whatever the mainstream rejects is probably true.”

But this is a childish inversion. One must judge ideas on their merits, with reason and evidence, not by their outsider status. Being marginalized does not make one right. Being mocked does not make one Galileo. Sometimes the village crank is just the village crank.

Representative Passages

A few claims from the document give the flavor:

“If a mass moves without resistance then energy is infinite.”

No. That confuses persistence of motion with creation of usable energy.

“Following the High consciousness world (voices in head) you can get a return of 80/20.”

That is not evidence. It is a confession that the inquiry is grounded in private voices rather than public reason.

“You get a return of 400%.”

Asserted without demonstration, of course.

“Light does not move.”

This is the sort of sentence one can write only if one does not understand the concepts involved and does not feel constrained by reality.

“Time does not exist.”

Another grandiose slogan, asserted within a temporal sequence of thought and writing.

“Everything in the world is an illusion because truth does not exist.”

Again, self-refuting.

Why This Sort of Thing Matters

Normally one would not bother responding to material like this. But there is some value in identifying the pattern, because the same cluster of errors recurs over and over:

• conceptual confusion mistaken for originality;
• private intuition mistaken for knowledge;
• technical jargon mistaken for science;
• outsider status mistaken for heroism;
• rejection mistaken for suppression;
• and utopian moralism mistaken for social theory.

This is how cranks think. And if one does not identify the pathology, one wastes time “engaging” it as though it were merely an eccentric but serious contribution.

Bottom Line

This document is not a profound suppressed breakthrough. It is a mélange of perpetual-motion fallacies, mystical metaphysics, self-refuting slogans, conspiracy reflexes, and anti-economic utopianism.

It belongs in the same broad category as Joseph Newman-style energy-machine crankery, Tesla-myth free-energy cultism, “common law court” pseudo-legalism, and the other familiar detritus that accumulates on the fringes of anti-establishment subcultures.

To put it plainly: it is conspiratoid crank material, not science, not philosophy, and not a serious contribution to libertarian thought.

And no, the reason universities are not embracing it is not because capitalism fears the truth.

It is because the thing is nonsense.
