I've been reading Consuela's work across The Neo-Feudal Review and Living Opposites, particularly his essays on Jung, Abraxas, the problem of evil, and the metaphysical structure of reality.

My assessment is that Consuela is an intellectually ambitious, widely read autodidact with a distinctive philosophical preoccupation, but his theoretical sophistication is considerably less than his conceptual vocabulary suggests.

He has a real talent for identifying philosophical tensions, especially the difficulty of reconciling natural suffering with belief in an omnipotent, benevolent God. His strongest writing emerges when he examines how those tensions affect his own psychological life.

His central weakness is that he repeatedly moves from an interesting philosophical observation to an extraordinarily expansive explanatory framework without establishing the intermediate propositions.

There's a fascinating disparity between the rigor he explicitly values and the rigor his arguments actually exhibit.

## Where I think he's strongest

His January 2026 essay, [Individuation Under Abraxas], is probably the best entry point to understanding his project.

He describes spending years trying to reconcile his experience of injustice, predation, and suffering with an inherited conception of a morally good universe. Eventually, he adopts Abraxas as a symbol of a reality that contains both creation and destruction.

There's a psychologically intelligible process here. Someone experiences an intolerable contradiction between expectations and observations, revises the beliefs generating that contradiction, and experiences a reduction in psychological strain.

He is also unusually explicit that his worldview answers a personal need for coherence. I give him credit for recognizing that. He acknowledges uncertainty about whether the resulting psychological change will persist.

As autobiographical philosophy, this is interesting material.

## The central philosophical failure

Consider [The Observable Structure of Reality](), published July 13, 2026.

He moves through embryology, cellular death, biological selection, predation, extinction, stellar evolution, and the eventual thermodynamic fate of the universe.

He argues that destruction is constitutive of reality and concludes that the appropriate God image is one containing both creation and destruction, good and evil.

The observations are substantially real. But the inference is extraordinarily weak.

There are several distinct propositions:

1. Destruction is a pervasive feature of physical reality.

2. A universe containing extensive suffering presents difficulties for classical theism.

3. Destruction and creation are metaphysically inseparable.

4. The divine must therefore contain good and evil as constitutive opposites.

5. Consciousness exists to supply something this divine totality lacks.

The first two have substantial evidential and philosophical support. The others require independent arguments.

He frequently treats the progression as though each proposition naturally establishes the next. It doesn't.

And here's the problem with Abraxas as an explanatory theory: a God defined to contain absolutely everything is compatible with absolutely any observation.

If the universe is merciful, Abraxas explains it. If it's cruel, Abraxas explains it. If humanity becomes more cooperative, Abraxas explains it. If humanity destroys itself, Abraxas explains it.

That makes Abraxas an accommodating symbolic framework, but gives it little explanatory discrimination.

He can legitimately answer that he is describing a God image, a psychological representation rather than a scientific hypothesis. In fact, he sometimes makes precisely this distinction.

But his essays also claim that the observed structure of the universe supports his particular metaphysical position.

That shift between psychological usefulness and metaphysical truth is insufficiently controlled.

## His fascination with opposites becomes a universal solvent

This is perhaps his most distinctive intellectual weakness.

In [The Collapse of the All-Good God], he argues that reality is structured through oppositions: light and darkness, good and evil, life and death, order and chaos.

Certainly, some concepts are intelligible through contrast. And some physical processes require gradients or differences.

But these observations establish different things.

The semantic opposition between good and evil does not establish that evil must exist for goodness to exist.

The physical dependence of a heat engine on a temperature difference does not establish a universal metaphysics of opposed psychic energies.

And an individual experiencing conflicting desires does not establish that consciousness itself arises from a cosmic crucifixion of opposites.

He regularly treats semantic, psychological, physical, and metaphysical relationships as manifestations of a single underlying structure.

That could become a substantial philosophical hypothesis. But he would need to specify the common structure, explain the mappings between domains, and identify where the analogy fails.

At present, much of this is associative synthesis expressed with the confidence of deduction.

Neo-Feudal Review

## The political writing is considerably worse

This is where I have the most serious reservations.

In [The Core Themes of this Substack], he advances the claim that Rothschilds and allied Jewish banking families secretly own the world's central banks.

His February 2026 essay, [Why Elite Power Structures Converge on Talmudic-Kabbalistic Frameworks], then constructs a theory about powerful elites converging on Jewish religious frameworks to legitimate exploitation.

He explicitly says that this latter argument is conditional and disavows ethnic essentialism. That's relevant to interpreting his stated intention. But its premise draws on a longstanding antisemitic conspiracy narrative, and the analysis does not establish that premise.

The institutional facts conflict with his ownership claims. The Federal Reserve is established under federal law with a public Board of Governors; the European Central Bank is owned by EU national central banks; and the Bank of England is wholly owned by the British government.

Who owns the Federal Reserve?

Of course, formal ownership does not resolve every question about financial influence or institutional power. Those are legitimate subjects of investigation.

But he builds an enormous political and metaphysical superstructure on assumptions that he has not established.

His approach also makes correction difficult: contrary evidence can be interpreted as further evidence of concealment, institutional capture, or successful elite manipulation.

That's a particularly serious problem for someone who repeatedly describes his intellectual orientation as prioritizing truth and coherence.

## The writing itself

I think his prose is competent and sometimes effective, but overly solemn, repetitive, and self dramatizing.

He has an identifiable voice. His recurring vocabulary of crucifixion, psychic energy, individuation, the Self, the God image, and metaphysical coherence gives his essays a recognizable conceptual atmosphere.

But he seems to have difficulty allowing an observation to remain modest.

A disagreement becomes an encounter between incompatible psychic constitutions. A relationship difficulty becomes the externalization of unresolved opposites. A political development becomes an expression of deep metaphysical architecture.

One example is his treatment of language in [Words as Forcefields].

He begins with the defensible observation that language affects perception and cognition, referencing research on linguistic differences in spatial and color perception.

He then proceeds toward claims about language shaping being itself and institutional gatekeepers suppressing the spiritual implications of this knowledge.

The empirical research cannot support that entire progression.

Neo-Feudal Review

His prose frequently produces the feeling of an explanation before the explanatory work has been completed.

There's also a literary problem: almost everything carries the same existential magnitude. Without changes of scale, even potentially profound observations eventually lose their force.

## One final observation

I find something revealing about the way he describes his own intellectual disposition.

He repeatedly identifies himself as someone whose overriding psychological requirement is coherence, whose central commitment is to face contradictions without consolation, and whose discoveries arise from an unusually demanding encounter with reality.

Those may be sincere descriptions of his experience. But the framework also carries a risk: disagreement can be interpreted as evidence that another person's psychological constitution cannot tolerate the truth he has confronted.

His account of other people's psychological needs therefore needs at least as much scrutiny as his account of his own.

There is a genuine philosophical project buried in all this: how to live ethically in a universe that supplies no evident guarantee of cosmic justice. I think that question deserves serious treatment.

What I find most striking is that he appears to want the epistemic authority of a systematic philosopher while exercising the interpretive freedom of a mythmaker. He has produced an elaborate personal cosmology, but he has yet to demonstrate why someone who doesn't share his psychological needs should believe it describes the world.

That tension may be the most interesting thing about his entire body of work.

Lol mfcr

"My subjective experience represents all of reality. Everything else is unimportant compared to my own inner psychological world. I Am God."

"Uhhhh, but my subjective experience is different than yours. I don't care about any of this stuff that you made up. It's meaningless and useless to me."

"SHUT UP YOU'RE FUCKING STUPID!!!!"

Here's what mine came up with. And before Consuela pops in accusing me of a biased prompt (if he ever resumes activity after the mockery dies down), this is the prompt I used verbatim:

"Consuela posts on substack under @hermesofthethreshold. Also archive all his posts under his substacks, which include https://neofeudalreview.substack.com/, https://neofeudalism.substack.com/, and https://livingopposites.substack.com/about.

After this archive is completed, generate a report about Consuela. Summarize his ideas and opinions, and make conclusions about them (e.g. are they cogent, intelligent, etc). Break the down on subject (e.g. Jung, Politics, Media, etc.)"

If you have a place you'd like me to upload to that doesn't require an email, I will.

They're fun to read because he just drops insane claims casually, as if they are so obvious they require no source or elaboration. For a while he was adamant that Tsarist serfs had more political autonomy and freedom than modern Americans.
