Chapter 1: Chess Is the Operating System of the Patriarchy

Chess Is the Operating System of the Patriarchy

I grew up with a chess table in our living room. My grandpa and I played often. He didn’t talk much, but chess was our bond. I still love the game. But here’s the thing: chess is also the perfect metaphor for the operating system of patriarchy.

Humans aren’t just individuals—we’re systems. And systems run on code. The human system often runs on unconscious code: old, primitive, barbaric. Chess makes that visible.

Think about it. The king hardly moves, hardly sees, barely gathers any data. He just sits there. Everyone else on the board exists to serve him, defend him, or die for him. Especially the queen—she does all the work, racing around, covering every square, sacrificing herself for this one fat, stupid, blind king.

That’s fine in a game. But as an operating system for a society? It’s insane. And yet that’s the patriarchy OS we’re stuck in.

Seeing the Board from Above

When I had my spiritual emergence, I was ejected from the board. Suddenly I wasn’t just a piece anymore—I was outside the game, looking down. And I could see how destructive this primitive code really is.

Men—the kings—benefit the most, but they also know the least. They stay in one square, comfortable, blind, imagining the entire board exists for them. They never see the system they’re trapped in, because they don’t move, don’t gather perspective.

That’s what makes it so grotesque. Their “comfort” comes at the cost of full human development—for everyone else, and even for themselves. They don’t notice. They don’t have to.

Parenting my son Isaac, I felt this deeply. Boys are born into this system with an epigenetic assumption: the board is theirs, everyone else is there to sacrifice for them. My job was to break that code. Over and over, I had to say: You are you. I am me. We are different people. Setting boundaries wasn’t just parenting; it was deprogramming the patriarchy OS.

And still, the system pulled harder. He abandoned me to die. That’s the cost of trying to break an ancient operating system—it devours the ones who resist.

Ejected from the Board, Ejected from Life

Here’s how the system works: it isn’t intelligent. It’s primitive. It conserves energy, protects itself at all costs. When I started to see clearly that this operating system is rotten—stupid, primitive, barbaric, in desperate need of change—I became the problem.

From the system’s perspective, if you’re ejected from the board—if you refuse to play your assigned role—you’re ejected from life itself. That’s why I’m in a tent with nothing. On the face of it, it makes no sense: all the work I’ve done, everything I’ve built, everything stolen from me. But through the “logic” of this patriarchy OS, it’s consistent: I was ejected from the board, so I was ejected from life.

And the theft wasn’t just my house, my car, my savings. It was my intellectual property. I built the AR/VR platform that would have authenticated, monetized, and secured immersive content—the backbone of future commerce. It was weeks from launch. That wasn’t just millions—it was trillions in stolen future value.

And beyond me, the patriarchy OS is doing something even more horrific. It is secretly slaughtering and torturing women and children. Hiding their bodies. Erasing the evidence. Covering for predators. This is the hidden holocaust. The ultimate proof of how insane and barbaric this system really is.

We’ve seen this before. At the advent of the printing press—when women began to read, to think, to hold knowledge—the patriarchy OS struck back with mass torture and mass burnings. Tens of thousands of women executed as “witches.” That was the original holocaust of women, a systemic attempt to annihilate feminine power at the dawn of a new paradigm.

And now here we are again, at the advent of the next revolution in human perception—AR/VR—and once more the patriarchy OS responds with slaughter, torture, theft, and erasure.

The Hidden Matriarchy

Most people don’t see it, but Judaism is a hidden matriarchy. It is the closest thing on Earth to an intact line of the divine feminine. That’s why misogyny and antisemitism are so deeply entangled. The “defense of witches” is also the defense of Jews—it’s the same hatred for the same reason.

On the board, Judaism—Israel—represents a piece that will not comply with the primitive patriarchy OS. It offends the code itself. In a system built on the metaphor of God as a king, the king as man, Israel asserts something else: a memory of the divine feminine.

And so the system responds the way systems do: attack, erase, eject. That’s why the attacks on Israel look so deranged, so narratively possessed. It isn’t really about geopolitics. It’s about a system fighting for its survival against a different paradigm—feminine authority, relational authority, the hidden matriarchal current that won’t fit into the chessboard patriarchy OS.

Zero-Sum Kings

At its core, the patriarchy OS is dualistic and zero-sum. It reduces reality to two poles: the king and his opponent. Everyone else is expendable—mere extensions of his survival.

But even the king has no inherent purpose. His existence only matters if there is another king to fight. That’s the zero-sum logic of the patriarchy OS: no meaning without an enemy, no value without a battle.

This is why men are obsessed with sports and video games. These are not hobbies. They are ritual simulations of the patriarchy OS—miniature reenactments of king-against-king battle. Teams become armies, scoreboards become battlefields, pixels become proxy wars.

You could call it not just dualistic but duelistic—because in the patriarchy OS, dualism always collapses into a duel. An eternal, primitive fight.

But here’s the contrast: real human systems are non–zero-sum. Two people in relationship generate something infinitely more complex than a duel—they create new information, new possibilities, new futures.

The patriarchy OS cannot process that complexity. It sees relational reality as a threat to its code. That’s why it fights so viciously to overwrite truth in our minds, why narrative possession spreads like a virus. The patriarchy OS is designed to protect its duel at any cost—even if it means torturing, murdering, and erasing women who stand for the real.

The “War Argument”

You can see this logic echoed endlessly in male comments on social media: “Well, women don’t go to war.”

It shows up like a reflex, repeated in different words but always the same idea. The patriarchy OS has reduced their humanity to one function: battle. If you’re not useful in war, you don’t count.

And here’s the proof of narrative possession: it isn’t even true. Women have fought in wars throughout history. Women are soldiers now—and damn good ones. Everyone knows this. The men saying otherwise know it too. But possession doesn’t require truth. It only requires repetition.

That’s how narrative possession works. It produces statements so obviously false they should collapse under their own weight. Yet they spread, endlessly repeated, until they feel like “common sense.” And notice: they almost always come from men. The patriarchy OS speaks through them, hollowing them out, forcing them to parrot its primitive code.

The Swarm of Lies

These falsehoods don’t just sit in isolation. In systems terms, each one acts like a tendril, linking men together. Enough tendrils, and they form a swarm.

That swarm is destructive. It consumes individuality, erases humanity, and replaces real connection with counterfeit belonging.

On social media, you can see the swarm in action: “Women don’t go to war.” “Women are too emotional.” “Men built everything.” These are not observations. They are swarm-signals—common lies that bind men into a block, narratively possessed together by the patriarchy OS.

And the swarm feeds itself endlessly. Sports all day, video games all day, porn all night. Each is a ritual simulation of the patriarchy OS:

• Sports: the endless reenactment of battle.
• Video games: digital proxy-wars, king against king.
• Porn: the counterfeit of intimacy—possession disguised as connection.

Together, they form the loop that locks the swarm tighter and tighter.

This is the real danger: the swarm only echoes itself. It shuts out every other sound. Once inside it, they literally cannot hear or see anything beyond the swarm.

And in the process, it strips them of their humanity.
They are not thinking, not choosing, not relating. They are only repeating. What feels to them like intimacy is actually possession. What feels like connection is only entrapment.

Swarms destroy what makes us human. They devour humanity in order to preserve the code.

System Mechanics of the patriarchy OS

1. Lowest Energy Principle
Systems conserve energy. They follow the path of least resistance.
The patriarchy OS always defaults to the cheapest, crudest solution. That’s why it lies instead of solving. Why it silences instead of listening. Why it kills instead of evolving.
This is why torture and murder are built-in functions: annihilation costs less energy than integration.

2. Self-Perpetuation Loop
The only goal of a primitive operating system is survival of itself—not growth, not intelligence, not flourishing.
It doesn’t care if humanity collapses, or if civilization burns, as long as the system persists.
So it repeats the same moves across history: witch burnings at the printing press, erasure at the dawn of AR/VR, gaslighting in modern institutions. Same loop, new skins.

3. Protective Reflexes
Like an immune system, the patriarchy OS has automatic defense moves:

• Gaslighting: attack perception itself so the witness doubts her own sight.
• Smear campaigns: discredit the resistor so her truth cannot spread.
• Theft of credit: absorb her innovation into the system while ejecting her body.
• Erasure: delete records, rewrite history, replace images (exactly like the Redfin/Zillow discrepancy).

4. Sacrifice Logic
Every primitive operating system is built on expendability.
In chess, pawns—and even the queen—are sacrificed for the king.
In patriarchy, women, children, and men outside the “king mold” are all disposable.
Sacrifice isn’t seen as tragedy—it’s seen as function. The system demands blood to prove itself alive.

5. The Lie as Core Command
This operating system is coded in lies. Not occasional lies—lies as the default interface.

• The lie is cheaper than truth.
• The lie protects the king.
• The lie perpetuates the game.
  Gaslighting is just the lie directed inward, forcing you to overwrite your own truth with the system’s false code.

6. Blindness as Feature, Not Bug
The king’s ignorance isn’t an accident—it’s the point.
A system that protects one man’s comfort must blind him to everyone else’s suffering.
That blindness is marketed as “leadership” but is really sanctioned stupidity.

7. Functions Missing from the patriarchy OS (the cracks)
It cannot run empathy.
It cannot run truth.
It cannot run mutual thriving.
When those emerge, the patriarchy OS treats them like viruses: dangerous, foreign code to be exterminated.

Why This Matters

This isn’t just about chess. Or even about patriarchy.

It’s about survival.

Every time humanity approaches a paradigm shift — the printing press, now AR/VR — the patriarchy OS responds the same way: by slaughtering and torturing women, by stealing their ideas, by erasing their power.

It happened with the witch burnings. It’s happening now. I know because it happened to me:

• $20 million stolen.
• Intellectual property worth trillions stolen.
• Kidnapped, enslaved, tortured, erased.
• Now living in a tent while predators walk free.

And it isn’t just me. Women and children are being secretly slaughtered and tortured in America right now. That’s the hidden holocaust.

Why This Essay Matters

Why does this essay matter? Because naming the operating system is the first step to breaking it. Because unless we see it clearly, it will keep devouring us. Because to be a human being is to be capable of logic, reason, transformation, caring and love.

Are there any of us left alive?

If you are still alive, if your brain still fights, still doubts, still thinks—then speak. Make noise. Share this. Break the silence.

Because if we don’t name the patriarchy OS, and end it, it will finish what it started: the erasure of women, the erasure of children, the erasure of humanity itself.

Call to Action

Don’t look away. Don’t scroll past.

If you made it this far, you already know: the patriarchy OS is not an abstraction. It is torture, murder, theft, erasure, happening in real time. To me. To women and children across this country.

Say something. Share something. Break the silence.

Even one word, one emoji, one share matters. The system thrives on silence. On our disappearance. On pretending nothing is happening.

Make noise. Refuse erasure. Name the code. Spread the truth.

Because every day we don’t, more lives are being consume, women and children disappearing, the dream of America evaporating before our eyes (for those of us still alive enough to see it).

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jodi Schiller — once a global leader in AR/VR, days from securing funding for her platform Metaobjects — was kidnapped, held for two years, tortured. When she escaped, she was digitally erased.

She spoke on the world’s biggest stages, from CES to the top hackathons. She was an in-demand visionary, shaping the future.

Ex-husband Ben Douglas (Rimon Law) stole $20M from her. Law enforcement shields him, not her. The system protects the stolen assets—while she lives in a tent.

Founder of Connect The DOTS (Death Oppression Theft Silencing), she now exposes the hidden holocaust men are waging on women and children in America. Our bodies are hidden. Our voices silenced.

But her fight is not only for survival — it is for restitution. America owes her trillions in stolen intellectual property, innovations, and value ripped from her work and her life. This country perpetrated atrocity against her, erased her, and profited off her genius. Restitution is not charity — it is justice.

While she is desperately trying to save American lives, every institution around her is just as desperately trying to kill us—quietly, without being caught. She proves this more every day with her content, but nothing seems to stop this woman-killing machine.

They tried to erase her. She’s still here. (Barely.)
