I was kinda interested in finding out what kind of deranged mind comes up with this poo poo and still calls it science, so I googled that organisation.

Turns out, it's a cult. It's led by some guy they consider a saint, and whenever they talk about him, the pronouns are capitalized, like "He".

Stuff they believe:
- 'Spiritual science' is just as valid as modern science. But modern science is worthless because it's only about the physical world and doesn't help us after death.
- Quote:

quote:

When one wants to research the subtle-world, one cannot use conventional measurement and analysis tools. Just as we cannot use a measuring tape to measure one’s intellect, so also we cannot use physical, psychological or intellectual methods to understand or explore the spiritual realm. This is because of the simple reason that by definition the spiritual dimension is that, which is beyond the understanding of the five senses, mind and intellect.
- So, how then do you do 'spiritual science'? Why, that's simple. You just have to follow a training by one of their gurus, they will teach you how to talk to god/"universal mind", and once you know how to do that, you can ask him any question and the correct answer will pop up in your mind in seconds. Don't worry about the needlessly complex scientific method them regular scientists came up with. And it's true research because you learn 100% accurate facts by using this method. It's beyond the understanding of intellect so don't question it.

Some more stuff from their site:

The best part is, these graphs are better at conveying the information they're trying to give than a lot of the actual serious graphs about real things posted in this thread. Like, "understanding how a pie chart works" is the low bar we're working with here.

I love this one. Reminds me of the time our corporate overlords produced a song and dance number set to Jay-Z's New York about their corporate values, and the main value was "Profit Driven". It had a lot of old middle aged white men dancing badly in suits, and a mascot of the corporate emblem. Steve Carell's Michael Scott would have been proud.

But at least it was honest I guess.

I got a letter from the government the other day
opened it, read it
it said they was bitches




There's way more to it than that.













It's always the same kind of screwup too, you get one word right but slap the ending of it onto the other one.

There's something about the act of making a sign that does this to people. Painting the big letters takes way longer than writing so if you let yourself get distracted you'll go into the same autopilot, except it fucks up and crashes.

One time in high school my friend had some shirt, I can't even remember what it was exactly , but it was some political thing with two dudes running for office. He wanted me to write "BOTH SUCK" on it in big black letters, so I obliged.

He ran around the rest of the day getting mocked with a shirt that had "BOLTH SUCK" on it. No idea what happened. I just shorted out drawing it on there I guess.
