STRAIGHT TROPIN'

How I learned to heal and evolve (and ignore the globalist insider elite):

We can easily prove the existence of a globally dominant cabal/alliance, which is a small number of people that could be described as: above the US President, so everyone else who may be furthering their agenda is merely a front man (e.g. the President) or a useful idiot.

Everything is significantly more toxic than it would be without their plays, perversions, and pollutions--their manipulations and misdirections--their corruptions and psyops ...

They are afraid of us. They are not bullet proof. They do not have superpowers, and they often fail and make mistakes. Their only power is thousands of years of hiding and manipulating from the shadows, so we must shine a light on them and walk away--as if they were cockroaches ... or vampires.

We don't have to know who they are. We just have to know of their existence and their agenda to manipulate us into disliking, distrusting, and distancing each other, which they do so that we are looking at each other instead of looking at them, and so that we cannot unite against them.

Do not fear them, but pity them instead. They are the sickest among us. They have lost their way and are in a bad place, but that is temporary. It is not who they really are, and not who they really want to be.

Like the rest of us, who have also lost our way, it is within their power to instantly find their way again. Everyone is redeemable--even the players.

We must walk away and work on ourselves. The real battlefield is inside each of us.

As a critical mass among us become the best version of ourselves, their plays will falter more often, and over time, they will heal with us, and a golden age will reign for as long as we remain vigilant.

Wikipedia posted:

The group's name, BTS, stands for the Korean expression Bangtan Sonyeondan (Korean: 방탄소년단; Hanja: 防彈少年團), literally meaning "Bulletproof Boy Scouts".

Which is a pretty good name in English too.

Surely a p-zombie would not have the concept of self awareness and thus would not be able to accurately describe the cessation of that concept? If they could they wouldn't have done it.

One passage early in The Handmaid’s Tale describes “a red hexagon that means ‘Stop’”.

Stop signs on planet Earth in 2020 are, of course, octagons.

Maybe Gilead really does use hexagons, either as a conscious choice or because the shape is traditional in their mirror universe .

Maybe the narrator doesn’t know her shapes.

Maybe Atwood made a mistake and it’s slipped past every editor and into the latest editions.

There are places online that quote this passage, and no one seems to notice the oddity of a hexagonal stop sign. It’s the last one.

Yeah, the odds of me noticing that while reading are pretty close to zero.

That's OUR word, mods??

Anyway philosophy zombies are a thought experiment in cognitive science of a thinking being with no inner sense of self. It's catchy premise and ease of thinking about it*, much like the trolley problem, has seen it leak into common knowlage. It's become a little bit of nerd trivia, and this nerd in question thinks it's something you can just do for some dumb reason. You'd need to scoop out at least like a teaspoon full of brain to do it for real.

* much like intersectionality and bodies/spaces stuff, a lot of people think the understand the term and the people who would correct them are too busy applying for grants and drinking.

They're not saying it's something you can actually do. "Given" here means something like "If X condition obtains"

Someone coming into the thread shouldn't need special knowledge

Late reply but w/e: this very forum has probably load-bearing code that autobans you if you use the wrong thread tag and that is seen as a feature. It was also one of the things Jeff Atwood complained about when he wanted to convince Lowtax to move everything to Discourse (not to be confused with Discord and it probably would have been a good idea to take him up on that offer in hindsight if only for the monthly server bill reduction).

That is special knowledge you need to use the forum. Special knowledge about who’s who in a thread is small potatoes imo.

LoB stares in the abyss so we don’t have to but tbh I’d like it better if the text was a screenshot.
