Adam Curtis owns just because he sifts through an amazing amount of material that would never be seen without him. "Goodwin spends weeks with a bank of six laptops and six tape machines collecting it all – and then brings it back and gives it to Curtis in plastic lunch boxes full of small computer drives. “So for example I have everything the BBC has ever shot for 60 years in Russia sitting on 58 terabytes of drives,” he says. “Phil is doing China next. Then Egypt. Vietnam. And then we are doing Africa. I aim eventually to have the last 50 years of unedited material. I could do an emotional history of the world.”

Prelude: John Constantine Explains Magic    Got it? Fairies at the Bottom of the Garden: Wallowing in the Black Mud of Superstition  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZNrxn5niyg You're bored at work, so you open up a netflix tab and start watching an episode of Neil DeG's Cosmos. That makes you even more bored, so you que up a random episode of your favorite podcast. To your shock, the host immediately starts on a rant about how terrible the new Cosmos is. That's Synchronicity. Causality working backwards. You got the idea to watch Cosmos from the podcast, a half hour before you'd even listened to it. Space-time as a flat circle. Tralfamadorians. Interstellar. Waves and radiation. Or maybe, coincidence. Synchronicity is like lucid dreaming, in that it's really loving weird, and in that it happens to everyone from time-to-time. "Selective attention," your scientific-establishment worshiping friends might say, but they don't know the half of it. Because, like with lucid dreaming, you can also train yourself to make it happen all the time. I've already lost some of you, maybe most, but perhaps you're one of the people that have been so shaken up by the fact that Donald loving Trump just became the loving president of the United States that you're willing to admit that the universe may be far weirder than the authority figures in your life ever allowed you to believe. Trust me when I say that losing your bearings is potentially the best thing that ever happened to you. Let go of your preconceived notions, take some peyote, and come out into the jungle to run with the wolves. Step One: Think about Sychronicities It's been known since the time of Jung that to activate whatever force is responsible for sychronicities, the most important step to activate it is simply to start investigating them.  Once you start walking down this road, you'll start seeing results. The Cosmic Coincidence Control Agents, as Dr. Lily (guy who did the isolation tank acid experiments (like in Stranger Things)) will start interfering in your life. It'll scare you. Step Two: Engage With Information-Rich Sources Throughout Your Day This logos, VALIS, Zebra, thing, whatever it is, seems to live within information. Since humans are themselves living information, this makes a certain degree of sense. So, basically, add as much information as you can into your day. Anything word-y is great. I find podcasts work well; Uhh Yeah Dude is a particularly good listen for tuning into strange cosmic vibrations. Step Three: Don't Watch Porn or Do Opiates Please don't ask me to explain why. I don't really know. A working theory is that these things just numb you to whatever frequency sychronicities work on. Perhaps that explains the proliferation of internet porn; "they" are trying to zone the population out so that we can no longer access the bicameral voice that could lead us out of Westworld. Step Four: Read a Book By Candlelight Before Bed Preferably something mystic. My suggestions would be Cosmic Trigger I: The Final Secret of the Illuminanti by Robert Anton Wilson The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick by pkd The Fragile Absolute by Slavoj Žižek but really, it can be anything non-fiction that deals in the etheral realm of ideas. Step Five: Report Your Sychronicities ITT Telling people about sychronicities is often like telling them about dreams; no one really cares and they're never as meaningful to others as they are to the person that experienced them. However, this thread is a mystics' safe-space, and I'd love to see how synchronistic weirdness is beginning to pile up in our fragmenting post-reality world. So again, Step One: Think about Sychronicities Step Two: Engage With Information-Rich Sources Throughout Your Day Step Three: Don't Watch Porn or Do Opiates Step Four: Read a Book By Candlelight Before Bed Step Five: Report Your Sychronicities ITT Crazy? Sure. But then again, FabioClone posted:It's easy to make fun of this, but if you can believe in it there is a chance it will give you reality-warping superpowers. So what have you got to lose?

Personal Providence. There is a certain climax in life, at which, notwithstanding all our freedom, and however much we may have denied all directing reason and goodness in the beautiful chaos of existence, we are once more in great danger of intellectual bondage, and have to face our hardest test. For now the thought of a personal Providence first presents itself before us with its most persuasive force, and has the best of advocates, apparentness, in its favour, now when it is obvious that all and everything that happens to us always turns out for the best. The life of every day and of every hour seems to be anxious for nothing else but always to prove this proposition anew; let it be what it will, bad or good weather, the loss of a friend, a sickness, a calumny, the non receipt of a letter, the spraining of one's foot, a glance into a shop window, a counter argument, the opening of a book, a dream, a deception: it shows itself immediately, or very soon afterwards, as something "not permitted to be absent," it is full of profound significance and utility precisely for us! Is there a more dangerous temptation to rid ourselves of the belief in the Gods of Epicurus, those careless, unknown Gods, and believe in some anxious and mean Divinity, who knows personally every little hair on our heads, and feels no disgust in rendering the most wretched services? Well I mean in spite of all this! we want to leave the Gods alone (and the serviceable genii likewise), and wish to content ourselves with the assumption that our own practical and theoretical skilfulness in explaining and suitably arranging events has now reached its highest point. We do not want either to think too highly of this dexterity of our wisdom, when the wonderful harmony which results from playing on our instrument sometimes surprises us too much: a harmony which sounds too well for us to dare to ascribe it to ourselves. In fact, now and then there is one who plays with us beloved Chance: he leads our hand occasionally, and even the all wisest Providence could not devise any finer music than that of which our foolish hand is then capable.

Trumps Baby Hands posted:That should cause you to ask something like, "Wait, are you saying that... I don't know, the moon doesn't exist unless someone is looking at it?" consider that the sun and moon, in order for the moon to even be visible to a conscious human, must as quantum systems observe and be observed so that light from the sun can reflect from it and hit your idiot face, and so the moon and earth itself dont fly off into space and get owned, what im saying is all quantum systems observe quantum systems and there is not a requirement that one of the quantum systems be a human brain. maybe if donald trump was a cylinder of beryllium atoms in a vacuum chamber being pulsed by lasers and radio waves he could be quantum hacked by putin, not in this reality tunnel.

everybody always knew it was impossible to imagine a future beyond neoliberalism. the left hopelessly pressed the brakes, and the radicals desperately pulled the emergency brake. coming quick through the rear view mirror, the heartland subalterns blew it wide open. already seeking an exit through opiates, their Death Drive called for mass collective suicide. if they're to die, why shouldn't the others? the racists cried for escape by shooting through their neighbors. they thought their suicide plan was a quick shotgun to society's head. but they were mistaken. the neofascist regime means hermetically-sealed borders, mass public prisons and black-site prisons, concentration camps, armorized police, an alienation beyond our nightmares. the dreamers' deaths won't be collective, they will be alone. a slow suffocation. a plastic bag over the head. the woke can now see the future plain as day. they know their's a choice: collective death or individual suffocation? the woke know they're going to die. and nobody fights harder than a dead man walking.

The Principia Discordia came up in the day crew/nightcrew thread, so I wanted to make brief mention of it here since that thread moves faster than lightning from Eros' choas vagina:Flesh Forge posted:Principia Discordia turned out to be an instruction manual Darkman Fanpage posted:this religion seems like a good fit for me. Trumps Baby Hands posted:tragically it faded away because they could never quite figure out if they were a joke disguised as a religion or a religion disguised as a joke Darkman Fanpage posted:im okay with ambiguity. Anyone else who is okaywith ambiguity or is interested in historical attempts to program reality owes it to themselves to give the principia a read: http://www.principiadiscordia.com/downloads/Principia%20Discordia.pdf The introductions are especially enlightening quote:If organized religion is the opium of the masses, then disorganized religion is the marijuana of the lunatic fringe. Most disorganized of all religions, Discordianism alone understands that organization is the work of the Devil. Holy Chaos is the Natural Condition of Reality, contrary to popular belief. Theologians cite Order in the Universe as proof of a Supreme Intelligence, but a glance is enough to see that the stars are not actually in neat little rows. (Oh, sure, there is the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper - but if they were really connect-the-dot drawings there would be numbers next to the stars.) Theology is just a debate over who to frame for creating reality. What we imagine is order is merely the prevailing form of chaos. The Discordians were forged in the watergate era, where the American populace at large learned what all fringe movements had known for centuries: that their government hated them and wanted them dead. Made up of sci-fi writers and other bay-area lunatics, the Discordians understood something that everyone on these forms really, really needs to internalize: The only viable weapon against tyranny in the modern age is Absurdity. The people trying to organize against Trump via political means are doomed to failure. We must disorganize against Trump. The goal of the Discordians was to introduce enough absurdity into the cultural consciousness that people would begin to wake up to the fact that their reality was merely a concensus, a construction, just one amoung many possible iterations. Just by winning, Trump has already made reality absurd. John Oliver is right about one thing: we can't let that be normalized. However, we can never let Hillary and her ilk be normalized again either. We must completely de-normalize all of history, so that we can build something completely new and never before seen.

yep, absurdism isn't the weapon we're looking for. see: surrealism. also: situationism and the counter-culture, coopted by capitalism and sold back to us absurdism was a fine escape from reality, but some dreamers have awakened to what they see as an absurd reality i propose collective sincerity to counter collective nihilism. counter the lies from above with the truth of our lives. find each other.

if this is all true it's the most direct and honest expression of collective will possible with all the 'oh god i didn't ask for this' and the fear of facing your most base but sincere and quite likely repressed desires in the form of Trump and kek and maybe is a sign we're growing up

Fargo Fukes posted:If any of this stuff actually worked as true meme magic rather than regular symbology then surely we'd be seventy or so years deep into the thousand-year Reich by now? The swastika was and remains one of the most powerful symbols on earth, and at its height it motivated one of the largest cults of wild-eyed true-believers in history. And it wasn't defeated by a counter symbol, whether the starts-and-stripes or the hammer-and-sickle, but through the day by day movement of guns and butter and the slow work of heavy industry. If meme magic allows us to select and control our reality, why are so many cults of meme magicians defeated by boring old policework and uninspiring state bureaucracy? All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away; all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life and his relations with his kind.
