Oh, just a rhetorical question: Did any of you (the posters reading this) ever hear that story about the one internet forum where it was just one person maintaining extensive conversations with himself utilizing like 30-40 accounts for nearly a decade? Imagine if he'd done that outside of his own walled garden and all over the internet, instead. What would that look like?

We won't know till we find out! I sorta hope so, but I don't think I'm at that stage yet. I I don't continue this thread, please begin your investigations into my organization / The Diamond Dogs here:

The moreinfo.png image contains a series of links, which link to threads that provide further context, which link to threads that provide further context, eventually wrapping all the way back, through this thread, to the "diamond dog" thread. The 2016 8ch stuff is a little rough because of, uh the nature of that board at the time, but it's the most interesting part, to me. Lots of puzzle pieces click together there.

this just looks like a mentally ill person ascribing nonsensical webs of sinister intentionality to whatever events, pop culture ephemera, and natural phenomena they personally happen to find significant, op

granted, they're an unusually erudite, self-aware, and articulate mentally ill person, with some rather richly conceived and novel thinking, but
what makes you think 80% of this is right?
which 80%?


I'd give him the thing about the birds, that's interesting and basically is just describing memetics

the thing about media desensitization is interesting but I don't think that it holds water because there's just, a loving big differnce between fight club and budd dwyer. if anything, media savvy seems to increase awareness of the brutality of real world violence as it becomes increasingly artificial and surreal. no amount of michael bay movies will ever make you watch the police crack that old man's skull open on the sidewalk and think it's super cool

the thing about all algorithms being numbers is technically true- anything turing-computable can be represented as a string of 1's and 0's, and due to the way binary numbering works any possible string of 1's and 0's will be contained in the set of all natural numbers. hence, the existence of numbers alone contains every possible computer program for every possible turing complete operating system. that's loving interesting
BUT
I assume it's not an original thought of his, because if you have a basic understanding of automata theory then you also know that not everything is turing computable
that's a pretty tremendous oversight! the idea that life or anything in reality can truly be represented with an algorithm is a huge, unproven assumption that contradicts everything we know about computability

everything he says is riddled with thinking errors like this
like schizophrenia actually being concentrated, directed blasts of light or sound- they have to travel, dude! there's going to be atmospheric interference and they're going to be detectable by any receiver, not just human senses. that's simply not how physics works. are all second year physics students lying on behalf of the cia, or is it just that no one has ever thought to look or accidentally noticed them?
or the assumption that because we can loosely read brainwaves from the visual cortex, we can also write to them by "reversing it", which is like saying you can change someone's blood pressure by running a blood pressure monitor in reverse
or the complete misunderstanding of how digital video works and interpreting compression artifacts as people having "different faces" and poo poo

other stuff, like all previous crazy people on the forums actually being cointelpro, and anybody who thinks "metal gear mysteries" are stupid is actually a sleeper agent, are disappointingly the typical kind of unfalsifiable excuses schizophrenics and the like use to protect their delusions from questioning. of course you sound crazy- the idea craziness was invented so people wouldn't believe you! of course when you say this stuff, people start poking holes in it and making fun of you- they're in on it!

it'd be easy to mock the deranged nonsense about joe rogan being pregnant and the model who played quiet actually being anita sarkeesian and the audience at the spike tv game awards being a hologram and his plain, completely unremarkable carpet supposedly having a fractal pattern of japanese characters hidden in it and whatever episodes of black mirror and regular show he happened to catch that day also being part of the pattern and a chvrches song containing lines directly addressed to him
so I won't so that
but man it'd be pretty easy

but if I'm wrong, I hope they didn't get "Freddy Got Fingered" in their "detachable room" next to a driveway, whatever the gently caress that means

This 80% (sorry, the following text screenshot includes a homophobic slur but it was a poster on 8chan in 2016 who we have yet to conclusively identify):



I would very much like to get my hands on these chat logs. Later, in the thread, that poster starts to get concerned that their house might be EMP'd but claims to have many redundant backups. I think they're probably still out there somewhere, but we'd have to identify the poster first. We have a couple guesses, but just sending an email with like "Do you still have the chat logs?" to a hand full of people might, uh, spook them.

Nope, we are actually different people. Mods can check if they'd like. I used to post under a different account but for privacy reasons I gave it away to a friend and then spent the necessary money on forums upgrades to pay back the forums for not driving another new registration. Believe it or not, my actual work is somewhat sensitive and I've been brutally doxed before so I take somewhat, uh, unorthodox precautions to avoid a repeat.

A synthetic memetic/antimemetic fusion superweapon to surpass Metal Gear, to be more precise. The memetic equivalent of the Manhattan project if after the Trinity test they'd discovered that the bomb was actually capable of destroying the planet and then they, uh, just kept using it like in Ender's Game.
