Imagine believing this clown is actually a genuine creator of anything as opposed to a low-grade actor who merely follows the script written for him, whereby he pretends to pursue absurd endeavors and wild fantasies.

So this is how society will split, like H.G. Wells Eloi and Morlock from The Time Machine. The normies will live secure, sheltered, regimented lives inside walled technocratic city states, while off in the distance a free-range juggalo sips his Faygo rock n' rye. Tastes like freedom.

Good breakdown, thank you. I was 100% onboard the global warming hysteria train since middle school (mid 90's) until it magically became the only socially acceptable opinion sometime in the last decade or so. I recently made the faux pas of hinting at my growing skepticism to my arm-chair liberal friends/family and might as well have clubbed a baby seal with a plutonium swastika... yet I'm the only one of the bunch who commutes to work on a bicycle.

They absolutely make traffic less safe. My city has a ridiculous and growing number of red light and photo-radar cameras. Now, the instant a light turns yellow people slam on their brakes. Good times for tow companies and body shops though, and the private (out of state) companies who sell and operate the cameras and radar vans.

I just returned from a week drinking ayahuasca with a bunch of beautiful hippies in the Ecuadorian Andes. At one point in the afterglow of a very powerful ceremony, a young apprentice Shaman played a cover of this on an old Spanish guitar, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since... and I don't want to. Happy Easter everybody.

This is a really, really good read. Scratch that, this is really good journalism. Maybe the most insightful thing I've ever come across on r/conspiracy, and from a mod no less. Definitely deserves a cross-post to s/conspiracy. I'm a little suspicious that it hasn't been memory-holed though.

DrStrangelove · 2019-02-27T05:12:39+00:00

Wow, actually worse than I thought. I really hope this scandal/movement becomes a force for good and not an excuse for more evil.

DrStrangelove · 2019-02-27T01:01:26+00:00

But why now? This has been going on for years, Elsagate anyone? This particular outrage is a decade too late and obviously manufactured.

Multiple life sentences for running a website :/ All of his convictions were for non-violent crimes. If it weren't for the war on drugs and the threat of crypto he might be palin' around with Bezos and Zuckerberg. Meanwhile big pharma continues to rake in billions from the completely legal and arguably engineered opioid epidemic. What's the opposite of a justice boner?

DrStrangelove · 2019-02-21T04:18:03+00:00

Legit, it's even in his wikipedia:

In 1951, along with many other Ivy League alumni, Buckley was recruited into the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA); he served for two years, including one year in Mexico City working on political action for E. Howard Hunt;[23] who was later jailed for his part in the Watergate affair. The two officers remained lifelong friends.[24] In a November 1, 2005, column for National Review, Buckley recounted that while he worked for the CIA, the only employee of the organization that he knew was Hunt, his immediate boss.

But as they say, once a company man...

*edit: He might have been a stooge within the CIA, as in rich kids playing spy

DrStrangelove · 2019-02-21T01:34:57+00:00

What a time to be alive.

side note: William F Buckley was CIA... and so is 4chan (probably)

Totally not related, probably: China just re-sentenced a Canadian citizen to death after appealing a 15 year prison sentence for drug smuggling.

Robert Lloyd Schellenberg was given a 15-year jail term in November but, on Monday, a court said the sentence for drug smuggling was too lenient.

Has she ever taken a position on 1A, freedom of speech, and internet censorship? I've searched but have found nothing relevant. That singular issue is my personal litmus test. I want to like her, but I'm suspicious of my own inclinations. In interviews she comes off as naive but passionate, which isn't the end of the world, maybe even the perfect way to start a political career. My worst fear is that her current rising star is a media charade, designed to capture and steer the Bernie wing back to the corporate democrats.

"Fuller used a portmanteau of the words dynamic, maximum, and tension to arrive at the term Dymaxion."

The Dymaxion car and Dymaxion house.

The car had 3 wheels, a top speed of 128mph, and 36mpg fuel efficiency. Plus, it looked like an art-deco rocket ship. The house was a modular, pre-fab, energy efficient tensile structure designed for mass production based on war effort aircraft manufacturing.

Fuller was way ahead of his time and a hero of 20th century innovation in service of humanity. Buckminster is also a great middle name.

DrStrangelove · 2019-01-14T02:06:17+00:00

THC is by far my favorite podcast, and this episode is REALLY out-there in the best way possible. I've always considered the "Mandela effect" a pretty lazy theory exploiting the weakness of human memory in the face of the information age, but this one kinda made me rethink my assumptions. Were Terence Mckenna and the Mayan calendar on to something? Is CERN in on it? Are we all in a simulation or just me? Not saying any of this is real, but I can't recall ever hearing about the Maned Wolf, Moon Museum, or Rainbow Mountains of China until today.

DrStrangelove · 2018-12-10T04:45:35+00:00

Yikes, I had no idea Saidit utilized patreon until I saw your comment. To be honest my immediate, admittedly paranoid reaction was to delete the post out of concern for the site. Then, I didn't. That my first thought was to self-censor out of fear of reprisal precisely exemplifies the chilling effect that online censorship and deplatforming is having on public discourse. I love Saidit. What you and D3rr have created is awesome. It is, in my humble opinion, a bright shining beacon of hope for what the internet was supposed to be. Bitcoins are on the way.

Also FWIW, may I suggest looking into subscribestar? I know nothing about them other than a number of alt. media content creators have moved to them recently as an alternative fundraising platform.

Oh man, someone should develop a K.I.T.T Tesla upgrade. A red LED strip for the front bumper and a software patch with William Daniels voice for navigation and snarky quips. Aaaaaand nevermind, someone did it 10 years ago.

On to my next million dollar idea: an 80's style PSA to play on the dashboard infotainment center while you're auto-driven off to the precinct.

"So, you're being arrested!"

These are your Miranda Rights, followed by paid advertisements for local attorneys. Your arrest is being recorded & livestreamed in accordance with your automakers' TOS

This is consistent with a new theory of consciousness being advocated by physicist Sir Roger Penrose and Dr. Stuart Hameroff. Penrose and Hameroff suggest that consciousness is something applied to the brain, not generated by it.

Came to the comments to mention Hammeroff. He's an anesthesiologist who thinks consciousness arises out of the quantum states of microtubules within the neuron. Basically, the brain is more a quantum antenna than a computer. Really fascinating stuff, and interesting that it comes from a guy who's an expert in turning consciousness off (and hopefully back on again).

Oregon Public Broadcasting did a short segment on the Polybius arcade story about a year ago. I'll link if I can find it. Their conclusion was it had been a total urban legend, but that's exactly what THEY would want you to think isn't it? Some claim there is still a ROM of the game floating around somewhere on the dark web.

I'm typing this on an old macbook pro running linux. I'm not aware of face id being required for anything yet, but that is definitely the direction apple (and everyone else) is going. If you are familiar with macOS I would recommend trying out Ubuntu.

It's pretty easy to create a live dvd or make a bootable USB drive and give linux a test drive without making any permanent changes to your computer.

If you decide you really like linux you can install it fully from the live dvd or usb drive.

No need to swap hard drives, but that's pretty easy too. All you need is a phillips head screwdriver (and maybe a torx driver). ifixit.com has tons of crowd sourced instructions and how-to videos.

Fun Facts: Hawkins and his band got black-out drunk while recording the original version of the song, which was subsequently banned from radio airplay for being too raw and overtly sexual (for 1950's America). It was later covered (often making the billboard top 100) by Nina Simone, Credence Clearwater Revival, Marilyn Manson, and sampled by Notorious BIG and LL Cool J among others. "I Put a Spell on You" is currently used as theme music for a number of Disney attractions.

This came on the radio yesterday, like it has pretty much everyday for almost 20 years, but I got an unusually strong hit of 90's nostalgia from it. I remembered hearing it for the first time at an H&M records store while on vacation in downtown Chicago, playing over the PA. I realized I knew almost all the words, but had never really payed any attention to them at all.
