Was in a tornado that tore the roof up and collapsed the building I was in. It’s a miracle I survived. If I wouldn’t have dove into the doorway the walls would have crushed me.
It does, in fact, sound exactly like a train barreling through your living room.
Same! It turned me on to the whole modern, urban, fantasy genre which is often more compelling due to being able to relate to the settings.
Robert Anton Wilson had a certain genius for distilling so many slivers of truth embedded in conspiracy, paradigms, altered states of consciousness, personal and group psychology, systems, etc. After theTrilogy I readPrometheus Rising and that book blew my young little mind.
Currently bed rotting, can relate
Of course. Glad you found something that worked out for you
What was your niche specialty?
Just posting stupid shit so-and-so says sounds like engagement bait. Waste of time.
Don’t count your drugs over the toilet.
You’re not wrong but you’re wasting your breath. Every generation has a small group that figures this out and no matter how much they change their own lives, no matter how they try to get the word out, or get involved in activism, or literally anything at all, the masses will not budge. The people are incapable of saving themselves or making substantial changes in their lives without external pressures on them. People you know and like and share your opinion will nod and agree and pontificate from the comfort of their armchairs, but as long as they have even a sliver of comfort and convenience and entertainment they will not change anything about their lives at all. But they sure will get online and bitch all day. The best you can do is either move out of the country or gather like minded friends and family and live on a commune.
Yeah, but states and feds have always been tracking left wing groups. The FBI has files on tens of thousands of people associated with leftist groups and have been surveiling them for decades. It’s only news because this one person is publicly doing it.
Maybe, but only in the sense that reddit collapses in on itself in a decade from mass enshitification and is replaced by the next big capital backed platform.
Unless there is a shift in the world away from corporatism, which would be fundamentally an embracement of a new socio-economic paradigm, open-source will remain at the fringes. At the moment the attention of the masses is fully captured and the corridors of information are under increasing control.
Wow, neat! Thanks for the explanation
How do you do that?
That was a wild ride.
I just had a great mental picture of some scientists chasing down and tackling a wild dog to try and shampoo it.
While there is much evidence of foreign involvement I have no doubt there was intense fuckery on the American side going on. Collusion, in fact. There’s just too many ‘coincidences’ and random things.
The official narrative is wrong and wrong on purpose. The true story will probably never be known.
Yeah, he’s a real person. He wrote the 48 Laws of Power, one on Seduction, one on Strategy. Another on careers.
If you’re willing to take all his works with a helping of salt it’s pretty entertaining.
Don’t bother, there’s nothing there to get closure on.
He wanted to screw on the first date and when that didn’t happen he immediately moved on to the next prospect. He’s not looking for anything but booty.
Don’t waste your time.
I don’t ascribe to those particular metrics.
