Neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes says Trump-Epstein connection is no-brainer 😂
-
-
Here's a timeline:
-
I thought of that, but I don't think Trump would risk this amount of reputation damage when there are other viable paths for market manipulation. Not impossible, but seems unlikely. It was reported 7 hours ago that Tesla lost 152 billion in market cap after Trump responded to something Elon said. Hours later, Musk is dropping the Epstein bomb.

Trump wanted to shoot protestors in the legs who were blocking his path to a photo op. He's probably trying to find a way to drone strike Elon's ass right now.

I'm an intuitive. It's really quite baffling to witness it. It's as if 20 variables and their implications are being processed in the background and when the process is finished, which is often in milliseconds, the final result exists as a single, formless knowing, with no symbol to represent it, and I have no idea how I know, but I just know. Over time, as it develops, if you have high metacognition, you get good at knowing when the results are incomplete or totally accurate. It can be frustrating to know something but not know the logical pieces that construct the knowing. Also, I've felt like an intellectual fraud (not that I'm an intellectual) because I don't sit down and work my ass off in collecting knowledge piece by piece. I just observe what grabs my attention and somehow, much understanding seems to be just handed to me on a silver platter. Of course, I have a high NFC and am always collecting information, but I don't work to organize any of it. I don't take notes for study. It all just goes into the brain bucket. Figuring out how I know things becomes an interesting puzzle that requires decoding the things intuition serves up, but it's a task to figure it out. I have to leave my default world of wide-gazed perception and engage my Te (extraverted thinking), but before I do that, I ask my intuition where the intuition came from, then run the answer through the Te filter until I'm satisfied, then add the result back to the database for further intuition. My working memory isn't the best when I'm engaged in linear thought but there seems to be a subconscious memory that tracks all the things. I ahve high pattern recognition of knowing where I've been before, so I think that has something to do with it. Also, I think it takes an intuitive to know one. I don't think you can really know what it's like if you don't have it as your default mode of operation. Like you said, even for those who do have it as their default likely don't understand it. It's a really interesting phenomenon. I've been learning a lot about it lately.

Jesus, he named his super computer “Colossus” after a fictional super computer that took over the world. What a goddamn freak. Been saying it for years. If you can’t see Elon’s true colors are that of an APEX predator and not a benevolent philanthropist… massive fail.

Well, give me something to chew on. I won't pester you about it. It seems to me that cowardice and conformity are the main forces that keep highly cognitive people stuck in the shallows, too afraid or too conformist to swim in the deep. I'd love to add to my understanding.

this cracked me up:
-
Cowardice + inertia.

I've found that cognitive development is like a muscle. It develops when you exercise it. If you were lucky to have circumstances that triggered in you a high Need-for-Cognition, then you will instinctually exercise it. If not, you will avoid exercising it. This seems so simple but it's the answer to many questions I've had regarding the humans. Some people are completely turned off by thinking. To them, it's boring, makes little sense, feels like work, etc. As a result, they don't develop. Whoever loves thinking (high NFC), is basically just blessed ...or cursed, depending on who you ask.

A wave of glaze is on the horizon.

A sort of complete, universal, scientific wiki could be useful as a reference but the vast majority of it would need to be excluded from nearly every endeavor except for riding high on the beauty of knowledge itself. The best designs have clearly defined, purposeful constraints that intentionally exclude all that is superfluous. This is why science can make progress without knowing the whole. Different endeavors require different knowledge sets. Farting ants may be fundamental to worm hole travel but not submarine design. In other words, metaphysics MIGHT be instrumental to next-level science, but so far, a lot has been accomplished without it.

Musk put on a show for years that everything he was doing, he was doing for humanity. At this point, you should be able to call that bs regardless the stories he tells himself. What one is actually driven by and what one claims to be driven by is more often than not, not the same. Elon says he has so many children because he’s worried about population collapse. Lol. Elon fucks for humanity bro. Just pure benevolence. -
Joshe replied to Xonas Pitfall's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
He sometimes misses the very obvious. He thought Elon Musk selflessly cared about humanity up until Trump’s election. Lol. -

Bro, this is the whacked out SJW, which might be like 2% of the population. -
Joshe replied to Xonas Pitfall's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
That's because they comprise a very small percentage of the population, yet we spend 50% or more of our political discussion bandwidth on them. -
Joshe replied to Xonas Pitfall's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
True. That's a big one. It's universal though. It brings people into the fold who aren't necessarily ideologically aligned but embrace the ideology anyway just to belong to a group. This is also the dominant factor in the recent movement of youngsters embracing MAGA. -

@SwiftQuill Have you ever tried to do demographic breakdowns of the entire U.S population? If you think about all the kids, all the old people, genders, ethnicity, religion, etc, and break all that down, I think that could give you a better sense of the actual numbers. 50% is definitely way too high. You could dive into each bracket and flesh out the prominent subgroups and then figure out which of those do or don't fit the bill. Would be interesting to do, but I gotta get to work, unfortunately. Tip: you can use Claude AI to generate these charts right in the browser. -

@SwiftQuill Yes, I thought of that after I made the post. I was trying to figure out how I could understand that actual influence of the cultural left but it's not as easy to figure out. I know it's bigger than the political left, but not sure how to go about getting the numbers for it yet. Although I highly doubt it's anywhere approaching 50%. -

I think it helps to try to understand the scale of " the leftists". For the U.S, it's something like this: As you can see, "the leftists" account for a very small percentage of the population. Of those, the leftists this forum is always talking about are the SJWs. Then, the SJWs end up getting lumped into the Bernie Bros and the rest. So people end up conflating the nonsense of the SJW with the entire left. And keep in mind, these are small fractions of population. But it doesn't seem like such a small fraction after one gets tied up in these conversations. In zooming into the left to analyze it's psychology and its implications for society, we forget to zoom back out. Once you’re locked in online discourse, it warps your sense of proportion, then the entire progressive wing becomes this amorphous “woke left.” In reality, these are small and distinct groups, and relatively inconsequential in national influence relative to how much attention they get. Don't get me wrong, turn over every stone, but it's important to understand the implications of the scale so you don't spend all your time looking at a piece of sand when you could be analyzing an intricate amethyst. We overanalyze a fringe until it feels like a dominant force. The SJWs are mostly young, egotistical, idealistic, empathetic college kids. The reason they are so cringe is because they're not mature yet. They still have strong egos. Mix a strong ego with extroversion, idealism, empathy, knowledge of the world's injustices, and an environment that facilitates activism, and you get something like a loud, annoying SJW. Ta daaa!!! To me, it doesn't make much sense to analyze a group that barely exists at scale, while there are much more consequential threats on the horizon. Now, if they had evil intentions, like say we replaced the woke left with neo-nazis, then the attention would be warranted, but these are mostly just annoying, well-meaning kids with big egos. Nothing to fucking see here really. -
Googles “AI mode” is about to fuck organic search even more. It was rolled out like last week.

Elites are humans too. They do not want to hole up in bunkers with robots and a few humans on hand. They wouldn't be happy living like that. Not only that, it's a bad survival strategy. They'd eventually be snuffed out and killed. Also, their will to power is built around power over humans, not power over robots. The only solution will be another economic model. That's their best play.
-
If people can't afford to consume goods and services, the elites can't sell anything, and if they can't sell, they stop being elites. It will be in their own best interest, as well as everyone else's, for that not to happen. If it happens, a new system will emerge. There will be opportunity there, as there always has been.
