  1. The propaganda machine is effectively operating on all cylinders. It's currently spreading the idea "An attack on Trump is an attack on you. You and your values are under attack, and these attacks are intentionally orchestrated war efforts from a wicked adversary who seeks power above all else. Running this country into the ground is part of their strategy to extinguish your right way of life." The assassination attempts provide abundant opportunity to strengthen conviction that Dems are absolutely evil. The hatred is intensifying now. I anticipate an uptick in anger and heated debate in the next few days as a result of these narratives. "They're not coming after me, they're coming after you. I just so happen to be standing in the way."
  2. I made these demons real. I printed this bitch out on a poster and hung it in my kitchen.
  3. He was a bit late but Kyle got there. He thought Trump was shooting from the hip with the Haitian cats but now thinks it was intentional. He believes it was a stupid move, and it might be, but I wouldn’t discount primal fear just yet. There might even be a new viral immigration story on the horizon.
  4. This post title is misleading. The guy didn’t actually shoot at Trump. When Trump said “there were gunshots in my vicinity” what he meant was, secret service spotted a guy over a football field away and shot towards the guy they spotted.
  5. Tried carnivore for a month. Blood cholesterol skyrocketed. Serum cholesterol levels: Pre-carnivore: 200 1 month on carnivore: 260 3 months after quitting - 190 Lots of butter and eggs though. I couldn't just do straight meat. I was ordering from Butcherbox, which was convenient. If I ever try it again, I would have to exclude eggs and butter because the cholesterol impact was too much. Also, energy levels were shit and it wasn't just from carb depletion acclimation. I've done lots of keto. Hard truth I'm learning to accept about myself: The human organism needs satisfying foods for it to be happy. There's no way around this. I cannot trick or force myself to believe otherwise. The food has to be thoroughly enjoyed. Otherwise, there's a great negative energetic impact, which adds up, IME.
  6. It's funny when people say things like "how come you only became interested in political corruption when Trump came into office?". Our political system has never had its norms shattered the way it has since Trump came in. Because of this, most of us have not been following every potential political scandal. This is not because we're biased hypocrites, it's because the system was healthy enough to take care of itself, or so we thought. Those were the good ole days!
  7. @Fearey Ok bro, here's a synchronicity. I'm INTJ, I think 5w4, software development adjacent (web dev), interested in data science, but this is nothing worth mentioning until I realized you have the same profile picture as my custom chrome extension: I didn't want to fuck around with an icon and so just made a square in figma and colored it #a25698. It's not exact color but c'mon! 😆
  8. Yes, this problem doesn't escape me. This way of thinking is common on the right. They (the ideological right, not JD) think they are stamping out evil. Everyone thinks they know best of how things ought to be ran. The problem is, have you seen how stupid people are? The only way to know what is best is to care about what is best, so much that you devote many years of your life to understanding what is best. If someone does that in earnest and tries to be right, for goodness sake, not their own, and if they have been successful, their ideas of what is good should carry more weight than some power hungry dumbasses who only care about themselves. I doubt you would disagree with that position. BTW, thanks for the article. It gives more weight to my hypothesis. Vance implies he made up stories to get eyeballs on Springfield. Didn't see them admitting it but makes sense.
  9. That is a really interesting idea, but unfortunately, I'm not that creative. lol. I flubbed my words. It's not important though because it led to this new idea for us. 😆 I'm not sure. AFAIK, if immigrants come here legally, they can go wherever they want. It makes sense they'd wind up in smallish towns with low rent prices if jobs are there. Manufacturing plants often spring up where land is cheap, so if immigrants find a honey hole of cheap land + lots of jobs, bingo, call the fam. Seems that's what happened. The local politicians had incentive to let them come and once the problems started cropping up, they realized there was no good mechanism in place to curb population growth, so what are they going to do? It's against federal law for states to reject immigrants that are here legally, AFAIK. That's my best guess as to what happened. I don't think there was a single person or a single group who decided to increase the population by adding 1/3 Haitians.
  10. Yes. I would put a bullet in baby Hitler's brain if given the chance. 100%. And I would likely advocate for the same to someone who did the same to an innocent baby. I'm unapologetically against what I perceive as detrimental to good, aka (evil), and have not yet figured out if it's always or usually best to turn the other cheek. The wise ones say this, but I can't see it yet. Springfield Ohio is a Republican town, in a Republican county, in a Republican state. My guess is the Republicans signed off on it.
  11. I can see how you'd think my approach is morally reprehensible, e.g., not the way people should be, but I see your approach as suboptimal. I prefer your approach, but stakes are currently too high to forgo strategic intervention. I don't believe each voter is sufficiently informed or developed enough to avoid potential catastrophe. When the stakes are low, sure, let the people fuck around, but when the life of the system is in danger, I'm okay with the people being manipulated for their own benefit. You can call that fucked up but I call it caring about the system they comprise. Ideally, people would be intelligent enough to discern for themselves what is right, but they simply aren't. There should be no question that someone who tried to steal the 2020 election is disqualified from consideration for the 2024 election... but that's not the case... is it? If it were the case, I'd probably favor your approach. I don't perceive it as aggressive. I appreciate the feedback! I'm not super informed either. "How" isn't as important to me as "why". The why justifies/informs the how. If you want to know who is to blame, you can't trace that back the way I assume you think you can. I assume you think you can directly trace it back to Democrats, but it's not that simple. When you see people in dire straights and you can afford to help them, you might open your doors to them, and years later, they cause problems you didn't foresee or don't know how to handle. Many right-leaning people like to point the finger and call the Dems stupid pieces of shit because they wanted to help people—and themselves too—but this positionality exists within a very narrow perspective. Much bigger problems exist atm. It's currently possible that an absolute lunatic could take over our government. We can deal with immigration once the very structure of the system is safe.
  12. haha, yeah, I felt little to no impact this time around. Read the story and was like, wtf, next.
  13. @What Am I I'm simply speculating on what I think is most likely going on, and if it's true, it is detrimental to my desired outcome. To what degree, I can't say, but I suspect it will be highly effective and if the race is as close as many people think, it is concerning. The overzealous immigration should be looked at, as it's obviously causing problems, but when the house is on fire, you don't go and replace the smoke detector batteries... you put the fire out. You can maintain the smoke alarms after the fire is out. Some problems are more manageable than others. Another Trump term could wind us up in a problem far worse than solving for immigration.
  14. I don't think it would matter much. Even if she was outed as a shill, people would still be aware of the problem, which is the point. And left-wing media has done and continues to do the majority of the work 😆 They think they're hitting the Rs good here by showing how they peddle in lies. lol. Everyone should halt reporting on this ASAP. But it's too late, it's out now. It will be a centerpiece moving forward. Prediction: At least 2-4 weeks before the election, the Trump campaign will flood the media landscape with ads highlighting Springfield's immigration problem and it will be their most effective effort.
  15. To see Springfield’s Haitian problem, go to timestamp 5:08. Vance was talking about this some while ago, with numbers and charts. If the information contained in this video goes mainstream—which it’s not far from doing, if it hasn’t already—the last thing that will be on people’s minds is lies about pets. It was never about the pets. This will be devastating for Kamala if it goes mainstream. I suspect the Rs will turn the story of the 95lb white lady who had Haitian men tossing mattresses in her yard and yelling at her in Haitian, into an advertisement… if they were smart. It looks like this might be one of the most effective anti-immigrant campaigns ever. Vancǝ is at the heart of it. And who owns Vancǝ? That apǝx prǝdator billionairǝ who studies manipulating the masses (Pǝtǝr Thiǝl, outspoken disciple of Rǝnǝ Girard). Also, one of their main complaints is Haitians can't drive for shit and they're killing people on the road. I lived in Key West in a jam packed trailer park where Haitians made up the majority. Their driving was a common complaint there as well. To say they aren't easy to deal with is an understatement. They usually can't speak much English and they're more often than not boisterous, arrogant, uncooperative, and unwilling to admit wrongdoing. If they wake you up in the middle of the night with loud music or partying, it's your fault. I'm not racist or anti-immigrant but it was annoying, mostly due to their imposing themselves without concern for others. Of course, it's a spectrum—some are more respectful than others, but the majority, IME, were problematic. This is an effective anti-immigrant campaign. What state neighbors Ohio? This problem is less than a 3-hour road trip away from Pennsylvania.
  16. @Keryo Koffa What are you trying to do with ChatGPTs memory? What is the "Customization" feature? Are you just plugging in all that info you posted and having it collaborate with you from those perspectives? If so, I think you're going to need to give it more context 😂 Can you define your goals here? It seems the main goal is to speed up conscious evolution, but your current goal is to construct a theoretical framework and methodology that can be used to traverse consciousness in the most efficient ways possible, for purpose of discovering its nature, such that you might find insights for manipulating its evolution. Is that right? If so, I really like the ideas in your framework. I've dreamt about such a framework but I've never set out to work on one. That's why I was saying I think you should have some sort of blog or obsidian vault that others can access. You have to know your ideas are inaccessible, lol. They seem like high quality ideas and are efficient for you but too far abstracted for other consciousnesses to easily grasp. I suppose that's part of the problem you'd like to solve. Chat and I did our best to understand your terms: I think it's badass. A true pioneer! I think my biggest interest along these lines is in being able to allow other consciousnesses to see a specific thing. For you to be able to see why they can't see, then take them through each thing they are missing and lead them all the way to seeing the thing they need to see. I'm not sure if this is possible or to what degree it's possible but if it is, that might be the biggest force-multiplier for conscious evolution. It would basically have all psychology mapped out and know with precision what integration is lacking in order to evolve. Something like that. I think your goals are larger but I could see this being an aspect of the system.
  17. If you run an advertisement to prove X, and you prove X where some large portion of 68 million people were looking to see if X were true, then your advertisement was probably successful. In marketing, this is considered a win. It’s not as simple as this but it seems absurd to believe a poll that says a successful debate performance in front of an audience of 68 million was not successful. To demonstrate: It's beyond absurd to believe that because a poll says Taylor Swift's endorsement shows little impact, the impact is little. You have to ask yourself "what is going on here?" Do you just think influencer marketing doesn't influence? Their polls cannot measure this. I recommend the book “Everybody Lies”. It highlights important concepts relevant to this topic. It shows how the 2016 polls and the best pollster in the country were so wrong. Similar dynamics could be going on with this poll. I wouldn’t put stock in them. Also, more and more egos are finding comfort in priding themselves on not being tribal. They fancy themselves independent thinkers. This self-deception seems to be the main reason many are saying things like “I’m open to Kamala but she has to earn my vote”. This ego mechanism could largely skew the polls. It's likely this ego mechanism resists deciding right up till the election and the one's employing it will largely be driven to conform to their geographic status quo. They aren't carefully employing rationality and reason. They will likely be motivated by a mix of tribe, personal impact(emotion), and reason, in that order. Another point: as Hardkill mentioned, there is major incentive to not broadcast much success.
  18. I didn’t say Trump planned it out. That would be absurd. Lol. It would also be absurd to think that Trump’s campaign does not have access to consultants who could provide them with such a strategy. Of course, it’s also possible he just got really lucky to have such a golden opportunity arrive just in time for the big event.
  19. When all the dust settles from the crazy lies like infant murder and pets getting eaten, the general public will be a little more in the know on abortion and immigrant problems, which is the goal. It’s not that the man who says absurd shit has said more absurd shit, which people are inoculated to, it’s that they will have better reasons to vote R. “Don’t want my town to become like Springfield”, is more motivating than “Trump lied again”. Nearly every video I’ve seen by reputable outlets explicitly acknowledge the Haitian population putting strain on the system. It was a city of 55k and now it’s got 20k+ Haitians. Before, when Trump said “they’re taking over”, everyone just thought it was political bullshit. But now, people will know what he’s talking about, and not just with some border or coastal region. This can happen to YOU if Kamala gets in. This is not some idiot flying off the handle. This shit was planned. Trump’s key issue is now receiving millions of dollars in free press. The excitement from the absurdity will die down and what will be left is not Trump’s lies, but fear of your town being taken over. Seems like a solid strategy to me.
  20. @ryandesreu fear, and how easy it gets triggered.
  21. Maybe. My confidence has lowered a bit. I know there are some leaps in here but humor me and try this on: I saw an MSNBC reporter on the ground in Springfield and they said there was no evidence of cat-eating, but there is a real problem with immigrants. Then, I realized, oh shit, if the average person just looks at this to see if the cat thing is true, the immigration angle would become much more effective. Before seeing that, most normies probably couldn't name one city they knew for sure that had immigrant problems. Now they can. Then I thought: How can he get cameras into a good old American city overrun by immigrants? If he simply tells them to go there and look, no one would listen, but if he made some absurd claims, they would. Especially if he doubled down on it. If he just mentioned it in passing, it might not get much attention, so MAKE SURE you say it very loud and drive the point home. If you go back and watch that clip, something seemed off about it. Also, 1.5 days before, Elon Musk, JD Vance, and other high profile peeps were sharing it. It was debunked by the time the debate happened. I find it hard to believe his campaign didn't know that and understand how crazy it seemed. Pretend this is all true for a second and ask yourself, if tens of millions of normies find out about Springfield's immigrant problem, could that significantly impact the vote? Now... what's the #1 line of attack the Rs have? Immigration. I'm not sure if it would be a good move or not, but it seems like it could be. No? If Springfield becomes a talking point from here on out for them, that will confirm it for me.
  22. @meta_male Hi! I think you likely need wholesome, spiritual wisdom that is practical, free of dogma, and grounded in this physical reality. These teachings are rare but they do exist, and here's a treasure trove: https://www.audible.com/pd/James-Allen-Complete-Premium-Collection-Audiobook/2291063790 This is all you need to guide your mind back to health. The mind becomes unhealthy as a result of impure thought. These teachings inspire you to identify, uproot, and replace them with healthy thoughts. You are not inherently weak. You have unwittingly allowed your mind to entertain detrimental thoughts, and your suicidal ideation is the result. You can change it if you want to. You simply have to stop thinking/doing certain things and start thinking/doing others. The collection I shared can walk you through that process. I would disconnect from all other schools of thought and media and any online communities that don't compliment the teachings. I hope you find some peace soon.
  23. @Shodburrito I don't think you're faking who you are. I think you just haven't fully discovered and understood yourself and your values yet. You do care about other people AND you want them to evolve so you can co-create with them. That's a virtue, not a vice. Obviously though, there are issues with integration. If your goal is to reconcile them, I would look to gain deeper insight into myself. Something is causing the inner chaos. You can only solve it by looking inward, not outward, which I suspect you already know. If you're interested, here are some thoughts: Realize your inherent nature, which you did not choose. You just lucked up. You did not earn these with hard work. - Headstrong - Intelligent - Disciplined, deliberate, a whip to those who shirk - High standards. Set the bar high and get over it. - Driven by competence - Problem solver - Visionary Probably helpful ideas: - Realize others did not receive your gifts. They literally cannot help it. They don't know any better. Literally. They do not have the ability to direct themselves the way that you do. From your POV, it's easy. To them, it's the hardest thing. - There's a trap here you must avoid. They are weak but this is not to be used to slander them or look down on them. Do not call them weak out of anger. Imagine how unfortunate it would be if you lacked the gifts you were born with. I think this is the most profitable thread for you to pull on. - Many people wish they had the ability to operate the way you do, but it just isn't in them. This means you should make an effort to be humble when you're around them because it's easy to offend. For example, my vocabulary is shit but it's bigger than most around me. I have to intentionally dumb down my words so they don't think I'm trying to be smart, which would offend. Don't broadcast your intelligence or your gifts. They can already see them, even though they act like they don't. They might come to you in their darkest hour because they know you're the one with the answers and the strength. Let that be the only recognition you need. - Yes, you do care about people. A big heart is not a weakness. You want what's best for them AND you want connection, but these two can conflict because most days, you're probably in results mode and fuck the feelings, let's go. You don't want to be bogged down by bullshit but it's the cost you have to pay if you want a social life. You might have to learn to let loose. - The quality of people matter. Distinguish between acquaintance and friend. Be selective about who gets your attention. I found a few buddies who could put up with my thinking for long enough that I could get some good conversations out of them. Don't invest too much time in people you don't value. - Lastly, your ego, like all egos, wants recognition. From time to time, try to catch that and make a mental note to check it next time. Over time, the ego's desire for recognition diminishes. I hope these ideas might help or lead you to other lines of contemplation that could be profitable.
