Let me start by saying that I never really liked Jordan Peterson but I can understand why so many people are fascinated by him. The guy is more or less a motivational speaker 2.0 able to repackage religion and philosophy into contemporary narratives. There is no essence, no originality but…
I am not going to provide you with evidence whether masks work or not. There is conflicting evidence simply because it is nearly impossible to test it scientifically. Also the entire COVID-19 “science” is a mess and highly dubious to say the least. Masks do not work as we think…
There was a time in Cyprus that the classrooms were filled with gory pictures of war heroes. As kids we got used of them as our parents did. One particularly popped out since it showed a burned corpse. The picture was of Afxentiou, someone who was burned alive from the…
All this time you didn’t notice that almost all the trees are gone. But you don’t pay attention since it was probably because of the termites. The government official tells you that these mysterious termites caused all the damage in your logging town. They ate the roots and so they had to cut them. All the sale proceedings went for supporting the 3 main logging companies in your town so that the economy won’t collapse. Anyone who thinks differently is a conspiracy theorist since there is no real proof.
I can’t recall how many times I had to go through the idea that everything in our economy is so interconnected that even the slightest change can cause massive reaction. I might really hold the world record of “I, Pencil” reposting, which basically explains this very concept. And after those…
If you happen to have had a debate with someone who acts like he is an expert on something, at some point, they might have thrown this diagram on your face in order to shut you off. At face value this diagram demonstrates that the less you know about something,…
I know people who got depressed because their online presence has diminished and they needed attention so much that they got on TV to speak about how depressed they are. Ultimately that made them famous once again and the depression slowly vanished. But since attention is the common denominator here, if the attention-supply-line brakes, the addict defaults to their ‘needy state’. I know. This is some next level clown world material but this is exactly what is going on today.
Many are trying to write books. Others are trying to be literally “someone” (anyone really) so they can be “remembered”. They strive to appear as much as possible on social media, TV appearances, anything that can stamp their name in the passage of time. In all, neo-atheists dread the idea of returning to nothing as much as the religious folk do but find other ways to fuel this existential angst. They want their image to live forever and to do so in the best way possible. They are essentially dreaming of a paradise of their own making.
Deep down, these “elites” even if they had everything, they knew they were still going to die. They tried drugs, they tried sex, they tried almost everything this world had to offer, yet they were still missing something. They hear about old cults. They hear about medical procedures were young blood and organs can make you more youthful. Again, they are not particularly smart or charismatic. They are as gullible and dumbstrucked as everyone else.
The most important evidence is that other people who didn’t want this event to happen could have said something and not accept it as reality! In fact, this event surely happened because people supporting opposing ideologies of this event would have said something if it didn’t happen.
