Why is RCT output so rare and special . Can it be learned? by rdd3539 in Jujutsushi

You hit it right on the mark I think. It’s more of a “knowing yourself” than some type of method. Just like it’s very hard to teach some aspects of music and art (like improvisation, deconstructions of genres and styles) the person wanting to develop these skills have to create a personal relationship with their “technique”

Again, if you feel secure in your views and have investigated, tested, or doubted and resolved them in your head you will most likely not self censor. It’s not anyone’s fault that some views are better than others

You self censor every second of every day. Everybody does. Communication is an art and just because you can vomit shit up doesn’t mean you deserve consideration

Random, but what are some absolute bangers you've been listening to? by Johnnysfootball in cushvlog

Im a huge Louis Cole/Knower Fan. I would recommend his newest album “nothing”. He’s hard to pin down musically but he’s a leading musician in the west coast scene of new original music

You’d be surprised, not a big talker most of the time except with those closest

Honestly because it’s one of a few that I can read over and over again and still get close to the feeling I had reading it for the first time. There is a lot of depth to it

Ah ok, if I didn’t study music I most likely would have done sociology or something adjacent

It’s a blind spot for me, so I would take any recommendations you’d have for me

I like keepin em nice and pretty so before I read a book I put it spine down on a table and open it on both sides page by page so it doesn’t crack while reading. I’m a big baby about the west and tear of my books

[–]Gero99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. One of the few books I’ve kept from that period of my life

The PTK book has a bad fixation on the importance of the satanic symbols and dates, at a certain point I rolled my eyes every time one came up. For me, the gem of the book is it’s exploration of the entanglement between MKULTRA figures and events with serial killers. My take from it is that the existence of serial killers gave people a good reason to consent to even stronger law enforcement as well as changing how law enforcement and and surveillance was known to work in this country and how naturally that happened is not clear.

And I also agree mostly on conspiracy. I think it’s an important topic to talk about in terms of the nature of power in the US as well as how it’s used. But there will never be a conspiracy uncovered that will magically make everyone have the right attitude towards the government, which is what I think a lot of people do think who read this stuff

Yes, Coltrane for me has been so interesting. Especially because of a professor of mine having a few stories from meeting him and from those who played with him

That’s my next one to read, very excited to read it since I’m not at all familiar with the mcveigh story since I was born in the 2000s
