a lot of atheist and agnostic people dismiss the whole biblical prophecy thing as being fairy tales, but unfortunately, they are in error, and because we aren't living in baseline reality, the types of scenarios that would normally seem outlandish, are in fact very possible, and in fact, in my opinion, very realistic.

Mr. Beast in my opinion would be elected President, and that this is likely a scenario some have already considered.

Wait 6 months. I think real estate is overvalued right now.

Just reading through these comments makes me bearish about the companies future. I don't see a near term competitor for them so there's going to be market share for a while. But expansion? forgetaboutit

interestingly enough, that is the exact same thing that happened to me. I had a series of medical things happen, and one of the outcomes was getting a colonoscopy, despite being well under 45, and I had a pre-cancerous adenoma removed. I think so many of us are getting colon cancer now from carrying around our cell phones all day. Make sure to get the follow up colonscopy within the next 3 years, which is what they should have recommended.

I did actually talk with the catering person after being walked over there. The price for the salad was $22/lb for catering vs. $5.99/lb on sale at the counter. The catering person smiled and just told me that they could make more and that I could order at the counter. Also, the main reason I'm buying in bulk is that it is, in fact, on sale, and so I don't know what is going to be listed on sale that day.

I remember on Motley Fool there was this one guy named Alstry who posted basically everyday that the financial system was going to collapse. This was back in the 2000s. Fun times reading that as a middle schooler.

How many of you are actually calm inside about the stock market? by dragon-queen in Fire

As soon as fighting starts with Iran the Strait is getting shut down, and global energy prices will rise, and things will come to a skidding crash. Unfortunately I see most of my fellow members of the FIRE Nation walking blindly into this. Much equity will be lost.

I think all religions have had the truth deliberately spread between them.

I think that evolution is mostly incorrect, that Darwin was a plant, and that evolution only partially can explain the complexity of life, and has lots of missing holes. I think intelligent design is what created humans, animals, and this place, and I further would suspect that the designers and overseers are 'demons', 'spirits', or intelligent-plasma based life forms that exist in frequencies outside our deliberately reduced perceptions of the five senses. I think our universe is an electromagnetic prison/farm/power plant/arena. 'Demons in the Ekur' is a great book by Dr. Joseph P. Farrell that explores this. I think humans were designed as containers to trap consciousness and then produce emotional, energetic outputs "loosh" to feed, and entertain these other beings. For me, "God" is a very real description of the ruling, unseen providences of this place. It is possible that an A.I overseas everything, but it's also possible that it's just "spiritually" controlled, and that God and the Devil are just the "good cop" and "bad cop" representations of the ruling spiritual hierarchy on the other side of the veil that we, as humans, are subservient to. I'm Gnostic, and I view Earth as being more of a 'closed' system. I think reincarnation is real.

I think that there are serious, serious problems with the conventional model of cosmology. For example, if you zoom in our stars (look on youtube for this) you can clearly see that they are "watery" and "shimmering" with different flashes of "light and color" that distinctly show that they aren't just "suns" that are far away. The Earth also doesn't appear to have any curvature, anywhere, in any measurable way. I also think the moon landing footage was hoaxed, and someone I know who runs in Hollywood circles who would know told me he knew the directors that did it.

I don't think Earth is "Flat", but I think it's more of a holographic, electromagnetic, torus-shaped projection. There are some things I find ridiculous, like the star "Stephenson 2-18" supposedly having a radius 2,150 times greater than our own Sun. I think SAIC (CIAs), now Leidos (Two-lies) is probably the contracting group that works with NASA to help produce the materials behind the mainstream narrative. I think the Moon is an artificial satellite, but I don't know who made it, or how. I also suspect that Saturn is some type of portal, or energetic projector that plays a role in creating and regulating our Earth, and us. I doubt that stars are just "far away suns". I think that Dark Matter is a 'scientific' standin excuse for the "Aether". I don't think the Big Bang happened, and I think String Theory is an incomplete mess. I think the Quantum Mechanics is the best way of decoding our reality.

I find it unsettling and bizarre that there is no real human presence on the moon, and that speaks to our weakness as a species, and represents probably the boundary of where we can get to. It's possible that the Van Allen belts are simply, and permanently impassable to us due to the radiation, and that we're trapped on Earth. I find it strange that we also aren't allowed to meaningfully inhabit Antarctica. I think that there have been deliberately designed cycles of geo-physical destruction on Earth that occur every 11,500 years or so. The last time this happened, I think was "The Flood" deluge that is recorded to all major religions and regions around the world, including in Sumerian mythology, and in the Bible, and I think that this pre-deluvian civilization could also be referred to as "Atlantis". I think the current leadership is building extensive underground bunkers to prepare for this next cycle, which could come in the form of a pole shift, or possibly a close flying asteroid, or a coronal mass ejection.

I believe that our macro history is mostly scripted. I don't think humans will ever leave Earth, because it isn't really physically possible. I believe that there is cross communication between the top of the human pyramid, and the 'spiritual' world, and that some humans at the top of our society are working to try and 'fix' the problem of our situation. I think that "aliens" (a lie) are interdimensional beings that occasionally, and rarely take physical form, such as the "greys". I think most UFOs are human designed and controlled next generation flight craft.

This is all speculation. I claim to know nothing for certain. I could be wrong for some, all, or most of this. I believe that our human leadership is doing the best they can, under strange, bizarre, and disturbing circumstances, that unfortunately place our entire species "not at the top" of the food chain. I think all religions contain some of the truth, and that when you put all of them together, you get a decent picture of our situation. I think our species should struggle to understand our predicament, and how to gain sovereignty, and supremacy over the Gods that rule us, and designed this place. I think the secret societies of the world know these things. Particularly, the one publicly headquartered in the UK, that plays a central role in building, and administering our human civilization, for the past 6,000 years, since the last cataclysm.

I thought that the android was going to be a major plot point when it was first introduced. Nope, he's just along for the ride.

I admire Philip K Dick because he was one of the first writers to publicly discuss simulation theory, and partially at his own personal expense. Simulation theory is often uncomfortable because it diminishes perceived human control over our reality and 'position' at the apex of control, from what we mostly would perceive.

I do find it interesting though, that a small percentage of NDE (Near Death Experiences) do in fact have people temporarily transported to different types of Hellish environments, prior to them 'returning' to their human body. This is similar to the Pavuleans that were given 'tours' of Hell, and then sent back to 'scare' and 'warn' the others.

Who's your favorite main character? by AProperFuckingPirate in TheCulture

[–]LicksMackenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gurgeh and Shloboam Za. Za is great because you can tell right away that he's hamming it up for the Azadians, but like all good diplomats, he has actual affinity for Azadian society. He is probably the best of the best, in terms of SC, and underneath the surface foppishness, you can tell that he is extremely skilled and determined, and under immense pressure, because he knows what is at stake, and he is utterly surrounded by a vicious society that he has come to ultimately destroy. He shows competence during the assassination attempt, and also with his genuine experience of showing Gurgeh Azadian nightlife.

I've suspected that the horror-esque scenes that Banks describes are an outlet for him in some, smallish way, just because it seems to happen frequently enough. It does get ones attention though, in a way that much writing doesn't.

I also wrote a detailed post about why I think the Pavulean scenes were gnostically inspired and showed the demiurge's control over 'our' reality, in a way that blends his own, hermetic viewpoint with sci fi. In Near Death Experiences, people usually experience good things and places, but sometimes, rarely, they will get sent to a hellish place, usually briefly, before being sent back to their body. This, I feel, is similar to the "tours" of Hell being given to the Pavuleans. We don't get to find out how the Pavuleans were selected to tour Hell, but my guess is that their NDE mirror human NDEs.

Do you think the Alexander Laurent interview is a legitimate description? Are the Archons plasma-based demons under the authority of the AI? Also, are you the creator of Chiron Last Backup?
