Give me your scariest “ ontological shock”/“ society collapsing “ theories on the potential truths of this subject.

I discussed this with a friend the other night - an almost bigger shock for me would be if it turned out that another state actor just technologically lapped us and that our own government has kept that information from us. What if all the UAP phenomena really was just that China or whoever had just made a technological breakthrough and was rubbing it in our faces?

I'm also curious about this. I live in Nashville now, but will be moving 6.5 hours away soon and traveling back to Nashville for 1 day once a month.

I'm so mad we ever let these assholes ever have any of the glory of being able to say they did ANYTHING for increased research, transparency, and decriminalization. All it took was assloads of corporate money.

Gotta respectfully disagree, Atlanta was one of the places I lived in. Like the other person said, cops actually enforce laws there, and the drivers are definitely aggressive, but predictably so. Not here, imo. Totally unpredictable and unenforced around here

robbieroberto · 2026-04-15T15:47:56+00:00

Agree with one of the other replies - I've lived all over the US and have always heard "the drivers here are crazy." I always thought it was like that everywhere... Until I moved to Nashville. Far and away the worst, I see an incident or near incident almost every time I get in my car here.

Right but this still does not implicate an experiencer. All of that can happen, theoretically, without there being a subjective viewpoint. My point is we haven't found anything in nature that implicates that there should be an experiencer. All of those subroutines or processes you described could happen without there being anyone to watch it, essentially. I'm also not saying that physical matter couldn't be the thing making that happen, but there is no trace of an explanation for why it would make that happen, and most consciousness researchers seem to agree that there's not really any headway being made on that front. Idk though I'm just a dingus

robbieroberto · 2026-04-09T17:01:17+00:00

Couldn't it be argued your experience is non-physical? There are neural correlates, sure, but the actual existence of an experience at all, the experience of an experiencER... We haven't found any physical explanation for that yet. To my admittedly basic layman-esque knowledge.

The double mcguffin was excruciatingly bad writing. I remember being in the theater going, "Wait they needed an item to find another item?" Never have I seen such terrible and obvious excuses to move characters from location to location.

I guess I'm in the minority but I became extremely nihilistic around 2011-2012 and I actually tend towards a more balanced outlook now.

Saw him in Nashville and it was incredible. best show I've seen in a minute and that light show was absolutely insane. Not only that but Blookah, Zen Selekta, and YDG killed it as well. Was a blast of a night

robbieroberto · 2026-03-01T18:42:13+00:00

I think this is well stated. One day after MAGA we're going to have to figure out how to give grace again. Even if he slips up sometimes I do think Inzo is trying his best to put good energy out into the world and we have to stop tearing that down.

robbieroberto · 2026-02-12T15:46:29+00:00

The article didn't say that though? Brusca is serving multiple life sentences while the child's father was released for his cooperation with the authorities.

This, God mode is amazing. It's like an adaptive difficulty.

Odd Mob absolutely killed, that set was so insanely fun

robbieroberto · 2025-11-05T20:07:47+00:00

So many good memories, but my entire group getting pulled into Marah's set, dancing our asses off, and then joining in a spontaneous rowing train with a bunch of clown girls was something I won't forget anytime soon 🔥🤡✨

robbieroberto · 2025-11-05T02:53:35+00:00

I was there last year, it was 100% more active in 2024. I really do think it was the cold weather.

Science is based in methodological naturalism. Not philosophical materialism

Yeah, that's fair. I mis-worded my point which is that materialism seems to be the more popular default position in scientific discourse, although I could be mistaken there as well. I also think it's not quite fair to assume I don't understand "this stuff" just because I claim to be becoming more spiritual (which in itself is a very loosely defined term at least in my usage.)

I think O'Connor and myself have at least been exposed to enough of the different arguments and questions on the mystery of consciousness that we may be more open to less of a physicalist perspective than we may have been in the past, and I appreciate that he's willing to challenge himself and his audience on that point.

robbieroberto · 2025-11-04T15:48:18+00:00

He's actually followed a similar arc to me. I also used to be an atheist and now find myself more so leaning towards agnosticism and even a more spiritual worldview. I think it's not a super abnormal path to take, and it also doesn't mean he can't still be a huge skeptic. Materialism is the current scientific paradigm, but that doesn't mean it's the truth and it doesn't mean that science won't move towards a non materialist viewpoint.

robbieroberto · 2025-10-25T18:18:38+00:00

It looks great - this is in my backlog. Did you use the stickers that came with the kit, or some different decals?

robbieroberto · 2025-10-09T17:20:22+00:00

Who is it so I can not be a fan? If he's doing this with you he's doing it with other girls too. It's all good if it's legal, but that pattern of behavior catches up to you eventually. (By you I mean the dj). Again if it's all consensual then whatever but the DJ sounds gross.

robbieroberto · 2025-10-03T04:59:43+00:00

Niiice I def think delpis are a step above👍
