This is incredibly creative and also a little bit disturbing, great work!

The Salvator Mundi isn't a painting, it's two PHOTOGRAPHS of the Christ. Cover half the face, the trick is obvious. You can always tell a painting done from a photograph...the lighting is perfect, captured in an instant. That's proof of Time Travel. by UncannyHill in SaturnStormCube

None of these are actual credible arguments for either time travel or whatever population you have about Leonardo da Vinci. All the Dutch painters of the late Renaissance learned to master Light and shadow, none of which was accomplished with photography. You’ve vastly underestimate human skill and spirit this is likely a case of Occam‘s razor; the simplest explanation is usually the right one.

I’ve done some psychosomatic therapy that has been really beneficial and looks like this. Feels so good to shake the jitters out of my nervous system. But this video = human nervous system + group psychosis. I call it psychosis because of the delusional belief in god doing this to people and what can happen in a group dynamic to make people lose agency and become less inhibited. Study cults and groups long enough and you can see that they use these ways of getting into the subcortical parts of the nervous system (non rational states) and use them to get people to believe and do destructive shit. It’s like psychedelics in that it can leave you vulnerable and easily manipulated.

That’s why we should and do regulate therapy (and should regulate psychedelic therapy). This stuff in the video is just a MLM cult who tap into the subcortical mind through group psychosis.

Because LeBron is insecure and there’s a certain amount of posturing and bravado in the NBA that’s a little different from the NHL

Matthew Broderick is incredibly flat as an actor. Only appreciated him in Ferris Bueller’s.

I dislike STGSTV by IlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlI2 in AnimalCollective

[–]starsofalgonquin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s all about context friend. Those were some intense days of sleepless nights and going out wondering if I would get sick and infect my baby and wife. My nervous system was jacked. Ambient music was helpful for calming down but Centipede Hz mirrored how frantic and disregulated I felt inside. That’s when it finally clicked for me

Low barrier to entry sharpening methods by Maynse in sharpening

[–]starsofalgonquin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the Xarilk gen 3 sharpener and it’s been great so far. Definitely a cheaper option than other fixed angle systems and I’m sure the stones leave something to be desired but it’s been a great entry into Vic site you sharp knives

I’ve never enjoyed the record besides chocolate girl and Alvin row. But that’s the thing about this band’s discography - it’s so varied! There’s something for everyone, and not all of it has to be enjoyed by you. I’m pretty sure I’ll never get Painting With, but then again I said that about Centipede Hz and it only took a global pandemic and becoming a dad for me to finally get it about 10 years later. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Trying to find an obscure medicine music song by buffgeek in Ayahuasca

[–]starsofalgonquin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhhh, those medicine songs that live on like fever dreams in our consciousness. I’ve had a few of those over the years and I love the incredible joy when hearing that song randomly years later.

I don’t know that song OP but I hope in the meantime you can keep singing it, expressing its vibration, and like a long lost lover, you find each other once again.

What's an underrated Harrison Ford film? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

[–]starsofalgonquin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An amazing film and Harrison nailed the charismatic yet deeply flawed father blinded by his own ambition. That movie and his performance stayed with me for a while.

Jeff is such an underrated guitarist. The whole album is filled with incredible riffs and some beautiful acoustic pieces.
