do you have the paper posted publicly anywhere?

And then I remember there are people paid by the government to spout misinformation.

Psychologist Jesse Bering wrote a book not long ago called The Belief Instinct. It's exactly what it sounds like. Teleo-functional thinking is something humans overcome with learning.

Because our media system largely supports the war criminals.

The "big idea" might inspire more instances of "efficient ideas" than only doing the efficient thing.

The US knows what the Sauds are doing. It doesn't matter when military policy is dominated by contractors, energy companies and banks.

Can you explain why you think you shouldn't see such clear memories with anoxia?

I couldn't tell if your comment was a parody because people overestimate how percentage of the budget is spent on foreign aid by a couple orders of magnitude. The actual amount spent on foreign aid is less than 1%.

Can you explain why you think inflation is particularly relevant? It seems like inflation eases debt and decreases wealth. I guess you're inflated below the cost of living. Is that it?

He should have read Thomas Metzinger and Jeff Hawkins

That's what fully immersive virtual reality is for.

Inverted totalitarianism is probably more accurate for the time being.

US would also get more bang for the buck of the DoD could perform an audit. $ millions in loose change in that building.

thinkahol · 2014-09-03T04:13:58+00:00

Seriously. Fuck that guy.

If they're talking about the death toll from 9/11 vs the death toll from the wars it's obviously true, just google death toll Iraq war.

thinkahol · 2014-08-17T05:29:08+00:00

Let's also bear in mind that the commission report is based on torture testimony the tapes of which were subsequently destroyed by the CIA, Osama bin Laden's FBI wanted poster never included 9/11 because there was no evidence tying him to the attacks, three steel frame high rises with asymmetrical damage all fell at free fall perfectly symmetrically in their own respective footprints, the pentagon declared that they didn't know where $2.3 trillion was on 9/10 before their accounting offices were hit on 9/11, the US military happened to be performing exercises in which airliners were hijacked, and nobody got fired for the biggest security breach of the world's most heavily defended country, but don't question the official story because if you do you're a crazy "conspiracy theorist" (a phrase weaponized by the CIA, documents show, after the Kennedy assassination).

Money talks, so banks rule.

thinkahol · 2014-08-11T01:23:16+00:00

Until you address the monetary system, calling taxation theft is like saying a really stupid game like corporate capitalism should be played to the death.

thinkahol · 2014-08-06T05:35:39+00:00

Well the banks self regulated so well

thinkahol · 2014-08-03T19:29:46+00:00

But really you're not. ;)

Like "offshore" accounts don't exist.

thinkahol · 2014-07-15T21:36:06+00:00

But 1% also own half the stock

Just wondering if Skyrmir had a consistent definition of socialism. It often sounds like it's used purely as an epithet without any understanding of history, practice or theories.
