    Perhaps all the above could be summed up by “Capitalist Greed”…??? 🤡 🖕

    No. It’s can’t. And you’re actively hurting your efforts by attaching high school edgelord bullshit to it.

    Corruption has been a seriously problem everywhere, forever, and does not care one bit what words the ruling party uses to express themselves. None of what is happening right now is restricted to nations which call themselves capitalist.









  • Was Magic Mike just a flash in the pan?

    Humans know what humans are like, so this shit falls on deaf ears among the general population because it’s so obviously wrong. The problem is when kids who are still trying to sort out up and down get exposed to it, as I did when I was younger, and end up buying into rubbish ideas like believing that it’s totally okay to ignore your physical health. Thing is, I’m strongly predisposed to having a strong physique, and while I’ve learned that I should personally embrace that and work hard on my body, I spent a lot of younger years working directly against my own self because the media had convinced me to shun traditional beauty standards.

    “Almost overnight, the school fees went up from £55,000 per year to £70,000. The increase was shocking, but not entirely unexpected,” Moy says. “Ultimately, I believe, the education provided and the sacrifices we will have to make are worth it.”

    So they readily admit it’s a fair price, but still felt the need to complain to the media?


  • interesting considering how it spawns some of the most foul and evil egregors out there

    From what I’ve been able to “map out,” The truth of this world is that we are descended from some unknown source, taking a great many steps to get here, as dust collects and takes on new forms over and over again for trillions of years (at least). The artificial world we have created through deliberate effort, however, began when we started counting the cycles of the sun and creating systems built upon that cycle. As a result, it seems entirely impossible for anything wholly within that artificial world to source materials from anything further back in time than when the system was first created. For this reason, real people who actually do go beyond human society and explore the forgotten dimensions will be capable of creating far more, and far greater things than those who hide themselves away in safety and only consume products.

    I’m pretty sure this has a lot to do with why society has been (seeming) excessively tolerant of bad behaviours; because so long as they can be harnessed, the benefits of learning about the pre-human world are immense.

    Edit: I realize I got off on a tangent, but what I wanted to say about the quote is that, for the reasons I explained, when people do things entirely within the ‘artificial’ world, they still have impacts upon the real world even if they don’t perceive it, which is where I think those egregors come from much of the time.


  • While studying in STEM I noticed that at least a few techniques we use in modern computer construction are, in significant ways, really (highly) refined techniques from much older ages. It got me thinking about how we learn things, and I figured that quite a bit of what we learn is from observing the natural world and noticing things which are interesting/unusual, such as noting that ore exposed to intense fire will melt/evaporate the metal out of the rock, purifying it.

    Ever since then I’ve been paying much more attention to the world, and found a great many rare circumstances which led to interesting results, such as one morning when I woke up just as the sun hit the perfect angle off a mirror and onto my lashes, to cause a cascade of rainbows right in my eyes. Just a few days ago I was lucky enough to enjoy a very unusual weather combination, where it was raining fairly hard at the same time as a very hot sun was in a clear part of the sky. The combination of cool rain and hot sun at the same time was very odd, but greatly enjoyable while exercising.

    It’s really quite something just how much more there actually is in the world when you keep an open mind and open eyes to go with it.
