Everyone posting here is so sure of themselves. There is very little intellectual humility. It's usually something like "It's all a LARP" and "They are reading from a script" or "Jew XYZ" the "Superbowl/election/stock market are all rigged" there will be a "cyber event/disease X scandemic/etc. in 2023" and the classic "XYZ is fake and gay" etc. etc.
Admit you were wrong about something, because if you were always as right as you think you are, you'd be rich and not posting on this fucking website, and we both know it. This is true even if you're batting .500.
I'll go first...I didn't think they would try vaccine mandates. Boy was I wrong on that.
Be really, really brave, I dare you.
I thought I'd have to go out in a scarface-style blaze of glory when I was convinced they'd put me in a covid camp. Glad I was wrong on that one. I still think state-enforced homosexuality is coming out way. Frankly, I pray that I'm wrong more than I'm sure of being right. Because if I'm right about even half of it, we'll see society collapse in our lifetimes.
Ever see that Norm McDonald skit, from the 90s, where he predicts that people will make fun of boys in school for not sucking dick in the future? Fucking hilarious. Man had a gift. We're close to that, but sexual preference is such a personal thing, I don't see how they'd do it.
In my country had I tried to use my rights... probably would have been arrested and would have been in court.... unfortunately this country had mandates.... though they were eventually rescinded....I was not interested in getting arrested for a beer.....but I don't doubt for a second that I would have been had I tried to walk into an establishment....of course. It would not be the mandate...it would be some other law....
That knowing stuff / saying stuff will make a difference.
I was vegan for 30 years - waste of time and missed out on many culinary delights on all my travels.
And now "plant based" is the agenda!
"plant based" is worse then vegan. Never go full vegan.
There is no any bravery needed to admit mistakes. It is just comparing your theory points or predictions with reality. Just routine scientific process nothing more.
But it is senseless to admit mistakes and wrong conclusions if you don't look for a reason of your mistake and adjust accordingly.
F.e. I was wrong about possibility of war with Ukraine. Because I underestimated power of brainwashing of Ukrainian citizens and mistakingly assumed that they will ignore orders of Ukraine government if something will heat up to dangerous levels. And this checks with reality. MSM level of brainwashing on Ukraine was really enormous, and that is very well checks with what everybody who fleed Ukraine told me. Even single story of how Zelensky was elected is absolutely hillarious.
Every scientist worth his salt tests a hypothesis. Sometimes the hypothesis is falsified.
Good points about Ukraine, and it's interesting to see when peace of some sort is achieved, who will admit the whole thing was fucked up.
No one is correct all the time. Sure I get shit wrong all the time, I feel like an idiot.
One time I told a coworker that neanderthals existed up to 5000 years ago, I was thinking of an article I was reading. Oh boy did he think i was retarded and hes right. He would not listen to a thing I said after that, life is funny. What the article was talking about was homesapiens and neanderthals coexisted for 5000 years.

Real derp moment considering the glaciers retreated at least 12000 years ago. I usually figure out my mistakes and most people will think im nuts, but a few here will know what I am talking about. Life or, whatever, has a way of showing me when im wrong, which is quite a bit. I try to be humble, never said I was smart. I may have hinted earlier that we all show signs of intelligence by questioning things, but that doesnt make me, or any of you smart. If we were smart, we wouldnt be here posting I dont think lmao.
Some things cant be proven though, they are very much subjective. At least we will likely never know in our lifetimes.
Like how I choose to believe aliens or some higher life form created us, while others believe it to be a christian or muslim god. How can any of us know for sure what the truth is in a situation like this?!
You know 5000 years ago, they would have called people like us philosophers, now were just anti vaxing freedom loving nut jobs rofl.
Well, just thought on the dates in your quote.
Neanderthals existed 5000 years with cromagnons. And then extincted or was genocided by cromagnons. Does neanderthals suspected in their last 50 years of existence, that none of their kind will be alive just after 50 summers?
Written human history, best known to us, have nearly same timespan. What if some cromagnons of modern times already decided to exterminate modern neandertals. Who could be neandertals today, not knowing that their kind have only 50 years to exist? And what they have to do to survive? And who are cromagnons?
Creepy.
Do you have some more information. I would be interested in what you have heard.
Well, it would be hard for English-speaking person, but for example you could begin with something like that video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMxygZoEFzg It's in Russian, a very typical story of Ukrainian citizen who moved to Russia. And I heard similar stories from many people too. Unfortunately auto-generated subtitles only in Russian and I don't know if it is possible to auto-translate them. But you could check text comments using online translator where a lot of people confirm the dude story and tell their own.
If you asking about Zelensky election - there was made comedy series season where Zelensky played role of protagonist who suddenly become president of Ukraine and do exactly what everybody wants, fighting with some shady persons who do all the globalist shit, including separating from Russia and Belarus. Zelensky's hero in series overturn them and become beloved leader of Ukraine. Really, highly recommend to watch, it is on YouTube, even with English translation.
Exactly. Have enormous amount of examples around. Unfortunately, not everybody gain wisdom on that way, some fall to exactly same state as before, but with another sign and that's all.
A Q guy? Shit man. That's takes some guts to admit. I'm glad pulled your head out of your ass.
Let's call it a one night stand, eh?
All good points.
I was on the Q train until that period between the election and J6. I'm an Aussie so I don't have a dog in the fight, but I was high on hopium. It was a very effective psyop in keeping people doing nothing with the hope Trump and his team would take care of business.
It was only right at the end when Kushner told Trump not to join Discord that the spell was broken for me, I thought Kushner was just given a job because he was family, I didn't expect Trump to listen to him.
I had a small modicum of hope that the vaccine mandates would cause massive upheaval and outrage. It was my last hope for humanity. I was wrong.
I think there were enough people, independent thinkers, as it were, to put the brakes on it. Particularly in the Supreme Court.
I still have some hope .. but it looks like the vaccines were just a straw....not the straw
I think I was most wrong about the Covid lethality until the number started to not make any sense....but I trusted the narrative that covid was 10% fatal for a few weeks.
God bless you for that admission sir.
They got me for the first two weeks, I really thought it was a pandemic, I was on the emergency registry to be called out for EMS and everything and then they shut everything down besides fast food and I'm like that's the germiest place! Nothing made logical sense to me and I knew this was all about control and confusion. Disgusting.
I have been wrong....I expected much more effective leadership among the TPTB.....
I was not wrong though on most theories just not yet disproven haha. The only thing I have been wrong about is expecting a larger bang rather than a duck and distraction.
I expected a financial crash which never came...but we got a war instead....so that seems to correlate to me.
But covid stuff. I was right about it....lab, vaccines were bad, profit motives, digital ID, and a way to crush small businesses and erode the middle class....inflation....and the race bait ...the search engine's ...
I'm not rich.....because I have values.....not because I couldnt have been exploiting people....I choose poverty and principles over....profit and whatever they choose....
All good stuff, thanks for sharing.
It's hard to say when I was wrong, when my view point has simply adjusted over the years. Any posts where I believed myself to be wrong, were quickly deleted, or noted on, and just as quickly forgotten about, as I moved on.
Were you prepared to die on that hill? Not really an admission.
Not like saying Nixon was right, or Eisenhower ran death camps.
I was ready to lose my job, and shoot any MFers coming to put that shit in my body.
So yea, I didn't think it would get that bad. Normalcy bias is a common error.
Yes. But you were aware it was possible. And had decided on your choice if it did.
So, not really wrong on it. Just, speculating on 'what could be'.
That's one way to look at it.
We can say now it wasnt that bad, but there were literal fucking crazy mfers saying exactly that!
I loved this fucking comment by a local here.
https://ibb.co/sqwWWnb
He/she wasnt the only who felt this way for sure. And by the way they are obviously retarded. They didnt kill people for getting the plague, the plague was doing enough of that on its own. What they did was restrict travel into and out of the main metropolitan areas, sound familiar?

I like how they spin it as a positive, did fuck all to help the 50% of people who had no immunity to it.
I thought a lot more people would be dropping over by now, i mean theres the whole “died suddenly” but was expecting and predicting mass kill off from the shots.
I'm not certain what the purpose of the shot was. Bill Gates famously stated that with vaccines he could reduce the increase in the world population by 15%. So were the shots a "slow die off"? Psyop to validate covid? Long term die-off? Conditioning for something more?
From everything i’ve seen it causes fertility issues, miscarriage rates were 90+% if taken while pregnant. Then theres the athletes that have heart failure during matches, so best guess is the spike proteins attack everything. I do have a neighbor, she’s 80 after the shot you could tell mentally she started going downhill, its been almost 2 years now and she’s been diagnosed with dementia, so not sure if due to her age/not taking care of herself or the shot (seen the shot can cause neurological issues)
I agree but this is all anecdotal evidence. Maybe there is statistical evidence. I have similar stories but also counter stories (people having trouble with fertility, people NOT having trouble with fertility). Granted not all covid shots were the same as the "recipe" was changed within brands.
For sure, and that adds to the confusion, heard as many as 3 variant batches were shipped from pfizer
There were many batches and many variants. so if the shot was designed to do harm they probably manufactured it in such a way that it would be impossible to do a statistical test to determine the shot was bad, as some batches were harmless while others harmful
It’s all a LARP. They are reading from a script. It’s the jews.
Get over it.
Such a towering intellect who was never wrong. You must be making bank on trading crypto, eh?
Yes, the discussion is over. You’ve conceded the argument and are unable to defend your position with citations or sources. Thank you for confirming.
You, sir, are both stunning and brave.
You believe that you made an argument? Do tell.
Run along, child. Your own identical failings disqualify you from having any input here, too.
sadly ive been right on everything for the past 17 years. my biggest mistake was thinking old ppl r smarter. no. most old ppl r totally retarded
I used to read wsws.org every day
Ive been wrong about nearly everyone economic prediction ive made (timing the market). I admit I do not understand economics/stock markets and do not make economic predictions
I personally have been vilified over and over for my theories about giant mutant star goats. I shall be vindicated when we land our space ark and set about colonizing this planet with hair dressers and telephone cleaners.
