Really like this part:

This is information. It is being promoted. But what does it mean? Did it even happen? How can I know? Some news article said. Maybe someone was there to verify that quote was said. *But I don’t know who picked that quote to be put in the article or why a news story was created around it. But someone does. Someone can interpret that info. And it means something to them and it means next to nothing to everybody else.

The meta-focus on intent of author and publisher.

If you want to trust a source you have to know the source and be familiar with the topic enough to decide for yourself.

Sometimes, I don't trust things I tell myself, about myself. Lol. I'm my own source, that presumably I know very well, and we're talking about something near and dear to both of us, us! Me! Example: I probably think I'm a better person than I really "am". Or maybe worse? That an event happened a certain way, years, minutes or seconds ago.

Especially when thinking of intent, this seems to happen more often.

Whether a door slammed in another room, or was it a book dropping?

The closer we get to a physical event the more probable, it seems to me, that I can trust my eyes, ears, etc. Memory is another matter! Esp as I age! Ha ha!

There's an author, Robert Anton Wilson, have you heard of him? Housewife, lemme tell ya, he goes off on this topic! "Quantum Psychology", especially, delves into e-prime, quantum theory, shhht, I don't even remember all the topics. Mr. Wilson has a very non-traditional way of approaching the subject, lets say. I'll be generous and say that it seems very relaxed and informal ...while still getting into the nuts and bolts of epistemology.

Excerpt about e-prime: http://rawilson.com/quantum-psychology/

An intersection of semantics, physics and epistemology. With practical applications thrown in. And Bob's ....unique approach.

Love it and have been a fan for about 20 years. Lol.

What is the difference between compromised and margenalized? Or, can you give me examples for those two? I'm not sure I understand.

Tel;Dr...I could be in a coma dreaming all this. It seems likevtreating things as probabilities vs possibilities gets me closer to the truth. Anything is possible, not all things probable. Though, many improbable conspiracies get away from public notice exactly by being, or seeming, heh heh, improbable!

E-prime helps me through a lot of mess. The fallacy of "is-ness"! How claiming something* is* presupposes the thing to be stable and unchanging and only one thing, unconnected and that your view of it "is" absolute and unaffected by your own nervous system. Anyways...this is all sort of off-topic as I think others have answered better than I have. At least, they seem like good sources of information from the upvote count, that's important right? Ha ha, just kidding there! Just kiddin.

But yeah, this sub should absolutely adore Robert Anton Wilson! You do,ndont you? His specialty was 'conspiracy' from a philosophic angle. I'm still studying him but please do yourself a favor and read Cosmic Trigger triology or or Quantum Psychology or even just his Wikipedia entry!

That out of the way, yes, as others have said, who, what, where, when...with very little why! Is usually the opposite way around. Whole news articles concerned with why someone did this thing on this day over there.

From there, as others have mentioned, verification by independent parties. Etc.

Thing is, as ol R.A.W. points out, the entire thing could be an elaborate conspiracy!

or is likely to incite violence

This is the thing right here. The slippery slope. Does a gore vid of a robber getting shot, with people yelling, "NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGERERR!!!"...in the comment section mean that the platform itself is encouraging violence? Or ...a video talking about China's "super soldier" experiments? Or...a video calling someone a faggot?

(Which really makes you wonder about why 4chan /pol is allowed to continue ((coughcoughhoneypotcough)) and also why suddenly there's been a marked decrease in gore vids there)

But anyways...

WE NEED A WELL FUNDED SITE, WITH A FEW DEDICATED LAWYERS, TO DEFEND FREE SPEECH.

Hard to do when lawyers themselves risk being 'canceled' for defending the 'wrong' people:

Lawyers haven’t exactly been flocking to defend Trump voters charged in the Capitol riot. It’s an unpopular cause, and likely to lead to an attorney being shunned by colleagues or worse, and the defendants for the most part can’t afford to pay legal fees.

But Joseph McBride is one of the heroic few attorneys who has stood up in the name of equal justice for the most reviled people in the nation. As a former Manhattan public defender, it’s what he always has done.

Maybe these will be of some use to you? I wish you all the best.

“When we meet somebody whose separate tunnel-reality is obviously far different from ours, we are a bit frightened and always disoriented. We tend to think they are mad, or that they are crooks trying to con us in some way, or that they are hoaxers playing a joke. Yet it is neurologically obvious that no two brains have the same genetically-programmed hard wiring, the same imprints, the same conditioning, the same learning experiences. We are all living in separate realities. That is why communication fails so often, and misunderstandings and resentments are so common. I say "meow" and you say "Bow-wow," and each of us is convinced the other is a bit dumb.” ― Robert Anton Wilson, Prometheus Rising

“Since we all create our habitual reality-tunnels, either consciously and intelligently or unconsciously and mechanically, I prefer to create for each hour the happiest, funniest, and most romantic reality-tunnel consistent with the signals my brain apprehends. I feel sorry for people who persistently organize experience into sad, dreary and hopeless reality-tunnels, and try to show them how to break the bad habit, but I don’t feel any masochistic duty to share their misery.” — Robert Anton Wilson, Cosmic Trigger I

“The numbers of universes perceived by human beings does not equal the population of the planet, but several times the population of the planet.

60 Minutes has learned Chinese company BGI Group, the largest biotech firm in the world, offered to build COVID labs in at least six states, and U.S. intelligence officials issued warnings not to share health data with BGI. See the story Sunday on CBS.

"Weaponizing Biotech: How China's Military Is Preparing for a 'New Domain of Warfare': Under Beijing's civil-military fusion strategy, the PLA is sponsoring research on gene editing, human performance enhancement, and more."

The PLA’s keen interest is reflected in strategic writings and research that argue that advances in biology are contributing to changing the form or character (形态) of conflict. For example:

In 2010’s War for Biological Dominance (制生权战争), Guo Jiwei (郭继卫), a professor with the Third Military Medical University, emphasizes the impact of biology on future warfare.

In 2015, then-president of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences He Fuchu (贺福初) argued that biotechnology will become the new “strategic commanding heights” of national defense, from biomaterials to "brain control" weapons. Maj. Gen. He has since become the vice president of the Academy of Military Sciences, which leads China’s military science enterprise.

Biology is among seven "new domains of warfare" discussed in a 2017 book by Zhang Shibo (张仕波), a retired general and former president of the National Defense University, who concludes: “Modern biotechnology development is gradually showing strong signs characteristic of an offensive capability,” including the possibility that “specific ethnic genetic attacks” (特定种族基因攻击) could be employed.

The 2017 edition of Science of Military Strategy (战略学), a textbook published by the PLA’s National Defense University that is considered to be relatively authoritative, debuted a section about biology as a domain of military struggle, similarly mentioning the potential for new kinds of biological warfare to include “specific ethnic genetic attacks.”

These are just a few examples of an extensive and evolving literature by Chinese military scholars and scientists who are exploring new directions in military innovation.

Another good read:

"Web Semantics: Chinese Futurist Military Jargon" (Wired)

https://archive.is/FRYxX

...

“specific ethnic genetic attacks” (特定种族基因攻击)

“strategic commanding heights” (制高点)

War for Biological Dominance (制生权战争)

“winning without fighting” (不战而屈人之兵)

"China has done human testing to create biologically enhanced super soldiers, says top U.S. official" (NBC News)

https://archive.is/ZX030

Etc.

An army of empathy-less, super strong, "super soldiers" who heal faster, can see in the dark, hear better, withstand the cold, run faster, etc. Transhumanist academic "Super Brights". Etc. They don't have the Christian morality (or human rights protections) to stop them from experimenting.

"China's Grand Plan to Take Over the World" (Forbes)

Appears you're going to have to look this one up yorself as archive.is, .st, and .fo are swamped. Good read, though.

Apparently, they want their global domination wrapped up by 2050, the 100 year anniversary of the Chinese Communist Revolution.

Meanwhile, the West is rehashing slavery and bickering about pro/anti gay bullshit.

time on your hands to worry about complete and utter bullshit.

Some people think deeply about their media environment others are content to float like a turd in a sea of shit. lol. Anyways, do feel free to stalk and follow and harass me. I welcome all trolls both rl and online. <3

If it's obvious to me...must be getting obvious to others. How many commercials, movies, shows, etc where the White male is a total doofus being corrected by Black or minority female, etc, do they need to shove in our faces before people get sick of it and tell the businesses to fire their fkn marketing team? Etc. I send emails but who tf is listening? At this point when I see a competent White male...anywhere...on any media type...I'm surprised and happy.

Well, if we had media outlets worth a single lump of dogshit, one of the most obvious implications would be that our government is run by corrupt people who have those silenced / killed that seek to expose their corruption. What exactly that corruption is...remains to be seen.

Nub here but someone said that Wikileaks insurance was never released because...some reason.

"release the craken!!!"

All that.

I thought the contents were released after Assaunge was arrested and that they were CIA hacking tools in the release and they were used in WannaCry?

That WannaCry-type events don't happen more often is...weird to me. Anyways, were the contents of Wikileaks dead man switch released or not? Thanks. Some of you here are doing heavy lifting and I appreciate your dedication.

That we have very few options and a Trump presidency is a stop-gap and better than continued Biden rule?

Don't let the good thing (or even just 'not awful' thing) be the enemy of perfect.

We can do more than one thing at a time. We need people from all walks of life over here. Those that vote and those that make movies and those who are interested in...other ways of changing society.

https://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Metapolitics

Daniel Friberg has stated that "Metapolitics on the other hand refers to a kind of action aimed at changing the political tendencies of individuals, by changing the worldview of society as a whole. The strategy of metapolitics, as I outline in my book, originated with the work of Antonio Gramsci, an Italian communist who wrote a series of notebooks while in prison in Fascist Italy, in which he concluded that communism had failed in Italy because it had occupied itself too much with politics and not enough with culture. This insight led to the development of the Frankfurt School and all the epochal changes which that School brought. The strategies and the tools of metapolitics can and must be used by the Right as well, and this includes work on many different levels – everything from publishing the kinds of books that Arktos offers, to providing podcasts, articles and interviews like the present one, to having debates with your family and friends, to trolling on the internet. What is important is that everyone finds a way of joining the struggle, whether publicly or privately, to shift the present worldview."
