Thanks for the summary- this got me to watch the video, and I’m glad I did. That story is crazy! And it totally rings true.

That was an interesting read- I did not know about the parallels between Faust and Agrippa.

For the record, the original Faust play was written by Marlowe. Goethe wrote his own version of the story later. In Marlowe’s version, Faust is not really a hero- he is making a mortal error by seeking occult knowledge. He gets dragged off to hell in the end.

A Course in Miracles has an interesting origin story. It was basically channeled by Helen Schucman, aided by William Thetford. From Wikipedia:

“ In 1965, at a time when their weekly office meetings had become so contentious that they both dreaded them, Thetford suggested to Schucman that "[t]here must be another way".[14] Schucman believed that this interaction acted as a stimulus, triggering a series of inner experiences that were understood by her as visions, dreams, and heightened imagery, along with an "inner voice" which she identified as Jesus”

The thing is, Thetford had ties to the CIA’s LSD program, so draw your own conclusions from that..

I’m not aware of any good ones. I think the issue is, you have to convert your model from an STL file, which is like a geodesic mesh, into a set of commands for the printer. If you have a crappy STL file, it doesn’t convert well and can jam your printer. I think going from a laser scan of an object to a “clean” mesh is pretty hard.

Check out Prusa printers. They’re the most low-maintenance I have found. I don’t have their most recent model, but I want one.

Progress hasn’t stalled, but the latest innovations tend to solve problems you only care about if you’re really into 3d printing- better bed leveling, the ability to print a part with multiple materials or colors, easier replacement of nozzles.

I think the misconception is that they’re meant as a replacement for buying plastic parts. They’re more geared towards people who want to design and build things.

Yeah, Ars used to have interesting articles about the intersection of law and technology. Now it’s like a SkyMall website with comments that are even worse than Reddit.

The psyops are deliberately transparent, because the goal is to create division. When people believe something completely insane, it makes others lose all respect for them and makes it more difficult to reach some kind of compromise.

You can already open an account at the Texas Bullion Depository, buy gold online, and have it shipped there. You pay storage fees. The digital currency looks to me like a way to make these deposits more liquid, so you can spend your gold.

As long as it’s fully backed and redeemable, it seems good to me, but could also be a stepping stone to a surveillance digital currency. The devil is in the details. Will the digital currency be permissionless or private? Can addresses be sanctioned?

Also interesting- the branding of bitcoin as “digital gold” seems to pave the way for this currency

Maybe you’re in an age bracket which makes you less of a credit risk. Sometimes the truth is boring.

Your first concern could be addressed with a multisig wallet. Basically, you can have a wallet act like an escrow account. For money to be released from the account to the receiver, two out of three people have to sign a transaction. So if sender and recipient agree, money is released. If not, a third party can settle the dispute. Darknet markets use this for dispute resolution

They actually fixed this with the latest version of Midjourney, so AI hands are about to get a lot better.

These are some watered down revelations. The truth behind some of these is much darker than what’s presented here.

I think the “digital dollar” is still being fought over. It could be a stablecoin like Tether or USDC becomes the most used “dollar” and there’s pressure to add more and more restrictions to it, but the people who want this are not a single, unified group.

Just look at Tether- a fake, unbacked dollar printed by a group who is not the Fed. And apparently it’s being used as currency in Argentina and a few other countries.

Exactly. You nailed it. The only shocking thing is how few people actually think for themselves.

Growing up, people used to tell me, “You think too much.” I have come to see that most people don’t really think at all. They don’t assess the news to determine whether it’s true or false. They simply look for clues about what everyone else thinks and does, and they expend all their effort trying to fit in and win approval.

That’s why propaganda works so well on them. It doesn’t need to sound true or convincing. It only needs to be pervasive.

They absolutely do the same thing to women. It’s most absurd when midwives refer to “birthing people”

There was a post on Hacker News about Apple’s noise canceling headphones causing tinnitus. Apparently a lot of people have this issue.

Maybe the same mechanism that underlies those patents is accidentally triggered by the noise canceling system?

This is an excellent observation, IMO, and it plays out in so many ways. Basically, evil hides behind a facade of corruption and incompetence. People are comfortable seeing the latter but not the former.

Made a mistake, it was Project West Ford, not operation. The Wikipedia article was sparse, and I can’t find anything relevant online. Maybe someone else is familiar with what I am talking about?

I think HAARP actually can cause earthquakes. I think Joseph P Farrell mentioned it in his book, “Breakaway Civilizations and Hidden Systems of Finance.”

Operation West Ford involved launching a billion needles into orbit around the earth to mitigate the effects of the Van Allen belts on satellites. The needles were the same length as the wavelength of whatever microwave radiation they shot at it, and it appeared to trigger an earthquake. I am not sure there is any public information about what that mechanism could be, but it is at least possible.

Also, one way to tell if weather warfare is going on is to look for large, “lucky” financial investments immediately before, and apparently people have found examples of this. Joseph P Farrell has written a lot of interesting things on the subject.
