⫸STICKY⫷ The Delphic Oracle- Know Thyself: P&S Social Ampitheatre of Doom

yes but the group as a whole has less freedom cuz the dumb cunts have a say


over here, if you don't vote you get fined.

on another note, i have very strong suspicions that telepaths are not only among us but many are strategically placed to make use of their abilities. i have no proof of this, but some things are just bullshit with no other explanations. stuff you wouldn't believe.

i factor in my recognised levels of paranoia when i say shit like this.
 
hey, you're alright. :D


i don't care what everyone says about you when you're not around. =D

holy shit, i just had this maniac rabbling into my ear for twenty mins.

he was going on about how he wants the media and the world to recognise the nuclear fusion technology being developed by all other countries except australia is basing their technology on schematics that he developed and was forced to distribute to other countries and how it's a "crime against humanity" that neither he nor australia has received any recongnition and the fact that australia aren't willing to grant him a few dozen million dollars to cover the costs of a black hole physicist and another specialist to help him develop this and somehow he linked in that he can prove that einstein's special relativity theory is flawed and he explained how in that at half the speed of light time would be halved and a twin who travels to the nearest star will age rapidly rather than be younger and he explained all of this in minute detail without taking a breath.

i "talked" to him for almost twenty minutes.

he was interesting. that's why i talked to him for as long as i did, but he was a total loon!
Federal parliament ruled itself out of existence by refusing and failing to apply section 72 of the Australian Constitution and remove judges from the High court bench on the grounds of mental incapacitation so confirming, so accepting, by "IGNORING" the ruling by Chief justice Brennan of the High court of Australia, acting as the court of disputed returns re a 1996 bi-election, ruled the High court and the Australian legal system out of existence by ruling "the High court doesn't have jurisdiction over the Universes' laws of maths and physics". This ruling that the High court can't apply the laws of maths or physics, means it can't add, can't subtract nor count, was confirmed, so accepted, by Justice Kirby by his intentional "IGNORING"of my application to the Court of disputed returns, referred to him by Justice Gammow, re the 1998 Federal election.

This is written exactly how he talks.

i told him about the nuclear fusion stuff that happened in china last year, which he was unaware about, so i got his email addy and sent him some links.
 
so this guy has a copyright on any method of adjusting the speed of light up or down. lol

heres an affidavit supposedly related to that court case

AFFIDAVIT

I have given the heavyweights of the Big Bang theory, Stephen Hawking Prof., Martin Rees Prof., Kip Thorne Prof., Roger Penrose Prof., Paul Davies Prof., and many others chances. I gave them all the opportunity to move away from the Big Bang theory and maintain their credibility and reputations. I didn’t want conflict nor confrontation with these people. I don’t want to put these people down but the Big Bang theory has to go for I’ve proven it to be an idiots’ concept of the Universe. I wanted them all to move on. After 10 years I have been given no credit, recognition nor received remuneration for my work. This is directly due to these and other Scientists, Science journals, Universities and Media remaining silent regarding me and my scientific data. But now I am confronted with academic leeches, who should have publicly acknowledged my intellectual data at sometime over the last ten years, now plagiarizing my work with intent to steal. Paul Davies Prof. and others, whom I gave chances are now plagiarizing my work. I believe there is more to this than just plagiarism, a conspiracy to steal by America with Australia and Canada as its’ Bum Boys subjected to unsafe sex, with a minor involvement and ownership is more realistic. They obviously intend to steal my copyrights and Fusion engine worth large sums of monies over a long period of time, that’ll render petrol obsolete. For several years my Website containing my work is on the internet and listed on the prestigious Peer Directory in the U.K. that exists for physicists, scientists and Corporations worldwide to logon to: http://home.pacific.net.au/~t_rout

sounds like an interesting guy to talk to to me!

http://home.pacific.net.au/~t_rout/Plagiarized_copyright.htm

the media and universities are supposedly stealing his intellectual properties in order to get the fusion engine (which will replace petrol) all to themselves, these people include stephen hawking and roger penrose :p

"The dividing and multiplying by zero copyright" "The fusion spacecraft rocket engine that's designed to fuse 4 hydrogen atoms. "The use of altering of the speed of light down to deal with radioactive materials" "The general application of using and controlling the speed of light up or down. to make money"

well browse his site at your own amusement
 
Gawd the last post in here was two (2) yes TWO weeks ago - you bunch of unsociable ***** =D
 
I don't think I'd support a poll test like that.
It would just too easily be coopted to disenfranchise 'undesirable' groups.
That said, I resent the hell out of voters who don't know anything about the candidates besides McCain being a 'maverick' who was a POW in 'nam and Obama being a guy who will change everything in some vague way.

That Thiaooubia Prophecy thread makes me facepalm. Haven't seen a good P&S-style roast in some time. Poor dude.

"Visualizing the Bible"

A colorful rainbow brings to light the interconnected nature of one of the world's most familiar books.

The Bible's 1,189 chapters are plotted along the horizontal axis at the bottom of the image, with each bar's length determined by the number of verses.

The arcs above the graph show the 63,779 cross-references between each chapter.

Doesn't deserve a new post:

Maybe some 'rational' cognitive coping techniques are like religion on a smaller scale. I find it sometimes useful to think that if I feel bad right now, there will be a future where things'll be okay. Religion just extends this to all times and places.

heh...this is pseudo-profound...or maybe not even.
 
I don't really understand why religion and mental coping techniques are relevantly similar. What are the features they share that makes you compare them?

(stoned/interested :))
 
his post implied (to me):

coping techniques let you realize, things will be okay in the future of your life

religion lets you realize that things will be okay forever and ever, even after your life
 
^ I agree. I just can't decide if that's an aphorism or a platitude.

Speaking of which, does the English language have a word or phrase that means the opposite of 'coping mechanism' -- a way of thinking which acts as a tool on you to make you assume that things will NOT be okay in the future? Somehow I get the sense Robert Anton Wilson or the Discordians would have a thoughtful answer to this question.
 
qwe captured what I meant, pretty much. On second look, my declaration was pretty mundane and obvious, heh.

Perhaps something like "neurosis"...a cognitive mechanism that reduces functionality. But it would seem that you're looking for something more specific.

The closest thing I can think of would be a negative outcome bias, though it's not a single mechanism. Psychologically healthy people have a positive outcome bias, as we tend to overestimate the likelihood of good things happening to us. In other words, even though we've lived through a history of experiences where things we've deemed bad have happened to us at some average rate, we subtract from that rate as we project our lives into the future. Since cognitive errors regarding the future are essentially cognitive errors in the projection of past patterns of experience ahead, a wide range of cognitive errors associated with recognition of patterns in memory, and with the act of self-projection itself, could work together to establish a pattern of thinking that concludes things will NOT be OK in the future.

The opposite of coping is facing the facts in a way that is entirely accurate. Coping is how we alter our behavior towards stressful events as well as our interpretations of them in ways that reduce the associated stress; it's fundamentally a distorting process. If done too soon, squarely facing reality can be maladaptive. In fact, depressed people have the most "realistic" perceptions of a number of different things regarding themselves and their futures. Go delusion!
