I still would like to be famous. Probably for selfish reasons. Being rich I dont care about, so much.
 Quoting: Light of my Little Left Eye



I'd hate it and no amount money or any material object, would make it worth it.

Fame can also happen much by accident or an embarrassing moment and become a viral meme that ruin people's lives. Or from crimes being committed and people dying.


The older I get the more I want to isolate myself from society/people completely. It's a clown show and we are slowly seeing the visible chains of our authoritarian future.

Re: The VOID
There was a moment yesterday after the school shooting, where I was scrolling through the photos, and I got to one that was taken from a helicopter. It was of a girl being put into an ambulance.

What made the photo bizarre is she was looking right at the camera. My initial read of her face and situation was her knowing how many people were currently looking at her in that state.

Her day started normal enough. Now her face is everywhere for day. Sad.

Thread: Hospital Privacy Curtains Found Saturated with Deadly Superbugs

Hospitals are dangerous, deadly places, and new research finds that MRSA superbugs contaminate nearly 90 percent of hospital privacy curtains

"the research team tracked contamination rates for 10 newly laundered privacy curtains in the Regional Burns/Plastics Unit of the Health Services Center in Winnipeg, Canada over a 21-day period. Virtually contamination-free at the outset, by day 14, over 87 percent of the curtains tested positive for MRSA. Control curtains that were not put in patient rooms remained contamination free for the entire study period.

Interestingly – and scarily – none of the patients in the rooms where the curtains were tested had MRSA themselves. Instead, the contamination occurred on parts of the curtains that were frequently touched by caregivers and visitors, suggesting that it was this direct contact that was spreading the disease."

less than 50%

Thread: MSM: Superbugs pose greater threat than previously estimated

Drug-resistant bacteria and fungi cause almost 3 million infections and 35,000 deaths a year, the CDC reports.


Drug-resistant germs sicken about 3 million people every year in the United States and kill about 35,000, representing a much larger public health threat than previously understood, according to a long-awaited report released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The new estimates show that, on average, someone in the United States gets an antibiotic-resistant infection every 11 seconds, and every 15 minutes, someone dies.

Bacteria, fungi and other germs that have developed a resistance to antibiotics and other drugs pose one of the gravest public health challenges and a baffling problem for modern medicine.

Scientists, doctors and public health officials have warned of this threat for decades, and the new report reveals the top dangers and troubling trends. More pathogens are developing new ways of fending off drugs designed to kill them, and infections are spreading more widely outside of hospitals. No new classes of antibiotics have been introduced in more than three decades.

My doctor says we have maybe 5 to 7 years until antibiotics are useless.

A messiah claimant, he was the founder of the Unification movement (members of which considered him and his wife Hak Ja Han to be their "True Parents"), and of its widely noted "Blessing" or mass wedding ceremony, and the author of its unique theology the Divine Principle. He was an opponent of communism and an advocate for Korean reunification, for which he was recognized by the governments of both North and South Korea.

Re: The VOID
What is THE defining characteristic of a cult?


Psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton, who once taught at Harvard Medical School, wrote a paper titled Cult Formation in the early 1980s. He delineated three primary characteristics, which are the most common features shared by destructive cults.

1. A charismatic leader, who increasingly becomes an object of worship as the general principles that may have originally sustained the group lose power. That is a living leader, who has no meaningful accountability and becomes the single most defining element of the group and its source of power and authority.

2. A process [of indoctrination or education is in use that can be seen as] coercive persuasion or thought reform [commonly called "brainwashing"].

The culmination of this process can be seen by members of the group often doing things that are not in their own best interest, but consistently in the best interest of the group and its leader.

Lifton's seminal book Thought Reform and Psychology of Totalism explains this process in considerable detail.

3. Economic, sexual, and other exploitation of group members by the leader and the ruling coterie.

The destructiveness of groups called cults varies by degree, from labour violations, child abuse, medical neglect to, in some extreme and isolated situations, calls for violence or mass suicide.

Some groups that were once seen as "cults" have historically evolved to become generally regarded as religions. Power devolved from a single leader to a broader church government and such groups ceased to be seen as simply personality-driven and defined by a single individual. For example the Seventh-day Adventists, once led by Ellen White, or the Mormons church founded by Joseph Smith.

Ted Patrick

As one of the pioneers of deprogramming, Patrick used a 'confrontational' method:

When you deprogram people, you force them to think.... But I keep them off balance and this forces them to begin questioning, to open their minds. When the mind gets to a certain point, they can see through all the lies that they've been programmed to believe. They realize that they've been duped and they come out of it. Their minds start working again.

Look how many there are.

Huh.

 Quoting: Seer777


It was something that struck me in the Mormon Manson documentary. These men have 'visions' and then claim to be 'the messiah' or the chosen one.

His brother, the one he had killed, is still viewed in that manner in the group.


It just all seems so silly now. All of it. Devious too. The dissonance is gone though. I feel like I see it clearer now that I'm on the outside. At least for now.
 Quoting: Seer777


Why are some people's visions considered valid and true, while anyone else that claims that 'God talks to them in words' are considered raving lunatics with advanced schizophrenia?

What is the difference between the obviously insane, and Joseph Smith?

Re: The VOID
Is the illusion so much more comfortable than stark reality? Yes.

Will humans wither and die without belief in a meaning or reasoning to any of this?

Is it laziness or passing the buck to worship a 'leader' or messiah?

I notice the males claimants like going by some version of 'father'..


Is it the devious taking advantage of the gullible? Or do they really believe they are divine? And why would anyone believe them?

Are messiahs and saints the same?


I recall AGC saying all the saints were possessed and that is how they performed their miracles..

Also, the in exorcism is it usually the Holy Spirit that is ousted and leaves a hole for any spirit to haunt.

Does asceticism lead to activation? Or possession?
