today i learned... (this is crazy lol)
Pirate Wires@PirateWires
The Atlantic’s infamous “Why Do Rich People Love Quiet?” article, by 2023 Pulitzer Prize Finalist Xochitl Gonzalez, argued essentially that silence is classist and ethnocentrist, and that being Puerto Rican apparently justifies creating an undue racket... even if it clearly bothers people. But quiet is good, argues @gb_rango, and you shouldn’t get to disturb the peace just because you’re an immigrant. Here, the case for American peace and quiet, and why we’ll never get there without assimilation (and technology) 👇

A history of American noise, with details that surprise and delight — my new piece for @PirateWires on the never-ending struggle for Peace & Quiet:

@RealIanBotes @MizThatch not reading all that my dawg but enjoy the comfort of your foolish certainty and associated Explanations

Shopify does not use our methods
We have custom built frameworks to engineer behavior similar to the ones used by political advisors and world leaders to control collective vote at massive scale
Calling our methods "shopify" coded, kind of just proves my entire point about the low intellect thing
Generic marketing does not do what Im talking about
And the saddest part, is that you ignored the entire thing I said in step 4
You clearly live in an echo chamber where your list of beliefs are constantly being reaffirmed, which means you're not going to change your mind because your confirmation bias is too strong
The Narrative Cycle is about 12-18 months
Meaning, unless you're outside your echo chamber being exposed to contradicting ideas for at least 12-18 months, you're not going to change your mind no matter how much contradicting evidence you are shown
How do you think I retain clients? Using the same mechanism
So this debate is pointless, because again, you're a victim of step 2 - You have an idol you are attached to on a psychological level that nobody can prove does not exist and vice versa, so you cannot lose an argument, since your argument is entirely in your head with no tangible proof besides anecdotal claims and random messages in a 2000 year old book
Regardless, I wish you well, hope you enjoy your day, and genuinely if you find comfort is believing in God, then I encourage to continue doing that, as I see the appeal from an objective point of view

Bryan Johnson will eventually, through rigorous exploration and testing, arrive at the correct experimental conclusion that Christ is the only path to defeating death

I've been praying the past few weeks. Unsure why. There's good evidence behind prayer. It mimics breathwork, calming the nervous system, dropping cortisol, and quieting the brain. Daily prayers show lower depression, anxiety, and pain. I'd like to develop a prayer practice. Growing up, the protocol was written for me. Explaining whom to pray to, the structure of the prayer, and the boundary conditions. I don't really know how to pray now.

@RealIanBotes @MizThatch you're right bro, CS Lewis was just low IQ and fell victim to shopify-brained pop psychology. thank you for the insight

@gb_rango @MizThatch I run a $2M brand, we used these mechanisms to sell products and ideas on a regular basis
I know how religion works and why it's an indoctrination, because I use the exact same 4 things to get people to pay me insane amounts of money
Study actual social programming

@RealIanBotes @gb_rango Are ya familiar with CS Lewis? Isaac Newton? Blaise Pascal…?

The quality of animation you can create on your own is truly amazing. We really are just limited by our imaginations at this point. Go tell your story! Made in @runwayml in a few hours and a handful of gens.

NEW: Rep. Tim Burchett says the first drop of UFO files is a "drop in the bucket" compared to the "Holy Crap" moment that is coming. "The 1st drop will be big but in comparison to what is coming they will be a drop in the bucket. I would say “Holy Crap” is coming," he said. 162 files were released on Friday, some of them dating back 80 years. The following footage was from an infrared sensor aboard a United States military platform in 2013, according to the Department of War.

The political cartoonist sketches out his scene. It appears amateurish, pointless, crude. Maybe the caricatures are not histrionic enough? He has already stuffed it with crass allusions and all of the proper symbolically charged objects: bells, crosses, flags, money bags, &c.
Suddenly, the solution is obvious. “WAR,” he writes. “GREED… POVERTY… PREJUDICE… FEMINISM…” He grins at the finished product and revels in his rhetorical power, certain that even the least thoughtful and literate person to see his work will be slapped across the face by its unassailable correctness.

He got positive feedback from "ICE is acting like a criminal organization," which has here become "ICE is a criminal organization," and is soon to become "those not acting against ICE are criminally associated," and so on, because the politically useful version is identity (abstract, flexible) rather than events and individuals (concrete, addressable).

"Wow" is right. ICE is a criminal organization. As governor, I'll prosecute them like one.

I am aghast. After hundreds, if not thousands, of public displays of blatantly un-Christlike behavior, it is this last such display which has caused me to suddenly realize that Mr. Donald Trump’s primary concern is not with acting Christlike. He may, in fact, be nothing like Christ at all, a point which I should note as my own personal insight and bring up constantly.

Joy Behar: “Jesus himself did not run around saying, ‘I’m the Messiah, I’m the Messiah.’” Alyssa Farah Griffin: “Ehhhhh.” Sara Haines: “That’s exactly what Jesus said, ‘I am the Messiah!’” Joy Behar: “No, he did not! Jesus was more modest than that. Listen I knew Jesus, okay?” *Women of The View Laugh* Joy Behar: “Jesus was not narcissistic like this guy.” Sara Haines: “When you’re actually the Messiah, it’s not narcissism to say it!” Joy Behar: “Yes, it is.” Sara Haines: “When you are the Messiah?!” Whoopi Goldberg: “I’m going to move this along because this is like-, it’s too much for me.”
