@TheBrancaShow Yes, but that was also pre-2020 and the BLM psyop, from which large swaths of women still have not recovered.

George Zimmerman shot dead an unarmed Trayvon Martin who was punching him, and after weeks of trial a jury consisting largely of women and minorities unanimously found him not guilty of every charge against him. First time?

@iFightForKids You're such a disingenuous fat fuck. To use a gun in self defense, you need proportional response. I know that's a big word and you don't know what it means, but fists (especially when you're as big as Chud - he's not a small dude) are not proportional to a gun. Learn the law.

May 15th polar-motion update: DRIFT’s phase-stability diagnostics continue tracking residual polar-motion migration away from the historical manifold. Manifold departure (M) remains saturated (1.0 - expected), but the trajectory is gradually becoming less noisy (positive). The coupling stability index (C) has been improving slowly but steadily (0.890 to 0.883), and trajectory curvature (K) has similarly been relaxing (1.40 to 1.01). This increasingly resembles a coherent transition onto an alternative trajectory. The identified analogue families (1979, 2012, and 2019) present in the 54-year IERS record are scoring higher daily, meaning that the present is gradually resembling past departures more closely over time (positive). Rotation continues to follow an historically unusual, yet increasingly coherent journey. For newcomers: "DRIFT is a live monitoring platform for Earth’s polar motion, the gradual movement of the planet’s rotation axis relative to its surface. Rather than attributing this motion to assumed causes, DRIFT determines the geometric structure that the data itself necessitates. This results in a constraint-first perspective of a system that is surprisingly organised."

If you have the time and interest, I would love to see you create an article on X that consists of the comments and graphics you have shared about the Pole Shift Conference Penrose. I personally would love to have something I can share with others that includes all your summaries (and photos/graphics) in one cohesive place...

For years now a particular fascination of mine has been in studying the character traits that compel an individual to take an interest in catastrophism. While I wasn't alive for its heyday in the 1950s or 60s, and can't really speak to the nature of the people who bought first editions of Worlds in Collision, I have spent an inordinate amount of time seeking out the most fervent adherents of modern catastrophism and have noted similar world views, personalities and attitudes across geographies: ** This is the second thread in a series examining the first Pole Shift Conference, a five-day gathering held in Penrose, Colorado this May, headlined by Ben Davidson (@SunWeatherMan) and Roger Cunningham (@EthicalSkeptic ). Thread one, on the speakers themselves, here: x.com/stratdepth/sta…

You're equivocating on the definition of Tau. ECDO, as written, doesn't define a Tau period you sit inside for a year, it defines a Tau Point, a threshold at which "the core-mantle shear coupling gives way to a gyroscopically-mediated Dzhanibekov rotation. If the Tau point is the inertial interchange, then "we've been in Tau for a year without flipping" does not make sense, it's not a falsification, it's an error in categorization. You can't be at the transition and also not transitioning.

@stratdepth Two things you left out: ECD theory is easily falsified, and, as we are already magnetically decoupled (Tau) for a year (and we haven’t tipped over), ECDO is also not correct. Study impulse momentum as it relates to Dec/Mar hooks. African LLSVP shedding (into SAA) causes flip.

Which brings me to my second observation: if you genuinely want to know whether you're looking at a cult, watch the affect, not the content. Cults run hot. The emotional register inside them oscillates between manic certainty and tearful crisis, often within the same hour, in deliberate service of keeping members destabilized and dependent on the hierarchy. The room in Penrose ran almost comically cool. People discussed inundation depths over breakfast in roughly the same tone they discussed the coffee. There were no tears, no ecstatic conversions, no whispered fears in the parking lot, no preacher cadence from the stage and no altar call at the end of the weekend. What there was, instead, was an emotional baseline one almost never encounters in modern public life outside of military planning sessions and old farming families: people who have looked directly at the worst case, taken its measure, and gone back to working through next week's logistics. The contrast with the affect of mainstream institutional discourse, which has spent the last two decades cultivating performative panic about climate while quietly making no preparations of any kind, is genuinely disorienting the first time one realizes it. The people who have actually priced in civilizational disruption on an incomprehensible scale are calm, some even excited. For them this is not the apocalypse, it's the final boss of engineering challenges. The people quickest to label these ideas as pseudoscientific, those who have not given them even a moment of consideration, are the same people who, not so long ago, were lining up to inject themselves with liability-free pharmaceutical cocktails to manifest a few weeks of statistically insignificant benefit. Whatever else this community is, its emotional center of gravity sits closer to a Mennonite barn-raising than to anything Jim Jones or David Koresh ever managed to assemble. While none of them fit into easily definable boxes, everyone I met in Colorado demonstrated the exact opposite of the traits one would expect to see from the members of a cult: highly skeptical, suspicious of received wisdom, intellectually humble and comfortable sitting with uncertainty. If that's a death cult, somebody should tell the members. From where I sat, they all appeared to be having a perfectly nice weekend discussing oceanic temperature surveys, solar radiation, and geometric alignments, and not once did I see a pitcher of Kool-Aid being passed around.

This is one area in particular that I think is beginning to bear fruit, from the tree that is this sort of decentralized catastrophism research syndicate that has emerged online. Numerous approaches to modelling the physics involved, using a variety of tools, choreographed by brilliant minds and generous helpings of autism and nicotine, have resulted in some "pretty good ideas" about location. Those will be ideas we explore in another post, but suffice to say, when discussing and seeing these efforts by fellow attendees and observing the rigor, dedication and intellectual humility on display, one can only conclude that this is the most data-driven cult of all time.

Which brings me to my first observation: contrarianism, properly understood, is not a posture but a method, and Penrose was a master class in the difference. Cunningham’s entire intellectual project rests on a single deceptively simple discipline, the question that anchors his entire philosophical project: 'if I were wrong, would I even know it?” Davidson, for his part, has spent the better part of a decade absorbing professional ridicule and being branded the leader of a death cult for the unforgivable sin of taking the geological and mythological record at face value. By Roger’s own public admission, he and Ben agree on something on the order of 80-95% of the underlying framework. The disagreements over the weekend, such as they were raised, concerned mechanism, sequencing, and the choreography of disaster, rather than the existence of disaster itself. There was no theatrical posturing, no rhetorical ambushes, no attempt by either man to plant a flag on the other’s territory or preen for a sympathetic crowd. What there was, instead, was something far more endangered in modern discourse, two avowed contrarians, surrounded by a hundred attendees who had crossed oceans to be there, treating ego as a tax not worth paying and truth as the ultimate measure. If the institutions actually charged with this kind of inquiry conducted themselves half as well, none of us would have needed to gather in Colorado in the first place, although that would be a shame, because the state is spectacularly beautiful.

I arrived home and spent the weekend gathering my thoughts and ruminating after having attended the Pole Shift Conference, headlined by Ben Davidson (@SunWeatherMan) and Roger Cunningham (@EthicalSkeptic), in Penrose, Colorado. While the full breadth of what took place is impossible to adequately summarize in text, over the next few days I will outline my topline observations, from what up until this point, was the largest conference of it’s kind, ever.
