Cognitive Dissonance Danger




Cognitive Dissonance Danger, you know the drill:avoid contact if you cant handle the truth.

Subject the battle between Nihilism and organization.
The Nihilist are winning, and wining by billions. But its the organalizist that are reaping all the rewards. The organized ones are manufacturing Nihilist. It is the perfect divide and conquer.

Tom thought about changing his interface and it happened, his level of augmentation was in now in God mode.  He was now able to switch all his senses to a quantum computed dream zone where the owner was the architect of his own game. Players using a simple sandbox could travel through others prescribed adventure or with a few menu choices create their own dream masterpiece  like  their metaphor for Falling Water or the Eiffel Tower.

The company on a payment plan of just $1000 per month upgrade the sensory interface and antenna. Its a very organic biological solution, the designer called it the God Organ. Regretfully he retracted that characterization late.  Most still called it that in particular Pastafarians like Tom.

Level one content only allows the user to play single player or locally networked games. Then it was extra to travel to the  Alternative Earth You web access. Exclusively allowing an infinite number of players to meet up for an infinite number of experiences. Live  God level was huge  upgrade over Angel.  Angels experienced as a viewer, Gods as a participant. Angels would watch athletes and Entertainers perform in the third person, Gods was purely fist person, though you could toggle if one wanted to watch oneself. Good friends often bonded over the shared experience of feeling a historical event as star of its  creation. Alternative Earth You  owned Billions of people intimately  sharing a common experience that is transformed into a replayable searchable benchmark in the zeitgeist.

This week it being the auspicious date, the hundred birthday of a star. Tom has purchased Angel level hit I am sitting on Keith Richards guitar and he is shaking it so I hard, Tom is riding a roller coaster. like piloting a fighter plane, while the crowed roars and screams, just as real as your best dream upon command.

Tom was way over budget  for Alternative Earth You this month. His wife Jerry would not be happy, but they would not be the first couple pulled way beyond their means to an addiction that no one ever suspected would become a real world affliction.  That's what Tom was thinking about as he thought authorized the payment to the Bitcoin  collecting nemesis.  Tom always argued Philip K Dick when people said no one could have imagined the consequences a company like  Alternative Earth You.  To strengthen his case Tom always prefaced the central argument with some historical evidence.

"knowing what we know now about 911 its not hard to imagine powerful people trying to create an alternative reality. My favorite is Condelezza Rice. The National Security Advisor was appointed to be the sharpest point on the spear, or was She.  In one of history greatest gaffes Secretary Rice  reassures the nation that "no one could have imagined passenger aircraft used as missiles" 

Next to the Kennedy assassination 911 was the top argument arena. Tom usually purchased a Churchill Avatar rigged with all the options. The Oxford Debate world had many great purchase opportunities and Churchill was the most popular. The Roppongi neighbor hood was the zone where Tom earned his lively hood. 

It was not known as Roppongi for geographic reason. The real Roppongi is famous for having uncountable thousands of tiny bars, dioramas with  barely room for a dozen customers. It is famously said in Roppongi a Yankee fan can find a bar dedicated to Mickey Mantle fans from Omaha. Net Roppongi is a similar collection of esoteric bits.

If a pre company citizen saw Tom at the local legion on stage hotly debating with  any one of the millions of anti-conspiracy theory paid trolls, they would head straight for the dartboard.

In contrast even the least educated nihilist would sample a little of Churchill debating GWB over  the official  911 narrative. This was Tom working  on God level. People like Tom parlayed up for their Churchill Avatar, then got paid by trolling with acid or flower persuasion. Even without the company getting their slice it was a hard way ahead for most.

If his presentation was liked enough he would be contracted by the second to  content one the talking heads in the ongoing live debate. Angels would now see his Avatar behind the podium at Oxford debating the subject of the day. Angel mode was the popular choice for informed debate. A point of view voluntarily chosen by the surprisingly  few that preferred to be informed instead of taking a side in the argument. Without the bonus Tom got from uplifted  moments, the job would not be worth doing.

Being a AEY troll was a mercenary life. Contracts by the issue, bonus based on likes, popular trolla could get a very nice taste of the action just showing up on a public affairs site. Other trolls were of a less subtle license.

 Even though the Roppongi Group was very strict about advertising allowed into a Sandbox, Troller hackers could evade and invade a site and insert a influential persuasion element into an experience. Once they become your friend its easy for them to push you in their direction. All the big brands that remained put serious money into Alternative Earth You Trolls.   

Most governments denied using trolls and in Europe it was illegal for Political Parties to troll.  Users went ballistic if they caught a government troll, but just like lying the practice continued because it was proven to effective at getting elected.

Tom and Jerry went God level  live to Waikiki Beach a few days ago. Immediately they were approached by a pair of Troller Hackers offering them the Hawaii humanity could never imagine. Toms looked like Rachel circa Incredible Journey and comming on to Jerry Mel the roadwarrior.  In less time than a pirate banner add on the cheapest site is corrected,  the fake  Raquel and Mel were removed. For a little more users had the option to choose their execution.  The most popular choice were a variety of sword and shotgun eliminations. Tom did not troll hack , he had done it before but it was the lowest and least rewarding form of trolling.  Even a government troll could claim a higher purpose.

Tom and Jerry had a very nice income. He doing better than expected for a trolling Churchill Avatar.  Jerry a upper middle class of reward due too a content creator.  Jerry's niche sandbox was full of 18th century adventures. Her highest rated experience was called Shipwrecked sailor of the Spanish Armada. Like the experience Jerry loved and lived often in both Irelands. In 18th Century Ireland Tom may have faced alcohol addiction. In twenty first Century Canada less than ten percent of citizens would be reality impaired. It was much totally more healthy and more pleasant to abuse the stimulant opportunities that could be purchased from Alternative Earth You.  Modern citizens faced the most diabolical of addictions, themselves.

In addition to being an unremarkable  troll Tom was a Montreal Canadians Addict, The live buys where like crack. All the players sensory nerves are captured. Tom usually watched as the Captain, Alex Galchenyuk. With the Canadians once again being a powerhouse it was the worst possible time to fight his form of Addiction.  They were spending over thirty grand a month on the internet.

Jerry with her classic low narcissistic  profile  preferred more time on the reality side. Of course they had many adventures together but forking out to the company for God class  at a hockey game. even a playoff game,  was not her idea of  money well spent.

Tom like most suspected a shadow government used price controls to keep  price of the best experience beyond the resources of the many. Tom like the few actually cared about it.  Jerry would roll her eyes and point out the government warning every time you switched on recommended no more than three hours out of your body in a single day. Everyone ignored the warring.  None of the cases before the court had  found Alternative Earth You  responsible for any of the consequences of their service.

Tom had tried quitting the Canadians before, watching from the cheap seats or even with those who could not pay for an implant. Even if he chose some games from the Chockula decade it was no use. Five seconds of the game action and he tweaking his way to the suspension pool, thinking his way to upgrade. In a nano second Rocket Richard had reviewed his credit and psyche profile before asking him with eyes fully blazing to authorize the upgrade, and there you go. So it goes So it goes.

Jerry came home at nightfall after a day of walking her Irish backgrounds, ready to metaphorically kill Tom if he was looking in  Alternative Earth You. She found Tom just as she expected lying there like a character from Alerted States completely submerged in the suspended animation chamber, breathing tube in and arms and legs flailing madly . She checked the settings, his heart rate was over 130 at least he had the game set on high.  Tom was living hockey history. The most expensive hockey experience is Paul Henderson Game 7 Canada Russia 1972.  Suddenly Tom was alone. devoid of sense and sensation.  The unit fails to clean and dry him so quickly he springs through the hatch.

"Jerry you can give a guy mental problems yanking him out of the game like that, I was just working out"

Jerry replies " What the hell is wrong with working out with yesterdays game for free?"

Tom wishes he was Churchill.

"I Can't Get No Satisfaction" by Bjork and P.J.Harvey

Starbuk was an angel and 29 was a stopper


I am singing that love song again
You know my belle
I would change the universe
on its axis
making positive negative
and gravity just a
talking point thing
If I could capture
your heart again
and feel your
angel pulse beating against
my soul as well
together not quite sweaty
Some kind of glistening
I will always remember
your skin
Not meeting the threshold of wet
no a magical kind of moist
a mucous layer of love conformation
yet not by any means dry
It was some kind of CGI anomaly
that I saw with my loving eye.
Who do! Who do you want?
Who knows what the future brings
Who does I have to conceive
Like Jesus
to make you want to believe
That all my many bad decisions
were all given to make

the humanity succeed
but my goal was always
to give you more than I receive
I want you
cause my religion and resurrection
would be hell
if I was not putting
my mind into
yours as well
So BSG like
Starbuck arriving
on ancient earth
and not feeling well
she apparently went
to heaven
but me and my blu ray
went to hell.

no fracking way !

Star Trek was cancelled by Communism

We can do it all today
we do not need no
stinking future
but why not?
Cause some rich ass holes

like living like Gods
and it admit it
we are wired that way
but the Star Trek system
which I believe
the educated will call
communism is the answer


Probe the people in the barrio

they are happier and more content
than those living in glass towers
on the top floor
with glass walls
and guilty conscience


Communism has never actually been tried

democracy has been
and it Germany it seems successful;
but with tech
it will be obsolete
so we will need a new model

Consumed

Going Global!


I apologise to everyone if I fucked up this message
but you should know one thing in this exchange
my message was from GOD!!

Global Love Think Tank
my first post
think tank cherry broke
what do the remains
look like
something non partisan
something from the heart
some kind of intelligence
that cant be measured
on a pie chart

Thinking about love
on a global scale
is scary science
way worse than economics
at least those parishioners
have word equations
upon which they can
wail
love is an emotion
so far no scale
null established analytics
of push back
expect the opinion of the
mentally challenged doctors
who work on the fringes
of humanity
because although
every human who is self aware
thinks they are the crazy one
its not really true
we just understand the world
or get lost in consumptive irritation
 thinkaboot something bigger
than ones self
usually to no avail but
its a journey we are compelled
to make
and no one
can fake

The greatest quote about love
ever comes from the late great
and largely unlamented
genius Warren Zevon
Love you cant start it like a car
and you cant kill it with a gun
and that's the problem
with analytics
and measurement
that defines our life today
there is no place for love
in the calculation

Hate on the other hand
is factored in daily
with increasing scoops
of false news breaking
upon every shore
even those like the Japanese
who thought they had
build a barrier to the
tsunami
but got Fukushima's
endless lifetime

Fact is fact and most people
do not realize what they know
as a matter of fact
its so easy to begin
so hard to end
its easy to destroy
so hard to build
its so easy to hate
and so hard to love

I love this mother fucking bad assed world
and I have seen most of its best parts
and a few of its toilets
and can never decide
who made the mess
and who should provide
three ply tissue
to the global single ply
divide

Call me a fascist super state
socialist meritocracy supporter
but I love Singapore
and in the Global think tank love
scale of my imposition
they would come out number two
in any decision
if you wanted to raise people
from misery to Trump status
they would be number one

When my number come up
and I have lived this life
its not just a supposition
if I have to choose from my
polyglot passports and the kick backs
I get from being a citizen of the world

I am a Canadian
and my Canada contains  Quebec
there is no doubt in my mind
that the Anglos who rule the planet
have kept Quebec behind
because they could not speak
the language of diplomacy
let alone
 hear the amour

In my humble opinion
if I think tank love
I know Austria
is the best
but it may make
me a racist too
cause I love my people
and we have a system
if all is not in ordung
red flags all the day
and some fires
you can not put
out with social
justice

Just want to qualify
Austrian are totally empathetic
and love the world more than the
Germans at least
its a culture the whole world
should embrace
In Austria if you loose
your loose change
it will come back
to you with interest

I can speak many languish poorly
but have learned that what they
say is as important as the swordsman
facing the word
if you want to defeat
humanity
or get laid

We have many think tanks in this world
very well funded and pushing us
to forget about the ozone layer
or anything relevant
to human survival
and still omnipotent
so are the Fraser Institute, Heritage fucks, American Prosperity Institute
and a billion other tax break mouth breathing mother fuckers of this planet
going for some long term plan
that culls the herd
they have been practicing
there for so many centaurs
they have grown weary
of humanity
and seek a final sustainable solution
where the head are essentially in jars
and the robots live
viciously tier one life on Mars
or skiing down the slopes of Everest
from the top
but what happens when they get bored
War
pedophilia and the lash
JJ captured this perfect
in Game of Thrones

Can we fight our biological DNA
that is the question I want to answer
at Global Love Think Tank
because I sincerely believe
we are what we eat
and we exist as we think

Close encounter on Pluto


Near-true-color image of Pluto taken by New Horizons spacecraft on 13 July 2015. On 14 July 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft became the first spacecraft to flyby Pluto. During its brief flyby, New Horizons made detailed measurements and observations of Pluto and its moons.

Pluto was discovered in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh, and was originally considered the ninth planet from the Sun. After 1992, its status as a planet fell into question following the discovery of several objects of similar size in the Kuiper belt. In 2005, Eris, which is 27% more massive than Pluto, was discovered, which led the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to define the term "planet" formally for the first time the following year. This definition excluded Pluto and reclassified it as a member of the new "dwarf planet" category (and specifically as a plutoid). Some astronomers believe Pluto should still be considered a planet.

The Industrial Workers of the World


The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), members of which are commonly termed "Wobblies", is an international, radical labor union that was formed in 1905. The union combines general unionism with industrial unionism, being a general union itself whose members are further organized within the industry of their employment. The philosophy and tactics of the IWW are described as "revolutionary industrial unionism," with ties to both socialist and anarchist labor movements. The origin of the nickname "Wobblies" is uncertain.

The IWW promotes the concept of "One Big Union", and contends that all workers should be united as a social class to supplant capitalism and wage labor with industrial democracy. They are known for the Wobbly Shop model of workplace democracy, in which workers elect their managers and other forms of grassroots democracy (self-management) are implemented. IWW membership does not require that one work in a represented workplace, nor does it exclude membership in another labor union. (read more)

A Noble Man - R.I.P.


Omar Sharif (born Michel Demitri Chalhoub 10 April 1932 – 10 July 2015) was an Egyptian actor. His films included Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Doctor Zhivago (1965) and Funny Girl (1968). He was nominated for an Academy Award and won three Golden Globe Awards and a César Award.

Sharif's first English-language film was in the role of Sharif Ali in David Lean's historical epic Lawrence of Arabia in 1962. This performance earned him a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture, as well as a shared Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year – Actor. Casting Sharif in what is now considered one of the "most demanding supporting roles in Hollywood history," was both complex and risky, as he was virtually unknown at the time outside of Egypt. However, notes historian Steven Charles Caton, Lean insisted on using ethnic actors when possible to make the film authentic.

monument to the flying saucer


The Space Needle is an observation tower in Seattle, Washington, a landmark of the Pacific Northwest, and an icon of Seattle. It was built in the Seattle Center for the 1962 World's Fair, which drew over 2.3 million visitors, when nearly 20,000 people a day used its elevators.

Once the tallest structure west of the Mississippi River, it is 605 ft (184 m) high, 138 ft (42 m) wide, and weighs 9,550 tons. It is built to withstand winds of up to 200 miles per hour (89 m/s) and earthquakes of up to 9.1 magnitude, as strong as the 1700 Cascadia earthquake. It also has 25 lightning rods.

The architecture of the Space Needle is the result of a compromise between the designs of two men, Edward E. Carlson and John Graham, Jr. The two leading ideas for the World Fair involved businessman Edward Carlson's sketch of a giant balloon tethered to the ground and architect John Graham's concept of a flying saucer.

monkeys with guns



"We are buried beneath the weight of information,


which is being confused with knowledge,


quantity is being confused with abundance


and wealth with happiness.


We are monkeys with money and guns."
