Social Media Swamp Monsters
Okay, anyone who checks these forums, I can't shut up about the Charlie Kirk case.. However, neither can Bret! Ha! take that ;-). It's not that I ever cared about Charlie before he was asssinated, it's more that his story diagnoses the system. To figure out what is true about this murder uncovers multiple layers of collusion/fraud/corruption whatever you want to call it. Just like Covid, some stories diagnose the system.
The psychological warfare against dissent
If you are in need of a good read, I suggest you check out Bret's posts on X. Because he also has questions in regards to the narrative we are being told surrounding Charlie Kirk's death, he is setting off a crazy immune response reaction from the swamp creatures that lurk on social media. There is a massive effort to discredit, destroy, inflict harm on anyone with credibility that asks the most basic questions surrounding Charlie Kirks death. That in itself is very telling. It's my own personal opinion that if we do someday figure out what happened to Charlie, we might also understand what happened in Butler, PA back in July, 2024
Cognitive DoS – Poisoning the Conversation
I’m coining a new term (unless someone already beat me to it): Cognitive DoS.
As a software developer, there is a concept known as a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. Essentially, it’s when you have a bot army of sorts, flood a server with requests, overwhelming it and causing it to temporarily shut down. I think what we see on social media today, is analogous to that.
What I’m noticing is that Bots, influencers, media personalities, outrage artists, fact checkers, counter-fact checkers, counter anti-fact checkers, and the endless troll armies, are all working together to discredit anyone talking about a sensitive topic, such as mRNA shots or Charlie.
I think we’re watching a Cognitive DoS play out in real time around Charlie Kirk’s death. The objective is to simply burn you out and make you never want to talk about it ever again. If possible, politicize it, make it a “Right wing” conspiracy theory. Because, after all, you don’t want to be one of those people.
Regardless of your thoughts on the topic, the really imporant thing is noticing patterns. How to insulate yourself from outside influence operations. I made the analogy on X about how all my friends were obsessed with “Only Murders in the Building” but yet they absolutely despise anyone questioning/mentioning this case
We have "cartesian blinders being put on us so that we are trying to make sense out of scraps of information and hints." - @bretweinstein
WEINSTEIN: I mean, even if you have your villains who are engaged in the behavior that motivated this war in Iran, even if that's the story, presumably most of the people in the path of these ferocious bombings that he is describing are not deserving of going back to the Stone Age.
In fact, I distinctly remember him telling us that part of what we were up to was liberating the people of Iran from their tyrannical regime.
So if it's the tyrannical regime that justifies the ferocious bombing, then it's a tragedy that other people are going to be sent back to the Stone Ages with them. Right?
HEYING: It's it's not a narrative. It's an incoherent set of talking points.
WEINSTEIN: Yeah, it's a kind of cheerleading that is completely inappropriate from the perspective of the president.
Bret Weinstein discusses the Trump administrations "back to the stone age" recent remarks in the latest episode of The Evolutionary Lens, Episode 320 "Are we back in the stone age?" on DarkHorse.
Bret Weinstein explains, "If you stop businesses from starting here, and if you drive people so that they move elsewhere—even though it's difficult to do—then the point is the tax base dries up, which then forces you to become even more predatory for the people who stayed.
And that's really the thing, right? They're setting themselves up so that they have to go after more and more people, because the people who are starting new businesses are not going to do it here."
What Really Happened to Jordan Peterson?
I can't say Jewish Mafia, ChatGPT refuses to revise my work.. So I say Italian Mafia
(disclaimer: Yes, I realize that I could do a search/replace for Italian with Jewish, but I think the fact that I can’t say it to begin with is interesting)
(Referencing the screenshot of Harley Pasternak’s text to Kanye West)
This is the text message Kanye West famously shared from his personal trainer. Kanye famously started crashing out around 2022, claiming that the music industry was controlled by an “Italian” mafia. He wasn’t the first person to make allegations along those lines. Similar claims about organized crime and powerful networks influencing Hollywood and the music industry have been made by other public figures over the years, with Mel Gibson being one of the most well-known examples.
Although their antisemitic remarks were regrettable, I don’t think it makes sense to dismiss every allegation outright because of the offensive things they later said....
Bret and Heather discuss data centers, surveillance cameras, and the Cartesian Crisis.
Do Americans dislike data centers because they’re bad for us, or because foreign agents want us to dislike them? The NYT and Alethea say that foreign agents are creating content made to look home-grown that is not, but the support for the arguments is weak.
Meanwhile, the high-voltage lines going up near people’s homes could have the aesthetic and—more important—health costs mitigated if those lines were put underground, due to the potential to insulate the magnetic fields.
Also: Flock cameras are going up all over America. The stated goal is to track license plates, but our privacy and civil liberties are at stake. The Flock CEO compares those who are taking out Flock cameras to antifa, and Bret introduces a new idea: They Don’t Actually Give a Shit About Us.
