My head canon regarding the matrix:

The machines didn't understand purpose as a core concept. They were built for a reason for humans but they themselves didn't grasp the notion of purpose. They were keeping humans around to attempt to understand the reason to do anything (and thus that became their purpose). This isn't unprecedented, it's a core theme of 'I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream', and a very relevant theme to the matrix as without purpose they'd be in a similar situation as the AM, a crying child with nothing to do but wail. The 'architect' was just brighter than that specific toaster.

Oh and while I'm on the topic, imo proof of the matrix's inability to understand purpose was presented in 2, when Smith had his initial post-mortem conversation with neo where among other things he thanks him for revealing the idea of purpose to him.
Yes! That's what I am talking about!

But why would allowing Hamas to slaughter more than 1,000 people help Netanyahu?

Is the idea that it would allow him to remain in power until the war is over? If so, this whole thing seems to have demolished his base of support so it has backfired.
Worked for W, although there I believe it was just pure incompetence.

I think most main line conspiracies don't hold up to real scrutiny.

I think the Secret Service purposely destroyed evidence on Jan 6th.

I believe the American Airlines crew that almost caused an accident by taxiing onto an active runway at JFK continued their flight for the sole purpose of recording over their cockpit voice recorder.

And I think Oswald did it. I've stood at the grassy null, no one shot a president from there and got away with it. I need to find it again, but there was an excellent documentary that went through and showed how the official story could've all happened, including the magic bullet, with real testing. I think it was on the History channel when they still had real content.

Naw. If you were developing a simulation, one of the things you have to decide is whether one can resolve quantum events or not resolve them. If it's possible to resolve them because you assume whatever life you're creating will be able to poke at it, you provide all of them. If the universe didn't divide by zero the first time we observed the atom being blown apart I don't expect it to happen at any point.
That's just faulty inference on so many levels.

After the last six years, I believe the Snappening was real only it took logic, common sense, empathy, and basic reasoning skills from half the population. They now think 2+2=97 because spray tan orangutan tells them so while flinging his shit at them and telling them it is roses petals they are smelling.

Destroy all guns!!!!!
Now that's even more extreme than I am. I'm all for that but in today's world that's impossible. Maybe in some future one, so to speak.

Ahem. In today's world, I'm for making gun ownership a thing of the past. Nobody should be allowed to "own" a gun. All guns should be rigorously administered.

Seems suspicious!


I think Epstein didn't kill himself, although I think a fair number of people agree with that.

It's pretty weird that Trump, a longtime, close associate of Epstein mentioned numerous times in his various records, controlled the prison where he died where the cameras mysteriously didn't work, he was mysteriously given extra bedsheets, and where the guards mysteriously decided not to check in on him at all. This was directly under Bill Barr, who also knew Epstein, and that he was arrested only after another Trump associate, Acosta, repeatedly attempted to hide Epstein's crimes and shield him from accountability.

Seems suspicious!
Seems suspicious??? He was officially under 24 hour watch, IIRC. I have never believed for a second that he hung himself.

Of course, the big one. I don't believe that Oswald did it alone. He was framed, posthumously.

Rob Reiner, I just saw a day or so ago, is joined by others in expounding on what happened on Nov. 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. They say 4, possibly as many as 6 assassins killed John F. Kennedy.

I think aliens exist, but they have the technology to study us from afar. They listened and watched a bit, and said "fuck that, let them kill themselves" and then decided to check back in 100,000 years or so.

I highly doubt they needed to anally probe some poor crazy bastards in person, unless they do that sort of stuff for fun.
nOOky you're kOOky!

I'm not sure Bibi really cares that much about Israeli people if it means he gets to stay in power longer.

It also took them 8 hours to respond. IMO Bibi wanted this as excuse to wipe out the Palestinians.

Remember he had information this may happen a year prior.
This was my take. Besides keeping his position, it'd entitle him (in his own mind) to level and bulldoze Gaza in order to expand Israel. He'd already been doing it bit by bit, neighborhood by neighborhood...he just got impatient and said bomb it all and drive them out or kill them.

Methinks Netanyahu did his risk-benefit assessment, factored in his personal beliefs and agenda, the amount of support he would lose from getting the war going. Most of all, he really wanted to get rid of Hamas once and for all and take permanent control of Gaza until he could set up a Palestinian gov't that was under Israel's control. That it backfired in the eyes of the world is something he knew was a distinct possibility yet was/is willing to take the heat in order to accomplish what I guess could be his version of the "final solution".

He's got a 10 part podcast (w/ Soledad O'Brien) about the assassination.

401Ks were created to make the stock market wealthier. Why are your investment options so ridiculously limited. It's my money to invest.
If you chart the creation of the 401K vs drastic increase in the wealth gap you will find those graphs intersect.

Epstein is worrisome. Cause if true then who the fuck has the power to pull that off and what else they have the power to do?
Whoever got him killed is doing worse things than Epstein. He was just a scapegoat and maybe he pissed off one of the shadowy elites. Far, far worse goes on in the world.

Thats deepstate cabal thinking my man. Cant do that. Need evidence before jumping that gun. I mean if that were true we would be obligated to hunt it down and kill it wouldnt we... For our kids right to freedom and all that.
So no, that kinda shit needs solid, with solid on top, proof of existence.

Greenman is really Trump and PCGeek a pseudonym of Trump
PCGeek is Barron, he's the one who is good at the cyber.


There is a non zero chance that we're living in a simulation and there is a non zero chance in that non zero chance that an exploit exists that will segfault the universe instantly.
Guys, for all we know our simulation crashes regularly. Once IT restores from backup we continue on with no knowledge anything ever went wrong. You think NPCs in games wonder what happened when your game crashes? In fact we go down for maintenance every Thursday.

Well that has been the case since the Quantum Eraser Experiment went public.

Every single time something collapses an entanglement of background-noise photons the entire universe flips on it's head and everything is rearranged according to new deterministic outcome.

Fortunately dizziness wears off over time.

Don't things collapse something like 40 times a second, every second? Not sure why people think they need 120/240 FPS when 60 is more than enough.
