When I got the chance to interview Roger Penrose, I had a choice: spend the time making it understandable or trust my audience to come together.

Using a Discord server, they are now annotating the entire episode as an actual community. Love these folks:

drive.google.com/drive/mobile/f…
We may have a quirky show, but I have the world’s best audience bar none. I’ve been holding spontaneous group voice chats w/ folks from all over the world to help catalyze community.

If you‘re struggling alone with our material, don’t! Join your tribe: discord.gg/zqqMD6
If...and that is still a big ‘if’....this can be shown to work, it changes everything. We can finally get out of the shallow end of science and talk about the hard stuff that will give you chills: K-theory, Berezin quantization, Atiyah Singer theory, Spin(10) GUTs, Donaldson thy.

In the 1990s a small group of us tried to sound an alarm: a new class of US university administer and professor had arisen. These folks did not consider themselves to be primarily American so much as global citizens.

And China was our new, helpful and sometimes generous friend.
Underpaying scientists to produce a public good openned the door to China. China is smart.

Not us. Can you imagine feeling entitled to hire a post-doc with a decade of highly technical post-secondary training for <100k where a spouse is lucky to get a job in a neighboring state?
I’d have done exactly what China did in their shoes. They would have been crazy not to! We were giving away our research universities coked up on cheap labor disguised as students, apprentices and trainees. We were begging to be spied on under a spell of post-national delusions.

I just don’t understand this. This is occurring to you in 2020?? This compulsory intergenerational transfusion was initiated 28-48 years ago depending on how you want to count.

You are getting to this now. Here’s what happened: *3* generations below the Boomers are checked out.
We‘re now in our 20th year of US presidents born in the summer of 1946 at the very *beginning* of the baby boom with 8 more years of a boomer president born later with 4 more years likely. The Fortune 500 average CEO age has risen something like 1 year per year for over a decade.
Almost every research university shows the same pattern:

A) Sky high tuition increases
B) Huge increases in administrators
C) Decrease in permanent faculty
D) Foreign labor hired as ‘students’
E) Near certainty it’s president was born before 1964.

It’s the best joke. At scale.

I’m not delusional here. As anyone who follows this feed knows, I’m far more interested in the issue of ending “The Truman Show” than in who becomes president. There are three candidates that challenge the party leadership: Tulsi, Yang & Sanders. Yang has only one possible path.
It is very simple. The MSM and DNC have been VERY effective at killing off the sense he *can* win. For Yang to take off, he would need to ride a wave of preference falsification. For example, if he did twice as well as expected for a while, the polls would become suspect to all.
I don’t see this for Tulsi, and Sanders has already ridden such a wave from 2016. So the question is simple.

Q: Are enough Yang supporters:

A) Invisible to Polls

and/or

B) Contingent on realism concerns

and/or

C) Lying about supporting Biden/Sanders Warren.

I don’t know.

Now we embark on Carl Munck’s Video 3/3 “The Code”
So far we have looked at the code system with its Pyramids, Mounds, Maps & Numbers.

It is a complex message hidden in plain sight.

Hidden in numbers, which in general people don’t like.

Image
Also people can assign meaning to numbers that actually mean something else.
The ancient science of Gematria (an Assyro-Babylonian-Greek system of alphanumeric code or cipher) generates rational nos such as 144 & 432 considered sacred, but others such as 54, 96 are not gematrian.
Some of these holy gematria numbers eg 144 in the grid position of certain Pyramids eg Egypt’s Bent Pyramid & the smaller El Kula Pyramid. But Why?
It is currently unknown.
In Jewish gematria 144 means light. See gematrix.org
If they do mean light why are they not lit? ImageImageImage

Good morning everyone! We resume at 11am today with formal house business, so the Bill and all the amendments will begin at about 11.30am. Tune in here: parliament.nsw.gov.au/Pages/lc-webca…
We are starting the day with yet more amendments. I have had a cup of tea and the clerk is photocopying and we are now into ‘which amendment is replacing which on the tracking sheet’.
We are on amendment 155, which is the same or very similar to 106E. This is the ‘person born alive’ after a termination. Niall Blair is moving, and has worked with Damien Tudehope on this. As he says- this is what already happens now, and only codifies what we already do.

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
