posted this morning: you may have heard about the tornado situation in kentucky. in my friends town like 70 homes were destroyed. its not much but we are selling some stuff here to raise money for it. we’re like 30% of the way to todays goal here already (~$1100). check it:
hello i will now tell you things that i know about kentucky to raise awareness for our little micro operation here

did you know kentucky has an esoteric connection with japan (its real). in fact colonel sanders went to japan many times (did u know this)
in fact although i can not find my own photos or the tweets at this time, on one esoteric americana roadtrip i went to the grave of colonel sanders. it is tucked away in the back of this nice cemetery. notice anything interesting here btw
thank you for dispensing this epic lore my friend
there is much esoterica regarding the kentucky japan connection. for example technically KFC in japan was formed with mitsubishi (zaibatsu moment), who at least recently, later, took over KFC in japan. this makes sense as KFC is technically a luxury brand
[vouched]

we are about 80% of the way to today's goal

✉️ there are 15 packs left

you hear stories like, person retires then dies very soon after. sometimes this is presented as loss of purpose, or tragic coincidence. my personal theory is the body never takes time “off” to heal so too much “backlog” builds up, then it hits all at once the second you slow down
this also explains the phenomenon of someone taking time off or going on vacation or finally taking a weekend and suddenly getting sick. seems like the universe playing a joke on you. “i never get sick, and im sick now, on my time off”. well, yeah, exactly. not a coincidence.
if a guy has a crazy huge presentation at his job, his mind can tell his body to push getting sick off until after it - or, someone in a situation where they “can’t” get sick usually won’t (this also happens often, once you notice it). apparently people can do this for decades.

the integration of AI and childhood education will progress unhindered unless there is a compelling, easily explainable, and intuitive reason for it to be hindered. below is an extreme example - a fully AI school, but this will be integrated into normal schools.

unless... [...]
unless there is a competing model that fully bars its integration. right now it's very easy for us to be online and laugh about this or dismiss it as openly ridiculous, but as the tech advances and becomes normalized, this will not not be enough to stop it. there's no "reason".
concerns about glitches in the tech will eventually dissipate or be confined or solved somehow, and you're going to left standing there while every classroom or school district has an AI component that has replaced some level of normal education.

so, what's the competition?

most people have no idea how psychoactive alkaloids work. why would they? i love coffee. look at this chart: if you drink coffee, after 500 minutes, the caffeine is still there. many people experience this feeling as anxiety. theyd never connect it to a cup of coffee 10 hours ago Image
ingesting substances can be modeled with an attack, decay, sustain, release model. each of these phases feels different. this is true for everything from psychedelics to caffeine. my contention is that many people experience the sustain and release period here as ambient stress: Image
they drink coffee. the attack period is what they want, thats good. the decay is fine. the sustain is way longer than they think. they “forget” about the coffee, but are “coming down” off it for hours. they look for an explanation for this feeling and never make the connection. Image

along the way in my research, people say there are journals found after mens deaths where they describe successfully turning metals into gold, and then mostly using the money to lay low, live comfortably, and give to charity. this has probably happened independently several times
the issue with alchemy at the time, at least in europe, was the procuring materials, equipment, hiding it, and the expense and time involved in inevitable failures. however once you had success (my opinion) you had no reason to reveal it. it would make you a type of slave.
in ‘refiner’s fire’ the author puts forth a model of a type of hermetic folk culture native to parts of europe and places descended from england - this involving alchemy, counterfeiting, and something like the celestial arts - basically magic, the stars, looking into stones, etc.

a large component of new age is a kind of neo-shamanism. this centers around connection to ancestors, or the land your ancestors came from. it also centers around alternative forms of healing, often via plants. easy to run the numbers on how this is presently politically parsed.
average new age person (who wouldnt identify this way obviously) is skeptical of institutions (often specific things like banking, media), government, normal medicine, historical narratives - “new age” itself could easily, perhaps best, be modeled a type of meta-conspiracy theory
it would be essentially impossible to be “new age” or anything downstream of it without also being open to what we call conspiracy theories. this excludes them from most forms of totally acceptable social or political views at this time, often to their own confusion (no offense).

[slaughter in kid's books]

recently, i was discussing with a friend if children's general aversion to killing animals was innate, or a modern phenomenon. his response was that it's completely modern: in fact, it's intentionally implanted as a social control mechanism.

[...] Image
if you distance people from the process of obtaining their food, which entails slaughter, it's easier to control them.

obviously, i have no way of knowing if this is true, but i find this interesting because: i have it. despite my ideology, i have the aversion and always have.
he's showing me pictures on his phone of him butchering a pig: all the organs, the skin, everything. i have no problem with this: actually, i think it's cool, and eat more meat than the average person. but i still feel the slight spiritual recoil. was it spontaneously generated?
