That's what I figured on a second thought. Why would you pick a sport when what you did already was sport.

Interesting. I know very little to none about racquetball, so I can't even have an opinion on what that might mean. Care to give a brief description?

I did originally come here for discussion. I was hoping to discuss some Big Ideas ... why society is like a living organism, or the misdirection that “efficiency“ builds into societies.

I kind of liked the other side of this place, but one day I eventually got sucked into the dark side of the RWED.

I always wondered if being here changed me, and if so, would it have happened somewhere else anyway if my brother never showed me this show.

And I found a bunch of people who were way smarter than me but had their own Big Ideas. Well, I learned a few things.

Humble brag? I'll allow it.

You have to be a little bit crazy to see what most people are trained NOT to see. I'm not even a little itty bitty bit crazy, so I have to depend on the craziness of others. (I find your new tagline interesting.)

You calling me crazy? You may be right.

You can't believe you're so right that you dismiss other people's ideas without good reason. People dismissed Alex Jones and PN even tho there was real truth in a lot of what they said.

Anyway, despite his best efforts to convince ... who? ... I take a pretty "meta" view of SECOND. Which is to say, I'm not so interested in what he transmits (from others) as to why those others say what they say. Whose interests do they represent? So in some bassakwards way he's providing puzzle pieces, same way that other sources do.

THGR is just a lost cause. He's so completely brainwashed he has no agency. Not even interesting.

If The Truth mattered, we wouldn't see a Democrat elected to office on any level from Alderman on up to President until that party fixed itself. But we just saw that a bunch of minorities and white women doomed the state of New York with their primary votes last night.

Until we're in a war that hits all of us, which may be sooner than later if we don't take care of the Muslim problem all over the Western world, all that matters is the Perception of Truth.

The reason why I'm so skeptical about 95% of SECOND'S and THGR'S second-hand claims is bc I follow Military Summary channel every day. Often twice a day. The PRO-UKRAINIAN host follows the drone strikes, frontline advances and retreats, official statements and Telegram channels in excruciating, granular detail. Every day. Twice a day!

More importantly, he backs up his reporting with geolocated videos. (I generally ignore his explanations and projections, tho, bc they're almost never correct.)

Simplicius the Thinker doesn't post anywhere near as often, but he backs up his points with videos that aren't found almost anywhere else, like videos of Israeli missile damage that Israeli officials strongly censor, or frontline videos that won't make it on YouTube bc they're too gruesome, or videos of new/ unusual weapons like the first Oreshnik strike, or the Ukrainian "Hollywood special fx drones" that are loaded with kerosene and rubber and create their own black smoke plume no matter what they land on.

Literally, the only time Kiev was correct was the claim of N Koreans fighting in Kursk.
