We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
we are reaching the cognitive breakage point where the intensity of belief required to sustain the hallucinatory universes many people have occupied simply cannot stand up to any more collisions with reality.
the magnitude and implausibility of dogma required to protect a false world view starts to rise in an exponential fashion.
such a rise rapidly overwhelms people, seemingly out of nowhere because the last 2 doublings are 75% of the cognitive burden and so you go from "barely holding it together" to "wildly, ostentatiously out of control" all at once.
buckle up, you're going to see a lot of this.
for a great many people who have been isolated in a great many echo chambers, the bumpy part of re-entry to reality is starting and the self appointed "moral majority" coming to terms with the fact that it was never either of those things is going to cause mass scale breakage.
you're going to see this kind of attack, threat, vandalism, and rage because it's the only outlet left to externally validated zealots whose external referents have long been fantasies.
wish i had better news, but it's likely to get worse before it gets better.

IN 2006, RESEARCHER CLEVE BACKSTER — THE MAN WHO INVENTED THE CIA'S LIE DETECTOR PROTOCOLS — PUBLISHED 36 YEARS OF EXPERIMENTS PROVING THAT PLANTS, BACTERIA, AND HUMAN CELLS IN PETRI DISHES RESPOND INSTANTANEOUSLY TO HUMAN THOUGHT AND EMOTION — EVEN AT DISTANCES OF HUNDREDS OF MILES. THE SIGNAL IS FASTER THAN LIGHT. IT DOES NOT DIMINISH WITH DISTANCE. IT IS NOT ELECTROMAGNETIC.
In 1966, Cleve Backster was the world's foremost expert on polygraph technology. He had developed the interrogation techniques used by the CIA, FBI, and U.S. military. He understood galvanic skin response — the electrical conductance of biological tissue — better than anyone alive.
One morning, on a whim, he attached polygraph electrodes to a Dracaena plant in his office. He watered it and watched the tracing. Then he thought: "I wonder what would happen if I threatened this plant." He decided to burn a leaf with a match.
The instant he formed the intention — before he moved, before he lit the match, before any ...
