The Mind Hackers often call themselves "Watchers".

I understand. I feel it everyday. It is still with me. And I like it that way. Very much. I get lonely when it leaves. That is how it is for me.

And yes I agree. We are all each others support or downfall.

I think we all know what you mean by that , lonely...if nothing else this site does offer solace for that

I like glp

So random! What brought that to mind Aether?

GLP is a platform. It's the people here, who make it what it is, or isn't.


Sometimes I imagine the F5 button as the 'cocaine lever' in the rat box.

Sounds about right...I think this place is literally addictive. Like any good community, I suppose it's all about resonance though. Truly, there would be nothing addictive about this place if not for the 'attraction' of the people here.

The rat-box experiment implications, never left me. I recall hearing it was something like 40,000x they would press they lever. I really have no idea what the number was, but it was a lot. Far more than any other drug.


There is no question in my mind that it is addicting. It is coming to understand why it is addicting...


I think itis the pace. It's the feeling that you are going to miss something if you leave. And the very real fact that you do, when you do.

Telling people to 'leave GLP' because it is bad for them is like telling a crackhead, 'crack kills'. Usually, they don't GAF.

It's sort of unnerving to think that in many ways the behavior of humans is not easy to differentiate from skinner box pigeons.

Once one becomes engaged within a community, it's difficult to disengage. But more or less I think that the involvement is rewarding.

It's not so simple as being able to leave if it has a negative effect on your life. Most of the time the effect is mixed.

But I DO genuinely wonder....in a sense, have we begun to mix our consciousness with the web, has the very skin of that consciousness become grafted in a way that the two are no longer separable?

That question actually applies to all people, as we seem to be inexorably unable to separate ourselves from 'the net' as it were...but on GLP, one thing that bothers me is the deliberate conditioning.

The karma system seems basically hardwired to give you social strokes and social shocks ... not to mention we do our own 'self reporting' here, making the notion of covert monitoring completely unnecessary...I may feel haughty for not using facebook, but here I am on GLP reporting on my actions and thoughts to exactly the same extent if not greater....

Now provided nobody wishes to use me it may not matter....but on the off, even minuscule chance that information was of value to anybody....well, who really knows?

I've been reading a lot of material about "the manchurian candidate" and Erickson's hypnosis patterns and first person accounts of MK ULTRA survivors...this stuff is genuinely like frankenstein shit....I'm not going to lie, accepting it as real is kind of horrifying

CrazyC lol You know 'T' we are on the same sides.
Also, you like a blue car to me. Freaky shit.

I always wondered about that house. It was suspicious for sure lol

I find it comforting. Behavior is rather easy to predict. It is the unpredictable ones, I find alarming.


In regard to the Karma system on GLP, I went through different levels of understanding during my time here.

First was, even people attempting to give good karma can accidentally give bad karma. My first 'bad karma' came from Apollo who messaged me and told me it was mistake and would 'make it up to me later'.

Second was, that people will utilize anonymity to say the most potentially Ego damaging thing one can imagine, up that point.

Third. Timing was everything and karma should be ignored for the most part. I check it once per month when I am 'in the mood' to take the good with the bad...

Fourth. People who give karma to get karma, are cheating. In that, they sign their name such that the recipient knows from where it came. Even with the best of intentions, this is true.

Fifth. The temptation to give bad karma in a moment of anger, reflects as a personal failure and can be seen by the mods. Whether signed or not.

Sixth. Anyone who collects karma by tattling on others constantly, is easy to see.

Seventh. You can utilize positive karma points to help others with pins, or free membership.


That's how I see it.

All that is true, yes...I don't really care about karma in particular for its own sake but I wonder, in conjunction with all the other 'skinner box' effects here, how it might be used in a subtle way for behavior modification.

That there is a karma system at all seems to imply that behavioral modification is in some regards an issue.

Do you think the mods really look at stuff like that? If so, what does it mean to them? Not that I expect you to know, I just find that sort of interesting to consider...

I will catch you guys later. Good chat :P

I said something really shitty to someone here in a moment of great anger that I held for far too long. I did not leave my name.

I received a message from a mod some days later, which referenced said karma. I knew for sure then.


I actually felt comforted that they knew. And could address such. Because I have received some pretty shitty karma in my time too.

Good looking out ya know? People do and say stupid things when hopped up on anger.

i really love this old album-just tingles
[i feel like a lemon ]

yeah not suprising at all - that a mod could see literally everything that anybody had done . you could easily set the site to record, for those with admin access or whatnot, who left what response on what poll, left what rating of stars on what post, you could even have the system itself coded to mark certain interesting patterns or relationships trended by certain users, and I'd be willing to bet they have a whole little panel thingy that they can use to see their 'heaviest users' , if they wanted to....of course I'm merely speculating, but there IS something sort of nosy about a website that scans your ports every hour and a half...I mean what the fuck, I honestly think this whole place is a mind control experiment sometimes...but what trips me out the most is you could really have it coded so that most of this analytic and profiling process is done automatically

One can be tempted in many ways by many things, ultimately I suppose it'd be a testing of something physical to override the spiritual?

Tempted to break a diet, tempted by the fruit of another? Suppose still same premise?

0 take the complemented input value
1 take the true input value
x take the "worst case" of the input value
z don't-care; the input value is of no significance
? same as z

Implosion experience within the thread following your post prompted me to alter the experience at that moment in linear time

Luna noticed glp is coded (structured) rectangle = pi
Always something to be something within

Ever deal with addicts? They get might grumpy when denied their fix...

GLP has a different 'fix', for all sorts of things.


Doom is a major one that the noobs learn rather quickly, doesn't often deliver. But even the veterans still feel the thrill from, on occasion...


Maybe not, Astro. He always ends up being right on the immediate space doom. :)

funny thing, the wasted lives waiting for doom, and the absolute incompetence from fear when it does arrive.

must be a name for it.

I think of it more like, people have been conditioned to think it would be exciting. Movies always show the main character escaping all sorts of impossible scenarios, without injury. Video games too.

It is the heroes journey coupled with the thrill of total annihilation on an apocalyptic scale.

The 3 great religions await the destruction with baited breath.

You know WHY they are tired of waiting?

Fear they have been waiting for nothing all along?

Seer can I ask you for something please. It might sound strange. People want to know a fee?

What is that?

All religion, xcept for pure "to source" communion is bullshit.

there.

I said it.

Yes. And that Self fulfilling prophesy is a very real thing.

Belief, leads to a certain way of thought. Thought leads to actions which support the belief in that, it still holds.
