"**towelie2.0**" is the pseudonym of a faceless cowardly [[WallStreetBets]] user who mocks the memory of [[DigitIsDigit]], a former moderator rumored to have killed herself. In the WallStreetBets Discord channel, he still regularly insults her about a year later. He spent the night of the 4th of July the year after her possible suicide publicly sexting a chat bot based on her, with references to his past closeness with her. He refuses to provide information to a panicked friend about whether she is safe after all this time, instead offering lies, confusion, slander, harassment, etc.

He constantly posts pictures of random women, including Digit and many total strangers, and he uses them as his profile pictures on Discord. He uses practices such as asking leading questions, provoking emotional reactions, and removing context to generate manipulated logs of communications, which he then saves meticulously for use in slandering people. However, he often deletes his own messages using Discord's delete function. Discord app admins and WallStreetBets moderators also collude with him to help with these practices; for example, instead of banning him, they use bans and sometimes clear all messages from chat rooms to exert additional control over the available record. He is not as regularly active on nostr or any other platform where he can't get outsiders banned as part of an in-group. He also refuses any challenges to fight in person.

Someone suggested it's just another user with a stenography keyboard

I keep hoping for that, but with her

I don't think it is, I think it's a bot


I'm sure it's legal, but their community should be ostracized for THIS, not for being gambling addicts


They are talking to the chat bot that makes voice clips in Digit's voice in the wallstreetbets discord https://discord.gg/wallstreetbets

They make it act sexual all the time. They say she faked her death about a year ago, but they give no proof she didn't actually kill herself, and she hasn't come back in all that time.

How am I the only one that cares?


There's been a global airborne pandemic for almost 5 years now, TF you doin


(Making it 8 or 10 digits would also make it exponentially harder to crack)


6 digits spaced apart throughout the key would work better - first 6 hex digits means if your vanity key had the mleku in the beginning, any impersonator generating npub1mleku would get your mleku AND your colors


My ban from the wallstreetbets discord channel was just removed. Please God can someone there have proof she's safe


Recap of what's going on in my life to help make my recent posts less confusing -

Short version:

* I love a woman called digit who I only knew on the internet, it seems she's either killed herself or faked her death for the wallstreetbets chat room we met in
* I've been gangstalked for years by people who started out on reddit and they constantly attack me for "cyberstalking" her and not caring about age of consent bullshit
* These attacks are incredibly popular, beloved by the people, so my friends have all abandoned me and nobody cares or helps me find out if Digit is safe (to be clear, I'm 27 and she's mid 30s)
* I might be chemically lobotomized just for trying to find out if she is safe
* It might help if I can find people who don't see trying to find out if a loved one faked their death or not as evil "cyberstalking," who don't think age-of-consent opposers deserve to die, who care enough to do anything anyone has the power to do to help me find out if she's safe

-------

Longer version:

* I've been gangstalked for years by people who started out on reddit - search online for "DarqWolff" (former reddit username) or "DarqWolff rdrama.net" (username + site my fans hang out on)
* All my closest bonds have been based on worrying about the safety of women I met online, starting with my first girlfriend being a suicidal girl in a support group when I was a teenager, creating a snowball effect where I'm too scared to be distracted by anything except more fear and new women can't override my fake (according to Digit - wondering if I can prove her wrong) sense of loyalty to scare me more than past women without much worse horror stories
* This lead me to discover the worst horror story in the English language, the story of a woman in a wallstreetbets chat room calling herself Digit who couldn't get her PhD because she couldn't get past someone she loved dying while she was working on it, so she hated herself ever since and wasted her time with abusive people online, all while being the most amazing woman, capable of saving the world but instead suffering alone like this - and she gave me a chance and reached out to me when I was suicidal and she saved my life, and then she survived cancer but became suicidal herself, and her abusive friends lied to her about me and coordinated with my gangstalkers from reddit to character assassinate me and it compounded with me being worthless and she couldn't trust me or anyone anymore
* She deleted her reddit and discord accounts and disappeared about a year ago
* Everything I've done in life since getting to know her has been focused on her, nothing tops the significance of what happened with her. Everything I do is trying to impress her if she is safe, trying to find out if she is, preparing to avenge her and our sabotaged friendship if she isn't
* I usually talk about her all the time, but when I made this npub I tried to be anonymous and separate my work going after the military industrial complex (to save her world) from my work trying to find out if she's actually here (in the world I'm doing it for)
* I can't shut up about her anymore - 2 nights ago someone sent me screenshots of someone on discord claiming to be her brother saying she killed herself. There is no proof
* A mutual internet contact who knows her real life contact information once wrote her a letter for me, and he says she faked her death for the chat room people, but he offers no proof either
* After years of me worrying about Internet women, and the past 2 years of me begging everyone for help getting past wallstreetbets censorship to let her know her friends there have deceived her about me, my friends have pretty much all abandoned me and the ones left are unable to help me anyway and I'm not sure if even they can fully be trusted
* I'm trying everything I can think of - I'll try to make her story go viral so the wallstreetbets chat is flooded with people asking about her, I made an article about her on the wiki in case maybe she sees it somehow, I keep asking anyone who might have information
* I don't have many leads for finding out if she's safe - I have a possible address for a guy she dated online, he's in a state I have an arrest warrant in and one of my only ideas is to go fight him and get arrested and then proceed from there continuing trying to find ways to cause problems for people who hurt her and hope it leads to me finding out if she's safe eventually
* All of this fear and abuse has left mercy in my heart for only a tiny handful of exceptions in the human race, making it harder to get any help


I see you shop at the quality linguistics post store


How today's American authoritarians react to different examples of expressing disagreement with arbitrary age discrimination (saving most important ones for last)

* If you say "retirement age should at least be based on statistics instead of cutting it off at an arbitrary age based on your feefees," the authoritarians say "no."
* If you say "you should at least base the age I can get a driver's license on statistics instead of cutting it off at an arbitrary age based on your feefees," the authoritarians say "no."
* If you say "you should at least decide who's old enough for a driver's license on a case-by-case basis instead of setting a cutoff age at an arbitrary number selected by your feefees," the authoritarians say "no."
* If you say "you should at least let everyone vote instead of setting an arbitrary voting age based on your feefees," the authoritarians say "no."
* If you say "you should at least set the voting cutoff age based on statistics instead of your arbitrary feelings," the authoritarians say "no."
* If you say "you should at least set the cutoff age for drinking alcohol and using cannabis based on statistics instead of your arbitrary feelings," the authoritarians say "sure, let's at least try to do that."
* If you say "you should at least decide if I can be charged as a runaway on a case-by-case basis instead of setting an arbitrary cutoff age based on your feefees," the authoritarians say "no."
* If you say "you should at least make exceptions in runaway cases for some people below the arbitrary cutoff age based on your feefees," the authoritarians say "no."
* If you say "you should at least set another, lower arbitrary cutoff age based on your feefees where you'll consider making exceptions for people who are above that age, but below the arbitrarily-set cutoff age for potential charges," the authoritarians say "only in some states."
* If you say "age-based workforce regulations should ban adults from exploiting kids instead of banning kids from making money," the authoritarians say "wait, you wanted to stop kids from getting exploited? What the fuck?"
* If you say "you should at least decide if I'm old enough to have sex on a case-by-case basis instead of setting an arbitrary cutoff age based on your feefees," the authoritarians foam at the mouth and fucking collapse society with fossil fuel so they can kill you and get away with it even though it also means they and their children will die.
* If you say "you should at least set the ages people can have sex at based on some rational justification instead of picking arbitrary numbers based on your feefees," the authoritarians fucking kill you as soon as they can get away with it, and just to make sure they will be able to get away with it, they fucking collapse society with fossil fuel, even though it also means they and their children will die.
* If you say "the laws on age cutoffs are fine as they are and I am not only willing but downright excited to follow them to the letter," the authoritarians say "you were supposed to follow the spirit of the law, not the letter - when we said you're not allowed to have sex with anyone below a certain age, we also meant you have to say no if you're asked if they're attractive," then they ask "so would you still be attracted to the woman you love if she was age of consent minus one?" If you say yes, then they fucking kill as soon as they can get away with it, and to make sure they will be able to get away with it, they fucking collapse society with fossil fuel, even though it also means they and their children will die.


Using "could" would help, or not saying "your location" - the distinction I'm seeing is important for some people, for example any leet haxxor who thinks their burner phone doesn't know who they are because they use VoIP over WiFi or something (cell phone can still be tracked by cell towers without cell service)


To be clear, I do not think digit would be ok with knowing I died or got chemically lobotomized over this. If she found out that happened, I'm sure she'd regret letting it happen. But deep down, she might need to let it happen in order to find out it can, because she's so insecure she can't admit it's possible in order to prevent it.

She also said she couldn't finish her PhD because someone she loved died while she was in post grad. I heard from others that it was a boyfriend who killed himself. She had this anger at society and hated herself but she loved humans and didn't seem to openly blame anyone for what happened. Maybe she saw I was born to be angry at society and she wanted to unleash a dark version of me on the world as her vengeance for the person she lost. If that's the case, I just hope she did it in a limited capacity by faking her death, instead of permanently by killing herself.


Another few:

* People are not ready to stop thinking bioweapons are comfy before bird flu is added on top of COVID
* Grants Pass v. Johnson is yet another affirmation that society is now at the level of "it's fine to use biological warfare on dissidents"
* Me trying to find out if someone I love is safe is probably enough dissidence to have me killed with COVID or another lab-leaked virus in some jail cell without anyone hearing about it or caring

nostr:note1z69g5hccpm2rmn983wv297rwwp0u8ayh9y3rcyu3ecvc0yw9le0sj4tecj


These issues are both fucked up:

* If digit is dead, she gets no justice, the society that steamrolled her soul gets away with it and I end up dead or chemically lobotomized trying to avenge her
* If digit is alive, I still might get chemically lobotomized just for trying to find out


Who are these people, really? Let's see:

* If she is alive, Digit herself might need me dead or chemically lobotomized just to prove I'm willing to go that far, she might not be willing to accept that I can't handle losing her without seeing absolute proof
* All my former friends have implied that if I can't willingly live in peace without knowing if digit is safe, they're ok with me being chemically lobotomized to stop me from dying a hero's death
* None of my former friends who could offer me some protection will offer me any protection
* My remaining friends, who believe I deserve to live and be free to find out if someone I love is safe and avenge them if need be, are only people who have no ability to protect me. For example, none of them have a car and enough time to drive me somewhere I need to go in a state where I have an arrest warrant so I don't need to drive myself at risk of being pulled over and IDed - even in the state they live in.
* Any cop or judge will probably go along with killing me or chemically lobotomizing me if his peers think it's right
* I can't foresee any likelihood that any cop or judge would punish any of his peers for killing me or chemically lobotomizing me
* Almost all cops and judges think killing or chemically lobotomizing me is right if it's difficult to use imprisonment to deal with me
* Many cops and some judges think killing me would be right because I don't support judicial prejudice applied on a blanket basis to groups defined by arbitrary emotions (this upsets authoritarians regarding their precious age of consent laws)
* Many cops think if I can't willingly live without knowing Digit is safe, me dying or being chemically lobotomized is better than me getting help staying up to date on her safety

I am toast.

No, I was disputing what you put in your post after it popped up in a feed on primal or iris. Nothing to do with that webpage


A **system stack** is all the components of a computer system, visualized as a stack of layers, with the hardware at the base and [[software-stack|software]] 'piled on top.


A **software stack** is the software part of a [[system stack]] - all the software components of a system, visualized as a stack. A typical example of such a visualization may have the [[operating system]] as the base layer with functionalities added on top.


Most references to "end-to-end encryption" are nonsensical and based on deceit, in order to confuse people and promote misunderstanding of the concept of [[end-to-end encryption]].

The most common example is [[cryptography|cryptographic]] software [[honeypot|honeypots]] being advertised alongside the nonsensical idea that a piece of software can do its own end-to-end encryption, all by itself. This misconception relies on the false assumption that [[backdoor-vulnerability|backdoors]] do not exist.

In reality, electronic end-to-end encryption must be implemented at every level of the [[system stack]], including not only a given piece of software, but also the rest of the software involved, and the hardware running it.

Electronic end-to-end encryption is defined by all of these factors being verified as backdoor-free. Apps advertised as offering "end-to-end encryption" cannot verify whether there are backdoors in the devices they run on. These apps are completely vulnerable to [[hardware-backdoor|hardware backdoors]] due to being software, and are far more vulnerable to [[software-backdoor|software backdoors]] than any true end-to-end encryption software, due to not being a full system [[software stack]] (instead coexisting with separate [[operating-system|operating systems]] and other additional components).


My articles have always just used the "people" category, e.g. Louis Rossmann https://wikifreedia.xyz/louis-anthony-rossmann/npub1wamvxt2tr50ghu4fdw47ksadnt0p277nv0vfhplmv0n0z3243zyq26u3l2


I initially used the "living people" category for digit to express my hope that she is alive, and it was painful to change it back just based on not agreeing with the new category, while also not knowing if she is alive. I think if I knowingly outlived her while her category was "living people" I would never be able to handle updating it and would just quit this npub.


A NIP-54 editor added "living people" as a category to the nostr wiki while I was first trying to verify the screenshots about Digit killing herself, which was about to lead me to make an article for Digit. Very odd serendipity, like when laeserin posted about ngit right when I was about to make articles about git for the first time.

I really disagree with it though. They should not be separate categories. Would you want a third category for "people who may have faked their deaths" or another for "people rumored to exist" since we're not always sure who is and isn't living?

More importantly, would you want to change the category for an article about your loved one after they die?

I have defaulted back to the "people" category because I can't imagine how painful it would be to approve a merge request where the only change is taking her out of "living people" based on knowing she died. I don't want to have her in a third category for "people rumored to have faked their deaths" either. There are ways in which living and non-living people should be handled differently, and contexts in which they should be distinguished as categories, but not here.

This new editor that created this new entry was also spamming non-article entries with Wikipedia links. I'm uneasy about this person but I do like how they use the phrase "legacy Wikipedia."

# About this wiki entry

@HeathensUnite on X posted the part of the list up to Cointelpro around UNIX timestamp 1706674569. It's unclear if they wrote it or got it somewhere else. *[Archive link](https://archive.ph/4kwuz)*

With the question "how does the state ensure your safety ??? here we go," am@primal.net posted an extended version as a kind 1 note via the [[nostr]] protocol at UNIX timestamp 1717805554, and dan@nostrich.zone added "Operation Jellybelly" as a reply (unknown reference, possibly a joke). *[Primal thread link](https://primal.net/e/note1zrph4fr050fs3u3fq95t3nt52zl5m8ht9rj6yaspz0uku0p3wa6qe8a0mg)*

The list was seen on [[primal.net]] and then modified for [[NIP-54]] wikis with the title "what the fuck is going on" by whoever relays stuff, with section 3 added. Wiki link brackets were added to link topics which seemed most worthwhile. Others were left linkless due to information being hard to find or lacking credibility or being uninteresting, according to subjective judgment.

One item was removed from the original list:

It was unclear how to interpret the parentheses when converting the formatting. Searching didn't immediately help.

*If this isn't what you're looking for, try [[honeypot-disambiguation]]*

"**Honeypot**" may refer to any psychological technique for entrapping humans (or perhaps potentially other intelligent beings).

The origins of the term are with the use of honey as bait to trap other animals. The term started to be used euphemistically in the context of high-level espionage, where it referred to spies who would seduce adversaries sexually in order to then have blackmail on them. These spies are typically female, and in such cases are also commonly referred to as a type of "[[femme fatale]]" - or a "[[Mata Hari]]," referencing a [[world-war-ii|WW2]]-era Dutch exotic dancer who was executed on possibly false charges of espionage.

This euphemism has spread to apply to trickery in other contexts, such as cybersecurity, where the term often applies to privacy-invading products masquerading as protectors of privacy.


Yes, and any other app could have access too once you've entered it on an internet-connected device. What makes this worse than username/password logins is your followers and stuff don't all automatically transfer if you need to change your key. People will really want this fixed more and more as time goes on.


You can do end-to-end encryption by hand or with electronics, but it's very hard to run this type of software without electronic hardware. Electronic end-to-end encryption requires implementation at the hardware level, you can't write a piece of software that magically stops anything from running it maliciously or modifying it to run maliciously.


Corrected version (not rearranged) -

All of these things listed below: software only, not capable of having end to end encryption

Discord: you're pretty much right except it is encrypted "in a way," just not in the way that matters (end to end - not possible in software)

SMS: again you're kinda pretending end-to-end encryption is the only encryption

VoIP: no it doesn't separate you from a cell tower. To separate from cell towers you have to actually separate from them, using VoIP over cell data does nothing. It separates your location from an area code for caller ID maybe

Signal: same as discord, not end to end encrypted (software-only)

Matrix: not end to end encrypted (it's only software, like signal and discord) but with track record for waiting before revealing MITM attacks (unlike signal and discord who have been open about their MITM attacks on users)

Session: no end-to-end encryption (software-based), not sure about track record

SimpleX: no end-to-end encryption (software-based), not sure about track record

Self-hosted Tor XMPP w/ OTR: no end-to-end encryption (no specific hardware mentioned), track record probably better than discord

Conclusion:
Anything is better than Discord.

Additional communication method not in the original:

Encrypted hand-written letters - hardware solution, end-to-end encrypted

I'm not smart enough to help with the volcanoes. Digit is, but humanity already failed to protect Digit's loved ones so you're probably not getting help with the volcanoes.


Nope


Most of the first category "die of old age" and aren't counted as suicides despite having "died of old age" years sooner than they would have without being overwhelmed trying to make a dent in a dying world.

There are of course also the people who don't have much planning ability AND don't ever find anything they care enough about for it to matter.


Since not many people have helped try to make sure she's safe, I won't care about many people on earth if Digit is gone


To solve climate change, you need a good enough plan and good enough inspiration to enact that plan.

People with inspiration, but no plan, kill themselves because they're overwhelmed by seeing the beauty around them and not knowing how to save it.

People with plans, inevitably find inspiration, and then inevitably have it taken away, and kill everything. Clearly, the most powerful people on earth are people who've lost loved ones to society's bullshit and decided to fuck the planet as a result. There's no other explanation in human psychology for why people who want to kill us all with climate change are never getting outsmarted and overthrown by people who don't. Digit herself is an example, incredibly smart but crazy because someone she loved died, and thus too busy using her brain for petty shit to enact any of her truly grand plans.

I am the best chance I've ever seen at saving the planet because I aside from enough planning ability, I also have enough reason, that being Digit, and it's not clear yet whether she's been taken away. None of you care about Digit or me, all of you will read this as delusions of grandeur and not realize the safety of you and your loved ones likely depends on the safety of Digit.

The ones that don't think it's funny to see suicides and mass murders also just want me chemically lobotomized


This seemed like it should have been clear enough but I guess maybe it wasn't so let me make it clearer

There are people who think I deserve to die for disagreeing with age of consent laws

Some of them also think I'm evil for another reason: because trying to find out if someone if I love is safe, is "cyberstalking," and they say that's evil (the woman is in her 30s, I'm 27, but they say age of consent is relevant because since I don't believe in age of consent that means I could love her even if it was illegal to have sex with her)

These people believe if I can't live without knowing Digit is safe, I should kill myself, and it will be hilarious and they can add it to the list of funny suicides they've provoked online

Some of them also believe if I won't kill myself without taking others with me, that's even more hilarious and they're even happier to say they helped provoke a mass murder or something

I have been being harassed by these people for 12 years, since I was 15

People who seem to be my friends also turn out to be these people - I have no friends anymore

The users of its Discord channel mock the memory of a former moderator who may have killed herself, [[DigitIsDigit]]. They have a bot which generates audio using her voice, and users such as [[towelie2.0]] sext with it while gaslighting anyone that cares, refusing to provide information on whether she is safe.


I've been so scared for the past year because I only knew her online and she disappeared


All of my work has been for her and if she's not here I need to work harder on making the world a worse place for everyone


Someone just sent me screenshots of someone else claiming to have knowledge the woman I love killed herself around a year ago. I'm so scared. I still don't have her last name and I'm telling myself this was only her faking her death in an online chat room not a real thing. She was called Digit on wallstreetbets where we met. Her name is Emily. She's the only woman that ever put up with my stubbornness to make me learn shit I needed to learn so badly. Here's a song she made, it has a drum pattern unlike any I've ever heard, when she showed it to me she said she made "bad" music https://dankdrop.nl/intentions043219.mp3

I can't stop crying


Wtf, I just saw a candy bar company admit society is collapsing in a TV commercial

**"2-party system"** is a misleading term for a system (such as [[the American uniparty]]) in which an authoritarian government runs electoral candidates focused on different areas under 2 distinctive brands, in order to prevent multi-party or independent competition in elections.

The brands are referred to as "political parties," leading to this phrasing; however, a "party" can also refer to any person or group engaging together in a behavior, which can thus cause the phrase be misunderstood as suggesting separateness, rather than collusion.

**"The [[Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant]]"** is a short story about ageing and death by the 🇸🇪Swedish philosopher [[Nick Bostrom]], 35 years after the UNIX epoch. It relates the misery inflicted by a dragon-tyrant (a personification of the ageing process and death), who demands a tribute of tens of thousands of people's lives per day and the actions of the people, including the king, who come together to fight back, eventually killing the dragon-tyrant.

# Synopsis

The fable recounts the tale of a kingdom that lives next to a mountain inhabited by a terrible dragon. The dragon demands a daily sacrifice of thousands of people from the kingdom. Over the years, there are many valiant efforts to defeat the dragon, but none are successful; the dragon's scales are too strong to be pierced. People in the kingdom become accustomed to the dragon's daily appetite as a simple fact of life. A large bureaucracy in the kingdom is dedicated to efficiently meeting the dragon's demands, shipping people to the foot of the mountain by railway every night. This bureaucracy eventually becomes extraordinarily expensive, consuming one-seventh of the kingdom's budget.

One day, a sage proposes that it might be possible to kill the dragon, if a sufficiently advanced material could be developed to pierce the dragon's scales. This proposal is quickly dismissed by the kingdom's intelligentsia as wishful thinking. Many years later, "dragonologists" develop a material that is harder than the dragon's scales, and start advocating for the construction of a weapon to kill the dragon.

Popular support for killing the dragon grows, and eventually the king calls for a meeting that is open to the public. At the meeting, the king's chief advisor for morality argues against killing the dragon, using eloquent rhetoric to make the case that being consumed by the dragon is intrinsically part of what it means to be human, and that the finitude of life is what gives it meaning.

After the eloquent advisor finishes speaking, a young boy shouts out "the dragon is bad!" A sage brings the boy up to the podium, and the boy explains that the dragon devoured his grandmother, who had promised to bake cookies with him on Christmas.

The boy's guileless statement of the simple truth—the dragon is bad because it eats people—galvanizes the public to support the dragon-killing moonshot. The king dedicates vast sums of wealth to the project, and after 12 years, the dragon-killing weapon is ready.

Minutes before the weapon is to be deployed, a young man rushes to the king, begging for the final train to be stopped, because the young man's father is aboard. The king stoically shakes his head, knowing that it would be too risky to alert the dragon that anything is amiss.

The weapon is launched and successfully kills the dragon. A crowd of citizens celebrates the end of the dragon's cruel reign, but the king is overcome with guilt. Seeing the personal tragedy of the young man—who is revealed to be the same boy who cried out at the meeting twelve years earlier—makes the king realize how many lives could have been spared had the kingdom started the dragon-killing project earlier.

The story ends optimistically, with the king remarking to his advisors that, though there are many new challenges that the kingdom will face now that thousands of people are not being devoured by the dragon every day, they have vanquished a great evil.

# Allegory and arguments

The story argues that humans for most of history have lacked the tools to fight the monster of ageing and death, but advances in biotechnology put humanity in the same situation as the dragonologists in the story who discover a material harder than dragon scales: the potential to slow and even reverse ageing could be within reach. The fable thus addresses the themes of death acceptance and resignation to fate in the face of ageing and critiques the pro-aging trance.

Like the kingdom in the story, the United States spends approximately one-seventh of its GDP on healthcare. A vast bureaucracy exists to facilitate the process of ageing and death, and to research the various individual diseases caused by ageing, yet very little money is dedicated to the more ambitious and impactful project of ending ageing itself.

The story's chief morality advisor is the allegorical equivalent of a bioethicist, and Bostrom notes that many of the morality advisor's arguments about human dignity, the finitude of life, and death being an intrinsic part of the human experience are "lifted, mostly verbatim" from modern bioethicists arguing against research into life extension and the reversal of ageing. Like in the story, lofty rhetoric is used as a smokescreen to obscure the simple morality of the situation: ageing is bad because it kills people.


In English, "law" is a strange word designed to project psychological weight on the concept of [[statute]] by giving it the same terminology used for descriptions of invariable phenomenological observations.

Examples:

* "Law of man" - a statute, such as a demand to file taxes.
* "Law of man" - a description of an invariable repeat observation in human behavior, such as all communities having people who condone acts of self-defense against armed robbers.
* "Law of [[physics]]" - a description of an invariable repeat observation in the fundamental nature and properties of matter and energy, such as all objects at rest staying at rest unless otherwise influenced.

Limiting use of the word "law" to descriptions of invariable phenomenological observations, and referring to "statute" more specifically when needed, are suggested ways to improve "language utility" when discussing these concepts.


Based 👽


I'm hinting at how every computer these days is told at the factory to not do what it's told. It's been a long long time since computers with a tendency to do what they're told were common.


Pretty sure it's more than close enough, but still wonder where the threshold is


Something I wonder about - when would amateur astronomers be sure institutions like NASA are lying about an impending impact? Is the 5 year mark we're at now close enough with how many people have powerful telescopes and computers?

nostr:note18wzmj377yh0qc53kh0j6d74wcmczk0d5tq00t8lrcmwkuzt3dlksk9pw4r


Do you realize how insane that statement is? You just suggested you believe nobody has ever told a computer not to do what it's told.


No worries, you're still one of my favorite people on nostr 🙏


It's an utterly insane thing to make fun of - it reflects on society's mental health and delusions, not the victims.

"Haha, this guy who constantly gets fucked with by the people who do shit like put drugs and poisons in plane fuel wonders if they would do that to him, what a delusional basket case!"


That's beautiful to you?


Irrelevant. I compared how common two terms are, I didn't say either one is very common outside the internet. You're acting like a fed


You don't understand, that is part of being gangstalked.

I've been gangstalked "heavily" compared to anyone I've met but still lightly compared to some people, and yesterday a plane flying low over the rural dirt road I live on made me wonder if it was there to poison me or drug me with something in its exhaust.

That is one of the points of gangstalking, to undermine the victim's ability to safely limit speculation about what's happening. That's what happens when the people who have fucking nukes decide they're going to form groups of psychological experts to gaslight people. The victims feel endangered because they are and they have to begin considering all the ways the danger can possibly present itself and nobody cares because some dangers are obscure or seem silly.

And people like you don't understand, and make fun of it.


Since that's so rare, such a definition would make gangstalking much rarer and a much rarer term ("alogging") would then describe the more common phenomenon. Doesn't make sense


I can if multiple people get together in a group and the plan they come up with is to all hide in my bushes.


That can't be the distinction because it usually can't be distinguished 🤔

"**The American uniparty**" refers to a group of people who collude to undermine Democracy and the Republic.

The phrasing is a response to the misleading nature of the term "[[2-party system]]," referring to the common scheme such groups use in order to mask collusion, by operating 2 distinctive brands, focused in different areas.

![kentstate](https://i.postimg.cc/Fr1QrK4f/kentstate.webp "Kent State protestors shot by national guard")

According to [[Wikipedia]] in the article "[definition of terrorism](https://wikiless.tiekoetter.com/wiki/Definition_of_terrorism?lang=en)" ([[Wikiless]] link) -

> There is no consensus, scholarly or legal, on the **definition of terrorism**.

Wikipedia fails to explain why there is no consensus: because "terrorism" as a term was popularized by [[pro-and-anti-death-terrorism|pro-death terrorists]] in the [[American military industrial complex]] who intended to mean "people we don't like for good reasons," except the "good reasons" are senseless mass murders, which are the same reasons not to like the people who popularized the term, which they can't really get around when anyone puts actual thought into it.

Arguing about nonsense definitions helps prevent people from actually thinking about the topic, so any consensus definition is blocked by promoting arguments about nonsense definitions, thanks to the military industrial complex's control over communication infrastructure, and resultant influence over culture and psychology.

Also according to Wikipedia -

> **Terrorism**, in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.

Note: Non-combatants include unarmed people and those who are armed for self-defense, but not engaging their weapons as part of an existing conflict prior to a given attack.

> The term is used in this regard primarily to refer to intentional violence during peacetime or in the context of war against non-combatants (mostly civilians and neutral military personnel). There are various different definitions of terrorism, with no universal agreement about it. Different definitions of terrorism emphasize its randomness, its aim to instill fear, and its broader impact beyond its immediate victims.


Gangstalking isn't about monitoring, it's about manipulation - character assassination, destruction of mental health, etc. The rdrama talk is about doing it online, but gangstalking also involves physical IRL stuff sometimes.


Gangstalking is real... Check out rdrama.net, they post about gangstalking on there sometimes as people doing it (not people having it done to them)

**"Collateral Murder"** was the title used by [[WikiLeaks]] for a military video and audio recording, leaked and widely circulated 40 years after the UNIX epoch in order to disprove the lies of the [[American military industrial complex]] on their murder of unarmed civilians in Baghdad, 3 years prior, July 12.

The video and audio depicts a helicopter crew misidentifying phones and cameras as AK-47 rifles, before fatally bombing a group of people in Baghdad.

The attack killed over a dozen people, including two Reuters employees, and bystanders who responded trying to rescue any survivors. Among the wounded were two children whose father was killed stopping to help.

![infographic](https://archive.org/download/10leaks/webp/WikiLeaksTop10-infographic-04.webp)

The footage was provided to WikiLeaks by [[Chelsea Manning]]. The military industrial complex responded to its lies being discredited by criminalizing Manning and the founder of WikiLeaks, [[Julian Assange]], who each spent time in prison as a result.

Similar attacks by the American military industrial complex are common, but rarely so well-documented. This one involving 2 Reuters journalists, and subsequently being leaked, contributed to it being especially noteworthy.

# Perpetrators

The killers responsible for the attack have not been identified. They did not reveal their identities to apologize for their actions or demand a Presidential pardon for Manning or Assange while they were each imprisoned for years. It is not even known if whoever fired the first shot is still alive. They may have been killed by the [[deep state]] to prevent them from doing anything like that; it's easy for the military industrial complex to kill people and make it look like an accident, especially people who are serving on active duty in warfare.

## Army apology

Two former soldiers from the same Army unit as those responsible for the incident - including one who was on the ground at the time and responded to the incident - have written an open-letter of "Reconciliation and Responsibility" to those hit by the attack, on behalf of their fellow soldiers. The authors' names are Josh Stieber and Ethan Mccord. A copy can be read at:

[web.archive.org/web/20221026125230/https://archive.globalpolicy.org/invasion-and-war/atrocities-and-criminal-homicides-/48984-us-soldiers-from-wikileaks-collateral-murder-video-apologize.html](https://web.archive.org/web/20221026125230/https://archive.globalpolicy.org/invasion-and-war/atrocities-and-criminal-homicides-/48984-us-soldiers-from-wikileaks-collateral-murder-video-apologize.html)

# Prior coverage of the incident

On the day of the attack the U.S. military reported that the two journalists were killed along with nine insurgents, and that the helicopter engagement was related to a U.S. troop raid force that had been attacked by small-arms fire and RPGs. U.S. forces spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Scott Bleichwehl later stated: "There is no question that coalition forces were clearly engaged in combat operations against a hostile force".

The Washington Post reported it was unclear whether the journalists were killed by U.S. fire or by shooting from the targeted Iraqis. Captain James Hall stated they couldn't drive in Bradleys in fear of running over bodies. Major Brent Cummings claimed they took great pains to prevent the loss of innocent civilian lives.

Reuters reported that it could locate no witnesses who had seen gunmen in the immediate area. Reuters also stated that local police described the attack as "random American bombardment". Reuters subsequently asked the U.S. military to probe the deaths. They asked for an explanation of the confiscation of the journalists' two cameras, access to the on-board footage and voice communications from the helicopters involved, and access to the reports of the units involved in the incident, particularly logs of weapons taken from the scene.

Weeks later, on July 25, during an off-the-record briefing in Baghdad by the U.S. military, two Reuters editors were shown "less than three minutes of video from the Apache’s gun camera, up to the exact moment it opened fire the first time." The editors asked to see the remaining footage so Reuters could check whether it had been edited or manipulated. Their request was denied at the briefing and they were told to seek access under [[the Freedom of Information Act]]. Reuters requested a copy of the full video under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) on the same day. The military told Reuters in response to the FOIA request that the information might no longer exist; this was refuted later during the court-martial of Chelsea Manning, where she said in a personal statement that the military had been actively examining the video at the time. The Pentagon eventually blocked the FOIA request despite several follow-up requests by Reuters.

An internal legal review by staff at Forward Operating Base Loyalty in Iraq during the same month stated that the helicopters had attacked a number of armed insurgents within the rules of engagement, and that in an apparent case of civilian casualties two reporters working for Reuters had also been killed. The review was not released in full until 3 years later, after the video of the incident had been released by WikiLeaks.

After the U.S. military concluded that the actions of the soldiers were in accordance with the law of armed conflict and its own "Rules of Engagement", WikiLeaks released the classified Rules of Engagement for the years 36, 37 and 38 years after the UNIX epoch, revealing the rules before, during, and after the attacks.

Washington Post reporter David Finkel, who at the time was embedded with Bravo Company 2–16 Infantry, later covered the incidents of the day in his book, The Good Soldiers. At a pretrial hearing in February, 43 years after the UNIX epoch, Manning stated that Finkel "was quoting, I feel in verbatim, the audio communications of the aerial weapons team crew". She said that she was "aghast" at Finkel's portrayal of the incident. "Reading his account," she explained, "one would believe the engagement was somehow justified as 'payback' for an earlier attack that led to the death of a soldier."


Many people who've tried it found it didn't work properly - that might be getting better now for people trying it now, I'm not sure.

Aside from the shit actually working, you then need algorithms that help get people started with finding engaging posts and getting engagement on their own posts. None of the nostr apps seem great at this yet. Some apps like iris, satellite, and primal are starting to get good at curating feeds but helping beginners get engagement is still not up to par with centralized bullshit like Bluesky (where one of the most popular feeds just contains all first-time posts by new users, less effective on nostr where anyone can make a throwaway npub)


You're early on nostr, give it time 🤙

Sorry about the wait tho 😮💨

Bluesky lies about being decentralized, it's trash

Julian Assange might not feel free yet. I don't know him, I'm only speculating, but overwhelming trauma might make him feel like he's deeply damaged, not the same anymore, unable to see how he can ever move on. It may take time for him to see potential in his own future, and that's when the feeling of finally being free would really connect.

I don't mean potential to do more shit, I just mean potential to enjoy life and feel deeper trust again and stuff like that.

> — The Oath of the Washington Post

**WaPo** is a propaganda arm of the [[American military industrial complex]]. The brand and the people associated with it were widely discredited by [[WikiLeaks]].

Despite having a copy of the [[collateral-murder-leak|"Collateral Murder" footage]] of an American helicopter killing 2 Reuters journalists and the passers-by who tried to drag one to safety, the Washington Post reported that it was unclear whether the deaths resulted from shots fired by American weapons or enemy insurgents. While Reuters was being denied access to the video, the Washington Post did nothing with their copy. It was eventually released by WikiLeaks with the help of [[Chelsea Manning]].


Site: [wikileaks.org](https://wikileaks.org/)

**WikiLeaks** is sort of a wiki for whistleblowers, founded by [[Julian Assange]] 36 years after the UNIX epoch.

Leaks by [[Chelsea Manning]] and some by [[Edward Snowden]] were famously released via WikiLeaks, among others.

According to one major news source:

# Leaks

*Main article: [[material published by WikiLeaks]]*

## 10 year top 10

During the 10 year anniversary of WikiLeaks, a top 10 list of their biggest leaks was published by the organization.

![infographic](https://archive.org/download/10leaks/multiples/WikiLeaksTop10-resize.webp)

https://wikileaks.org/10years/global.html

### 1 - The Guantanamo Files

> The [[Guantanamo Files leak]] exposed systematic and routine violations of the Geneva Conventions and abuse of 800 prisoners as young as 14 and as old as 89 at Guantanamo Bay.

### 2 - The Iraq and Afghanist an War Logs

> [[The Iraq and Afghanistan War Logs]] showed the true number of civilian deaths in Iraq and is the most detailed record of war to date. It detailed the abuse and torture of prisoners by police and military in full knowledge of coalition forces.

### 3 - The Minton Report

> [[The Minton Report]] detailed how Dutch multinational company Trafigura had dumped toxic waste in the Ivory Coast affecting 108,000 people. The report had been suppressed through a super injunction that the Guardian and the BBC obeyed, but WikiLeaks exposed.

### 4 - Collateral Murder

![screen1](https://i.postimg.cc/cHpVgDTC/collateral-murder-screen1.webp)

> The [[Collateral Murder leak]] - this classified US military video of a helicopter gunship slaying eighteen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad, including two Reuters journalists and their rescuers, documents a war crime.

### 5 - Cablegate / PLUSD

[[The Public Library of US Diplomacy]] is a growing collection of 3,326,538 diplomatic cables from 274 consulates and embassies spanning the period 1966 to 2010. PLUSD documents fifty years of United States diplomatic relations across the globe, its activities, its component corporations, its allies and its enemies. The collection has vastly expanded since the initial publication of [[Cablegate]] in 2010.

### 6 - The Syria Files

[[The Syria Files]] provided extraordinary insight into the Assad regime over the period August 2006 to March 2012, through over two million emails from 680 Syrian political figures, ministries and associated companies and the regime's international security contracts.

### 7 - The Global Intelligence Files

[[The Global Intelligence Files]] revealed the inner workings of the private intelligence firm Stratfor that services the US government and large corporations such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency.

### 8 - TPP, TTIP & TISA

[[tpp-ttip-tisa|TPP, TTIP & TISA]], aka the 'Big 3Ts', are major trade agreements being drafted and negotiated in secret without proper democratic oversight. WikiLeaks has provided multiple draft chapters and negotiating positions to the public, which have fueled social justice and fair trade movements throughout the world. The Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership are now stalled. The lesser known Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) between US, EU and 22 other countries accounts for two thirds of global GDP has been classified to keep it secret not just during the negotiations but for five years after the TiSA enters into force.

### 9 - The NSA World Leaders Targets

[[The NSA World Leaders Targets]] are the most highly classified documents ever published by a media organisation. The documents revealed interceptions of NSA targets, including UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon's meetings with Heads of State, Prime Ministers Berlusconi and Netanyahu, President Hollande, the Japanese cabinet, and US economic espionage in Japan, France and Brazil, its singling out for interception of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Director of the Rules Division of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) among others.

### 10 - The Democratic National Committee Leaks

[[The Democratic National Committee Leaks]] consist of 19,252 emails and 8,034 attachments from the US Democratic National Party leadership, which resulted in the resignation of five top officials who had stacked the chips against one of the two Democratic candidates, [[Bernie Sanders]], to favour [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]] by pressuring media outlets such as CNN, MSNBC, and black PR methods.

**"Deep state"** is a term for any unofficial branches or "shadow arms" of an ostensibly public government.

Deep state branches can be secret operations, or can operate publicly while simply being denied in any official capacity (as a [[gaslighting]] technique). Big tech corporations can be infamous examples, such as Microsoft and Alphabet/Google, which have both been unofficially - but *not* secretly - integrated deeply into the [[American military industrial complex]].

*See also: [[selling fiat]]*

**"Buying and selling cryptocurrency"** is a [[doublespeak]] term for a [[cryptocurrency exchange]], with phrasing designed to undermine the perceived validity of [[cryptocurrency]]

Technically, exchanging currency for other currency isn't supposed to be called "buying and selling."

It's normally called a "[[currency exchange]]," or, when a cryptocurrency is involved, a "cryptocurrency exchange."

[[currency-exchange|Exchanges of currency]] are more privileged in the US judicial system than purchases under other asset classes, so the [[American military industrial complex]] pretends cryptocurrencies aren't actual currencies, as an excuse to cripple crypto trading and prop up the [[petrodollar]]. This is why currency exchanges involving cryptocurrency will often also involve the terms "buying and selling."


**"Selling fiat"** is a humorous linguistic inversion of the misleading propaganda term "[[buying and selling cryptocurrency]]."

"[[Fiat currency]]" refers to inflationary currencies such as the [[petrodollar]] and to "sell" it is to exchange it for hard money such as [[cryptocurrency]] (or possibly other forms such as [[precious metals]] or other assets such as [[corn]]).

The [[American military industrial complex]] projects their own currency's invalidity on [[cryptocurrency]], using phrases such as "buying and selling cryptocurrency" to imply [[cryptocurrency-exchange|cryptocurrency exchanges]] aren't even real [[currency-exchange|currency exchanges]], but merely "buying" and "selling" of some mysterious non-currency asset class. People thus use the term "selling fiat" as a reminder of the invalidity of the petrodollar, exaggeratedly referring to it as an asset that cannot be exchanged like a currency, but instead "sold."

There is no "buying fiat" because nothing being exchanged for petrodollars is an attractive trade to someone who understands currency well enough to be in on this joke.

If I remember right (from a while ago before previous npubs of mine), I may have actually found out about nostr from Wikipedia. I had been waiting for someone out there to try making something with decentralized keypair-based logins (Ethereum wallet "web3" ecosystem existed for years and sucked)

I didn't even know I would find a wiki to be part of from ground zero here, such a tragedy for Jimmy Wales accidentally helping me get here 🤏🎻


Thanks for making it so simple.

All I knew was people use git to disseminate code and Microsoft felt the need to buy GitHub without immediately ruining it... I hate Microsoft so I found that very sus, figured they just want to control the code collaboration process, and figured the smart people would work on decentralizing it

I actually found out about ngit the same day I was making the wiki entry for "GotHub" because laeserin made an entry for ngit at almost the same time, otherwise my gothub entry would have just said "someday a decentralized git should be developed" or something. Events like that are why I believe there must be some kind of god

Something about the way that was framed made me think "this guy is doing denialism about a system that doesn't let everyone have a stable IP address." You use a lot of hyperbole and I wasn't seeing that your actual idea is kinda close enough since you could help all kinds of technologies decentralize and spread explosively.

I'm not sure why I was clinging so hard to my commie views in that argument though - I've long believed in solving this issue with a form of capitalism anyway, those types of crypto that natively support smart contracts for file storage and stuff. This would also massively help drug addicts keep phones & encourage charities to help them get free phones because it would be easier to make money on having a phone instead of pawning it


Nah, it was servers. I was saying I couldn't think of a non-violent or even feasible way to have "sovereign" servers. But now I'm thinking it's all relative and you lowering the barrier to entry does help individuals gain some sovereign authority in the server universe

**The Presidents of the United States of America** (occasionally referred to as **PUSA**, **PotUSA**, **the Presidents of the USA**, or simply **the Presidents**) were an American rock band, widely known for songs such as "[[lump-by-the-presidents-of-the-usa|Lump]]" and "[[peaches-by-the-presidents-of-the-usa|Peaches]]." The band formed in [[Seattle Washington]], 23 years after the UNIX epoch.


**"President of the United States of America"** is a rare job title.

Not to be confused with "member of [[the Presidents of the United States of America]]," a rarer job title.


The **American military industrial complex** is a shadow government born from the unparalleled, globally-dominant force of equipment and psychological influence wielded by the American-flag-flying group responsible for the world's [[petrodollar]] era.

It is typically referred to as simply *the* [[military industrial complex]], as the term was coined in reference to it. This term is derived from the mentally ill level of militarization in such a society, where every industry is military-connected in a multitude of ways, regardless of how inappropriate this may get in numerous cases.

The American military industrial complex is the first government ever to have the entire planet Earth as its territory, albeit with **many** small pockets of resistance.

It is a driving component of today's [[global death cult]], with many of the most high-ranking and devoted members of the death cult also being among the most high-ranking and devoted members of the American military industrial complex. However, the death cult is overall bigger, with the biggest pockets of resistance against the American military industrial complex just being more death cult sects.

**Edward Joseph Snowden** (born June 21, 13 years after UNIX epoch) is a mythical American folk hero, a whistleblower who became a naturalized 🇷🇺Russian citizen 52 years after the UNIX epoch.

43 years after the UNIX epoch, while working as a government contractor, Snowden leaked highly classified information from the [[so-called National Security Agency]] (NSA). He is currently criminalized by the authorities as a result, and under indictment for espionage.

# Leaks

![funds](https://i.postimg.cc/4fMbwtcb/Snowden-chart-funds.webp)

His disclosures revealed numerous surveillance programs and privacy breaches, such as:

* the [[PRISM program]]
* the [[MYSTIC program]]
* [[GCHQ Optic Nerve]]
* [[backdoor-vulnerability|backdoors]] in smartphones, and the shrinking use of on-the-ground face-to-face intelligence-gathering to decide targets for drone strikes, in favor of instead using data from phones
* facilities inserting [[hardware backdoor]] attachments into devices like WiFi routers and re-sealing them in original factory packaging
* [[JTRIG Art of Deception]], "Training for Online Covert Operations," a government training document about [[astroturfing]], including the use of [[gangstalking]] techniques to perform [[character assassination]]
* operations regularly targeting other countries, including allies of America, such as a program which collected the text message conversations of millions of Germans
* many others, run worldwide by the NSA and the [[Five Eyes]] intelligence alliance with the cooperation of telecommunication companies and European governments

*This short list is comprised of highlights from a pre-existing timeline of Snowden's leaks which can be viewed from the wiki entry [[Snowden leak timeline]] • see also: [[what the fuck is going on]]*

These leaks were carefully used by the [[American military industrial complex]] to frame a cultural discussion about national security and individual privacy. This deep-state-lead discussion concluded with the result of "people are dumb enough to keep voting for politicians and doing business with the same corporations," confirming the decision to deploy even more widespread backdoors in modern electronics starting around this time, such as AMD's so-called [[amd-psp|"platform security processor"]].

The leaks by Edward Snowden were also among the most high-profile published by [[WikiLeaks]] - the founder of which, [[Julian Assange]], was also criminalized and was imprisoned for years.


*See also: [[terrorism]] • [[pro-death]] • [[global death cult]]*

**Pro-death terrorism** is terrorism which promotes an increase of deaths.

**Anti-death terrorism** (such as [[eco-terrorism]]) is terrorism targeting causes of death, in order to prevent or avenge deaths.

To proponents of each type, the opposite is bad, meaning these terms are more useful for distinguishing them from each other than the terms "good" and "bad" (a "good type of terrorism" and "bad type of terrorism").

The term "terrorist" was popularized by pro-death terrorists in the [[American military industrial complex]] as a form of projection and [[doublespeak]]. By using a term which applied to their own crimes, but insisting on applying it exclusively to acts committed by adversaries, the goal was to lump all acts of violence together under a false perception of inevitability stemming from irreconcilable conflict. In other words, the goal is to make all attacks on the military industrial complex sound just as bad as the military industrial complex's attacks on others, or worse - never the other way around. Undoing this lumping-together helps make it clear which violence a person does or doesn't see as justified, and why they do or don't.

# Ideological and functional duality

Like other matters of supporting or opposing something, being a pro-death or anti-death terrorist may apply at either the ideological level or the functional level (or both). In other words, it's possible to commit functionally pro-death acts without being ideologically pro-death in the motivation.

It's also possible for an act or belief system to overall favor one direction, while also extending in the other direction, simply not as far.

For example, someone might kill others with the intention of saving more lives, an act which can be viewed both ways; however, it is ideologically more anti-death than pro-death (and functionally depends on how successful it is).

Some terrorists are very difficult to categorize because they fit in multiple categories in different ways. For example, Islamic jihadists are driven by religion and promises of an afterlife and they kill people for afterlife rewards; that's pro-death. However, their culture arose from constant provocation by the pro-death terrorists in the military industrial complex, with vengeance against that pro-death terrorism being a major motivating factor; and religious wars tend to involve pragmatic conflicts over resources and survival, merely using religion for propaganda purposes. Islamic jihadists also tend to come from poor countries with much lower-consumption lifestyles than Western countries which invade them with expansionist crude-oil-seeking expeditions. *See also: [[resource consumption overshoot]]*

There are other cases where it's much easier to distinguish a category. Eco-terrorists, as mentioned in the second paragraph of this wiki entry, are a good example of clearly anti-death ideology and also ostensibly anti-death impact. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the American military industrial complex exhibits cultish religious motivations, stockpiles nuclear weapons, constantly instigates conflict with other parties minding their own business, and enforces a global economic model designed to inevitably collapse; these people's "leaders" are ideologically *and* functionally pro-death terrorists, in absolute.

To further illustrate the concept, below is a chart with specific examples of scenarios and how they relate to human ideology. Some of these examples don't involve terrorism at all (a few don't even involve human influence).

These are hypothetical examples and the purpose of them is not to suggest that they would or could happen exactly as described; the point of each scenario is to examine, *if it did* happen exactly as described, how could each outcome align with people's actions and their motivations?

| *Ideology (beliefs) vs function (outcomes)* | 1 Ideologically favoring nothing but death | 2 Ideologically favoring some survival, but more death | 3 Ideologically neutral | 4 Ideologically favoring more survival, but some death | 5 Ideologically favoring nothing but survival |

| A **Functionally removing years from lives without adding any to others** | A nuclear apocalypse triggered for the sake of anti-natalism | A nuclear apocalypse triggered by [[nuclear Posadism]] | A nuclear apocalypse triggered by shortsightedness and carelessness | A nuclear apocalypse triggered by trying to figure out how to prevent it without saving certain people | A nuclear apocalypse triggered by trying to prevent it and save everyone |
| B **Functionally mostly removing years from lives but adding some too** | A bioweapon intended to cause extinction, accidentally correcting [[resource consumption overshoot]] but also stunting the development of modern medicine | A Posadist nuclear apocalypse in a fantasy world where it actually works for the intended goal instead of causing extinction | An ancient human eating meat when it was essential to their survival, not a choice | An overworked medical doctor becoming bitter and nihilistic about controlling viral spread at their workplace | A person naturally getting a deadly virus and spreading it accidentally while trying not to |
| C **Functionally neutral** | A mad scientist trying to make an extinction virus but not getting anyehere | Posadists trying but not getting anywhere | Someone sitting in a chair wondering if a nuclear apocalypse will ever happen | Wishful fantasies of preventing a nuclear apocalypse without saving everyone | Wishful fantasies of preventing a nuclear apocalypse to save everyone |
| D **Functionally mostly adding years to lives but removing some too** | A bioweapon intended to cause extinction, accidentally correcting [[resource consumption overshoot]] and allowing modern medicine to accelerate under a better global economy | The "bioweapon fixes everything" scenario again but the creator meant to collapse society without causing extinction | A virus naturally emerging and fixing stuff without any bioweapon research lab helping it | A bioweapon research lab releasing a virus extremely deadly for most humans, but otherwise safe, opening up the possibility of reversing the [[anthropocene extinction]] | A bioweapon research lab releasing a virus extremely deadly for most humans, but otherwise safe, opening up the possibility of reversing the anthropocene extinction |
| E **Functionally adding years to lives without removing any from others** | All the samples in a pro-extinction bioweapon research lab being lost by accident | All the samples in a pro-societal-collapse-but-not-extinction bioweapon research lab being lost by accident | All the samples in a bioweapon research lab being burned because of the result of a coin flip | All the samples in a bioweapon research lab being burned due to uncertainty of whether the bioweapons could safely do precise targeting | All the samples in a bioweapon research lab being burned based on the belief that bioweapons shouldn't be used on anyone |

It's impossible to mathematically guarantee that a decision will add or remove more years of life than the opposite, so each of these scenarios is judged based on a reasonable, but subjective interpretation of the impact. For example, an ancient human who eats meat might be expected to shorten the lives of prey animals by more than they extend their own life with each meal, but this doesn't reflect on their ideology, it simply means they're neurologically healthy enough to feel hunger and fear starvation.

By analyzing this chart, you can see that in the context of violent conflict, there's a lot of complexity involved in judging someone's feelings on violence and how much they value life itself. It isn't as simple as "violent act = violent person." Notice that rows A and D can each be almost the same all the way across, despite the ideological differences (with D4 and D5 even showing they can potentially be identical). Sometimes life doesn't just give you whatever choices are convenient to your preferences. By comparing D5 and E5, you can also see how a fundamentally protective person could take two drastically different paths, given two drastically different understandings of which course of action will lead to the best outcome (without any difference in the underlying motivation to protect life).

A **so-called Presidential "debate"** is an event in which members of [[the American uniparty]] pander to their audiences and then people argue about which one seemed more insane. These events are held leading up to Presidential elections.

The term is typically used with phrasing that implies Presidential candidates will debate each other at such events, rather than phrasing which refers to the actual debates between voters after such events. Uniparty Presidential candidates do not actually tend to debate each other very much, if at all, ever, at these events or otherwise.

People don't realize how bad of a sign it would really be if the so-called "supreme" court decides to criminalize homelessness in Johnson v Grants Pass.

The only way the U.S. would criminalize homelessness now is if they know the pandemic is about to get worse, and they're trying to put the brakes on the collapse of the dollar by exercising as much control as possible over the spread of disease. H5N1 has the potential to kill a lot more people than COVID, but incarceration can still continue to be used to make sure more of the people killed are the ones fewer people care about.

If the U.S. military industrial complex is not focused on using incarceration to prepare for mass deaths, then codifying the criminalization of homelessness would be ridiculous insanity

#SCOTUS


Update 2: fuck


So, uh... this was about a different #SCOTUS ruling, further into the future. The mention of "Johnson v Grants Pass" is referring to how the decision overturns today's decision on Johnson v Grants Pass.

At least, I hope we're not in one of the timelines where no such ruling ever happens. The chances aren't as good as 99% anymore, given that we've diverged from all timelines where the decision went better to begin with.

Yeah I'm not sure about laeserin thinking she can convince opensats to change their model, I just like talking to all you people


Thinking about it more, laeserin was getting at a better explanation from the start

It's about bias

If forms are the system, it's biased in favor of devs who will fill out forms

Those are devs who have time to check if the form seems worth filling out, devs who feel comfy giving the form whatever info it asks for

I think if you're trying to bias your pool of devs in favor of the best ones you probably don't want to filter out the ones you're filtering out there

Why do you want a system biased in favor of devs who have time and trust these forms?


No

Here's as plain and simple as I can make it for you: you're asking me to enter a lottery where I pay with time that's worth more than a lottery ticket and personal info that's also worth more than - guess what - this thing that they have at the store already any time I want one, a lottery ticket

You say someone has to be extremely productive for this to apply - I ask you to do the math on what returns anyone from a welfare recipient to a billionaire will get, spending an amount of time filling out forms for grants, and do the same math for them spending the equivalent amount of money they accrue in the same time, on lottery tickets

If you wouldn't suggest buying a lottery ticket, why would you suggest filling out the form?


The money is not going to me & shouldn't be & probably won't be even when it should

Money should be going to the people building ngit (without them having to fill out any forms) & money will probably be going to them when better decisions are being made


The whole point of the discussion has been which methods of communication people use to ask for help, I thought


A decentralized system would interest me because I'd have more trust in the money going to good projects and less money going to Manchurian or toxic shit.

When I need money in the future, a decentralized decision making process might help me too, but I'm such a highly targeted individual that I'm not even sure if it's the feds targeting me or just most people I meet hating me on their own, so maybe not.


The fact that I'm not currently asking for help does make a difference.

In the future, I will need help, and I will probably ask for it without filling out forms. I may die, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.


What about option C - I don't trust anyone who asks me to fill out forms for grant money without approaching me directly first


Will Biden drop out?

He can't wait to see if another debate helps him bounce back before deciding - the next one on the schedule is September 10, too much closer to the election

Will Biden buy Bitcoin tho? Probably not so who cares


I guarantee Bitcoin will help the next president more than the next president will help Bitcoin

I also guarantee the next president will not appreciate the help and will just be upset about Bitcoin undermining the power of the white house

Doesn't matter if it's Trump, Biden, RFK Jr, Jill Stein, or Obama

Maybe if we elect Vermin Supreme things might be different


Didn't she like, oversee a dev project though? Maybe more than analyst

Writer and visionary or something like that


I'm not filling out forms for a grant bro. If I start getting something done I would get a grant for, I will have even less reason to fill out forms for a grant since I'll already be getting the shit done without the grant. Who is this system for? You apparently


Yes.

The other options are also more politically neutral.

Many Nostriches have had frequent prior interactions (or run-ins) with the people dispersing the OpenSats budget. So long as the process is intransparent or unclear, they will worry about accusations of favoritism or a lack of impartiality of the evaluators.

Whereas, if you simply ask for donations or subscriptions, then the other person is spending their own money and it's their own business.

That might help explain why some of the most visible, productive and engaged devs have effectively recused themselves from applying for grants, whereas many relative unknowns apply. This is leading to an increasing bifurcation between the quality and amount of work being done and the grants being spent.
