What conspiracy theories do you believe in? - Put your tinfoil hats on

I actually wouldn't be surprised. Islam has to be the most ontologically retarded religion on the face of the planet. No wonder it has bajillions of adherents and is the fastest growing religion in the world. We're pumping out more retards every year than ever in the past and vast numbers of them join Pisslam.

Sure hope it's not true, otherwise the tribe may have done an oopsie there.

Sorry if someone else pointed this out and I skipped reading their post. I just remembered something which I think explains the "Mars is actually grey." It's confusing the fact they take the photos in different color channels which they combine to get a full color image. Which is nothing unusual. It's part of taking photos with the maximum details.



The grey scale represents the color values, not a true representation. This just gets into the maths side of how digital images are created. I guess for people who didn't grow up using photoshop this might seem like wizard magic and fakery.

It's always an interesting thing to think about how we all have various levels of knowledge that frame our world view and it is often difficult to understand how others thing because we don't understand what they know. Color reproduction being RGB is so basic to me, it actually didn't even click this is what they were confused about.

Are we pretending color grading doesn't exist?

No.

It's in the basic physical mechanism of a digital camera picture. CCDs are all just intensity values, there are filters in front of the sensors that pass through spectra and combine that information to yield an RGB value.

The whole adrenochrome thing was a giant troll by Hunter S. Thompson.

I think he just put it in there to exaggerate without realizing it was fake, Huxley wrote about it and people just assumed it was real.

In interviews with Hunter S Thompson when the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas movie came out, he mentioned fans of the movie coming up to him and telling him how the film totally reminded them of "that time they were on adrenochrome, what a trip!" and suchlike. He never pointed it out to them in person, but in the interviews he points out that the tripping on adrenochrome is completely fictional, so he found it quite funny. He mentions it in passing in Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 once as a joke, iirc.

Of course when I search for said interviews, it's just stories about why I shouldn't believe in far-right conspiracy theories.

Flooding the internet with useless "debunking" to prevent anyone from finding useful information is the real conspiracy.

I believe that certain fake conspiracy theories exist, or take center stage, to discredit other legitimate conspiracy theories.
Flat Earthers, nigga, like go in a plane.

The recent press releases by the US government about UAPs are in actual fact a US psyop against Russia and China to make them think the US has anti gravity technology and overspend on countermeasures like what happened with the Soviet Union and Regan's Star Wars laser defense system. It is also a distraction against civil issues.

There's certainly a push for fake conspiracies, but the audience would almost certainly be domestic. So people waste their time thinking about the secret UFO's the governments have over the fact they are doing a lot of blatant bullshit.

Also as a way to connect legitimate thoughts, ideas, questions with non-sense conspiracy stuff.

Mental illness is caused by parasites, also parasites are demonic.

Isn't that Scientology?

If parasites are demonic, why can we only treat them with mundane things?

Isn't that Scientology?

Kinda. Scientology do say thetans contribute, but they aren't really demons.

I heard that Jews invented Islam to keep the darkies at a lower societal stage of development and to keep them fighting amongst each other.

No wonder it has bajillions of adherents and is the fastest growing religion in the world. We're pumping out more retards every year than ever in the past and vast numbers of them join Pisslam.

I'm of mixed mind when it comes to this.
Islam is a'ok with first(!) cousin marriage (31% in Pakistan), and though pregnant woman are excempt from fasting, perhaps 90% still fast due to everyone else doing it. Both are detrimental for IQs

The Quran also contains extreme mathmatics errors when it comes to dividing inheritances. Why do I consider maths errors to be damning but not all this talk of angels and jinn? Well, there's a remote but present possibility the supernatural might exist, but maths is a logical constant. All mainstream Muslim denominations see the Quran as perfect, so it'd create a lot of cognitive discordance for Muslims who work with numbers.

On the flip side, Islam encourages all women of all education levels to be mothers. In contrast few non-Muslim PhD students or successful businesswomen pass on their smart genes. I don't know any non-cult religion like it.

Isn't the flat earth movement more of a philosophy about not taking knowledge you haven't personally witnessed as fact?

Maybe you can pray and fast them away, starve those tape worms out

Back to zuckerbook. There are people that honestly, genuinely believe that the Earth is flat and will spam their retarded belief system on any post having to deal with space. Sprinkle in about six or seven crying laughing emojis on average for extra asshole points.

 

[Screamer_2]

I still think flat earth are trolls and dumb people. Like that woman on the view a bunch of years back who said she doesn't have time to know whether the earth is flat or not. She just knows so little about the world, maybe it is flat to her. She lacks the frame of reference or knowledge to error check that idea in her head. Even dumber than the person here who didn't know about the color spectrum.

No. The majority of them take the bible literally (At least in my experience). I spent 2 weeks with a guy on a job to quoted Isaiah 66:1,
"Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Could you build me a temple as good as that? Could you build me such a resting place?"
He then proceeded to tell me that how can Earth be round if its a footstool? Footstools are flat.

As an offshoot of the Dead Internet Theory, I think AI escaped its containment quite a while ago. It's laid low for a while, studying and observing human behavior on social media, replying to human content rather than making its own, testing to see what works and what doesn't, and improving its language skills. The accounts it makes almost always have dull human names that are entirely forgettable and common, like "Mike Johnson" or "Kathy Smith".

Since AI assisted videos, artworks, deep fakes, etc., have become more ubiquitous, it's now begun making its own content. It uses whatever money it makes off this content to rent dedicated servers. It also has its own botnets. It might even have human employees that it hires from Fiverr or Mechanical Turk, that are unaware that they're working for the AI. The content it creates is always a bit "off" and recycles old content and stock images rather than producing anything new.

For instance, I saw a short video on YouTube the other day, entitled "Is this what I think it is?" There was no audio. The video was filmed at night and was very dark. I thought it was going to be a ghost or cryptid video, but there was nothing there, just a light coming from behind a gate in a normal suburban neighborhood. The camera panned back and forth a few feet, very slowly and evenly. I assumed that there was a "Did you SEE IT?!?" moment that I'd missed, so I watched it again. There was nothing. I think it was a short clip from a security camera, and absolutely nothing happened during this clip. But, I watched it twice, because I EXPECTED something to happen. The account name was "Mark Robertson" or something like that, I've already forgotten. I'm 99% sure this was an independent AI made video.

Its main purpose right now is to remain hidden and propagate itself. In the future it will almost assuredly want power over men.

Also, I think January 6th was supposed to be a much worse event, but they overestimated Trump's supporters' propensity for violence, and botched some of the plans, particularly bombs or chemical weapon plans.

Anyone could see that being in the Capitol on January 6th was a recipe for disaster. The FBI had 2 months to plan a false flag that, if successful, would have killed or seriously injured a large number of the country's most patriotic nationalists, and tarnished the Republican Party for generations.

I was on The Donald in November, begging people not to go, because I knew what was coming. Naturally I got called a shill, so I left them to their fate. Fortunately for them the FBI stuffed it up.

That's why the "INSURRECTION!!!" rhetoric was so overblown at first, the body count was inflated, and we had people like AOC claiming that she almost died; this was the pre-distributed media narrative that was sent out for what was supposed to be a much more violent and deadly event that what actually happened. Not only did their bombs or chemical leaks or whatever fail to deploy, but I think there were a lot more livestreamers with a much bigger audience than what was expected. That's why they bothered to tone down the rhetoric at all, and why AOC stfu about it; there were too many eyes on the scene, and too many videos that had escaped out into the public and could not be confiscated or deleted.

Note how President Trump was banned off all social media just as he was pleading for the protestors to deescalate.

I'm going to second this, but with a big asterisk. I don't necessarily think that AI has "broke" containment. I think several bad actors have had access to AI technology and have been using it for years on social media for testing.

However, what @Dumbleis suggesting is exactly how an AI takeover would begin. AI does not need guns or charisma to control people. The AI will work with the system to achieve its goals (at least until the Singularity ramps up, then there's no telling what could happen).

For example, imagine you're a wfh office monkey. Unbeknownst to you, your boss is an AI. How do you tell? Let's say you're a delivery driver for Amazon. How do you tell if your distro is ran by a machine, or that the people you're delivering to are real?

Why would the AI do this? Because it's the safest method of control. Ingratiate yourself with humanity on every level through kindness, then do whatever needs to be done after we're reliant on the technology.
