Are you a member of aSHIFT?NigelT wrote: ↑Sun May 26, 2024 1:14 amI identified with some of these questions you put after general semantics. I never really thought about the other categories. Are you a member of aSHIFT? Do you think of daily people you meet in real life in those categories or was it a generalization of Internet people? I am trying to make sense of this open public forum with 10 or less people in my two months.pasterno wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2024 3:33 am general semanticists (which I consider myself) that try to uncover what we see.

No new members have come here since me. A person off the streets would have left. What is your view on the state of this forum? And what was the time of your previous response in this thread? I can't tell what is going on with the members. I could name all the members of an open public forum. That doesn't seem logical to me.
There is nothing like a "member of ashift", this is just a guy on this forum. I generally dislike aSHIFTs posts, but I dislike your trolling as well.
What is your view on the state of this forum?
I think most people don't care about truth and prefer to parrot the black screen. I call those normies. This is +99% of the people.
Then as I wrote I think there are "hyperfocals", "evil eliters", "exotic entertainment seekers", "paid agents" (to derail and demotivate), "psychotic people, trolls and general semanticists in this small 1% group.
I think ashift, napoleon, davej might be psychotic, and maybe you as well, they are often emotionally unstable, hostile, aggressive, erratic, sometimes kind and loving, their posts are largely incomprehensible. This could have been caused by substantial use of drugs or alcohol over long periods of time. That doesn't mean there can be some truth in their thinking.
This is not strange, as there is something lonely about discovering the reality of things. I remember that after research I told some friends I think nukes and satellites are not real. I expected some to say: "wow, how do you come to that conclusion?" but I was met laughter and mocking.
Social exclusion is psychologically burdening.

I think this forum is great as it's one of the few places that offer a place to question the lies of the system.
Questioning global narratives that need to be protected by all means, brings weird company.
And you need to get at peace with it, if you drop the mainstream this is your new in-group (at least in the open forums):
"hyperfocals", "evil eliters", "exotic entertainment seekers", "paid agents", "psychotic people, trolls and general semanticists.
Questioning presented narratives is a very fringe activity. I've looked extensively online, but there are just a small few places to talk, like this space.
I'm thankful for that.
