Ramsey Dukes (real name Lionel Snell) is a pretty big name in occult publishing. This book is very well known and all magick people in my generation have read it:

This is free and well written but the color scheme is hideous:

He had a day job working in the defense industry for a long time and is pretty coy to stay one mm on this side of the dogmatic materialism divide. Many of his readers do not know he is standing there. Mostly he spent his life hanging out with occultists because they had better parties and better drugs, which is an attitude I can sympathize with. : )
That's very compelling new information. We'd need to see that math running in a space simulator like this one...
Let's see if you plug those dynamics into an existing earth-space simulator, what happens. I'll bet the Russians are WAY AHEAD of everyone else on this science. They have the most to lose if it's true, all to gain (because they own the pole), and they are the ones that discovered it!
BTW, kudos to the Russians! They discovered this by pure human experimentation in orbit. Those cosmonauts aren't just courageous, they are clever in zero-g!
Yes, please re-tweet it. Or tell your boss, in whichever native language you have. Chinese? Hebrew? Russian? Latin?
This reddit forum /r/xrmed is crawling with operatives, so it's hard to tell which one you work for. Art this point in the state of the world it doesn't matter anymore, though. Your church or party bosses are behind the curve again and the last ones to know what's really going on - especially behind their backs in the food chain.
It's the dictator's dilema and it is always end. They've been out ideas and in freefall since 2012. Now their credibility and power are in an unstoppable fall before all of our eyes on the Internet.
Please pass on the book above, or have have them listen to the podcast themselves, if they know English. HA
PODCAST: The Dictator’s Dilemma: The Chinese Communist Party’s Strategy for Survival
This natural force of human nature is your fate if you support them. Always has been. It's a force that applies to all corrupt organizations - especially churches and the communist party in crisis like this. These monster organizations always implode or rot from the very top - THE OWNERS. That's how realityalwaysbatslast.com
How about taking the time to read your own links which you post in here as "evidence" to back up your side of the debate. It is clear that you are basically just Googling keywords, grasping at straws and posting your conglomeration into this thread hoping it saves your argument. Your link about Efail also includes a reference to Protonmail's statement on the matter: https://protonmail.com/blog/pgp-vulnerability-efail/
The only argument that Wired and the EFF made is that PGP isn't user friendly to use properly, we already know this, we also know that if you do use it properly, not even the NSA can break it, which is why clients are targeted instead of the PGP encryption itself.
How about doing it on https://zoom.us/ ?
I heard Zoom has temporarily lifted all restrictions on free meetings, so it may be possible for an unlimited amount of people joining for free.
It's just a question of setting up the meeting in Zoom and then posting the generated invite all over Reddit. Better specify its UK time zone though.
>The wrong kind of tipping point.
I beg to differ.
What's Bernie Sanders plan for tackling the Methane Dragon?
>On the other hand, relative to the enormous stakes involved, the paper just reveals how dreadfully thin and tenuous our knowledge of social tipping points is.
I think these klutzes have been hanging out in the wrong part of the library. If liberals haven't heard of it then these self-centered little assholes think it must be new to the whole world. Here morons. Is this what you've been looking for? Wakey, wakey!
Fuck I hate liberals more and more each passing day.
Does anyone here has any experience with Solid? I wonder if it would be useful to contribute to it.
My first feeling is that even if it could end up working well it may be waste of time if it's true that we will loose access to internet anyway. It seems a decade too late. Creating spaces outside of internet and technology in general seems to me like much better use of time and use the internet that we have (as broken as it is) to push people towards those more human spaces.
McFearsome is silly. I think most non-governmental observational Arctic scientists (the only believable ones) estimate BOE by around 2025. Once we have a BOE the ice will retreat at an accelerating rate each year until there is almost no ice even in Winter. Once that happens the chance of a +50Gt burp of clathrates in the ESAS will increase immensely. Such a burp would increase global temperatures by about 0.6 degrees C in weeks. The weather will get very erratic after that and crops will fail.
But before all that happens there are plenty of Black Swans. One is SRM and other forms of geoengineering. One is feedbacks we don't know about yet. The other is cooling from a nuclear war or volcanic activity. A meteorite might hit us. Aliens may come down and save us or exterminate us, and the geographic poles may flip.
I would bet on the last one. It's the Great Reset no one saw coming.
Yeh, Koch's whole take on the symbols is from a different perspective altogether. Alan Watts referred to this book just once in all of the many of his talks I listened to. Koch was also a well known type designer. It would be interesting to hear what The Lord's thoughts are on this. Another fascinating work he only cited once is https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Teachings-Tibetan-Buddhist-Sects/dp/1684220718
It's really a sarcastic post.
Greenland will melt much faster than they think, because it isn't a big block of ice, it's more like a structurally unstable layer cake.
When Greenland melts enough, it might unleash a Black Swan that I explain in this book.
No sale on pitchforks but it would be poetic justice to use their own tools against them.
It was a chuckle to see the promo on Reddit that'd picked up on the word simulation - "simulate life for better or worse" it said. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.candywriter.bitlife
Obviously not the same bargain seekers that had the good sense and thrift to spend $13.12 on my book.
Get it? (I mean the 1312 bit?). Okay, you got it.

I case anyone is interested, the antidote to this bullshit is here: https://www.amazon.com/Sex-Dawn-Stray-Modern-Relationships/dp/1491512407
Looks like a good book. The author also wrote "Civilized to Death" which I also enjoyed.
Thanks to Ryan, I'm just getting into the audio book of this:
https://www.amazon.com/Sex-Dawn-Stray-Modern-Relationships/dp/1491512407
Great timing, because in my writing I'm about one chapter away from wading into this topic. Gender, sex, life and death are what the politics of extinction are all about. Strange how we are only allowed to talk about them in kindergarten terms.
I put it all down to the alien cortex suppressing Eros. Crime of the century, but no one will say so. But I think approaching it as the "Patriarchal suppression of Eros" is too easy. Tackling it as the "Matriarch's suppression of Eros" is a more cunning approach.
>I didn't read your first book
Whaaaaaaaaaat??????
Don't you want to hear how 2020 ends? Better read it quickly: https://www.amazon.com/St-George-Methane-Dragon-climate-fiction/dp/1652114904
>My plan is to write a book that allows people to think about the whole situation we are in in a different way, such that a new political-ideological alliance can emerge, not just in the UK but across the western world and beyond. But it can only happen when collapse goes mainstream. People need to be scared. We're looking at 5 to 10 years before that happens, I think.
I tried that with a novel. Not many people read it. But I didn't market or promote it much either, so that's to be expected. It's also quite possible the book was crap and people have been too polite to let me know the truth.
Anyway, one or two people asked me to write another one so that's what I'm doing. I post each installment here on this sub for criticism and editing suggestions.
Maybe you should do the same.
>I expect starvation, not temperature or sea levels, to be the predominant driving force behind mass migration and therefore I expect the die-off to begin much sooner and to accompany governmental collapse rather than precede it.
It will play out differently in different places. In some cases the government or economy will collapse first, in others the ecosystem will collapse first.
>I don't believe that there will be a new, sustainable world system that emerges because I expect changes in the agricultural system to permanently reduce the carrying capacity of the planet and make modern industry (for the most part) impossible.
There was a world system before modern industry was invented, and there may well be one after it has ceased to function.
So long as we assume there are at least some survivors, then there is likely to be some sort of world system. There will still be international trade, of some description. Even if the only habitable bits of the planet are the polar regions, they will trade with each other.
>This sub is largely anprim, so the prevailing thought seems to be "burn it down and pray that we're not too late to prevent runaway warming, and if we are, at least we went down doing the right thing". I do subscribe to this way of thinking, but I definitely wouldn't mind if you posted additional content more along the lines of your post.
I am familiar with anarcho-primitivism. I am the UK's leading authority on fungi foraging (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Edible-Mushrooms-Foragers-Britain-Europe/dp/0857843974). I teach people to forage for wild food for a living. Much as I love that stuff, we cannot go backwards. We can only go forwards.
I work on Sundays, especially in the autumn.
> getting new ideologies to replace them is probably counter-productive (since ideologies and religious are the problem, not the solution).
OK, this requires further examination. I am not so sure they are always the problem, nor can I see any other way to do this. I believe the problem is not ideologies per se, but that currently there are few (or no) appropriate ones available.
Trying to get people to drop their existing worldview without offering them something else - even just a foundational structure - is going to be impossible. That structure has to be very carefully considered so that it keeps out things that ought to be kept out, but allows sufficient scope to let in things that aren't harmful, even if they aren't to everybody's taste.
This is particularly important for a specific group of people: the materialistic atheist/skeptic/determinist types. They have already rejected all worldviews that aren't compatible with hardline materialism, and feel threatened by many of them. I believe it is going to be necessary to knock the foundation out from under their specific belief system, and unless they are simultaneously offered an alternative they don't view as a threat, then they will cling to their existing irrational foundation. That alternative isn't a religion. It's this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mind-Cosmos-Materialist-Neo-Darwinian-Conception/dp/0199919755/
