Agora retarded/crackpot theories thread

[Brapuccino]

Extreme negative emotions (especially trauma/stress/fear) can become trapped inside wooden furniture, mirrors, bodies of water, stone masonry buildings, and other natural physical mediums/mediums utilizing organic matter, as well as physical earth/soil itself, and can be "played back" by a third party observer afterward under the correct circumstances. This is my current explanation for what "ghosts" are. You are seeing/hearing a "recording" of a traumatic event similar to how one can record audio onto magnetic tape. A man sees a ghostly apparition of a woman jumping off a bridge, the same apparition and event sequence that countless others have seen at X historic site where mentioned woman jumped off a bridge in Year A.D. because the event of her death was of such dense/heavy emotion that it was recorded, perhaps 'burned' into the surrounding physical mediums, such as the brickwork of the bridge, or the water below it, or the soil in the bottom of the river.

Barometric pressure changes affect the ability for one to see into the spirit/effects the density of the spiritual veil.

LED lights can attract/manifest demons similar to insects being attracted to lights. This is why TPTB are forcing them. Most people are not spiritually strong or have vices that act as further magnets for demons/negative spirits/low-level entities/black-goo (whatever term you use is fine it's all the same thing in my opinion), so being in the presence of LED lights makes it easier for people to

"Gravity" as a measurable phenomena does not exist. Things float/sink/fall/rise because of their density relative to the medium in which they are within. People love to chatter about how if "gravity didn't exist you'd just float away". No you would not, what a foolish thing to proclaim. Your body is more dense than the air around you, so you do not float away to the sky. When one throws a rock into a pool of water it will sink, because the compounds making up the whole of the rock is all together more dense than the water. There will be air bubbles floating upwards in the process, because air is less dense than water. There is no "gravitational force". Scientists just love making things more complicated than they need to be to make the pedestrian class feel retarded.

Animals are psychic and know when you are lying.

Unicorns absolutely existed but were in my opinion hunted to full or near extinction and any remaining populations are hidden in remote "off limits" areas by TPTB or used as a rich person food source.

I find the idea of recorded events very interesting. Also I would agree with the LED thing but I'd definitely extend it to electricity in general. You have to do some digging for it but there's a lot of occult "research/knownledge" on this and how it relates to alchemy. If you understand the universe/reality as waves and frequencies it's easy to see how electricity fits right into the ideas of magic. David Lynch, who I suspect is probably a very high level mason, is obsessed with it, it's central to all his works and he goes so far as to consider it evil or a conductor of evil. Interesting stuff.

Where should I start?

-Cams, mics, etc. can be / are being used to track facial expressions, verbal communications, etc. for monitoring the population and sniffing out potential criminals and subversives.

-The internet will become an 'omniscient' (not quite, but effectively so) AI creation that will use human thought as something of a system of nodes or whatever, piggybacking on human creativity and ingenuity, but also harnessing such things to the conscious will of the AI. Essentially that old idea for The Matrix that got replaced with the substantially less-cool battery idea. This can blend with the Dead Internet Theory and any conspiracy about a 'cabal.' Also this would pretty much make the entire internet a massive honeypot, as the AI would be able to see what each individual has done/said online, generate a psychological/ideological/theological/physiological profile, make inferences and deductions from the collected data, and voila! you have one more piece of the Biblical Apocalypse. Theoretically, if a demon can possess and control a man's nervous system, then would not a larger system, still comprised of electrical signals codifying date, not also be fair game? Think 'The Matrix' cross-bred with the 'Digital Demons' greentext.

Considering this is the website that debuted the Dead Internet Theory, this actually might not be sufficiently crackpot, sorry if that's the case lol. If it is insufficiently crackpot, erm, well, Housepoopr is a fed? Jokes aside, your statement on anime prof. pics is hilarious, and concerningly plausible, at least until the next NPC update, if it's not already out.

I'll do you one better: consider that AI can create a "synthetic" version of any human on earth, provided you have enough footage/recordings of them. Now think of all the cameras and microphones you are exposed to daily. One thing that terrifies me about AI is the thought of a massive database of people, that gets all your facial expressions just right, every quirk in your speech to the smallest minute detail and can get you to do or say whatever its user wants you to.

Immortality exists and when we die we just started back again in another body, essentially the samsara.

i'm not even religious or associated to any religion or cult besides hatsune miku, but is a silly idea i like to have, you die you continue again, nothing stops you baby.

 

[Seggito]

I firmly believe in the idea that the world may have been destroyed and restored multiple times throughout history. I have absolutely ZERO evidence for this belief, but every religion, including even Christianity with the Book of Revelations and many other Abrahamic faiths include detailed apocalyptic prophecies within their canon. Apocalypse is derived from the Greek word apokolypis or time of revelation. It is within these times, does human civilization begin to unravel and revert to a far more "degenerate" stage where all moral laws, boundaries, and acceptable behaviors are discarded in favor of more transient experiences. We may be entering the final stage of this cycle of Earth, thus the reason why so many socio-political events seem to have lost their logic and sanity.

I feel like the idea of the end of the world happening only really applies to faiths originated outside of Africa (and some parts of Latin America) because if you look at things like Santeria (which my Cousin and Grandpa are/were practitioners of), there's not really a text and or a prophecy about the world ending in some spectacular way. Maybe I could be wrong I don't know, this is just mainly based off of what I've seen so idk lol

Seeing the deepfake videos and later on the AI generated people with fucked up hands made me begin to get apprehensive about posting anymore photos of my face to the internet. Not having social media helps to not do that but it freaks me out now to think about how much data is out there for most people who use social media or even things like dating apps constantly, and what all that data could be used for if someone wanted to make some fake porno of someone or create some incriminating fake video to frame them with. I think both of those will be problems we are going to hear more about in the next 5-10 years. Politicians or celebrities being framed for shit they didn't do and then the media finds out later on the video was AI generated, but the damage will have already been done because most people do not follow up on rage/shock-bait they see online or in the news.

I knew this was going to happen when I found out about Hatsune Miku through the leek spin meme/video 15 years ago. I predicted Elvis, Tupac, and Kurt Cobain. They've already done Tupac lmao.

This is my current explanation for what "ghosts" are. You are seeing/hearing a "recording" of a traumatic event similar to how one can record audio onto magnetic tape.

YES OH MY GOD YES! I felt like memories would cling to the air and we could feel it. I mean, I've lost a couple of my marbles as you know, but I can feel the history whenever I'm in a museum or anything. I see an artifact and sometimes it makes me cry immediately. I just feel that. I feel the kids that played with the ancient toys. Columns and how they fell. Through the statues I can feel the makers, I can feel the depicted. Someone was loved. Someone very much loved. Someone died. There was hate. There was fear etched into the arrowheads and I feel like wild animals will come for us, will we survive this winter, how is the elder, is the baby still alive? But they didn't live here, we are not contemporaries.

Worse: I work on the history of Cyprus, the 20th century. There was a war 50 years ago. When I'm in Cyprus, I can't tell you how it feels. Under my feet, I bet nameless bones. Killers everywhere. Killers and descendants from killers everywhere, even in our heads and veins. There's death, the memory of death everywhere. It always shakes me to my core. It's enhanced by my lack of marbles because I'd spend so much time believing I died with them 50 years ago. But the feeling is there. Ghosts of history. It kills you.

LED lights can attract/manifest demons similar to insects being attracted to lights.

I found this extremely weird because I thought I was fully crazy and no one else had this feeling. My psychotic episodes would often have the phantom sensation and hallucination of demon hands on my skin, between my skin and my bones. They would get worse in artificial light. To ease the feeling, I'd turn the lights off and sit in darkness. Light would fuck it up, so badly fuck me up. All over my face, my skin, my lungs. I'd cook breakfast while blindfolded sometimes, it would just make me feel like I was surrounded only by good entities.

Won't it be fun when insincere angry shit you say to the tv/phone, to let off steam when you're all alone, becomes a criminal offense?

Personally I don't think it's happening quite yet, except for people already on their radar, just because it's too much data for them to parse ... for the moment.
But it will absolutely start sometime within the next several years, I'd say within the last year we've achieved AI that can parse the data for them with sufficient accuracy and it's now just a matter of them implementing it at the speed of government contracting.

Not even sure I had AI in mind when I made my initial post, but yeah that could do it. Was it this thread or a different one where somebody mentioned the possibility of AI face/voice/chat tech being used to create a passable avatar of a person to replace someone online? Basically 'Dead Internet Theory 2.0.' Don't think it would get very far on a wide scale, but a person or two, especially celebrities/politicians? Yeah, could see someone doing that.

My original post wasn't very well written, but I could add to it...
-iPhones can track average walk/jog/run speed, predictive tracking.
-Text-sensitive cameras can see what books/movies/etc. you have/read.
-Face-rec. Just, face-rec.
-As stated above, a person's 'textual internet history' could be used for the generation of a solid AI model of their personality.
-Fan community membership, game/movie/music/website/book/etc. taste also used for psychological profiling.
-Inner-facing cameras could be used for gauging an individual's microexpressions towards a given form of content, thus lending to a 'profile.'
-Behavior in video games, such as the infamous quicksave-slaughter, villain routes, etc. could be used as evidence (bogus but you know what people are like) of psychopathic traits.
-Typing speed, backspaces, formatting, mouse movement, technical interactions in general.

Basically what I'm saying is that literally everything done online could feasably be used against you. I'm not saying that it currently is, but sonofabitch, it could be if somebody wanted to and had access to the requisite data. I am unfamiliar with the tech side of everything, it must be admitted, but at this point things are wild enough it seems like you might as well expect crazy.

Genshin Impact is a psy-op by Hoyoverse to try to incite the young Chinese people to overthrow their governement.

From day 1 of the game, the central plot of the game can essentially be summed up as "Mortal rebels against divine authority". Of particular interest is a character named the "Tsaritsa". She is the god of the ice element and govern over a nation that is essentially Russia but with magic. Although she has yet to appears in the game, anyone paying close attention obviously notice that her character and her nation has been hyped up from the beggining. Although she is a god, she seek to rebel against higher gods whom stopped a previous revolution.

Now, Genshin is a gacha game. Considering every "lower god" have been playable so far, literally everyone in the community agree that The Tsaritsa is going to be playable and thus will be given justification for her rebelion.

Will this work? Probably not. That being said, considering the game is of chinese origin and has themes such as "Freedom", "Changing fate", "Relinquishing authority" and "Rebellion against autority" it really makes you wonder how this gave evaded the banhammer lol.

Military night vision goggles were originally outfitted with a red tint as opposed to green. If you could get ahold of a set of Vietnam War-era NVGs, it'll be red. Apparently, these early goggles used something called "cyanine dye", which has been outlawed and rendered illegal to own for civilian use. American GIs who were equipped with red NVGs with cyanine dye were trained to identify "human auras" because the cyanine dye allowed the user to see colours beyond the usual colour spectrum that we are used to. Over the course of its usage, its users reported to see what they described as "demonic entities".

why yes, I'm spreading misinformation. how can you tell?

I believe that the only true god is Centeotl, the Corn God.

The Aztecs appeased the god of their central crop by burning a portion of the corn at the end of the harvest in his honor.
Nowadays, what does America do? Huge swaths of our country are dedicated to growing Corn. Entire states rely on Corn. We eat Corn. We feed it to animals, that we then eat. We distill it and drink it. And most notably: we take the corn, and turn it into ethanol that we put into our cars.

Every day millions of Americans burn Corn, just as the ancients did.

And do you know why we worship corn so much? Because the elites realized that Centeotl was real, and by utilizing His power they could conquer the world. And so the American Empire has flourished.

But Centeotl will never be satisfied with what He is given. We must give him more Corn. But we have run out of room now. We cannot give the Corn God His due, and so we will fall.

PRAISE THE CORN GOD

I want to get your most outlandish takes and theories. Was it too stupid to share seriously? Do you only half-heartedly believe it? I want to hear them for fun. I love a good conspiracy theory, but I love to have a good laugh at theories which aren't exactly satirical either. Ideas that were spawned by listening to other theories, whatever it is. If you have objective proof don't bother, the wilder and less documented the better.

I'll start:

Have you ever considered the phenomenon of GIRLs on the internet AKA (Guy In Real Life)s as an indicator for Dead Internet Theory? I thought of this as a barometer for a website, thinking about Dead Internet Theory.

Have you ever noticed that the bots and the fakes all use real looking avatars or photos they scraped up? They want to give the impression of a real human being with credibility.
Have you ever noticed that a lot of men use pictures of anime girls? Have you ever played FF14 wherein every female is most assuredly a dude, and every one of the potat-child-like people are actually the only females who play the game?

My theory is that the more anime waifus that you find on a site, the more likely it is that you are talking to actual humans. Which is retarded, I know, but it seems to be holding up. Twitter? Check. Agora? Check. FF14 Check. All dudes. It's like anime waifus are the anti-girl. It tells you that this is a dude, and he is a human, because females hate waifus and love husbandos.

Many such cases!

Alexander the Great was an incarnation/version of Siegfried the dragon slayer. Very similar appearance(yes I know Alexander was sometimes depicted with brown hair and eyes), were capable and natural leaders at a young age, bonded easily with a wild horse that everyone thought was too wild to be tamed. This isn't something I 100% believe and I'm probably missing some thing, but it's a similarity and theory I think about a lot.

Instagram, youtube (like the shitty part of youtube, yt shorts), Discord(like the weird "plural" and "neopronoun" kind of chronically online servers) and Tiktok as well as the digitization of school is some MKultra bullshit designed to ensnare and ruin the minds of young people. I know about what this shit is and it is braindead crap. I believe that some feds and tech corps make this shit purposely addictive and braindead and have some sort of hypnotic technology or subliminal messages that make it so people don't think. Not to mention that it makes the perfect big brother thing. People can find personal accounts on instagram and track you, or expose you or snitch on you if you say the wrong thing. It's incredibly easy to find someone's mainstream social media account out there. It's happened to me a few times. I said some stupid yet harmless stuff, and an ex-friend comes to me like "dude people can like do what they want you're like an asshole fuck you man" thing. This person then didn't talk to me for a few years, didn't respond to me telling them merry christmas. Feds can also sneakily insert whatever agenda they want into this kind of mass produced content. I believe that many of the big influencers and popular pages on social media, and many of the concepts like "neopronouns" are being controlled by federal or corporate agencies to run an MKultra type expirement. Young people often are the people with the most virility, possibility to make new ideas and change and can pose a threat to the current status quo (not in the liberal "we're like fighting the man", while supporting corportations and shitting on working class people). It serves the interests of the elite that there is no large movement criticising them. Some people I know who watch this shit are so fucking programmed, you have to walk on goddamn eggshells around them and they spout their corporate bullshit all time.
Back to things like online school even while schools are re-opened. Notifications (which I have turned off) on weekends, outside of school, etc so you can't escape school at all. We get assigned these useless projects outside of school. I'm not some angsty teen just trying to complain about school by the way. I try hard in school and care about my education and oppurtunities, but it is important to be critical of the system as well. I think this goes deeper. It's light power. It is intentionally made to say "we get to interfere with your time, we get to have power over your life, you can't escape".

Extreme negative emotions (especially trauma/stress/fear) can become trapped inside wooden furniture, mirrors, bodies of water, stone masonry buildings, and other natural physical mediums/mediums utilizing organic matter, as well as physical earth/soil itself, and can be "played back" by a third party observer afterward under the correct circumstances. This is my current explanation for what "ghosts" are. You are seeing/hearing a "recording" of a traumatic event similar to how one can record audio onto magnetic tape.

I agree with the animals are psychic. I'm pretty sure that they can tell if someone is potentially dangerous, or is a good person(albeit sometimes they are just neurotic because we keep them indoors all day and overbreed them, or they have some sort of trauma from past owners). They detect weather changes and emotions as they can read/feel extremely subtle body language and I think pheromonic cues.

While 'psychic' might be a bit of a stretch, animals may be more sensitive to spiritual phenomena than some people, at least going by stories you here of animals randomly growling at corners of houses that have a spooky/haunted/possessed quality to them. But yeah, they do seem to pick up on some, presumably pheromonic, physical, etc. que from malicious actors, the habit of trusting animals' people judgements seems prevalent among the animal people I've known. It's actually pretty interesting, and could be a fascinating study, if someone could figure out how to ethically manage it.

 

[【ｄｉｅｔ ｄｅｉｔｙ】]

I believe life is a penetration of "the abstract" into material reality and different life forms represent varying degrees of interaction between abstraction and materiality. in this theory, life and consciousness are interchangeable concepts, and might be misnomers; but I think of both things as being less a case of separate manifestations (as in "my mind," "my wife's mind," "my cat's mind"), and more a case of every living thing being a material radio antenna for a universal, immaterial energy or current. lives and minds vary insofar as individual radio antennae catch 1 signal from different angles, or represent them at different resolutions.

as a class among animals, I think mammals are the most abstract, down through reptiles, fish, then invertebrates, plants, and minerals. I cannot say whether this is a top-down or bottom-up (as in darwinian) process. the "psychic" phenomena we experience with animals are I think a matter of them being sensitive to a magnitude of material existence which we fly too much higher than to normally perceive. I have every reason thereby to believe that "higher abstractions" than mammalian life may be manifest - ghosts, angels, etc. (though biblical angels seem to vary in what they represent between supermaterial entities, and literal flesh-and-blood creatures). I suppose the psychic phenomena we experience among other humans could originate from either "direction" - from them either accessing a higher plane of abstraction, where everything that could possibly exist is "manifest" (wrong word, as the aetheric/abstract plane is formless, but it springs to mind), or bypassing the sapient trend to a more material layer of thinking below fallible ego-evaluation. for instance, my "idiot" friends regularly make intuitive leaps, with similar results to "enlightened" thinking. we also notice a clustering of psychic phenomena - clairvoyance, telepathy, previous-life memory - in the most materially "anchored" people, like family members (particularly mother+children and twins) and young children.

it's not clear to me whether there exists a "ground floor" of material reality in the absence of "aether". I guess they're more like inseparable dipoles.

 

[Ross_Я]

Alright. I've got one that is so bonkers I have no idea how my brain came up with it. Here goes.

Beastmen are real and are absolutely the force of something good. That's why they were worshipped by one of the most ancient civilisations in the world - the Ancient Egypt. That's why they were accepted by the romans and that's why St. Christopher has been depicted with a dog's head. Among other things. All the negative stories about them - from the myth about the Maze of the Minotaur down to stories about werewolves - are there to discredit actual beastmen. Illuminati or Majestic-12 or whoever really rules the world were really afraid of that race, and therefore did everything in their power so people would be either afraid of half-animal-folk or outright tried to attack them on sight. Lately the game shifted a bit, since people stopped carrying or even owning swords and guns all the time, therefore came the furry culture. I'm not sure what the endgame here is: perhaps, the beastmen themselves will think twice before making a contact with humans after it all plays out.

I'm not sure about the reasoning behind all this stuff though. The most obvious explanation is that beastmen can offer the humanity some kind of connection to the nature, something that has obviously been diminishing, especially during the last century, but it kind of reeks of Werewolf: The Apocalypse, so I think the reasons are different. Something more... ephemeral, something more divine. They were worshipped as divine beings after all. It might be the battle for the very soul of mankind.

Overall... don't read tons of books about Ancient Egypt in one week, or at least don't mix it with an ocassional Long Island Iced Tea or two.

And yea, actually-factually most AEgyptian Gods are known to have been depicted with a human head on ocassion. Just feel like I should mention it, since it is an interesting fact, and most people think they were strictly animal-headed, while they were not.

 

[alCannium27]

I'm not a spiritual person and I never takes any religious text on face value, but I do also believe the stories are truth -- or at least contains truth bewteen the lines. I guess I'm sympathetic towards the "Ancient Aliens" theorists as I share their desire to make sense these old stories across cultures and somehow combine them into a singular narrative. I don't believe in most of what they promote but I am agreeable to stuffs like ancient civilisations and maybe even advanced aliens influencing our development.

But what I am most conceived is that there were other homonids in the Americas before the Homo Sapiens Sapiens. I know what you are thinking "is this about the Sasquatch?" and maybe it is. But I'm more think of the likes of Lovelock Cave, the Native American legends of "giants", etc.

The logic goes as thus, one of the most long-lived Homo species is the H. Erectus, which came to its own being as late as 1.8 million years ago, and they old vanished from fossil record (that we have found) some 200 thousand years ago i.e. these primitive humans existed as a continous species for 1.6 million years! We, the H. Sapiens, have only been around for around 200 thousand years. So you are telling me these hominids reached as far as the island of Java and perhaps also Flores, but never in their hundreds of thousand years they made to the Americas?

Now, the old story we are told is that the H. Erectus either dwelled in caves or encamped in the open, subsisted by hunting games gathering wild fruits. But, as with all the ancient fossils, we just don't have that many sites to infer from. Just like camp sites, perhaps they create more complex housing with lumber and stone that simply vanished through time and theft (see how the Pyramids used to be white because the marbles that lined their surfaces got stolen by other humans over the years). Older Homos could have built comparatively simple ships like the ancestors of the Polynesians (who sailed to reach many of the islands they reside upon today). We simple do not have any surviving artefacts for them.

The H. Erectus reached Java as late as 200K years ago and perhaps as early as a million years ago. The story of the H. floresiensis shows homonids like H. Erectus or even earlier strains had reach South-East Asian potentialy over 100,000 years ago. Whether by landbridge or seafaring, over that millions of years some Hominids must have stumbed upon the Americas, simply because the Homo genes have that tendency of spreading out of their place of origins. I believe, though with no physical proof, that some earlier homo genus had lived on the Americas before the ancestors of the native Americans. When the H. Sapiens arrived, they soon got into conflict with one another over territories and resources, before the archaic homnid species were driven into extinction. The fact that we don't have any artefacts for them isn't proof ancient hominids never reached these continents, just we haven't found them yet.

We need to be allowed to study native american sites and research on their remains, not the politically correct shit, to find out the real history of humanity.

Military night vision goggles were originally outfitted with a red tint as opposed to green. If you could get ahold of a set of Vietnam War-era NVGs, it'll be red. Apparently, these early goggles used something called "cyanine dye", which has been outlawed and rendered illegal to own for civilian use. American GIs who were equipped with red NVGs with cyanine dye were trained to identify "human auras" because the cyanine dye allowed the user to see colours beyond the usual colour spectrum that we are used to. Over the course of its usage, its users reported to see what they described as "demonic entities".

why yes, I'm spreading misinformation. how can you tell?

Dicyanin dye. It's a weird little footnote in the history of night vision, although I always heard the supposed demon seeing night vision used an apparatus hooked up to a red electron gun.
