Skeptic Project

Technocrat? In the words of AOLers on Usenet "Me too!" Welcome, welcome, welcome!

I'm just wondering, how do you define "technocracy" Cap'n?

And to think, I prided myself on being a skeptic. FAIL

For the sake of forum painting myself,

I'm also an atheist, meaning that I reject the idea of any supernatural force or deity, and I believe the odds for it are abysmally low.

I kind of disagree with the "there is nothing wrong with believers" part. I think that certain believers have something wrong with them. Mainly because their religious lifestyle compels them to self harm and terrible ideas to live by.

If a true Christian "sins", he's conditioned to feel bad about it, which is bad if it's something that comes natural to him/her, which causes stress, and I don't need to verify how stress is bad for the body. My two examples would be masturbation and homosexuality.

Or do I need to verify? I know how sources are important to everyone here. :)

I remember when you when you and Mr. Eccles were preaching to us about the Zeitgeist Movement, and now look how things have changed. What are some of the specific inconsistencies that changed your mind?

The Conspiracy theories. and how abundantly rampant they are on TZM. The totalitarian rule of PJM on TZM is also worth mentioning.
To be fair, I've only lurked here, not TZM's forum.

After looking into CT's in general, I realized how delusional and unproductive they are. So therefore, any organization with the hopes of doing something similar to TZM and TVP's goals is going to be run down.

Good summation, Cap'n (better than mine :P). How would said authority justify it's existence? And when do you think it will happen?

>>Welcome. Your checks from the CIA will begin arriving soon.<<
Good. Now I can spend my big, fat, government money on paying to accompany my girlfriend on her vacations to fancy, shmancy foreign places.

An atheist technocrat with a dislike for CTs and health woowoo, I think I might like you.

hello omni science I remember you from the forums too, a very ardent follower of the movement has come to his senses.

If you want to know why you fell for it. Its easily explained.

You were conned by the oldest trick in the book, show them a pretty a picture, tell them they have problems and that the pretty picture can fix it, then do nothing to make the pretty picture become reality and get everyone else to promote the pretty picture.

Thats all there is to it, and it doesnt make you stupid, because clever people get suckered by this every day in new variations of it.

Its a con job mate you now have first hand experience of it.

About me:
What you know of me is probably the vile spewing of their admin and pro fanatics who utter disdain and claims of irrelevancy of anything i say. What they wont tell you is that I was one of their longest pro members who saw through their bullshit and then decided to do something about it off their forums, because they would not allow it on their own forum. They also wont tell you that I am a reasonable chap who is not stupid, they do right to play me down on their forums because my blog is a threat to them.

1 person could bring down their house of cards with a bit of determination so they need to protect their members from it.

I am a 99% atheist, 1% of me doubts my atheism every now and then [after all I am human too and have weaknesses], I like to have science and facts explained thoroughly and precisely when grand claims are made, and I think CT's are mentally disturbed and comedians at the same time.

Dunning's cool, but he goes on rantgents sometimes.

@everyone who's ever heard the mentioned below.
Alternative health isn't accepted by mainstream health care for good reason.

You know how some people say colon cleansing is good for you, since it supposedly cleans your bowels from the pasted on, putrified feces in your colon (large intestine)?

It was a sound theory back in the 1910's.... until autopsy, biopsy, and surgery reports indicated that no such thing happens in your colon.

In fact, the technique used in colon cleansing is actually *bad* for you, since it washes away essential bacteria and depletes electrolytes. I think I've heard of people dying from complications after the cleansing.

@ Captain Ferseus
>>I bought 5 hour energy, what a bunch of bullshit.<<

This is one of those 'make time for your health' problems.
A good night's rest on a supportive mattress gives you more REM sleep, which leaves one feeling refreshed and restored in the morning.
Eating a good breakfast is *absolutely essential* for your day, since when you wake up, you're depleted of the nutrients and such your body needs.

5 Hour energy gives the 'quick fix' vibe, which almost never works in health.

@anticultist
I'm actually kind of glad that I fell for it at this age. Now I can use the lessons learned to avoid the same thing in the future. :D
