Rufus Du Sol You might know this one - but it's one of my favourites: https://youtu.be/Tx9zMFodNtA?si=6HxlnW6ctWPBjc-W They were great live

@LoneWonderer Not limited to just the UFO/Alien phenomena? Paranormal etc. These are some of my favourites, but there are more: The Area 51 Caller (famous terrified caller frantic before the feed was cut) Mel's Hole (bottomless pit the government was after) The Father Malachi Martin interviews (fucked up Vatican stories - frightening secrets) Ghost to ghost AM (annual paranormal stories) Mad Man Marcum / Time machine man (guy with insane time machine he claimed to have built) Officer X interview (nuclear sub officer) Pamela Stonebrooke (reptilian encounters) The Mercenary Gabriel (jailbreaker) Major Ed Dames (remote viewing) John Lear (Area 51 & UFOs) Mind you - the above are a huge mixed bag. Paranormal, non-local awareness, ghosts, UFOs, aliens etc. Many are thought to be urban legends, but Art Bell has a great narrative voice and some stories are enthralling. Good rainy day listening

@LoneWonderer I am really in alignment with your assessments - ha! The ones I am super sketch about art Luis Elizondo, NASA & Jesse Michels. Jesse Michels I used to enjoy, but after digging a bit and hearing his more recent shit he was backed by Peter Thiel from the start. If you look at the history of his channel the explosive growth doesn't make sense without outside assistance. Luis is a disinformation agent. NASA is a government agency. Don't forget it. They fucken know what's up. Dr Steven Greer - this one gets me. He is so confident and articulate. My warning bells go off I could be fooled. But then he has said somethings that.... Align with my personal experiences of contact. I don't know. As a total aside - does anyone fuck with the old Art Bell Coast to Coast AM? I love that shit. This whole topic is full of insanity, I sorta can't help but love it!! 👾👾👾

It fits and gives gravity to the problem some people have. It's way above compulsion in terms of how bad the issue can inhibit the individual. Anyway, you are simply trying to argue some side semantics I am just not gonna agree with.

If it impedes functioning any of the above can be a problem and can verge on qualifying for an addiction. If you have issue resisting the compulsion and it impedes your ability to function in day to day life, for me, it doesn't matter if it is clinical or not. It follows the patterns of an addiction and could very easily be termed as such. I am not singing out porn consumption here. If you want to narrowly define an addiction that is fine. But porn consumption CAN be a problem.

@bazera I agree - and no judgement from me either. Some people may be able to consume porn with very little consequences. Others, not so much. I do think we have to question its effects, what sort of ideas it is programming into us - and as you touched on - the 'more' nature of the dopaminergic response humans have toward sex and orgasm.

An addiction is typically outlined when a compulsive habit begins to interfere with the person's ability to function and perform in life. This is when it crosses over into a pathology clinically. I'd say porn addiction can do that. Gooners are a good example. I've seen a legit goon cave... MY GOD is I will say. Being a NEET and spending 7-8hrs a day edging to porn really isn't functional.

Do you feel you have a solid understanding of the ideas you are looking to present? Like, know them totally in-and-out?

I used to manage a print centre 15 years ago. We printed photos from memory cards, USB and CD. A lot of shit was handed to the po-po. I have seen some evil.

What the fuck is memory anyway - it's literally the small 'self' 💀

This overlaps with neuro linguistic programming.

ROFL that board is giga-chad levels elitism. You don't even need to complete a sentence to get shit on with immediate and surgical precision 🤣 Same with /fa/

I think it isn't as extreme as saying the brain totally changes shit when we recall memories, but they gradually shift and change with each recall. I think it is a very slow process. There are actually shitloads of studies and well established findings around memory being a reconstruction that shifts over time. Frederic Bartlett, Elizabeth Loftus did work on how we actively fill gaps with what makes sense, change details to match beliefs, simplify shit and how we can genuinely be convinced of shit that never happened. Satanic Panic stuff. Hermann Ebbinghaus did work on how time degrades accuracy of memory. We can skew the original sensory imprint we have due to internal biases within us. As soon as you alter the language we use around a memory ie smashed vs hit this can change a lot. It is some of the basis around neuro linguistic programming. It is actually a huge foundational point to reaffirm your case that bias is just THAT big in humans. Not arguing against your good memory, more that I have seen the sort of stupid shit people pull with recall. Brainwashing themselves.

Accepted - and apologies if my questions were implying that as well. I am really blunt over text. And direct. So my tone gets lost in dialogue on the forum. It is probably also my work in construction - I am used to writing in a really clear way and pressing for direct statements. I never really use capitulating language in text - but I do in verbal dialogue. I recognise this can also come across harsher from a woman because women are expected to be softer.

Just a lot of confidence then
