I am assuming the reader has experienced these terms before

>niggers, kikes, spics, poo in loo

Humor in these terms aside, I feel that these terms are all representative of fallacious strawmen, scapegoats, and crux derailments.There is no purpose besides difference, an instilled

My proposal to you is that the issue with domestic conflict is one of culture, and not race.

To illustrate this concept, I feel that it is necessary to begin with a viable example that I see quite frequently.

>the white black guy

>redpilled jew

>woman who has her head on straight

>Americanized muslim

The pretexting phrase (redpilled etc.) indicates that these hypothetical cultural minorities see the world through a lens which is similar to that of oneself and others who they believe to be competent politically, socially, and morally. This further indicates that they prescribe to a perceived notion of reality based on empirical evidence and conglomerate experience. I don't feel that it is inherently wrong to use these labels, however, I believe that these labels are used because the individual using them is unaware of what I believe to be a mass logic slip in modern narrative. IE: what I am proposing, that domestic conflict is one of culture and not race.

Further, I propose that government, religion, and propaganda repetitiously prescribe a reality which promotes acceptable social, moral, and economic boundaries to be followed so that the masses are able to interact amicably. This mechanism is also sympathetic, and at necessary times, advantageous to those in power who wish to remain in power. This should come as no secret to those who are actively perusing the truth of power, however, I felt it important to mention because it is an associated facet of the aforementioned.

>I made sure to address the fact that different races harbor physiological (cognitive, physical) differences, however, we are all able to prescribe to any culture. I think you're a troll.

Jesus christ you are a retarded double thinker.

You admit that cognitive differences exist in all races, yet you go on to claim they can all exist in any culture. This is contradictory because different cultures require different levels of mental capacity.

For example, blacks are not capable of living efficiently in white or asian cultures, due to their low impulse control, aggression and mental limitations.

I largely agree with what you have to say, but you don't spare verbosity. I am always for a heightening of the dialogue; how something's said is often almost as important as what is said. Having said that I admit I am a gut-instinct, intuitive person without mucy capacity for debate. I am individualistic and believe myself to be influenced by Anglo-Saxon self-interested individualism as part of the American experience. I am also nonwhite and so would be an easy target to crucify were this is not an anonymous discussion. Some may paint me as self-hating, but I merely see the sad reality of life. Few ethnics are redpilled. I believe you to be one of compassionate character and applaud your humanity. If had the media blitz perk, I would see to educate with stern, rational sincerity especially not based on hate. Seeing as how all of us should understand human culture and internet memes in particular, it should be harder to hate people considering they (and us) have been misled since day one. If the day of the rope comes, I still do not expect to be spared.

Are you saying you are a stormfag who fears getting stormed by other stormfags when they finally take power because you are not h'white? So much for the individualistic Anglo-Saxon experience, the collectivist East-Asian experience is where it's really at bruh.

I'm not a stormfag, but it's not that hard to get caught in the crossfire if there happens to be racial unrest. So it would seem with the so-called Asian aka Chinese century, but we are a product of our time and it may well be that I will become the reactionary as individualism fades away.

I believe you are reading a bit too much into this quote.

I believe the one-eyed man in the quote is just a man with only one eye. He sees less than those with two eyes, but when he is among the blind he sees more than them.

A teacher is an excellent example of this. No matter how good or bad the teacher is, the students will learn what he has to teach. Because he knows more than they do.

This saying is relevant across all fields and you will find it true whether you look at religions/cults(new members being led by those being initiated(who know more)) or you look in a corporation/business environment where someone comes and tries to sell you something you know very little about(he starts throwing around all these fancy terms which you cannot understand and you feel that the man in front of you actually knows what he is talking about, that he is, in fact, an expert and you should listen to him because he clearly understands more than you).

The gist of it all is that you should not become complacent in regards to your level of knowledge. Don't think you are better than everyone else because you see more of the picture than they do, because you yourself might not see it all and in so doing be subjected to those who do.

In turn, always be aware that this is also the case when you find someone who sees more of the picture than you.

It means that when most people are very ignorant, they will see a slightly less ignorant person as wise. That's really it.

It's a terrible metaphor though, because in real life somebody who could see in a land of blind people would be burned as a witch because the people in power would correctly recognize them as a threat to that power.

I think the Whorf hypothesis is mostly bullshit, and testing it is one of lojban's purposes. Still, I think it's cool how lojban is unlike any natural language.

Natural languages change, but they don't get more complex (supposedly). So the language that hunter gatherers in Africa spoke 30,000 years ago would have been just as complex and hard to learn as modern English. Natural languages don't progress or get better. But constructed logical languages like math (and maybe lojban) do...obviously math nowadays is more complex. That's why I think the distant future of language will be constructed languages like lojban.

We have likely all arrived at similar conclusions in regards to how the world works. So I want to pose two questions:

1.Is there any hope of changing things for the better?

2.If there is, how do we do it?

Personally, I have a very hard time believing that we can prevent the gradual loss of our liberties and regain even a little bit of power over our own lives. We aren't fighting to prevent the New World Order (or whatever you want to call it), we are fighting to change it back. It is very hard not to give into despair and choose a hedonistic life of servitude when looking at the big picture. In fact, this song seems to me like the perfect soundtrack for the 21st Century.

Regarding the method of resistance, there are many differing opinions on this. The Fringe Wizards believe in using magik to fight the Demiurge and liberate themselves as individuals, both the /pol/acks and the /lefty/s believe in revolution and the creation of a new government, while the libertarians like the idea that the free market will fix it. As for me, I can't really think of an effective way we can try to overcome our enslavement as a society. We can only resist as individuals, and in our resistance set the example for others, while fighting the inevitable marginalization of our opinions. I wouldn't be surprised if the people on top were aware of the existence of places online like this, and found it amusing.

Ignorance is not bliss. You are ignoring vital information willfully (in an age where information is available at our fingertips), thus choosing to remain a stupid coward in the face of brutal realities. Suffering is constant, you can not avoid suffering, as long as you are alive you are suffering to a degree. Was it not Buddha who said that suffering is our purity, or something similar to that? Reality is NOT an illusion, especially when you experience pain, you perceive pain as real. So if pain is real, why not happiness? You cannot remove suffering without removing your own life. Empathy, compassion, love, liberty.. these are all things human beings collectively cherish and hold sacred. They are things we wish everyone could have. Your mission is to align your perception with truth, to live in harmony and adapt to what really is, not embracing deception. There is a difference between nescience and ignorance. Also, Brave New World was written by Aldous Huxley who was involved in MK-ULTRA LSD experimentation. You are a brainwashed clown if you think being a brain-dead zombie has any goodness to it.

I agree with you, infographics are the way to do that, although so many are disinformation and countering them requires a dedicated effort. I don't know if the NEETs (who else has time for this type of thing) have the morale to do it.

Also to me the alternative news is part of the mainstream news, it's just a different thought loop it puts people on. 8ch and 4chan are owned by "them" too, though have been a benefit.

>No one wants to be a slave. They do want convenience and comfort though. So perhaps you incentivize people to opt out as well..

Seems at the end of the day people have to choose convenience and comfort or adopt the rigour for self-improvement and then risk possible incarceration, humiliation or death trying to break the system. Comfort is a hard habit to break out of.

I wholly agree, but don't give up just yet. Consider, if you will, that things will only get worse, and it takes constant vigilance to spot and resist these issues. Being able to think well in a world of mindless slaves, we're among the few with reason, and so we take up a larger burden individually, but loosen up for too long and the world kills you. Man's curse may force us to have to work hard to live, and it restricts the span of a life, but what did it primarily do? Grant man the ability to think for himself, to philosophize, and reason. Most importantly, to know good from evil, however vaguely at times, and then be able to CHOOSE whatever action one wishes.

So keep yourself sharp and prepared, a new attack, however fake, does mean that more is planned for now. And however hopeless or tiring it may seem, a life spent thinking and acting freely is infinitely more well-spent than servitude.

The moment you stop fighting, you start dying, and if information continues to grow to be controlled, we may be among the last to naturally gain knowledge of the world.

Memetics is a field that was initially attempted to be research on at least one 8chan board, namely /BMW/.

The results never were collected because at every turn discussion of memetics as a potential vector for disseminating information pertinent to halting the current social decline was derailed by at best genuine occultist believers and at worst malicious subversives.

To begin memes are potentially a groundbreaking way to communicate many messages in a concise, compact and most importantly of all, humourous way. indeed the same meme may contain numerous messages, for example the (by anon standards) ancient Pedobear meme, this conveys a huge number of meanings, depending on minor changes and additions to the meme itself, so when depicted with a person with normal expression this clearly indicates of course that the pictured is a pedophile, when alone or in an approval seal it is simultaneously a warning to anons to not go into the thread, and a call to the mods for removal of the thread.

The chans actually hold a major advantage in this medium of information dissemination as old media or even new media who are late gen X or early millenials for some reason do not quite have the required ability to read the subtle nuances of a meme, perhaps it's a matter of age, perhaps a matter of left-leaning offence and elitism, some combination of the two or neither. however it does stand as a significant advantage to the various chan boards most notably /pol/ in getting information out to people beyond normal social media and bloggers etc's speed of adaptation, a fantastic example of this being the meme and slur "dindu" or "dindu nuffin" which evaded media call outs for the hilariously racially charged epithet it truly is for more than a year and indeed most people until the /k/-baltimore altercation would not have known what you meant had you said it but those who looked it up or who paid attention to context.

as such memes have two particularly beautiful applications, one of which being pseudo-cryptography, in which multiple layered meanings on a meme allow it to be used in different settings via posters or some such to communicate something about a place or group frequenting it, or as this piece seePost too long.

It is fundamentally important for any sort of discussion on memetics that a proper definition of a meme be known. Dawkins defines a meme as “a unit of cultural inheritance, hypothesized as analogous to the particulate gene, and as naturally selected in virtue of its phenotypic consequences on its own survival and replication in the cultural environment”. As with genes, the constituents of success will be long life, fecundity and accuracy of replication; for individual copies, fecundity is the most important factor. The element of competition necessary for any selection to take place is introduced by the brain’s limited attention: in order to dominate, a meme must distract the brain’s attention from other memes. Selection will favor those memes capable of exploiting the current cultural environment, which obviously includes other memes also trying to be selected. A meme will, like a gene, be successful “by proxy”: via its phenotypic effects. Like genes, memes have two types of effects. The first is the use of their possessors’ communication and imitation skills in order to replicate. The second, as for genes, consists in the effects they have on the world, which influence their survival chances. The success of this second type of effect will (for both kinds of replicator) depend on the current environment, a crucial part of which will be the existing pool of replicators.

Memes are not just amusing pictures or phrases, they are any sort of idea of belief that can be transmitted, multiplied and has an effect on those who hold it and the world. The patriarchy is a meme. Racism is a meme. Racial purity is a meme. Nationalism is a meme. To say that a certain group does no use memes is simply wrong: every society (collection of individuals who interact) has a culture or sub-culture, and those are always made up of memes. The main reason why /bmw/ has produced no worthwhile results is that it failed to grasp this, holding on the the definition of "meme" popularized by 9gag and facebook.

Now, when we talk about humorous internet memes (let us refer to them from now on as "humor templates", as that is a much more apt term) I will concede that some groups tend to have a much better grasp on the topic than others. This is partially because the individuals who make up those groups spend more time online andPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I do agree with you in the latter points of your post. First, the possibilities for the use of humor templates. They can serve as a means of transmitting a message in a sub-level not known to those familiar with it, just like the recognitions signs of certain secret societies, like the Freemasons. The masons use phrases and gestures that, to the uninitiated, seem like regular actions but to the initiated indicate their membership within a group. The Bane quotes are an example of how humor templates can be used as a means of recognition. The second point you made is the importance of letting go of the mystical aspect of memetics and embrace the empirically valid methods of analysis of communication and thinking. In order to successfully create a meme, that is, to popularize an idea, belief or humor template one must seek to understand its effects on the individuals and on the environment. Rhetoric and philosophy have worked on matters relating to how knowledge is acquired, how beliefs are shaped and held and how people can be convinced for thousands of years; and now the younger fields of publicity and public relations are specializing in this from a more practical standpoint. Christian missionaries and Muslim imams are not successful in converting people and keeping their faith because of divine intervention, but because of their use of arguments, communication tactics and social engineering in order to achieve those goals. Aleister Crowley's popularity in his day didn't come from his ability to perform actual magic feats, but because he knew how to work the people to his advantage. When these aspiring "meme crafters" understand both this and the actual nature of memes they will be able to actually achieve something of value. Until then, they will just be people online thinking that posting pepes will increase the frog population or other such nonsense.

What you neglect to consider is that chans operate in a continuum of seriousness and humor.

I'd think most people talking about meme magic don't actually believe in it, but just rp for fun.

This is absolutely true; Memes are how the Islamic State has so many high-energy, high-moral troops, even though they are nothing more than Israeli– & Saudi–funded mercenaries.

I have taken it upon myself (with great risk) to make an attempt at the fusion of the following:

>The Alt-Right

>#BlackLivesMatter

>Nation of Islam

>The Islamic State (IS)

>Players of a Video Game called Ingress

>Players of the Adventure MMO Myst Online: Uru Live Again

>>>/christian

>>>/fringe/

>>>/asatru/

>>>/intl/

>>>/bmw/

>>>/pol/

>>>/32/

>>>/x/

>>>/b/

…turning the "Alt-Right" into a gigantic mess that I refer to as the Alt-Graph (meaning, imagine that the Political Compass was in three dimensions, with Conservative, Centrist & Progressive added on as points on the Z-Axis; the Alt-Graph is the so-called "Progressive" compass)

So I've been hearing about the development of video games for the purpose of recreating the nature of the world to the next generation of students.

(specifically, from this blog http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/reimaging-the-nature-of-the-world-in-the-minds-of-students-alters-future-behavior-and-social-events/)

The term "gamification" has been gaining a lot of popularity in the last few years and I predict that there will most likely be a public debate on the inclusion of video games in schools soon. Electronic gadgets such as laptops and tablets are quickly making their way into our schools. As a matter of fact, many schools have already included tablets in their list of school supplies. But this is besides the point; we are going to see a change in the way we teach our children rather than just the addition of an electronic gadget. Among one of these games is the game Quandary. What I'll be doing in this thread is a play-through of this game.

It's available online for free at http://quandarygame. org/

There are 3 chapters and I'll be playing through the first one to see what the fuss is all about. I won't be making any reflections on this. Hope you enjoy it or find something of interest.

Summary of the game pulled from the website itself:

Players aged 8 and up shape the future of a new society while learning how to recognize ethical issues and deal with challenging situations in their own lives.

Players lead a new human colony on a distant planet. They must make difficult decisions in which there are no clear right or wrong answers but important consequences – to themselves, to others in the colony and to the planet Braxos. Players develop skills such as critical thinking, perspective-taking and decision-making. Quandary provides a framework Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

The 1950s music fits the overall setting of a world in which the Cold War didn't end, and then ultimately got hot. My roommate describes it like the Jetsons, it's the future that would have been if they kept doing what they did in the 1950s. As technology progresses, nuclear power replaces most other sources. Eventually a nuclear war occurs (I'm not sure what causes it in the game) and so the infrastructure production of new things is destroyed and the majority of technology thereafter is based around scavenging. Music is also found this way, and the harsh world prevents new recordings, the player to assume.

The lyrics are not actually new either, Sixty Minute Man is a real song (not sure the actual recording date) and other songs featured are just as sexual. There are apparently two new recordings that fit the same genre and sexual/nuclear themes.

The violence and sex are "complemented" with lightheartedness and endearing characters, even while my roommate comments that most "mobs" in the game have no value and he remarked that it was as if they were there just to be killed and to take their post-war currency (bottle caps).

Fallout is just one of the many games and television shows and movies featuring the "post-Apocalypse." If one subscribed to a NWO conspiracy, he might classify these themes of media as apocalypse pre-programming or something like that.

This is most likely the answer.

Gamification seems more like a scam from people who don't know shit about games or education, trying to get funding from the government.

Shit, a couple of feminist hacks can come up with a catchy name and brand themselves as a "non profit organization for equality and education using technology".

Probably, the ultimate goal for scammers like Feminist Frequency is to get to the next level beyond scamming individuals, and grab the tit of the State.

Its funny how every time we start conflating SJWs with money and scams some fucker out of nowhere has to come and derail the thread with mind-control conspiracies

The reality is that before femfreq anita was:

>a scam self-help seminar promoter

>a saleswoman for a bullshit cruise company

>a hand-reader

>a PUA

She was basically into every single fucking scam out there since the early 2000s until 2012 when she hit the motherload with SJWs bankrolling her shitty videos which she didn't deliver, and that was just the tip of the iceberg

Think about it: she's just another useless cunt with a coms degree but instead of flipping burgers for minimum wage she is making at least half-a-million a year by doing nearly NOTHING at all

On top of that she when from shady scammer to being a well-respect media personality that charges over $50,000 to talk at events

People who refuse the money angle are either dumb kids or shills, anita is going more money with this shit than most people will make in their entire lives

>Gamification seems more like a scam from people who don't know shit about games

Of course it isI'm that anon you quoted btwI work in web design and only a couple years ago gamification was the shit in my industry, every single dipshit CEO kid building a startup with daddy's money wanted me to implement some "gamification" into their sites, and of course they had no fucking idea what it was beyond stupid internet points. And of course it didn't work for shit and pretty much every startup that made gamification a key component of their apps crashed and disappeared

"Santa Claus is Coming to Town" is a Christ mass song written in America in 1934. It has become one of the biggest sellers in American history.

I just want to note that it is funny how much of culture and traditions that are nowadays owned by corporations but that will not be the main focus of the thread.

I want to us to discuss the song itself. It has an upbeat melody, yet the lyrics are scary. We are told to watch out, because there is an all seeing, all knowing character coming, and we WILL be judged.

We are told not to cry, nor to pout. This stands in stark contrast to the modern viewpoint that one should console crying children, rather than tell them to shut up.

So far I've gone over the superficial properties of the song. Please help me drill deeper into this

Christmas characters have always been an extension of parental (and sometimes church) authority, meting out punishment or reward according to the child's behavior and the concepts of "naughty" and "nice" transmitted to them by their parents:

I found no evidence that this song is owned by a corporation, but the following passage of the book "Stories Behind the Greatest hits of Christmas" highlights a meaning that should have crossed the minds of everyone on this board, the constant surveillance that Santa Claus Performs over every child in the world at all times:

It is nice to be judged when you have a good chance of passing, and when the reward is nice, and the punishment is not that bad.

Being judged by this Santa guy is thus a good deal hence we are happy he is coming.
