Legend has it this manual was found in 1986 by an employee at Boeing inside an IBM printer being sold for scrap parts. It outlines how the credit system is predicated on population reduction. It has a lot of charts and diagrams that show how consumers are misled by manufactured causes and events. I have no idea if this is made up or not. It could be like the Voynich manuscripts, which have basically been debunked as totally fake. Honestly I think made up documents are cool. It's all just interesting to me.
Today a friend showed me this sick website that has long but informative documentaries that basically confirms most of my conspiracy theories about the u****d s****s.
they had an interest in this and now its online for everyone via their reading room. the ultimate expression of not answering any questions or offering any explanations.
I love living in Texas. I get that maybe it doesn’t have the best reputation as a place for “creatives”, but I think the distance can be very beneficial. I like the open sky, lakes, bbq, and the people I’ve met here. What's that Leonardo DaVinci quote “ Once you have tasted the taste of sky, you will forever look up”. I grew up near the pacific ocean and always disliked the beach. It always felt sad to me for some reason. A lot of people here who just kind of do their own thing. The pressure from places that demand explanations, discourse, “a reason for why you do things”, I think leaving that mostly behind has helped a lot personally.
I got this book at the Museum of Jurassic Technology when I was 19. It was written by a homeless MIT grad who would staple pamphlets of prose philosophy around UCLA in the 90’s. It’s kind of a precursor to a lot of what you see on twitter these days, schizoposting, etc. I’ve always been inspired by guys like this, another interesting guy was Shea Zellweger. If you’re like me you sometimes get an impulse to exclude yourself from group activities, alienate yourself, etc. I like how committed he was to writing and posting this stuff.
This has helped me a lot. Data (thoughts, emotions, sensations) can be very overwhelming. Practicing/reading this has helped me not get too invested in the sensations, which is kinda like stroking a snake, the head and the tail both lead to being bitten.
