  • My field of study is “the experience of a conscious entity that is set to understand the context and nature of perceived reality”

    Yeh….

    My most advanced ideas would fall under psychology. Lately i have been sinking time in underlying patterns within molecules, so chemistry. I have done amateur geology and astronomy, while purposely avoiding known materials about those subjects. I very frequently find myself thinking about physics and philosophy.

    I have started to work on a scifi novel because i got frustrated with to much technobabel and employing fictional alien design philosophy aids in overcoming some of my own human cultural scientific biases. It also forces me to come up with multiple perspectives for the same Phenomena, for different species.

    I think that will be the best medium because it wal also not appear like i am blatantly overriding scientific consensus. I am not a science denier, i just like to understand things for myself (school was unsatisfactory, they gave me passing marks but i often felt like what they explained made not enough sense)


  • Me, an autistic “independent scientist”: Literally making names up as a need for terminology emerges.

    My interest and research philosophy is often so specific and build from physical own observations that i frequently cant find the standardized interpretations in known science even though i know they must exist.

    Before anyone fights me over it (some have) I am doing this for my own growth and understanding. I don’t require it to be compatible with standardized knowledge and i have no specific goal other then growing my perspective and therefor general wisdom.


  • My source is actually slightly complex and non English but the actual source my source has it from is the actually diary.

    The full extract can be found here:

    https://alphahistory.com/holocaust/anne-frank-diary-1942-44/

    October 9th 1942: “Today I have nothing but dismal and depressing news to report. Our many Jewish friends and acquaintances are being taken away in droves. The Gestapo is treating them very roughly and transporting them in cattle cars to Westerbork, the big camp in Drenthe to which they’re sending all the Jews. Miep told us about someone who’d managed to escape from there. It must be terrible in Westerbork. The people get almost nothing to eat, much less to drink, as water is available only one hour a day, and there’s only one toilet and sink for several thousand people. Men and women sleep in the same room, and women and children often have their heads shaved. Escape is almost impossible; many people look Jewish, and they’re branded by their shorn heads. If it’s that bad in Holland, what must it be like in those faraway and uncivilised places where the Germans are sending them? We assume that most of them are being murdered. The English radio says they’re being gassed. Perhaps that’s the quickest way to die. I feel terrible. Miep’s accounts of these horrors are so heartrending… Fine specimens of humanity, those Germans, and to think I’m actually one of them! No, that’s not true, Hitler took away our nationality long ago. And besides, there are no greater enemies on earth than the Germans and Jews.”


  • Thats an exaggeration of what i said but i guess in context of historical denialism it is a fair nuance to also mention. In a way your own versions of events denies the gradual escalation of evil. They did not Start with gas chambers.

    This is my point more nuanced.

    The Anne Frank family had lived to trough systemic suppression.

    They witnessed and experienced the racism and hatred.

    Deportations happend out in the open

    But that is pretty close to where we are today!

    Jews did not hide out of fear of gas chambers but out of fear of deportation or arrest. Just like today.

    Overtime it became an open secret that deportation was very likely death. But you are still surrounded by propaganda. The exact details and extend of the real cruelty where hidden.

    Looking it up: the Frank family went into hiding in July 1942. In Oktober that year Anne describes in her diary a rumor on the radio about jews being gassed. They did not wait for that escalation to hide, they started before.







  • Lol, This implies that Chinese citizens somehow have a say in what their government elite desires. I don’t think they are much different then anyone else.

    If it makes you feel better the US puts just as much energy into manipulating other countries as other countries do into them. And may i remind you of the chat control Europe routinely tries to sneak in a ban encryption for all its citizens without them noticing. my original comment addressed “global adversaries”, i only mentioned china replying to a comment specify about china. So not racist, I am anti any centralized power structure because power always corrupts.

    The fact is that governments have always (amongst other things) been rooted in a centralized resource and population control. The big problem as i would call it is that the emergent complexity of global politics makes the dynamics so complex not a single person, not even a president is capable of knowing more then the micro-environment they exist within. This is precisely why states feel a need to create extensive bureaucracies and specialized agencies which historically have a tendency to evolve into centralized powered structures themselves and power always corrupts.

    No nations, No borders, No gods, No masters




  • Use it to do further research into how our always fleeting state of mind influences or preferences?

    I sometimes see people treat preferences like they are a static part of a personality. This has never been my experience. There are clear environmental features that influence my desires in real time. I am pretty sure advertising companies have been aware of this for a while also.


  • Whu, are you really criticizing op for spending time to make content???

    Cirklejerking is nothing new. Dissing on the big heavily moderated instances is just a part of lemmy culture as I understand it. And its not like people on those big instances arent cirkejerking against the haters also.

    Here is a mirror. Why are you making a fuss about it? You yourself are free to block any of us if that is your preferred solution.

    I am not gonna block them, I am even subscribed to some spaces on .ml .Majority of the users are no different then elsewhere. But i do take the underlying warning seriously and try to pay extra attention to subtle propaganda (which exists on every instance). Encourage people to sign up to smaller less restrictive instances.

    I have read your explanation comment btw, and i am gonna be honest it makes no sense in the context of myself. The reason I personally cant relate with tankies is not because they are too left for my comfort but the exact opposite. Compared to my own anarchist ideals tankies lack qualities i deem important and exhibit propertied i recognize as fascist in nature.

    If you are now thinking my opinion on what counts as fascist isnt worth any salt to you then you are close to understanding my point. We are still both a part of this community regardless of both our valuable opinions and while yours frustrates me a bit, i hold no ill will against you.
