The one and only real god, who everyone worships daily and has mountainous infrastructure and ritual devoted to it, is number.

that new uapmax larp said that the idf employing a new laser system stirred up the birds now this gets revealed  https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/tech...c086a1184&ei=10while it's not the same, powerful enough to draw particles about the vacuum also reminds me of the other larp about reverse engineered chinese mining lasers that can extract desired materials from rocks without breaking them up

they're churches. we can literally use the structure of the vatican/catholic church to model this Popes come and go, but the holy see is an actual corporate entity and is eternal. Popes function as the See but are not the See. CEOs are akin to popes, whereas the powers bestowed to the job CEO are eternal, they are transient. Sainthood is bestowed popularly in a sense, the ones whose stank persists past their death. Saint Morgan, Saint Vanderbilt, more recently, Saint Jobs, etc for corporate stuff, founding fathers for civic stuff. So the corporate entity itself functions as a church. martyrs are made from the troops who die to uphold empire, or people whose actions were sacrificial but served to uphold the system, i.e. nixon, all the nameless agents honored anonymously by the security state, etc. and yeah, it all feeds an egregore, that likely circulates wherever monetary transactions are made. There are even probably types of transaction that are more meaningful to these entities, like complex financial products that have like, genocide, mass slaughter, and like, teacher retirement funds all wrapped up together, are better at propagating its influence, so more desired. lol

anyway in re mcdonalds some sociologists use them as a catch-all for how we've moved forward as a hyper rationalist capitalist society bent on constantly improving the "efficiency" of things one dude even wrote a book about it called the mcdonaldization of society  quote:However, there are also critics of the concept. Aaron Ahuvia and Elif Izberk-Bilgin argue that while McDonaldization represents a particular collection of forces, there is a countertrend in post-industrial societies they call eBayization. Whereas McDonaldization produces homogeneity and predictability, eBayization provides variety, adventure, and surprise. Tony Blackshaw presents IKEAization as another countertrend, distinguished by seven dimensions •Home (another word for Community) •Democracy •Incalculability and Unpredictability •Provincialism •Protestant Work Ethic •Cool •Freedom. though big lol at trying to use ikea as being different from mcdonalds

Tekne posted:that new uapmax larp said that the idf employing a new laser system stirred up the birds sometimes I wonder if it would be possible to use powerful lasers like this that spontaneously create such high energy densities that particles form out of thin air in the presence of a strong electric/magnetic field as a form of "electric" propulsion that uses no stored propellant I imagine the amount of particles generated per laser pulse are so minuscule that it's not feasible though, like you'd generate more thrust via the photons emitted by the laser than the particles you chuck away.

I have been intentionally accelerating open contact after deciding that 2027 is just too far for me. Hopefully it's working. I will continue to do my part. The article says maybe even late this month, so I'll make a good push these upcoming weeks.

brands are just fuckin: brands. do not look at antiquity, or god fuckin forbid earlier periods, and say “ah yes we have this today and call it—” about cultural institutions, activities, or contexts.1 post-industrial late-capitalist 8-billion-humans microplastics internet moon landing earth will not, cannot map culture that closely to the contexts of societiues from like 500ya, let alone millennia and continents of separation. jiminy fuckin willickers, its fraught enough to make 1:1 our version/their version similitudes about other contemporary cultures but people still pull this just-so poo poo about a world in which an extremely large wall around several buildings was an impressive achievement2 people living in a world where it seemed reasonable that if you went to exotic lands like, a-longish-walk-away-ville you might there meet dwarves w the heads of bees, people who lived when it was possible to be comprehensively read3—mfers arent going to compare culturally to a world whre you can read literally any modern txt and much personal journaling from anywhere culture-streams are wonderful. human universals/overwhelming-near-universals are real and strong. but the talking insurance lizard is not partaking of some profound essential aspect of human culture, endlessly reärticulated from the first settled peoples thru to the end of anthropic ages. holding the now and the then together and seeing what the juxtaposition elicits??? great, do it. playing the memory game where you get to clap when you know where to flip over the matching card??? i mean you can do it but you are wrong and intellectually shameful when you do. outside of the actual memory game, which is great, do it brands are not any specific other thing. that is one of the big reasons they get their own term, instead of being called by one of the myriad other terms for poo poo we have had since pre-antiquity. ffs im begging people to stop playing the Here is another word!! matching game like it generated any useful relevant or interesting word happenings,or brain happenings 1 if one more person says w/in my earshot that quote superheroes are modern mythology close quote my floating ribs will sincerely actually truly erupt from my sides as too many arachnoid limbs and, w a sound eyewitnesses will later describe as “like broken glass applauding”, grapple the afore-referenced speaker and drag them toward my torso, flung backward in the clack-skitter eruption, ribcage holding the chest open, a devouring maw in whicg my heart will itself digest them 2 which tbf it only comparatively recently stopped being 3 i.e. to have read every significant txt known to yr society

 We are not fundamentally different than our ancestors. The things that drive us are the same, and what we create in response is the same. Of course you can map and draw progression from the touchstones of past ages to what we have today.

What squizzle is saying makes a lot of sense to me. Even in modern times, it's sometimes impossible to directly translate concepts between two different languages. So much interpretation has to be done to massage words by saying it's "like x" or "similar to y", and by then you've transmuted into something understandable but not one to one with the original meaning. It reminds me of that book "why fish don't exist". We can all understand what a fish is, but that's just a broad signifier for a type of body plan meant for the water. Fish all have many similarities but they aren't all the same thing, convergence and all that jazz. By only trying to analyze them by what makes them all similar we lose the essence of what they truly are individually. So yeah, I would agree that anything intentionally formulated in the era of mass communication is wildly different from mythologies born out of oral traditions. Brands, advertising, and our understanding of how the economy works under capitalism are trickle down style information, created at the top to be disseminated down to the bottom, to eliminate class consciousness and create insecurities within us to be sated by consumerism. That isn't to say that past societies didn't use mythology for state power, but they are definitely much different in the respect that these stories and beliefs were disseminated person to person through folklore- horizontally rather than vertically.
