I've been seeing GATE talk for 10+ years all saying the same poo poo. Here's what I don't see people talking about :
- Where did this list of traits come from?
- Were these people looking for a group or an individual?
- Are they still looking? From my perspective the current GATE program doesn't match what has been described in the past.

Not to mention there were reports of loving aliens at schools during the 80/90's lmao I wish GATE kids would stop mentally masturbating over how special they are and sit down and figure this poo poo out; they were supposed to be smart!

pretty sure it's just "indigo child" horseshit for narcissistic navel gazing.
hell, one of the criteria is blue eyes. not too hard to see it's the same latent/blatant white supremacist trash as a lot of white people hippy poo poo

No one in this thread has claimed any sort of superiority at all or that we're uniquely special in any way. People shouldn't misconstrue older coterminous indigo children lore/ bullshit for people here stating their own contemporary experiences.

Plus this thread has actively talked about the white supremacist bullshit attached to the UFO community, and specifically called out the fake rear end Nordic alien concept for the supremacist trash it is as well.

Marzzle posted:

the secret of GATE programs is that school districts don't have enough money to give everyone a decent education so they pick the cream of the crop for extra funding and more capable teachers because you don't want to squander your middle class geniuses who can't afford private schooling. the conspiracy is that quality public education in america is rationed because doing any better would involve paying teachers enough money to attract and retain capable people rather than tailoring the field to the dregs of society with no other options

Yup, like most things it boils down to capitalists being cheap assholes.

quote:

In the moments after Patient One was taken off oxygen, there was a surge of activity in her dying brain. Areas that had been nearly silent while she was on life support suddenly thrummed with high-frequency electrical signals called gamma waves. In particular, the parts of the brain that scientists consider a “hot zone” for consciousness became dramatically alive. In one section, the signals remained detectable for more than six minutes. In another, they were 11 to 12 times higher than they had been before Patient One’s ventilator was removed.

“As she died, Patient One’s brain was functioning in a kind of hyperdrive,” Borjigin told me. For about two minutes after her oxygen was cut off, there was an intense synchronisation of her brain waves, a state associated with many cognitive functions, including heightened attention and memory. The synchronisation dampened for about 18 seconds, then intensified again for more than four minutes. It faded for a minute, then came back for a third time.

In those same periods of dying, different parts of Patient One’s brain were suddenly in close communication with each other. The most intense connections started immediately after her oxygen stopped, and lasted for nearly four minutes. There was another burst of connectivity more than five minutes and 20 seconds after she was taken off life support. In particular, areas of her brain associated with processing conscious experience – areas that are active when we move through the waking world, and when we have vivid dreams – were communicating with those involved in memory formation. So were parts of the brain associated with empathy. Even as she slipped irrevocably deeper into death, something that looked astonishingly like life was taking place over several minutes in Patient One’s brain.

Was the brain, as a receiver, saying it's final farewell to the consciousness it hosted or have we somehow evolved a completely pointless trait which means at the point of irrevocable death we bow out with a wave of useless dreams?

Yeah, the amerikan education is hosed and has been for a long time, but some of those posts seem to be projecting stuff onto this thread that isn't there.

I've found it interesting to read and think about. I don't recall being part of such a program, but there are some interesting synchronicities. Maybe I just narrowly avoided GATE's notice. I was labeled """gifted""" in elementary school briefly, but that was only until they realized that was just autistic hyperfixation on creative writing, and I actually couldn't do anything else like math or logic. I got skipped ahead a grade, then skipped back down the same day when I couldn't do a math problem in front of the whole class and melted down. Good times.

Anyway, I do have blue eyes, but I'm not left-handed or ambidextrous. I wonder if I could have been though, because my dad was. He just went to Catholic school where the nuns literally beat your hands with rulers if you wrote lefthanded. He never had much interest in writing in later years, wonder why. I might have been subtly encouraged by his and my mom's experiences to just do everything righthanded.

I still know I'm special regardless of that childhood stuff, but it's because of my own choices and experiences, not anything I was born with.

Anyway anyway,

drat busting the layers out of that hustlers image would be a pain in the rear end but maybe worth it

You could either do a bunch of rapid wipes with the crew whipping across the bottom and stopping for a frame, or you could dump them and move the text down there and make the space where the text is fade to transparency with some stars or something. Or maybe have the monsters move around ominously a little bit like the grey has psi waves and the hands are kinda moving and the werewolf has a little drool

The thing that stands out to me there is that this stuff started happening immediately when the oxygen was cut off. Like I can hold my breath or stick my head underwater and I'm not suddenly having an NDE. This person was basically brain dead but somehow the instant the oxygen was cut off there was an immediate reaction and this so called process of death started. That's weird.

i liked it until the boxes stuff. obvs a raw writer with a talent needing some honing.

there was a story posted here lots years and years ago by a guy whose company seemingly forgot him so showed up to an office with no one, did nothing, got paid and was in a strange kind of employment limbo for a while until the company caught up on its poo poo and it was over. world industries? or something like that

anyways i thought this larp was going there. imho there is a non zero chance that some person can stumble across some like warehouse that is both completely upkept in terms of bills being paid and power being on but also no one even knows its there cos 45 years ago it hosted roswell debris or whatever and now its off the books and in limbo just waiting for people with strangely malfunctioning phones to find them
