Hell yeah, stories like these still haunt me, a land lobber, years after reading about them - http://www.theage.com.au/news/National/How-a-cave-diver-filmed-his-own-death/2005/01/14/1105582714674.html - a diver makes a record descent to the body of a fellow diver, his equipment becomes entangled with the corpse, and he drowns while recording his death on camera. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF4iFJ-G74o - video with narration explaining what was happening and what went wrong Drowning in the total darkness of an underwater cavern, quite literally in the embrace of a dead man, that is just existentially terrifying.

False memories are a thing, but that's because memories as discrete persistent phenomena do not exist, and only get assembled in response to stimuli to fit some sort of functional demand - which essentially means that people remember what they want to remember, or what they feel they should remember. It has nothing to do with hypnosis.

NLJP posted:I have some photos of the Brno catacombs before they were reopened to the public. Huge piles of random bones everywhere, it was like a vision of hell. Pretty cool. I'll see if I can find my old sd card with them but it was like 10 years ago... The people who first, and unexpectedly, broke into that ossuary described it as "we probed a wall and skulls started pouring out of everywhere". Very metal.

It was on a submarine, you don't go on a submarine trip without tons of tools and heavy equipment. Anyway, he probably did it regardless.

Proteus Jones posted:Almost certainly CO2 buildup. They increase the percentage with every breath. It’s basically slow suffocation and it terrifies me about as much as burning to death. What needs to be stressed is that your body is built to resist CO2 build up, it knows you are dying, and is making you suffer in hopes of finding an oxygen source. It's not a calm death at all, like what you would experience from breathing in a thin stratospheric atmosphere with low CO2 concentration.

Has anybody linked the BBC podcast - documentary Death in Ice Valley? https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p060ms2h It's a BBC - Norwegian coproduction investigating the unsolved death of the so called Isdal Woman, a mysterious foreign person who had traveled Norway under a number of assumed identities before being found dead, charred and drugged, at a remote country site. She was possibly a spy, and there is some evidence that the Norwegian secret service had been involved in burying elements of the case. The podcast itself is very good, as one would expect from BBC, with original interviews and on site investigation,, and it is still ongoing.

I'd only done cursory reading on it before, and they're doing a good job of going deep in depth on it. tbh i kind of expect they have no new evidence whatsoever, and they are just trying to dilute their one lead to sound more intriguing, but the programme is interesting nonetheless

Sarcopenia posted:That's exactly my point. I don't know how many times I've tried to explain to people that for example, that time when someone close to you died is not the same thing. It always seems like they feel like it is a slap to their face. As if I'm diminishing the pain they've felt due to things that have happened to them. "I felt a huge loss and I got through it without being a sad sack.". I could have gotten a million dollars tomorrow and be promised world peace but it wouldn't have changed the fact that in my mind I was a worthless sack of poo poo that people would be way better off not having in their lives because I'm a big fakey faker who is draining the life out of everyone around me. I've been thinking about this a lot, and I've come to the conclusion that while a brain can imagine living without legs or without an arm to some extent, because those factors do not affect the working of one's cognition, a brain just can't imagine itself being deformed by a mental illness, no matter how well meaning the person trying to understand depression can be. It's like, cogito ergo sum, but what happens when the cogitum breaks down, can the being that flows from it relate to the being built up from the "normal" cogitata? Hardly, if it really is true that we are just a product of our experiences.

Tashilicious posted:It was about how TV is going to kill books. I mean, did you read the novel? It's very, very explicit about this, or rather about the infantilization of society through mass media. The setting isn't the totalitarian state people ascribe to it for some reason, it's a democratic country where people choose to oppress themselves and run their society into the ground for the sake of gratification and obsession with media hyperreality. It doesn't say the government depicted in the book is just, but it is the product of people-shaping technologies and of people trying to enforce conformity of the whole society with their lifestyles.

I stopped listening to the Last Podcast on the Left when they did an episode in which they unironically took a military brief about hybrid warfare and little green men as a public admission of the existence of aliens and human-alien hybrids, and of the coming war with alien invaders. At that point it was no longer possible to deny that at least some of the hosts were completely off their rockers.

I don't think that podcast is funded by the CIA, in fact it is a pretty ridiculous criticism, but the CIA has a history of moderating is own criticism by elevating the most toothless or academic / inaccessible criticisms, or ones that actually support their agenda, in order to suppress critics who would be actually be inconvenient from the standpoint of getting the public to question the underlying structures that make the agency's position unassailable. Somebody saying the CIA sucks while upholding the foreign policy consensus is an ally to the CIA, because the broader policy framework is dependent on empowering the CIA to work. But in this case I think he's just an useful idiot.

When I listened to them the LPOTL did a good job mocking the criminals while being sympathetic to the victims, which is a welcome change compared to glorifying the murderers or trying to build them up to maintain suspense and / or relishing in descriptions of the suffering of the victims. However the hosts were legitimately some of the dumbest people alive as manifested every time they went off script.
