I was recently overgeneralizing to a friend about the overall value I find in a lot of brain imaging research, and I just now had a moment to privately dance to music in a way that made me want to clarify what I said to my friend about false positives and that dead fish fmri study. Of course there is lots of good brain imaging research. Certainly you can do things like modeling to reduce the uncertainty of any leading systemic detections that might be discovered in localized brain regions. Like using Bayesian priors based on meta analysis of a literature, to say this or that brain region is associated with this or that function. Yes, that’s true. But you also bring unmodeled priors to the table about what you’re trying to find with the research questions you’re asking. For example, doing instinguishable, though interesting, basic research, while a genocide in the Middle East conducted by our “ally” Israel, threatens to engulf the world in mass despotism that will certainly nullify the value of this interesting research. Almost as if it’s time for those concerned to revisit Chomsky1967 about the responsibility of intellectuals.

This is the song I had on loop while writing:

And Chomsky1967 spoon fed to you:

I consume a large amount of content about Israel’s war on civilization, but this interview smacked me upside the head reminding me about the barbaric practices occurring right this very second by Israel, the United States, and a cryptic network of vassal states in the middle east and within “the west”. The consequences for all humanity if we fail to address this issue rigourously, are far worse than mere nuclear war. As Orwell once said “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever.” Imagine having to pretend you believe in all the weird shit that these “Judeo-Christian” Zionists implement as “law” that you must obey. Living under Sharia law would be a blessing compared to living under Israeli apartheid, and you don’t know what Israel has been up to lately if you believe otherwise.

What is the “intelligent” thing that is magically going to save us all from ourselves? Modeling! Have a look at the nascent “Campaign” tabletop game page that explains a bit more about this game. I think it is important for people to import real world information into their computer games, like Sim City, or Command and Conquer, or in this case the real life game called Illuminati. Follow that page for these video story updates:

“presidential Parkinson’s – controlled power vacuum resets all bidding candidates to rolling 2 or less.”

I’m pretty sick of dystopian sci-fi at the moment, but this movie always seemed like a pretty accurate account of modern politics in the “west”, and probably most everywhere. Would be great if they would release a Volume 2.

Shout out to Michael Pacitti at Art Deco world for putting me on to this track. He made a very cool art deco car slideshow set to this song and it’s on his YouTube channel if you want to see it. Music: Mesmerized P2 (East Cafe’s Enchanted Mix) · CJ Peeton · East Cafe
