#dangerous technology

The thinkers answer listener questions on the subject of Apocalyptic Events and Survival.

Story: New year, same hosts, new questions, same clones. Starting the year off with an apocalyptic bang, the clone due answer listener questions to prepare for the possibility that this is the last year the human race will be around. An attack from the cat gods lingers and if such events took place it could change the shape of life as we know it. Thus, listener questions on variations of apocalyptic events are dissected in order to come up with a survival plan just in case. All that and more on this episode of Just Conversation.

On The Frame Drift

(Epistemic Status: Endorsed – another thing I Noticed but do not yet have practice on. Also sorta Dangerous Technology socially, but the cost of failure is mostly the same as disagreeing with someone outright so probably not that dangerous) Have you ever found yourself talking to someone and they just…say something or believe something that is wrong in some fundamental way? Perhaps it is a course…

A long time ago, two factions were fighting over a territory. It was an island with a valuable canal – whichever faction held the canal had rights to the toll…

On Screen Hypnosis and Awakeners

(Epistemic status: Endorsed af; trying to develop broader uses for this phenomena) As some of you may know, I am a mediocre hypnotist. A couple months ago, I decided to practice my fundamentals with some basic trance techniques. I refined my induction, I figured out more of the flow of suggestion while the subject was in trance, and I practiced various axes of mental manipulation. The first…
