    This is nonsense. I know for certain that I have an ideal body, yet the span of my outstretched arms and my height differ by about 5%.
    Leonardo was an idiot, or maybe the AI that posts this twattery.

  2. Why do so many “woo-woo” practices seem to help, even when we know they are not literally magical? I’ve been thinking a lot lately about rituals, symbolism, neuroscience, and why humans seem wired to create meaning through routines, stories, and emotional connection.

  4. CW: Mention of so called "AI"

    It was like being in some sort of prosperity theology church or "manifesting" seminar. It was genuinely insane.

    Oh, and they had a short talk from a homeopath beforehand.

    It was cultish and bonkers.

    Spoiler: It's completely NATURAL.
    Sandstone just does that all on its own.
    If you still have any weird-woowoo-von-Däniken-esque doubts about this then visit Orkney where you'll see this stuff ALL OVER PLACE, much of it no longer underwater so you can actually look at it up close and touch it.
    It's just what rocks do.

  7. This is likely the most influential interview (30m) that you will hear in your life.
    Alex is a #physics and #neuroscientist professor.
    As far from #woowoo as you can get...

    He rationally critiques the ossified #materialistic #science and offers an opportunity for humans to expand its myopic and destructive obsession with a very narrow perspectives if the hard problem of #consciousness

    He touches on #AI and the toxic ideology of #broligarchy , #transhumanism

    So presumably I could get some AI monkey to generate a whole deck of those, print and sell them without incurring any copyright challenges?

    One day, in the dim distant future, when humans have finally grown up, there'll be a huge museum filled with examples of non-self-aware OCD architecture like staggered stairs, churches, temples, giant Buddhas, etc.
    LOL

    When the U.S. descends into full scale civil war (next week or whatever) and all its proper industries/businesses have to migrate to somewhere less idiotic, that would make a brilliant location for the new #Stargate series!

    That link is to the 25th November 1977 edition of the (once) prestigious Horizon BBC scientific documentary series which brought much greater attention (in Britain) to von Däniken's 'ideas'.
    Sadly, the version on archive.org has, rather irritatingly, been dubbed into American.

    That's an interesting subset of what appears to both major and minor arcana.
    I think I might wait to see if he gets around to doing the other 58 so that they're actually usable. LOL :-)

  13. @cmconseils
    The bullshitters perpetrating the nonsense ran out of ways to monetise it any further, what with all the actual facts about it being widely available.
    cf. Loch Ness monster, ancient alien visitors, etc.
    The same way fascism completely died out.
    Oh, hang on a mo...

    Funny how this kind of thing stops happening when there's actual stuff going on in the world.

  16. So I think there is something to #relationshipintition I was dead asleep earlier and suddenly woke up. A couple minutes later Dorios messaged me saying he had a customer with dried blood on him stagger into his work and wanted me to come hang out until he closed. Thankfully nothing happened and the dude eventually left. But I feel like I got pulled out of my sleep because something in me knew something was off with Dorios #woowoo

  17. Brother calls about an important family get-together, I have my mouth full of toothpaste. I get a scam call at said get-together. Microwave breaks, go to local applicance store, and not only do I get a phone call there from my landlord asking if everything's OK, I find that a friend works there (who'll give me a discount)!

  18. CW: WooWoo WootWoot Hobbits

    @sharon Is it silly that I want to add to the #WooWoo tag when spotting it below this (since there's only 1 other thing visible there to me) by adding a #WootWoot to it?

    Anyway, drive-by seasonal tidings to thee, don't mind me.

    Also brought to you by me being so in need of sleep I read the comment below as "Everyone needs hobbits!" (on later again). WootWoots =family name.

    So maybe "May you have food enough for Hobbit meals on your tables" to go with that given the day.

  19. Is it silly that I argue with die-hard #Christians (#trolls) in obviously #pagan-themed #Facebook groups who say the #Christmas tree is Christian by quoting Jeremiah 10 back at them? Yes.

    Is it satisfying and cause me to cackle like the #witch I am? Also yes.

  20. There's nowt new in archaeological woowoo.

    Well worth watching these BBC Horizon programmes from 1999 & 2000 which shredded the same nonsense!!!
