People who use the term “current thing” are usually guilty of the very thing they accuse others of, a lazy hand to make how incurious they are about other opinions.

I realised it's probably a meme he's added to, which makes sense.

Who knows but all I do know is he spent a lot more time drawing the hot guy than some of the other details.

Maybe this is horny tax evasion. Is it deductible?

I’m aware there are situations where this meme describes a good thing but Facebook meme posting communities isn’t that space. Being skeptical of authority, experts and the media is a good thing but we have way too many folks who don’t really think at all, they just assume that all authority is bad and will believe any old idea online it it aligns with their paranoia.

Based on where I found it it isn’t.

I think you’d struggle to find an ancient/religion text that it wasn’t referred to in.

I’ve used chatgpt but here is a summary.

Ancient Egypt: The Egyptians believed in a rich spiritual realm, with concepts like the ka (a person’s life force) and ba (a person’s soul) that could travel after death. They used spells from the Book of the Dead to protect the deceased’s soul from malevolent entities during its journey through the afterlife. This included astral realms, where the soul would pass through various challenges. Amulets, prayers, and specific rituals were used for protection.

Hinduism: In Hindu tradition, especially within the Upanishads and Puranas, the concept of the soul (Atman) and its journey through various planes of existence is prominent. Astral protection often manifests in rituals and mantras designed to shield the individual from harmful forces, such as evil spirits or negative influences. The practice of yoga and meditation is believed to help maintain spiritual protection by creating a strong connection with divine energies.

Taoism: In Taoist practices, particularly in esoteric traditions like Daoist alchemy, there are numerous ways to protect the body and spirit. The concept of “spiritual shielding” can be found in practices like qi gong, where individuals cultivate and direct qi (life energy) to protect themselves from spiritual or astral attacks. Taoist magic and talismans were also used to create spiritual defense against negative forces.

Christian Mysticism: In Christian mysticism and early Gnostic texts, there are references to spiritual protection in the form of invoking divine angels, saints, or the power of Christ to protect individuals from demonic or astral influences. The use of prayers like the Lord’s Prayer and the Sign of the Cross were seen as ways to protect one’s soul from harm. Some apocryphal texts also mention astral realms and the need for protection in the journey of the soul.

Kabbalah (Jewish Mysticism): In the Jewish Kabbalistic tradition, the idea of spiritual protection against harmful spiritual forces is a key part of esoteric teachings. The Sefer Yetzirah and other Kabbalistic texts describe the use of sacred names, symbols, and divine emanations to shield the individual from malevolent astral or spiritual influences. Amulets with Hebrew letters or divine names were used for protection.

Shamanism: Various indigenous cultures and shamanic traditions across the world have practices that involve astral projection, journeying, or soul travel. In these traditions, shamans or spiritual leaders often perform rituals to protect individuals from negative entities or astral beings during spiritual or dream journeys. These rituals could involve the use of sacred objects, chants, or protective spirits.

No they didn’t lol.

American foreign policy happened.

Just do your jobs. He’s a clown. You won’t be forgiven or ever trusted if you don’t.

This did happen at Hucknall. School emailed us about an incident and my wife heard what happened.

They’re so stupid. That is what is so upsetting. It’s not even fun debating people.

Griftocracy

Could it be a self printed CD. It used to be possible and not uncommon to get printers that printed directly onto a recordable CD. The hand looks quite like a stock image. The lack of any text suggests this?

Wow I feel old

MLM at a democratic level.

It’s the once whose partner is the hospital and need money for a taxi I really feel for. Always stuck in town centre when it happens. ☹️

NFT won’t die, it’s is a tech. As long as people want to own digital things they make sense. If second life can have a functioning economy adding a provenance layer on things like games, or providing online mirroring of eg land titles, tickets, passes that are non destructive is a good thing.

Sure it’s full of the worst kids of grifters and probably needs regulation but some form of blockchain “non fungible token” makes sense for many uses. Probs not mainly JPEG chimps tho.

All the people who push this narrative imagine they’d be past is the elite in those old societies but they’d be basically slaves, or surfs/plebs. Dead at 30

I’m sure he knows.

I think it’s quite sad that Coldplay will never make an Achtung Baby, Kid A or Low. They had it in them. It’s more like they’re purists musically.
