I think its the same "get over it" argument. *they* don't give a half a hairy damn about what "gramps" really did. just roll over, play dead.. or be dead somewhere, so *they* can make a few more bucks off the old man's supposed good name.. so many marks to set up, so many others to plunder.. so little time. So much "opposition"..

bankrupt, in more ways than one..

"we don't owe you.. anything.." isn't this the avowed position of "da way"? maybe.. your organization isn't worth a s*it.. remember. *you* might be the science experiment here.. It would be unethical, for me to present anything different here..

I look at the bottom of the pyramid. Breathing, food, water, sex, sleep, homeostasis, excretion. did not da way try to exert control over *almost* every one of these categories? food, absolutely. water? perhaps.. sex? absolutely. to the extent one had to give a schedule of when one was performing the duty with one's spouse.. sleep? yea. Deprivation, for the initiated.. homeostasis? I call this living in some form of normality, or equilibrium.. no, you could not reasonably expect this. Unless one could really "perform".. excretion. Yes. Exhibited by the insane "sign out" rules when staff went potty.. and the little triangular wads of toilet paper.. don't want to "waste", do we.. I'm curious. Who among the "employed" of da "way" are in the second level of this kind of hierarchy?

ha! so we are in kindergarten.. we have a small minded, insignificant cult to hone our skills.. what's next..

my *mission* in this life was to masquerade as another ignorant, susceptible plebe.. what they haven't figured in this.. maybe *they* are the real *experiment*..

I really think.. they don't consider *us* with any more regard than a science experiment..

I think they followed "corporate" america. along with their sociologists without a degree hacks.. the "momentus" experience. Throw "leaders" into a "lifeboat" situation, where they have to vote one of the participants out of existence.. so where are your needs "met". the finest colleague one can have stands before you, and "existence".. Cool.. in the end, you are always *me*..

I dunno. I really need more details to say I at least partly understand your situation.. what I'm looking at is.. they take "leaders" and place them in situations that they must act as brute beasts..

why do they get a "kick" out this.. putting people in the position where they act in brutish, primitive ways.. it really doesn't quite work sometimes..

just a thought. my observation is, da way, puts those who should be self-actualizing at the bottom of the pyramid.. you know. Living on "needs basis".. and such..

I took the bait, and asked a ridiculous question.. let's see where that goes..

and it isn't exactly a "pretty" sight, either. I mean.. how old, lots of extra hair where it does not ordinarily grow, etc. etc. Not to mention various sections of the body sagging.. you get the idea. not a pretty sight.

well, if EVERYBODY is god, doesn't that level the playing field?

why would one want to create their own antithesis.. mathematically, if might make some sense. Lotsa "stuff" kind of cancels..

didn't the Creator, create the snake? I Mean.. didn't he create his own enemy? scary thoughts..

You ARE god.. don't you know, dear friend..

I re-tweeted on one of the tweets. A very, very serious question..

and I ask the question. "Is it for real?"

Maslow's hierarchy of needs might explain that.. and with the deterioration of society, the lower needs might prevail.. I mean.. an empty stomach is not a good political advisor..

I wonder what the inhabitants of the earth thousands of years in the future will have to say about us.. I hope we evolved at least a *tad* past that..

some of us were lucky enough to change our minds in this life..

maybe he "mastered" the use of a bull whip.. in private venues, of course.

I've read as much as I could, at the moment is the synopsis.. they are hitlers, who have no way to go? If that isn't it, I'll read a little closer..

has anybody else here.. identified the floppy drive hardware here? It was 5/1/4 floppy drive. either 180 or 360k drives.. depending on whether it was single, or double sided.. I have an old drive somewhere that will read these. That is, if the current machine's bios will allow it..
