Are you the writer anon, cause nice weave!

Next steps: connecting the devices to form decentralized mesh friend-nets independent of, but interoperable with, the internet. Then: sneaker-net between bridges!

>>3024
I don't know who writer anon is, so I'm going to wager that I am not them. I don't really write. I just like to play devil's advocate. I think the friend-net thing has already been tried with Discord, hasn't it? I guess that isn't decentralized, but the concept of having spaces walled off from but still ultimately a part of the internet is still there. I think you know how awful that has been. The point is that I don't believe something like a cyberbridge community network can have any connection to wider cyber society and survive. Even if it takes ten or fifteen years of small trickling, a small group of devices like that will not be able to hold their own culture forever. There either has to be a great degree of assimilation or a vow of complete disconnection. The constant and necessary physical connection the whole bridge thing necessitates could be the factor that makes a walled garden feasible, though.

>>3025
>I think you know how awful that has been.
Not personally. The few Discord-communities I've been part of, back when I still used the platform, were generally very lovely and encouraging spaces. But I have heard of less amicable spaces and echo chambers with other beats echoing.. Either way: I wouldn't dismiss it as simply and wholly "awful".

>The point is that I don't believe something like a cyberbridge community network can have any connection to wider cyber society and survive.
How do you conceptualize it's survival? Correct me if I'm wrong, but from how you describe it, it sounds more like a static take on stability, wheras I would say that such a community would be more akin to the dynamicism of a flower, feeding the next generation of bees. Friend groups, communities, meshes come and go, they morph, bloom and wilt. Only dying if you view them as individual and isolated, but feeding the cycles if you learn to see, and/or be part of, how.

>>3026
My point about Discord was actually the opposite of your takeaway. You could not possibly have an echochamber of a Discord server because it is too attached to the wider Internet. Discord servers will still fall into modern internet trends, from new slang to trending media to trending talking points and opinions, so on and so forth. The modern internet is too influential to keep out with the interoperable system Discord uses. That is what makes it awful, as I say.

Both the fact that any community will have an eternal impact on its members regardless of its current status and the fact that no online community can survive being connected to wider cyberspace are simultaneously true. The state of the modern Internet forces complete isolation to be the only route that leads to true survival, at least culturally. A community will "pollinate" as you say, and this is a great thing. The problem is that the Internet is so ubiquitous that those influences only serve to influence the wider Internet culture and not be influences in themselves to people. This is why I think having an isolated culture with its own slang and inside jokes and trends and such is important. There are no more cycles with/through these kinds of communities, and I think that should change. All of this to say, a cyberbridge community could accept unplanned obsolescence and allow itself to be a part of the wider online community, accept its eventual dissolution and seek to make the most impact in can in its circumstances and live on through that impact. I believe, however, that a cyberbridge community would be better off isolating itself from proper Internet access and forming its own culture. The former would improve the lives of its members through its having existed once it is no longer stable, but I do no think this is enough. I hope this all answers your base question.

Coming back to this two months later, I can't believe all of this happened over some stupid reference to a Gibson trilogy. I just found out about that series and I immediately realized.

studying the hypnotic techniques of hypnoporn is educational
but everyone is an idiot because sex is the ultimate hypnosis anyway. there is no hypnoporn, sex is hypnosis

I found more /kind/ memes U-U

Good morning anons!!! I love the idea, let's all be /kind/!

>How was your day, anon?

I didn't sleep much which is stupid because I have an overnight 6 hour train ride today that I am super excited about. Had to stay away from home early morning so I grabbed a bagel and coffee from the deli and now I am chilling at the public library. I should be more productive here but I am watching yt…

How is your day going? /kind/ly wishing everyone well :)

>>7980
Public libraries, coffee+bagel breakfast, and exciting train rides?! Sounds wonderful. Sorry to hear you didn't get much sleep. Update us though: what was this exciting train ride?

>How is your day going? /kind/ly wishing everyone well :)
Thank you! My day is going well. Was lucky that a housemate had made coffee, so got to start the day with one out in the inner hof of the complex we live in. There's a small patch of soild that I tended to last week, and a lot of little greenery is sprouting. And, I was even visited by a tiny little bird which I am now hearing singing from afar. I really hope it'll settle down here in the area!

I'm not awake, I've never not sleptwalked and drifted through life, and I still want nothing more than to disappear, to leave society and its hostility and competition and cutthroat social political gaming.

What's hitting them?

>>962
The funny face party club has (had [has]) been making the rounds.

>>950
how does she smell

>>965
Like freshly showered hair soaked in rainwater.

>>966
she's a snake so she might use her tongue too.

I'm so mentally ill I remember back when I had some kind of hope I could get help somehow or change things but recently things have been so fucked up, I don't see myself ever recovering. I almost get kinda jealous at how mentally healthy the people around me are xD
sometimes I think it'd be better if I just died at this point.

>>7931
but yea idk I guess I'll just ditch the takis and put up with dehydration. might as well walk back to the industrial complex where at least there's no cops. I hope none of those creepy normies talk to me, hopefully their done getting drunk idk
ttyl lain

>>7935
another day….
I put the water in the coffee after drinking it a bit to make iced coffee so I could sit here more.
but yea, idk I'm okay, but also really not. I have infected wounds all over me, I'm dirty and can't shower, and I can't even go to the mental hospital at this point. I'm just so sick of this DEGENERACY
all I ever wanted was to live a peaceful life and love and be healthy. but his fucked up horrible world ruined me so bad and keeps ruining me, and makes me ruin myself. bitch fuck I tried so hard to make a life for myself, to live, go to school, even work. I fucking tried and this sickness got me. now I'm just another one of those sick people you see walking down the street…..
I feel undead.

>>7936
Shit, Lainon, are you me from the future? I hope not; sounds rough.. Makes me think tho. With the trajectory I'm on, we're bound to live similar or adjacent lives, maybe not us as individuals_bodies, but as pattern_expressions. And if I'm being honest, that scares me.

I've been so deeply steeped in the norms of classicism, madphobia, xenophobia, etc., that even though I know we probably could relate in a lot of ways, and the way to actually get out of this mess is by cooperating with others who don't fit into the hegemonic hellscape. But the emotional instinct is there.

Fuck, how do we re-program ourselves

>>7924
I'm having extremely left-over salmon, potatos, and radio.dangeru.us for breakfast, having spent the whole night in front of computer, working on my homepage and just kinda vibing.

Nobody likes it when you're right, especially when they're wrong.

The truth is never popular, because it upsets the ego: "I've got it all sorted out, you can trust me". Truthtellers get subjected to egoic delusion unraveling, it threatens the half-truths and whole-lies they've spun for themselves, which to them is like dragging someone naked through the marketplace, nobody likes that! It's known in psychology as The Backfire Effect.

So never argue with the fool: plant seeds of truth when the time is right, and let it be. Today they insult you, tomorrow they mock you, in a year or ten years or perhaps another lifetime entirely they're repeating your words as if they had discovered them all on their own.

wirechan used to be a wonderful imageboard for discussion and debate nowadays it's just this weird cyber-nigger bullshit…

Wirechan was never the same after the raid

Now it's homeless tier

>>7981
Tourist here, who raided this place?

>>7983
Tourist as well, but it was the sharty I think. I remember seeing a post mentioning it last time I came here.

Also 8000 get I guess, yay! I don't have anything cool or funny to post for it but be glad it's not the CP post that's up right now in another thread

that looks disgusting.

Complete goyslop. I feel sick just looking at it.

Are you going to post that to kitchencels?

what am I looking at

Basically there's 2 interpretations

1. The Materialist Neurochemical explantion

DMT is produced in the human mind naturally when we sleep, when you smoke DMT you basically force yourself into a dream state while being fully conscious

When we dream, we imagine very detailed worlds, encounter autonomous entities,, people tend to have similar dreams etc. But the difference is we are fully concoius, so everything feels *real* in a powerful and terrifying way.

So it makes sense that people's experiences on DMT are similar, as opposed to LSD for example, which is a foriegn neurotoxin and so highly unpredictable, DMT is something our brains already know how to process.

2. The mystical inter-dimensional interpretation

Reality isn't real, our brains are inter-dimensional computers which are connected to multiple realities and doing DMT allows us to tap into the infinite spiritual complexity of the univerese.

lol demon post

>The reasons are twofold
Most likely something like this. Also creating rabbit holes and dead ends for foreign intel to waste their time on. Congressional hearings might be part of the theater and never forget to follow the money. Defense contractors can profit off of this lore.

2020s jre pilled

>>201
Space and aliens are fake, hence both being shilled so heavily al the time, especially in the 2000's. The whole 'ayyyy lmao' stoner conspiracy theorist is a psyop to distract from actual happenings. The end goal of course, is to BlueBeam all of us into submission to a Gnostic religion so the Cabal can complete the Great Work. iykyk

>the idea of using technology to transcend into a higher being appeals to me
This might appeal to you, but if you are being perfectly honest with yourself, do you even believe that it's possible? And if you believe it's possible, what does that even mean, to be a "higher being"?
What you need is Jesus Christ, brother. There is no higher being than Christ, who is God in the flesh. Through Him, and only through Him you may become a "higher being", someone who is holy, righteous, loving, gentle, humble, merciful etc… This happens only, and ONLY through the grace of God, who is ultimately the source of all goodness.
In Him is also the peace and calmness you are looking for, together with the assurance that everything will be fine.
Read the gospel of John, brother, and really consider:
Is it possible that Jesus Christ of Nazareth truly is who he claimed to be? The living Son of God of the universe?
I testify and assure to you that He truly is.

I'm not really religious. and I don't think there's anything divine or whatever about the internet. I think it's a cool revolutionary thing that lets people connect and learn things together and can empower people to have experiences they may not have otherwise had, tho

>and that we're losing our touch with reality
Care to expand on this? Like, how do you conceptualize reality and being in or out of touch with it?

Personally, I am unsure how I feel about this whole thing.

On one hand, my animistic beliefs harmonize very well with my love for tinkering and understanding, and my experiments re-programming of xenophobia to xenophilia.

On the other, I have a growing sense of dread from the speed at which a lot of technology operates, and the growing rift between reliance on and comprehension of more and more advanced technology.

I'm trying to solve this by ways of technological degrowth without resorting to primitivism, combined with spiritual breadth and ecological grounding. Insha'allah we get planetarily stable ecosystmems for circuit boards and drugs, but my imagination is having trouble visualizing how we'll get there.

what is?
