EGGs

For years now I've been obsessed with the noosphere, or the EGG project, which is now called the Global Consciousness Project. It's a set of random number generators (called "eggs") distributed throughout the world that basically flip a coin 200 times a second. Statistically, the probability works out to 50/50, but sometimes, these eggs have shown that large scale world events, both positive and negative, have influenced the numbers. The scientists conducting the study hypothesize that this can prove that we are all connected to a larger global consciousness, that attention influences reality, or that future events can be predicted.

Here's an NBC News video that explains it in video:


Plus, it's very meditative to listen to the heartbeat of the eggs in the Realtime Display.

Reality Horror

Some more interesting conspiracy videos:
The 2012 Ouroborous Doomsday Clock (Part 1 of 9). Interesting discussion of the most recent complex crop circle (pictured below). I've got to find this guy's website. Check out antigrav777's profile for the other 8 parts.





Esoteric Agenda from www.talismanicidols.com. A frightening look inside inner circles and the one world religion. Not sure how real it is, but it makes for good reality horror (stuff that is more frightening if you believe it). Watch it soon as the youtube version was removed by the poster:

Update: Looks like the video was removed from Google too. [7/11/08]

Planet X / Nibiru / Dark Star

There's a lot of chatter that the singularity that will cause the end of history is a dark star with a solar system of it's own-- our Sun's binary sibling-- that comes close to Earth once every 2600 years or so. A simple Google search on Nibiru pulled up this website that offers an explanation. But I thought I'd embed two videos from Youtube, one, the first of a five part series describing the impending apocalypse and pointing us to a website where we can buy books and CDs to learn how to prepare ourselves for this world changing event. And another, by a skeptic and self-professed Debunker who discredits the producer of the first video, as well as other UFO and Nibiru proselytizers.

Michael Tsarion selling conspiracy

Michael Tsarion speaks on 2012 - The Future of Mankind at the Granada Forum in LA on Aug 3, 2006. This video is 2 hr 24 min 48 sec. There is a link to www.originsandoracles.com.

He mentions the conspiratorial movement/alternative history. While watching, I began to develop some rules about how to sell a conspiracy theory.

• Quote from greats to make your points.
• "Henry Ford said 'people deserve the government they get.'"
• "Einstein said that when the bees go, the humans have 2 years left." (Ian Crossland)
• MC Escher in Powerpoint slides.
• Break down words and make them fit your agenda.
• government = from the latin - to control minds
• sanity from the same root as sanitize
• Use other conspiratorial works as sources, even if they are fictional:
• They Live -- a conspiratorial sci-fi movie.
• Use other conspiratorial theories to bolster your own.

He tells a good story, though.

Timewave Zero

I've been exposed to Terrence McKenna's ideas of the novelty theory of time-- time goes through peaks and troughs that correspond to novel ideas and traditional ideas in history-- and found myself looking through his ideas once again, inspired by a youtube video about a talk he gave on "The World and it's double".

He talks about history and novelty here:

I did a Google search for terrence mckenna timewave zero and came up with this site, which says that the singularity will be "a suprahistorical order in which our ordinary conceptions of our world will be radically transformed." This caught my eye, but what I really want to know is what is going to happen after this event. What is the conception of the world that we will inherit?
Perhaps it will be a world that the ancients understood; that inspired the Mayans to create their long count calender; that got the pyramids built; in which religions and great ideas were caught, molded, and expressed. Perhaps it is the time the tower of Babel was built, and God struck it down, made men speak in tongues, and made us forget time and history. I see the end of history as just another cycle, to be replaced again at some point with what we have now-- novelty and tradition. Maybe it will last 1000 years; the 1000 years of peace that the Bible mentions as a precursor to Christ's return.
Terrence McKenna died in 2000 of brain cancer.
