It’s always wild watching a guy who once sold absorbent towels on TV try to absorb an entire political ideology and still come out bone-dry on self-awareness.
The whole “YouTube censored my masterpiece” routine is adorable though. Buddy, if the algorithm really wanted to suppress you, it wouldn’t put you first when someone searches the exact title of your video.
Blessed be the ones who blame Big Tech for what a focus group could’ve told them for free.
Funny story about this guy - he bought land and tried to do a hemp growing operation in my small Vermont town (prior to VT legalisation, but pretty clearly thinking ahead). It was an abject failure and he was a horrible employer (shocking!) - the funniest part was that there are hundreds of longtime growers in Vermont whom he could have hired to make it a going concern, but he thought he knew better. Reports were that much if not most of the harvest got moldy and had to be discarded... 👍👍 Needless to say, no repeat effort since. Not really relevant except as more proof the guy's a moron with money...the killer combo.
I hope at least one of those 35,000 views on YouTube was Ray Parker Jr. and his attorneys. Somehow, I don't think he'd sign off on this theft of his intellectual property.
IIRC, Hewey Lewis sued Ray Parker Jr. back in the day for allegedly ripping off "I Want A New Drug", so he may be afraid that would come back up and ruin his case.
Yeah, true. NDAs cloud the sums of money that changed hands, but it was presumably substantial.
I knew Ray back then. He let it roll off his back. One time we were at the River Run Motorcycle Rally in Laughlin Nevada. We walked into a casino and he put down $5K on a blackjack table. Lost it in one hand and walked away laughing like it was nothing. We’d rib him about that song and he’d say it might be a dumb song, but it paid for that jet over there at the Bullhead City airport. Touché.
well, youtube's algorthim is really ass, but it's usually ass by repeatedly pushing crap i don't want to watch on me. surprised i haven't seen the shamwow guy's thumbnail already..
I think the prevailing wisdom was that consciousness is a ghost in the machine. My personal theory is that consciousness emerges from the five senses being filtered through language.
Like language takes animal awareness, codifies it, which gives rise to self-awareness / consciousness.
I really hate this fucking timeline.
If you are on the fence about voting for this guy, watch this and trust me - after you see this, you'd vote for this guy for PRESIDENT:

I knew about him and Scientology before this article, but this is the gist of it.

Did anyone notice that when Republicans and Right Wingers are on the prowl, all the human cockroaches feel free to come out from under their rocks?
Righties has a sense of humor?
I guess if you think sadism is funny...
Notice he said "our children's mind" like there's only one between them?
Yet another one who wants us all wired up to the Xtiain Borg...

Even Bug Blasters on the SEGA CD, a game so bad it got cancelled, was a better Ghostbusters parody.

This is so fucking petty and vile it beggars belief. There is no bottom with these pieces of shit.
Ta, Robyn.

In general. WTF is wrong with everybody? Has the whole world gone insane?? Was the Earth stuck by some ET Stupid ray??
It’s just more obvious these days. Always been wild. Bunch of bored monkeys on a rock in space

"Google and Youtube covertly suppress conservative content while promoting woke ideology to young children. This produces hate and fear."
This really betrays how much of their schtick relies on ignorance of the'flock'

I'll read it. How strange to suppose that our physical bodies might NOT be a core part of conscious experience.
I think the prevailing wisdom was that consciousness is a ghost in the machine. My personal theory is that consciousness emerges from the five senses being filtered through language.
