If only there was a way to redefine what others perceive as their situation. Then you could get them angry about being in that situation and then point them at your targets. And that is how you code.

Rediscovering the installation process for Expectation Bias shows that behaviorism experiments are coming back in fashion. Bring out the pavlov's dog! Making young children scared of bunny rabbits! This should be fun. It'll be good to be back in business.

You mean like the virtue signaling nitwits in charge now? So I guess the idea is to strip the political, economic, and military power from the U.S. because that's the only thing that explains all the hate against Trump and the actions of the Democrat tribe.

Chinese Professor Saying China Has People at Top of U.S. Core Inner Circle of Power and Influence

It's been my experience how easy it is to frame someone. I used to think it was a challenge to get people to believe the target of the frame job was guilty. It turns out people who don't like the target are more than happy to believe the false accusation. It has a lot to do with cognitive dissonance. It works like this. First a person believes your false accusation. Then they reach an (incorrect) conclusion and act on that false accusation. An action based on a lie is an unfair action. So the person acts unfairly toward the target of your false accusation. Now if they find out new information (read: information they did not know before they acted) that new information reverses the conclusion, they perform the cognitive dissonance because it's much easier to ignore, minimize, or discount that new information than it is to admit they were wrong and they have acted wrongly toward your target. Works wonderfully. The legacy news networks and social media sites are so deep with their unfair actions that when all the evidence on Hunter's laptop surfaced, they actively hid that 'new' information from all the voters. They still are still doing it. Lie's through omission and all.

Now before you judge me, consider that I might be one of those unaccountable intel people who are only interested in self preservation and expanding my budget. Let's have some war in Ukraine. It will be fun.

I wanted to be sure it was an honest question. Cognitive dissonance is not so much about contradictory ideas, unless you count emotion as an idea. It's about ideas conflicting with ones feelings. For example, saying that Trump cares nothing about the truth, that he wants to be the hero, and only speaks facts; therefor, stating anything other than that will never be permitted on a platform he controls reflects a feeling about Trump. But any information that conflicts with these assertions or the derived conclusion of those assertions is ignored or minimized to protect the feeling of the person making the assertions.

Obviously, the person making the statement doesn't like Donald Trump and I am pretty sure s/he doesn't want anyone else to like Donald Trump. But there is a lot of information that does not support those accusations against Trump. Or the conclusion derived from those accusations.

When information and one's feelings are not congruent, a person will practice cognitive dissonance (usually in favor of the way they feel but not always), to reconcile the conflict.

P.S. I am hoping your question is genuine and not rhetorical.

Maybe. But this is the easiest way to get hospitals tax payer money. Go in with no symptoms, get tested, show positive, get 10 day excused paid absence from employer, hospital gets paid for "treating" covid without actually having to do anything, hospital gets to virtue signal how against white people they are by only treating the preferred races. And we get to talk about anything but the Democrats policy failures such as inflation, security issues with the southern border, executive branch not enforcing the law. Call it whatever you want but as long as the Democrats win, only the losers care.

And this does more for global warming than anything else. Water vapor in the atmosphere is by far the leading greenhouse gas. Bring the ocean temperatures up closer to vaporization temperature is like turning up the fire under a pot of water as opposed to turning up the room thermostat.

Hope this gets modded down into oblivion. Wouldn't want to upset the smart ones.

Can already purchase taco bell food with crypto using coinbase. They issue a VISA debit card you can attach to any coinbase crypto wallet you have. It'll cost you a fee, of course. But the most useful thing about crypto is that one can send or receive 'money' to someone else without having to go through a gate-keeper. And it's why the Chinese are making it illegal for their people. They can't have individuals buying and selling goods and services with anyone without CCP having a record of that transaction. This issue is also being discussed in the U.S. Coinbase did not get permission to issue crypto credit. Banking transactions $600 or more may have to be reported to IRS if some get their way. And then, I am sure, the fate of crypto-currencies usefulness within U.S. market will be determined.

Defi stands for "Decentralized Finance".

I like the idea of DEFI because it takes away a central bank's ability to perform the usual fuckery. The value of the crypto currency is only volatile if you compare it to a central bank backed currency (otherwise known as fiat currency), which is naturally going to happen given that we are all still using fiat currency to get paid in and to buy stuff with. When the time comes when we get paid in and buy with cryptocurrency, it wont really matter what the conversion rate between fiat and crypto is.

There is something new to consider. The Taliban defeated and looted the once great U.S. military. There won't be any new monster making coming out of the U.S. as it now begins a rapid decline on the world stage. The U.S. dollar will lose its position and it will be the U.S. suffering the sanctions against it demanded by the new superpower in the world - China.

Yes. Publish is the correct term. And that means section 230 should be taken away from them and they should be treated as a publisher. Since, you know, they have the right to publish what they want and not publish what they don't want.

And he wins by losing.

If we could just find a way to use science to justify policies that serve our faction of the country. Like pay a group of scientists to publish studies that support the conclusions we want. Perhaps get an executive administration that will elevate a group of scientists effectively into policy makers. What could go wrong?

I believe all of them did it the same way by accident just like they claimed because they are just that stupid and incompetent.
