The irrational in politics
So Donald Trump´s possible running mate Kristi Noem is unelectable because she killed a puppy 20 years ago, but Trump himself is electable despite all *his* crazy shit? LOL. Makes you wonder if the ChiComs were right after all. American democracy really doesn´t work...
Human desire
"How can Christianity be man-made if it goes against all human desires?" seems to be the most recent Christian TikTok meme. The atheist with the strange moniker "Genetically Modified Skeptic" has little problem responding to it.
Summary: Christianity doesn´t go against all human desires, it can be a good thing for a community from a Darwinist survival viewpoint to give up some desires, and Christianity isn´t the only religion that conflicts with (some) human desires. What about Buddhism or Jainism, for instance?
Or as somebody pointed out in the commentary section: if you are a (modern American) Protestant, you can´t use this argument anyway, since traditional Catholics and the Orthodox give up even more than you do!
Sede vacante
SPOILER ALERT, MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD
“Angels and Demons” is the second film in the so-called Robert Langdon
franchise, based on novels by Dan Brown. It´s the sequel to the notorious flick
“The Da Vinci Code”. Somewhat confusingly, the original novels were published in
exactly the opposite order, with “The Da Vinci Code” being the sequel to “Angels
and Demons”. I never read the novel “Angels and Demons”, but judging by Wikipedia´s
summary, it´s more extreme than the film adaptation. But sure, the film is
pretty extreme and unrealistic too! That being said, it´s the best of the three
Robert Langdon films. Tom Hanks, Ewan McGregor and Swedish actor Stellan
Skarsgård are some of the highlights.
As per usual, “symbologist” Robert Langdon and a female sidekick get
embroiled in a crime investigation with religious undertones, and run around
various old churches frantically searching for clues in obscure artwork. This
time, the entire plot is set in Rome during a papal conclave. The four most likely
candidates for the papacy are kidnapped by the Illuminati, who intend to murder
them under ritualistic forms at symbolically potent places around the eternal
city. The assassin is not a religious or anti-religious zealot, however, but a
freelancer who reminds me of Joubert in “Three Days of the Condor”. The
Illuminati have also gotten their hands on an anti-matter bomb they intend to
detonate inside the Vatican. Since enormous crowds have gathered at St Peter´s
Square, thousands of people are at risk of being killed in the blast.
The somewhat unexpected plot twist is that the Illuminati don´t exist,
the entire terrorist plot really being planned by the Camerlengo (the pope´s
secretary) to make himself pope after murdering his superior. In other words, a
classical false flag. The Camerlengo is angry at the pope´s attempts to
reconcile faith and science, the pontiff even expressing support for CERN´s
search for the “God Particle”. When exposed, the Camerlengo (apparently a Catholic
fanatic from Northern Ireland!) burns himself to death as a pleasing sacrifice
in the eyes of the Lord. In the novel, the story is even more gruesome, with the
Camerlengo being the pope´s illegitimate child with a nun through artificial
insemination. Overcome by shame, the unfortunate secretary (who is Italian in
the novel) self-immolates.
Well, I didn´t say the plot was logical.
Although released in 2009, one can certainly draw parallels between “Angels
and Demons” and the strange shenanigans four years later surrounding Benedict XVI´s resignation and
his replacement by Francis I. The riotous crowds in the Piazza
San Pietro could be seen as a metaphor for the conflicts between liberals and
conservatives within the Church. Real conspiracies – or conspiracy theories – have
been mined for inspiration. The Vatican archives, the Vatican bank and the
murder of a progressive pope (John Paul I, hint hint) all play a role. Note
also the weird coincidence that the new pope in the film calls himself Luke, this
being a name no pope has used before. In real life, Francis also adopted a name
no supreme pontiff has used before…
So while “Angels and Demons” does come across as Hollywood´s crazy look at a papal election in Old Europe, it does make you wonder about a thing or two.

Two of each kind
Two very short pieces on “fringe cryptozoology”, one of them about creationism in cryptozoology. While not wrong, I don´t think it really explains why young earth creationists (YECs) are often interested in cryptozoology.
It has to do with the literalist reading of the Flood story in Genesis.
If Noah brought two individuals of every animal species (or at least “created
kind”) onto the Ark, this number must have included dinosaurs, pterodactyls, bipedal
apes and other animals usually deemed extinct by modern science. I suppose a
YEC *could* claim that they died out shortly after the Flood, but a more intriguing
possibility is of course that they are still around – hence the interest in
cryptozoology. If animals which modern science claims have been extinct for
millions of years are still around, indeed, if animals from all “geological periods”
in Earth history really live together right under our very noses, then “evolution”
becomes a problematic concept. At least from a YEC perspective.
That being said, I also suspect that the emphasis creationist cryptozoologists put on surviving dinosaurs and pterodactyls isn´t a co-incidence. Dinosaurs are sexy, pardon my French, so obviously an expedition to Africa to find a live mokele-mbembe will get more media attention than, say, trying to prove that ground sloths died out only recently (cuz who cares).
Of course, the “cultic milieu” might also be in play here, but the more fundamentalist the Bible interpretation, the less likely it is that “rejected knowledge claims” will be accepted just because they are unacceptable to the Establishment. They must be sifted through the KJV first. UFOs survive the test if they are deemed demonic. Neo-dinosaurs survive the sifting, too, but what about bipedal hairy monsters that are too human-like? But I suppose they could be fitted in somewhere in a “Biblical” worldview, perhaps as Nephilim…

The real Langoliers?
A strange and almost Langolier-like story about a confused German tourist who mistook Bangor for San Francisco. A bit hard to believe, tbh. But then, the small town of Bangor does have an international airport...
Scaring the little girl
Some fun facts (or factoids?) about "The Langoliers".
The behind the scene footage is almost priceless. Yes, most of the mini-series was taped at an actual airport, Bangor International in Maine. You can see the actors and crew surrounded by (perhaps annoyed) airline passengers! The plane used was apparently sold to a Swedish airline at one point, but eventually ended up on a scrap heap in Burma.
The actor starring the crazy Mr Toomy, Bronson Pinchot, was apparently quite the mad hatter IRL, as well. Weirdest of all is that Bangor is Stephen King´s hometown. Never been to Maine but, dude, is it really *that* scary? Even during rush hour?
Raisinette
The word "raisinette" sounds both fake and gay, LOL, but it´s apparently real.
Weirdly, I didn´t realize until now that the raisinette guy in the video of "Neutron Dance" is the same actor as Serge in the actual film, "Bevery Hills Cop". And I´ve seen this stuff since the 1980´s!
However, somewhere in the back of my skull I *did* realize that Mr Raisinette must be the same guy as the insane Toomy in "The Langoliers". I mean, the similarity is striking, not just because it´s the same actor (Bronson Pinchot) but because the respective characters are equally crazy!

Fear of flying
“The Langoliers” is a two-part horror fiction series based on a novella
by Stephen King. It scares the hell out of some people, but personally I just
found it weird and incomprehensible the first time I saw it decades ago. I
recently watched it again (strangely, it´s available on YouTube for free) and found
it to be extremely dragging, although perhaps a bit more comprehensible. The
only interesting characters are Dinah, Toomy and Nick.
The plot revolves around a group of airline passengers on route to Boston
who wake up mid-flight only to find that everyone else on their plane has
mysteriously disappeared (Rapture-style). After landing in Maine, the group discovers
that everyone else in the world seems to be gone, too. The group somehow
manages to deduce that they have travelled back in time after their airplane
flew through a mysterious light phenomenon. Much of the plot (such as it is)
revolves around the blind girl Dinah, who has telepathic abilities, and the
clinically insane Toomy, who fears a group of demonic beings he calls Langoliers.
Toomy strikes me as an unrealistic character even for a science fiction story! His
karma is remarkably bad, too, since he is eaten by the demons despite not really
being responsible for his mentally ill condition.
There are some philosophically interesting aspects of the story. For
instance, time travel is said to be (almost) impossible, since the past is
devoured by the Langoliers. This atheist and almost nihilist scenario is balanced
by a religious reverence towards the mysterious time rift, which is said to be
the crucible of creation and so forth – in other words, God. Stephen King
presumably got the idea from the Rapture of Dispensationalist fame. That obviously
raises the question what happened to the people who disappeared from the airplane:
did they actually go to Heaven, merge with Brahman, or what?
But, as already indicated, I found “The Langoliers” quite uninspiring. Fun
trivia: when the novella was published, one negative reviewer said that the
story reminded him of a bad television movie! A somewhat ironic prophecy, that
one.
Blame the Demiurge
The memes above are from the X account "Esoteric Philosophy Memes East and West". The best one? The Demiurge meme...
The small text on the third meme can be difficult to make out. It says: "Philosophy is about truth and meaning, not peace of mind. If you want peace of mind try drinking toilet bowl cleaner". The response reads: "This is the most eurocentrist thing I´ve ever heard, try reading eastern philosophies".
Oh, and I never heard the hoofbeat argument before. I mean, if you live in Africa or outside a safariland zoo, surely the hoofbeats could be from zebras? LOL.

The everpresent prince of Rosh
I already linked to this (last year), but the present political situation seems to have made Ezekiel´s supposed prophecies about Gog, Magog and the prince of Rosh popular again, so here we go again...
Short form: probably not a prophecy by Ezekiel in the first place, the speculations about "Gog and Magog" attacking Israel have little or no resemblance to the geopolitical situation in 2024. "Prince of Rosh" is a mistranslation and has nothing to do with Russia. And nobody knows what on earth "Gog and Magog" refers to anyway, the references being contradictory even in the Bible (not to mention different manuscript traditions).
But sure, there *are* similarities between Biblical prophecies and the general trend of history in the Middle East, but that is easily explained by geopolitics being ever the same. And even that might change in the future due to the climate crisis...

Greta Thunberg contra universum?
No idea what the Latin should be, but I was thinking of the expression "Athanasius contra mundum". It seems Greta isn´t just fighting the whole world, no, she is up against THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.
The clip above features a message from "Kryon", presumably one of the Space Brothers who channel teachings through the human brother speaking. Kryon says that we will be faced with a new Ice Age instead, and that we must therefore develop free energy through gravity and magnetism to heat our homes in the near future.
Regardless of what you may stand on these issues, I find it weird that people in the commentary section uncritically accept Kryon´s messages as authentic. It´s not even a good channeler. He just closes his eyes when pretending to be the alien, speaking with an entirely normal human voice?! Ahem, shouldn´t he at least go into a trance or something...
Maybe next week Kryon could weigh in on the war in Gaza, I mean why the heck not.
Our alien overlords
I never heard of Charles Hall before. If I understand the Why Files correctly, Hall wrote a string of science fiction novels about 20 years ago. Later, he claimed they were all true. Hall started promoted himself as a "contactee" at various UFO-themed conferences.
It´s an intriguing story about how Hall befriended three Tall Whites, as the aliens are called. The alien race has a secret and sinister deal with the US federal government and military, but the Tall White family who interacted with Hall seemed friendly enough, adding another strange twist to the already strange UFO saga.
Note that the Tall White female is called "The Teacher". Hall´s story (at least as retold by AJ) comes across as a strange mix of the benign Theosophical contactee stories of the 1950´s and 1960´s, and the more malign conspiracy theories which became more prominent later.
Most sensationally, there seems to be *some* kind of evidence for parts of Hall´s story, since Google Earth enthusiasts did find strange UFO-shaped objects at exactly the locations they were supposed to be...deep in the Nevadan desert. Or perhaps not so sensationally, since one of Hall´s claims is that the military is manufacturing UFO-like objects according to Tall White specifications. But if so, a more natural explanation is that the military is solely responsible. The aliens are a myth.
The UFOs mentioned by Hall are supposedly similar to the TicToc UFO in one of the sensational disclosure videos, a video which wasn´t released until after Hall´s books were published. But...it could still be a purely man-made object without alien input. What if the military got the idea for a disinfo campaign from reading Hall´s books?
Questions, questions...

Gottes Wille
The article linked below is from 2005, but was recently referenced on X. Apparently, Tucker Carlson said something positive about the Amish on Joe Rogan Show recently, and now the knives are out...
From the article:
>>>But their children have medical conditions so rare, doctors don't have names for them yet, reports correspondent Vicki Mabrey. The Amish make up only about 10 percent of the population in Geagua County in Ohio, but they're half of the special needs cases. Three of the five Miller children, for example, have a mysterious crippling disease that has no name and no known cure.
>>>The three Byler sisters were all born with a condition that has no cure and mysteriously leads to severe mental retardation and a host of physical problems. Last year, doctors figured out the girls have the gene for something called Cohen Syndrome; there are only 100 known cases worldwide. Since then, more than a dozen other cases of Cohen's have been discovered in Ohio Amish country.
>>>But for so many years, the Amish have had no names for these disorders. It was simply a mystery why half the headstones in Amish cemeteries were headstones of children.
Comrades, listen to the FBI

I´ve been locked out of X for a couple of months (my fault), but I recently managed to log in again and guess what guyz...nothing much have changed.
The big things this week is the Ukraine aid package and Joe Rogan´s interview with Tucker Carlson, with the latter saying some really crazy shit about UFOs, creationism and the Amish.
But who knows, maybe Tucker is right about the UFOs!
It´s OK to say gay
Stephen Miller was one of Donald Trump´s most extreme appointees, so I somehow doubt that he is pro-gay. Yet, he can´t help using the gay/lesbian issue in a recent statement on transgenderism.
Miller makes the point that transgender ideology actually targets gays and lesbians (and their powerful lobby groups) in favor of a myriad of entirely new and arbitrary "identities", which will then be "administered" (and defined?) by the federal government apparatus.
He isn´t entirely wrong. Lesbians have long felt targeted by the transgender ideology. How long before gays will be the next group? Unless they embrace the new Social Justice (?!) gospel, of course...

Where is the teleology?
| Synapsids born to rule? |
Previously posted on April 11, 2023. Reposted here a propos a recent ironic post about "non-avian" dinosaurs...
Synapsids were the dominant land animals during the Permian, only to be replaced by the sauropsids during the Mesozoic. Then, after an unfortunate meteorite impact, synapsids became dominant again.
Humans are synapsids. So are all other mammals (of course) and various groups considered ancestral to mammals, or closely related to them. Reptiles and birds are sauropsids.
In other words, synapsids and sauropsids have alternated as the dominant land animals for the past 300 million years or so.
So where is the teleology? Asking for a friend named Ashtar Command.

Alyoshenka
This Russian story (or perhaps tall tale) is fascinating for one reason: the way it´s open to several completely different interpretations, each one just as "logical" as the others.
The Japanese film team - clearly inspired by US and Latin American UFO-alien lore - expected the strange "Alyoshenka" creature to be an extraterrestrial entity of some kind. The local population, on the other hand, connected it to folklore about "the Little People", presumably trolls or fairies.
The narrator, finally, claims that it must have been a mutant fetus badly damaged by radioactivity. Not impossible, to be sure, but also a kind of modern folklore where every strange birth defect can be attributed to the "mysterious" forces of nuclear power or ditto explosions...

This is only a preview, but it seems the biggest controversialist on YouTube, crankster-prankster Edward Dutton, had to disable the commentary function on this one!
For a moment, I thought he was losing his sting, but apparently not.
Ascension to INNER Earth
Peter Mount Shasta (Peter Mt. Shasta) is not only a spiritual teacher in
the I AM tradition actually living in the town of Mount Shasta, California. He
is also a UFO contactee. I previously linked to a video in which he claimed to
have met Semjasse (as he spells her name), the alien female from the Pleiades mostly
associated with Billy Meier.
In this interview, Peter continues his story. If I read him right, Semjasse
took him on a tour through the Hollow Earth by an entrance at the North Pole.
Admiral Byrd is explicitly mentioned. There is an apocalyptic undertone in the
interview, Peter claiming to have heard a prophecy by Ascended Master Saint
Germain that cataclysmic events will make it necessary to evacuate the Earth
surface. However, the chosen ones will not be beamed up to spaceships, but
rather taken to the interior of the planet, which is paradise-like, these
conditions being the result of the Inner Earth vibrating on a higher frequency.
One intriguing feature of Peter Mount Shasta´s message is that it sounds
less negative than similar channeled messages about an impending “world
evacuation”. Everyone is called upon to meditate and cleanse their karma,
forgive their enemies, and in general spread compassion and light around. By
thus avoiding negative energy, more people can perhaps be saved from the
destruction at the last moment.
In the second clip, Peter shows pictures of the UFO-shaped clouds around
Mount Shasta (the actual mountain), claims that the aliens created us, and discusses
the recent “disclosure” in Washington DC.

Ufological Euhemerism
“`Ancient Astronaut´ Narrations: A Popular Discourse on Our Religious Past” is an article by Andreas Grünschloss, first published in the Marburg Journal of Religion in 2006 (vol 11, no 1). The article does contain some interesting information on Erich von Däniken and the Ancient Astronaut milieu, although I suppose it´s possible that aficionados (or critics) of said milieu knows everything already! The main thesis of the article is familiar to me, however. The author points out the seemingly paradoxical fact that while the ancient astronaut “theory” could be seen as a “broken myth”, in the sense that it de-enchants and explains the mysteries of the past in terms of modern technology and humanoid space-farers, it has also re-enchanted the very same past and made it mysterious again. The “discovery” that humanity´s gods are really alien astronauts is turned around, making the aliens the new gods!
Däniken´s supporters organized themselves in the Ancient Astronaut Society
(AAS). I´ve heard somewhere that AAS later developed in a New Age direction. This
is not confirmed by Grünschloss, who claims the exact opposite. In order to
sound more “scientific” and respectable, the AAS changed its name to Archeology,
Astronautics and SETI Research Association (AAS RA). The author doesn´t seem to
have noticed that Ra is also the Egyptian sun-god, so perhaps there is a pun in
there. The membership of the AAS back in 2006 was surprisingly small: only
about 800 members worldwide, of which about 600 were from German-speaking
nations in Europe. However, the influence of ancient astronaut “theory” must
have been far wider, since Däniken had managed to open a theme park in
Interlaken in Switzerland dedicated to his ideas (the town is a popular tourist
destination). Add to that various popular Hollywood films. Today, there is also
the popular TV series “Ancient Aliens”.
One thing I wasn´t aware of is that Charles Hoy Fort wrote about UFOs
decades before the term was coined and the phenomenon “really” born. He also
speculated about alien visitations in the past, and wrote that humans might be
somebody else´s “property”. Däniken is of course well aware of Fort, and also
borrowed extensively from a French archeo-astronaut writer named Charroux.
Grünschloss believes that one can discern clear similarities between the books of
Däniken and the two aforementioned writers.
The AAS tries to put themselves forward as scientific, as a kind of
Paleo-SETI. Needless to say, the article author isn´t terribly impressed by
their “research”. Däniken and his associates simply repeat, over and over
again, all the old claims from the 1960´s and 1970´s, including those that have
been convincingly debunked (like the Mayan “astronaut” from Palenque). I also
get the impression that Däniken is strongly down-playing the more “esoteric”
side of his speculations, which include a belief in extrasensory perception and
an interest in Theosophy. Instead, he says that “everything is technology”. The
AAS, while criticizing establishment science for policing its boundaries against
the likes of AAS, engage in boundary policing themselves. The group strongly
condemns “UFO cults”. The author also wonders why the only aspect of modernity
projected onto the ancient aliens is technology. Why not something else? I
assume he has in mind such things as politics or social relations. What attracts
followers to speculations about ancient aliens is precisely their simplicity,
alongside a longing for the exotic and mysterious. Opposition to establishment
science is (of course) also a strong driving motive.
The author then briefly discusses the bizarre Raëlian religion as an
example of the esoteric-religious tendency within ancient astronaut discourse. What
makes the Raëlians to peculiar is precisely that they are nominally “atheist” and
“materialist”, deconstructing the ancient gods as humanoid space aliens, while
nevertheless being a new religion worshipping said aliens. The author ends on a
somewhat pessimistic note, arguing that it´s difficult to convince adherents of
ancient astronaut “theory” with purely rational arguments. Ancient alien
conspiracies will always be more exciting and easier to understand than
traditional religion or the complex theories of science. The continued
proliferation of this narrative has proven the author correct.
El Bandido Generoso
An interesting YouTube clip about Jesús Malverde, the supposed "narco saint" of Mexico. His real history (or mythology) turns out to be more complex. As usual!
Non-avian kind
They were big, they were bad, they were the dominant life form on land for 134 million years...and now they´re gone. In fact, they´ve been gone for 66 million years.

Breitbart News are trolling the Greens. They are not wrong, though. Opposition to mass immigration (and overpopulation) used to be a thing in the environmentalist movement. At least in the United States.

Now, apply the above to God, a being OUTSIDE time and space.
