Sorry, two different points. I was talking about Robert Forte joining the thread, making himself available to all of us to ask questions about the interview, his research, his involvement in the psychedelic movement, his interactions with Leary, Wasson, Baron, etc., why he thinks the current...

I meant this thread. Why join a thread specifically about the "Softer Side of CIA Psychedelic Mind Control" when your view of the world is so narrowly constricted (and rah rah American hegemony, regardless of the human body toll and the manner in which such hegemony is maintained) that you get...

The interviewee, Robert Forte, tries to join this thread's discussion at #13. Forte makes some really interesting claims at #53 and #54, which are basically ignored or dismissed/ridiculed (blowhard), who then goes on to ridicule anyone who believes in anything other than the official narrative...

Here’s my conspiracy: Somehow, somewhere, somebody in the bowels of some alphabet agency came across Alex Tskaris’ Skeptiko podcast, which went from a harmless podcast about the study of NDE’s to a podcast that started to look into the darker agendas of the elite/agencies on the consciousness...

No, I am frustrated by my friend's inability to even question current official narratives (e.g. official justifications for war against Syria, Libya, etc. Russia as boogeyman, etc.), despite acknowledging that the government has repeatedly lied to us about the reasons for...

I agree that some conspiracy topics are simply for entertainment value and can generate mock outrage, which is why I don't waste my time on things like flat earth (which seems an intentional muddying/discrediting of conspiracy waters -- but then again, I haven't had any interest in considering...

. . You are right, of course, and I appreciate your perspective on this immensely. Honestly, in real life, I do try to spend most of my time focusing on the positive and uplifting (and creative). I also don't just complain into my laptop or spend my days going down dark rabbit holes. But I...

Well, FYI, I was only huffy to David because I assumed his request for "concrete evidence" was snarky -- as I indicated. Perhaps I'm just tired of those non-conspiracy theorists who are always trying to circle the wagons and shut down conversation that makes them uncomfortable with endless...

. Nice twisting of my post, dpdown. If that made you feel better, go you. . I agree. But if you like the "sciency PSI" ones, why personally bother listening to the interviews Alex has with "conspiracy theorists" -- and then object to/shut down attempted conversations about them in that...

I understand and agree with some of what you are both saying. There is a lot of unbridled paranoia, utter nonsense, and cointelpro/disinfo in the so-called "conspiracy world." I agree that THC and other "conspiracy" outlets often have a "blend of well-founded concern mixed with really naive...

I'm about 60 pages in to Horsley's Prisoner of Infinity and growing increasingly disturbed about Jeffrey Kripal.

Ok, David, here are some mainstream media articles that provide a few examples to get you going. https://news.yahoo.com/blogs/technology-blog/5-real-life-weapons-straight-sci-fi-movie-215550863.html...

Right -- well, usually when people are being sincere, rather than snarky, they don't ask for "concrete evidence" -- since any book or article or podcast I'd share can hardly qualify under that standard. If you are genuine in your interest, you might start with John Marks' The Search for the...

Well, David, I could point you to books and articles I've read and interviews I've listened to about various emerging technologies and the dangers they present... if I were interested in doing the work for you. Or you could do your own homework if you had any genuine interest, and come to...

I don't think there's 100% conscription, no. But I do think there are those among the SV crowd who have extremely suspect backgrounds (i.e., coming from high level military intelligence families or very connected families who were already part of the uber rich, etc) (similar to what Dave...
