The Cybernetic Theory

Image
  In previous posts, I have looked at how alien races have likely already undergone their own Singularity, melding their given organic forms with cybernetics.   Nikki Olson wrote a very fine piece on this as well. In other previous posts, I have looked at explanations for aerial and "visitation" phenomena that are alternative to what is known as "the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis." I have now come across an article that deftly blends aspects of those two genres together into an entirely new hypothesis that I will call, for serious lack of a better phrase, "the Cybernetic Hypothesis."   A writer named  Al Pinto published an article called "Cybernetics and UFOs"   on Phantasypublishing, a site I came across quite by accident.  It's a well-researched and well thought out piece that is done with a refreshing and healthy dose of humility.  Pinto stresses time and again that he is in merely the formative stages of his hypothesis and that what he is w...

Reheading and Beheading

  I’ve never had a re-heading go this horribly before. I’d say I’m pretty good at a beheading- I may have broken a neck once or twice, but never any parts I actually liked or intended on keeping, and usually, a re-heading is the easiest thing, right? Just a little squish and pop and done, a complete person. But this time it just- it just won’t go back on the body??  Which is incredibly frustrating but also, like, why?? And the funniest thing is, I’m not even swapping ahead!! This is a curvy dancer's head going onto a curvy dancer's body!! They match!! This should have been so simple!! But no, this head’s just flopping around like a limp flaccid idiot and my hands are all red and sore now but the head just isn’t attaching all the way!! Today I did six beheadings and two other reheadings, and I wanted to get this one attached so I could take a picture, but somehow it just isn’t working!! The head is just getting squished around but isn’t stretching over the neck right!! And I’m ...

The social aspects and appeal of having a wolf theriotype

  these are only my own thoughts and observations from a few years in the therian community, so don’t take my ramblings too seriously. I’m not accusing anyone of being fake, y’all are valid regardless of how common or uncommon your theriotype may be. As the title states, one of my main thoughts is the social aspect of being a wolf therian. There are plenty of therian videos online, of pack members hanging out or individuals doing vocals and quads. It looks like fun, it makes you wish you had that sort of life and group. Being a wolf means you get to have a pack, you get to have a territory, you can do quadrobics and howl, though not everyone does these things.  With wolf therians being so common, they are often the first thing you come across when learning about therianthropy. A new therian may see a wolf therian’s content and go “that feels familiar, it feels RIGHT, it feels like my experiences, it clicks. That must be what I am” and stop their questioning there without consi...

civil unrest blamed upon climate change

 “If you're poor, the only way you're likely to injure someone is the old traditional way: artisanal violence, we could call it – by hands, by knife, by club, or maybe modern hands-on violence, by gun or by car. But if you're tremendously wealthy, you can practice industrial-scale violence without any manual labor on your own part. You can, say, build a sweatshop factory that will collapse in Bangladesh and kill more people than any hands-on mass murderer ever did, or you can calculate the risk and benefit of putting poisons or unsafe machines into the world, as manufacturers do every day. If you're the leader of a country, you can declare war and kill by the hundreds of thousands or millions. And the nuclear superpowers – the US and Russia – still hold the option of destroying quite a lot of life on Earth. So do the carbon barons. But when we talk about violence, we almost always talk about violence from below, not above. Or so I thought when I received a press release...

  Posted:   22 Aug 2021 01:55 PM PDT A big rig driver would regularly stop at the South Fork Snoqualmie River to take a dip. On this one occasion, he came face-to-face with a Sasquatch at the river's edge. I recently came across the following account: "I used to stop at this location to swim and occasionally bathe every time I was passing through, which was frequently (South Fork Snoqualmie River in King County, Washington). I would park my big rig up off the southern side of the highway off ramp, lock her up, grab some soap, my S8+ cell, my 1911 wrapped in a towel and head down in my trunks. Didn't matter if it was winter or summertime. I love the shock of the cold water and firmly believe it's healthy for you. One day just before 11am, I arrived and headed down the side of the hill to access the water when I saw something tall and brown and hairy. I sometimes try to tell myself that it was a brown bear running on its hind legs, but the way it moved was eerily human-l...

  Unexplained Incident: Malevolent Clearing in the Polish Forest Posted: 22 Aug 2021 02:46 PM PDT A Polish man retells a frightening account told to him by his grandma. When she was a girl, she walked into a supernatural forest where a malevolent circular clearing beckoned her to enter The following account was forwarded to me by  Kyle & Cam at Expanded Perspectives : "I always wanted to send you some paranormal stories from my family that I have gathered. However, I was always worried that I won't be able to write them, as English is not my first language. I will try my best. As I said, I like to gather paranormal stories from my family members. I have a lot of them and some are really disturbing. But this one is the oldest one I heard. It happened to my grandmother just after the 2nd World War in the autumn of 1945 in Poland. My grandmother was 14 years old. Now, few words about where it happened. My grandmother, when telling the story, always thought that it was ve...

  Tall Gray Upright Canine Seen in Rural Brown County, Wisconsin Posted: 12 Sep 2021 07:43 AM PDT An 11-year-old Wisconsin boy observes an 7 foot gray colored upright wolf-like cryptid in the woods near his grandparents house in rural Brown County. The sighting is still fresh in the witness' mind.   The following older account was referred to me: "This incident happened to me when I was 11 (in 2006). Though I'm an adult now, I’ll never forget what happened that day. I was at my grandparent's house, who were watching me for the day. They live in a mixture of farmland and woods in rural Brown County, Wisconsin, several miles outside of Green Bay. Their yard is mostly surrounded by farmland, but to the right side of the yard are several acres of woods and a swamp. It was a really hot, muggy July morning. I was standing out on the deck, shooting at some cans with my BB gun. All of a sudden, I got this strange sense that something was wrong. It felt like I was being watched...
