I noticed some patterns on the board the past week and wanted to offer a perspective for TL's edification.
Strength and Weakness
Strength and weakness only come into play if there is some goal. A chess board by itself is just that, a chess board at rest. The players present, rules agreed upon, and the goal of winning must be place to play. Then and only then the game is played and strength and weakness is shown between the players. An outside observer of the chess match would need to understand the rules and game as well to say the knight on d3 is particularly strong or weak within the confines of the rules.
Each participant on the TL board has input. In order to participate, the participant also acts as an observer. The rules are simple, share thoughts.
The unstated rules are far more complex, where each participant has an agenda. Not a bad thing! Unlike chess, the unstated rules are not agreed on. I go allude to this when talking about Q in this post >>5970
The hullabaloo started with KRSN's post:
>P.S. the orginal Q-team wanted to empower anons, farm for new talent, and give POTUS a digital voice. Again, all scripted. It's everyone's personal choice which actors they choose to follow - that is, until they realize they've become an actor themselves.
>Who comprises the Q team now?
>idiots…
Which I happily defend as an interesting point and worthy of discussion, albeit #6498 was lacking tact which I will discuss in a moment. /cbts and /thestorm Q has a different Q team and feel behind it, and perhaps necessarily so. The movement had picked up steam at this and directed towards a different audience of anons. If you study movements, propaganda, memetics, and how ideas propagate it follows the pattern and cycles. This is what KRSN is talking about. Rather than go into specifics, here's a short video that illustrates the point rather well: https://hooktube.com/watch?v=hO8MwBZl-Vc
If the video and dancing were to go on, it would nail down KRSN's point. As the songs change, shouldn't the dances change? Hours later, the first few dancers might continue to want to dance and demand everyone dance in a certain way, but the crowd will need to go about other activities. Water, food, maybe the music changed, etc… Anyone still following the originals are then the scripted actors. Value judgements happen at this phase, I contend this is neither "good" nor "bad".
I love watching and participating in the Q movement, I think it is wonderful that it has brought people together dancing. Corsi and Alex Jones, for example, have been dancing for a long time but forgot the simple rules. They have other agendas.
The Medium is the Message - Marshall McLuhan
With any communication medium, exchanging thoughts is difficult. Even language itself struggles to convey meaning (Ludwig Wittgenstein). The chan as a communications medium in particular lends itself to short outbursts and incomplete thoughts. We miss other communication meaning cues such as facial expression, vocal inflections, gesticulations, etc… Which can be viewed as a positive as well! When things started to flame on the board, it revealed so much more about the game and agendas from all participants. It is the medium where we have to discern meaning.
This post is also part of the pattern, I am playing the part of someone that always seems to comes around to say "Can't we all just get alonggggg?" Hopefully it is with some tact, trying to staying meta about these things.
Zeros and Ones
Another theme, tied to the strengths and weaknesses. Each anon brings something to the board:
Allow 0 = "perceived weakness"
Allow 1 = "perceived strength"
Column = "subject matter"
Row = "participants"
011001010111100001110000…
011000010110111001100100…
011110010110111101110101…
011100100111010001101000…
011010010110111001101011…
011010010110111001100111…
and on and on. Each "strength" and "weakness" fills gaps for the other and we get a more comprehensive whole. Now extend this out to a multidimensional array(pic related), identity starts to take place. The song we dance to.
Less voices, less fidelity and the movement stops.
KRSN, you are awesome. Continue being awesome. You have interesting perspectives on reincarnation, Hindu stories, and astrology that have not really been brought up here. Undoubtedly countless other things to share in that beautiful mind. A great eye for the pics you post too! It gives the board a new aesthetic. You give the board a new aesthetic and more to dance to.
Carry on TL!
