I tried it your way before Noah, and one thing was clear: you don’t deliver on your threats or promises (and you probably don’t even run your own show).

Have fun at your rally. I’ll wait to spend my time with the people that actually pull the strings.

Pass.

@meghanmayhem The difference in those scenarios that you leave conveniently unaddressed? We’ve known we’ve been walking into something structured by the OSDM this time. We know they’re here to give us intense emotional experiences, from which they also benefit. And not just because it’s been leaked on a random Periscope: it’s because they’ve…[Read more]

If one wants to empower people, perhaps one should not start the dialogue with secrecy and trickery.

That tactics of BOS have brought skepticism about its motives into play. Shouting at people for not agreeing with them won’t change that.

I’ll always take the people that openly tell me they’re in it for themselves over the ones that lie, and…[Read more]

So he just cheered a shot “To the Resistance” which was either him mocking us… or he’s Team Resistance.

I’ve got a feeling Noah doesn’t care much about Team Resistance, Team System, or even Team Pineapple Pizza.

As long as Noah’s trying to make his dad happy, he’s on Team Emotional Investment And Conflict. Every single side we’re looking at — BO…[Read more]

@thebuz The Subreddit character list has been updated. Forum version en route.

Hi @phydestrius, welcome to Lust!

This is going to sound a little crazy, but here goes…

Last year a nefarious Illuminati-esque organization called The OSDM began running a data collection experiment in Southern California under the name “The Tension Experience.” The idea was to use online and real-world interactions to provoke intense…[Read more]

One of the big ones is a clarification that the OSDM and the Investors are two separate groups (though Horace appears to be the connective tissue running through most things).

This seems key, @kevin – the whole email lays out a structure that we’d guessed at but never definitively known. And it raises some questions.

According to the email, The…[Read more]

Well, well, well. I guess the existence of this forum confirms that The System is OSDM-sanctioned (and HCDI-approved?).

Also seems to confirm a TON of shit is about to go down with Noah.

So does this mean all those who signed up for The Resistance are going to jump ship for The System?? Or will they come up with various justifications as to why they can do both…

Don’t take this the wrong way, @sfire8, but I love you.

Going out on a limb here, @nothenrygale, but I’m guessing Noah doesn’t give a fuck. He just took what’s his.

Great points, @coryphella. I’d also elaborate on this:

Morgan laid it out in no uncertain terms. They’ve lied to him, stolen from him.

Morgan wants you to fight for him, @nothenrygale. So does Stacey Erickson, who magically “found” a bug in somebody’s home. I applaud the efficacy of their tactics, but statements like this are designed to get y…[Read more]

Mmmmmmmm….. cake.

Prologue: The OSDM tries to ensnare by appealing to those who are attracted to an alpha mindset.

Chapter 1: The OSDM tries to ensnare by appealing to those interested in personal, confessional feelsie moments to penpals.

Chapter 2: The OSDM tries to ensnare by locking up those who find comfort in joining anti-establishment movements.

Are you…[Read more]

@nothenrygale @wanda102 Dead-on with both points. It’s fun to characterize myself as being Team Joyce — honestly, the moment any of you meet her you’ll want to do the same — but it’s the mission of HCDI and OSDM that I ultimately support, and will continue to advocate for.

In fact, I’ve used a lot of the downtime this past week to think — abo…[Read more]

But wait @coryphella – did the guy ask you to join a cult after you called him a dick? This could be important.

I find the conversation about emotion vs. intellect to be fascinating, because at this point in The Experience I feel like it’s often analogous to emotional truth vs. strategy.

There are a lot of different ways to go through this experience and none are right or wrong. But that notion of “being present” has always struck me as essential. In…[Read more]

To be honest, this could just as easily be a troll from someone that wanted to mess with the community – but couldn’t do it here in the forums due to good old fashioned IP tracking.

I’m hanging back on Ms. Queen until it’s a bit more clear that this is legit. Just because we’re all on the stage now doesn’t mean bad actors won’t try to join in.

Gut here is that this isn’t Lust related, but if it is she likes HCDI as much as BOS: she liked a recent photo of a particular set of shirts.

That original “the beginning” IG post has been deleted now – though not before she liked a comment I’d left. Others get the same I assume?

Well well, such an interesting couple of days. Complete with name-calling from Team BOS! Classy as always, I see.

Some questions have come up about my statement Sunday night, and in the interest of the same clarity @the-creators just brought to the table, let me clear some things up about myself and the leader of the BOS. I’ve got a wonderful h…[Read more]
