The cringe was strong in that periscope. What’s to be gained with a move like this? What’s the lesson? I can’t see anything positive that could come out of stealing someone’s house plant. All it did was create tension between Buz and his landlord.

I think Noah could use a drink or two, but how you’d get it to him is another story.

I read this quote more along the lines of “people are attracted to power because of the things they can do for themselves with it.” People want all of the benefits, but none of the responsibility to use it properly. It is the birth of all corruption.

@nothenrygale It could be something, or it could be nothing, only to lead into the version of The System that is reflected in the marketing. We can’t possibly know with any degree of confidence at this point. What I do know is that one shouldn’t ignore the good parts of something on the basis of shoddy marketing. If The System does turn out to…[Read more]

@pandace88 That’s such a wonderful reply. Proud of you!

Before, I’ve said that based on The System’s marketing materials, I have no interest in buying what Noah’s selling. But if things continue in this way, doing good in the world and good for other people, it looks like there are things to be learned here, even if the overall package turns out to reflect the marketing.

Lauren’s task reminded me…[Read more]

@maddyxxx Reading through the post you made above, I think the intended lesson of “how to be as effective as possible with what you already have” was good in its intention, and a perfectly valid piece of life advice regardless of what The System might have to offer next. But the way you went about teaching it left a lot of room for alternate…[Read more]

From the perspective of someone who wasn’t there, I can see both good and bad in what went down today. On one hand, we are being reminded that a lot needs to be done to alleviate the suffering of the less fortunate. On the other, as @superstar said in the Slack group, today’s charity was all just a show, meant to promote The System. @nothenrygale…[Read more]

Nice work @larry! The biblical connections hold up better than I thought they would. Two questions – if Noah is to be the sacrifice, then who or what was sacrificed during the new moon? And what was the change it brought? None of us have the answers yet, I believe.

@wanda102 I agree with you and @bcbishop that it makes little sense to resist something when we got what we signed up for, but I believe the Resistance has a valid place in all this and want to offer my two cents. We signed up to be taken into darkness, and we are possibly almost definitely paying for that with personal information. That’s all…[Read more]

@nothenrygale Like you, I don’t want to buy what The System is selling. “Become more ‘successful’ by being inconsiderate to all those around you” — it’s not the right thing to do and will frankly do more harm than good, whether that’s just Noah’s selling point on the surface for something deeper, or whether that’s what The System really is about.…[Read more]

Holy moly what a tale! I admit that what Noah said about having no one else to rely on at the end of the day holds some truth, but I don’t think that automatically makes someone petty. At the end of the day our approach to life is what we make of it, petty or dignified or however else. Call me naive if you want to.

The flyer is hilarious. And I…[Read more]

The philosophy of Stoicism comes to mind. Rather than subconsciously letting ourselves be worked up over who Noah was talking to or what they’ve been asked to do, neither of which we can know or control, we can choose to let it play out and respond appropriately when the time comes.

Does Noah know for sure that the person he wants was present? Then again, I suppose it doesn’t matter, since they’ll likely see this post if they weren’t. Also, good of him to discourage drunk driving.

@goldtongue If it is OOG, who knows, you might get an actual call from Noah and then follow him into a warehouse to watch a ritual and be subsequently brainwashed!

I’m at work so I can’t listen to the voicemail, but the number of strange things, from the phone number to the not-Noah voice and existence of a voicemail in the first place, is really fishy to me. Who would have the motive to make that call in the first place? I think you’re being trolled, but by whom I don’t know.

If it sounded like Noah, it might have actually been him posing as his dad for whatever reason. But if it actually was Horace, the fact that he called at all to ask what he asked makes me think things aren’t going too smoothly at The System HQ.

@phydestrius From what we know so far, The System is a business run by the Sinclair family that purports to help people better their lives, self-help style. The front man and face of The System is Noah Sinclair, supported by his wife Sarah. Check out noahsinclair.com if you haven’t already.

@shaun I’m thinking it’s due to Daddy Horace’s influence. He and Noah have butted heads in the past, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what the rebranding is all about.
