Thanks for clarifying @russell. I know you are making choices with reasons, and know that…things can sometimes take an unexpected turn with @mike anywhere nearby.

I’m glad you are okay @russell. But I sensed that you were.

As I stated on another thread:

“@Mike appeared sufficiently entranced by Mason to pro-actively pursue employment. He was, I believe, seduced by a kindred (Shadow) spirit more so than Briarberg itself. He auditioned by engaging in the activity most likely to capture Mr. Silver’s a…[Read more]

Good as time as any to call it out, @daela.

Re: Joan of Arc. She was called by God to lead the French against the British, and won. But she was captured and the English burned her, not the French. So I’ve never seen the parallel.

What I did see was community rage.

If anyone was angry at @111error and lashed out, one would do oneself a great…[Read more]

“Well, we never really know anyone, do we?” — M.

We are always lacking complete information. With Briarberg, some little piece is nagging at me and I’d like to get your collective thoughts, and also a thought or two on @mike.

Originally, Mr. Silver called me, read back a piece of an article I wrote praising TENSION, then asked if I really…[Read more]

Hey @unseenpresence, I just found these lyrics from Don Henley’s GARDEN OF ALLAH — it’s the Devil speaking:

Because there are no facts, there is no truth
Just a data to be manipulated
I can get any result you like
What’s it worth to ya?
Because there is no wrong, there is no right
And I sleep very well at night
No shame, no solution
No remorse,…[Read more]

Rebranding.

@unseenpresence

I had a very similar conversation with a good friend a couple of months ago on this very topic.

And you are utterly, frustratingly, correct.

There is plenty of objective truth, but the Internet now buried it — or perhaps sandwiched it — beneath the lies of “opinion”, allowing the most obtuse individual the ability to find…[Read more]

@mike has embraced his Shadow. Or perhaps it has embraced him. I think the latter — as I mentioned before — once that happens, we don’t recognize that person.

One hopes it is only temporary.

Not exactly. By fatalist, I mean whatever will happen will happen.

However, I am also an optimist. Whatever happens will ultimately be of value to me.

I’m a fatalist. Whomever controls the strings will not let any of us go. Walking away seems like a
false choice at this point.

It’s why I hope what Stephanie told me about Briarberg is true.

Get used to it @chelsea. It isn’t a question of allowing oneself to be vulnerable, it’s a fact of life.

Valuable insight @bcbishop and good question @chelsea

I’ll take it one step further, so as to make some enemies:

I don’t think @meghanmayhem knows what they were celebrating because I don’t think @111error knows what they were celebrating. Our dear friend Morgan has not shown himself to be either much of a strategist or operationally adept.…[Read more]

@bcbishop and @bruinbown I disagree philosophically. There are multitudes of moral absolutes. Murder is wrong. Theft is wrong. Etc etc and many etc.

Our sense of right and wrong comes from Natural Law. There is right and wrong and there are absolutes.

Of course some jackass would say, “is it okay if a man steals to feed his starving family”?…[Read more]

Much of the surrealist work has been paired with quotes about how man sees himself, such as a quote from Noah about how his achievements do not have value judgments attached to them, how ones talents cannot be discovered by oneself.

Surrealism, according to research, was intended to liberate the imagination.

For whatever reason, all
This strikes…[Read more]

December 14, 18 and 22 hath significance in the Egyptian calendar:

Yeah forget what I said up
There about “welcome back”.

Someone once said that pioneers get arrows in their backs.

@111error nobly and with good intent took on the role of pioneer. As much as I criticized him for being in over his head, I have always admired his dedication.

Perhaps he is tired of removing the arrows from his back.

As for who he can trust, it has never changed: The One.

“For the…[Read more]

I think this is to show that Briarberg will use the same “narrative” yet end up with different results that are more “palatable”.
