Do you remember a year ago when you thought humans were rational most of the time – let’s say 90% of the time – and irrational the rest of the time? That was how most people saw the world, and still do. But Trump is teaching you that you had it backwards. The truth is that humans are irrational 90% of the time. Hypnosis students learn on the first day of classes that humans are irrational. If you believe people are rational it interferes with the technique. Likewise, if you see voters as rational you’ll be a terrible politician. People are not wired to be rational. Our brains simply evolved to keep us alive. Brains did not evolve to give us truth. Brains merely give us movies in our minds that keeps us sane and motivated. But none of it is rational or true, except maybe sometimes by coincidence.
First UK astronaut [cosmonaut because she went up with those naughty Russians in the “cold war”] is taken gently over the jumps in a very recent UK psience radio broadcast http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07378cf#play
see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Sharman
From about 16.20 Helen Sharman talks about weightlessness and chundering in ‘space’, the zero G plane aka the ‘vomit comet’….
“with the best training and selection people still vomit in ‘space’, there’s not much we can do about that”
It made me think that not much is talked about vomiting in the ISS
Here’s how it’s done – apparently but not while one is wearing a gorilla suit or doing ‘experiments’. [Chris Hadfield , 2013]
The ur-puking episode is ascribed to Frank Borman, Apollo 8 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_8
“About an hour after starting his sleep shift, Borman requested clearance to take a Seconal sleeping pill. However, the pill had little effect. Borman eventually fell asleep but then awoke feeling ill. He vomited twice and had a bout of diarrhea that left the spacecraft full of small globules of vomit and feces that the crew cleaned up to the best of their ability. Borman initially decided that he did not want everyone to know about his medical problems, but Lovell and Anders wanted to inform Mission Control” …..allegedly.
How did they make the film Apollo 13 ‘so realistic’?
“these actors have surrounded themselves with the real astronauts that went into outer space in order to play these roles authentically” – Jim Grazer, producer [@4.20] LOL!
Meanwhile, back in the USSR [May 1991] Her parents, Sheffield couple John and Lyndis Sharman, watched the lift-off from an observation deck 800 yards from the launch pad.
“However many emotions there are, we have just been through them all,” said Mr Sharman, 51, who is assistant principal at Sheffield’s Stradbroke College.
Before the launch, they and their son, Richard, 15, and other daughter, Andrea, 25, had a few minutes alone with Helen at a building near the launch pad.
They’re not putting much effort into these lottery winner sims these days. No details at all – who would be stupid enough to drop even a dollar into this fake event?
A Mississauga woman has won what is being called “the largest jackpot ever in the history of Canadian lottery.”The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. says Zhe Wang held the single winning ticket for its $64 million jackpot.
“Although she has kept a low profile as far as possible, she would not hold any public news conference, but was happy to be photographed accepting the award in public.”
..
“Although Wang took the decision not to hold a press conference, the gaming company has disclosed photographs of her excitedly holding a large check.”
Very unlikely scenario. What point in being photographed and named, but otherwise staying mum? You get the sense that the Chinese journalist knows it’s all a scam.
The same news site is also noting that ethnic Chinese rarely win the Canadian lottery. Presumably because they rarely play it. Perhaps that was the objective of this fake win – to stimulate lottery sales among the Chinese?
27, 33 – and the police chief himself to conduct the newser! No details until tomorrow – give them time to polish the script.
A 27-year-old man is under arrest after two members of the Canadian Forces were attacked with a knife at a federal government building in North York on Monday afternoon.Around 3:30 p.m. at the Joseph Shepard Federal Building at 4900 Yonge St., just north of Sheppard Ave., a man walked into the building and began stabbing the uniformed officers.
I heard millennials are not eating breakfast cereal anymore – which is hitting Kellogg’s hard. Is this negative media story (from 2014?) being used for free advertising?
A criminal investigation is under way after a video surfaced online showing a man urinating on a Kellogg factory assembly line, the company said.
What ARE they upto “on” the ISS? It’s insane. Oh, they’re doing “science’, which is the whole purpose of this charade. Tim Peake reckons they “try and [sic] find better combustion techniques for ‘back ON EARTH’, again [sic] for cleaner engines, for more efficient er,er, erm, er er, sort of engine systems…” It’s hilarious. [from about 9.10]
Materials – Gorilla Suit, rugby ball, box of matches…
At 16.31 there is only a fraction of a second – an almost instantaneous response – between the UK TV talking head suggesting TP “let go” of the microphone and TP seen to be doing it.
Yet at 17.15 there is a gap of several seconds before he can answer the simple question as he grins inanely waiting for the question to “travel from earth into space”.
A strange episode.
This discrepancy in latency is another good giveaway of the hoax. If the “ISS” really was only 400km orbital height (maximum altitude) the latency should be less than in a phone call from London to Newcastle; i.e. an imperceptible delay.
Surprised that the Goldbug doesn’t say the Ted Cruz is really Ernest Angley. It’s hard to find any good footage of Angley, so this Bizarre skit will have to do.

Considering that all the participants were young , white , healthy males , the Asch experiment is hardly reflective of most peoples social circles . Asch is pure military propaganda .
