  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

BBC Radio 4 - The Coming Storm

America through the looking glass - enter a world where nothing is as it seems.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

"QAnon and the plot to break reality. A year on from the Capitol Insurrection in Washington DC on 6 January 2021, Gabriel Gatehouse journeys into the dark undergrowth of modern America. He's looking for the origins of the story that drove the crowds to storm the heart of US democracy. From conspiracy-soaked barrooms in 1990s Arkansas, via spies in hotel rooms in the shadow of the Kremlin, to anarchic chatrooms on the early internet, this is a search for the answer to one big question: did this just happen, or is somebody trying to break reality?"

Great idea for a thread Mike!
Joe Rogan with Russell Brand. Dude talks kind of fast sometimes, but speaks some interesting truths. Great episode.

The bit about Cobalt mining in Congo gave me a thought. We already live in the Cyberpunk world. We just happen to be the company drones.

If his thoughts about the consequences of technology are interesting you might want to read Technopoly by Neil Postman. It is a much deeper dive in to the same philosophical idea.

"If you've ever yelled at someone on social media about, say, cancel culture or mask-wearing, then you are a soldier in the culture wars - those everyday battles for dominance between conflicting values. The acclaimed writer and podcaster Jon Ronson has seen friends swallowed up in them to the extent that it's ruined their lives. Jon was curious to learn how things fell apart, and so he went back into the history of the culture wars to find some of the origin stories: the pebbles thrown in the pond, creating the ripples that led us to where we are today. He had no idea what he'd find, but he's uncovered some extraordinary people and the strangest, yet most consequential tales."

This episode gets deeply emotional. It is not easy to listen or watch when you hear the anger and pain in his voice talking about his first two deployments.
