Do some people argue about things purely for the attention? Even on topics as important as War and History? Is it possible that anybody has ever weighed the entire earth with heavy balls in a shed, and if not, why was JLB the first person in all of recorded history to point this out? Is the progress of technology something to worry about, or are TV shows like ‘Black Mirror’ sending people down the wrong path?

It is like being involved in a small-scale soap opera with a minuscule world-wide audience and few real fans.

Is the internet something very different to what most of us seem to believe? Are websites stored on physical servers or is there something else going on? Where does ‘technology’ come from?

This was supposed to be a trial run of the new platform (Discord) and the new recording software (Craig bot). Knightly News and I had set aside our Saturday evening for a call to test out the new tech.

Several years ago, however, Markus suddenly stopped podcasting. That was it. He was out of the game.

On 8-Jul-2018, Ab/Tim from Fakeologist.com interviewed Simon Shack, Hoi Polloi and K-Ham from CluesForum about their recently-released book, entitled 'The TYCHOS', which is focused on an alternative cosmological system.
This post is primarily intended to share the notes I took while listening to that call.

I never meant to make anybody sad. I just don’t necessarily believe in ‘history’, that’s all. As the world’s leading skeptic, it is my job to ask questions. After all, somebody has to do it. If it were up to me, we would all be friends 🙂

What really happened on 9/11, and what was the motivation or intent of those who were responsible for it? Are the wars on our telescreens 'real'? How about the evil villains like Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden: are these 'real' people, or just characters in a made-for-TV narrative? Just how far does media fakery go?
