Atheists don’t read the bible. Christians don’t do it either.

1. Yes, atheists are reading avoidant. Proud in non-reading. Anti-comprehend mindsets.

2. Yes, Christians have a literacy crisis too. Anti-understanding.

That’s the entire point of this posting. Commenting literacy crisis.

Literacy media crisis

“Half the people in the world think that the metaphors of their religious traditions, for example, are facts. And the other half contends that they are not facts at all. As a result we have people who consider themselves believers because they accept metaphors as facts, and we have others who classify themselves as atheists because they think religious metaphors are lies.” ― Joseph Campbell, Thou Art That: Transforming Religious Metaphor

It’s because the Bible also tells you to stone women

yes, this is common in science fiction storytelling to have bad ideas.

Literacy

Do you avoid teaching Star Wars literacy because Darth Vader kills entire planets with the Death Star?

So many confused atheists who can’t grasp literacy of media that is raging crisis of MAGA USA 2026. Attraction to badness in all media systems.

You might as well talk about quoting harry potter at people for all the good it’ll do.

Yha, the literacy crisis is also Harry Potter books. Do you somehow think the Bible is a magical book?

They can’t read Lord of the Rings correctly either. Elon Musk has demonstrated this.

You seem like you value Elon Musk literacy.

Why the fuck would I bother quoting something I have zero interest in?

If you have zero interest in it, why did you reply comment on Lemmy with your raging? You sound like you are abused by Rupert Murdoch, Elon Musk, Donald Trurmp and in denial of your suffering at trillionaire wealth systems.

Boot licker? Anti-literacy anti-educaiton?

These people have a raging literacy problem and can not comprehend science fiction storytelling reading. It is wrecking the entire world that they can not read books properly. It isn’t only this one 2,000 year old book that the reading literacy comprehension crisis is about. They can’t read many critical and important books with proper understanding. They are shit-reading shit-commenting shit-posting addicts lead by Twitter media Elon Musk and Truth Social shit-platforms.

geez are they back to this.

Yes. Trying to appeal to Red Lobster all you can eat buffet society.

Cuba also seems to be back on the table. Canada they are making trade deals favorable to people supporting USA domination.

yeah, that’s not how you get people convinced trump is bad

Yes. Doctor Bandy X Lee nonfiction science book education for the general public.

The brain rot of USA is horrible. Apps have wrecked the mindsets of the nation. And Doctor Bandy X Lee’s books printed on paper can hopefully wake people to their own addiction to self-harm leadership.

Alas, all We The People crave now is mocking into the total mockery that entertainer celebrity actor President Tony Clifton character creates. Addicts to dumb-shit on meme apps like Bluesky, Reddit, Lemmy, Truth Social, Twitter can never get enough of Trump’s NYC Andy Kaufman characters. Ultra-dumb memes and Truth Social content dumb-shit is all people desire. Nonfiction serious books from Doctor Bandy X. Lee are avoided as “nerdy, intelligent, woman”.

“When NPD and psychopathy combine, they form a pattern of behavior called malignant narcissism. This isn’t a diagnosis, but a term coined by psychoanalyst Erich Fromm and elaborated on by personality disorder expert, Otto Kernberg, to describe people so driven by feeling special that they essentially see other people as pawns in their game of kill or be killed, whether metaphorically or literally. Hitler, who murdered millions, Kim Jong-un, who’s suspected of ordering his uncle’s and brother-in-law’s deaths, and Vladimir Putin, who jokes about “liquidating journalists” — no doubt all fall in the category of malignant narcissist (among possessing other pernicious traits, like sadism, or delight in hurting others).” ― Bandy X Lee, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President.

get people convinced trump is bad

Trump was always bad. Donald Trump was a bad leader in year 1985. Donald Trump was a bad leader in year 1995. Donald Trump was a bad leader in year 2005. Then the Apple iPhone 1 went on sale in year 2007. Then on July 6, 2011 Twitter-think one-line dumb-shit shit-postings and shit-commenting took over the hearts and minds of the United States of America We The People. Ever since July 6, 2011 dumb-shit Donald Trump content creator (President Tony Clifton SNL NYC character) became awesome hot cool meme content for brain rot Twitter app users. https://theoutline.com/post/2445/trump-s-first-real-tweet-was-on-july-6-2011

get people convinced trump is bad

Ever since July 6, 2011 - Twitter brain-rot convinced people badness of Trump was attractive. “convinced trump is bad” - people via Tweets are convinced bad is best!

You misunderstand what makes for effective propaganda and what makes for preaching to the choir.

I understand perfectly. What’s popular is entertainers. “The Apprentice” television stars, Fox News entertainers running the Pentagon. Clowns are popular. Doctor Bandy X Lee is avoided by Lemmy and Mastodon users because people have abandoned nonfiction serious books on paper in favor of one-line shit-postings and shit-commenting like Truth Social and Lemmy users do. Dumb-shit is popular, high-speed antics from Donald Trump creates engagement mocking. Doctor Bandy X Lee is a smart leader that is relevant and avoided.

Neil Postman 1985

“For all his perspicacity, George Orwell would have been stymied by this situation; there is nothing “Orwellian” about it. The President does not have the press under his thumb. The New York Times and The Washington Post are not Pravda; the Associated Press is not Tass. And there is no Newspeak here. Lies have not been defined as truth nor truth as lies. All that has happened is that the public has adjusted to incoherence and been amused into indifference. Which is why Aldous Huxley would not in the least be surprised by the story. Indeed, he prophesied its coming. He believed that it is far more likely that the Western democracies will dance and dream themselves into oblivion than march into it, single file and manacled. Huxley grasped, as Orwell did not, that it is not necessary to conceal anything from a public insensible to contradiction and narcoticized by technological diversions. Although Huxley did not specify that television would be our main line to the drug, he would have no difficulty accepting Robert MacNeil’s observation that “Television is the soma of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World.” Big Brother turns out to be Howdy Doody.” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, year 1985, page 111

• “Howdy Doody is an American children’s television program (with circus and Western frontier themes) that was created and produced by Victor F. Campbell and E. Roger Muir. It was broadcast on the NBC television network in the United States from December 27, 1947, until September 24, 1960.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howdy_Doody

Trump plays Tony Clifton

Trump as entertainment, Howdy Doody. Tony Clifton acts entertain EVERYONE who mocks and joins the total mockery. Mocking is not resisting Trump. Mocking Trump is joining MAGA values. Mocking into a mockery of MAGA. Media addiction itself is MAGA Trump.

so what are you trying to say?

I’m saying We The People are so brain-rot we don’t even notice that New York City politicians are avoiding New York City Dr. Bandy X Lee since year 2017.

I’m saying people have abandoned nonfiction relevant serious books printed on paper. And people are incredibly defense about it instead of seeing how 3.5 second shit-commenting and shit-posting has wrecked the USA. And New York City Fox News, Rupert Murdoch media mindsets have had enormous influence into prizing ignorance.

Celebration of Ignorance

“Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking. I have a (year 1995) foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance. As I write, the number-one videocassette rental in America is the movie Dumb and Dumber. “Beavis and Butthead” remain popular (and influential) with young TV viewers. The plain lesson is that study and learning — not just of science, but of anything — are avoidable, even undesirable.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995, page 59

Nation of Suckers

“Finding the occasional straw of truth awash in a great ocean of confusion and bamboozle requires vigilance, dedication and courage. But if we don’t practice these tough habits of thought, we cannot hope to solve the truly serious problems that face us and we risk becoming a nation of suckers” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, year 1995, page 38

Zohran Mamdani sharply criticizes Democratic Party

I criticize all of them, and all the people who have any access to social media since year 2017.

New York City people

1. Zohran Mamdani … New York City

2. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (“AOC”) … New York City

3. All NYC politicians not using social media in the face of NYC Donald Trump to address the mental health crisis.

4. New York City born Doctor Bandy X. Lee published a book October 3, 2017 that Zohran Mamdani and AOC are not aggressively promoting and quoting.

Even the nation of Iran could be using world wide social media and Iran state media to quote and repeat Dr. Bandy X Lee’s nonfiction serious book! Alas, they post anti-intellectual Legos videos, AI slop. Dumb shit.

October 3, 2017 book

“The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump is a 2017 book edited by Bandy X. Lee, a forensic psychiatrist, containing essays by 27 psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals describing the “clear and present danger” that US President Donald Trump’s mental health poses to the “nation and individual well being”. A second edition updated and expanded the book with additional essays. Lee maintains that the book remains strictly a public service, and all royalties were donated to the public good to remove any conflict of interest.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dangerous_Case_of_Donald_Trump

Instead, we get dumb-shit memes that play right into the fiction world driven by Fox News New York City media. Rupert Murdoch fiction dominates over the 27 leaders New Yorker Doctor Bandy X Lee assembled in year 2017! Trump and Murdoch promote ignorance from NYC and nobody is standing up to the brain rot crisis, anti-intellectual social media shit-posting that avoids Dr. Lee’s intelligent leadership.

I think the fault here is entirely misplaced.

It is the prizing of low-effort Twitter 140 character, 3.5 second media that Carl Sagan described as the crisis in year 1995:

Celebration of Ignorance

The more precise language should be used by professionals, and not just in one little known book, but every day, in every possible outlet.

It isn’t the language, it is the attraction to extreme low-effort commenting. Millions of comments all on different Lemmu and Reddit postings instead of getting on the same page at the same time. It is the fragmentation and clowning that normalizes the situation instead of taking it seriously.

decide to give up power because people are angry.

People think being angry isn’t intentional. Repeating what I said: “social media society should cut out all entertainment consumption”

You are all being played. You are dealing with fiction, war against reality itself that started in late 2012, early 2013. This isn’t 1930’s Germany. Everything is media ecology.

You are so eager to oil and clean and stroke your guns that you aren’t using social media to deal with a war that started on social media in March 2013. You already know that Fox News viewers live in alternate reality, that Elon Musk Twitter consumers live in alternate reality, guns are not going to fix that. Have you learned nothing since the February 2014 invasion of Ukraine? The whole world needs to put down the absurd surreal Donald Trump amusement memes and sober up and assert fact, truth, reality and cult deprogram every member of MAGA. Terrorism comes from people who believe Heaven is a real place after death, MAGA believes in Heaven, you have to cult deprogram this or you get suicide bombers who think they are serving Jesus Trump. You have to stand up for science and real world. Guns do not fix Fox News, if you go blow up the office of Fox News, you will only make their fiction more popular. Fiction itself has to be addressed directly.

You aren’t learning about alternate reality and the history of alternate reality warfare. You think a real gun loaded with gunpowder and bullets is going to work in “The Matrix” of fiction anti-reality social media of Donald Trump White House. By not learning and studying information warfare, you have let this go on for over a decade, stroking your gun.

decide to give up power because people are angry.

We The People already gave up power, intellectual power / mental power - it already happened since March 2013 by not taking information war seriously. Repeating… People think being angry isn’t intentional. Repeating what I said: “social media society should cut out all entertainment consumption”

2019:
"What Cambridge Analytica observed was that when respondents were angry, their need for complete and rational explanations was also significantly reduced. In particular, anger put people in a frame of mind in which they were more indiscriminately punitive, particularly to out-groups. They would also underestimate the risk of negative outcomes. This led Cambridge Analytica to discover that even if a hypothetical trade war with China or Mexico meant the loss of American jobs and profits, people primed with anger would tolerate that domestic economic damage if it meant they could use a trade war to punish immigrant groups and urban liberals.” ― Christopher Wylie, Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America, year 2019

“The display, which was called ‘Can Democracy Survive the Internet?’ was dedicated to a ‘global election management’ company called Cambridge Analytica. Cambridge Analytica claimed to have gathered 5,000 data points on every American voter online: what you liked and what you shared on social media; how and where you shopped; who your friends were… They claimed to be able to take this imprint of your online self, use it to understand your deepest drives and desires, and then draw on that analysis to change your voting behaviour. The boast seemed to be backed up by success: Cambridge Analytica had worked on the victorious American presidential campaign of Donald Trump; it had also run successful campaigns for US Senator Ted Cruz (twice); and others all across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, This Is Not Propaganda: Adventures in the War Against Reality, 2019

This is not just a story about social psychology and data analytics. It has to be understood in terms of a military contractor using military strategies on a civilian population. Us. David Miller, a professor of sociology at Bath University and an authority in psyops and propaganda, says it is “an extraordinary scandal that this should be anywhere near a democracy. It should be clear to voters where information is coming from, and if it’s not transparent or open where it’s coming from, it raises the question of whether we are actually living in a democracy or not.”

Paul and David, another ex-Cambridge Analytica employee, were working at the firm when it introduced mass data-harvesting to its psychological warfare techniques. “It brought psychology, propaganda and technology together in this powerful new way,” David tells me.

В чем заключалась наша идея с Дональдом Трампом?

За четыре года и два дня… необходимо было пробраться ко всем в мозг и захватить все возможные средства массового восприятия действительности. Обеспечить победу Дональда на выборах президента США. После чего создать политический союз между Соединенными Штатами, Францией, Россией (и ещё рядом других государств) и установить новый мировой порядок.

Четыре года и два дня - это с одной стороны очень большой срок, а с другой очень маленький. Наша идея была безумна, но реализуема.

Для того, чтобы в этом во всем разобраться для начала нужно было “оцифровать” все возможные виды современного человека.

Дональд решил пригласить для этой задачи - специальный научный отдел “Кембриджского университета”. Британские учёные из Cambridge Analytica предложили сделать из 5 тысяч существующих человеческих психотипов - “идеальный образ” возможного сторонника Трампа. Затем… положить этот образ обратно на всё психотипы и таким образом подобрать универсальный ключик к любому и каждому.

Разработка в итоге обошлась Дональду Фредовичу в 5 миллионов долларов. Но! Он получил в свои руки - секретное супер-оружие.

Кто занимался таргетированной рекламой… поймёт, что это значит.

Помните, сколько всего денег потратили фонды Клинтон и “их сторонники” на кампанию по всему миру? В 5 раз больше, чем Трамп.

Зато, кто вложил в сетевое продвижение в 5 раз больше Хиллари и стал президентом? Тоже Дональд Трамп.

Дальше оставалось только загрузить эти данные в информационные потоки и социальные сети. И мы стали искать тех, кто справился бы с этой задачей лучше других.

В самом начале смельчаков и романтиков было не очень много. Пара хакерских группировок, гражданские журналисты из Викиликс и политический стратег Михаил Ковалев.

Следующим шагом необходимо было разработать систему передачи задач и информации, чтобы никакая гэбуха и АНБ не смогли её спалить.

Как сделать так, чтобы даже люди не говорящие на языке друг друга, могли бы обмениваться информацией быстрее всех, понимать друг друга с полуслова, чувствовать тренды и влиять на их развитие?

На программирование такой системы ушёл примерно год. Ещё год ушёл на тесты и доработку. В итоге. За год с небольшим, мы установили “Медиафильтр” всем, кого успели подтянуть в наш заговор и 18 августа 2015 года открыли портал Трамп-2016.

Even as Marine Corps recruiters promote enlistment as protection for families lacking legal status, directives for strict immigrant enforcement have cast away practices of deference previously afforded to military families, immigration law experts say. The federal agency tasked with helping military family members gain legal status now refers them for deportation, government memos show.

This has all reached a point where social media society should cut out all entertainment consumption and have a protest hashtag / trending topic on every media platform every 12 hours. “MAGA is a mistake, please resign Donald Trump and JD Vance”.
