Level: 6 CS Original | God, just listened in to Z-Radios show. Wanted to get some writing done before going to bed, and having people talk to me does in some counter-intuitive way raise my attention, but either I'm having a bad day or these people are trying to attract schoolchildren. "A RBE will be the use of the scientific method for social concern!" I asked them why they blame "planned obsolescence" on money, instead of profit or specific market failure and was bombarded with "We don't need money anymore!" and similar phrases, so I decided to leave and listen to Dan Pink's new book instead. I kinda feel like taking an anti-cult shower now. Ex-members, do you remember TZM as being always this cheesy? Or did they change their target audience to people who're too young to have any money? | |||||

I remember them always being like that. They never get into specifics and have a huge tendency to sidestep your probing questions with more rhetoric about why change needs to happen. And they seem to think rhetoric is a suitable substitute for evidence. And they also probably don't understand what rhetoric means. | |||||

I can't stop posting pictures of poop, what the fuck is wrong with me? Level: 5 CS Original | @CyborgJesus For me it was at times mostly about 9/11 which TZM was my first real introduction into conspiracy theory land and after 30 minutes of listening to it I began to cover my ears to the BS. A lot of the time it be this guy called paradigm preaching about 9/11 to such an extent that one could swear by his speech he would give that he was there at 9/11 when it happened, that he knows the truth, that he is the ultimate authority... Ironically Paradigms ego and ignorance isn't as big compared to Peter Joseph Merola. As far as money I had mentioned that money is a good thing within the times I was within the Ohio chapter to which it was like preaching to the wolves and I merely identified myself as a supported to the evil monetary system, and in some ways as a TZMer would look at it not a supporter to RBE and ultimately "Not a supporter of the movement!" (which is true but I never said I wasn't to those people back then). I thought about it many times to just blantly come out and say RBE is full of shit but I suppose I never came around to it mainly because I think i didn't know enough about it or I without I didn't know enough about it but really I did even back then it's BS. We did have just about everybody say money is evil and they gave the same looped speechs in the Zeitgeist movies without doing any really research outside of the Zeitgeist movie and when you really have them as far as logic and reason they like to do what i would call the pan out affect and no longer talk about the problems which are obvious and ohh yes that I pose will fall upon their little mythological science fiction wonderland; they begin panning out no longer talking about the problems posed and talk about how bad the world at which the people telling me how bad the world is do not have a solution. if one doesn't have a solution and preaches how bad the world is then I preach to the preacher about how annoying they are and how they do nothing but bitch instead of being the change you want to see in this world... I remember the problems that came about when i said the venus project is a utopia. What will give people the purpose to progress... I was yet again hit with so called stoppers... For example we can't do anything until the economy collapse and that will happen in 3 4 10 20 40 50 100 years now or more! We need to gain critical mass at which no one can give a number I've heard 50 million being critical mass, so others think 100 million and even further critical mass would be billions... Their so stupid I'm sure if Matt was here he would be able to sum everything up into a hilarious sentence or two... | |||||

Level: 0 CS Original | Amusingly, as TZM went out of its way to say money is bad, I studied the subject more and found out it was more useful than I thought it was to start with! So, I have them to thank for turning me more money focused than ever before.. | |||||
