>Have you ever experienced something paranormal? What was it like?
i've always had little random experiences like weird dreams that came true, knowing things before they happened, seeing stuff out of the corner of my eye, but it wasn't until my mom died last year that i really could believe with confidence that ghosts are real. when she first died, i would hear her voice calling my name, like at her funeral just before they lowered her coffin into the grave, i heard her call me by my nickname. then the day after when i was getting ready i heard her say, "i'm right here!". it was so loud and clear that i ran out into the hallway expecting her to be there but she wasn't. i also remember when i first moved into my new apartment, the photograph i had of her and i when i was about a year old kept getting knocked over every morning. i would wake up and it would be turned over or askew. i even told my aunt, "mom keeps knocking over her photo!". then i heard the sound her old chair at the family home used to make when she would sit down, but i don't have that chair anymore because i moved. however it was the same exact sound, right down to the metal clank from the base of the chair to the roll of the wheel. the chair i have doesn't make that sound.
then i would sometimes see her in my mind, like i would have these "visions" where i would see her following me around or sitting next to me, like in church or when i went to the mall to get out of the house, i saw her sitting down right across from me when i was having lunch in the food court. or the time i went to see her body before the funeral and i saw her walking behind me and she looked so sad. when we were picking out her coffin i distinctly remember a vision of her telling me "NO PINK!", as she specifically asked for gray and my grandfather was trying to ignore her wishes. so i told the attendant, "mom just told me she doesn't want pink...", because i could literally SEE her telling me that.
i also remember my dad and i had gotten into a stupid argument as we were both stressed out and when i started crying, this bright, glowing white human shaped thing walked right through me and it was HOT. not cold like you hear a lot of ghost experiences, but hot. like a warm breeze. i was so startled even my dad noticed. oddly enough he calmed down after that. so yes, i do believe ghosts are real. death doesn't destroy the fact you loved someone in this life, or in any other.
>What paranormal phenomenon do you believe in? Are there any that you don't believe in?
ghosts, deja-vu, precognition, telekenesis, i believe in a lot of it, i just don't think it happens the way people want to think it does so that's why a lot of normies are skeptical. but for instance when someone says an object moved and they don't know how it happened, i think that's a form of telekenesis. we just want to think when we "move" an object with our mind that we'll see it floating in front of us or like in the matrix, bending a spoon. something dramatic. it's a lot more subtle.
>What tinfoil theory do you believe in? Why?
i believe in the fourth industrial revolution/great reset/ai revolution/aquarian age theory because is it really even a conspiracy at this point? i really do believe ai is going to dramatically upend the world and society as we know it and while i am not sure how long it will be take, i don't believe it's something people should underestimate. i feel like the mainstream media still downplays ai, like if you watch the news they act like ai is overhyped and oh it's just a chatbot when if you actually look at research papers or specialized media, it's becoming the silent infrastructure of the world. they only pay attention to companies like palantir now because of their politics, not because they genuinely give a shit about immigrants or the surveillance state. i mean two years ago if you said anything about facial recognition software or data-scraping software, these people would laugh at you and call you all kinds of names.
and it just makes sense - it's all about efficiency and humans are inefficient. i won't lie - if i was a business owner and i wanted to increase productivity, i would definitely buy a robot versus hiring a human to do work for me, because robots don't stab you in the back, envy you for being successful, steal your ideas, or call in sick every 15 minutes. and i think the whole reason why this is downplayed is because a lot of white collar jobs are going to be the first to go, like coding, programming, doctors, lawyers, even pilots. you can already find videos online of all the salty coders getting booted from apple and google and while it's kind of funny to me because these people were the assholes who used to brag about "working in tech", it's a big sign of what's coming down the pipeline. my suggestion to everyone is to start investing in these companies before it's too late unless you want to be on ubi.
>Are there any tinfoil theories that you really disagree with? Why?
the usual and really obvious ones like q anon. total psyslop designed for normies to think they "know something". real conspiracies are messy, convoluted, confusing, and often hard to explain or pin down accurately because the information itself is convoluted, messy, confusing, and hard to explain. that's why it's a conspiracy. any time you see a centralized theory where there's a clear x, y, and z with a clearly defined end goal, it's manufactured bullshit. there may be elements of truth to it but you have to know how to separate the spin from the truth and a lot of people can't do that.
>What's something that scares you for no real reason?
it's lame but sometimes it scares me how trusting a lot of people are in the "system", even though if you really push them they admit they know that the "system" sucks. they know the government lies. they know weird things happen. but they still drink the kool-aid. i don't ever want to lie to myself like that or just go along to get along because it's easier to be mediocre than be an individual and figure things out for yourself.
