Hollow Earth?

Posted by Chinaski (here)

we have threads here about other-dimensional parasitic aliens that go on for miles - not very scientific! I could make a better case for the 'hollow earth' than anybody here could make for the 'archons'. easy! i'm not saying they don't exist - they just might! but the whole concept sounds kinda flaky. and so does the 'hollow earth'!

There is something very wrong when you start to compare science with FIRST HAND experiences that some Avalon users had with evil entities. Don't go there please!

Second , when you post from a computer you have to understand how cool modern science is . Not perfect ...just very interesting.

Third, Jessica Schab is cute and everything she can say whatever she wants

I notice that no-one's commented on the joke at the foot of my post #76.

Not a good sign!

One of the problems with the world is that there are too many people of below average intelligence.

Doing an impression of the 'elite' attitude that we're all useless eaters?

I agree with Chinaski anyways, whatever the joke is, it's veeery subtle...

a joke? you don't have much of a future in stand up, Bill. no offense.

alright, I give up: please tell us why we're all idiots for not having grasped the subtle humor here.

I'll take a stab at it...

Because if "too many people" are "below average", then you would have to come up with a new, lower average, because we're talking about everyone on the planet.

Did I get that right Bill?


Soooo... back on topic....

I would think that if the earth was hollow and had openings at the poles, then whatever causes this phenomenon would also appear on the other planets, and I don't think NASA would be able to photoshop every amateur photo ever taken of the other planets and moons in our solar system...

... or maybe we're just special... like the Bible says in over a hundred places, that the earth cannot be budged while the sun moon and stars go around it every 24 hours....

Yes, there are Bible-thumping lunatics out there with websites that actually still believe this...

I'd love to see that!! (archon pun) I have never seen the inside of the earth, but I have been witness to these parasitic multidimensional vampires!!! I do not know about a hollow earth,,,, I guess I will see it when I believe it. (I could make a better argument for a hollow earth too, but it would just be an argument.) Everyone has to follow their passions. Chanaski, I am not disagreeing with you, (I don't think.. )

Ignorance is bliss.

Bill I have noticed an abundance of this aswell, in a general sense, in everyday life. Its confusing to me how we can exist at this time when we're afforded this amazing luxury of having an immense and amazing wealth of information at most anyones fingertips and people remain so ignorant. I've noticed people assuming things make sense without any drive to further understand the things they wonder and/or think about. I've had people argue with me that the freezing point of water is 36, genuinely argue. Knowledge is paramount, without more of us finding motivation to learn and understand anything we contemplate we're all f**ked.

Gravity is manifested by the curvature of spacetime via mass. It is far more documented/studied/experimented/observed/thought about then any proposition involving a hollow earth.

Delete because I'm guessing it went too far. My apologies if that's the case.

Well.. Commenting on that joke has several options of how I might end up ridiculing myself - looking like I lack some of the necessary native americans paddling my canoe, if you know what I mean.. In other words I suppose that I belong in that gaussian curve peak that defies statistics by being displaced and I don't get it. Either way I'm right(or wrong).

Regarding the gravity-thingie: Nassim Haramein is building up his interpretation of gravity - as best I can recall - as energy pouring toward the center of the Mass of a planet for example and it creates mass as a person is proverbially standing under this "waterfall" of energy. So his idea is that nothing pulls and creates gravity in the traditional sense but energy is waterfall-likely pouring in. Perhaps this difference of perspective has been confusing if listened to?

Mr Jake! I don't doubt your experiences for one second brother. or anyone else's here. maybe I used a bad example

p.s. I was secretly hoping no one would call me out on that, ha! can you imagine if this thread degenerates into an archon vs hollow earth thing? actually, might be pretty entertaining!

alright, I give up: please tell us why we're all idiots for not having grasped the subtle humor here.

You can't have too many people of below average anything. Average is average. 50% above, 50% below.

It's a self-referential joke because most people read it and then nod sagely and agree. But the statement is deliberately meaningless. The joke is on the people who think the statement means something. And because the apparent meaning of the joke is that too many people are unintelligent, the joke makes its own point.

It seemed pertinent to this thread.

it seems pertinent to a lot of threads! but ok...fair enough.

new rule: all jokes, terrible or otherwise, must be culminated within a reasonable amount of time...say 5 minutes.

Brace yourself, Mike. Tasteless timing under 5 minutes.... Just poke-poking with love.

Does that mean 5 minutes from when I wake up and catch up on the thread, or 5 minutes from when one posted the evening before?

The vid fits the vibes right now. No reflection on your post.

Billy Madison - Ultimate Insult (Academic Decathlon)

Paula, I think that Billy Madison quote is the best, but probably would have been most appropriate after my original post, ha but then again, I did spend half the post declaring my stupidity and gullibility to the entire forum, didn't I? wouldn't have had the same effect. Curt used it once, and it followed a really self-righteous post, and the effect was devastating! I believe I actually stood up and applauded it...

Now perhaps you can see more why, Chinaski, I thought it was necessary to start the Through the Looking Glass group, which was devoted to jokes, friendly insults, satire and general tomfollery, with the emphasis on irreverence, with side notes on metaphysics, ufology, high strangeness, etc. only the backdrop.
(Aside from what I felt to be necessity for protection purposes, since there seemed to be a lot of outside attacks incoming to Avalon at the time.)
We need an outlet on Avalon for the tension that mounts when scientifically oriented and non-scientifically oriented people try to discuss these subjects that even science and certainly experiencers can't really prove.
We are a diverse bunch of people here on Avalon but I think it's a good sign when Bill Ryan's posts as much as anyone else's are subject to being ignored and even insulted.
But on with the show! I like where this is going...

Not much I can do if I'm ignored. But if I'm insulted, I can usually do better.

My favorite insults are those of Winston Churchill, whose wit could be devastating. My favorite of the favorites (which some here will surely know):

British politician Bessie Braddock encountered an intoxicated Churchill, and said: “Sir, you are drunk.”

Churchill replied: "And you, Madam, are ugly. But I shall be sober in the morning."

I'm listeninng to the Coast to Coast Hollow Earth show. It was recorded in 2006. Has anyone heard if it went ahead and if it did what were the findings?




PS had a look for a website. Found this

So fitting , referring to all of the 3 posts on this page . Bill Ryan : ''Not much I can do if I'm ignored '' .

But Bill.. you aren't ignored and doubt you ever were . It may have something to do with healthy upbringing and character and talent .. for not being ignored .

I opened a thread posted by Target, minutes ago that 's about 'Secret Introverts' . It's not even a secret . I've always been 'that' since about age of 5 . Being shy and thinking of my faults all the time, which has partially , certainly been caused by family settings . For whatever extra abilities I had, someone has always produced extra effort to take me down . Mum a psychologist worked on that issue everyday .
Till this day I feel sorry for her , for not having one average kid instead of me .

So many times , I wished to find a collective where I'd fit in just like others do . It never worked .

The thing with insults is still worse . They hurt straight . It's like, my heart gets a shock . Stomach upside down . The only defence I found is that I start laughing straight away and enjoy the others theatre .

Communication with others over the internet can really feel like a thriller . More rare is the element , less bonds ..

@ Agape -- no worries! I'm teasing everyone here. It's a silly thread, anyway, in my opinion, so my disruptive strategy now is to swamp it with jokes.



* Here's another joke for intellectuals, which is my favorite of all:

Did you hear about the agnostic, insomniac, dyslexic, who couldn't sleep because he was worrying about whether there was a dog?

hey Nat,

maybe you're right, but I see no reason why we can't sprinkle a bit of that attitude around the general forum!

when I was a kid growing up, my brother and I were kind of opposites. we didn't speak much. I wound up sharing a place with him when I was in my mid-20's, and at first we were excessively polite. like strangers. then there was an argument of some sort (over dishes, I think) and it all came pouring out. after that we developed a kind of shorthand ("do the dishes idiot, it's your turn"), became much more comfortable with each other, and could speak bluntly and humorously without the other being offended.

I know that temperaments vary dramatically here, and not everyone is like me or you, but I like dishing out zingers... and I like zingers being sent my way too! as long as it's not sinister, I guess you could say I enjoy being insulted, ha! it can be kinda fun going back n forth, and in many ways the type of communication you described above, and i'm describing here, is a much more healthy form of correspondence. it's more *honest*. you may say more in 10 minutes than you would have said in a year otherwise. so, I think i'm always subconsciously (or maybe consciously) seeking out that shorthand with members on the forum I like most. in other words, if I've insulted you (innocently) or perhaps made a joke at your expense, chances are I like you a great deal and likely have a high level of respect for you! because I know you can handle it and give it right back to me!

i've done my share of jumping on a thread and basically declaring it stupid, so if Bill or anyone else wants to declare this one stupid I have absolutely no problem with it. in fact, I welcome it! I will not take offense. because look, it may very well be a stupid thread! regardless, I think it's a fun topic.
