Smile!

November 2, 2024 Radagast Uncategorized 34

So there’s this movie you guys should watch. It’s about a kind of demonic force that invades people’s brains and causes them to have terrifying hallucinations before they die, at which point it jumps into someone else. The move is called Smile. You should probably first watch the first one.

Then, you should go to the cinema and watch the second one on a decent screen, with decent audio, in a genuinely dark room. Cinemas are a good thing, like shopping malls, you’ll miss them once they’re gone. In the second movie, it finds its way into a famous pop star.

Smile 2 is the very rare example, of a sequel that’s better than the original movie. That’s not just me saying it, that’s the general consensus. The reviews are positive, but they’re honestly underrating it. I’m pretty critical of movies, I’m not easily entertained anymore, but this is really good.

Or you don’t have to watch the movie. You can just get infected by the “bird” flu, which is a really funny name for polybasic cleavage site influenza, capable of using enzymes produced by your own body to infect the endothelial cells that line the blood vessels in your brain, something no other influenza can do, not even the 1918 pandemic one.

I could sperg about this one simple fact alone for a whole century. They call it “bird flu”. The virologists are scared of it. But they never tell you why they’re scared of it. It’s like climate change: They undersell it. They err on the side of least drama. There’s not a single one of these people, willing to publicly on TV say what their own studies show: The polybasic cleavage site changes the whole behavior of the virus. The polybasic cleavage site only emerges under two conditions: Factory farms and cell cultures in labs. When they call it bird flu, Joe sixpack thinks it’s something natural. It’s not something natural.

Get yourselves some popcorn, the show is about to begin

But anyway, I just felt like you guys might like a documentary first, before headfirst jumping into the real thing. Our world is going to get increasingly more horrifying as time progresses, so I recommend you all to learn to enjoy the terror, otherwise you’ll find yourself running out of the door before the show is over, or you’ll sit with your hands before your eyes in some villa and pretend none of it is happening. I’d rather have you join me in watching the spectacle unfold.

Now repeat after me:

EW ES AAY EW ES AAY EW ES AAY BLAAARGGHHH!!!

  1. Hey Rintrah.

    I have nothing of substantive to add but I would like to say thank you for all of your time to share your thoughts and to dumb down the scientific literature for us. Your angle is very refreshing and informative.

    Enjoy the weekend.

  2. I never really liked horror movies personally but I also have trouble with this notion of enjoying the ongoing suffering and destruction of everything I’ve ever known in this life, like a spectacle. I understand this from the perspective of like, detaching from it so that you don’t suffer too much yourself but like, I don’t think I would even want to be the kind of person who could genuinely enjoy witnessing the destruction of the whole planet, even if there wasn’t much left going on that was worth saving anymore. It’s like if someone you loved was dying of cancer and you were like, ‘I’d better learn to enjoy watching this happen’ you know?

    • To add to this I’d argue we should still try to do the right thing and make things better in our local area and in our personal lives, even if it means nothing or makes no lasting difference from the perspective of this civilization or from that of the material world. I think there’s intrinsic value in that kind of thing and there’s inherent beauty in fighting for what you genuinely believe in even if nobody else joins in or agrees with you, really. And I’d also add that treating the bad things going on wrt to the destruction of the planet and most life on earth like a spectacle to be enjoyed, places someone into a situation that’s not much different from that of a voyeur watching and enjoying a pornographic snuff film, it’s just like, probably not spiritually where you would want to be in this circumstance you know?

      • Rintrah is making things better in the way he can, by describing what is happening. Some people have some abilities; some have others. He’s not going to make my 100 year old father in law’s lunch, and I’m not going to be able to comb through studies to come up with an understanding (let alone share it) of covid and avian flu. If he has to step back to do it maybe he has to. I can’t bear even thinking about factory farms and lab animals; if I had to deal with them or write about them I would have to come up with some way of stepping back, maybe even brutal humor, it is possible.

  4. Wow, from that California H5 wastewater chart you displayed, it seems we are now on the “vertical” part of the exponential curve. Oh shit indeed.

    Thanks for the film suggestion. I listened to a radio interview recently where they were discussing a scientific study which attempted to empirically determine the scariest movie. Basically, they took a bunch of volunteers, hooked them up to heart rate monitors, and had them watch a bunch of horror movies. The higher the heart rate, the scarier the movie. They then ranked the 20 scariest movies. In first place, the “scariest movie” according to this study, was “Sinister”.

      It was decent.

      Far from the scariest I’ve seen

  5. The vast amount of zombie movies suggest a lot of people are “seeing” something. “The Night of the Triffids” (1963),in which most of mankind goes blind, also feels powerful. Various ancient visions of “dead rising” also fit the pattern of an enormous number of people behaving in a zombie-like manner. Since so many saw it, it’s coming. So if it’s inevitable, no need to worry.

  8. I’d very much like to read a more educational post on the “bird” flu. This sounds like something we should all understand how it works. My family lives in the area in your graphic and I live not terribly far away. I want to know how to protect them and me. What treatments are likely to work, etc. Please explain more soon.

  9. GVB has a theory that the Covid virus/immune system debacle is contributing to rising disease in other animals (if I’m remembering it correctly), which will subside after the great rebalancing takes place.

    From that perspective, we don’t need to worry much about these other seemingly rising issues that will soon peter out.

    The world will get worse, not because of “polybasic cleavage sites” but because powerful Jews (who have names and addresses) are using their money and influence to shape the world as they see fit.

    Perhaps you are correct that overpopulation and climate change is a problem.

    Let’s just be honest about who is in charge instead of infecting LSWM minds about how it’s all about polybasic cleavage sites and CD8 cells, and not the desires of powerful people to shape the globe in a way which benefits them.

    That OK with you?

  13. Rintrah’s law: If you allow anyone to comment on your blog, eventually you will just be left with low IQ low status white males complaining about Jews.

  14. Seeing as we’re onto horror fiction:

    hhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_RVbD3vqGU

    A grab bag of sci fi nightmares, all blamed on Trump.

    But if you vote for Kamala instead, you will get to enjoy BAU forever and a permanent double penetration dance party.

    Yeah, right.

      • It seems to hit some similar points to ones that you have made though and link them to Trump – e.g. political violence; neo-feudal Tech lords, AI, digital panopticon; climate disaster. . .

        Perhaps the creator is a fan of yours?

        Or perhaps it’s just the zeitgeist?

        Most of those points seen like fairly reasonable concerns to me given the horror world we live in, which, cynically, I expect to carry on under either side.
