192.91.235.193:

'''Ziggurat'''

Vast, complex structures used for multiple purposes by various ancient
peoples. Despite their astounding height and width, most ziggurats were
accessible via only one easily guarded and self-destructible external
staircase. Structural purposes include, but are not limited to: the escape of
Great Floods and initiations of the Eleusinian Mysteries <ref> A system of ceremonial rites shrouded in enigma, reported to center around Persephone and her time as a captive in [[hades|Hades]]. Cited by many scholars as a predecessor to Occultism,
 [[error|Freemasonry]], and the Worship of [[luciferin|Lucifer]] aka Satanism, it is now speculated that enactors of the Eleusinian Mysteries were under the influence of both  [[error|psychedelic]] drugs and [[narcotics]].

192.91.235.193:

'''Phage [related: Silurian Hypothesis]'''

Robotic looking self-replicating virus composed of protein encapsulated DNA.
Phage have been used experimentally by Soviet scientists to preserve food and
virophage. There are thought to be around 1031 phages on earth -
more than every other lifeform combined. It is estimated that over 75% of all
marine bacteria is infected by phages. The metallic, mechanistic appearance
and highly advanced/efficient self-replication methods of phages has led to
speculation that they in fact constitute nanotechnology of either ancient or
alien origin — an idea supported by the Silurian Hypothesis <ref>

192.91.235.193:

'''Socotra AKA Soqotra'''

An secessionist island off the coast of The Republic of Yemen in the Indian Ocean currently under the control of the UAE. Extraordinarily isolated for thousands of years, Socotra is commonly known as "the most alien-looking place on earth". It is estimated that up to 34% of its flora is endemic, including the startingly strange Dragon's Blood "upside down" tree.

Periaqueductal-grey

2024-04-13T21:39:40Z

192.91.235.193:

'''Periaqueductal Grey (AKA PAG, Central Grey)'''

A cluster of neurons in the human brain peripheral to the cerebral aqueduct.
PAG takes the form of gray matter and plays a central function in analgesia
(pain reduction), abstract mania (see: [[apeirophobia]]), and autonomic responses to threatening stimuli. The PAG's high concentration opioid receptors are activated by many [[narcotics]] including morphine, hydrocodone, and oxycodone. Natural PAG opioid stimulants include waves of extreme nostalgia, teenage fellatio, and
[[dharma|Dharmic]] transcendence of self. The PAG plays a central role in "fight or flight response": extreme and stimulation of the area due to real (or imagined) threat can lead to a misleadingly lackadaisical posture known as quiescence
<ref> A state marked in extreme cases by 1) complete immobility 2) a
feigned smile often read as disingenuous and 3) sudden visualization of an
endless white void and/or the feeling of gradually sinking into an endless

[[error|non-spatial abyss]]. </ref>. Overstimulated PAG can become
activated pathologically resulting in dysregulation - a state commonly
associated with the development of various forms of psychosis, most notably
induced [[schizophrenia|schizophrenic]] [[bicameralism]].

Nettle

2024-04-13T21:38:28Z

192.91.235.193:

'''Nettle AKA Stinging Nettle'''

Or ''urtica dioca'': a herbaceous plant native to Europe and parts of Asia and North Africa. Nettle is remarkable for both its high protein content and its stinging hairs (trichomes) which are known to cause ''[[error|parasthesia]]''. It is this latter quality that led to its use by the Saxons as a means of staying "mindful" during the psychological exploration of repressed memories, a practice later explored in considerably more depth by [[imago|Sigmund Freud]] and his myrmidons. Nettle was originally thought to have been brought to modern day England via the Romans, but in 2011 a burial cist dating from around 1650 BC was uncovered on Whitehorse Hill in Dartmoor containing a ceremonial sash made from stinging nettle.

Elysium

2024-04-13T21:37:17Z

192.91.235.193:

'''Elysium AKA Elysian Fields'''

An expansive and exceedingly pleasant section of the Greek underworld reserved for the righteous and heroic. Separated from the den of [[hades|Hades]] by the stream of Okeanos, the shady parks of the Elysian Fields provide an ideal setting for its
chosen residents to engage in various leisure pursuits including music performance, poetry recitation, recreational athletics, and consensual orgies. Comparable to [[valhalla|Valhalla]] in Norse mythology and the idyllic plains in the neighborhood
of Memphis containing the capital tombs of Egypt.

Dillinger-is-dead

2024-04-13T21:36:42Z

192.91.235.193:

'''''Dillinger is Dead'' [related: Papeete, John Herbert Dillinger]'''

A 1969 film by Marco Ferreri starring Michel Piccoli, Anita Pallenberg, and
Annie Girardot remarkable for its juxtaposition of domestic banality and ultra
violence. Here "Dillinger" refers not to the film's protagonist but to the Great Depression-era John Herbert Dillinger, infamous for his gangster bravado and flamboyant personality. The federal government used the pursuit of Dillinger to rationalize the development of the Federal Bureau of Investigations ([[error|F.B.I.]]) and subsequently increasingly sophisticated (and invasive) techniques of interrogation and surveillance (the legality of which were subsequently questioned in court by actor/historian[[studs-terkel|Studs Terkel]]). Ferreri's film ends with the central character inexplicably uxoricide by shooting his wife in the head and boarding a boat to Papeete, Tahiti, a locale associated largely with artist Paul Gauguin's depiction of prepubescent nascent sexual deviance - the black sand of its beaches later becoming slang (see: Urban Dictionary) for various [[narcotics]] including heroin, morphine, and "downtown brown".

Imbruglia

2024-04-13T21:35:44Z

192.91.235.193:

'''Imbruglia AKA Natalie Jane Imbruglia [Feb. 4, 1975]'''

The creator of "Torn", a 1997 song outlining the dissolution of early romantic
ideation into systematized apathy resulting in aesthetic-based hopelessness
and depression paralleling the development and subsequent unraveling of
mid/late '90's neo-liberal tech-oriented utopianism:

''"I can see the perfect sky is torn".''

Gallowglass

2024-04-13T21:35:10Z

192.91.235.193:

'''Gallowglass [related: Berserker]'''

Elite and mysterious warrior class of Norse-Gaelic berserkers known for fighting with a blind fury bordering on the psychotic. Being of Norse descent, the Gallowglass were thought to be independent by both the Irish and Scottish military - contemporary historical records refer to them as "band of mercenaries driven not by material wealth but by a twisted sense of honor and a lust for carnage". Clad in bloody bear-skin, the Gallowglass incorporated spastic ritualistic dance techniques into their combat technique, a behavior now commonly attributed to the ingestion of [[error|psychedelic]] elixirs prior to battle.

Essential-oils

2024-04-13T21:34:35Z

192.91.235.193:

'''Essential Oils™'''

Line of high priced hydrophobic liquids containing ethereal chemical compounds. Though heavily commercialized and manufactured through sometimes toxic processes <ref> Claims by Essential Oils™ that its products are prepared via the ancient and time intensive practice of ''sfumatura'' have been widely disproven. </ref>, Essential Oils™ are marketed as a natural means of addressing common ailments. Many Essential Oils™ can be poisonous if ingested or absorbed through skin, including Sweet Lemon Myrtle™, Biblical Frankincense™, and White and Yellow Camphor™.

Elektroshock-therapy

2024-04-13T21:32:35Z

192.91.235.193:

'''ElektroShock Therapy™ (AKA Shock Treatment)'''

Psychiatric treatment for [[schizophrenia]] involving the induction of a generalized grand seizure in the brain. First used in 1938 by Italian psychiatrist and amateur inventor Ugo Cerletti, ElektroShock™ Therapy generally involves the external application of between 80 and 150 volts <ref> Enough voltage to power an electric saw or soldering iron. </ref> of electricity (with around 10% of the voltage "lost" to the insulative properties of the skull). The treatment, even when successful at reducing or eliminating schizophrenic symptoms, is often followed by amnesia, both retrograde and anteretrograde. Use of ElectroShock™ peaked in the late 1940's <ref> In which decade it was successfully and controversially trademarked by [REDACTED] - a rather poorly regarded psychiatrist later threatened with litigation by the progeny of Cerletti. </ref>, later declining throughout the 1950's and '60's with the rise of the modern pharmaceutical industry (despite numerous and increasingly sophisticated studies maintaining ElekroShock™'s efficacy). Numerous misguided and sensationalistic references in popular culture
<ref> Leading to the moniker "shock therapy" now common to the parlance of the
[[hair-metal|hair metal]], heavy metal, and [[error|power electronics]] styles of music. </ref> throughout the last three decades of the 20th century all but sealed the treatment's fate: ElektroShock™ is currently illegal or heavily restricted in various territories throughout the globe including but not limited to the great state of Texas.

Normcore

2024-04-13T21:27:56Z

192.91.235.193:

'''NormCore AKA Norm Core [related: Mephisto, Patagonia, J. Crew, Eddie Bauer]'''

Fashion movement largely associated with the styling of various late '80's and
early '90's situational comedies (i.e: ''[[perfect-strangers|Perfect Strangers]]'') and [[jon-and-kate|TLC]] shows centering around the non-ironic wearing of chinos, orthopedic New Balance sneakers, tucked in cotton sweaters, and [exclusively white] tube socks. Seen as a generalized subcultural reaction to the "infinite choice anxiety" AKA "[[apeirophobia|infinity phobia]]" presented by the onset of
[[internet|the Internet]] (AKA World Wide Web abbrev. WWW). Accepted brands include but are not limited to  [[error|Eddie Bauer]], Van Heusen, Mephisto, J. Crew and Patagonia previous to its controversial 2015 Denim Relaunch campaign.

Obolus

2024-04-13T21:27:10Z

192.91.235.193:

'''Obolus'''

Proper burial etiquette mandates a single obol must be placed in the mouth at the time of death to pay for passage across the river Styx upon arrival in [[hades|Hades]]. It should be noted the commonality of appropriate remuneration for facilitating transport through points of threshold between distinct realms of existence (incl. Westchester County/The Bronx).

T-1-carrier

2024-04-13T21:26:17Z

192.91.235.193:

'''T-1 Carrier AKA T-carrier'''

Technology developed by [[error|Ma Bell]] at [[error|Bell Laboratories]], in part to circumvent the infiltration into the multi-frequency automation by phone hackers, or
[[phreaking|phreaks]]. T-carriers marked the first use of 
[[digital|digitalization]] in commercial communication technology and provided exponentially greater speeds of transmission data via the translation and reduction (and subsequent reconstitution) of audio signals into binary bits via
[[codex|codec]]. T-1 technology could not be operated via Plane Old Telephone Service Lines (POTS) and required the installation of massive amounts of new hardware. T-1 lines were able to transmit data along with audio and quickly became the preferred
conduit for hi-speed infiltration into corporate and governmental cyberspace
by the [[error|Legion of Doom]], [[error|Masters of Deception]], and extended [[phiber-optik|@Cafe]] hacking communities.

Saccharin

2024-04-13T21:25:26Z

192.91.235.193:

'''Saccharin'''

A metallic tasting chemical food additive approximately 300-400 times sweeter than sugar. Prior to its widespread discontinuation <ref> Following a since-discredited scientific study in which lab rats were fed a mono-diet consisting solely of around 150 times their body weight in saccharin a day. </ref> in the 1990's, saccharin was used to sweeten no calorie drinks such as Tab, Diet Dr. Pepper, and [[crystal-pepsi|Crystal Pepsi]]. A heat-stable substance, saccharin does not react to other ingredients and is essentially non-perishable. As such, water tables around saccharin manufacturing plants and distribution centers have been found to contain high quantities of the chemical. Moreover, bees like it.

Ringu

2024-04-13T21:24:17Z

192.91.235.193:

'''Ringu'''

Japanese horror film directed by Hideo Nakata released worldwide in 1998. The
film centers on a psionically created video cassette that murders those who
view it. The success of the film and its subsequent American remake led to the
prevalence of "possessed object" horror in the early 20th century, a trend
often linked to the public's growing apprehension surrounding advances in the
development of [[ai|artificial intelligence]] (A.I.). The film was a stated influence for the late stages of ''[[solomons-key|Solomon's Key]]'', an [[nes|NES]] title of byzantine difficulty.

Meconium

2024-04-13T21:23:16Z

192.91.235.193:

'''Meconium'''

Black tar-like substance that collects inside the fetal intestines while in
utero. Standard hospital policy dictates that expectant parents are not
alerted to its presence until the placenta has been successfully delivered.
Often a pamphlet is given upon discharge entitled "''Meconium and Beyond''" including inflammatory information on [[crib-death|Crib Death]] and directions for freezing and
post-natal consumption of the placenta by the mother in the form of high-protein smoothies.

Max-headroom

2024-04-13T21:22:32Z

192.91.235.193:

'''Max Headroom'''

Debuting in 1985, Max Headroom was the first computer generated television personality. Headroom emerged from a dystopian future dominated by advertising-based television controlled by a small conglomerate of large tech corporations dubbed The Network, an entity oft compared to [[terminator|SkyNet]]. The
Network functioned with full governmental authority, passing laws against turning off television sets and using various forms of cathode ray technology to monitor viewers movements and communication. Headroom's [[ai|A.I.]] system was generated from the memories of activist journalist Edison Carter, the only dissenting voice from within the Network and the public's sole source of unadulterated information. Headroom's name was auto-generated from Carter's last memory before perishing in a
suspicious accident in a parking garage: the sign "MAX HEADROOM, 2.3H" (delineating an overhead clearance of 2.3 meters). On November 22, 1987, the Max Headroom A.I. was used to hijack the signal of two television stations in Chicago during an airing of the Dr. Who serial "Horror of Fang Rock" <ref> The intrusion occurred as the lead characters were waiting for the arrival of the Time Lord. </ref>in an act of video piracy. Throughout the 83-second intrusion, Max Headroom displayed cryptic and erratic behavior, repeatedly degrading [[error|New Coke]] <ref> Leading to speculation of possible Pepsi Cola involvement as part of the ongoing
[[error|Cola Wars]]. </ref> singing "I Know I'm Losing You" by the Temptations, whistling the Clutch Cargo <ref> A serialized animated television series known best for pioneering the use of Syncro-Vox - a technology involving the implantation of moving human mouths on static drawn figures. </ref> theme and later referencing its final episode, "The Big X" <ref> A notoriously strange episode involving the use of a coal-powered rocketship to prevent a "musical asteroid" from destroying the moon. </ref>. The intrusion culminated in Headroom's bare buttocks being struck repeatedly with a fly swatter. A reward of $100,000 was offered by the FCC for any information regarding the incident, but the culprits behind the hijacking and their methodology remain, to this day, unidentified. The incident was anchored around Network 23, a number referenced repeatedly in the intrusion, perhaps as a nod to the  [[23-enigma|23 Enigma]].

Technostalgia

2024-04-13T21:19:48Z

192.91.235.193:

'''Technological Nostalgia AKA Technostalgia [related: Cyber-nostalgia]'''

The concept that active and direct technological engagement throughout the full cycle of pubescence engenders lifelong feelings of connection, comfort, and, at times, sexual attraction to certain contemporary products. Such products can
be thought to include: video games, video game avatars ( [[error|esp. female]]), car interiors (esp. burgundy), [[error|rear break lights]] with hollow patterns, polaroid photographs, certain musical media (i.e. cassettes), [[winamp|WinAmp]] skins, phones with cords
(esp. car phones),[[radioshack|RadioShack]], and [[error|early internet commerce sites]]. Cyber-nostalgia, a sister concept, refers more specifically to connection with meta-objects and platforms indigenous to the ethereal and non-spatial digital [[internet]].

The-iceman-cometh

2024-04-13T21:18:32Z

192.91.235.193:

'''''The Iceman Cometh'' [related: Jeff Bridges]'''

American play by [REDACTED] premiered in [REDACTED] focusing on role of
self-deception AKA pipe dreams in surviving "[[simulation-theory|the simulation]]". Featuring an ensemble cast of downtrodden men, a center-heavy venn diagram
can be formed between actors featured in prominent stagings of the play and
lead villians in seminal '80s films, including but not limited to Brian
Deneghy, James Cromwell, Jeff Bridges, Sorrell Booke (Boss Hog from ''The Dukes of Hazzard''), and the guy from ''Total Recall'' and ''Robocop''. Ironically, a fixed-media version of ''The Iceman Cometh'' has never been successfully executed <ref> With the notable exception of Cardboard Computer's launching of
a short-form 8-bit video game platform entitled ''The Entertainment'' as part of its Kentucky Route Series that heavily references numerous aspects of the play. </ref>.

The-self

2024-04-13T21:16:25Z

192.91.235.193:

'''The Self [disambiguation: self]'''

Quotes presented around "I" are often meant to differentiate the discrete, artificially conceptualized self from the unadulterated form, ''I''. In such cases, the quotes stand in recognition of the integrated duality of self/not self and consciousness's arising within the emergent [[dharma|Emptiness]] that comprises the true nature of reality in the [[error|Buddhist/Quanntum]] worldview. In this light, "Self/I" can be said to represent the resolution of various false binaries, functioning instead as a fulcrum point between subjective and objective perspectives.

The-waste-land

2024-04-13T21:14:31Z

192.91.235.193:

'''''The Waste Land'' aka ''La Terre des Dechets'' [related: T.S. Eliot, Boston Brahmin]'''

Epic poem published in 1922 by Boston Brahmin <ref> Term for Boston's W.A.S.P. (White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant) [disambiguation: [[hair-metal|Hair Metal]]] upper class coined by Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. in 1860. The term "Brahmin" is taken from the Hindu caste system, meaning ''priestly''. Oddly, the Boston Brahmins supported the Confederacy in the American Civil War of 1861. </ref> Thomas Stearns Eliot OM <ref> Eliot renounced his American citizenship and permanently emigrated to England in 1927 at the age of 39, an act for which he was awarded the Order of Merit by the British government. </ref>. T.S. Eliot, as he was professionally known, composed the poem in 1922 to fulfill a $150 commission from the transcendentalist publication ''The Dial'' while on leave of absence from his job as a teller at Lloyd's Bank <ref> The documented reason for Eliot's leave was "nervous breakdown". Eliot was rumored to have feigned increasingly erratic behavior in the weeks leading up to his request. </ref>. With its sudden changes of tense, perspective, and time period, ''The Waste Land'' was thought to be impenetrable upon its release. The density of its reference points alone was completely unprecedented. Ideas from [[dharma|Buddhism]], [[error|Greek Mythology]], the Hindu [[error|Upanishads]], the poems of [[baudelaire|Charles Baudelaire]], the [[apocrypha]] of [[error|Saint Augustine of Hippo]], and, prominently, the [[error|Tarot of Marseilles]], commingle throughout the poem in a stew of charded narratives and layered imagery. Through the use of digitized lexicography, the poem is now commonly thought of as a metaphorical
[[codex]] for Eliot's tumultuous marriage <ref> Haigh-Wood was committed to an asylum against her will from 1933 to 1947, the year of her passing - a span of time in which her husband never visited. </ref> to Vivienne Haigh-Wood. A vivacious and passionate woman, Haigh-Wood was often represented as a [[incubus|succubus]] or nymph in Eliot's work, lending credence to the rumors that he was a closeted homosexual. Although ''The Waste Land'' is now regarded in most academic circles as canon, the poem was referenced in the ''[[gravitys-rainbow|Gravity's Rainbow]]'' Pulitzer hearings as an example of nonsensical pseudo-literature.

The-moldau

2024-04-13T21:10:59Z

192.91.235.193:

'''''The Moldau'' [related: Bedřich Smetana]'''

Placid and listlessly mellifluous symphonic tone poem by the 18th-century Czech composer Bedřich Smetana. Smetana composed ''The Moldau'' in complete silence during an extended period of debilitating misophonia <ref> Condition in which the subject experiences psychotic levels of anger and/or sexual arousal when exposed to sounds made by other humans, esp. lip-smacking, breathing heavily, and other mouth sounds (esp. re: sex stuff). </ref> that led eventually to full deafness in both ears (and, subsequently, a state of violent mania for which the composer was later forcibly institutionalized until his death).

2024-04-13T21:08:04Z

192.91.235.193:

'''''Weld am Draht'' AKA ''World on a Wire'''''

A 1973 German television serial directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Shot entirely in 16mm, the show centered around the [[cybernetics|Cybernetics]] and Future Science's development of a supercomputer capable of generating a nested simulation inhabited by over 9000 semi-sentient "units". When one of the units repeatedly attempts suicide, chaos ensues.

''World on a Wire'''s closing credits were notably scored by the '70's rock group

Bicameralism

2024-04-13T21:06:09Z

192.91.235.193:

'''Bicameralism [AKA "Two Chambers"][related: Julian Jaynes]'''

Refers to a hypothesis coined by psychological researcher Julian Jaynes
following his time in prison as a conscientious objector to the Second World
War postulating that the human mind was once discretely divided into two
separate "chambers" of activity <ref> Resulting in, according to some pathopsychologists, two discretely separate and binarily opposed [[alters]]. </ref>. Jaynes posits that only experiential links between these two spheres of activity were auditory hallucinations, resulting in a normalized experience of
deity-attributed vocal commands (AKA "the voice of God"). According to Jaynes, bicameralism evolved into our current integrated unicameral cognitive configuration towards the end of the Mediterranean Bronze Age due to the presence of extreme environmental stressors. In retroflection, it is thought that non-genetic
[[schizophrenia]] can be seen as a de-evolution into a bicameral state. Jayne used his theory to validate the [[tower-of-babel|Tower of Babel]] parable as a literal
occurrence resulting from mass confusion/hysteria over the sudden
societal-wide loss of verbal non-auditory commands. Bicameralism is but one
example of ways in which seemingly miraculous factual historical occurrences
have been systematically and erroneously discounted (i.e. attributed to
"legend", "faith-based naivety", "magic", etc.) by Newtonian pseudo-science, a
concept supported in great depth by the work of
[[immanuel-velikovsky|Velikovsky]].

Asphodel-meadows

2024-04-13T21:04:51Z

192.91.235.193:

'''Asphodel Meadows [related: Lethe]'''

Endless fields of the afterlife described in  [[error|Greek Mythology]] as final resting place of the mediocre and unremarkable. Previous to entering the Meadows, recently deceased are forced to drink from the river Lethe <ref> Lethe was commonly known in the underworld as the "river of
unmindfulness"--a contrasting mindstate to that of [[dharma|enlightenment]]. However, in the ''Aeneid'' Virgil states that it is precisely the process of entering complete mindless oblivion that allows a soul to reincarnate. </ref>, thus surrendering their identity. Mythologist and LGBT activist Edith Hamilton describes the fields as being populated by "strange, pallid, ghostly flowers", perhaps referring not to asphodel but [[narcotics|narcissus]].

Ninel-kulagina

2024-04-13T21:03:22Z

192.91.235.193:

'''Ninel Kulagina [related:[[error|Pyrokinesis]]]'''

In the early 1970's, Soviet Scientist Edward Naumov began documenting the case of Ninel Kulagina. A female soldier in the Red Army, Kulagina found that her anger often became manifest in the seemingly magical movement of objects around
her. Naumov initially attempted to debunk her claims through a series of tests, inadvertently and irrefutably supporting them in the process. Straining and shivering, Kulagina is shown, time and again, to be capable of telekinesis - moving matches across a table, speeding and slowing the beating of a frog's heart, and separating egg whites from the yolk. Russian filmmaker [[andrei-tarkovsky|Andrei Tarkovsky]] in particular was fascinated by her abilities, and ends his
film ''[[stalker|Stalker]]'' with a young girl named Monkey pushing a glass off a metal table with her mind. Kulagina was also reportedly capable of  [[error|pyrokinesis]].
