    I absolutely believe in energy, frequency, and vibration. My wifi vibrates at a frequency of 2.4 and 5 GHz and in order to do that it needs to use energy.

    Like, I’m down with hippie woo energy work, it’s really useful meditation. I use it to keep my anxiety under control. But your religion can’t cure diseases, it can only provide comfort

      That’s how I feel about astrology. A horoscope is just a prompt for self reflection. But it’s fun when something feels woo woo or predictive or relatable because… its fun, idk. Its spooOoOoOoKy, it’s fun, it’s cute. Star charts are a skill you have to learn, it’s a hobby, it makes your brain work.

        Well that begs the question though, why do some people find it fun and cute? Because they want to believe there’s a lazy easy way to figure things out without doing the hard work of the scientific process.

        From that perspective i find astrology to be harmful and dangerous, although unfortunately ive had no success convincing anyone of that. I suppose some humans just like harmful and dangerous things and perhaps evolutionarily our species evolved to have a large number of those people.

        The irony of finding two other woo-tolerant Lemmites in this comm.

        Once I learned that astrology points to themes of influence on a time frame, it made a lot more sense. Taking it literally and thinking everything is confirmation bias is how people dismiss it. There’s more than a few people that have correctly nailed a lot of big events, it’s more about technique it seems. Nick Dagen Best published a book I think in 2013 or 2016 that is hitting hard right now - totally called Trump 2 and stuck to his guns on that.

      Alopatic medicine cures some stuff but what does most is treat symptoms cause what it wants is to make money not to cure disease, I’m quite sure companies making billions off insuline and chemotherapy aren’t going to even bother trying to cure something they are profiting off, in fact is much probable that they actively try to sabotage research that could end their golden goose disease treatments…

    You can map out the inside of a building and figure out where objects are, and when and where movement occurs, with WiFi.

    You cannot do this with magic woo woo nonsense that equivocates and conflates terms across different domain specific meanings, and then attempts to build a world view out of confused, meaningless/contradictory gibberish.

        I mean, I have certainly wandered through many an abandonded, functionally cursed place when I was homeless for about 2 years.

        And I could have just brought a portable radio and randomly dialed through FM/AM stations, pausing for a few second on something stable, then going back to static.

        … but I didn’t need a radio to see the echoes of what had happened at the places I’d been.

      Negative frequency is a concept in signal processing, and many other domains.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_frequency

      Phase could be the thing, beats me, it’s been a while. Negative resistance is also another one of those concepts that pop up now and then, specifically negative differential resistance.
