Why Mental Health Disorders Emerge in Your Early 20s

by Hanson O’Haver From the column ‘The VICE Guide to Mental Health’ There’s a reason the image of the floundering, scared, shaky post-teen struggling to enter adulthood is a cliché. Between moving out of your parent’s home, going to college and getting a job, lack of sleep, drugs, and unrestricted access to alcohol, becoming an adult is fucking hard.

What about kids from wealthy families who don’t have the stresses the rest of us do … Continue reading Why Mental Health Disorders Emerge in Your Early 20s

Facebook Is Eating the Internet

Dado Ruvic / Reuters The state of the media in 2015 begins and ends with the tech giant. by ADRIENNE LAFRANCE Facebook, it seems, is unstoppable. The social publishing site, just 11 years old, is now the dominant force in American media. It drives a quarter of all web traffic. In turn, Facebook sucks up a huge portion of ad revenue—the money that keeps news organizations running—and holds an enormous captive audience. We already know, from a Pew poll last year, that nearly half of the adults who use the Internet report getting their news from Facebook alone. Now consider some … Continue reading Facebook Is Eating the Internet

Transcendence: Esoteric Analysis

by Jay Dyer Transcendence is the ultimate transhumanist film to date. Convalescence would have been a better name. The film begins with some cataclysmic future event that has caused the collapse of civilization to a pre-electrical state. Rewind a few years, and we see Johnny Depp as Dr. Will Caster, a scientist who specializes in artificial intelligence on the verge of discovering the final key to mapping the human mind so it can be downloaded onto a floppy disc.

The Operation Called “Engineered Consensus”

by Jon Rappoport, Guest, Waking Times This operation has various stages. It can be applied to issues like vaccination, GMO food, climate change, fake epidemics, elections, war—and it can be applied widely across the general subject of reality itself. It begins with some “authoritative” voice proclaiming an idea is a fact. Well, someone has to start the ball rolling. Very quickly, according to plan, others pick up the ball and echo the original idea. This includes both “respected” individuals and groups. Media join in. What follows is a scramble to gain public acceptance. All sorts of approaches are used in this stage … Continue reading The Operation Called “Engineered Consensus”

DREAMING OF PARADOX

Photography by Ronny Engelmann by JAMESWJESSO I’ve been having this reoccurring sensation; a feeling that the reality I experience as my waking life is really a dream that I am just about to wake from. I start to get a light glimpse of each person within this waking reality – directly present and historically referenced – to be dream characters and creations of my mind. Like a wonderfully sown yarn, each character in this unfolding dreamscape has become present at the exact moment necessary to further me along a process of awakening to this truth. Simultaneous to this sense of pending … Continue reading DREAMING OF PARADOX

Believing That Life Is Fair Might Make You a Terrible Person

Bryon Lippincott (CC BY-ND 2.0) Oliver Burkeman writes at the Guardian: If you’ve been following the news recently, you know that human beings are terrible and everything is appalling. Yet the sheer range of ways we find to sabotage our efforts to make the world a better place continues to astonish. Did you know, for example, that last week’s commemorations of the liberation of Auschwitz may have marginally increased the prevalence of antisemitism in the modern world, despite being partly intended as a warning against its consequences? Or that reading about the eye-popping state of economic inequality could make you … Continue reading Believing That Life Is Fair Might Make You a Terrible Person
