I generally watch every rally and speech, and listen to every non-financial X22 Report.
But because we're a bit ahead of the curve compared to a lot of people in the information realm (though we are all still learning), I can find it hard to fully invest in these things anymore.
Because narratives rely on repetition, no matter what it is. It's a known fact of politics. You gotta REPEAT.
But when you're already "there", the repetition starts to get tiresome.
I know what Dave will say a lot of the time, as it's generally a collected presentation of the anon news we all dig through.
I know what Trump says, and can time the "and I'm proud to be an American..." intros to the second.
I know it's an infowar, but sometimes you just want something big to happen publicly as a bit of catharsis, or at least the illusion of something happening.
Of course, my desire for even an illusion of something happening probably means I'm nowhere as intellectual as I think I am.
I don't know. I feel like "I'm already there", and need to start improving my immediate life with the morals and values I've developed in this movement, rather than wait for some big slow-moving clandestine operation to appease my need for a clean wrap up of the narrative.
I watch President Trump nowadays, simply to see if there are any comms.
It's hard to stay engaged, but it's harder to unplug.
Yes! I agree. I don’t watch any rallies, and I was at Jan6 - so that’s saying a lot.
I used to listen to X 22 every night. I haven’t listen to him for a long time. It’s just the same old same old.
We already know.
At some point, we reach data and information saturation.
That's why I love DEFECTED and Devolution Power Hour (Wed) with JH and BB.
These programs have like 3 or 4 major chunks of information, but lots and lots of distillation. Dave at 22 is like beer. you can only drink so much. But Defected etc is like vodka or whisky. Highly distilled.
That might seem a counter-intuitive analogy, but the point is, that when you reach information saturation, you need to kick in higher gears of distilling the information that you have, refining it down and down and down, so that you have a manageable and potent concentrate. It becomes more about HOW you think than about WHAT you know.
I listened to Dave a LOT during 2019 and 2020, but once I hit 2021, and Q stopped posting, I just moved on. Not because Dave changed, but rather, because he didn't change. Which is fine. I suspect his target audience continues to get turnover, with new folks patching in. But what I needed at that point was a higher grade of informational processing.
Dave has some great spotlight interviews tho.
Yes, both of those shows are the delicious mental gymnastics of putting the pieces we read here all day together. And explains why I don't get up until 8 AM some mornings.
