it's called theatrics. he built his entire career on shock, it's a skillset he fostered his entire life to use to market his music.. the guy still ends every one of his shows by fake killing himself on stage. it's meant to scare people & 50+ years later it's obviously still working.

Yeah. Barbara Streisand effect. My friends and I were naturally drawn to whatever "wasn't allowed", it didn't work then and it definitely won't work in the age of social media

That's true. I'm just seeing this. But i'm fine so far still and I really think that I'll continue to be. I'm mostly just saying like it isn't some mass death conspiracy like some believe and it's most likely not even harmful & like it or not Trump's words do carry a lot of weight. I say that because it's a big point of relevant discussion around here. I was making a point of it that I believe the simplest explanation that he's telling us the face value truth because it has a lot to do with that whole conversation.

I mean you're just categorically wrong on this. There is a ton of evidence that COVID is much less deadly & much less transmissible with the vaccine. That's what Trump literally said.

I got the vax after he said that. IMO all this shit about it being deadly is overblown. COVID is deadly

Nah keep reading the list, they just put all the R's at the bottom. It's us vs them, the whole government is the problem not a specific side. These people believe they can do whatever they want because they're powerful.

It can definitely be hard to stay on top of but you're right she should have safe places to play online with her friends. I feel really bad for her. Minecraft is a great game for kids in building their creativity too it's like if you had a million dollars worth of legos as a kid. Not sure how it all works but maybe if you watch her closely and only let her join private servers with her other (irl) friends it could work out. Sorry to hear she went through that

The guy is right though. We all have this enemy in common and they have us right where they want us, too busy fighting to spend too much time even acknowledging it.

You're right and especially someone who comes from a tech background.. But the thing is John wasn't actually really too involved in tech after he sold McAfee. He was rich as shit & just spent the next several decades partying. By the time he was broke tech had changed so much, and 'terabyte' was not a word that even came up back then. If you really listen to some of his in depth videos about security he says a lot but nothing at all of substance that is really insightful. Just my opinion but he really wasn't as versed in these kinds of things as he wanted people to believe. He saw the importance of being seen that way though & really played into it, and in the end he even made fast money again with it with his crypto of the week.

What is a handshake? Sorry I've noticed it myself but I have no idea what it indicates. I feel like I've been here awhile too

I mean, Intel bought McAfee in 1987. It's how Jon first got really rich and depending on how you see it eventually led to his suicide.

I think that was 37. But yeah that would rock if it turns out to be the same data

I don't think so. I'm a web dev myself, it's not the same as software engineering but I know that any widely used program from the 80s has gone through so many total redesigns to make it to 2021. I doubt a single line of code is reused from the original product McAfee made, for one it was made for an entirely different set of processors so it really wouldn't even be compatible in the first place.

A lot of people won't like this but here's why I think this is bullshit:

  1. As much as I love the persona, John is an objective bullshitter. He has a long history of very publicly bullshitting & just generally lying.

  2. THIRTY ONE tb. That is an unbelievable amount of information. Like I literally don't believe it. I don't think people realize how much data that is. It's a number that somebody who is bullshitting would come up with.

  3. Correct me if I'm wrong but John was saying that his switch would start uploading contracts once whatever triggers it does it's job. 31TB worth of them stored in Eth. I don't understand why somebody would design it this way instead of just encrypting them & uploading them years ago then have the switch release a simple .txt with the key. All of this talk about black outs etc totally avoided, there would be nothing to stop.

All of this especially combined with John's prior history of bullshitting leads me to think that John is again most likely bullshitting. Don't get me wrong I would absolutely party with John and I want this 31TB to be true so bad. But this is a guy who absolutely pissed away his fortune, finally got a little bit of it back and with US extradition was on track to lose it all. I don't think he could handle it.

Oh yeah I know, I guess I just gotta expect a level of distrust especially if I'm asking potential journalist questions like sources.. To be clear I'm permanently banned on reddit lol

Lol I just haven't seen that myself about him talking about not "having any data or friends or anything".. What about me asking that makes you think I'm from Reddit
