There's an alternate ending to "A Quiet Time"!

I didn't know about this before and while replaying the mission today, I managed to run away from the sheriffs at the end of the mission.

And doing that didn't take me to jail. Arthur woke up south of Limpany, lying in the grass. Here's what he said:

"Oh, you moron, Morgan. You moron... Not again." *vomits*

Lenny is back in camp after that, keeping guard duty.

A hidden dialogue later:

Arthur: So what happened to you in Valentine?

Lenny: I don't quite remember. You?

Arthur: I woke up in the middle of nowhere. Nasty.

A fool and their money are soon departed. A wise man once said nothing.

HELLO GAYS I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT THROUGH THE SAME PERSON THAT PROVIDED US ART-SCHOOL GERARD THAT HE USED TO HANG OUT WITH CLOSE FRIENDS WEARING PINK SILK PIJAMAS,^&#£%¥@$¥+¥

art school gerard (the blueprint girlfriend) used to wear Pink >Silk< pijamas.

Men are in a place of surrender. They are willing to do something different than they have traditionally. Men want to break free from the box that men have been put in. They want to redefine what it means to be a manly.

There are facets of a man that doesn’t get expressed because of what society dictates a man is supposed to be. It negates much of who he truly is.

He is emotional sometimes, insecure sometimes and fearful sometimes. However, he can never express that based on society’s definition of a man.

All that he is dealing with on the insides get bottled up. Pushed down. Unexpressed.

He needs to express these negative thoughts but he can’t. And that expression needs be heard and seen. Or it will show up in other ways that are not so positive.

Unless there’s a safe space for a man to be vulnerable, he will hold it all inside and suffer in silence.

Men suffer in silence, holding on to pain because safe spaces are rare or nonexistent for men to share without judgment.

That’s why we were adamant about bringing the work of @manhealthyselfprogram into the @qawellnessinstitute.

Over the course of the last few years it has truly become a safe space for the men in our community. MHT is unique community where men share authentically freely what’s going on inside without the fear of how he’ll be perceived.

The best/worst part about being 2 iq points from a qualifying Mensa member is that you’re smart….. but nobody knows it. Literally nobody knows you are smart and might try to act like they know much more about ideas and concepts than you when you just don’t want to be a jerk because you know way more than them but you don’t want to discourage them from thinking. Like you can engage with them but also engage on higher levels that they might not be able to. I think people wrongly equate being smart with being a know-it-all douche that constantly wants to correct people and prove themselves better. Like no, I’m smart but I don’t know everything obviously, nobody does. Engaging with others and hearing different perspectives is important. If you aren’t overly prideful, you should be humbled by others who know different things than you. The real value is of being receptive to new thoughts and information and knowing you don’t know everything.

But most people don’t understand iq anyway and what a low, average, and high, and yet higher score are so it doesn’t matter lol

Law, tech, property, and the means of production are the true ‘codes’ if anything. Not damn music videos.

any tips on lifting? I'm a complete beginner so anything helps :))

Controlled/ prescribed burns are starting to get recognition for being a wildfire prevention tool. In addition to that, I wanted to share a passage about controlled burns in forest settings from LO-TEK, Design by Radical Indigenism by Julia Watson:

"Through fire they release nutrients that were stored in the foliage, fumigate pathogens, fertilize the soil with ash, and leave porous charcoal that increases water absorption."

On Intelligence 3/6: Awaken the Living Awareness Within - Discover the Keys to Happiness, Inner Peace & Harmony

This being the case, we need to add another layer to this discussion, that of protolanguage — a parent language from which actual languages are derived; or as some would say, exolinguistics, xenolinguistics. This kind of language is universal, having the ability to convey different meanings to different people at different times. These kinds of symbols or archetypal alphabets (seen both in this book and on the website) are encoded within the very fabric of our reality, which is another way of saying that the roots of all the languages in all cultures lead to a singular multidimensional source — transcending both space and time, you see?

If one wishes to better understand this, it may be immensely helpful to “flip the script” for a moment and consider a different kind of approach than what we are accustomed to. In so doing, one can easily entertain the idea that not only space and time, but also matter and form, and even energy — are concepts that appear in consciousness; and thereby phenomena that we perceive through our senses, of which the mind is the primary sense-organ. In other words, all experience and phenomena happens in consciousness — see? Against this backdrop, we can easily see that there is nowhere to go but in, which is another way of saying that in regards to space and time — there really is no space “out there,” and no universal clock “anywhere” to keep time. Rather, there is but an appearance of space and time, matter and form; and thus, it is all here — within the Innerverse, residing within each and every one of us. Within the heart, within the Innerverse, in the deepest core of our being, there is a sacred space where the Creator dwells — the Divine Presence is found there, alongside with Living Intelligence and Living Wisdom. As we delve into this, we find that there is something beyond the surface — we call this something, Living Awareness, which is the key to unlocking the treasure within, you see?

It seems as though this unexplored world of consciousness — Innerverse, is both the great mystery we are afraid to explore, and dogma that we are too afraid and reluctant to burst open. Someday soon, once we reach a new way of thinking that will liberate our minds not only from bias and illusion, but also from ignorance and hubris, can we approach this from another perspective. This inner transformation could ignite the spark of interest to reach toward something new and exciting; it could spark the flame of curiosity and the will to discover one’s True Self; strive to push the boundaries of what is possible, so that we could gradually venture into the unknown — to discover what lies beyond the limits of the known, you see? There already are some who have crossed over to discover the Great Unknown — hopefully someday soon, many more will follow, for there is plenty more to discover, a plethora of questions to be asked, and lots of answers to be found — the key resides within, you see?

And so you see, in actuality, all information is already within us, which makes information accessible to anyone. It helps tremendously if we think in this way: everything we have ever wanted to know about Life is within us — our bodies are composed of cells, each cell is a fragment of the whole, and yet each cell contains the blueprint for life. What a marvelous revelation, don’t you think? This means that the Source Code of Life and the vast array of memory banks are readily available to be read, analyzed and interpreted by everyone. All we need to do is to become aware of this hidden treasure within each of us and start reading the Book of Life. That said, it should also be acknowledged that yes, of course, we can analyze our DNA by using modern technology, but the simple truth is that it can only take us so far. There is so much more within us that no external technology can ever show us, and so the only way to access this vast array of information is to use our innate internal technology.

And when it comes to information itself — well, this is an interesting one to say the least, because it is one of those “chicken and egg” type of situations. There are two facets to look at here: first, information in general, which we will take a look at in a moment. Second, information as it pertains to this book — well, no one can say from where or when it originates exactly. Why? Because of the paradoxical nature of it all. You see, one could easily entertain the idea that alongside with the paradoxical nature of information itself, we are dealing with another paradox called “bootstrap paradox.” It occurs when the consequences of an event in the future travel back in time and cause an event in the past or present, which in turn is among the causes of the first event, forming a causal loop in which both events are caused by each other. In case of information, this means that it no longer has a discernible point of origin, and thus is said to be “uncaused” or “self-created,” and thus “self-emergent.”

This presents an interesting conundrum: Is information created, or is it discovered? And if information, and as an extension, knowledge, and even Universal Wisdom — is indeed discovered rather than created, can we then say that information just “is?” Furthermore, is it not indeed the case that in the same sense, nothing is ever invented, only discovered? You see, there are more wonders to be discovered in this universe and beyond than one could ever dream of, are there not? What we can say with certainty is that information in itself is, indeed, a paradox. For instance: we are information, yet we are uncertainty, and paradoxically enough, information is thought to be the resolution of uncertainty; the more we know, the more we realize how much we don’t know — see?

What is certain, though, is that in whatever kind of way the universe and life as we know it came into being, is sustained, and continues to express itself — is due to information and intelligence. The concept of information has different meanings in different contexts, but generally, across the board, information signifies intelligence; other than that, information is considered to be a form of entropy, which in turn signifies chaos, randomness, and disorder. However, entropy is also the process of arrangement. You see, the interesting part is that all life arises out of chaos with ordered set of information (something being informed, and thus in form), which goes on to say that life, in and of itself, is one gigantic process of passing down information. Does it not, then, qualify as intelligence? Here we should remember one important truth: information itself is not intelligence, which means that information by itself is useless and meaningless, unless it is acted upon. And so you see, to use it, a system/entity/person needs enough knowledge to know what it means, and enough know-how to do something with it.
