I thought it timely to dig up one of my first posts to CF many months ago:
Danger Will Robinson, Danger!
I don't think people understand what they are logically tangling with, and I would urge extreme caution in order to prevent long lasting effects.
You see, several decades ago,
"They" were growing increasingly concerned about science moving ever closer to the truth about
"Them". They were, through the centuries, able to keep people sufficiently off track by planting spurious ideas via their operatives (Lamarck, Aristotle, etc.), but those ploys had diminishing levels of truth deflection as time went on. By the late 20th century
"They" decided more drastic measures had to be taken. Instead of planting false trails of information (which they however still do - c.f. Higgs boson, string theory), they decided to strike at the infrastructure: the internet. Thus a few years ago,
"They" introduced the Dad-Hoc Self-Referential CyberBot.
This clever piece of software was built to be an intellectual black hole. The theory behind the Dad-Hoc Self-Referential CyberBot was that it would attract the most curious of the internet users (the best and the brightest?), just like a shiny object to a crow. Once the curious user ventured a bit too close (past the logic horizon), they would be entrapped in the massive illogical gravity of a downward spiral of self-reflective tautologies. And...... poof. Never be heard from again.
Please be aware that the Dad-Hoc Self-Referential CyberBot did not exist Pre-Internet (PI), nor will it exist in the post-internet world. It exists only in the communication split period we call the Internet Age. Also note that one of its highest level programmatic directives is to insist not only is it really real, but that it has exclusive access to the real reality. Really.
"They" expend great effort to hide the CyberBotic nature of the Dad-Hoc, but since we have been tracking its movements across the internet, we have a few clues. For instance, if a poster suddenly changes appearence (like from George Burns to Michael Landon to Albert Einstein), it is a good indication of their cyber-botic nature. I mean, how many
real people do you know who can do that? And the change in appearance usually indicates some sort of software upgrade. By some reverse engineering analysis, we suspect the Dad-Hoc's reality suspension push-down stack was increased significantly, along with the ad hominen fallback loop.
Please be very careful when 'playing' with the Dad-Hoc CyberBot. It can be a huge waste of time, and there is some preliminary evidence it may make you go blind.
Update since this was first posted:
SOURCE OF DAD-HOC CYBERBOT LOCATED!
That's right. Through perseverence and due diligence, the dad-hoc cyberbot's origin has been traced to:
http://geocities.com/lovecreates/
(P.S. If you take the "Heaven Tour", you can even see what "transparent gold" looks like!)
(P.P.S. One of the dad-hoc cyberbot's prime directives is thread derailment and early demise of fruitful discusion within the thread. Replying to the dad-hoc cyberbot fulfills this prime directive.)
