In said thread, Eclectic revealed that one of those pics had been widely distributed in the msm already, casting more than a little doubt on the authenticity of solypsist's claims.

I don't understand why the entire thread was removed. That's just shitty.

THE THREE STEPS TO BE THE SMUG

1st

Something awfully irrelevant happens. A mistake perhaps; a fraud even, given some sentiments. Or merely it was just one huge fake dream and misunderstanding. The people nonetheless goes wild. Accusations made; assumptions assumed. Preachers hail the coming Armageddon, the ruination of character, of trust, of the bond of humanity. The End of the World is Nigh.

The process is necessary to serve as the trigger, the catalyst for the catasthropic event.

2nd

Talks continue; debates grow; arguments made; doubts are thrown out in the open; the individuals of great conviction continue their doubtless path of accusation.

Any masterful agitators know their day have come, and such is considered the main process.

3rd

I come in, laugh at it all. For the End of the World is Nigh, and I don't care. Oh, and I know nothing, which makes it all even more ludicrous. That solution might come and the World As We Know It might not end really doesn't matter to me either; but drama is drama, and I like watching drama.

Such truth, that I am irrelevant, makes this process individually satisfying but irrelevant all the same.
