    Thanks for that

    Yeah, that summary basically aligns with my understanding of how the extermination of the natives worked

      (Replied to myself somehow the first time…)

      Funny, I did the same thing on hexbear yesterday. I swear morphic resonance is real.

      Unrelated, but so many times I have something on my mind, work on a new interest, study, etc., and I will see people on the internet doing the same thing. When I was working on restudying Geometry a year or so ago just simply to improve my math skills so I am prepared to do Calculus again when I go back to college someday for electrical engineering, I started reading Euclid’s Elements. Mind you, I was not influenced by anything on the internet beforehand, I just simply researched recommended reading materials to pirate and restudy mathematical subjects I am rusty on, and the same night I went to bed.

      Before I slept, I was watching YouTubers/streamers play the MyHouse Doom WAD when it was getting popular. I use applications to avoid ads or anything that would spy on me and suggest me stuff based on my browsing habits and my spoken words irl. It was simply newly released videos that I saw in my subscriptions, and at the time it was NewPipe I was using. I simply watched the video on my own volition…and they kept mentioning the game being Non-Euclidean. The following days Euclid/Non-Euclid memes and content were appearing, nothing to do with the game or me studying.

      I have so many moments like this on hexbear and lemmygrad, too. I will be doing anything that hasn’t been mentioned or done on this site/fediverse, and it’s not even related to the news or anything, and then people will just talk about it.

      I also notice that some days people in traffic will all simultaneously be more aggressive or more calm on a particular day for no apparent reason, and my spouse will be in another state delivering loads and experience the exact same behaviors 99% of the time.

      Tangent done

          Ah man, I did a reverse image search to see what reference you were making, and apparently it’s from an anime video game series called Zero Escape. I haven’t consumed much of any anime content, but this does look interesting. I accidentally saw an image that revealed the answer before I tried to guess. At first, I thought it was a mangled cross in a busted birdcage upon first glance. If I had known this wasn’t some Rorschach test and that there was actually something in the image beyond abstract black shapes, I may have had guessed it correctly within a few minutes. Now we’ll never know, I failed you.

            Haha yeah, since you mentioned morphic resonance I thought you might guess it correctly first try. The zero escape trilogy is the only place where I’ve ever seen that discussed so I’m surprised you don’t already know about it. That picture is from the first entry, 9 hours 9 persons 9 doors, a DS game that I recommend if you’re interested in this topic. (just don’t play the remastered version)

            In case you're curious about the lore (and to be clear, this is made-up):

            That image is from an experiment that scientists conducted to test the existence of the morphogenetic field. That is, whether or not people can communicate with each other through a shared subconscious. This dog picture along with a similar abstract image was shown to a control group to determine how likely one is to interpret them correctly. Then, the dog picture was broadcasted along with its solution across the country. Afterward, the scientists conducted the same experiment in a completely separate country and they found that, while the success rate for identifying the unpublicized picture stayed the same, the success rate for the dog picture increased dramatically.
