What do DWAVE quantum computers, alien movies, and 16th century mysticism have in common? Did entities give a scientist in the 1500's software for a computer that wouldn't be built until 500 years later? Watch and find out.

In this video I discuss the idea that two people can have completely opposing views of reality that are both true but incomplete. I throw in the techniques from several psychologists that can be used to inject into these worlds and I throw in some tie-ins with voodoo. https://www.patreon.com/ThePattern

In this episode I describe radio and sound waves, talk about some historical documents and studies on their effect on humans, discuss weird weapons, and tie them to people’s experience of the paranormal.

In this first video I will describe the idea of Virtue Inversion which is the process of taking a person who desires to live a particular virtue and redirecting them towards an unexpected or undisclosed end that they wouldn’t normally support. I use as an example a campaign to collect petition signatures in the name of environmentalism but actually was in support of a billionaire resort.
