Yeah I get this feeling everyone is collectively giving up, because a lot of people see the writing on the wall. There's a general malaise, waiting for the next big bad thing. I think people also just want this fucking election to be over. People are stressed out, sleep-deprived, underpaid, overworked, or can't find work. Many people are losing hope because they realize the path we're headed on as a nation. It's stressful and lots of people are on drugs, both legal and illegal, to calm themselves that also that cause them to pay less attention to their surroundings.

People are just overloaded. Like brain overload. I see it on so many people's faces. Our culture is just overwhelming and everyone has so many problems that they weren't expecting because the economy is so bad.

I like that you keep track of the numbers, I really enjoy that kind of quantitative analysis because it's rock solid and can be repeated if the theory distracted driver is true, which I believe it is. Except for that mandela/cern stuff, which I'm going to assume was a joke. Poe's law makes it hard to tell sometimes

I used to kind of buy in to it, but then I realized there's a reason GLP is headquarters for this kind of thinking, and that it's little concidence there's speculation GLP is the CIA's TAVISTOCK internet disinformation program.

Haha, you're always on the ball. I see it everywhere, people are sleeping at the wheel, metaphorically. Like they're sleeping through life, just consuming and taking in all of the lies and propaganda. The only time a little life comes into one of them is when I question one of the lies. These people have been taught it's never okay to be angry unless its someone questioning mainline thought. I see it all over this website too.

Ding ding ding! We got a winner

Narrative narrative if you're not on the same narrative well then you're CRAZZYYY!

I have seen the same for a while in Michigan, even the cops don't signal anymore. I am not sure it is a conspiracy, but it is dangerous.

This is because the game 'caches' models. Maybe our universe has caching features also called social behaviors or events

This simulation saves RAM when it can. It's why 11, 22 and other master numbers pop up everywhere. It also explains certain synchronicities.

According to Tom Campbell, our universe is finite.

Personally, I don't know. But I guess our universe can be a finite thing among an infinity of other finite things.

When more people do something, it becomes more acceptable. "Everyone's doing it." The 100th monkey effect is real.

once we notice, we tend to notice more and more.

propaganda against china is pretty big right now. fuck if i know why. but now more and more people are going to be mean and unappreciative towards chinese and you wont notice it but itll be in peoples body language.

i think this has to do with rupert sheldrake's concept of morphic resonance and a shared memory btwn species

Or maybe you are thinking about this way too much.

Mandela effect. People in parallel universes don't use signals.

lol +1

I always thought I was the only person who used the turn signal.

FYI: reddit spam-filters that domain. Had to manually approve.

A few days ago, I was driving behind a cop, who took the turn into my neighborhood (he / she lives there as well), without even bothering to use a turn signal. It was a left turn, and the cop must have known that I was driving behind. I'm still thinking about it to this day... The whole double standard aspect of it. If the situation was reversed, I would've definitely gotten a ticket. The cops in my area have nothing better to do than issue tickets for bullshit reasons. I'm actually still angry, and desperately wanted to pull the cop over in my neighborhood, but that would've ended badly, hehehe.

Today, I was stopped at a red arrow, waiting to turn left, and the suv in front of me just straight up turns on red. It was safe, no cars were coming, but that got me thinking about the psychological aspect of doing that. These small acts of rebellion, in a society that we feel so powerless within. Also, the suv turned right into a development shortly after, so it wasn't like he / she was rushing to get somewhere. It was clearly a small rebellion of sorts. We feel so hopelessly trapped within our lives, within a system which only wishes to enslave us even further, that we turn to these micro rebellions. I actually do that as well, within my day to day life, in many ways. I'm not sure if it's healthy or not, since it's just a form of self-pacification, but that's the thing... we don't know what else to do.

holy shit... this is my favorite post of all time

I think I notice a trend in this too, im in southern california... will keep tabs on this now! very interesting.

This is super weird that I came across this post because I was JUST thinking this same exact thing tonight on my way home.

synchronicity.

I really appreciate seeing your post about this. I have noticed within the last two weeks that driving has now become really... terrifying. There was always the one reckless driver who crossed 4 lanes of traffic, but the frequency has definitely increased. More than that, I'm starting to also see more major car incidents on the road.

I experienced a few close calls to the point that I was convinced I was going to be in a car accident myself. Probably self-fulfilling prophecy, but I got into a minor parking lot incident last week. And I pride myself on being a decent driver.

I like the thought that a fellow commenter mentioned, that it might be a "collective conscious" deal. It's hard to maintain a positive perspective when I feel bombarded by the anger and general dissatisfaction that I believe is manifesting itself on the road. That being said, it's always darkest before dawn. Perhaps people are waking up and this is merely the beginning of real change.

Keep safe OP.

Im behind you on this one, meaning, I agree. I noticed more accidents recently than ever before and I've had more thoughts on collect consciousness theory and have experienced it first hand. But another thought I had was strange was a fear of driving. Usually i just drone out when I drive but I found this thought to be very peculiar.

Great post, love the cern theory! Parallel universes are such interesting thoughts to entertain.

Dude you really need a vacation.

I hear ya https://fatguyonalittlebike.files.wordpress.com/2007/03/att152561.jpg

Maybe it's not caused by something so deep, people probably are just too lazy. I'm definitely an offender of changing lanes and forgetting to signal until I'm already over. (Probably not the safest habit)

people probably are just too lazy.

So, why did they turn lazy? OP's point was the change in behavior.

I have, but I just assumed that somewhere in the last 9 years of being away that people stopped using them around here or that they're so used to driving on back roads that they forget to use them on the main ones. It wasn't an issue for me when I was still living in Utah a few months ago, but it has been in Arkansas since day one of moving back. It's funny you should mention it when all of us are beginning to notice the same thing. I wonder what the link is. Facebook usage? Television? Alcohol consumption? I don't know, but with the current state of things I can't imagine why people would just hand a police officer an excuse to pull them over like that.

What if Western civilization collapsed, but the bureaucracy managed to keep anyone, even themselves from knowing?

Is this about to happen, did it just happen, or in all likelyhood: did it happen some time ago?

No, I meant without time travel and CERN universes.

I meant what would be seen as culture/society itself fell apart, but the world kept moving without noticing as bureaucracy propped up the nation. What would create art, culture, genuine political movements, etc.. real human interaction and connectedness has fallen away. However, enough infrastructure is in place that we can still go on as consumers so no one has noticed.

Apparently 2018 models of cars will not have blinkers cause they are obsolete if no one uses them.

Come the fuck on dude. Create a thread in which you let us know everything that you're "keeping track of in a notebook." You've dropped that line multiple times. You're seriously writing in a notebook as you drive on the highway?

You're taking the upvotes you've received for some decent posts to your head.

Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

well I always use turn signals but I have noticed and uptick of people who don't.

I think these "my road" / "you aren't there" behaviors are a litmus test for the coming shitpocalypse

agreed, they are just totally self-absorbed and don't care about anything but "my road yo get out dem way"

I'm starting to honk at people now even though "it's rude in the south", if they are ahead of me in a one late and they slow down to turn but don't signal. Why shouldn't I, they're not only breaking the law, if I didn't see their brake lights, I might hit them.

I think this is significant, AND a conspiracy because something is happening that is very strange. Perhaps everyone is so pissed off that their suppressed anger about what's happneing in america is manifesting itself in road rage type passive aggression.

Honking your horn at people under the illusion that doing so will compel them to follow the laws is also a passive aggressive behavior.

They are not your responsibility. We are all autonomous.

New cars don't come with blinkers. /s
