I'm not sure if you think Armok's joking. I can almost guarantee you he's not.

[GlyphGryph]

Wait, so are we talking about Armok or the video?

[Jackrabbit]

Armok, I think. The video has some good points, at least in my opinion, but it gets a bit over the top. That said, it looks like they're overdoing it for humor.

[Armok]

I'm not joking, but you people are misunderstanding quite badly what is being said. The video communicates truth, but as I said it's not literally true when interpreted in plain english. yes, it's "over the top", but that's not just for humoristic effect, magnification lets you see details you wouldn't at 1:1 scale. Same trick is used in many technical visualizations. There are numerous other things like that.

UMMMM, i have a question about that video.  He says, reporting from "Wisconsin", that "people are protesting the corrupt kingdom"......but the protestors WORK for the corrupt kingdom.  The protests are about them wanting even more of the money that the corrupt kingdom has. When they make more on average (by far) than the citizens of the kingdom allready.  I am confused!

LoL

Hilarious, could sir. Almost believed that you were serious for a minute there!

Feel free to explain how you interpreted it, then, because I'm pretty sure your views and ours vary wildly.

I'm sorry, I must have been educated stupid.  Tell me more about the four simultaneous 24-hour rotations in the one true time cube day.

[Criptfeind]

I never got the four part.

Two would make such more sense to me.

If you are willing to split it by dawn and dusk, what stop you from splitting it at say eight oh clock and tea time?

Three in the afternoon and 4:15?

One at night and my birthday?

[Soadreqm]

Yeah, Armok. You could just tell us what this video looks like through your kaleidoscopic insanity vision. I bet it's something like the Malkavian Madness Network.

[Armok]

The entire point is that somehting like that video is a much faster and easier way to communicate it. If you watch your daily news every day from some reasonably unbiased source and more importantly, actually make friends with some random people online from all the corners of the world and get some primary accounts of things that happen, and then follow up curiously any peripheral sources from there, you should arrive at the same conclusions after a few months. This is just faster, someone went through a whole bunch of information and did the work compiling it into an enjoyable summary, there is no magic super-secret intel. Yea there are plenty of organizations doing that this one just does it better if you happen to be in the right target audience.

[Criptfeind]

Right right right.

We still want to see the rose tinted crazy.

What are they saying?

[fqllve]

They're saying that a five minute Bono Parody Interlude is totally actually news guys.

[Soadreqm]

The problem is that nobody here can understand what is being said. It's hard to estimate whether a form of communication is fast or slow when there is no communication taking place.

Yeah man

Yeah I FEEL dat

Dat be the realest, man, it's real real

I think it's time we lay down some beatz y'all

Let's get real, man

Unh unh unh unh yeah just like dat

Throw some BASS on dat trick

Yeah

Yeahhhh

Communication, man, I need to address the nation, here we go

Yo brotha brotha brotha let me serve y'all up
Some hot information-coffee in yo' porce-brain cup
If ya grok the code, just nod ya headz
Cuz this 'ggregation sensation done sort out what's been said

It's eleven-eleven on yo' clickety-clock,
And the news of the day is at ya door tryin'a knock
But the tubes of the you are sayin' "Dis ain't encrypted,"
"Revolution is comin', y'all do ya best to resist it!"

So if ya serious eels wanna play truth or dare,
You best not get in tha water cuz we enhancin' ya scale
It ain't literal truth but it's da best dat we got,
So I'mma wish you the best in dis Orwellian plot







...Or, I could just say that no, a humourous rap video is not the quickest form of communication nor a reliably accurate information source, despite what my Orwellian oppressors would have you believe.
