I've reconsidered this post. It demonstrates the mysterian character using the first and last posts of the time of creation. I do this with some hesitation. I think there is merit in the rigor of using the process of objectivity in assessing information. I've introduced several articles that have provided analysis of the QAnon rise on a different thread, which was also needed to be split off of an ongoing conversation. Use this as a means of perhaps exploring and coming to understand the rules of evidence (key word search) and how they apply to demonstrating and establishing a claim to guilt or innocence, and explore how Rand's contributions to objectivity can be used to shed light on both what is, and what is not objective. The courts are generally interested in if a crime has been committed. Objectivity is interested in in evidence as well, but not delimited to criminal activity.

Could you potentially address a lingering question thus far unanswered? ...which of the Q mentions were made by Q-haters on this site, and if you want to delve deeper, have there been posts made by Ayn Rand haters here as well?

Ha! Per a google alert I discovered that Ukraine has an Ayn Rand Center - Ukraine. Ukrainian politician who idolizes Reagan tries to win over today’s Republicans by Jeff Stein ... Zablotskyy founded the Ayn Rand Center Ukraine to promote the libertarian author and covered his office walls with posters of Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Winston Churchill, with their quotes translated into Ukrainian. I inserted the link to the center, and while it doesn't directly pertain to this war, it was an unexpected find.

Rooting about some more and came across this article from September 2022 QAnon: A Modern Conspiracy Theory and the Assessment of Its Believers by Brian J. Holoyda One of the things that piqued my interest was the rate of speed the phenomenon spread at, reminding me of something else I had seen outlined. Here's How Long It Took 15 Hot Startups To Get 1,000,000 Users A few bullet points of summary: Kickstarter got its 1,000,000th backer in about 30 months Date founded: April 2009 Airbnb doesn't release user numbers, but it reached 1,000,000 nights booked 30 months after launch Date founded: April 2008 Tumblr was aiming to hit 1,000,000 users within 24 months. It hit 1,000,000 blogs in 27 months. Date founded: February 2007 One Kings Lane hit 1,000,000 users in 26 months Date founded: Early 2009 It took nearly 24 months for Twitter to reach 1,000,000 users Date founded: July 2006 Gilt Groupe reached 1,000,000 members in 24 months Date founded: July 2007 It took Foursquare 13 months to score 1,000,000 downloads Date founded: March 2009 Facebook reached 1,000,000 users in 10 months. Date founded: February 2004 It took Dropbox 7 months to get 1,000,000 users Date launched: September 2008 Fab reached 1,000,000 users in 5 months. Date founded: June 2011 Spotify hit its 1,000,000th user 5 months after launch Date relaunched: October 2008 Instagram was downloaded by 1,000,000 people within 2.5 months. Date founded: October 2010 Path (the relaunched version) received 1 million downloads within its first two weeks Date relaunched: November 2011 While not linear, the rate of spread has become faster, perhaps due to informal information supply lines, new releases get communicated more 'efficiently'. The game-theory in conjunction with an interactive conspiracy platform, an informal distribution system that crowd-sources decoding the cryptic aspects of the Q-drops much like the kindergarten game of telephone, where the teachers message is whispered from teacher to student to student to student usually resulting a completely different message from the original.

...one of your posts. You may resume what appears to be an attempt to cherry pick from your QAnon multi platform RPG.

As this split thread stretches into page two, and given the form of your phraseology cited above, which of the mentions were made by Q-haters on this site, and if you want to delve deeper, have there been posts made by Ayn Rand haters here as well?

Considering that reasoning by analogy is invalid, drawing a sharper distinction of comparison is a step toward an objective identification.

You consider the above approach cited to be a sound analogy? How about the converse? The solution is to read Rand directly to grasp her clear and concise writing for one's self, is analogous to reading what appears on the qanon.pub for a similar grasp of how clear and concise the writing is there?

I don't consider it inevitable that those trends will continue, but if they did, sure, collapse woud ensue.

Elsewhere she pointed out that it is philosophy that brings the world to the state it is in. Consider the difference between "What are you fighting against?" and "What are you fighting for?" being couched in regards to philosophy.

The collapse in Atlas Shrugged is/was a prediction to be projected existentially?

I copied and pasted them from a facebook acquaintance who has been tinkering with different inputs. I did not edit them.

Gustav Mahler: Symphony No.4 in G Major, - III. Ruhevoll (Poco adagio). (Audio + Score).

Sorry. Yes, this one just states Russia attacked Ukraine.

In the WSJ, it referenced DOW Chemical as having a team of eight people that used OSINT to anticipate Russia attacking Ukraine, and use the information to profit in an unspecified way. An additional search on DOW Chemical, Russia, Ukraine yielded another 1 of 1 article remaining for: Chemical industry under pressure to cut ties with Russia After the invasion of Ukraine, some of the world’s largest chemical companies are shunning Russian business by Alexander H. Tullo https://cen.acs.org/articles/100/i10/Chemical-industry-under-pressure-to-cut-ties-with-Russia.html Dow, the largest US chemical maker, told C&EN in an email that it has suspended all purchases of feedstocks and energy from Russia. Dow says it has also “significantly reduced its operations and product offerings in the country” and halted investment. It adds, however, that it is still supplying “limited essential goods in Russia, including food packaging, hygiene, cleaning and sanitation products and household goods.” Dow operates a polymer dispersion plant and owns a stake in a polyurethane systems joint venture in Russia. The company says it is providing evacuation support for employees and their families in Ukraine and is also looking to do so for its Russian workers.

Sure enough, it's behind a paywall after having read it once. Here another in a similar vein: Are spy agencies ready for open-source intelligence? By Weifeng Zhong https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/courage-strength-optimism/are-spy-agencies-ready-for-open-source-intelligence

Hmm. I'm not a subscriber. I'll look for a comparable article.

Via Drudge Report, a Wall Street Journal article about a shift from central intelligence agencies to Open-Source intelligence. https://www.wsj.com/articles/rise-of-open-source-intelligence-tests-u-s-spies-11670710806 Warning: Echos of Russia being manipulated into attacking Ukraine are contained therein too.

Why does the question form in my mind about the morality of haranging someone for an expectation of the specific form in which a clear moral statement is to be framed?

Imagine having ChatGPT create poetic quatrains predicting future events. It could provide a feeding frenzy for those who eat that kind of stuff up. Here is an example of a ChatGPT output:

Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony No. 7 in C major, Op.60 "Leningrad" 1080

Germany arrests dozens as QAnon-inspired "Reichsbürger" group accused of plotting to overthrow https://www.cbsnews.com/news/germany-terror-plot-prince-heinrich-reichsburger-alleged-qanon-inspired-coup/ Granted QAnon-inspired is arguably not 'Q' nor QAnon.

'Q' has been discussed in several threads and mentioned occasionally in others: https://forum.objectivismonline.com/index.php?/search/&q=QAnon&search_and_or=or (This post should not to be taken as a contribution to QAnon.) Split from this thread: *** What are the similarities and differences between 'Q' haters and Ayn Rand haters? ***

Obviously I need to work in my delivery, if what I said is to be taken as approving. Is the USA striving to be the role of the promoter of individual rights if their goal is to bring about an unstated subversive ulterior agenda?
