Nexus Void Hey everyone, I decided to remake an older video to make it more accessible. I also combined part 1 and 2 into one video. In this video we examine Jaynes’ theory about the true nature of consciousness and why he believed that consciousness is a product of our complicated language structure. All of these ideas belong to Julian Jaynes in his work The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. One quote is also used from Carl Jung’s, The Stages of Life.

Pope Francis Gets Self Thrown Into Hell As Part Of Plot To Take Down High-Level Demon Ring
September 16, 2020 • theonion.com
THIRD CIRCLE, HELL—Claiming that going deep undercover within the adversary’s organization was the only way to destroy the nefarious horde of fiends, Pope Francis reportedly had himself thrown into Hell Wednesday as part of a coordinated attempt to take down a high-level demon ring. “Sometimes the only way out is through,” said the pontiff shortly before stabbing a sodomite with a concealed blade that he had smuggled in from Limbo in an effort to be placed into an even deeper circle and gain the respect and confidence of high-ranking demon bosses. “It took a minute for them to trust me, especially with my background. I know the street-level guys, the flashy ones, everyone does. Still, all the rank-and-file imps were pretty tight-lipped about which hellspawn were actually running the operation. But ever since I stopped Belphegor from eating some tainted brimstone at one of those big family dinners they love so damn much, they seem to think I’m okay.” At press time, Pope Francis reportedly expressed concerns that he may have gotten in too deep after finishing a scuffle in a popular Second Circle hangout by curb stomping the damned soul of Pope Boniface VIII.
NEW VIDEO SHOWS INSIDE OF NASA CONTRACTOR’S PROPOSED LUNAR LANDER

Lander Model
Alabama-based military contractor Dynetics has revealed a full-scale model of its human landing system (HLS), designed to return NASA astronauts to the Moon as early as 2024 as part of the agency’s Artemis program.
The model, about the same size as NASA’s Apollo moon lander, is meant to provide engineers with insight into how astronauts will interact with it during actual missions to the Moon. A flashy video even takes us inside it.
Foam Cutouts
This model is definitely not going anywhere. As the video shows, the different control modules meant to be used by astronauts to control the lander are essentially pieces of foam taped to the inside walls of the model, which can be easily moved around to find the best layout.
“The flexible design is readily reconfigurable, allowing the human systems integration (HSI) team and flight crew to review and provide feedback on early concept designs and execute quick-turn iterations,” reads a Dynetics statement.
The HLS Contract
Dynetics promises its reusable lander is affordable and will dramatically reduce the costs of lunar exploration. As part of that effort, the landing system is designed to carry a wide variety of payloads including habitats, science experiments, and pressurized rovers.
The news comes after HLS contract competitor Blue Origin delivered a full-scale prototype of its human landing system to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in August. SpaceX is also still under contract with the agency to develop a Starship configuration capable of landing on the Moon.

Should the Dark Triad Become the Dark Tetrad?
Arash Emamzadeh
Is sadism distinguishable from psychopathy?
Posted Oct 11, 2019 (psychologytoday.com)
THE BASICS

Psychopaths (charming, ruthless), narcissists (arrogant, entitled), and Machiavellians (deceptive, calculating) all have a tendency to act cruelly and take advantage of others; therefore, the traits of psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism are commonly referred to as the Dark Triad. In an article published in the July-September issue of the quarterly Journal of Individual Differences, Canadian researchers propose the replacement of the Dark Triad with the Dark Tetrad—the main difference being the addition of subclinical sadism.1
Sadism means deriving pleasure from inflicting pain. A sadistic person “humiliates others, shows a longstanding pattern of cruel or demeaning behavior to others, or intentionally inflicts physical, sexual, or psychological pain or suffering on others in order to assert power and dominance or for pleasure and enjoyment.”2
Sadistic people are low in emotionality, honesty-humility, and agreeableness; that is, they have little empathy, are manipulative, and are hostile and vindictive.1 Previous research has linked being sadistic to the enjoyment of other people’s suffering. The sadistic person does not have to be the cause of the suffering to derive pleasure from it. For instance, he or she may enjoy the suffering of a character in a violent video game or a violent movie.
One argument against replacing the Dark Triad with the Dark Tetrad is that sadism is too similar to psychopathy. The present research examined whether this was truly the case.
The Dark Triad or the Dark Tetrad
The study’s sample included 615 students (143 males) at a large university in Canada. The participants had an average age of 18 years (range of 17-43 years).
Measures included:
- The Short Dark Triad: Measures Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism.
- The Comprehensive Assessment of Sadistic Tendencies: Assesses verbal, physical, and vicarious sadism.
- The HEXACO Personality Inventory-Revised: A measure based on the HEXACO model of personality).
Results showed that subclinical sadism correlated significantly but negatively with emotionality, honesty-humility, conscientiousness, and agreeableness.
Parallel analysis of 45 variables—using assessment results from the Short Dark Triad and The Comprehensive Assessment of Sadistic Tendencies—provided support for the extraction of six unique factors. These factors, which explained over 45% of observed variance, are listed below (along with a sample item for each):article continues after advertisement
- Psychopathy: “People who mess with me always regret it.”
- Machiavellianism: “I like to use clever manipulation to get my way.”
- Narcissism: “Many group activities tend to be dull without me.”
- Physical sadism: “I enjoy physically hurting people.”
- Verbal sadism: “I enjoy making jokes at the expense of others.”
- Vicarious sadism: “I love to watch YouTube clips of people fighting.”
As expected, subclinical sadism was also correlated with the Dark Triad of Machiavellianism, narcissism, and especially psychopathy; this is not surprising, given that these four factors share commonalities. Psychopathy was most strongly linked with physical sadism because both variables are related to dominating and hurting others.

Differences Between Psychopathy and Sadism
So what is the difference between psychopathy and sadism?
Previous research suggests that enjoyment of cruelty is a central aspect of sadism but not psychopathy. The violent behavior commonly associated with psychopathy is more likely to be reactive (reaction to provocation) or instrumental (e.g., to obtain money or gain access to goods). A sadist, however, does cruel things not for reactive or instrumental reasons but because he or she enjoys cruelty itself. So torturing an innocent person becomes its own reward.3
Concluding Thoughts
The current study found sadism to have a weak-to-moderate correlation (r = 0.23–0.68) with the Dark Triad of Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism, but to be distinct from them. Indeed, the magnitude of this relationship is comparable to the magnitude of correlations between Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism (r = 0.32–0.54). Therefore, the findings of this investigation support replacing the Dark Triad with the Dark Tetrad—Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, and sadism.

Conservative Evangelical Asks God To Give Her Strength To Incorporate Forced Hysterectomies Into Belief System
September 15, 2020 • (theonion.com)
CORDOVA, TN—Praying that the Lord Almighty would help her understand the recent whistleblower reports about Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s treatment of migrant detainees, conservative evangelical woman Melissa Carson reportedly asked God Tuesday to give her strength to incorporate forced hysterectomies into her belief system. “Lord, show me how the forced removal of the uterus from multiple imprisoned women is evidence of our salvation by grace alone,” said the devout evangelical woman, scanning her Bible for a verse or two that might offer a reason for why ICE-affiliated physicians were performing hysterectomies on detained women, many of whom did not speak English and were not given information or choice about the procedures. “I know I’m asking an awful lot of you, Lord, but my religion teaches me that all life is sacred, and although I know you move in mysterious ways, I confess I am confused as to how forced hysterectomies fit into that. You are just testing me, Lord, and I know that, but I am going to need a little bit of divine help to understand this one.” At press time, Carson was praising the Lord for his guidance after remembering that the hysterectomies were completely justified because President Donald Trump was a divine being simply carrying out God’s will.
