 		I'm afraid that's my fault. Yesterday, I was on several different prescription drugs at once, and went on what can only be described as a "blackout." I don't remember much of yesterday, but when checking my outbox on myspace, there are several messages to ben. They are nothing but nonsense, but they're fun to read, anyway.

This is my other theory on the major event that one of us did to change our reality. The Two of Clubs said there were three events that occured and he told me that:

Quote:
"the first one could have been horrible. Could have ended our journey on the spot. But it birthed a new entity. When one soul disappears another is born."


What if Athena's site & Silverladder was really hacked by someone OOG when the Korporation took over? This would certainly create chaos for the cards and could have ended everything if they didn't regain control of the site. But it also would have birthed a new entity- The Korporation.

I may be far off, but I kind of think this is it now. THis is the only major event I can think of that could have ended our journey on the spot, if it hadn't been resolved.


That.... makes a lot of sense.
Especially if the Silverladder group made an IG group based on the hack to continue.

 		That is what I am thinking. To keep it going, they birthed a new entity, like the cards said. A hack is the only thing I can think of that would make the cards say "it could have ended our journey on the spot".

synchronicity and 11:11 - what if it's just confirmation bias? after all, perception is mostly categorization by the human mind, e.g., we see what we want to see. how about this theory: there is a certain arbitrariness to the cards, and the reason we have a causal influence is because of a kind of applied confirmation bias?

i've been thinking about this all day, more specifically about instances of confirmation bias in my own life but then i was like, what about silverladder? what if the reason we have such influence - and the reason things are this unstable - is that there is a certain need for us to make these speculations in order to formulate theories to apply to - and abstract away from - things that are arbitrary so there is synchronicity?

/ rambling Shocked

EDIT: wrote more on this in my lj today so i don't clog up the boards with something that might not even have merit. XD


I would usually think the same, but everything is 11/11. They had to have known about it, at least on some subconscious level, that it was dealing with synchronicity. The theme of 11:11 is used so often that it's kind of imprinted into our brains.

And even if it is confirmation bias- it's still interesting. :3


i was thinking it was more along the lines of - an intentional choice of 11:11 for its being an obvious example of synchronicity. so let's say all the stuff that has happened thusfar is based on a jumble of random stuff that was set up initially, but the reason it has progressed the way it has is due to our categorization of events in our brains as being related causally and conceptually.

 		I found a possible Korp site to keep track of

http://thekorporation.com/

None of the other domains I've tried work.

Also, I'd like to suggest something to change our (un) reality:

THE KORPORATION DOESN'T EXIST

Do I win a prize? ;p

Also, in case some of you are unaware, I have some relevant and new info up on my journal about the relationship between SL and Mage: The Awakening.
Link!

 		my head hurts
real bad
hello all.
i've just spent all day reading through this thread, looking through the silverladder website, and watching the youtube clips.
this is the first ARG i've spent more than an hour or so pondering.
it's the website that got me - intriguing content - and the fact that this might have something to do with Radiohead, who I love.

anyway.

i feel like i might be jumping ahead of things, since all indications point to the website being unimportant, but does anyone think there's a link between the 7 missing journal pages of the dude who wrote Alice in Wonderland (i read that somewhere today but can't remember where), and the fact that there are 7 journal pages on the SL website? (tho one is missing i notice).

HAHAHA. I like that website. It certainly looks like it doesn't exist.

EDIT: it looks like the site hasn't been changed since '04??
