Freeman-on-the-land idiocies

You really don't get this place do you...

Like Uncle Jim, I spend much of my time here under the water swimming against the tide.

If you're not terribly convinced why post?

Personally, I am pretty convinced that those who go on about the influence of the ancient reptilian amygdala are travelling on the Bonkerwoo Line heading for Ikeden Junction.

Had an fMRI scan recently?

 

[8ball]

In which way?

Hold my beer…

Had an fMRI scan recently?

One of my medical colleagues has actually expressed an interest/desire to get a statistically meaningful number of Antivaxers/FOTLers/Conspiracy Theorists/anti-NWO types etc through an fMRI in order to see what parts of the brain light-up when they get engaged with their particular interests.

He's probably got the scientific clout to get the funding/scanner time to do it but he does accept that most if not all of the folk he wants to study are highly unlikely to be willing to consent to the procedure because they would probably be shit-scared about what "Big Science" might want to do to them!

Just tell them they're special and you want to understand why they're as special as they are

They themselves would have an absoloute viral field day with that request. You can imagine it all over telegram: "look, they are trying to do experiments on truthers!"

Oh please get him to ask them!

Like two sheds says, you’d need to frame it as an off-the-books experiment by a fellow-traveller who wants to find out why a very small number of people are able to resist the Illuminati mind control, but I endorse this idea.

I‘d also like to book some scanner time to check out a small number of urbanites if poss. Regular MRI will be fine.

If you renamed something like this the Tru-FOTLer test, I reckon you'd get interesting results: Psychopathy Test - Am I a Psychopath?

 

[ouirdeaux]

Surely an actual psychopath wouldn't answer a psychopathy test honestly.

Results of The Psychopathy Quiz​

You answered this quiz consistent with people who would not generally be considered a psychopath by research methods currently used to quickly screen for psychopathy in the population.
Common Myth: While many people believe that psychopathy is more prevalent among CEOs and Wall Street bankers, this is a myth not supported by any research. While on the surface it may seem that many of the symptoms and traits of psychopathy might lend themselves to positions of greater power, the two are not synonymous.
One of the problems is that psychopaths tend to be pretty quickly "outed" for their antisocial behaviors, because the charm is purely superficial and easily detected over time with greater exposure to the psychopath.

Scoring​

0-12 No psychopathy
13-17 Psychopathy possible
18+ Psychopathy Likely

Yeah, I got 3 as well. It was the trouble with the popo did for me. I'm guessing FOTLers, captains of industry, etc would score quite highly. You just need to give the test a more attractive name to get the FOTLers to participate.

Blocked from China. They fear our superior socialist psychopaths.

sounds also very much like a test for 'are you a current or recent member of the tory front bench?' - and highest score indicates a current or recent party leader...

 

[nogojones]

I don't know whether this is widespread with fotlers, he certainly seems to tick every box - superficial charm, parasitic lifestyle, no thought for others, known to the police, manipulation, no respect for social norms. And of course that 'drained' feeling that you get after encountering him.

My one experience of a fotler in the wild ticked all these boxes exactly.

 

[NoXion]

I'm sure it's possible to design experiments/write questionnaires so that they don't "give the game away" so to speak and thus potentially allow a subject's biases to colour the results and/or their responses. The (metaphorical) blinding of both test subjects and those running the tests has been a long-standing feature of good scientific practise.

I had to deal with "my" fotler today. I had police back-up. Three police officers! I didn't know there were three police officers around here!

He went into hiding but according to the guys on the ground he's sent me an invoice for £100,000 for the trouble I caused. Looks like I'm going to have to sell the house. If only there was some way to avoid paying this big bill.

Did you present him with a tariff of your fees and charges first?

If I were you I would send him a quasi-invoice in the same loony terms and language as these cunts like to use. Tell him he must have you confused with your legal person, who is somebody else altogether, and that the administration costs incurred in considering his invalid request for payment has resulted in a £500,000 charge to him for the incorrect use of your name, and loss of productive time. Or similar shit like that.

Do it. Please do it. It will have no legal consequences to you, and will be extremely fucking funny to see his 'legal retort' to that

ETA: godamn it, beaten to it ^

No. If you start playing them at their own game the whole universe implodes. In a very longwinded, boring way.

Honestly, the man's boarded up his front door and climbs out of the window. His arguments are a lot less entertaining than you're imagining.

Eta - if you lot don't behave, I'll introduce him to Urban. Then you'll be sorry.

Apparently I cannot hide behind my job title and company name, he's going to sue me as a private individual. In whose court is anyone's guess. For people who don't believe in the law, they're surprisingly litigious.
