KATIE LUCAS (MAIDEN NAME), I DO NOT CONSENT TO TREATMENT

Dr. Koven of Santa Barbara involuntary inpatient facilities, I do not consent to treatment.

Kelly Soa (Maiden Name), I do not consent to treatment

Zoe Mackay ZACKER, I do not consent to treatment.

Dr. Masa and the staff at Marion Regional Medical Facilities and the greater Santa Barbara/Cruz County areas thank you for respecting my lack of consent to treatment and attempting to keep my brain working (ie. allowing for neurotransmitters to diffuse and bind to their correct receptors at the steady state that my body operates under—whether you think it’s healthy or not).

To the pharmacist at CVS on E Market, thank you for also respecting my current treatment which follows the same treatment I have undergone for the last 10 years minimum and not blocking the medication I am prescribed from working.

To those of you interested in research conducted on my body-Addie Keating otherwise referred to as one of the following names through sophisticated image and video augmentation (ie. “Deep Fakes”):

Kayla Keating, Elly Zaid, Shannon Zaid, Savannah Snyder, Reaghan Ruff, Daria King, Libby Aker, Gabby Dangle, Gabby Rey, Abby Mackay Zacker (ie. Abbie Keating), Zoe Mackay Zacker, Carrie Wagner, Mackenzie McPike (ie Mac/Mackenzie/Kenz/Kenzie Lofgren), Erin McPike, Madison McPike? (Just in case they need someone new), Luciana Rivera Molina, Kayla Williams Pavlantos, Mary Richter, Riley Richter, Madison Richter (or any other cousins that are now POWs to the Lesbian Nazis in my family), Constantine IU, or Edy, EA, your local community college is enrolling for the fall.

Prerequisites to be considered for this study are General Chemistry I and II (no nursing chemistry does not count—you would not be funded by the NIH), Organic Chemistry I and II, Physical Chemistry I and II, Quantum Chemistry/Physics or a Basic Understanding of molecular tunneling, Multivariable Calculus (yes this requires Calculus I and II), Research Ethics, Q-Level security clearance, Genetics, Previous Experience or Funding with the NIH, NSF, etc.

Finally, a verbal agreement that you can in fact refer to me as Ho-O due to a mutual respect for the Born-Oppenheimer approximation prior to learning from the slave tutor, Dr. Addie Keating, PhD while on her road trip “journey”

*Yes the subject does not need the same prerequisites as those “researching” her.

So now that I finished the qanon documentary I have a lot of thoughts but here's one. I wonder what the correlation is between people who believe in conspiracy theories and people who once belonged to or currently belong to a fundamentalist religion.

I say this because it is clear these followers are capable of very intense focus. And while I'm not sure any of them are great at logic they are capable of analysis (looking at the way the parts of a thing contribute to the whole). So it's not that they are just stupid. In fact a lot of the followers might do well in an academic setting if they were able to engage in a good-faith way.

So why are so many of them falling into the obvious trap of only following one source and then using that source to prove it's validity? Well this is something I've seen a lot in Christian fundamentalists and (though I have less experience here) Islamic fundamentalists. My mom is the former and my dad left the latter.

Let's focus on Christians. A lot of the people I know who didn't grow up with or around fundamentalists don't understand why Christians trying to convert you will just start quoting bible verses at you. This is because of the circular logic at the center of the faith. How do we know god is real? The Bible says so. How do we know the Bible is real? It was ordained by God. It might seem obvious to someone outside the culture but when you're fed that as a child you don't question it and that kind of circular logic is encouraged.

There are different logic rules in that world. There's less emphasis on quantifiable information and a much stronger emphasis on moral opinions. Let's be honest my pinned post shows how much I've encountered the same attitude for all of you. Things that would get your paper marked down in college writing 101 are things are considered the height of intelligence in these circles. For another example, when I was an English major I would probably lose points for taking a single line of the text out of context and used it to prove my point. However in church people do that to bible verses all the time. In the brief time I went to such a church we were taught to memorize random verses. Like we chanted "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind" every sunday as a horrifying group of children screaming at the top of their lungs but I didn't learn the story of that verse until later (Jesus is asked which of God's laws is greatest and he says this and "And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."). If I wanted to use that verse to justify that Christians' only job is to praise and love God, I very easily could. But the context so clearly disproves it.

It just feels like a lot of these Q people aren't suffering from a deficit of critical thinking skills, but that those skills have been trained in the completely wrong way. They don't question their fundamental text because they've already been taught that the answers to the universe are out there and they exist within one text which cannot be questioned. It's also why some people seem to believe that Q has some great plan that involves control over viruses and elections even though the official Q origin story is that he's just some dude with a high level clearance. His followers apply much of the dedication to Q that fundamentalists apply to their deity.
