New Members: Introduce yourselves here Showing 501-550 of 1,228

[Michael]

Sounds fascinating Luke. Right up my alley. I looking forward to reading your book.

[Jim]

I only read The DaVinci Code. I probably would have liked it if I hadn't read Foucault's Pendulum which is way better.

The Devil's Prayer sounds fun. I hope it does well.

[Joshua]

Hello I'm Josh and I'm new to this site. A friend referred me because I'm writing my first book about an experience I had with God. If you would like to read a little of it vist https://t.co/fGPeRj7bcY

[Lance, Group Founder]

Welcome Josh.
I suggest you brace yourself for feedback on your experience with God as I'm sure fellow members will want to know more.
Let me start the ball rolling by asking... Have you heard voices before? Were you drinking or under stress at the time? And are you absolutely sure it was Him?

[Christopher]

Hello I'm Christopher I am new to this kind of thing . This is the first time that I've ever been in a discussion group. I am into this though I really don't know what to say. I have an interest in suppressed knowledge I believe that there are many things big corporations and government agencies are hiding from everyone an example would be free energy I think Nicola Tesla had the technology to do it and look what happened to him

[Kathy Lois]

Hi! I am Kathy and truthfully I haven't read much of conspiracy books. Nevertheless, I formulate conspiracies in my head every time a see the news. I find links in the uncanny and see the world as a convuluted plot waiting to be discovered. Things happen for a reason and they all add up to something bigger.

Hi I am Lee from England.
I'm interested in many of the subjects you cover on here although I am quite sceptical on some of the topics I hope I can learn a few things whilst I am here.

Hey Lee - Nothing wrong with healthy scepticism. Hope you enjoy the group. Oh and by the way...welcome!

Hi Tanya. Fellow authors always welcome here. In case Undergrounders wonder what your book has to do with underground knowledge, here, for their interest, is an excerpt from the synopsis:

"Utmost Love, is about finding love in its fullness, and is written with a wealth of warmth, love, passion and excitement. The story highlighted lives with great difficulties. I’ve drawn on personal experience, with individuals who were affected by motor neuron disease. Supported by letters, messages and memories."

I suspect you'll find our Medical and Genius Intelligence discussion threads of interest...

[Oscar]

There is a provocative, iconoclastic political book out now called "The Rantings of An Uneducated Reactionary." Oscar J. Phillips.

Please,check out my website :
richardiiiandallill-treated.simplesite.com,
There and in my only important book,Shakespeare Made Me Love RichardIII, I claim very unpleasant things about the world we are living in.Great art and literature should not be regarded as a form of simple entertainment or something far from pragmatic reality.But it is regarded so, because brainwashed,unthinking people are very convenient for the Establishments of supposedly democratic regimes,which are not what they claim to be.The real Shakespeare deals with these problems,so he has been outrageously misinterpreted.

The sun shines only when the clouds disappear.And if the message of great thinkers and creators like Shakespeare and the legacy of historical personalities is not set right,things get worse all the time.I want to call other people's attention to the huge possibilities the misinterpreted Shakespeare's so-called 'histories' offer to set right the 'time'which is 'out of joint'.(Hamlet)

Welcome Talha. I share your concerns re Syria, It is yet another tragedy unfolding before our eyes...and the media coverage is biased every which way.

[[deleted user]]

What about the 'gloom and doom' in connection with Syria?Sadly,the world we are living in,is very cruel and unjust.
But not only the physical tragedies matter.The moral and spiritual-intellectual ones are at least as important as the physical ones.This is why I am a stout Ricardian,having fallen in love with Richard reading Shakespeare.
Shakespeare is not only misinterpreted to serve the British Establishment,but he actually depicted the huge responsibility of the selfish masses,who believe the lies of power,just because this is comfortable,'living is easy with eyes closed ( quote from John Lennon)
Here my issue has a connection with Syria,and all the other ill-treated suffering creatures,humans or others.
As far as the bias of the BBC is concerned,I wrote to them in the spring,when they published many stupid,superficial articles about Shakespeare because of the anniversary.I called their attention to the misinterpreted Shakespeare.They didn't even answer. Then I complained.To my complaint a very friendly answer came,that really,,the concern I raise is important,so they spread my original email inside the BBC, even sending it to their managers,and they suggested that I contact other departments of the BBC,not the have your say link I had contacted originally.I tried this,and again--silence.
At the same time look at their website--all those idiotic,unimportant news!
We all have the responsibility to fight for the truth,not to be like Shakespeare's Bottoms,Shallows...
But we are in a difficult situation.When you promote a cause,even a basically scholarly one,like mine,people think that you want to promote yourself,or just to sell your books or other stuff.
I posted elsewhere here,on Goodreads,that an official group should be dedicated to authors who represent causes.I hate talking about myself,when I contacted the BBC,I suggested them to take a look at the misinterpreted Shakespeare without mentioning me by name.
Of course,this is also difficult,after all it is necessary to know who the people are behind a thought,an idea or a cause.
Anyway,if Goodreads does not start an official group of causes,
perhaps I will start one.

Enough already. What is it with Shakespeare? Not sure where he fits into a group on underground knowledge...

[[deleted user]]

I appreciate the open-minded attitude of Talha,but I think it is sad if Lance does not understand what Shakespeare has to do with underground knowledge.the fact that the greatest playwright of the world was not what has been taught about him for centuries,that his real message was distorted by so-called 'scholars' who only wanted to overzealously serve power,where does this fact fit?
I deal with the scholarly aspect of the matter,but official institutions maintained by the Establishment reject these ideas.I discovered that the same thing was done to other authors who wanted to restore the real Shakespeare.
If Talha says that the BBC lies about Syria,and I say that they are biased about Shakespeare's so-called histories,because RichardIII stood in the way of the villain, Henry Tudor,who became the 'founding father'of the posterior Brutish Establishment,these two statements reinforce each other.,

Hi Jyoti. Great to have you on board.

[James]

Good evening everyone. I’d been searching for communities of knowledge-seekers, rational skeptics, counter-cultural custodians and critics, and, (as John Cage put it), fellow “students in the school from which we’ll never graduate.” I’d plugged several subjects of interest into Goodreads’ engine, and was intrigued when this group populated as the only result for not one but several of my queries.

I’m an app developer by day and a journalist by night, an INTJ, media archivist, and a music scholar.

My principal subject of interest is the focus of a book I’m writing on a web of interrelated subjects surrounding Copyright Reform, including Open and Free Culture, Copyleftism, Kopimism, piracy, file sharing, digital privacy, and their impacts on previously-established commercial models of media distribution.

My views resonate with several of the community’s recurring topics, including counter-nationalism, the medical industrial complex, the Fourth Reich, government corruption, criticism of the World Bank, discussions of universal income, media manipulation, our exploitation of the third world, the drug war, hacktivism, and religiosity. I’m also fascinated by Bernays’ manufacturing of consent, consumer culture, planned obsolescence, and the media culture which fosters it.

Politically my value set best aligns with elements of anarcho-collectivism and libertarian socialism. I’m currently reading Marx and beginning to explore Chomsky’s writings as well.

I’m looking forward to inspiring discussions in the group!

[Jim]

Welcome. I'm also a software developer and politically in your general area. I hope you have fun here, it's a good group.

Edited to add, I don't use the word Libertarian. In the US it has come to mean a Republican that smokes dope rather than an anarchist.

[Maverick]

Hi,
My name is Bob Maverick Stanford. I am about to release (Nov. 1, 2016) my next self-published non-fiction book, co-authored with the book's subject, John Willie Partee. 1st release will be on Kindle and paperback formats.

The Book's title is "I Stabbed James Earl Ray 22 Times - A Militant's Prison Justice on the Man that Assassinated Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr."

I appreciate the opportunity to associate with this group. I've been reviewing many of the posts with great interest. I look forward to interaction with many of authors here.

Kind regards,

Bob "MAVERICK" Stanford

[Roxanne]

Hi, my name is Roxanne, I've just been invited to the group....I'm always interested in different ideas, opinions, and theories. I just finished reading "A gathering of Shadows" by V.E. Schwab. A young Adult fantasy book...I'm going to read book three when I can. On my bed stand for me to begin reading is " Seven brief lessons on physics" by[ Carlo Rovelli. Once something peaks my interest I'll read it.

[Helly]

Hello all! My name is Helen. I love reading everything and anything that gets the mind going. :-) I believe that an investment in learning "pays the best interest" and more people should do it (via reading)! Glad I found Goodreads just last month, loving it!

[Lance, Group Founder]

Welcome Roxanne and Helen...and any new Undergrounders we've overlooked!

[Stjepan]

Hi, my name is Stjepan. I'm from the Croatian, and I've just invited to your group. I read a lot of conspiracy theories and watched television shows about it. Especially I am interested in the history of humankind and the universe in all respects. One thing is sure; nobody could say that we are alone in the universe. Another thing we did not know our history away from a couple of thousand years since that all of for us is unknown. There are frequent attempts at concealing or reducing discoveries tell us that we may once have been more advanced than what we think today.

[Graeme]

Hi All,

I'm Graeme Rodaughan, I enjoy reading and writing across the Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror genres.

I look forward to seeing you on the threads.

[Stjepan]

Thanks, T. I'm glad that I invited to the group. :)

[[deleted user]]

Way cool discussion group, and thanks for request for me to add! :-) I'm sociologist of education with interest in sociology of knowledge/sociology of science. Also Holy Trinity of race, sex, class. My partner is a philosopher of science who wrote a book with "underground" knowledge in its title! (I can't be objective as I edited it, but when it came out Cohen at Boston U with phds in both physics and philosophy called it one of the top books of the year in the field. The Holistic Inspiration of Physics: The Underground History of Electromagnetic Theory. Mostly, I'm interested in the politics and economics of secondary and postsecondary education, both in the US and globally. Thanks!

[J.J.]

Hello - I decided I needed to branch out more on Goodreads and this group sounded right up my alley. I'm an author, teacher, photographer. I read a wide array of books from fantasy, sci-fi, horror, to presidential biographies, US history, pre-history speculation, to the early formation of Christianity. I prefer stand alone books but will get involved with trilogies but nothing longer than that - too many other subjects to delve into.

Hello everyone. I was looking around on goodreads for a group with people who read non-fiction, intelligent, self-help, biographies and I am certainly not disappointed! I have not been on goodreads for very long, but I am very inspired here.
I am a student of energy engineering in Aalborg, Denmark, and I just recently, this summer, started reading. So far I have read around 12 books, and I have never felt better. Nice to meet you all.
