I originally intended "Somehow Not a Blue Öyster Cult Song"to be a one-off tag and yet I can't think of a better one to suggest for this episode...

I was just listening to episode 266: For No One's Consideration, and one of the scripts was about Ashtar and starseeds. The F Plus Singularity draws ever closer.

Frankly i'm surprised there weren't any ghostbusters jokes when it was revealed there was an alien race known as the Akyroyds

Listening to this and catching up on the Freedom Radio hour of Garbage Day creates an interesting contrast. Some commonalities in cognitive dissonance and ignorance, and maybe also racism?

For anyone interested, I’m pretty sure the thing that unites these people that Boots was talking about is theosophy

arguably this was one of the hardest episodes to keep straight, although we already knew there were Aykroyd-ians in the universe

Oh fuck me, Cone Heads was an Akyroid baby? Of course it fucking was, my childhood trauma all makes sense now.

Rough guess, part of it is people coming from a Judeo-christian worldview and not quite giving it up when they switched to New Agery, so in the back of their heads, they still think the Hebrew Bible is important, it's just missing information about the ancient aliens. Part of it is probably also that Hebrew is the oldest-sounding language that most Westerners would be able to pick up on, so if you need something to be Ancient, you give it a Biblical-sounding name. Part of it is also because a lot of ancient aliens stuff is just straight up trying to explain the Bible as if it's a Star Trek episode.

Holy shit. I haven't been able to finish this one yet because I felt like I was becoming schizophrenic through osmosis just listening to it.

Can confirm northern New South Wales is quite culty. Just a lot of cults around there.

Yes, I was not at all surprised at the high Australian content, but general racism, not cults.  :\ Some exceptional joke content lately, there is a lot of laughter in recent eps.

The New Chronology comes pretty close! Endorsed by Gary Kasparov.

Central to Fomenko's New Chronology is his claim of the existence of a vast Slav-Turk empire, which he called the "Russian Horde", which he says played the dominant role in Eurasian history before the 17th century. The various peoples identified in ancient and medieval history, from the Scythians, Huns, Goths and Bulgars, through the Polyane, Duleby, Drevliane, Pechenegs, to in more recent times, the Cossacks, Ukrainians, and Belarusians, are nothing but elements of the single Russian Horde. For the New Chronologists, peoples such as the Ukrainians, Belarusians, Mongols, and others who assert their national independence from Russia, are suffering from a historical delusion.

Yikes. What a coincidence that a russian conspiracy theory of history turns out to be "related" to a lack of Russian imperialism :P

Also I think a lot of times conspiracies just kind of snowball with extra stuff. Wasn't there an F Plus there they talked about how easy it'd be to just slip in some neo-nazi stuff into Concave Earth or whatever? Sadly, for any of these conspiracies it's only a matter of time before some Protocols of the Elders of Zion is mixed in.

That's what I think the term "crank magnetism" refers to. Anyone credulous enough to fall for one conspiracy is likely to fall for multiple conspiracy theories.

I think at the end there Toast was getting ready to tell us all the plot of Xenogears.

Also: deja vu...
