please help. I like my stepbrother and respect him. But recently he has been delving into "esoteric knowledge" or "secret knowledge" w/e the fuck you want to call it. Some of the things he talks about include the "New World Order, Ancient Aliens, Chem trails, Lizzard Men" and things of that nature. Most of them being crazy baseless conspiracy theories with no evidence to back them up. I feel like it is just a bunch of fear and paranoia which drives him to believe such things. The worst part is my best friend is collaborating with him as well. It seems like it is turning into a cult like obsession for my step bro. I would't really care under normal circumstances but i seems like its affecting his every day life. He doesn't drink tap water anymore because he thinks the govt puts chemicals in it to kill us. He won't eat meat because for fear that it will damage his soul. Essentially he thinks that everything we understand in this world is fake. A book called "That Code to the Matrix" from the author James Evans Bomar or "Sevan Bomar" is a text filled with nothing but conspiracy theories, aliens, mythology, religion, cults etc. There is absolutely not a shred of evidence in it at all. I think its a crock of shit. I like to call it the Tinfoil Manifesto. This book is essentially his bible. Does anyone know anything about this kind of thing? Sevan Bomar? Esoteric knowledge? Is there any relevance to it? It seems like hes gone too far down the rabbit hole to come out. Please help. Thanks.

Call him a faggot after you suck his dick

They who know do not Speak.
They who Speak do not know.

Your brother is smart. A shame you're not like him.

Lizardmen aren't a conspiracy.
They'd fuck your shitty space marines up.

Well...
your bro is rly smart looking into things like that. I suggest an orgy with your friend and a bro as medicine for you.

I'm sorry but your stepbrother seems to be stupid. There's no cure.

Also if you want info on this kind of bullcrap, why not ask /x/

>>6
because /x/ is filled with people who believe in that nonsense.

Please take your tinfoil cap and leave this thread.

Whatever you say, you little roach

I know 2 people who believe in this shit and one of them is schizophrenic. You should suggest to your parents that he might have a mental health problem but don't say anything to him about it.

pretend to be into it, watch stuff related to it with him and critique it, question it constantly, make reasonable arguments to explain your position and hope that by doing so you can make him see things rationally.

P.S. My boy here MasterCheif would rape those big fatties.

He can dodge bullets remember.

spartans are more in line with kasrkin than astartes. Limited genetic modification, not something superhuman just a very heavily enhanced human with high tech gear. Astartes are functionally immortal, can eat rocks, spit acid, are AT LEAST 100x as strong as a spartan and AT LEAST 10x as fast with gear that's AT LEAST 10000 years more advanced. The only context in which Chief would win is if he was against unnamed marines in a halo game where you play as him, because plot armour.

I've known people that went through a short phase of this strange thinking. It's not always permanent, especially if he's an adolescent. Teenage brains just think strange thoughts and have weird beliefs and sometimes people lose them in adulthood. Other times it takes a great deal of humility to examine whether or not the beliefs are actually true, and in the case that they are false or do not hold up to scrutiny, have the guts to admit that your beliefs were wrong.

I pretend to be mildy interested in it when hes trying to convert me. I propose intelligent counter arguments to him. Nothing seems to work. Like most religions i think that HE thinks if you cant prove it doesnt exist than it must be true. Its hard to make someone who is delusional see reason.

Spartans are essentially space marines with 37 thousand years less genetic snd technological innovation.

Maybe it's time to be blunt, then. Just tell him you think his beliefs are weird and you think they're conspiracy theories, but that you are ok hanging out as long as he keeps it contained in conversations with his peers.

Once you see the truth you won't be able to go back to normal. It's too late.
