Doctor: How can I help you?
Gilius: Just watch this video.
Doctor: Does the video show your symptoms or something?
Gilius: Just watch the video.

Doctor: Oh my god! How can we prevent this from happening?

Jurassic Park is a Michael Crichton novel which was made into a movie. It had nothing to do with concentration camps, and everything to do with exploring the question of pushing a scientific concept into reality without fully thinking it through. Crichton was a physician who , before medical school, had studied biological anthropology. His first novel, The Andromeda Strain was written in his final year of medical school.
My guess is you're not familiar with The Andromeda Strain.
Crichton used his scientific background to write compelling science fiction based on abstract scientific concepts wherein he used them to explore the human condition, and the popular culture of his day. Jurassic Park was just an updated version of his earlier amusement park-gone-wrong novel, Westworld, where instead of androids rebelling it was dinosaurs.
Less time looking at movies and more time reading books is a good idea.
No no no! If he reads books he'll soon notice that nearly every single book has a page 20, quickly followed by a page 23. The implications are staggering!

Hmmm...I wonder what's on page 23 of "Tropic of Cancer".

Yeah, it's like falling off of the side of Machu Picchu and you keep falling and falling and then you remember you've never been to South America and you've been doing peyote for six straight days.

Have you looked at a map? The only place North Korea can test missiles is over the ocean. They don't have vast tracts of land for firing ranges. Hell, even the US tests missiles over the ocean.
North Korea firing missiles into the sea doesn't mean anything special.
Are there any safe movies, or movies which debunk "Surviving 2023"

I planted my potatoes and tied my pinto beans this afternoon. It was still a little brisk but getting in the garden, putting my hands in the soil was just what the doctor ordered. He should get out into nature and try growing a few things. Really focuses the mind, makes you forget all this end of the world nonsense about videos and floods and whatnot.

Everything is special if you have enough colored yarn to connect the dots.

Well, exactly. There you are. In that scenario he managed to recruit 1 person, which is a hell of a lot better result than he's managing here.

I just got an invitation on Facebook to join the Illuminati. Pretty exciting.
Just want to check with Gilius that it's legit before I sign up. $50 million and a free house is not to be sniffed at. (Though if they're giving me $50M I imagine I can just buy my own house.)

gilius seems to have disappeared since not any of us watched his poor video and didn't engage in "constructive" criticism.

Perhaps he's been scared off by agents of the Freemasons who didn't like the way he's spotted all those clues they had painstakingly created to be so vague and obscure they thought literally nobody would ever even notice them.

Actually, you're usually pre-selected by the Illuminati. One day you come home and discover a mysterious block of cheese in your refrigerator. Congealed within the cheese is your sooper seekreht membership ring, and skeleton key. The key will unlock every door on earth. Engraved inside your ring is your Swiss Bank Account number where you can access your $50 million. And that's $50 every month.
Sure, we're going to expect you to do nefarious things, but you'll love our dental plan.

Most likely just as many as the rest of us.
A couple of years back the town I lived had an open house day for organizations that you generally could not visit spontaneously. Churches, craft breweries, historic houses and the like. So I visited the local masonic temple. It turned out that someone I knew rather remotely was a member.
I got the grand tour. As I said to my wife when I got home, the whole thing seemed like a silly exercise of purportedly grown men behaving like a bunch of boys. Club house, no girls, secret initiation ceremonies, and etc.
Of course, that may be just a front and they really do run the World and all. But, if they do, they don't run it very well.

Oh, and goats, apparently. Shemp may know.

I think those are the Grangers.
Seriously (well, not very, but maybe a little), given the Grange's mystical agrarian hoo-hah I'm a little surprised the conspiracy theorists haven't lumped them in with the rest. I mean really. Remember the Children of the Corn? Meet the parents! Time to give the old Grange a little popular boost. Once upon a time they had the best group health plan around!
