Has anyone here heard of David Icke? (have I spelt his name right?)
His main theories, as far as I’ve picked up are this:
Everyone who’s in power in the (rich) western world is not actually human, but actually a reptilian shape-shifting alien. They’re supposed to be the planets original inhabitants. This includes Goerge Bush, Tony Blair, the entire Royal Family, etc. Soon they will take over the world.
Don’t know many details, but that’s not important. What I dislike is the way people dismiss him as a nutcase just because it sounds crazy. I mean people saying the world was a sphere in the middle ages would have seemed crazy. We discuss far wierder things on this site such as ‘do only I exist?’
What if it is true?
I mean, there’s is something definately ‘lizardy’ about the Queen, and Prince Charles, and George Bush, don’t you think?
I don’t know. I just can’t see Queen Elizardbeth as a reptillian alien. Whoops, did I say E’lizard’beth? Maybe she has control over my brain waves. I guess we’ll never know until they take over the world and make us succumb to their evil lizard ways!
Seriously though, is this guy for real? Kinda sounds like L. Ron Hubbard’s Scientology stuff.
BTW, I like the brazilian woman in your Avatar. I share your sentiments.
Yeah, if this dude is for real, then I think he is a nutcase. Sure it is possible, but so are a lot of things possible. That isn’t saying very much about anything.
Do only I exist is not a metaphysical question, it is an epistemological question…and as such, there is nothing whatsoever crazy about it.
However, if he is using reptilian in a metaphorical sense, then I would probably agree with a lot of what he has to say…
Haha, Thanks for bring back some funny memories!!!
Also, do you remember one of the most popular TV show around that time in England??? ‘V’ And what did the aliens look like. They where human looking but under there skin they where Lizard!!! I wonder where he got his idea???
V is a great show…one of the best aliens take over the world movies I have seen. I recorded them from the series when I was probably 10 years old and I still have them on tape.
david Icke was a goalkeeper for Coventry city before becoming a sports presenter on BBC Grandstand. Then he went “loopy” and claimed to be jesus then when nobody believed him he came up with the Lizard idea. Still nobody believed him. As of now I think he has just faded into obscurity.
My impression of Icke right now (and my impression of the world changes weekly) is that he’s stumbled across some pretty crucial information and made a deal with some of the movers and shakers. I don’t think that everyone in power is a Reptile but I have a suspicion there may be a couple of these so called Reptilians around.
See the thing is, the truth is going to get out. It just is, it always does. And with the internet anyone can find it.
So what they told Icke was to take this information and make it bogus, run with it and make some outrageous claims. Which they published.
Google him, he lives in the palm springs or some shit and has like 6 cars.
That’s a common myth - people did not, by and large, consider the world to be flat during the middle ages. Aristotle even knew it was round and he definitely was not the first to observe the moon bearing a shadow during an eclipse.
This is obviously complete nonsense, and shouldn’t be in the philosophy forum. Almost as much nonsense as existentialism (which also shouldn’t be in any philosophy forum).
I have a very dry sense of humour. (always getting me into trouble). While I don’t personally enjoy existentialism nor consider it terribly useful, I do consider it Philosophy in many cases.
Except Satre.
The main problem I have with existentialism is actually a problem with existentialists. They do not tend to argue very clearly - writing in full prose or somehow ‘clouding’ their arguments. This makes it very difficult to know exactly what is being argued. This is also why I dislike a certain German philosopher beginning with ‘N’. While it can be argued that existentialists have “a philosophy” it is barely ever the case that they write good “philosophy” in the progressive, argumentative sense. Sometimes we could call existentialist thinking methodologically ‘fluffy’.
Most of what has been produced is also epistemically unfalsifiable, which is never a good sign.
They are not literally reptilian, but some of them are metaphysically mutated. This is why some leaders do inhuman things, because they are not human, they are mutants who have an unnatural lust for control.
Maybe she has control over my brain waves. I guess we’ll never know until they take over the world and make us succumb to their evil lizard ways!
