fnord

plurk is blank, try reloading

fnord is a concept put forth in Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus! trilogy

that there is a secret word, which all people are conditioned at a very early age to suppress awareness of

so that whenever you read it, you feel a surge of anxiety and suppress the sight of it

the purpose of which is to direct attention

meaningful text is filled with fnords, ads are fnord-free

the word is not actualy "fnord"

fnord is used as an analogy for it, because if the real word was used, you wouldn't be able to read it

i just feel like if you had the coordination to do something like this you should be using it to make people feel more uncomfortable with leaking state secrets on War Thunder

nah the war thunder thing is on purpose it's a double psy op

you'd have to get started early. Maybe in ancient sumer.
