Anyone remember TSUKI and their cult? Whatever happened to them after a year has passed?

I lost faith in him once he delayed the date. Seemed like he just wanted more time to get more followers. The stuff with him getting blackmailed or whatever and him actually only being 16 years old didn't do much to help his case either.
I'm still registered but I don't keep up with it anymore.

Tsukichan is the site. It's up currently. They introduced a new eid system and registration. Idk I don't follow the lore closely enough. I think Tsuki delayed the date solely to collect more Bitcoin donations.

He's able to delay it because LFE isn't real.

I never said it was real. I'm saying he's collecting money to keep the LARP going.

To add on to this, I think he may have shut it down due to pressure that he may be inspiring kids into a suicide cult. I can say definitely that it wasn't a suicide cult, but the pseudo-religious lore he was crafting, combined with a "doomsday" date where no new souls would be created, definitely could inspire cult suicide from the gullible.
I myself was just in it for the comfy Lainposting on a cool website. But Tsuki really dug himself a hole. Nowadays the boards are mostly dead, because the entire community was fractured and left in the dark after the first shutdown.

The thing that really fascinates me in TSUKI was the way people just went along with it. Is it really boredom which pushed people to join it? Or irony? Curiosity? Or just general directionless? Desire to be a part of something? Or perhaps a combination of these factors?

Bitcoin miner abused people with below 70 IQ nothing new

it's the same deal a Q posting on Jow Forums. it appeals to the mentally ill or dispossessed who are finally hearing what they want to hear. tsuki is very good at keeping the facade up so impressionable lonely failed normalfags and fellow schizos lap it up

Possibly the same reason people voted Trump. Boredom and desire for something better despite knowing better.

Q posting worked because of the "holes" in reality that the internet makes. Q can drop any info at any time, it gets trickled in at only the most convenient times to spur outrage. Because of this, and because of mass urbanization making people dumb to the laws of nature, a false hyperreality is created.
I would argue that all religions are forms of this hyperreality preying upon the low intellect. Tsukichan was probably one of them.
Beware hearing what you want to hear as opposed to what you should hear.

How could one possibly differentiate between ''oughts'' and ''wants'' when they've grown twined together - especially in the hyperreal age you just mentioned?

The thing with TSUKI was that, as I recall, he admitted that he had schizophrenia, and that he wasn't sure whether the project was his schizophrenia playing tricks on him or a genuine ''revelation''. But sure, I agree that people hearing what they wanted to hear might've played a key role in this project. However, it has become increasingly difficult for people to differentiate the ''real deal'' from pure fiction.

maybe if you're a schizo or double digit IQ

Hyperreality was the thing Lain was actually trying to warn us about.

Basically to counter it we have 3 options:

Go Amish mode and abandon the internet. This saves your soul in the short run but you are still at the mercy of the machine.

Abandon your soul to the wind and embrace daemonhood. Lose hope for the future? Lose hope for humanity too!

Connect people in a way that prevents dehumanization and falsehoods from spreading. This may very well be an impossible dream.
