I'm a 45-year-old neuroscientist and I've made a breakthrough so significant that it will most likely grant me Elon Musk tier fame and fortune. But there's a problem: if I ever come out in public, you guys will cancel the shit out of me.

When I was 19, I was an edgelord who said questionable things online. In my defense, it was a very different time and hindsight shaming is kinda flawed. By today's standards, I would definitely be labeled a pedo, a racist, a misogynist, a transphobe and all that stuff. And yeah, a motivated person can definitely dig that shit back up. I can already see the headlines and Twitter posts so clearly it's insane.

This is a very interesting conundrum when you think about it. There are so many celebs who fuck up and get cancelled, but in my case it would be the other way around: I was initially a nobody who had fucked up, but later rose to a significant position in society. What bothers me about my future cancellation is that they won't see the order of events. Revealing my past isn't exactly some new information or a new scandal but they'll try to play it out like that.

TL;DR: Humanity itself will decide whether I will be a Nobel prize winner or a shunned pedo. This is no longer even in my hands. This is in Twitter's hands.

>muh cancel culture is a foregone conclusion
I don't know if you've noticed but the president is a child rapist and everyone who complains about getting cancelled is usually doing it from their podcast or netflix special. You know Musk wasn't the one actually making any breakthroughs right? We're actually pretty bad as a culture at recognizing scientists outside their academic circles unless you lean into it deliberately and try to cultivate a public presence.

>I was 19, I was an edgelord who said questionable things online
This is definitely more common than anyone growing up during the advent of the internet really cares to admit. I wouldn't really worry about it man, you're in good company with almost every other dude your age.

>a motivated person can definitely dig
Are you an asshole now? Who exactly do you think is going to be THAT motivated?

>Humanity itself will decide whether I will be a Nobel prize winner or a shunned pedo
I've got great news about a lot of Nobel Prize winners!

But seriously, stop opining about made up hypotheticals like everyone's least favorite drunk uncle, I thought you were a neuroscientist. What kind of breakthrough are we talking here?

You're probably just having a manic episode and/or anxiety attack, but it's a good idea to clean up your OPSEC anyways. If you still have access to accounts, go in them and delete as much as you can without fanfare. It's pretty likely nobody is going to miss 25 year old posts, assuming the site is still even online. You can also take advantage of modern privacy laws (California Consumer Privacy Act [CCPA], EU GDPR, "right to be forgotten", and others) to de-list yourself from people search sites and demand sites take down your posts. Archive.org at least honors requests to de-list websites and make their archives of them inaccessible to public searches. This is normally used for hate group sites, but you can take advantage of the policy for personal privacy. You won't get everything, but you'll make it really fucking hard for the average d0xxer to get you.

And going forward, try not to be a fucking retard on the internet.

This. There were regular CP threads on /b/. Yeah, on this very site. The Internet was a VERY different place just 15 years ago and people were very different as well.
Nobody wants to admit this, nobody wants to talk about it, but most of us were unfathomable monsters by today's standards. And I don't mean that most people condoned the CP threads, I'm talking about all the other stuff. We raided websites, hacked news sites, nearly made youtubers kill themselves.. anons made headlines all the time. And it wasnt serious. Like, nobody ever got sued because the Internet wasnt real. It was just comedy. Now you go to prison for text onilne.

Kids today dont know just how much more relaxed and allowing Internet culture was back in the day. Literally everything flew. If you got offended, it just meant you got successfully trolled. Nobody even uses the word "troll" anymore. They just get offended.

As stated in previous posts, I dont get this.
How can you be hindsight judged?
Like, what if the use of the word FARTBOMB is super taboo in 2035 and people will doxx me for using it right here and now in 2025?
I have no way of knowing that it will become taboo.
Fucking normies are so fucking dumb.
Like, if I fuck an 18yo today but they raise the age of consent to 20 some day they will say I'm a pedo even though I did something that was acceptable in my day

Can nobody do math anymore? If you said "questionable things online" when you were 19 and your a "45-year-old neuroscientist" (I mean obviously you're not, this is all hypothetical right?) then the posts you made were TWENTY SIX FUCKING YEARS AGO! For the innumerate reading this, that was back in 1999.

Did you actually sign your real name on usenet posts? Nobody did that, especially if they were saying anything "questionable". The internet was truly anonymous back then, there was none of this bullshit "sign in with your Google or Facebook" account stuff. Facebook didn't even exist, Google was just an emerging search engine competing with others like Webcrawler, hell MySpace hadn't even been invented, the closest thing to it was those free geocities webpages and you could sign up for those with no real world identity verification. The internet of 1999 was so different it is almost inconceivable to people today. Boards like 4chan are literally the only thing close to the way the entire internet used to be.

Anyway, Nobel Prize winners have already been cancelled for wrongthink, the most notable example is James Watson who discovered DNA. (pic related) The difference is he said things that went against the modern narrative publicly, and after he had been awarded the Nobel prize.

So yeah, I get what you're trying to do here OP. You're showing a hypothetical situation where modern cancel culture impedes human progress by denying reality and suppressing truth. But you really don't need hypotheticals for that, and it's pretty obvious that the people in charge (who must not be named) are doing everything they can to turn the world into a nightmare dystopia.

Fuckin' hate narratives.
I genuinely think homosexuality is more unnatural than hebephilia. Not calling it pedophilia because labeling normal behavior pedophilia is not accurate and is again part of the narrative.
The narrative says that homos are not harming anyone, but a 16yo girl just magically breaks from having sex with someone 2 years older than her.
Most people have adopted this narrative.

Just based on the goofy logic infused in the entire post it's safe to say you haven't actually made any sort of important breakthrough, the two scenarios are you think you have but are mistaken and you're just shitposting for attention.

The views on all of these things like what you listed are not organic, they are artificially and intentionally introduced to cause societal damage like many other concepts, rich pedos are in charge of keeping their potential stock untouched post sexual maturity. The percentage of virgin 18 year old girls is staggeringly low. How will they properly blackmail politicians if they can't demonize and control their intended and inherent attraction to those past sexual maturity?

None of this is a surprise, it's happening all the time. You probably thought you parents were backwards and wanted to do better. Your parents probably thought your grandparents were bad and they would be the ones to usher in change. People always think what they believe right now is the truth and will lead us to the future, everyone in the past is just stupid and evil for not realizing the obvious reality. The fact is it's bullshit all the way down. We're all just victim of whatever psyop of the decade being push and we'll all act like it's a scooby doo mystery when the establishment suddenly switches things up and acts like nothing ever happened. Don't waste your hatred on the zoomers, it will happen to them too.

I often think about this and it pisses me off.
Fucking hate listening to pro-LGBT arguments when I _know_ that even if the arguments somehow make sense, it's just because absolutely everything can be made to sound like it makes sense and LGBT is just the current version of PsyOp
I hate how NOBODY sees the big picture:
>gay is bad, marrying 12yos is good
>gay is good, marrying 12yos is le ultimate bad
>gender binary
>no no no gender spectrum now
>God exists, this is known
>haha we have science and smartphone we dont need magic sky man

All these opinions just follow some kind of sine wave. Just live long enough and you'll see taboos become the norm and the norm becoming taboo.
What I want everyone in the world to understand is this: your thoughts are not your own. Your opinions, your feelings, your ideas.. you didn't come up with them. You're not smart enough to invent stuff like atheism. You were simply brought up in a time where you were indoctrinated with atheism + LGBT + leftism. 100 years ago you would of been a different person, like it or nut.

No Sir. I'm just looking at the data regarding the most outspoken homophobes in my country. All the Catholic Priest and Boy Scout shit turned out to be true, and now we have the Grindr servers fucking crashing in whatever city the RNC gets held in. It's pretty funny actually. I couldn't make this this up if I tried, people would tell me it's too on the nose. But yeah, all the most outspoken homophobic men here seem to always have cock on the mind.

Listen to yourself. We've seen a whole lotta animals fucking each other in the wild, on top of all kinds of actually fucked up shit, and human history is literally full of gay shit from start to finish despite active repression. Homosexuality is a constant for us, sorry, but it's a weird thing to get upset about. Gay people fucking each other consensually in their own homes doesn't harm any straight people. Just a weird thing to worry about in the first place.

If it comes up, keep this in mind:
"That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it."
