@Arkturos saidI hated the Mule. He ruined an excellent hard sci fi series with his psychic powers.
And now it's 2:53 minutes missing, and some new info from someone who stayed in that very cell or a similar one that there was nothing in the ceiling from which one might hang oneself, and the bedframe (apparently not a bunk-bed) would have been too low to work for self-hanging.
Unfortunately the video editor is probably a dead person walking (no matter what kind of bug- ...[text shortened]... me Bixby.
(I don't know enough about The Mule in Asimov's Foundation Trilogy to draw a parallel.)
@spruce112358 saidTo avoid their cognitive dissonance overwhelming their very being, they have to compartmentalise so rigidly, that cognitive gaps appear in their memory when retelling any event.
Just like the Watergate tapes - another gap.
Boy, Republicans never get tired of creating gaps in tapes, do they? 😆
So if they talk of Epstein committing suicide they develop gaps in their memory where the objective truth conflicts with their believed experience. This is such a powerful force that it actually causes verifiable facts to bend to the will of their self belief, to such an extent that for reality to cope, gaps appear even in recorded media in order to balance out these incongruities. Its like life imitating imagination.
@Earl-of-Trumps saidWow…you are interested enough to make a thread about it but can’t tell me why it is important.
why is it important to me...? are you soft??
3 minutes of the tape was erased/tampered with, proving that there was skullduggery and the DOJ since that time has done NOTHING
and you can't see the importance of it??
Dude, it shows strongly that E[stein was murdered and it was covered up
no interest to you, huh?
Democrats use people like you
@Metal-Brain saidExplain why it should matter to me?
@Mott-The-Hoople
Do you believe Epstein killed himself?

@AThousandYoung saidI have had an SFBC edition of the Foundation Trilogy for about half a century now, but never read past the first novella or two (more to do with me than with Asimov, whom I find to be a sunny and breezy writer).

I don't know in which magazine(s) the Foundation stories were originally published, but if they appeared in Astounding or any other magazine edited by John W. Campbell, Jr., the psychic elements might have been added for the sake of selling to JWC, who had been pushing for more psionics during some stretch of his editorial tenure.
