We must remember him on 8/12 every year, the real world will not.

On August 10th, 2018 at 1932 local time, a Horizon Air Q400 turboprop plane (N449QX) was stolen from a maintenance bay at the Seattle Tacoma International Airport. The individual responsible was subsequently determined to Richard Russell, a 29 year old ground service agent for Horizon Air with no known training as a pilot. As the aircraft began to taxi and take off, it did not respond to any attempts at communication from air traffic control (ATC). Fearing the worst, NORAD was notified and a pair of F-15C fighters were dispatched on an intercept course from an air base in Oregon. Once in the air ATC was able to begin a dialogue with Russell, who made a number of odd remarks such as claiming he wanted to “do a barrel roll” which were widely circulated on social media after the event. After nearly 2 hours of flight and stating that he was going to “put it down now,'' the aircraft crashed into a forested area of Ketron Island in Puget Sound, WA, at 2043.

While the event caused flights across the region to be halted for hours and spurred a months–long investigation, it highlights a potentially broader issue and raises other concerns. The FBI investigation found no clear motivation to Russell’s actions but given that he had ample opportunity to cause civilian casualties and chose not to, it is unlikely that he had malicious intent. However, the question must be raised, what if he did? If Russell had a desire to inflict violence like perpetrators of mass shootings or if he was radicalized by a terror group, there would very likely have been more than one casualty on August 10th.

On August tenth, 2018 at 1932 nearby time (0330 UTC), a Horizon Air Q400 turboprop plane (N449QX) was taken from an upkeep straight at the Seattle Tacoma International Airport. The individual dependable was along these lines resolved to Richard Russell, a multi year old ground administration operator for Horizon Air with no referred to preparing as a pilot. As the air ship navigated and take off, it didn't react to any endeavors at correspondence from airport regulation (ATC). Dreading the most noticeably terrible, NORAD was told and a couple of F-15C contenders were dispatched on a catch course from an air base in Oregon. Once noticeable all around ATC had the option to start an exchange with Russell, who made various odd comments, for example, guaranteeing he needed to "do a barrel move" which were generally coursed via web-based networking media after the occasion. After about 2 hours of flight and expressing that he was going to "put it down now,'' the air ship collided with a forested region of Ketron Island in Puget Sound, WA, at 2043.

While the occasion made flights over the locale be stopped for a considerable length of time and prodded a months–in length examination, it features a conceivably more extensive issue and raises different concerns. The FBI examination found no unmistakable inspiration to Russell's activities yet given that he had abundant chance to cause regular citizen setbacks and decided not to, it is far-fetched that he had malignant expectation. In any case, the inquiry must be raised, imagine a scenario where he did. In the event that Russell wanted to exact brutality like culprits of mass shootings or on the off chance that he was radicalized by a fear gathering, there would almost certainly have been more than one loss on August tenth.

He probably felt a roller coaster of feelings doing what he did. I wish I could feel like that ever again, my biggest fear when I was a kid was going on pilot mode forgetting myself and as I grew older that pilot mode turned on far and far more.

Rich: Hey do you think if I land this successfully, Alaska will give me a job as a pilot?

Air traffic control: You know, I think they would give you a job doing anything if you could pull this off.

Rich: Yeah right! Nah, I’m a White guy.

Not actively but I listen to a lot of Alan Watts. It all comes down to not taking things too seriously. There's no meaning, no plan, no right or wrong. There's no point in getting up tomorrow, no point in continuing to live, just as much as there's no point in ending it right now. It's all about the experience, but you somewhat stop experiencing once you lose yourself in your thoughts, in your mental perception of the world, in this mess of ideas and assumptions. But that's not what the world is. It just is, with no subjectivity attached to it. No good, no bad. It just is. You live here and now and this won't change. There's no future, there's no past. Those things are just abstractions. All there is is the eternal now. Don't force things, get rid of this inner tension, all this emotional attachment crap. Don't hang onto things, Just let go. Only this way you can be free. How would you feel is this all was a super realistic computer game, vr gta or whatnot? That's how you're supposed to feel about the "real" world.

Funny thing actually, only after listening to a shit ton of Alan Watts philosophy I started to understand what this scene is about.

>>16388251
>stop doing things no point no plan let go
>without money you die

Yeah maybe you can do all that mindfullness when you have a 100% stable income to survive, but for most, me included, we have to think about survival and what we need to do to not have a shit life (no money)

>>16388251
>Alan Watts
The guy is so conceited, can't listen to him.

>>16388324
This type of excuse stems from the same mindset my post is arguing against. You're living in your head, Anon. You're not experiencing the world, you're being pushed around by it.

>>16388427
Yes, he really loves to shit on christians. It's funny af.

>>16388363
Actually Im a neet that doesnt do anything, the world barley has the strength of the wind from a 5'0 asian girls ass on me right now. But It doesnt matter how much I let go (I do) it doesnt change my income or my skillset. You need to have been in the position of many different peoples situations to have the authority to know how everyones mind should think. Those guys like Watts or entrepreneurs or 'successful people', namely anthony robbins, all knew how to be successful, they knew what to do when and where and thats why they became rich and famous, nothing else. You think people with fucked up bodies who are ill as fuck and basically dead can do fist pumps and let go to become well?

>>16388363
I've lived on the road, hitch hiked, hopped trains, I was free or whatever faggy shit you want to call it, but guess what? The looming feeling that brings us all to this board, the one that says yes, you actually need money in this life to get anything done, no matter how much acid I took or whatever bullshit perspective I was listening to, it never went away. It's ALL a fucking meme, so with your attitude you might as well kill yourself so you can reincarnate to a better life am I right?

Would it be gay to get a tattoo of that plane silhouette? It would be a good normie filter when the happening occurs.

>>16388492
No that's stupid, you may as well get a frog tattooed on your nuts.

>>16388448
From his wiki "Watts was a heavy smoker throughout his life[59] and in his later years drank heavily.[60]"

It turns out hard alcohol is more efficacious than transcendent meditation and smooth talking.

>>16388579
How dumb are you? So... his words are empty and he is conceited and you thinking that listening to him is "not actively" something like yoga or meditation is fucking retarded.

>but he likes to shit on christfags
that wasn't even edgy when he was doing it, now it is even more irrelevant and pathetic.

>>16386764
speak for yourself

>>16388648
>How dumb are you?
You mad? Should read some Alan Watts
"So?" because it's a non issue. What's wrong with drinking and smoking? Your points and "arguments" only have validity in the framework of the life philosophy he's arguing against. You all (you and those other 2 tards above) don't seem to get his perspective. At least he can logically explain his stance while you only resort to "muh fee fees"

>>16388717

Watts said he wanted to enjoy life as much as possible and wasn't necessarily looking to be enligthened. But I agree its kind of retarded. But I would not really call him a rolemodel anyway. Look at J. Krishnamurti instead.

>>16388868
No, don't look at any of these retards. Just go back!! Why is it so hard?

I haven't looked all too much into his stuff but he definitively has some points where I agree but also others where he loses me. He's on my to do list though
