No aliens are going to show up.

Carol figures out how to cure a localized set of plurbs by blocking the signal, but just as she's about to do something about it she gets absorbed into the hive. This leaves Manny trying to figure out what she's done, probably something to do with the bomb to create an EMF over Carol's location, unplurbing her and a bunch more.

nonimmunes would just replurb on contact, it'd need to be a vaccine/gene therapy which there's no way she or Manos could even hope to make by themselves

>>216941341

>>216941496
they're already here

Walter White being a chemistry teacher with cancer and need to prove that he's exceptional made sense within the story for Breaking Bad. He pushed the plot forward and there were many relationships and tensions to work with.
But with Carol, it's just a bunch of random stuff. Her job, personality, and grief don't really mesh with the core premise of the hivemind. Maybe the conversion therapy thing, but it's so static. "People don't being like converted."
It's like they thought they could combine a jumble of eclectic things to generate a story idea and assume that just because it was weird, it would be good and interesting.

8.613 MHz is part of a band (8815 to 9040 kHz) used for air traffic control (ATC), rather than for general public shortwave broadcasting

Therefore taking your phone off Airplane Mode should deplurb anyone.

Carol showed Manoosoos that her phone was in Airplane Mode so they supposedly couldn't spy on their autotranslate ( she's clueless but lol ). Also the girl in the boonies came back on plurb line after sniffing the Plurb fart gas and falling unconsious without problems and almost immediately. Perhaps inteference from cell phones interfered with the initial plurbening.
Maybe that is why the cellphone systems 'went down' almost immediately. The plurbs disabled them .
Makes about as much sense as dissolving a body in Hydrofluoric acid

I'm only up to episode 6 so there's a chance I'm wrong.

But my wife, her boyfriend, and I's first reaction to the Hivemind is firmly "this sounds great, how do we join?" You can only value individualism as an individual. The effort it takes the Pluribus to stock a shopping centre for Carol shows that she is not an individual, she is a parasite.

No wars, no violence, no heiracrchy, no rape, no exploitation of the natural environment, a steady reduction to sustainable population levels. All good.

In that sense, Carol is a selfish American CatchYouNextTuesday. We hate her.

Lol most the other unjoined were badly characterised. Only the Indian woman (who is living in denial) and Diabate were (who enjoys it because he retains individuality and is a hedonist). The chinks et al. had no characterisation. Carol would more be treated in the sense of 'I understand, but I don't think there is anything we can even do' rather than acting like her very impulse to reverse the joining was itself beyond the pale.

Even if they somehow won, humanity would collapse on a scale never seen before. Being ‘plurbed’ is effectively like being constantly flooded with a super-opioid; anyone who gets unplurbed would suffer catastrophic withdrawal.
And that’s before accounting for the destroyed infrastructure, or the psychological fallout of knowing everyone resorted to cannibalism. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if an entire religion formed around the plurb, people trying to get replurbed, or others imitating it through ritualized ‘plurb larping.’ Humanity would be permanently altered

The alien virus has turned humans into robots and the end game for the aliens appears to be wiping out humanity.

The scene where the main character looks at the long train going across the desert and asks plurb girl where it's going and she gets a sad look on her face and says, it's transporting food.

Because nobody is _producing food_ anymore, humanity is living off existing stocks and when it's gone, everybody will (happily) starve to death.

>>216942854
People asking 'why are they evil?' because war and crime and poverty n shiet expose they only think in terms of the material. The evil of the hivemind for destroying the metaphysical never enters their mind. They aren't willfully malicious, but most certainly evil to a human. Even fucking Diabate who embraces them does so with the fact he knows he will always retain individuality. He'd probably be tempted to blow his brains out if he knew 5 days from now he will join them before pussying out at the last second

no matter the specifics what we can say for sure is that the central plot of the show will not be advanced. character arcs will be reset in order to set up a season 3. question is how many seasons will it take for people to get tired of the show at which point the writers will have to scramble to write a clumsy ending. such is the way of prestige tv

>>216943008
Probably infectious enough to pass through the placenta into the baby with ease. If mother isn't immune, it's pretty much a guaranteed plurby, because she'd definitely catch it before, during or after.

If the baby doesn't inherit the immunity, then it, of course, would get plurbed soon after too.

If it's the father who is immune, then I guess the kid would have to inherit it as a zygote for that to matter, which is unlikely.

Curiously, I guess we haven't seen a case where a female immune is fucking with a male plurb, maybe they are avoiding that.

I'm not sure how exactly the plurbing works, kinda a virus yet not according to the secretary of agriculture but the plurbs didn't really know what was happening at that point either.

I assume its also 50/50, but its not an immune system based immunity.

>>216943223
I don't think the immunity happens through the immune system, the plurb is not a "real" virus, its something else, the word virus being used as a shorthand to communicate the idea (a literal meme).

There isn't a relationship. There isn't even a Zosia, just the hiveminds way of controlling Carol and Carol knows that even though she wants to be in denial.

Carol might try to replurb Zosia but it would be a shallow flaw she succumbs to.

>>216943347
But the plurb is so infections that it's instantaneous, goes through fluids, aerosol, and have the longest half life of every pathogen in media (they spit in food, lick stuff and it still survives for how know how long without a host)

>>216943162
maybe manousos unplurbs some people. some are grateful but some wish to join the plurb again. one of them becomes the main antagonist and seeks revenge on carol and manousos for unplurbing him

>>216943347
>I don't think the immunity happens through the immune system

Didn't say it did. Considering the odds, it looks like a random mutation which stops it from sticking. Same way some people are naturally a lot more immune to HIV. It's not by an immune response either. What I meant is the immunity might not instantly express at the zygote stage, meaning it could get infected then.

And yes, it's not a virus, but we could slice that many ways. It's not a virus because those don't transfer by radio waves. It's also not "conceptually" a virus. But what they injected into rats probably WAS a modified virus containing the RNA code because that's the usual vector used to deliver such loads.
>Because women usually don't fuck everything that's not on a tree on the count of three lmao. Women's reproduction strategy is picking out the best match, men's is reproduction strategy is to fuck anything with a pulse.

Yes, but you could summon your dream husbando, crem de la crem. Which one of them kind of does, except it's another female because she just happens to be gay.

Possible and probable, but that would make it non-reversible on a biological level (only disabled through blocking the radio frequency) and would kill the host and even non-plurbs (even if immune to the radio frequency) over time.

Maybe I'm desensitized (receiving end), but does that really count as rape in nu-speak?
The kiss I mean, sexual harassment and taking advantage, alright, but rape? That's such a strong word connected to corporal violence. None of the scenes imply sexual violence but rather psychological manipulation on both sides?
Sure plurbs cannot consent in the same sense as regular people. But what reason do people have to have sex in the first place? Originally its an evolutionary trait that makes sure the species keeps reproducing, but I don't think plurbs want that for now (they can barely sustain themselves as is). Next reason is pleasure, but plurbs don't necessarily need or actively want pleassure, sure if the chaperone receives pleasure its great for all, but they're literally incapable of feeling discontent or blocking consent.
I don't know, do people have sex to take advantage of someone else? Like assimilating them into a collective that the individual wouldn't want?

Makes me think. According to redditors the plurb is a rapist in more ways than one. The body of the plurb (individuals that have lost their agency to the plurb) are victims of both physical rape (fucking people they probably wouldn't fuck if they had agency) and ... mental ? rape because they lost their agency to the plurb.

so if they can't even kill plants to gather food, that also means they can't even use pesticides and all their living structures are roach infested shitholes

Not really. Zosia explain that they only share awareness and data, not physical sensations/sensorial stimulus. Zosia had the pleasure of the sex, 7 billion plurbs received her memories and info like a memo
>Zosia is fucking Carol
If anything 7 billion voyeurs due Zosia memories being uploaded to the hivemind.

There's plenty of routes the hivemind can use to plurb almost everyone of the immune:

>Manu - when he was passed out they probably collected blood samples. Or while picking the spikes out of his spine they probably already have his stemcell.

Son isn't immune. Whatever mutation makes her so, he either didn't inherit or at least express.

I keep seeing it posted but it makes no sense. They're a hive mind, if you isolate some of them those Plurbs would just become their own separate hivemind and you'll just have two hiveminds now.

The first person to get Plurbed was still effected by the virus too, so even if you put them in individual Faraday cages they'd still be infected.

It's in their body, the signals are a symptom not a cause. Stop posting dumb shit.

There are no black people in this show. Can we just appreciate that for a moment?

>>216946278

The radio signal is what links them telepathically, poopbrain

>>216946428
Africans aren't black?

>>216946449
Typo, I meant separate them, so out 3 or 4 of them in a Faraday cage together.

A single person truly isolated would still have the biological imperative to spread the virus

I hope season 2 is slower.

Season 2 Episode 1:
The camera follows Carol's shoes as she walks out of her house and into her garden.
She stops in front of a pretty flower and places a tripod easel.
She places a blank canvas on the tripod and picks up a paintbrush.
Cut, multiple hours later:
The Georgia O'keefe inspired painting is done but noticeably wet. The last 45 minutes of the episode is literally watching paint dry.

>>216941341
The bandwidth of a signal or system is generally calculated as the difference between the upper and lower cutoff frequencies, expressed mathematically as B=fH−fL, where B is the bandwidth, fH is the higher frequency, and fL is the lower frequency.

We can consult Manousous's table to find an upper bound for the bandwidth of the Plurb's signal ( at least in that frequency range - perhaps they have multiple channels/antennae - Bloodworms have copper teeth so maybe Plurbbed individuals have grown antennae it
s biologically possible.

Brave's AI says

Converting bandwidth to bits per second in radio communications requires knowledge of the modulation scheme and signal-to-noise ratio, as bandwidth alone does not directly determine the data rate. According to the Nyquist formula, the maximum data rate is given by Data rate=2×Bandwidth×log
2

(M), where M is the number of signal levels used in modulation (e.g., M=4 for QPSK).
Alternatively, the Shannon-Hartley theorem provides a more realistic upper bound: Data rate=Bandwidth×log
2

(1+SNR), where SNR is the signal-to-noise ratio.
The actual bit rate also depends on the number of bits per symbol, which is determined by the modulation order; for example, 64-QAM carries 6 bits per symbol, so the symbol rate (baud rate) is the bit rate divided by 6.
Therefore, to convert bandwidth to bits per second, one must know the modulation type and channel conditions.

So we can use Manousous's table to find a ballpark data rate at the frequency he tested.

Again there might be more frequencies used, but maybe that frequency is like LoRa/Meshtastic. Maybe they can communicate at higher rates at other frequencies closer together.

I would need a screenshot, but Manouzeus was scanning the airwaves with his ham setup and found the Plurbs' channel. It showed a list of negative results and one where he heard signal.

The negative result higher freq is fH then there's the frequency in the middle with the plurbs' signal then fL is the lower negative result. The bandwidth of the plurbs' signal on that channel can't be bigger than fH - fL. Then you can find a plausible bitrate for thought transmission using that channel by using whatever it was Brave's AI spewed. Looks like basic arithmetic. I don't think they can think videos. Probably just text. Pictures would be slow. AT THAT FREQUENCY. There's no certainty Manousous found all frequencies used. THey might have higher data rates at higher close range frequencies. Maybe they do 5g up close. But they would want to minimize energy for transimission. long range low energy meshtastic stuff is low Mhz What is the bandwidth of an FM radio station? was Manousous' table comparable? Would have to research that. Braves AI says it's 200khz bandwidth. But the actual bandwidth consistent with the show is shown in Manousouss table.

Lower frequency = longer range but the size of the antenna gets larger with longer frequency.

Brave AI says a quarter wavelength 8.6 mhz antenna would be 8.72 meters long. Yikes. Better not science too much. This is Hydrofluoric Acid to suspension of disbelief. Just roll with it.

the plurb should automatically know every survivor. take manousos as an example: his mother was infected but he wasn't. even if manousos was hiding when everyone was infected, the plurb would still be able to infer that manousos existed. the plurb would have memories of manousos but the plurb wouldn't have HIS memories. therefore, he must still be out there somewhere uninfected.

plurbs are mind fucking everyone to either join or avoid discovering their big project through distractions.
They take advantage of character flaws. Great concept but it's falling flat hard.

All my NPC family members were gushing over Pluribus at Christmas dinner. I had finally had enough when my libtard cousin, to everyone's approval, extolled Vince for his "trenchant deconstruction of modern society's dependence on AI systems" yet gently rebuked him for "graphic depictions of sex involving non-consenting and/or non-sentient partners". I swiftly rebutted by mentioning the various plot holes and issues with pacing that I copied verbatim from /plurb/, but they just glowered at me like the plurbs did at Carol when she drugged Zosia. More family members started to trickle in and stand idly with a listless smirk. I was critiquing the cheap tactics Vince uses to raise suspense and his over-reliance on the average female viewer's perceiving Carol's nasty millennial-tier cynicism and vulgarity as admirable quirks, and further how this would have the opposite effect were the main character a Straight White male, when I noticed the room was now full of languid bystanders gazing intently. While delivering a scathing refutation to my aunt who wasn't even listening I slipped while referring to the title and accidentally said "Pluribussy" which caused her to seize violently before she dropped dead. They all wept in stilted synchronicity and I slipped out to avoid embarrassment.

I dont agree that it unconditionally is rape unless the original personality is latent underneath "plurb control"
if however plurbed brains work in the non-controlled sense where being plurbed means the personality was modified and the plurbed personality became the new normal (and does not require persistent renforcement like being drunk or drugged)
then this is just a fancy version of your own personality and opinions drifting over time as a response to experiences/stimuli (sleeping, talking to people, meeting people)

silly comparison but take covid - I feel more tired and got less bothered by things after having had it so I could totally see myself consenting to stuff after covid that I would not have before

this is all moot if it turns out (it seems like that is what direction they are going) it is more like mind control than value drift though

it contained a virus that supposedly modified the biology of the infected
so the question is whether it is a suppressive modification or if it is a shift/replace sortof modification

in the suppressive case curing it means relinquishing control and giving it back to the suppressed mind
in the replaced/value-shifted case it means shifting back sortof like changing your mind on something
one case is rape by most standards
the other is arguably consent

>>216954048

>If you are drunk
this is the former case agian
being drunk is a kind of oppressive state of mind where the chemicals of the drunkenness is inhibiting your real consciousness

if their consciousness has been permanently rewired (and lets not be dishonest by comparing it to being vegetative/braindead - the plurbs are clearly rational) then their current consciousness is their consciousness no?

>>216954270

it is only really compulsion if the mind wants to say no but is unable to
if the mind is 1:1 in the same state as somebody who would have normally consented you cant really call it being compelled

No, it is consciousness under influence of the virus.

The virus is a weapon to clear up planets for Ayys, it's not a good thing.

It's an extinction virus with a social manipulation vector

>>216954270
also bear in mind we have several hypothetical scenarios in play here
so the circumstances and conclusions can completely change if the premise is different

>>216954367
yeah this is what I am talking about
you cant squash all the scenarios into a single scenario categorically make a one-size-fits-all conclusions
be very explicit about your assumed model for how being plurbed works on the mind before calling it e.g. rape

Chinese Pluribus viewers I saw discussing the show on Red Note have an interesting theory about Manousos. They believe he was a plurb who got freed after he accidentally got exposed to that signal he's searching for on the radio.

In the beginning the plurbs said there were only 12, then awhile later (after Carol screamed and froze them all) they said woops there are actually 13 now. He screams in the guy's face on the couch while playing that signal on the radio, trying to expose him to the same circumstances where he broke free. Only the audience knows the formula originall came from a radio signal, Manousos a self storage operator wouldn't know that unless that was part of how he got freed from the plurb.

Prions have RNA, or indeed any genetic code
Good idea though

>>216954463
It explains a lot. The change in numbers from 12 to 13, why he's so obsessed with radio signals and not eating the shit they bring. When he was part of the borg he learned all about how it spreads. His hatred for the borg must mean being plurbed is like a living hell, so from his perspective just killing them all would be like mercy.

>>216954367
>And big plot point is that it can be reversed.
>Like you can reverse being drunk.

this is if you assume the virus is still in the body and is some kind of parasite on the mind that suppresses the original consciousness
your conclusion is perfectly fine in that case

if on the other hand the virus has the result of making new brain connections and somehow merging the brain with the hive
and in essence being like a mind altering life experience of sorts that gives you new perspectives
then no you cant immediately call it rape like in the first case
even granting that it is "reversible" that is in this case more akin to learning new things and changing your mind once over (plus being disconnected from the hive)

it kind of feels like the show is going with the former given the attempts to like get to the person with "wake up I know you are in there"
so if this turns on to be the case I think we both are in agreement

>>216954490
Don't* have.

>>216954463
More likely he just did not interact with anyone when plurbing started.
Tuning into radio channel itself would not unplurb anyone, they probably need to broadcast something specific on that channel among other things.

>>216954505
the writers might also realize that oh fuck these implications are not good and beeline for a less morally contentious angle

>>216954463
like anything chinks come up with, this is retarded and falls apart as soon as you look at the evidence.

>>216954463
But then why not show him deplurbing? It would make for interesting tv
No reason to hide that till next season

>>216953665
At best it's morally equivalent to necrophilia.

You will live in the community center.

I can hardly believe that "Raban the haughty pirate" acted all placid and calm like Zosia does.

>>216954369
We're not sure exactly, orabout the specifics. It could be
We DO know that Manousos was on to something when he detected a faint signal at that frequency when he was in Paraguay. Said signal was strong when they were seizing
We also know that they communicate with their bodies' intrinsic electromagnetic field (Zosia mentions Carol's is unused). My conjecture is that, under normal conditions, they communicate at that faint level, and when they're seizing the hive is trying to "strengthen its grip" with the same frequency, only stronger. Think of it as normal talking volume, and screaming volume
If electromagnetic waves are involved, people may remember Faraday cages from high school physics class. Inside a Faraday cage, the electromagnetic field is completely isolated from the exterior, essentially cutting it off. One of the electromagnetism books that Manousos borrowed was about Faraday cages I believe

What happens if you're unplurbbed and keep all the memories.

Like the memories of millions of child molesters.

>>216954369
The Implication is that The Plurb signal can be exploited in some way. Maybe they'll sabotage it by jamming it or sending false signals, maybe they'll hijack it and tell the plurbs to kill themselves.

Manousos is what happens. He's a former plurb.

>>216955044
If he was, they would have shown it
>They're saving that for season 2
They're not

The writers of the show did one funny thing in making Carol the most stereotypical lesbian, her dream relationship is literally shared bubble baths and saunas beaches and ski trips glasses of wine. Just constantly around water. It's like the writers were like "what would lesbians like to do for fun". The fact that the original relationship was two old lesbians named Carol and Helen was pretty funny, too

>>216955011
She said they broadcast to each other through some sort of electrical signal. At first I thought he was just picking up on the signal from space over the radio, but I guess it picks up the signal the plurbs broadcast to each other. Not sure why hearing their signal over the radio would unplurb someone in conjunction with screaming at them to momentarily jam their receiver.

>>216955088
Revealing stuff in this way is a lot more interesting. If they just introduced him as a recovering plurb right from the start it would have been boring.

>>216954463
A couple other things the Chinese viewers thought was meaningful. At the start when Helen and Carol are outside smoking and everyone gets plurbed, the camera very deliberately shows the pack of the cigarettes on the ground. Seems to be some significance there. Also the plurbs are extremely concerned about both Manousos and Carol staying hydrated, seems to be some significance there also.

>>216941670
I'm assuming that the plurb is some alien races ultimate bio weapon. The Ultimate castration I mean they can't hurt or fight back and they can't even feed themselves the ultimate pacifier

the rest of y'all know when i plurb to ya

>>216955089
>Just constantly around water
Yeah what the fuck is up with that

>>216955670
>>216955136
The plurbs come from an ocean planet so they are preoccupied with water without knowing why
