Shii is a gentle soul erudite scholar who needs to be loved. We must find Shii and gently caress him. Shii's long thought pieces curves around into the post-modern imaginarium and through the social perspective into a modern interpretation of mysticism. He violently questions the status-quo through his words and into the collectivist interpretations of politics. His readers moan with joy.
Archivist's Note:
Either on or shortly prior to 2016-11-12, 0037 made an edit to the opening post of the "Shii is" thread, presumably in an attempt to be funny. The original opening post of the thread is the following:
Shii is a filthy kike! He's greedy, anti-American, and Jewish to the extreme. Back in middle school, he kept talking about how he wanted to screw my little sister out of her allowance! I called him up on Skype and his gross filthy subhuman voice answered me. It droned on and on about how the rich shouldn't be taxed and how atheists and liberals (they are one and the same in his reptilian brain) should be executed, along with the Palestinians.
I hate him! He's dirty, racist, and misanthropic! I hope the Japanese student he's dating leaves him!
Some context for this change may be found in the posts immediately following >>332.
> He spent three years in Japan working as an assistant to the well-known Shintoist Shin'ichi Nakaya
i thought our boy was only in japan for a year
>>101
Pretty sure that's right and it may have been more. Time flies. Perhaps he just means that he spent only three years of his overall time in Japan doing this. ?
Does anyone know what actually happened to Shii? I've always wondered after he disappeared.
>>103
Which period of time are you talking about? I lost track of him completely (because I had better things to do) between 2007-10. I think there are plenty of Wikipedia edits in that time, though.
Who's up for compiling an obsessive timeline?
>>104
I'm half tempted to. Where is he now, though? I don't think I've ever known where he is.
>>105
There was some mention about moving stuff internationally a few months ago, so he's probably not in Japan anymore. Safe bet is that he's back home-ish in the USA.
Given our land lacks the ghosts in which he specializes, I can't imagine what he's doing with his time here (aside from feverishly defending some select wikipedia articles). What does he do for money? Fool doesn't have kids, so he can't get enough food stamps to eat.
>>106
What Wikipedia articles are you talking about?
Also, who knows, is he a NEET/hikikomori?
isn't he doing postgrad study? hikki/neet would be my second guess
>>103

Shii was in #raspberryheaven for a long time. He used to chat in there until someone doxxed him and joined the channel.
That same someone helped him work on a neo-conservative neo-fascist "traditionalist" web zine in a secret channel on a private IRC server. Strange way things have of working themselves out....
Oh hey, I remember raspberry heaven. That's where moot used to hang out before he made 4chan. In fact, he still has an email address there if I remember correctly. moot@raspberryheaven.com or whatever the URL was.
Like >>111 said though, what's that web zine you're talking about?
Release date is now 24 January according to Amazon. WTF Shii? Did a release date coincident with MLK Jr. Day upset your fringe right sensibilities? Did the Chief Executive Soothsayer at Bear & Company decide the stars didn't line up on the 20th?
Why won't you take our money???
Today is the day! Order now!
>Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #435,102 in Books
A meteoric rise, indeed!
There is now an editorial review by Joscelyn Godwin, Ph.D. (OF MUSIC) who wrote "Atlantis And The Cycles Of Time: Prophecies, Traditions, And Occult Revelations (Inner Traditions, 2011)." This isn't really a shady practice or anything, I mention it mainly because lol title.
Quick search on him, turns up his Wikipedia article, which has this to say:
>(born 16 January 1945 at Kelmscott, Oxfordshire, England) is a composer, musicologist and translator, known for his work on ancient music, paganism and music in the occult...
>He moved to the U.S. in 1966 to undertake post-graduate work in musicology at Cornell University...
Why do we keep letting these people into our country? I'm sure Japan is wondering the same thing.
LOL, someone's buying it.

It moved up 362,264 steps up that list in about eight hours.
Oh, and he's in some top 100 lists at the moment!

wtf is controversial knowledge?

>Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #65,353 in Books

Controversial knowledge is pretty volatile, whatever it is. So in that category, #1 is "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" by Carl Sagan. Weird. Next up in #2 & 3 is "The Ancient Giants Who Ruled America: The Missing Skeletons and the Great Smithsonian Cover-Up." #4 is "Behold a Pale Horse", #5 is "The Sumerian Controversy: A Special Report (Mysteries in Mesopotamia)", and #6 is "The Demon-Haunted World" again. What a fucked up category.

Yeah, that's actually kinda meteoric. At least rocket-like. Maybe more like one of those high-end jet-powered RC airplanes.
I wonder if shii fucked any little girls in Japan
probably
everything taste so much better when you are hungry
>>121
Do you fucked any little girls in Japan? I sure hope if yes they are niggers as other race you can not do, just saying as that should be disgusting!
So I'm about halfway through this. The first thing I'd like to say is that it's not (yet) as crazy as promised. Reading it has been complicated by the fact that I must take time to face-palm and sigh every time I hit the words "Julius Evola", "Rene Guenon", or "parahistory."
Something that I'd like to bring up is that Julius Evola is the My Little Pony of philosophy: the rest of the world can't figure out why grown men would choose to base their lives on something so trivial.
So far I do have at least a few good things to say for it, but most of it is just gleefully overlooking huge gaps in the historical record and even in common sense because the end results of doing so appeal to his personal beliefs. We'll get back to variously praising and eviscerating this in the days to come.
>>124
The information in your post is like a junkyard. Much information with no value for me or to you.

he's still bloggin
https://dis.4chan.org/read/sjis/1104476422
and here's a 10-year-old thread he posted in lol
i ordered the book :>
All there really is to say is Jesuchri Christmas, that sure was a book. I'm done reading it and I'm not going to trouble you with a wall of text pointing out how ridiculous most of it is. Honestly, it's unfair for me to review this because it is nothing that I'd ever seek out. Everything I have to say is like a straight man's review of gay porn. Presumably people like this sort of thing, but I can't see why.
At the core of this is that Avery believes there is ancient history unknown to us. Symbolism found throughout purportedly ancient and latter-day revealed texts provide us a glimpse of that history. It seems like one could read these symbols into anything at all. You could apply these ideas to Shakespeare or Stephen King and do just as well. That wouldn't be published though, and that's the core of my criticism: the documents he writes about are lent a mystical air solely because of their Eastern origin. If the Takenouchi documents or the Hitsuki Shinji were written in English, you'd have to wonder if he'd think so highly of them.
As for the parts I found interesting or lol, please see the list on page 48, which sadly does not come from one of his sources, but instead from a mainstream mythology. This is a list of behaviors becoming of public officials and all one would have to do make it completely match the behavior of Japanese office workers today is some slight editing and to tack on one more (#18: Drink yourself into a gutter every Friday). See the portrait of Jesus on page 107 and recall the recent uproar over ANA's depiction of Westerners in its ads. In fact, see everything between pages 104-107 because srsly wut. I'll post a few other lol sections later.

Too bad I wrote a bunch of notes in it. Mostly "lol."
Just a reminder that tonight 8-9PM EST Shii will be a guest on Just Energy Radio!
This guy hates evola so much, what is his deal?
>>124
I remember being like 12 or 13 years old, back when Shii was still in his (personal) wiki-editing (in)glory- I sort of looked up to him, in ways. He seemed to know a lot, had seemingly-unique opinions, and wrote a lot of shit. I thought it was really cool that someone smart, like I thought I was, was using the internet and being a japanophile nerd (just like I was) but was also writing substantial, interesting stuff. Taking him as some sort of a weird-ass role model, and thinking myself a like-minded lolicon/intellectual, I even went as far as making a personal wiki (thankfully long dead and not even archived anywhere).
I thankfully distanced myself from all that and grew the fuck up, but, later, out of curiosity, I decided to figure out what happened to that Shii guy I used to think was pretty cool, and I found the Avery Morrow we know today. At first, I wasn't taken too far aback. I mean, I thought some of his first articles (like this one http://avery.morrow.name/blog/2010/03/religious-studies-the-future-of-an-illusion/) were pretty decent, and it was cool to see he was still doing the whole religion thing.
As someone always interested in religion and such, even Guenon seemed pretty cool- a little off the deep end, but still, he was an obscure philosopher with appealing ideas about the unity of all religions. It didn't seem all bad, and I was glad to see that he was still off being a pro-religion intellectual.
And then I kept reading, and began to ask "What the FUCK is this?" with increasing frequency.
I'm just as curious as anyone as to what has brought someone who seemed to be reasonably intelligent to turn into some sort of neo-fascist new (old?) age conspiracy-theorist. Was his disgust with present-day religious studies strong enough to make him radically revolt against sane conceptions about religion? What kind of graduate school would be interested in research from someone of his area of expertise?
Avery is sort of confounding at this point, and I still have enough residual respect for him that I am really, really curious about what he has to say. I hope someone records or recalls what he says in this "radio show" tonight, in case I don't get a chance to listen.
Shii went from being a fairly interesting guy to talk with to some neo-fascist nut case, obsessed with obscure ancient religions, UFOs and all kinds of other crap. I don't know how it all started. It's not like he took a bunch of drugs and just started having bizarre thoughts or anything. He just started believing in this really stupid stuff.
Everything seems to be posted to youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/user/JustEnergyRadio?feature=mhum ) but I'm recording it just in case.
and apparently there's this
http://www.justenergyradio.com/just-energy-radio-archives.htm
Looks like the interview went well. Everything he had to say seemed somewhat reasonable, but maybe that was just because of the act he had to follow (omg wut). No mention at all of Evola, strangely. The host couldn't pronounce a single Japanese term correctly but did actually question the provenance of his sources.
I caught about twenty minutes of it, and was actually impressed. Had I no further knowledge, based on what I heard I would have assumed that Avery was just a dedicated scholar who had happened upon some unique, ancient texts. However, compared to "Dr." Louise, he could've stayed silent and still came out looking like a genius.
I'm interested in giving it a better listen, once it's up somewhere and I can sit down with it.

^^^ Shii's interview. This will save you a couple clicks.
i thought he was libertarian...
Everyone seems to go through a Ron Paul phase. Now he's skirting this idea of fascism. I think he believes something like enlightened people should be in charge. Too bad every other party believes they are they know all the answers. Thankfully there's very few that share his opinion. I'll be damned if the pseudo-science my government is chasing is UFOs and Atlantis. I'll stick to good old-fashioned creation science, climate change, climate change denial, and gender theory, thank you very much.
I found his profile on a certain site with a list of things he is reading. I don't want to cause him trouble, though. Should I link it, extract and rephrase the content, not link it, or what?
>>150 you mean goodreads dot com? doesn't take a supa hacka
What the FUCK happened to shii.org? I loved reading his wiki!
a pedo.
Another interview!

Starts @ 1hr mark.

Really old anime reviews.
i wish he would shoutout to us in one of these interviews :(
You keep saying that like it's supposed to mean something.
Just noticed that /yukkuri/ and /read/ are both 404 as well now. I thought I saved most of those yukkuri pics in anticipation of this, but I can't find them now.
Here is Shii's book as a pdf for anyone interested. Have a good laugh! http://puu.sh/787yz.pdf
>>157
He deleted it because "lol permissions" and then set his robots.txt to block IA.
Another reason he's a cunt.
Hey, shii.org stopped for me too.
Let's all hang out in the comments of his blog!! http://avery.morrow.name/blog/
There are now two customer reviews for Shii's book on Amazon! Both are 5/5, both verified purchases.
Neither one makes much sense.
>mainstream does not accept man on this planet millions of years ago and continues to ignore anomalous findings like stumps of stone pillars in coal beds 300 millions years old and a screw that was found inside a piece of mineral dated at 21 million years......

Did anyone save that manga he translated about Japanese leftists?
he's probably talking about the gomanism thing? but i didn't know that was leftism. I've never been very good with directions...
No, sorry, that was unclear. I can't remember the title. It wasn't Gomanism or Awatake. It had a communist cell that imploded, sexually assaulting their leader with a paint brush. Then things got surreal.
I'm pretty confident shii translated it and hosted it on shii.org/read. Distinct connection in my memory with things he said about the history of Japanese leftism and their problems with the Japanese language.
>>172
I know that he translated something SICP related, for /prog/....
I think it's our duty to write nasty reviews on amazon...

I would love to see a LAC all caps rant in an amazon review.
I'm going to buy the book so it shows Confirmed Purchaser next to my name. Aside from being full of imaginary bullshit, what are some valid critical points I could make?
Please try not to harass Shii. I know it's very hard to do, but try.

Another interview
For anyone working on an obsessive timeline/entire bedroom wall full of photographs linked by string, there's this from an Amazon review:
>I met Avery Morrow at our Japanese Matsuri in Santa Fe and bought his book there.
That was 22 March 2014. He might be making the rounds to similar events.
I wonder if Shii is opposed to doing gay things. I think I have kind of a crush on him.
so like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pederasty_in_ancient_Greece probably
What's wrong with Avery's voice?
Another interview:
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/supernaturalgirlz/2014/03/09/sacred-secret-writings-of-ancient-japan-chronicles-of-the-gods
Upcoming interview:
http://www.wheredidtheroadgo.com/ on Saturday the 28th of June 2014 @ 11PM EDT. This one will actually be broadcast on a real(ly weak college) radio station. If you're near Ithaca NY, and willing to climb a hill to be within a couple feet from the broadcast tower, you can listen live on WVBR 95.3 FM. If you've exhausted your airline miles stalking Shii elsewhere, try: http://www.wvbr.com/listen
The show will eventually be archived here: http://wdtrg.blogspot.com/
In Amazon review news, someone dared to give our hero a 4/5 >:(
Also, this rambling nonsense. It may look out of context, but no, not really:
>Notably, the documents state that radiation can be de-activated, something the Japanese might well consider. Optimization should not be confused with magick, empowerment, invincibility or immortality. It is based on Sufficiency/Toyoko, one's due fulfillment within a communal benevolence, not ambition and greed.
