There's no demonization here, that's why I love this forum, because basically everything is up for discussion, however, I don't think your thinking right... It seems to me that your taking the part and substituting for the whole, this virus is real, and not because I got COVID, but also friends and family got it, and some of them even died for it, so countries have to fix that issue "as fast as possible", and therefore some of the wealthiest countries went on a race to develop new vaccines that makes people immune of the virus, but, unfortunately it took longer than we've had already predicted... And because of that systemic problem, the economy started to suffer a blow, and (here is the catch-22) BECAUSE of the implications of the pandemic, the growth of many countries has shrunk..

@AnantaYes, it's very brutal indeed Yeah, I heard a story like that too, in places like Ohio and Colorado, due to the lack of nurses, some of them got COVID too... Already done, thanks buddy!?? I'm not from the U.S... so these institutions I'm referring to are not coming from first hand experience, but I have some friends who live in US and Canada.

yes and yes It's like history class, we start learning that stuff since we were kids, by social pressure, but if we are willing to study this subject later on as adults, we have a much more integral and nuanced understanding of what was going on at those historical times...

Harry Wittgenstein's Adventures on Language Games

But it is still very difficult to follow at times... and, to be honest, and didn't like the way he wrote that book, however, the message that he tried to convey is brilliant. Here I present you two great resources for understanding Heidegger and his Existential Phenomenology: one is a documentary, and the other is a book by an american philosopher, called Hubert Dreyfus, who was specialized in Heidegger's Philosophy, and wrote a book with his commentary on "Being and Time" which helped me a lot?? https://www.amazon.com/Being-World-Commentary-Heideggers-Division/dp/0262540568

@DocWatts If you try to strictly follow what Heidegger is telling with his categorization of the pre-ontological nature of Dasein...You'll probably get lost and will not understand the juice of what he's saying, because his book is extremely difficult to read (not as Hegel of course) he wasn't as good of a teacher as his mentor, Edmund Husserl... What worked for me while I was reading Heidegger was to look at my direct experience and try to extract the being-in-the-world that he was talking about... and I came out with two examples: 1 - the experience of freshness when a baby explores the world 2 - the experiential component someone has when moving to another country, especially if it is one by which their culture is very different than his, there's an element of discovery and surprise, you don't take anything for granted anymore, your dealings with the environment gets shifted a little bit, even if some of your activities may look familiar. These are the examples I could find where the sense of averageness/everydayness start to fade away, and leaves room for the manifestation of Dasein to arise (once again) in our consciousness, an then it becomes much easier to grasp the concepts that he was trying to convey in his book. @DocWatts I hope that Helped!??

I would counter-argue with this playlist: Why would logic, rationality, materialism and reductionism (a.k.a Scientism) be the foundation of reality? After all.. all of that comes from our human biases and projections and from the way we perceive the world: if we were blind, we would do science in a completely different way, if we could see a different color spectrum, we would do science in a completely different way, if we were the size of atoms, and so on....you got the idea, that our "Human Configuration " pre-determines the range of what is possible to be categorized. The point is: the way we gather information, or "data", is very tied to the way we humans apprehend reality, with our own very idiosyncratic manner, and, with that said, we must also include our subjectivity, our culture, our psychology, our phisiological structure etc... It's not just a given that we experience the world this way...

These are two Great videos which talks about the shortcomings of vMEME Orange worldview and its reaction against vMEME Green, by the lenses of Jordan Peterson. I loved how this guy really embodies the principles of Tier 2 thinking: he's non-judgemental and tries to "steelman" Jordan Peterson's arguments, by cross-referencing it with other examples and different ideas from other thinkers, and see if there is any contradiction in his POV. And I absolutely Loved it!????

“Eternity is in love with the productions of time.” “If a thing loves, it is infinite.” William Blake

That's a very interesting story. This video is a bit more nuanced, but I think that kind of lifestyle suits well with vMEME Green

when someone very stuck at vMEME Orange preaches about deregulation of the private sector and/or that free public health care is a form of socialism... send that video and try to have a discussion with him later.

from the movie Magnolia(1999), where Tom Cruise plays a vMEME Orange PUA character... I've heard that it was inspired by a real pickup artist, called Ross Jefries, which was known for applying NLP techniques as seduction, back in the early 90's

This is a very blunt, but well-intentioned video, pointing out the hypocrisy of rich vMEME Green liberals, who lives in affluent blue state regions of the country.

OMG! ?? I've never saw the lighting effects so well synchronized with the song like that!??? Just the lights themselves would be a concert of its own!????

Financial Education = Lobbying

Dan Pena I'll actually put him at vMEME Orange, the problem is that he shows a very unhealthy vMEME Red behavior, and he seems to take pride in that toxic notion of being the "Alpha Male", who needs o conquer and dominate everyone and everything...
