@lina I just wish there's greater international condemnation for Israel's excessive military acts, I hope this is a wake up call for those Israel Zionists if they really care for international support at this point, they need to find another way to deal with HAMAs without enraging the whole world at the same time, but I doubt even this, hence back to the back and forth of Israel/Palestine conflict. I'm almost morally bankrupt for the both of them, especially Israel I have lost all respect for, and for Palestinians suffering because I'm even starting to find it difficult to understand or empathize with their suffering at this point. Seriously a fucked up situation both are in.

@lina IMO I think this will be likely. No way USA will just sit back and not twist this to help Israel somehow save face. Unfortunate but that's corruption.

A bunch of nothing burgers from this YouTube 'news' for Hip Hop: Dr. Umar Johnson, I can agree he's a bit racist, he still has a point about the whole white paradox of rap, and marketing/business of rap and hip hop music, like the above video: So IMO it's complicated and based on many developmental factors like value systems, cognitive patterns, morality, stages of ego development, personality traits, individual to societal domains per line of development, and ideological beliefs indoctrinated by culture and society programming, family upbringing, and information ecology we consume to make sense of our worldviews, which big corporations and businesses have a monopoly over, and manufactures consent from the masses with. People like that stupid, simplistic 'news' videos are just fucking reactionaries that only focus on sensationalizing these news and events, disregarding careful deliberate understanding of just why someone like Dr. Umar is talking like that, just bad faith smear him and sweep under the rug what he's REALLY POINTING TO!

This sounds like a solid take from this guy: Systemically speaking he's on the right, don't know if the specifics and how he communicates this is that accurate. At least this intuitively feels right to me given the Eminem STANS, and YouTube rap and reacto9r culture/communities lately, him as a mythological cultural phenomenon, a gate opener for the young, white, straight male demographic to mix in with various other demographics in Hip Hop at that time made sense IMO. You r thoughts?

@Rafael Thundercat It's a nice video, everything in theory is nice. The main problem is that it's so complex, and stage yelow thinkers also suffer from inaction and armchair philosophy, or mental masturbation that I just feel like his or her argument just goes nowhere but chase it's own tail. I really wish at the end of talks Daniel Schmachtenberger has, or John Vervaeke, or Jamie Wheel, or Iain McGilchrist. offered some list of concrete solutions to bring down to planet earth what actually do with these highly advanced talks, not Just some 4D hyper dimension Neptuna spacetime bending wisdom talks LOL!🤣

@Juan Of course you don't have enough time, all that time is being sucked by Tik Tok!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Navaneet I'm the exception, as whenever I fight or compete I don't obsessively think 'I AM BEING COMPETITIVE!', or 'I WILL DOMINATE YOU!', or 'FUCK YOU DIPSHIT! I WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY!', or whatever domineering themed thoughts. I just am mindful, shut down over thinking, and let my body do the fighting. Likewise with other forms of art like drawing, music, or even games like chess I don't think to attack people, I just merge parts of myself into the activity with mindfulness.

Competition can also be seen, in Spiral Dynamics stages of development as nowadays stage orange capitalism, but again if you contemplate deeper there's different levels and forms of competitions on the lower spiral or the higher spiral developments. Even 2 philosophers or 2 stage green/yellow or even turquoise thinkers or intellectuals compete with each other's intellects, comprehensions and how each one conceptualizes reality, even if the framing is 'collaborative or a team work'.

@Spiritual Warrior Competition is important depends on many developmental factors, and it's a bit complicated to discern it's true nature. Initially, IMO it's important for rankings, hierarchy establishments and for the beauty of contrasting yourself against a competitor that loses, or even in some situations your competitor wins against you. That whole game A dynamic is beautiful, and I wish systemic thinkers and philosophers appreciate it for what it is.

@kenway What do you think is the probability of Israel being found guilty in this UN tribunal case?

@lina Yeah, that bit from John Mearsheimer was suspicious. I respect his take on the Ukraine/Russia conflict and it being the west's fault, but I don't know why he won't stand with what the UN and South Africa's legal battle charging Israel's genocide acts.

@kenway Oh yeah, white phosphorous grenades are pretty dangerous, as they're known to burn upwards around 2,000 degrees, hot enough to melt metals, that guy's lucky he got away.

@Yimpa I agree, I'm venting complexity at this point. It's just one of those videos you watch, and it's like there's so many mistakes, at the deeper levels too, that I can't help myself face slapping myself over. She's partly right on the scam stuff, but that doesn't make the whole field a pseudoscience, just immature take. How does YouTube live with itself?

@Carl-Richard Great post, mostly agree with points here. I just feel like this YouTuber doing the critiquing of body language analysis as a pseudoscience was doing deep levels of category error, hypocrisy, over-generalizing a specific issue, as if 1 scammer in 1 field of interest makes that field pseudoscience. and even has her own confirmation biases in her coverage against body language 'experts'. Especially times when she repeatedly goes to that point of 'peer reviews' as if it's 100% not corrupted and zero epistemic flaws is just dishonest and ignorant IMO. I kind of agree with the Paul Eckmen stuff, about those micro expressions, but just felt she's using quantitative standards onto a qualitative field, I think, plus DARPA, CIA, FBI, and TLA are organizations and collective structures within the USA as a big culture and part of government security, to some degrees, obviously to me such groups are heavily biased to pragmatism. utilitarianism, and just want a codex or system for their survival interests, so Paul IMO was in some sort of a moral dilemma, of either going along with it or abandoning the whole project.

@Yimpa It's just like what @Leo Gura has said in his part series about the mythology of science, the deep problems with it. Also, for those wondering, yes I am biased against Scientists especially rationalists for personal events and just being treated as crazy for my paranormal experience, plus hate that judgementalism and aloofness, and intellectual hubris even though sometimes science can be wrong, flat out dogmatic, which is why I have this feeling that science and religion are similar in many aspects despite surface level differences.

@Bobby_2021 Bobby Fischer fishing 21 times, and trawling, while controlling his trolling. How nobody sees this proves, evil deaf-blinded-muted the FOOL. I iconoclastic, you will never last it. I am bombastic, whole your dome's plastic. Plastering rigid rigor mortis takes even Oppenheimer blush would radiate over Barbie doll's hate.

@mmKay Would also be interesting to hear @Leo Gura's take, given his recent diet is like an Atkin's diet or even a keto diet due to his health problems.

@mmKay It's complicated, based on many developmental factors like Spiral Dynamics stages of development(by Don Beck and Clare Graves), cognitive and moral development, personality types/traits, 9 stages of ego development(by Jane Loevinger), Architypes(by Carl Jung), Integral Theory's other lines o development in life and societal domains(by Ken Wilbur), and other ideological beliefs indoctrinated by social and cultural programming, family upbringing, and many information points in this information ecology we consume like mainstream/alternative news, videos, books, radios, social media platforms like Tik Tok, and many more that big companies who have Neoliberalism/capitalism as their ideology will manufacture consent from the masses and indoctrinates conspicuous consumption. It's also a ideology and narrative warfare, and even cultural warfare. Mostly stage blue/orange businesses trying to silence and shadow ban material and information from mostly stage green methodologies. Obviously most subtly, soft health problems that have complicated causations related to the mind/body problem or psychosomatic stress, or any bio/psycho/socio causations of health issues. Obviously mainstream western medicine is a business and want to maintain profits, and also aligns with the DEEP PROBLEMS of mainstream science as a whole. Unfortunately, while I do sympathize and empathize a little bit with Dr. Berg, some of his past videos where a miss and sometimes his alternative health advice could be also misleading. However, he's right on the shadow banning by mainstream sources and mainstream businesses.

Said person, Bob Gymlan, also covers some UFO stuff as well:

Post some videos, or share some stories about such encounters here, just because there are some parallels to UFO phenomena. However, as it's own field it's very interesting enough even without a few UFO connections here or there: This video seems to me most credible, and reasonable take.

Very compelling interview, decide for yourself, and don't attack me for it: and and

What an interesting cult dynamic. I get BS and trolling for bringing up Big Foot, or sometimes aliens in this forum, but not @Leo Gura. Oh no, it's perfectly fine for him, light trolling here and there, but fine when he talks about UFOs. But when I do, some on UFOs and Sasquatch I get friction like the above posts. Hypocrisy much?

@Schizophonia The key word there and assumption is 'suspected'. Imagine going back in time, within that first month, when most of the world is unaware of this virus, what and how lethal it really is. It's a HUGE question mark over just how dangerous this virus really is, now consider that 5 years is needed to test trial for a vaccine, but reports within those 2 months show that this virus is highly infectious, and attacks the person's lungs viciously, causing the lungs to fill up with fluids effectively 'drowning' those infected, and reports coming back show that just within weeks the hospitals are filled to capacity in China and in Italy, and this is all within just 6 months, and we're what? Supposed to wait it out for 5 YEARS OF TEST TRIALS?! And those are just the reports that come back, what if reports came back describing this virus as highly infectious, killing people via lung damage, but the infected radically start transforming and growing mushrooms on their heads, and started attacking people instinctively like monsters. In such a scenario, is merely waiting for 5 year test trails the viable strategy, or is rushing vaccine development the more viable strategy and even imposing martial law against those attacking people spreading the infection more viable and necessary for survival? Which is far more urgent to do?! See, the real issue is that I, you, and most people here SURVIVED, some 'supposedly' claiming they got Covid and it's merely like a cold flu. Gotcha, Covid merely a cold flu, when Covid killed 50 million plus worldwide, just like the cold flu. The real issue here is that since we got to survive, and there's psychological and cognitive distancing now, been a couple of years and more from the pandemic, that WE GET TO DOWNPLAY AND BELITTLE COVID! Yes, now Covid is like some itch, or some mere flu we get and can shrug off. That IMO is deep hubris and aloofness, and judgementalism towards a virus that can just as easily have been FAR, FAR, FAR WORSE!

The real issue is overuse of social media, internet spaces, and internet contents like shorts, and Tik Tok like videos, leads to shorter and degraded attention spans, leading to more difficulties reading books, critical thinking, focusing and concentration, and indoctrinated sense of chasing more shorter content and devaluing longer content. It's all in the Tik Tok formatting and design, intended to increase mental addiction and screen time despite the corrosive effects it has for brain health.

@Thought Art Sometimes it doesn't, and waiting and inaction may cost much more lives. The pandemic and covid in that timeline was very much unknown, it could've been like TLOU's mutated cordyceps fungus that can infect and turn people into monsters, in such a scenario would you remain agnostic?
