@Nivsch The major problem with your agnostic, centrist position, is that the majority of the pandemic situation, is very polarizing and binary between anti vaxxers versus pro vaxxers. MAGA, Alt right, and conspiracy theorist anti vaxxers are more than happy to still take your so agnostic takes and twist it to demonize and dehumanize pro vaxxers and mainstream science, and vice versa for the pro vaxxers. Also, the situation here it's untenable to just remain centrist when an unknown virus, unknown lethality but known spread rate as very high, no company can afford to be conservative and wait the 5 year test trials, there was a likely possibility that 5 years was too long and that way more deaths would happen if waiting too long.

Nice coverage of this situation, on the YouTube Algorithm bit:

@r0ckyreed I agree. Everyone should have a self realization, or enlightenment moment like this: Minus biting people of course.

@Israfil I agree the bias and preferential view he has for his ideological beliefs borders onto outrageous for this worldly situation for the Israel/Palestine conflict. Outside context, part of my bias is linguistics, correct usage of spelling and grammar, sometimes I can get pedantic as I do value details and linearity, so I do get a bit triggered with poor spelling and grammar. For example, what do these emojis mean together, and why arrange these emojis in this order: 👍👍👍🔥🎯

@Nivsch Thumbs up, thumbs up, thumbs up, fire and target. These emojis are incoherent unfortunately.

@AlterEgo @Leo Gura, according to his blog posts about his health issues, and a few videos he did on health, I can assume that he has done the entire gambit on the alternative medicine methodologies and methods, and has exhausted the mainstream medicine methods in regards to his health conditions around IBS. While I am a bit skeptical, I do believe that he has researched and tried hundreds of those methods of different diets, different health methods, maybe different sleep patterns or supplements. This specific health condition, when you factor in many other developmental factors, and especially the mind/body problem, or psycho-somatic stress disorders, it's so complex and complicated, has many interplays between hard and soft problems in between the mind and body. I can partly agree with his take that David Hawkins's take towards serious health issues with hard body problems is BS. Any problem of the body with a hard problem, injuries, wounds, that are physical ailments do need ER treatment, not methods that address softer aspects of the ailment.

@Carl-Richard I agree, good speech from here. I did some body language analysis and tonality of her and the speaker before here:

@Nivsch Honestly too many conjunctions here, so many 'ands', where a full stop or comma would have been better. Also the word 'people' and the rest of that part of the sentence felt strange, would've been better if it's another sentence. Please be mindful of your spelling and grammar here. Are you under the influence of drugs or alcohol writing this post? @Vrubel *This. just one 'this', no need to repeat. Also your final message is lacking in common sense, and full of bad faith straw manning of South Africa and Arabs.

I think this song is also quite underrated: I can definitely hear the origins of Eminem's the slim shady style from just this song, also a bit of Cannabis the rapper too. Interesting this song and others from Cage predate Slim Shady, all because one rapper got good marketing and buzz over cage here.

@Raze Wasn't this interview 9 years ago? Otherwise great take from Noam Chomsky. note: Love how Noam Chomsky pronounces Gaza, like it's 'Gee-za' instead of 'Gaw-za' .😁

Relevant to this is Leo's video on true versus false skepticism.

@Vrubel Versus @zazen @zazen 1, @Vrubel 0 for round 1. OOF. Putting that aside, I have to agree with @zazen, especially if we're trying to debate/argue, or even just talk, we do need some commonly established definitions for loaded terminologies, and unpack any terms that are loaded or complex, with high degree of misinterpretation and misunderstanding. Genocide is one word worth defining from the opening, and it's worth considering the UN's definition especially since there'll be a UN tribunal that'll charge Israel and Netanyahu or whoever with war crimes of genocide, and maybe even the USA being complicit with this situation may get charged too. As for @Vrubel you did bring up some later points, with some implications going back to Israel Zionism, oppression of Palestinians, and the complicated conflict between the two nations historical, but what costed you round 1 was you're lack of condemning either side for their limitations, and for defining your own loaded terms when you also use them, and for not being mindful of when you do fallacies that make you seem hypocritical, or attempting to both siding the two nation's issues when it's asymmetrically more from Israel and less from Palestine specifically.

@Vibes Ain't happening when your in-field and inside the wrong side of history, too painful to do so, the levels of mental gymnastics to even be open minded and willing to empathize with Palestinians from Israel's side is super levels.

@Nivsch Of course, obviously they can't help themselves when they're being oppressed by another more militarily developed state next door, by HAMAs somewhat, by PLO which is partly puppet by Zionists ruling Israel, other nearby societies, which all justifies IDF bombings of more civilians than terrorists DUH! Well GG Israel, because that UN tribunal will be another embarrassing event for Israel I guess.

@jaylimix Um, are you trying to justify Israel genocide of the Palestinians??? Because either form of ethnic cleansing is part of genocide, as defined by the UN tribunal's definition of genocide, with some examples of genocide events from South Africa to the fall of the USSR and some states there performing genocide of other Muslims. Famous example of genocide is of Nazi Germany.

Is it just me, or is this happening for others here? Please confirm, because if edit is gone then I will have change up my schedule for journaling, as I do long journals and sometimes come back to adjust the current post of my thoughts.

@Vrubel IMO I was actually complimenting you by comparing you to a wild, passionate ruby. I take it you're more like an Emerald or diamond instead? I just can't figure how it's insulting to be compared to a precious ruby gem? Hate rubies? But okay I'll stop comparing you to precious gems then if you offended. Continue with your accounts for how Israel has chiseled out it's existence as a mighty state right next to Palestine.

Just a really good lesson in bias and ideology, and conflating standards in one field and misapplying them onto another and calling it PSEUDOSCIENCE. Plenty of lessons of delusion in terms of developmental factors, misleading and misinforming.

Quite an interesting share, both the introduction and speech given, video by @Carl-Richard. I will give my body language analysis, verbal, discourse, and some statement analysis when it's relevant: My impressions of the speaker introduction: Intuitively felt defensive to me. Main reason is the constant slight lip compressions and retractions, with a few moments when he really lip compresses/retracts especially at 0:04, "for LGBT people" then quick lip compression/tension, with most statements ending with this micro tension around lips. At 0:15, 'everyone has an opinion' small smile to lip compression. and 'everyone has something to say' is followed by eyebrow flash and lip compression(eyebrow flash means feeling surprise, emphasis or social connection, given the discourse, setting and context likely emphasis and social approval more so than surprise), and the words 'LGBT youth' more obvious lip retraction but also could be a mouth shrug because lower lips raise very quickly(mouth shrugging is the same as an epistemic shrug, meaning feeling uncertainty, uncomfortable or anxious, an 'I don't know' feeling/thinking about a person, people, situation, or what he just said, incongruency between conscious and subconscious mind here). Overall good body language, good performative illustrators and signs especially since he's on a podium addressing the audience. Especially suspicious when he does his call to action for the audience to buy tickets to see other Wachowski movies, feels far more non-verbal signs of incongruency, and micro shame, as if he can't believe what he's saying to the audience. Especially the part where he's welcoming Lana on stage, all felt very performative and exaggerated. Felt so cringe, which is probably why Lana felt that need to joke about that introduction.🤣 My impressions of Lana Wachowski, her introducing herself, addressing the speaker, her actual speech: Generally Lana felt to me very reserved, her overall body language and tonality felt subdued and slight defensiveness with moments of trying to relieve nervous tension with plenty of jokes and some self deprecating humour, plenty of joking around to try and persuade the audience's states while trying to also influence her state of being as well, probably crowd nervousness due to type of discourse and setting which she does say she's not used to public speaking, but I actually felt that, when she takes a deep inhale(indicative of distress and trying to relieve stress), then tuts(verbal strong disagreement/disapproval, likely to him and less to audience or situation she's about to be in) and feels the paper she has with tension/some fidget, followed by her joking at him "I'm gonna make a sequel to that LITTLE INTRO I THINK(verbal micro tension here, definitely belittling his presentation of her)"while shaking her/his arms and shoulders a bit, leans into the mic, and audibly slams her hands and paper down onto the podium surface, definitely not happy with his intro and/or trying to release nervous tension. If I do have more time, definitely something interesting with her speech and what she wrote, definitely statement analysis needed here, which will be time intensive for me. There's also some interesting non-verbals and even moments of incongruency as well.

@zazen Spot on assessment based on many developmental factors, and living proof of @Leo Gura's video on collective ego points to. Nothing is worse than some event that shames and embarrasses the collective into a cultural zeitgeist.

@kenway I agree, this is a real time test of people's integrity, and real time test on how deeply they lie and distort reality from Israel's actions towards Gazans. It's pure devilry all of this is.

I do feel like this is worth watching.

@Vrubel If you say so, wild ruby.

This is such a damning video. Context: South Africa has released a 84 page essay detailing how Israel is performing genocide to Gaza, and asks for the UN tribunal to keep Israel in check and to make Israel accountable for it's military handling. Here's this spokes person for Israel: My first impressions on that Israeli speaker: deceptive body language, and manipulative verbals. Firstly, claiming that South Africa is playing 'advocate for the devil', 'criminally complicit', 'oct 7 MASSACRE'', 'HAMAs RAPIST regime(good thought terminating cliche here. What's next, another 44 baby heads decapitated?)', 'crimes against humanity', 'adding and abetting THAT machinery of genocide(HAMAs are terminators now...)'. Also after delivering loaded mind slaying statements, at 1:04 he dry swallows, BTW in body language dry swallowing indicates high stress typically, for me strange time to dry swallow here, after statements that slanders against South Africa's 84 page essay to a UN tribunal. Right after that, eyebrow flashes at the word 'STATE' of Israel, and at 1:10 he does a chin jut and head shake to his left, micro aggressive head movement towards South Africa. Quickly after that, he does an exaggerated eyebrow flash and tensed facial expression here of disappointment saying 'how tragic'. I'm sorry, so very biased and preferential speaker, obviously very objective and not funded by Israel to speak utter GARBAGE, coercing, and not so subtly threatening to sue South Africa for 'blood libel' or whatever the hell you on about, but I can clearly see deception here snake, go back to the hellhole you came from. We've had enough of misinformation and propaganda campaigns from your end of the aisle. Disappointed that this speaker is so amateur that he doesn't even make the effort to hide his deceit. Obviously HAMAs should be dealt with, but I can't help when I spot manipulation tactics done by such a greenhorn, so sloppy it's gross. Now, you've got to ask yourself, in the bigger picture of politics, if this is determined t be true, and South Africa wins this case and the international court from UN will enforce their measures against Israel and even against Biden and his administration, was this worth the risk of Biden not being more stern against Israel's military handling? Was it worth a risk, assuming if these are true and both Israel and Biden lose the legal court battle, and are tried for war crimes and Biden for enabling this genocide to happen, was it worth it to obfuscate and instead not being active in keeping Israel in check?
