@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?

@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.
