  1. @numbersinarow Well, that depends on many developmental factors like Spiral Dynamics stages of development(by Don Beck and Clare Graves.), cognitive and moral development, personality typing/traits(by Myers Briggs and big five personality traits modal), 9 stages of ego development(by Jane Loevinger), Integral Theory's other lines of development in life and society(by Ken Wilbur), and other ideological beliefs indoctrinated by culture and family upbringing, and the information ecology we're in. Specific to this context, the true nature of arguing and debating needs arguers/debater a problem that's in conflict between them, which creates this codependency that makes both arguers dependent on an issue or resolution that needs solving in the middle, creating this triangular structure that sucks in those of the opposite ideologies and polarity, and other outside points of view into giving their beliefs or opinions thinking their opinions mean anything when in fact they're figments of fantasy of reality. This triangular structure engineers the necessity to be disingenuous and bad faith tactics, bad faith communicate to demean the other side and win this power game/power dynamics.
  2. @Juan Nice share, Jubilee has some decent videos of these quasi debates. My critique here would be their marketing strategy and color coding of the sides being some variation of YELLOW, which is confusing to differentiate sometimes. For example when each prompt is brought up, both 'Capitalists' and 'Communists' are yellow when the thumbnail shows them bold white. Also around 0:26 seconds in, when they showed various future topics it's all again in yellow but different font sizes, didn't like that holocaust deniers vs holocaust survivors were the SMALLEST fonts, but Hasan Piker and Ben Shapiro were the biggest is confusing. Also plenty of good body language and tonality analysis for me to go through so thanks. Also the prompts were pretty loaded and biased/preferential, very loaded framing to start each discourse off, and oh boy they haven't changed their presentation and this round table orientation, just feels visually cramped in.
  3. @not-a-faerie But he is a life coach right?
  4. @EdgeGod900 I can relate similar, my first video of his was the anger video, which actually made me reject his work for several months before I started watching his other videos.
  5. @Thao Tran Ordinary, like your blank and bland quote.
  6. @Yimpa Sounds like you're doing some learning=making distinction or observation, or even mindfulness meditation. I do similar techniques plus contemplation and concentration exercises, but my life is ordinary and sometimes mediocre, and a few moments of darkness. Yes, life can be hard and merciless. Trying to make vids or music, and a VN is tough especially the marketing and the coding.
  7. @DawnC For sure, their analysis wasn't as deep or complex with breadth of knowledge and multifaceted aspects that contributed to this lobbying issue and the geopolitical issue, and frankly there are hundreds more videos showing examples of political corruption and other events that could've been better. My point was that we do need to take conscious politics seriously so to minimize any one lobby movement from having this much leverage of the USA government. That's basically behind the scenes overrepresentation of one minority group as the majority. No inside or outside movement should have this much disproportionate power that causes one of the most powerful countries on earth to show so much unconditional support for another country, and it can be any other country besides Israel. We should have some transparency, and move towards systems thinking and Game B more so than Game A frames, based off of game theoretic Same with Neoliberalism as an ideology, same with late stage capitalism, same when feminism and egalitarianism is run amok, contributing to decline in birthrates, higher divorce rates, more detached households, increases in unemployment, and so on.
  8. @GraceUnity730 I kind of get what you're saying. maybe try finding gems like what this guy's reviewing: IMO truly a masterpiece of a bullet hell game. Several from what I've found and some played: Super Metroid for Nintendo, very nice 2d platformer and shooter, good mechanic and movement. Devil May Cry, a classic hack and slash. I especially like the devil trigger art and graphics, so powerful and badass and the bosses are nice. Resident Evil 1 remake for Nintendo cube, maybe 0, 2, and 3 the original. Especially Resident Evil 4 the original(RE4 Remake and 3 are just bad, it got the Kathleen Kennedy treatment) Final Fantasy classic games, especially FF 7,8 and 9. Chaos Legion, especially for a PS2 game the graphics are delicious, the game mechanics do need getting used to but gameplay is nice and music so emotionally powerful. Unique and simple story as well. Yu-Gi-Oh card game, for Nintendo, or other card games, pretty cool game play and experience. Dino Crisis 1, not 2 or it's other sequels but just 1 is REALLY GOOD as an action and horror, definitely feels like a true survival horror title. Basically makes dinosaurs scary again. I remember just playing the demo, and some of the games I listed actually had demo versions in demo discs, I remember playing this demo version of Dino crisis and it really was terrifying! I was not expecting a raptor(thanks to the fix cams and me not paying attention to audio cues) and I got jump scared so badly when that thing jump at me, the game character, despite there being a laser fence there I rolled off my bunk bed and just left. Any chess game, or even any strategy themed game is great. Classics is the Civ game series. The Last Of Us 1 nd especially 2, really good story plot, really good characterization, and great combat mechanics. And a few more I could list. These games I sometimes have watched playthroughs of, but most I've played the games myself and got to experience them.
  9. @Lila9 @Vrubel and @@Nivsch , you are blocked and in my ignore list. I will never post or communicate to you 3 EVER AGAIN! So deranged and delusional it's insane dealing with harassment mail from you 3. Don't ever talk to me or communicate to me in this forum or I will report you 3 to the moderators and @Leo Gura to enforce this boundary right now. That's it, am not ever coming to this thread again, maybe the political sub forum, it's now too toxic to deal with dogmatic users hate messaging me, unbelievable. Don't talk to me ever.
  10. @Raze @zazen Great video on the conflict:
  11. @bebotalk Similar to me as well, except I'm more busy with LP, and some time here, and watching documentaries about history and countries. Am currently taking @Leo Gura's geography challenge, and it's great.
  12. Another version of the video:
  13. Our friendly neighborhood Kanye West is back, with disses: A billionaire, narcissist, with a bipolar personality disorder, plus the cancelations and censorships leads to this. Yes, it's unhinged, but some of what he talks has a tiny kernel of truth, especially his divorce situation that's real tough.
  14. Savage rant. Some of it is over dramatic, but there's always a kernel of truth in here:
  15. @Vrubel Why would John Mearsheimer say there's literally no existential threat to Israel? Also that's anoterh argument I'm and others here are not making, he is. Stop assuming I'm arguing the same as him. Cleansing and ethnic cleansing while they're at it, and some genocide because after all HAM,As, similar to Hezbollah, is integrated into Gaza and West Bank, so again how would you avoid unnecessary lose of life while taking out HAMAs terrorists? Also, Isreal's military equipment is so precise they know exactly who's HAMAs and who's a Palestinian civilian, so wouldn't this fall under the definition of genocide by the UN? So it's clear when HAMAs or Hezbollah take advantage of it's population, but not so clear when Israel does?
  16. @Nivsch 🙊🙉🙈🤷‍♀️
  17. This is the AIPAC: And John Mearsheimer's take:
  18. @Salvijus I dare you to say that to a starving artist. In context this 'piracy thing' actually is important when piracy and plagiarism negatively effects competition between competitors and their customers base, and piracy and plagiarism saturates the market so much with unpaid labor and many ideas ripped off from the original creators that it both cheapens and lowers quality, undermines quality, and due to market saturation increases barrier to entry for newer creators wanting to profit and do their LP and make a living doing so. But when the market is so saturated with pirated, copied and plagiarized content, then what's the incentive for consumers to continue consuming services and products off of original content creators when the thieves outnumber them? And you're using spiritualism and non-duality to dodge the practical and realist ramifications of these plagiarism and piracy done by tech companies and A.I programs.
  19. @Parallax Mind From the perspective of someone who believes fiat money is a scam, taking into account capitalism and neoliberalism as an ideology, and even feminism and egalitarianism and democracy from the west as ideologies indoctrinated and blindly believed in dogmatically, also interplaying with secularism and atheism, and the above ideologies contributing to decline in birthrates, increases in higher divorce rates, higher unemployment due to increase in A.I and automation and migrant to female workers within a given industry, corrosion of the moral backbone of a country in regards to theocratic moral frameworks, fiat money as a scam isn't that far fetched if the basis of fiat money is 'blind belief and faith in paper money itself and the belief of governments regulating that paper money itself' in comparison to currency back then based on the rarity of gold and silver. After all, what's stopping a more secularist government to flip flop and back peddle, and change around freedom of speech and protest rules?
  20. @Vrubel And? That's a different argument related adjacent to the other arguments we've been having. The argument we're focused on is the humanitarian crisis caused by israel onto Palestinians from the West Bank, to Gaza, and even to Israeli Palestinians by the alt right Zionists within Israel, israel expansionism of a greater israel at the cost of some Palestinians dying and suffering, and related is the problems of the israel lobby movement within the USA leveraging thier support of israel. So John Mearsheimer's argument is specifically in regards to the humanitarian crisis and against Zionists wanting to genocide the Palestinians for a greater israel. What John Mearsheimer isn't argueing for or against is HAMAs and Hezbollah specifically, and whether it's justified for isreal to exterminate HAMAs or Hezbollah, John is more focused on the lose of life of civilians by israel's military, so I think this 'downplaying' is merely another argument that he isn't making, that you're assuming he's making. What people don't get is how integrated HAMAs is to Gaza and even the West Bank, and Hezbollah is to southern Lebanon, and the military actions of israel radicalizing Muslims who may have been centrist, or slightly right or left leaning, to be polarized into strongly supporting Hezbollah or HAMAs due to fears of israel invading into their areas. By israel ethnic cleansing it's borders, the attempt will create collateral damage to Gaza, to West Bank, and if the situation escalates, to southern Lebanon. Can you imagine the cost of life if israel isn't held down by the USA? Do you know how many lives will get killed and suffer from israel invading? It's almost guaranteed that lose of civilian life will be far greater than estimated. How is the whole apartheid BS? What is a better parallel to this situation? Nazi Germany? And how would you lead and manage this conflict against HAMAs and Hezbollah, while minimizing cost to civilian lives caught in the crossfires, by sophisticated technological weaponry by israel's weapons versus HAMA's own?
  21. Good mature mind, and good leadership role modal: and
  22. So much of what this guy says resonates with me deeply: I'd put it more severely in some cases but that's how I feel generally towards people whining and complaining about spoilers, or always seeking spoiler free content, or questioning the existence of those indifferent to spoilers. Yes, some people that are not effected by spoilers exist! For example, in the context of a book, with mystery genre, a crime happens and I don't know who did it. Halfway through my family or friend spoils the plot and characters a bit. Am I triggered? No, not so much, because what happens in my mind is that genre then becomes SUSPENSE, now I want to know and experience HOW the crimes happened, the events leading up, and even I want to know MORE about the characters and story plot. Another example, in a movie same thing, don't know much other than trailers, someone spoils it for me and I actually want to watch the movie more. In fact happens with older movies I've watched, as I've got good visual memories, and sometimes a movie comes on and one of my parents can't quite remember but few seconds in I remember ALL the major and minor events and characters, and sometimes if I'm asked or comment on the movie a few of them would discourage me from commenting or 'spoiling' the movie even when We've watched it already! Same with visual novels, same with video games or other art media, this spoiler culture is quite strange to me, strange how easily offended people get with spoilers, disregarding that in the 30's printing press were full of spoilers, disregarding nowadays the internet has a multitude of information full of spoilers. So why this aversion? For some of you effected by spoilers please explain to me your worldview, your mindscape, how you think and feel in your life dealing with spoilers. Same for those tolerant and indifferent to spoilers, please tell me how you particularly think and feel and process spoilers. Note: obviously I do not support swearing or vulgarity used frequently, or demonizing/dehumanizing some people's thoughts and feelings like that guy in the video does as he's also a victim of social media machines and ideological echo chamber. Some really don't like spoilers for some reason, which intrigues me. Sometimes it's just irritating to deal with such people's poor attitudes to no spoilers or spoilers.
  23. Another mature minded person, the interviewer but especially the interviewee, similar to systems thinker. This is part 2: and below is part 1: A lot to watch through and note take, but worth it. Enjoy.
