Frankly I may be more concerned about WWIII than you guys. Which is why I don’t waste my time talking about it.

@BlueOak Editing my quote was awfully shallow.

@BlueOak @Sincerity I didn’t dismiss or disagree or say either of you were wrong at all. You’ve completely missed the point. Doubt my knowledge. I didn’t share any of it. I said this speculation is rampant. Which it is. I said nothing about making predictions, speculations, pattern recognition or anything of the sort, in general. I predict the sun will rise tomorrow. Don’t project on me. Make better predictions about things that matter. Also, find better content providers.

@Sincerity I’m being humble by not engaging with your conspiracies and speculation. And that is a valid form of engagement here. This is a serious matter. Anyone can make guesses and predictions. But can you just sit with that without all your guess work? No.

The speculation in this thread is rampant. If WWIII does start it will be because a bunch of schmucks on the internet convinced you all it already did. Go clean your rooms.

You can tell the low quality of media when they specify who people like Trump or Zelensky are— because the bulk of their audience doesn’t know. The videos are not examples of high level analysis. High-level analysis requires immense work and most people can’t do that; it’s rare. These were far from rare. Much less enlightening. They monger fear, mainly.

You guys are confusing sincerity with clarity. These videos talk about global politics like it’s a football rivalry. Why would Leo waste his time debunking that?

The answer is quite simple. America: Power ✅ Authority ✅ Independence ✅ Community ✅ (Starting to/Smaller pockets) You can run the same list for other countries and compare how much of what they have. SD is not linear, but the stages can and often do build on each other to one extent or another.

Haha! Yes

Ontolila noun /ˈɒn.təʊˌliː.lə/ Origin: Coined from onto- (Greek ontos, “being”) + lila (Sanskrit, “play”) Definition: A post-awakening condition in which a person, having recognized the self-generated or illusory nature of reality, continues to exist and act within that illusion due to the structural continuity of consciousness. Distinct from awakening (the realization itself) and enlightenment (freedom or detachment), ontolila refers to the sustained, involuntary engagement with reality after its deconstruction. It denotes awareness without exit. Example: After realizing the dreamlike nature of reality, he remained within it, fully aware but unable to step outside. This was ontolila. Edit: Yes— I used AI to word this well and help determine the suffix. If that ‘disqualifies me,’ no matter, I like the word.

@PurpleTree U.S. military and tech alone have created more global prosperity than any other system or government ever. Every other country anyone here thinks is ‘better’ was built on the back of U.S. tech and military support. I’m not saying the U.S. doesn’t have unique risks— but at some point an overall judgment has to be made.

@oldhandle Name a better country, overall.

@PurpleTree Greatest overall.

Nobody has to be a ‘Patriot.’ It’s obvious America is the best country in the world overall. There isn’t even a close 2nd, unless you single out particular issues and isolate them. —America still continues to develop. It still makes mistakes. It actually has a greater capacity for mistakes due to its overwhelming power and greatness. — Hegemonic Responsibility.

America is the best country, with the most complex problems. Plain and simple. One can criticize the U.S. while maintaining there are no better options. It might seem ungrateful, but it’s really just system maintenance.

@Leo Gura Nobody mentioned your feelings but you.

You’re a master distorter. You brought up your feelings— not me. You do not have clarity on this topic and that bothers you. Emerald is an edge case— sure. But she’s also right.

@Leo Gura Okay, then share your feelings.

It is an animated series about UI (Uploaded intelligence) and humanity. I do not typically like animated series but I found the plot was too good. I have a hard time finding stories I enjoy and are not predictable. I still found myself predicting things, in Pantheon, but the nature of it being just two seasons left ample pressure to wrap things up in a way that was interesting.

Yes, modern sports are already unfair and focus too much on physicality. But also, before puberty, sports are more fair. Someone should craft a new sport that combines the hits of football, sprints of basketball, the grace of golf, etc. A meta sport with more defined, diverse roles, teams, goal, etc.

The more dire the physical consequences, the harder it is to find the right handicap. The more team based it is as well. If height and weight play a role it is harder. Linear games are easiest to handicap. Golf is surprisingly linear and simple to handicap compared to most things.

@Leo Gura Are you joking?

For the sports part of the conversation: The variation between men and women and trans people is still too great. Certain cycling leagues or even the military, measure vO2 max. They’ll have to use something like that, in combination to other things like hormone levels, while maintaining a coherent structure. Nobody will really care. The sports that have the most competitive essence will adapt but as a niche with low profit; not mainstream. For the most part I’m sure we can still expect men and women’s leagues, continued trans issues, and things like the ‘Enhanced Games,’ where they explicitly check chromosomes and allow steroids.

I need help.

@Someone here One minute nobody cares, the next nobody should. You need to make up your mind. You do not sound healthy. You have been flipping from extremes.
