  1. Same with the MAGAs etc. If it wasn’t for the wokes. I might actually go to a Palestine protest. But i don’t want to hear those sheepish buzzwords and slogans etc.
  2. Because the wokes like on this forum are so annoying. With their buzz words like genocide and colonialism. It‘s just so boring and herd mentality.
  3. It’s a weird thing. Where does it come from? Partly social conditioning probably. But it’s odd. I‘ve often heard people say stuff like „drop importance“ which seems like it would be great if it was possible but almost impossible. Importance can drop by itself.
  4. Yea but what is even "socially calibrated“? What is even society? Trying to fit into society is in a way suffering.
  5. Well first of all no one holds the "correct view“
  6. Ok ans why those psychopaths don’t get found out by the main part of the population and politicians. Are they too dumb kind of sheeple?
  7. Yea i mostly agree but you compared it to solipsism. As why solipsism is such a hard pill to swallow. But if people just think solipsism isn’t true isn’t necessarily because it’s a hard pill to swallow. Just no resonance. Like for me i always thought everything is about me. In a negative way too. Like others feeling are because of me i am responsible for everything so it’s like a huge weight on my shoulders. Already close to solipsism. I think that’s why i resonate a lot with „no self“ because it feels very freeing to not be responsible for anything.
  8. Gosh golly i silenced both sides. Is this the proof for solipsism?
  9. I mean don’t stop now. It‘s not even a diss i just don’t understand it. But if you enjoy doing it keep it up, there’s no free will anyway.
  10. How are you guys not bored of having the same discussion for months with the same arguments nobody ever changes their mind. I get bored after 5mins of reading that.
  11. Broski i can’t deal with that silly stuff. Another wanna be Che Guevara. Off to the ignore list.
  12. Genocide, colonizer gosh those words are so lame.
  13. Take your genocide word and put it somewhere. Most of it was actually not on purpose. Small pox etc.
  14. In this fair world would Turks also go back to their mountains and give Istanbul back and most of Turkey?
  15. Or maybe you can ask the Brits to take it back and make a state for everyone. Or the Turks or the EU.
  16. You know yesterday in Rome it was 31C (87.8 F for our American friends) It can get much hotter but people were sweating. Older Busses were like saunas. I saw this couple with a dog. It was a big nice furry dog. He was really hot. His tongue was out and his feet hurt from the hot pavement. Whenever he saw shade he tried to stay in the shade. The couple were shopping and dragging him along and he tried to get into a shop because of the heat. And i thought dear golly god. What if this dog was in the middle East? With the heat? He would surely just lay down and cry for god to release him from this brutal world.
  17. I think humanity has done quite well all things considered. It hasn’t „failed“ at all.
  18. I love those trees This building with dome is over 2000 years old and still looks new Just floundering around
  19. I mean you can call this direct immediacy God. No problem. But i don’t think you‘ll ever really know anything about god. Knowledge doesn’t really help you here imo. It kind of hinders.
  20. Imagine they fight for another 30 years for that piece of land. And then it just becomes unliveable because of climate change and everyone has to leave.
  21. Gpt The Middle East is one of the regions most at risk from the impacts of global warming, and parts of it may become increasingly difficult — or even unliveable — for humans during certain times of the year if current trends continue. Here’s a clear, evidence-based breakdown of what’s happening and what might happen: 🌡️ 1. Extreme Heat and Humidity Studies have projected that “wet-bulb temperatures” — a measure combining heat and humidity — could exceed survivable levels in parts of the Middle East by the end of the century if emissions remain high. A wet-bulb temperature of 35°C (95°F) is considered the upper limit for human survival over a few hours even in shade with unlimited water. Cities like Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Bandar Abbas could experience brief periods of deadly heat as early as 2050. Sources: Pal & Eltahir (MIT, Nature Climate Change, 2015) IPCC 6th Assessment Report (2021–2022) 💧 2. Water Scarcity The region already faces severe water stress. Warming is making rainfall less predictable and increasing evaporation rates. Aquifers are depleting, and desalination — although widely used — is energy intensive and vulnerable to disruptions. The Tigris and Euphrates basins (Iraq, Syria) are under threat from both climate change and political conflict over water. 🔥 3. Urban Heat Island Effect Cities in the Gulf (like Dubai, Riyadh, and Kuwait City) experience amplified heat due to urban design (concrete, glass, lack of shade). Nighttime temperatures may no longer drop low enough for the human body to cool down, increasing health risks even more. 👥 4. Vulnerable Populations Outdoor workers, especially migrant laborers, are among the most vulnerable. Millions live in poor housing without reliable air conditioning. Energy infrastructure under strain could make AC inaccessible during peak heatwaves. 🚨 5. Not Entirely Uninhabitable — But Extremely Challenging While the Middle East likely won’t become entirely uninhabitable this century, major cities may become unlivable for extended periods during extreme heat events. Long-term adaptation (urban redesign, green tech, cooling systems) will be essential, but there are limits to adaptation, especially in poorer or conflict-prone areas. 🧭 Outlook Depends on Action Emissions Path Likely Outcome Business-as-usual (high emissions) Deadly heatwaves multiple times per year by 2100 Moderate mitigation (Paris goals) Serious impacts, but more manageable with adaptation Aggressive climate action Risks significantly reduced, livability preserved in most areas 🧠 Bottom Line: Yes, parts of the Middle East may become temporarily unliveable due to climate change by mid-to-late century — particularly due to extreme heat and humidity. But whether it becomes permanently uninhabitable depends on global and regional responses over the next 20–30 years. Would you like a map or breakdown of which countries or cities are most at risk?
