I was thinking how Their discussions might go and got this from ChatGPT. It is on point, lol. I am sure at least on of these discussions happened in real life. Hypothetical Scenario: Elon suggests a completely self-driving, government-run fleet of electric vehicles for the U.S. military. Trump, wanting to build on the idea, says, “Let’s make it a fleet of self-driving tanks.” Elon nods, and with a straight face, adds that they should be solar-powered to save costs. Advisors around the room respond with awe, exclaiming “brilliant” and “next-level thinking,” though the practicality of solar-powered, autonomous tanks in military operations is never seriously discussed. Rather than refining the ideas or grounding them in reality, the ego-stroking keeps the discussion floating in the realm of “unlimited potential.” Hypothetical Scenario: Trump starts railing against the media and big tech for being “unfair” to him during his presidency. Elon jumps in, agreeing, and complains about regulators who are trying to slow down his projects. Each takes turns describing their frustrations with government agencies, portraying themselves as “rebels fighting the system.” Rather than suggesting that there might be legitimate reasons for regulation or that public figures should work with oversight bodies, their mutual advisors egg them on, calling each man a “maverick” or a “trailblazer.” The meeting ends with both feeling more validated in their grudges and less willing to listen to constructive criticism. Hypothetical Scenario: Elon is enthusiastically talking about his plans to colonize Mars. Trump, looking for an equally grand idea, suggests that if he were in office again, he’d open a “Trump-branded casino” on the Moon. Rather than questioning the feasibility or the logic of Trump’s idea, Elon smiles and responds, “That’s genius—imagine the SpaceX shuttles going back and forth to the Moon every weekend for VIP events.” Each of them praises the other’s “visionary” thinking, and everyone in the room applauds, further inflating both egos without anyone pointing out the logistical or ethical issues. -

Jesus, being eaten a bit by a bit. Defenitely a contender for the Top 10 worst Deaths in the history of creation. -
In one of your blog posts, I recall you predicted that Americans wouldn’t back Trump as strongly as they did in 2016, reasoning that they had a level of decency that would prevent them from electing someone like him again. This speaks volumes about the level of moral and intellectual development of Americans. People often perceive Americans as selfish nasty and unkind compared to Europeans. Decency was long gone in America.

Who cares about Leo? Lol

Much of the mental work involved in understanding humans and reality includes examining falsehood, but this brings its own risks. If you focus too intently on falsehood and position yourself too closely with it, you can start to absorb it. I’ve noticed this in myself. For example, if you’re trying to understand racism and consume a lot of racist content without any mental distance, you might unconsciously start developing racist tendencies. In this sense, you treat Falsehood as a dangerous microorganism, that you want to understand but you also make sure to isolate yourself from it because it can easily infect you. To counter this, I created a rule for myself: Observe falsehood from a higher vantage point, keeping it at arm's length. Let contemplating falsehood be a relatively small part of your mental work. Focus primarily on the Truth, allowing falsehood to be a secondary project that complements your search for the Truth.

Prevent your mind from going to extreme scenarios too early. One needs a peaceful and realistic mind in order operate in life. Why would you get thrown into prison for pursuing your life purpose in the first place? Most of the world's countries are authoritarian, you know. And people live in them just fine. The worst thing that could happen is a civil war and that's unlikely.

You do politics good or ignore it all together

Could someone at least scrap this forum and provide us with a copy.

sorry to intrude on your journal but make sure to use nicotine patches or gum to decrease physical withdrawal symptoms.

I avoid watching movies with my family for this reason, it feels so awkward. Yet I have some radical Ideas in my minds about family dynamics.

Not surprised. This person struck me as intellectually ungrounded since the first video I saw for him. He would fall for the silliest of new age ideas proposed by his guests. Basically, he endorsed Trump because he was called antivaxx, lol. -
I just finished watching this incredible 4-episode animated series called Uzumaki, and it’s brilliant. The premise revolves around a strange curse that transforms everything in a town into spirals. Trees twist into spirals, people get tangled in spirals, some even turn into snails with spiral shells. There are typhoons swirling everywhere, and lovers literally twist together into spirals. why does all of this happen? Because the spiral is asserting its nature, constantly striving to manifest itself in every possible form, until it reaches the most intricate and complete spiral it can create. In the end, the entire town, along with its people, is consumed by this force, surrendering to the spiral and contributing to its ultimate formation. It reminded me a lot of non-duality and the concept of the will of God. Highly recommend!

I was thinking the same after watching that video. -
Some topics are best approached with an extra dose of skepticism considering how common myths are about them. The Soyboy alpha male propaganda is one of these.

Nothing actually happens outside of your dirext experience. If a tree breaks in the forest away from your direct experience, it doesn't break actually. But you will see the result of that event that actually never ocurred. It is like a trick. Things don't happen unless you perceive them, but you will be able to perceive the results of these imaginary events. This goes well with Quantum mechanics. Perception generates reality. Without perception, nothing defined exists, it is just a mass of infinite possibilities.

It is about the purpose before the methods. Bin Laden's purpose was pure terrorism (despite whatever false notions he used to propose). Israel's purpose is self defense. You cannot let a milita group launch missiles on your head day and night and not retaliate. It is important not to overdemonize the west with arguments like the ones you proposed. Bin Laden would have made every pager in Israel explode regardless of the carrier. We are talking about the man that let two air planes crash into buildings full of civilians. The operation done by Israel was neat and it is just the beginning. I think Israel will take more aggressive acts against them in the near future. Btw, the civillian causalities was low compared to the number of targets hit and incapacitated and the destruction of the communication network used by Hezbullah.

Criticizing Israel is not supporting Hammas. Is not that obvious?

Yess!

Almost all the problems in The Middle East is connected somewhere or the other to the presence of Israel. Why do you think Al- Qaeda was founded and then their ancestor, ISIS? Why does Hammas And Hezbullah exist? Why was Iran turned into a religious state? You will find Israel as the first point in the answer of these questions. Pls spare me such childish notions. The same thing can be said about Palestanians but the difference is that they were the people kicked out of their land. I thought Israelis are the ones stealing homes.
-
@Raze Interesting. I didn't know that many people were eager to join Hezbullah. I swear Lebanon is the strangest country ever. Harboring the most capable religious militia group in The Middle East while being the most secular Arab country.
-
The people who decided to create Israel were so idiotic. Stealing a land in the midst of Arab/Muslim countries which is most sacred for them and making a country out of it? What could go wrong? 90% of political instability and the surgance of militias and terrorist organizations in The Middle East is because of the mere presence of Israel.
-
I don't think that's true. 3000 soldiers or supporters severly injured is a great hit at least morale wise.
-
Advocating for a non-judgmental attitude towards criminals and other shunned people would be the first step. Judgment is key player here. If society starts understanding The beauty of non-judgment, it will be willing to understand the points you raised.

@Keryo KoffaThe influence of lingustics on human experience is very limited in well developed languages. Stage green tends to overexaggerate it. You don't need to label every point on a spectrum to notice the differences. It boils down to a simplistic versus complex viewpoint that leads to greater comprehension. Take autism, for instance; it's a spectrum, but we don't have names for each minor variation. Specialists can identify the different variations of the condition due to their deeper comprehension of it.
