I'll see if this lands a synchronicity. Are any coders interested in partnering with us to make a contracts portal for a percentage? I have some hobbyist knowledge, but honestly, I was just going to save up and drop some money on this, because I don't understand coding databases well enough to pull it off. My business partner is sales focused and nobody else I am looking at recruiting to the team is good at the technical side.

@Nilsi Well put. That will definitely come, I can talk to anyone, but developing the skills to do it effectively as you do takes work and time. Its time I can dedicate a certain amount of and will week to week. Talking about gatekeepers, I am not asking for any specifics just a yes or no to this: Do you have access to gated portals where actual B2B contracts are bought and sold. Because I was told they exist, but so far I haven't found a trace other than vague Chat GPT references to places that don't exist anymore, and companies folded or not running the same service.

@Leo Gura Understood, I'll keep that in mind in my posts and apologise for any flak i've sent your way in previous posts. Now I just need that for yellow lol :D, some way to get off models, patterns, and out of my head more.

Fair point. On an individual level. On a collectively level though: Am I misguided to think not everyone is capable of this? And so to some, this is exactly where they are meant to be for this lifetime, or with the right conditions can anyone progress past green? If people cannot, then the energy they have would be better integrated and put to purpose rather than resisted and pushed into opposition. I understand some of that purpose is to highlight it as simplistic, while the rest is a collective drive for the change to occur. I am well aware of all the problems with relying on a moral compass that is imaginary, and how far into fantasy it can take us. I don't even need to see another tyt video to understand that's half of the message.

Deep but not hard to understand. Let's do a few of them which cross most cultures existing today: 1) Instant Gratification. I want I take. Is a primary reason the world is as bad as it is. While it is natural to meet someone's needs, the speed at which this is demanded does fuel development, at the cost of pressure and stress on the global system. Its certainly going to get worse with gen z. While they are less money-focused, they have even weaker attention spans or resistance to instant gratification. I have seen some signs this is improving, but not much. 2) Different is resisted. Again it is natural to resist something outside of conscious reality, but the level of division is higher now. Contrast and uncertainty are feared more than at other periods in my lifetime, and by more people. This is somewhat influenced by diet and the resulting anxiety of chemical imbalances like sugar and poorer health generally affecting the body/mind. It is also the changing global circumstances, and saturation of media for money needing sensationalism (also reduced attention spans). 3) The Rich are hated more when things are hard. This is a theme throughout history. The more someone's survival is threatened, the less someone with 8 houses, 8 cars and a 500-pound boat is tolerated. The Rich are also able to sit on passive income streams once again in feudal top-down internet domains, making them more isolated; this is one of the biggest non-talked-about points in the inheritance debate. Wealth staying in websites, for example, means the rich kid never even needs to leave his home to see the working man or the real world, creating friction, disconnect, and frankly stupid choices on the part of the elites. See Hollywood for many great examples or almost all large corporations these days, whose workers loathe them. Finally a note on progressives. That's their place leo. Their place is to push against the wall to move it an inch. Your constant denigration of that shows a lack of understanding on your part of their place in the collective. Sure people can be more effective in changing something, if they are capable of it, not everyone is. To constantly put down the populist left is to push it all to the right, but you and most others still haven't learned it.

You are taking slightly more control over your reality by relaxing a rigid structure of understanding, and letting yourself form different conclusions about your life. 1, You are deciding to feel depressed when something is bad 2, You are deciding what is bad. 3, You are deciding what madness is. 4, You are deciding madness would result from an action The real world is spiritual. Physical/Spiritual. It's all the same thing.

Summary of the below: Personally I would see it as a cause for growth and move out. I would remain open to talking to my family and if I lived in a particularly religious community I would keep up with advanced metaphysical studies on religious texts, and use that as a vehicle for my own development but also to meet any questions or queries with something that will open up their own minds, while preserving my own standing in that community. Let's look at this from a few perspectives. 1, Why do you consider religion to be a lie? Its no more a lie than me looking at a tree and saying tree, or your avatar and saying Sandhu. Sure the way religion is taught in your average church is somewhat limited but it can create a code of conduct to live a life by and harmonise a community if that community is able to be harmonised. If you want to consider religion beneficial for a moment, you could flip this and look at its communal aspect. If you want to take it as a vessel for enlightenment, there are scholars of the bible for example that have delved quite far into its metaphysical aspects, I haven't looked into it much but I assume for your family's religion the same exists. 2, Another perspective would be, to move out now and things are usually easier with distance. 3, You are experiencing a contrast, and to achieve what you seem to want, to stay living with your family, while pursuing some conscious development, this is what that contrast feels like. 4, You could alter the belief around the word lie. I indicated this a bit above. Recently, i've had to relax my own definition of the word lie, to allow for people to manoeuvre a bit more freely in their interactions with me. 5, Consider that you are not the only one that visits a place of worship and doesn't go for anything else but appearances and for other reasons (such as community/family), this may make doing so easier.

A very long time ago I said to a Tony Robbins coach, if you are so sure your program works, I'll take it, give it my all, and give you a (small) percentage of my new business rather than the fee. They laughed. There are no guarantees but yourself, your ability to strategize, adapt and your own work ethic. If you are very lucky a good team along the way.

Always and forever you. It would depend on your own evolution and what you could do with, connect with, empathize with or work with. How people had reinforced that within the collective and what biases you'd picked up along the way. I've said this about religion and stage blue often, religion can be tribal or it could be enlightened depending on the observer, individual subjects are more collectively fixed in the model than individually designated. (Hence the collective bias within the model and people's individuality kicking back) Nevertheless, it's much easier for me to tell you that the sour one is sour and the sweet one is sweet.

I am 44. I agree you can slowly make the workspace, those you interact with, and your mind more stable. There are a lot of pros to getting older, you are more used to and comfortable with how you work, and your mind has expanded if you've taken the time to do so and kept it open. I notice a lot of anxiety in those younger than me or at least more uncertainty within themselves, if you've worked through that it no longer plagues you nearly as much. You can learn things like failure is just a teacher, etc rather than a jailor. For me, it's the other variables we pick up along the way. Injuries that harm exercise or create a lack of exercise take you out of peak performance. Right now I am skipping running today because I got 4 hours sleep. Dietary issues cause other body issues, or just general illnesses and considerations you pick up along the way. Sleeping difficulties are more prominent. I've realised how many people have them after dealing with insomnia again for another two months. Mounting stress due to things like family issues, deaths, illness, kids, and heavier workloads. More financial obligations often make changing course in thinking or life more difficult. Greater contrast between your reality and the younger global collective. Loss of people that help frame reality in the way you are accustomed to operating in. Yes, you can always just watch or interact with the next person, but there is a certain random chance at finding another connection irl or even online that fills that void, and of course grief or reflection on what was. To name a few, I am tired again, so the brain isn't working at full capacity, but that's my point. Unless you contemplate the difference, you can accept the reality you are currently in as being as fast as you were when you were 20, but it is not. I talk too quickly for most people, but I realise I am operating in a dull mental space again due to fatigue. I also realise I resist a lot of new patterns that I am not accustomed to, but I catch this and take a day to think about them.

Corruption and Conspiracy/Lies etc are two of the things I have resisted most but I have to accept that what we are aligning with by pulling closer to the eastern authoritarian governments is a dose of both.

I know its just us observing the process of the global realignment. It just sucks is all. Then again Leo corruption in authoritarian governments that we are aligning with is a global norm so *shrug*.

Yeah reading that, it is true. You would need to experience the cultures first-hand to model them effectively, or better put more broadly, but only so much cultural data can be included in a model of human existence. Historic accounts do exist of societies progress but obviously, they are flawed as they are third hand. Language of course is a filter in itself to construct a representation of reality. You - The Writer - The Witness

Models of the human species are inherently going to be reductive, as is every word or sentence you or I could possibly communicate here on the subject. Its a look at a pattern of development. When new patterns emerge, they can be modelled, but as they are not here yet, they are not able to be modelled yet. It is western and anti-suffering in its leaning, also there is a slight collective bias.

This moment is all that exists. You are already infinity. Sure you can do a grand gesture and call it 'grand' or 'large' to give you a sense of wonder. Or you can go pat your dog on the head and scratch it behind the ears, you could also call this large, grand etc.

If you want, like billions of people, you just remake the life you've had now with a few differences. Then your memories will be experienced the same. Sure the names/pictures etc will be different, but what you experience will be similar. This is why barely anyone ever leaves earth. Some of course pick the exact opposite experience and just take the other half of an event, which they could have done already if they took the other perspective on here.

I became the shape of the vortex in my minds eye, so infinitely large that time/space lost all meaning, so I know where I imagine myself when the physical form no longer contains me, and where I will decide to go/be/imagine when I die. Oh and disappearing into infinite love/white light for 5 minutes, hug it with intent (not physically) if you are given that wonderful experience. I think though just being able to fall back asleep after insomnia wakeups is infinitely more helpful. I get these big experiences so not to take reality too seriously. Right now there is an insane amount of energy in my nightly meditations when I wake, more than i've handled before moving through me. Before now I would have it in 5-10 minute bursts, but this lasts as long as the meditation does.

Yes. It is required right now. The US is corrupt. The new global order is corrupt. Utopian ideals are dead in the water, either people get in the mud or they constantly lose.

No they just lie better. I have had to accept that lying is required to win anything against a liar. So liberals need to embrace that and just run constant lies about republicans all day. Just take what works, personal attacks, lies, populism and pressure. The soft era of liberals wrecked them. Denouncing populism wrecked them. Trying to be moral, good-natured, and cooperative, its all a waste of time. But ego aside, this is just the natural progression of authoritarianism rising. That which embraces or mirrors it does better. The aspects of Trump that go against it will cause him problems, the other option is to reflect it while remaining liberal. Both leave a bad taste in my mouth.

It would have been more insightful if you could have looked at Russia's perspective also and done the opposite here. What do they gain by peace and what do they lose by keeping fighting. That way we could have a whole perspective rather than half a perspective. Ukraine From the very same article. @Bobby_2021 “Unfortunately, we’ve always had fewer weapons than needed and are far from matching Russia’s advantages in aviation, bombs, and missiles Ukraine's training far exceeds Russia's. Their current conscription age is 25. Some of this we are now reading is America making an excuse to pull out, it'll lay all the groundwork for that in their media. Though young men have historically been the backbone of most armies, the question of who should serve in the fight is deeply divisive in Ukrainian society. Mobilization is unpopular, and Zelensky’s administration has said further lowering the mobilization age — it’s now 25, which is old compared with other countries — doesn’t make sense when there aren’t enough weapons to equip the soldiers already on the battlefield. So no this is not being considered seriously. This is also reflected on the Russian side with their demographics already being bad, and their casualties being about 3 to 1, people argue 2.5 to 1, but whatever the exact number it's still a lot of Russians dead that they could not afford to lose—especially given the exodus prewar and during the first few months. However, I can acknowledge that Russia can keep losing men for awhile, despite their economic hits, as the Russian population outside of the major western cities can live in poverty more easily. This doesn't tell me why Russia would ever settle for a long term peace, not with BRICS resupplying them. If you'd have said china were cutting equipment to both sides, that would have been more reassuring. Missiles do plenty Bobby they wreck Russian ammunition, manpower, armor and logistics. So let's not try and BS that long-range missiles are not effective in war. Trump pulling out is reflective of the American people pulling out more of NATO and Europe that's the reality, let's not sugar coat it. In the future decades America is going to split further with Europe and be on the opposite side of things or at least neutral (economically speaking, no doubt weapons will still be sold).

Putin and Ukraine need to know that it will get worse for them to continue. They also need to know it will get better for them in peace. Otherwise it will go nowhere. The peace is almost impossible to sell without a lot of hardware coming their way. If NATO, all military alliances and nukes are off the table for Ukraine, there is almost nothing that can be done to stop a new war starting 5 years from now with Russia in a stronger position in terms of land access and logistics, even if they are weaker economically and in terms of stockpiles. They'd need a heck of a carrot for that deal. Ending the war is also a bit of a hard sell to Russia if Trump looks too keen to pull out, as he wants to. Because without US support, Russia can gain a lot in Ukraine also.

@gamblerTry this:

https://syria.liveuamap.com/ This is the map I am looking at it, its different to yours, but I have no idea which is accurate.

Not quite. It's like making Gaza a state directly bordering a large regional power supporting it. I mean in europe there are city states; the size is irrelevant.

When things are hard admit it, and be the change candidate, then you have a large advantage. In this case Democrats should have leaned into populism and change, at least in their rhetoric. Completely giving up their populism has given all that energy to Trump, it's been that way for years, and nobody on the American (center right) in the Democrats, has learned much.
