140 times the amount of tonnage of protein that soybeans can produce per hectare. 45% Protein, doubles its mass every 2 days. Purifies water. Complex Protein, not needing additions to get what you need. Taste is mild, with no adverse effects. Classified as a weed and never taken seriously in developed nations. But its the same as corn or any major crop. You don't need seeds. It's too efficient. It gives too much protein, so people suppress it. But it should be in every nation, on every table, and in every hungry country or area. *And if your a farmer, use it to feed your chickens!

You define you.

I rarely blame the people in states. There is some collective blame for having a government that would tolerate idiocy, but in the grand scheme of things risking international incident to indulge a man-child so he can have his toy soldiers around him, and stroke some egos back home, isn't worthy of too much notice when running a country. However it does pose increased risk for the event as a result.

The economic downturn continues in Russia, and for me a collapse is becoming the more likely outcome if they don't give up on taking land they don't currently occupy. 2-3 more years of this? 1-2 Million more casualties? As drone attacks just continue to improve. Maybe but they'll lose a lot of civilians in the winters to come. Not unless Xi, Trump and Modi more directly bail them out. Apparently talks are ongoing right now, as I believe they are looking at this as I am and wondering if they will make it 2-3 more years. But as they get more desperate, the lies get more fantastical; now they are claiming they have taken settlements behind forward lines they are already losing. And some good news on the economic side, the Russian shadow fleet gets more restricted but the EU.

ICE is the American president's paramilitary force. It doesn't matter what they call themselves, that's what they are, the republicans own military force. However using them as bodyguards at a public event is idiotic with how badly trained most of them are. It'll also make them a target for anyone with a grievance, and so it's also idiotic that the Italians would allow it when 20 to 100 guys in suits or alternative military gear would do a better job. Stupidity all around.

Populations are not divided into war lovers and peace lovers. They are divided by institutions and groups that frame violence as necessary and populations that when under fear accept it. Fear is the tool of the dictator and the authoritarian. The only metric you could give me is, how afraid do the population of israel feel right now?

Its from the same model yes. Just as many religions follow a similar model. @Ramasta9 Things share similarities in design and concept, just as you can draw inferences that either subconsciously or consciously the human form or body was influential in many structures or systems because humans are designing them; moreover, human society, as it was, became a model for most things governing it. You are looking at the chicken and the egg concept. Which came first.

Isn't the question on Zionism? The answer is the same either way, look at their actions: Fear of the other is obvious in Zionists. The idealised supremacy of their religion is also obvious. War and conquest are present with their actions in Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, etc, and are also obvious. Its the ruling ideology and their actions toward other countries (and rarely any internal groups or cultures) are what is noticed or matter to foreigners looking in. If you mean does a Zionist who has little power conquer countries or want to conquer countries, all we can go by is their words.

Although it would get eaten, and we might get more fish. I imagine a great green tidal wave of GMO duckweed. It doubles every 24-48 hours. Nothing could eat all of that. Unless it somehow was engineered to perish quickly also.

It does not do well in saltwater.

Yes they say to grow them in clean water, not use it direct from pet shop tanks. I saw a comment on exactly that. So if you take them out of tanks, give them some time reproducing in clean water afterwards, clear most of it and then you've got a fresh batch. Here is a better guide: https://www.wikihow.com/Grow-Duckweed Disinfect the duckweed with potassium permanganate when you've first bought it. Apparently you can purchase it directly also. Yes people supplement their food sources with it and farmers are beginning to see the benefits also. Its perfectly possible to grow a lot very quickly in your back garden, turning it into shakes or using it as a meal supplement. I am considering launching a business using it, it's one option on my mind, but there are many hurdles to selling it, as the video mentions. @Jannes Here is an example recipe from a chef for a salad https://zareflytrap.com/duckweed-recipes/ Here is another for pasta: https://triplemethodrecipes.blogspot.com/2025/12/eat-well-recipe-duckweed-pesto-pasta.html And here is a shake: https://www.vinatura.store/blogs/articles/duckweed-shake-recipes

Okay let's explore that. If the mind is in an altered state enough to put the ego aside and give you a subconscious message, is this separated? Or If the mind is undergoing a simple processing dream about the day, we have many of these, is this separated? Or You are exploring a different version of reality to see if you can exist within it, or experience a more severe lesson of a problem you have so the 'real' one is not as hard to handle for your nervous system, is this separated? None of these, to me, are separated from the universe (You in a verse or your inner verse) or from what I would call the experience of life.

You can decide anything is separated or not.

What does it mean to create reality to you personally Leo? Thanks for sharing any insights.

Universally there is no separation between the me growing my hair and the me sweating now as I lift weights; the river running or air running through my hair, the me at work counting money, the light travelling to hit a rock ten billion lightyears away so I can see it a certain way, or the me reading this right now. There is no illusion. Just this.

Its a short cut. Love what you hate. Doesn't mean be a doormat or agree with everything, it means love it. Including your natural responses to it. I've never seen someone respond when I say: Any emotion is infinite. But with love you as an individual can cease to exist entirely, yes. When translated to a non spiritual context, this can be met with abuse, but when in a safe loving space, it can translate to being everything at once. *Little test. Try loving every word everyone in this thread has written.

To me, a dilemma is where two equally viable options emerge. In the past I have always combined them. How do you choose between them in this context? Imagine they were radically different, and led to different life outcomes, to the point that combining them appears difficult to imagine. I will refrain from describing them, because it's the process you'd go through that I am interested in rather than a bias toward one or the other. @Olaf

Well America's creating another generation of terrorism it will have to fight. That's always useful to give people jobs so they can complain and live in fear for a few more generations. To be honest with you I am not surprised America has a child jail crammed with young minds learning to hate the US. Seems par for the course. Its a horrific country. This deportation is the catalyst for a multitude of civil issues stretching on for generations. From displaced families, illegally killed individuals, racism, and perception of racism eroding relations with the actual police. All trust in the state disappearing from 30% of society, with 20% likely undecided. After the drop from fear. I'd be surprised if illegal immigration doesn't go up in the long term, as nobody will trust legal immigration for multiple generations.

Fear of the other. Supremacy of a religion. A tool of war and conquest.

They cannot. No matter what Trump does it will never compare to ethnic cleansing or genocide. They could shoot 10,000 protestors and it wouldn't matter. Maybe if they are under direct and immediate threat, such as large scale civil unrest, which is a distinct possibility.

Release all ego and you end up a walking carpet for everyone else. You have to retain a grasp on reality to live in it, and the ego is a necessity. You can take 6 months retreats now and again to loosen all Egoic-ID connections. but you have to reform some to continue to exist, even if they are loose. This is why ascended masters used to live in isolation. Because loving the world around you is easy. Loving someone hitting you is not. Its still possible, like it is to love the measures taken to defend against them, heal them or protect yourself, but its not easy to maintain what you would consider a higher vibration in real life. I guess I should have moved to central america with everyone else

Some objective 5.2 GPT Analysis along with countries that would most benefit: Duckweed as a Tool to Reduce Hunger: Climate Limits and Realistic Potential There is a recurring claim that duckweed can double its mass every two days and reach ~46% protein when dried. These claims are largely accurate under optimal conditions and warrant serious discussion regarding its role in food security. Biological facts (well-supported): Several duckweed species (Lemna, Wolffia, Spirodela) can double biomass in ~24–48 hours under ideal conditions. Dried duckweed commonly contains 40–46% protein by dry weight. It contains all essential amino acids, with relatively high lysine compared to cereal crops. Growth requires still or slow-moving freshwater and adequate nutrients (especially nitrogen and phosphorus). Climates where duckweed grows well Tropical climates (optimal) Temperature: ~20–35 °C Examples: Sub-Saharan Africa (non-arid zones), Southeast Asia, parts of Latin America Advantages: Year-round growth No winter die-off Highest protein yields per area Subtropical climates Temperature: ~10–30 °C Examples: India, southern China, northern Africa, southern US Seasonal slowdown but reliable production most of the year Warm temperate climates (seasonal) Temperature: ~5–25 °C Examples: Europe, northern US, East Asia Strong summer growth Winter dormancy or die-back; not year-round without indoor systems Climates and conditions where duckweed struggles or fails Cold climates Sustained temperatures below ~5 °C Growth halts; surface freezing kills biomass Only dormant survival, not productive cultivation Arid and semi-arid regions (without infrastructure) Duckweed requires standing freshwater High evaporation and water scarcity limit feasibility Can work only with wastewater reuse or lined ponds Saline or brackish water Duckweed is not salt-tolerant Unsuitable for coastal or saline aquifers Fast-moving water Rivers and flood channels prevent biomass accumulation Why duckweed is promising for hunger reduction Extremely high protein yield per unit area (higher than soy, maize, wheat, or rice) No soil required Minimal land footprint Can grow on nutrient-rich wastewater Rapid harvest cycles (days, not months) Best applications: Protein supplementation (not a sole food source) Animal feed to boost meat, egg, and fish production Dried protein powder for emergency nutrition Why duckweed is not a standalone solution to famine The limiting factors are not biological but structural: Cultural acceptance varies widely Requires processing (washing, drying) to be safe Accumulates heavy metals if grown in polluted water Needs basic infrastructure for storage and distribution Most famines are driven by conflict, governance failure, or distribution breakdown—not absolute food scarcity Bottom line Duckweed is biologically exceptional and climatically viable in many famine-prone tropical regions. However, it is not a silver bullet. It is best understood as a high-efficiency protein tool that can strengthen food systems where water access, governance, and basic infrastructure exist. Used correctly, duckweed can reduce vulnerability to hunger. Used alone, it cannot solve famine. Countries that would most benefit Nigeria Largest population in Africa Extensive freshwater systems (Niger Basin) High protein deficiency rates Even modest supplementation would affect tens of millions Democratic Republic of the Congo Abundant freshwater and ideal climate Chronic food insecurity driven by conflict, not land scarcity Duckweed could provide decentralized nutrition in unstable regions Ethiopia Large population facing recurrent food crises Highland limits exist, but lowland and wastewater systems are viable Strong gains as protein supplement during drought cycles Uganda Dense freshwater access (Lake Victoria basin) Existing aquaculture sector (duckweed fits naturally as feed + food) High feasibility relative to neighbors Kenya Strong urban wastewater reuse potential Useful especially in informal settlements and peri-urban zones South Asia (population density + protein deficits) India One of the world’s largest undernourished populations Subtropical climate ideal for duckweed Extensive irrigation canals, ponds, and wastewater streams Cultural barriers exist but are not prohibitive Bangladesh Near-perfect climate and hydrology Chronic land scarcity but abundant water Duckweed already known locally in some areas Extremely high protein-per-hectare payoff Pakistan Significant malnutrition burden Viable in canal systems and wastewater ponds Best used as animal feed multiplier and supplement Southeast Asia (high feasibility, fast scaling) Indonesia Tropical climate, abundant water Decentralized island geography favors local protein production Strong fit for aquaculture integration Philippines High food import dependence Duckweed can boost domestic protein resilience Strong compatibility with fish farming Vietnam Mekong Delta provides ideal conditions High institutional capacity for agricultural scaling Fast adoption potential Latin America (lower hunger rates, high efficiency) Brazil Hunger exists in pockets, not nationwide Duckweed could significantly aid poor northern and urban regions Strong wastewater-to-nutrition potential Haiti Severe food insecurity Suitable climate Infrastructure constraints are the main barrier, not biology ⚖️ Key analytical clarification Duckweed would not “end world hunger” even if adopted everywhere. However: In the countries above, protein availability—not calories—is often the binding constraint. Duckweed directly addresses that constraint at unprecedented efficiency. If implemented at scale, it could reduce global undernourishment by tens to hundreds of millions, especially among children. 🧠 Bottom-line judgment (strictly analytical) Biology: Excellent Climate fit: Strong in most hunger-affected regions Impact potential: High but uneven Main obstacles: Governance, conflict, infrastructure, cultural acceptance Duckweed is best understood as a force multiplier for food systems, not a replacement for them.

Yes it purifies the water you put it in. Which is another good property of it. But like any plant if you put toxins in it, you get junk out. This is no different to any plant you want to eat, only it has the added bonus of being able to purify as well, and being extremely fast growing. Which is the point. If you put this inland in your own water, you get huge yields. If you put it in some random river, the result is a weed.

For all the reasons I hated Russia shooting Ukrainians protesting. I am now see that in America. It is a country run by fascists, that does whatever it wants around the world, invades whoever they like and kills anyone they like. Its a sad world that has become this, where the most powerful countries are all run by people who kill those who oppose them. And 50% of the American population are either in agreement with this or unsure if its bad or not. It was always bad, but its just gone down much further than I thought possible. A world war is almost inevitable.

And you believe this is done via paramilitary in the streets? I could right here and now give you 20 ways to do this more effectively, and there are people far more intelligent than I. It seems incredibly inefficient to send groups of individuals to arrest single immigrants, requiring many vehicles, and extra officers to handle crowds, or this case just shoot them. Its done to suppress civil society, suppress the democratic base, deport legal democratic voters also, cause fear and enough civil unrest to extend his term. This is why it's targeted in democratic areas, done with very little training: 11 times less than other police forces around the world, and done so heavy-handedly with maximum exposure. Brutally yes, we are in agreement. Fear is the way of the dictator or authoritarian. Apparently filming this now labels you as a terrorist and you are put on a list. I am happily, along with almost everyone here, labelled as a terrorist against the American government already due to my disagreeing with their foreign policy. Dissent is all it takes. In fact filming is all it takes now.
