  1. Forgiveness, understanding, low expectations, more role model than Authoritarian, intelligent, patient, thoughtful, compassionate, protective, honorable.
  2. https://www.science.org/content/article/meeting-ancestors-history-ashkenazi-jews-revealed-medieval-dna "has roots in a band of no more than a few hundred who survived a population bottleneck in Europe more than 1000 years ago." "was identical in one-third of the people in the excavated plot, evidence that they all descended from a single woman who probably lived 500 to 1000 years earlier."
  3. The genetic testing traces back to only one middle eastern ancestor. Regardless, you can't call everywhere your ancestors lived your homeland, if that was the case then it's the Palestinians homeland as well. Mizrahi does not mean Middle Eastern either, Mizrahi includes as far as India and Chechnya. 1878 census has 86% Muslim, 9%Christian in Palestine
  4. It's not even their(European Jews) homeland. That's like me taking on an old defunct East Asian religion and claiming Hong Kong for my cult.
  5. You don't understand how 'relative' or logic works. Society has never collapsed, we're still continuing Algebra, Geometry, Science, and Arabic Numerals from four-thousand years ago.
  6. The only reason Europeans stay in Israel is because Iran is held in check by the West. Without the threat of the West to Iran, Israelis would go back to Europe out of pure common sense.
  7. War is not necessary, they can go back to Europe without altercation.
  8. I don't understand how people think any borders resolve this, to me it seems quite obvious that these are two cultures that hate each other and will always kill each other so long as they're in the same region. Israel should be removed by the other local nations, Iran should not be held back from defending peace.
  9. No shit, he asked what worked for us.
  10. It could just be your reaction to lactic acid from exercise, you may just need to slowly build up your tolerance which happens naturally. How long has this been a problem, how long have you been exercising?
  11. Growing the community, it will permeate through all of society, and Academia relatively early actually, it just takes time though. But engaging and nurturing the existing community, so as to be a haven for anyone that peeks their head through the door, that will spread it.
  12. The endless clamouring is the only method of progress for the Pacifists, it's a slow gruelling method but it does create change, possibly lasting change.
  13. More or higher intensity exercise, eat only one meal a day, and plan and prep your meals for the entire week. If you drink sugar drinks, get a really nice water bottle, I like the glass ones. Meditation and Yoga as well, including breath work Yoga.
  14. How do you feel during the exercise, and have you ever been a heavy substance abuser, including sugar?
  15. Consider it's target audience. It's not my thing either, if you socialize enough you'll hear the news. Who cares what's going on anyways, it's always the same old same old, just monkeys out there monkeying around, would you read a weekly publication about the happenings in ape colonies?
  16. Cool, Thank you.
  17. Putin, Xi, Erdogan, Netanyahu,.... Motives, abilities, strategies, struggles, alliances, ...
  18. If Tony doesn't exist then his definition of enlightenment doesn't exist right? Which makes it impossible to be true. His definition says you don't exist so how would ever know his definition anyways? How would you ever ponder it? Consciousness is not a mind nor has one, at the same level that Tony is not a person mind is not a thing either and I don't mean brain, thought is not a thing, thoughts don't exist at that level either, the thought enlightenment doesn't exist at that level either. He's a charlatan buddy, his whole schtick falls apart with the level of logic of a ten year old. He's a master manipulator, a sociopath. Why would " enlightenment already is" need to be said if not to communicate it? To communicate means from one thing to another, so i guess you personally might say your imagination to You, but at the level that Tony is trying to talk about You nor your imagination exist. Tony's schtick is that people don't exist, he misses the rest about how at the level of 'people don't exist', nothing exists, not thoughts, not a mind, not imagination.
  19. Why would Tony need to say that? Why would he care to? Is he not right there trying to teach someone? Are you not listening to him and trying to understand him? The "as you are already" is the fraud or delusional part. "You" refers to a being, he's speaking to someone, "you", so he's saying there's no need for learning You 'already are', and yet he's trying to get you to understand. It's a contradiction. In the context of what Tony is trying to talk about, there is no you, there is no Being, God, or Individual in what Tony is trying to talk about. How can the word You be used and it not mean something less than absolutely everything, it implies something specific, not Everything as one, and so does trying to teach it at all. If Tony is enlightened, then he knows no one is separate from him right? So why is he then trying to teach them that no one is separate? "todays lesson that I want to teach You is that We are all One, there is no You or Me, that's illusion, do you understand? Yes I understand what You're saying" That's some schizophrenic manipulation that he's puting out there.
  20. Enlightenment is when a person knows what Tony is saying. Saying what Tony is, is schizophrenic or at least contradictory given that any word's sole purpose is to communicate, as in between two things, so it wouldn't make sense to say 'enlightenment is' because any word can only divide. If 'enlightenment is' then why is Tony needing to talk and teach about it, that's either schizophrenic or predatory fraud. If Tony is right then why are you asking about it? People do exist, and people can be enlightened, that doesn't mean that any narrative is anything other than a narrative though, exist is a narrative a long with reality but there's still both reality and existence. Tony is lost on the concept of non duality, he only speaks about it, it wouldn't make sense for someone to be so fixated on teaching it if they truly believed no one else existed would it? Who is he trying to teach then? And why?
  21. They wouldn't be successful men if they had that poor of judgment, we live in a society of different classes, men from the wealthy class are not going to marry to a lower class. Your idea of attractive taught to you by your subculture is not what is taught by theirs either.
  22. I think something that's not brought up enough is interactive ev charging. Someone previously mentioned batteries for solar, we already have an interactive grid where charging can be reduced when called on by the power company. Your phone can be set up to do it as well. Pair this with charging stations at work and that takes care of solar energy storage. Power companies used to have reduced rates for people that entered similar programs, Electric Utilities will install more chargers just for it.
  23. Thoughts aren't really thoughts in your head then are they? Wouldn't "my head or mind" imply that I have agency over it? It's not yours if you don't control it is it?
  24. You also can't put reactors in conflict zones due to the potential of being struck by missiles or even just left to run away by it's operators. I personally don't trust American construction or operation of reactors, they can be done safely but it's cultural to cut every corner and to not take precautions that have not yet bet proven necessary by an accident. I don't understand why we can't reduce coal emissions effectively.
