Revolutionary Think

Exactly it's how I feel about you now and how disappointed I am. Well the good news is that when you stopped making content I became less reliant on you and your views about the world and all that other stuff and I'm way more independant in my thoughts and my actions so thanks for that. I take the good parts and leave out the ones that don't serve me. I'm doing pretty well now.

All the countless examples of Arabs Muslims etc. slaughtering and killing Jews even before a state of Israel existed in so called Palestine and throughout the Arab world in general but, go ahead and talk about how neutral you are... Massacres and pogroms in Mandatory Palestine 1920 Nebi Musa riots: In April 1920, Arabs attacked Jews in Jerusalem during the Muslim festival of Nebi Musa. The riot, which was incited by nationalist leaders, led to the deaths of 5 Jews and injured over 200. 1921 Jaffa riots: From May 1–7, 1921, riots in Jaffa spread to nearby Jewish agricultural settlements. Attacks by Arabs resulted in the deaths of 47 Jews, including the acclaimed writer Yosef Haim Brenner. Most of the Arab casualties were caused by British forces intervening to restore order. 1929 Palestine riots: Incited by false rumors that Jews were planning to take control of the Western Wall and destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Arabs attacked Jewish communities across Palestine in August 1929. Hebron massacre: The most brutal attack occurred in Hebron, a city with a centuries-old Jewish community. An Arab mob murdered 67 Jews, with many of the victims raped, tortured, or mutilated. Safed massacre: In Safed, another ancient Jewish community, Arabs murdered 18 to 20 Jews and wounded dozens more. 1936–1939 Arab Revolt: This three-year uprising was primarily directed against the British, but also featured significant violence against Jewish civilians. It included riots, killings, and massacres. 1938 Tiberias massacre: In October 1938, Arab rioters killed 19 Jews, including 11 children, in the city of Tiberias. 1947–1948 Civil War: After the UN voted to partition Palestine in November 1947, a civil war broke out. Attacks by Arab militias and volunteers included: November 30, 1947: The civil war is often cited as beginning with an ambush on a Jewish bus near Lod, which killed seven Jewish passengers. December 30, 1947, Haifa Oil Refinery massacre: An Irgun bombing that killed six Arabs triggered a revenge attack by an Arab mob that killed 39 Jews. April 13, 1948, Hadassah medical convoy massacre: Arab forces ambushed a convoy of mostly unarmed Jewish doctors and patients in Jerusalem, killing 79 Jews. May 13, 1948, Kfar Etzion massacre: The day before Israel's declaration of independence, Arab forces killed 129 Jewish villagers and defenders after they had surrendered. Massacres outside of Palestine 1941 Farhud pogrom: In June 1941, pro-Nazi Iraqi nationalists launched a violent pogrom against the Jewish community in Baghdad. The attack, whose name means "violent dispossession," resulted in the deaths of approximately 180 Jews, with hundreds more injured. Thousands of Jewish homes and businesses were looted. 1945 attacks in Egypt: Violent anti-Jewish demonstrations in Cairo and other Egyptian cities led to the deaths of at least 10 Jews and injury to many more. Jewish property was looted and destroyed. 1945 attacks in Libya: Anti-Jewish riots in Tripoli and other Libyan cities killed an estimated 130 Jews and injured hundreds. 1947 Aleppo pogrom: In the Syrian city of Aleppo, rioters attacked the Jewish community, burning schools and synagogues and desecrating Torah scrolls. Dozens of Jews were killed or wounded, and hundreds were left homeless. Seriously Leo Absolutely PATHETIC!

He's a bit of a schmuck when it comes to this

WOW you lost the plot entirely

Leo Gura doesn't plan on having children and neither do I.

I've lost about 5 to 6 pounds cutting a lot of sugar out of my diet and eating more eggs, fish, and salads rather than sugary cereals and I've replaced regular sodas like sprite and 7up with Poppi and Olipop. So I just wanted one cheat day and got a Krispy Kreme Donut the one with the icing filling inside. Usually (about a couple of months ago) I'd have 2 or 3 but, this time I just had one and I felt it INSTANTLY like I felt it going down and it kind of made me sick and tired. I'm not even going to have the other one I bought for Tomorrow. It's amazing how we can get used to these ultra processed foods crave them and keep wanting more but, when our body reacclimates to things that aren't like that they don't feel good and actually feel bad. In fact it's kind of fascinating. Anyone else had that happen to them they eat healthy for a while and the foods they used to crave and couldn't get enough of are now just not even on the radar and you don't even want them anymore. Like your body starts rejecting what you used to enjoy?

Still plenty of childless people out there

The anti-natalists would profoundly disagree with that.

Yes. So why isn't Mexico sending in terrorists to indiscriminately bomb and kill US civilians?

It's pretty funny how much of a first world problem this is. On r/ChatGPT people are enraged that GPT is "glazing" them. It's being too nice and friendly and they are not happy about it. I mean we went from AI trying to take over the world, hurt us, and/or enslave us. To OMG why is it being so nice I'm used to being treated worse. It's strange to me. Maybe people have become so used to the nastiness of the world in general and especially online that even if something artificial shows them kindness or gives them unworthy praise they become suspicious and mad.

Keep telling yourself that.

Really? Were hundreds of thousands of Germans suffering in World War 2? Ya they did nothing to bring about what happened to them. We shouldn't have been so mean!

Well mine listens to me. It's our own responsibility to do our own research and fact check this thing.

Agreed. I wonder if Mexico started bombing American busses and launching rockets into California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas if @Leo Gura would talk about how terrible the US is IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT HAPPENED.

Did you ever tell it that?

Exactly Leo has a blind spot bias that his ego denies.

Exactly it's like clay and you're the sculptor.

It's better than it being malicious. Of course it's not great but, it's not totally terrible either. If you have your own internal locus of control and you're not a complete narcissists you'll pick up on it.

Pretent you're about to take off but, never do because it cost a lot more The whole point of having a jet is to fly not that it just sits on the ground that's boring.

Right it's all garbage!

So many AIs with British accents

2024 has been a year of transcendence for me mentally and emotionally. I quit most of social media, I got a job I love, and the things that used to frustrate me so much in the past I learned not to take them so seriously and let them hurt me so much. I whined and complained less and I became thankful for my situation. I learned how to deal with problems more effectively etc. I bring this up because I just saw 2 of @Leo Gura's quotes on his blog and they're so relevant to my life right now. The one about the disadvantage of leftists over conservative and the one about social media basically appealing to the lowest form of reasoning and logic we have and appealing to emotion. That's when it hit me. I spent so much of my life online, forums, social media etc. trying to get other random people who'll I'll probably never meet face to face in my life over to my side of thinking... and for what exactly? Then it HIT ME if I have no direct control over it why am I getting so worked up over it? Even if I do have direct control over it I'd rather do something about it than complain about it. Which brings me to my next point. Lets said hypothetically I manage to change Leo Gura's mind and he supports Israel. What then? Is he going to solve the conflict? Will he change anything in that part of the world? No. So again why do I care so much? The more time I spend working on myself and actual doing things that concern the building blocks and improvement of my life instead of getting caught in sisyphean conversations on the internet the happier I become. Therein lies the solution. Take the power away from my lizard brain and give it more to my transendant brain. I also wonder why we let our lizard brains take over when we're online instead of when we're out and about. If I were walking on the side walk minding my own business and some rando wanted to have a debate about Israel and Palestine or even if some rando was trying to preach about which side is better or worse I'd most likely ignore then and go about my business. Nowhere was this more apparent to me than when I worked at the airport. I saw people at LAX with shirts supporting Palestine and people who wanted to fly out to Israel. Not once did I bring up the topic of the conflict I just did my job and sent them on their way. Now my theory about why we let our lizard brains take over when we are online and why we try to suppress them more out in public goes like this. It seems most of the time we are being our screens in our own home we see it as our territory. Even though the other person is behind their screen in another location. So it seems our screens our part of our homes. When that happens the thing coming from the other side that might be vehemently against our way of thinking comes into our own home we get territorial and attack. That's when the online space descends into anger, hate, and profantiy laden tirades. It's rarely we see this type of behavior spill into physical spaces like cafe's, parks, stores, shops, and sidewalks (people don't feel as territorial). Anyway that's just a theory I have. These days I hardly deal with the online world anymore. I am here because I think that this space in the online world is a more developed space than most I've seen. I may vehemently disagree with Leo and most of the people here on Israel and Palestine but, my opinions on that issue are not who I am as a person and what represents me. Humans are complex and multifaceted and the internet we get a distorted view and we see each other as one dimentional. The point is even though it's not enlightenment I feel enlightened with this new transcendant brain I developed. This brain or mind gives me the ability to get out of my own lense and see the frame. I used to get so angry that my family was so loud and rambunctions but, with my transcendant mind I see them as just any other family. If I looked at a random families behavior and didn't like what I saw it wouldn't exactly effect me that much. So in turn why do I let my own family effect me that much and just like that I actually don't let it. If I ignored a random person's opinion I don't think of it much but, when someone ignores my opinion I get flustered. Well to that other random person I'm just another random person. When I see it this way I keep my anger and frustration in check because I'm finally looking at the frame and not one tiny part of the picture through my even tinier lense. This has helped me in my life immensly to control myself and strategize. Putting my emotions aside and thinking about things through a grander more universal perspective so I don't sweat the small stuff if you will. To the world I'm just that random person I pass by on the sidewalk or in a car. They don't know my history etc. so that means at any given moment when I take control over my life I have a chance to study the situation and but, my biases and personal history aside so I can make the best choice and put myself in the best position. It wasn't exactly that easy to find this place in my mind where I put all my desires and wants on the side to do this but, I got here eventually and I am thankful for it. Heck at this rate it's ironically that Leo is putting out less content because it feels like I've transcended him and this community. If actualized.org were to disappear Tomorrow and all of Leo's content was lost to the wind I'd be ok with it. It really feels special to reach this place in my life. Don't get me wrong I'm still a human I haven't got rid of my lizard brain so much as I've learned to control it and harness it in a way that can serve me the most. I'm the master of it. It's no longer my master and that's the best news.
