I agree with this. But i also think our current way of doing things has been pushed to its limits of viability. Fascism is in its renaissance, inequality is higher than ever, global conflicts only seem to get worse and worse, ecological problems are being ignored.

I have been thinking lately that “evacuating” the remaining 2 million palestinians from Israel might be the best course of action. It is a very problematic solution, but the arab peace initiative is not going to happen. Of course it is very easy for me to type this as an outsider.

@Leo Gura @Leo Gura Isnt promoting and pushing leftist ideology the next step in development ? It doesnt sit with me right that continuing neo-liberalism, but just better is what tier 2 politics is. I understand that there is nuance to this and Israel is a good example. I dont think its probable that an Israel where israelis and palestinians live as equals is going to happen. It feels so wrong to say this though. I just want the genocide to stop. For starters.

The Hyperreality problem is crazy. Also my new favorite expression is “teaching your grandmother to suck eggs”. Hyperreal ass comment btw.

Oakeshott’s conservativism was HUGE for me. Conservatism should be a meta perspective that goes along any progressive ideology. I realize im not immune to being ideologically captured, and i have been participating in ideology. I think the political events of the last 10 years, but especially the 2020’s reinforced it in me. With that being said, i think its still correct to say neo-liberalism isnt some kind of Tier 2 / stage yellow political orientation. And the fundamental flaws of capitalism are very prominent today.

I have never got too deep in it, but i remember i liked what i read from Dogen’s The Shobogenzo. https://www.urbandharma.org/udharma12/shobo.html

@OBEler I remember you posted about Sadhguru recently. He has an alien story. I cant find the original video now, but he talks about it on the Joe Rogan Experience.

Well, do you mean UFOs or Aliens here? I cant recall a convincing video about an Alien. I know there are several pictures that could be absolutely real. Either way, my standpoint is still that its more likely than not that there is non human intelligence on earth. I stay opemninded about it. My uncle swears that he saw an UFO by the way.

@OBEler What i found interesting about it is that the Alien has a better methaphysical understanding than what i imagine a normie could come up with operating from a materialistic point of view. Im not saying its head on, but they surely did research during the creative writing process. Do you think its just full on larping and i just see into it too much ? I also like that he says nuclear war is going to happen in about 50 years which would put it right at the start of Trumps first term. But its easily explained with the video itself coming out in 2016 i think. Its also pretty cool that he talks about AGI, which is a super salient topic today, but not in 2016. Except within science fiction i guess. So thats why i like it, i think of it more like a meme, rather than reality. And yes i absolutely entertained the idea that it could be real somehow, but i admit its rather silly. Maybe i shouldnt have posted it in this topic though, because now i became the disinformation agent.

This guy lives rent free in my head. For people who never seen it its a 4 parter, all of them uploaded on the chanel of this video. I dont think its real or an actual reenactment (not impossible), its just interesting what he is saying.

I mean i understand the motivation and reasoning behind the topic, but rationalizing why women shouldnt feel disrespected by it, is crazy work.

I’ll watch the video you linked tonight or tomorrow probably. In the video i linked Chomsky says pro Isrealis cancelled him. Maybe its not the full context or i misunderstood.

I think i’ll still get his book, but its a good shoutout to notice when he is getting lost in ideas and shouldbes. Chomsky about Finkelsteins career

Regarding the source or root cause it could be worth looking into chronic emotional neglect. https://www.reachlink.com/advice/childhood-trauma/what-nobody-tells-you-about-childhood-emotional-neglect/ Sorry i sent this before i read your comment. I guess i wont delete it regardless.

I only heard about him first a few days ago. The book gets kudo’s from Mearsheimer. Also he is apparently in good relations with Chomsky.
