My survival strategy so far has been to avoid spending time with political stuff, especially short-term trends, and direct time & energy towards self-development, spirituality, and psychedelics.

Not necessarily proud of it but I think it's an effective way to blind yourself from the drain of time & energy that politics can be in someone's life.

Of course the long-term trends and patterns are part of developmental psychology, such as Spiral Dynamics and The 9 Stages of Ego Development, so one has to study them even if narrowly focusing on personal development.

Great video from Wagner Moura on the Bolsonaro-Trump connection (corruption), and how the US, under Trump, coerces and extracts natural resources from other countries:

Flavio seems to have 1.7% above lula as an average of public surveys conducted. He will likely win by a small percentage like that.

I actually extend mentally the concept of political stuff to anything else like all of the doomerism about economy, dating market, etc. It's all kinda like the weather, are we gonna do what about it? Do a little rain dance if it doesn't rain? We just stick with preparing the best we can. It's such a major waste of personal time, it's fine to do some deep research now and then like I did recently, but getting stuck in the day-to-day shenanigans of politics and other societal crap really drains us. Same goes for watching the news, even if it's for stuff like tech or scientific research. Like those endless videos about quantum computing, fusion energy or LLM doomerism.

Politics is a shit show in Brasil. It would be comic if was not tragic.

This guy here Jones Manoel from Pernambuco is up for a Radical Left. No more negotiations with Extreme Rigth. He talks about going towards them. About a Revolution.

Where did we saw this same pattern?

Not the I would not love people to go radical towards these Motherfuckers. But all acts have repercutions.
