It’s really just exclusive-validity identity politics, which has roots DEEP in many mammal-species…

Here https://www.amazon.com/Immunity-Change-Potential-Organization-Leadership-ebook/dp/B004OEILH2/ you can read the beginning of a book which explains how our unconscious-minds fight off any growing-up, fighting-off change…

In it, it describes 3 unconscious-mind-development-stages, which I call Kegan3, Kegan4, & Kegan5, simply because there are SO many different systems-of-stages-or-dimensions to keep mindful-of, like Kahneman+Tversky-1 & Kahneman+Tversky-2 ( imprint->reaction system, lower-forebrain, the ideology/prejudice/trained-expertise system, vs considered-reasoning, upper-forebrain, much exercised in programming )

… that it’s idiocy to NOT index all such things, now…

Here, if you scroll down a little, you can see a table describing the different unconscious-mind-development stages, ALL of them, that their-kind know about ( the stage after Kegan5 is the self-conquering-stage, which they never saw or identified, because our world’s process sabotages/prevents it )

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kegan#The_Evolving_Self

Now think about herdbeasts, which don’t have Kegan5’s systems-of-systems stage…

They do have Kegan3, which is the upper-limit that cows are allowed to, by bulls, & they have Kegan4, which the bulls level-off in…

Kegan3 is wanting to be liked, it is associating-with validity ( hence the power of “influencers”, among the younger humans in any time ), it is, fundamentally, ( & I’m not certain that Robert Kegan understood this ) the absorbing experience stage of one’s life, living more in feelings & social-“reality”…

Kegan4, on the other hand, is what I call “BullingBOSS mode”, where validity is zero-sum game: it is exclusive and that is exactly the way bulls work: it is limbic-brain, in basis, so it should hold throughout most mammals!

Now, IF one’s identity & validity are rooted in zero-sum game, then anyone else having any validity reduces one’s own validity!!

Narcissism also works this way, you’ll notice, so now there are 2 fundamental-causes for such instinct, in-play…

Here you will find a book which explains the 5 LEVELS of culture-process, from competitive-nihilism’s culture-level-1, to LIVING IS SELF-INHERENTLY AWESOME!!'s culture-level-5: https://www.amazon.com/Tribal-Leadership-Revised-Leveraging-Organization-ebook/dp/B006IDG1K6/

Here is the dumbed-down TED Talk about their years-of-research: https://www.ted.com/talks/david_logan_tribal_leadership

Culture-level-2 produces conspiricism! Subject-to-narcissism is therefore strategically-cancerous!

Now, what happens if your culture glorifies exclusive-validity identity, and, in so doing, produces a glass-ceiling on one’s culture, which prevents culture-level-4 & culture-level-5…??

One ends-up devaluing, dehumanizing, others, & wanting them butchered, in order to validate one’s culturally-grown prejudice!

IOW, it isn’t just-the-Republicans, the nazis did it, I’m certain that much of the time the Romans did it, different Chinese cultures have done it, same with the Japanese, etc…

It expresses different ways, depending on the identity-anchors of the “valid”, vs the “nonvalid”…

As Logan, King, & Fischer-Wright noticed, you can walk into ANY hospital in North America, with the exception of 1, which outgrew that cultural-glass-ceiling, & if you walk-in looking both professional & self-confident, the junior staff won’t meet your eyes, because the narcissism-culture of the doctors has destroyed their human-validity.

THAT is evidence-based knowing!!

The vignette that Logan gives, in that TED Talk is on that specific section of their book, but doesn’t give enough of it.

Both my parents were medical-professionals, Dad was a medical researcher and doctor, and that researcher bit was significant … because the narcissism-culture of White medicine definitely saturated them both, but his science-culture overrode that, intellectually … for which there ought be no limit to my gratitude, for that gift…

( doesn’t mean I didn’t go no-contact with both of them, though: the narcissism, the exclusive validity that doesn’t include me is toxicity/cancer, in any “family” or “community” )

( btw, the personal-stuff is only so that you understand the experience-induced-understanding: it isn’t just theory, it’s earned understanding. There’s no reason to care about it, otherwise: it’s just context/perspective, so leave me out from any “care” or “concern”. )

Now when you’ve made your culture narcissistic, AND you’re glorifying Kegan4’s BullingBOSS mode…

…AND you add-in non-accountable authority’s rule … then sociopathy’s the result, isn’t it?

It is produced by this configuration of culture-forces!!

( definitions: psychopathy means incapable of empathy, because one’s mirror-neuron-system, or something, just doesn’t function, so other-lives are just meat-marionettes…

sociopathy isn’t brain-intrinsic, it is psychologically-produced analogue-of-psychopathy, through systematic imprinting ( that Kahneman1 imprint->reaction system ), until the programming produced it. )

So, anybody here who wants to read just how evil “normal” can be, please read some of Angela Davis’s “Women, Race, & Class” book … https://www.amazon.com/Women-Race-Class-Angela-Davis-ebook/dp/B0054KKRKY

& you will begin understanding just how spectacularly wrong our assumptions are, re human-culture-produced-outright-evil, from the utterly stomach-turning historical-facts she’s putting into that…

& then you will begin understanding that when prejudice is the ruling-religion, then the nazis were normal, in evil.

So, really it all comes down to specific identity-forces:

• Kegan4, unconscious validity-narcissistic BullingBOSS-mode, being glorified,
• culture being ruled by narcissism, systematically, with an invisible “glass ceiling” preventing culture-level-4 from being known within their culture, &
• nonaccountable-authority garrotting evolution
• our unconscious-mind’s innate mechanisms for preventing growing-up, fighting growing-up off, as “Immunity to Change” identifies, & it gives us simple methods, that work, for getting past the unconsciously-manufactured-obstacles we grow, to block our evolution.
• entirely possibly more, that I’m not aware-of, or not remembering now…

For the depression, get outside-in-daylight for at-least 30-mins every day, if you can ( or use a SAD light, when it’s gloomy ).

I had to live “in a lightbox”, with 500-watts of fluorescent daylight lighting, in my room, to keep me functioning at all, after I ditched the anti-depressants…

but it worked.

Make your waking-up alarms be lights, which are silent, instead of noisemakers:

warm-white, 1st, then a 2nd timer, 5+mins later, with daylight: it alters your melatonin balance ( the researchers who discovered that yes, in fact, light does alter melatonin, in spite of them not having accepted that as true…

shone lights in behind people’s knees, & even without “light receptors” in the skin there, the effect kept being measured.

Light is THE wakeup-input that people SHOULD be using, not noise! )

1. Consider perspectives that are DRASTICALLY different, in roots, from what you were culturally-formed in.

You mentioned Alan Watts, please read this book, which he called his “I TOLD you so!” reference, written by a woman who was exploring the far-East back when women didn’t have legal-personhood…

https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/download/Buddhism-Philosophy-and-Doctrine/en/Alexandra David-Neel - The Secret Oral Teachings in Tibetan Buddhist Sects.pdf

There is a truth in that book, in one of the footnotes, which David-Neel gave only half of:

There are 2 kinds of people in the world:

• moderate-path realizers, &
• steep/savage-path realizers.

IF you are a moderate-path realizer, THEN do NOT take the savage-path-realizer’s “medicines”: they are deadly poison ( her term ) for you.

IF you are a savage/vertical-path realizer, THEN do NOT take the moderate-path-realizer’s “medicines”: they are deadly-poison for you.

Cultures work differently, & the lives born-into different cultures get formed into those cultures, so that lives born into “macho” cultures cannot value female-validity as equally-valid, because the culture prohibits that…

( there is a 6-year-shorter male-lifespan in fragile-masculinity cultures, btw: it may make for some cultural “male-supremacy”, but it abuses women AND it kills men: a lose-lose condition )

I may have mentioned these to you, before, but again, they are SO fundamental, for understanding our world, that once you see the world through understanding’s eyes, you cannot go back to the “blind” condition you were living-in, before…

Lanier’s book “Foreign to Familiar” explains WHY president Carter spent literally-days talking family with the Arab Middle-East leaders he was meeting, before getting down to brass tacks…

Hofstede’s “Exploring Cultures” explains how all cultures fit-together through his cultural-dimensions theory…

& gives examples of the different-kinds-of-reactions that people formed in other cultures do,

and once one sees those examples, then one can better-understand other people, from other cultures, throughout the rest of our world.

( IOW, you’ll have significantly-less miscommunication with these 2 books IN you, than not.

You decide if altering your life that-way is worth something to you, & if it is, then invest, please. )

IF you’re from North America, THEN please read Paul Fussell’s book on the North American Class System, & see how the reactions/prejudices he identifies seep-through, & shape, EVERYthing in this continent…

& then also read Woodard’s “American Nations”, to understand-better what’s really going-on!!

The US has been highjacked by the confederates: what the corporates call a “reverse takeover”.

The clearer you underestand what’s going on, in the world, the more likely you are to survive it, right?

Kahneman’s “Thinking, Fast and Slow”, is on the 2 thinking-systems in our brains ( see the book “Top Brain / Bottom Brain” for evidence that Kahneman & Tversky’s “System 1”, the imprint->reaction system, is actually lower-forebrain,

& their “System 2”, the considered-reasoning system, is actually upper-forebrain. The recent discovery that programming is upper-forebrain, instead of Broca’s & Wernicke’s areas, the language centers, doubly-backs this )

& when you understand Kahneman’s book THEN you will understand that the imprint-reaction-system, which is what all ideologies/prejudices/assumption-river-“religions”, etc, ARE, is highjacking the world, throwing-from-the-world both objectivity & correct-reasoning, THEN you will see that it doesn’t matter which ideology wins:

IF ideological-REACTING wins, THEN … the world’s lost.

Objectivity & correct-reasoning MUST win, or humankind’s incapable of surviving ClimatePunctuation, this century.

Finish waking up, iow!!

“The Elements of Journalism” is an important book, for understanding the process of your doing journalism, of your making-peace with the different balances between quick-understanding vs rigorously-correct-understanding…

& why for-profit journalism isn’t trustworthy, because it’s propaganda, not journalism: it’s gaslighting, fundamentally…

The book “Corps Business: the 30 MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES of the US Marines” is sooo good a parenting book, that a hippie-woman & mother whom I loaned my copy to, years ago, told me she “wished I’d read that years ago”.

Henry Cloud’s book “9 Things You Simply Must Do” is important, too.

The whole “education” ( with the falsifying-quotes ) in the West is actually patterned on the lower caste Hindu “education”, engineered to prevent autonomous-capability…

John Taylor Gatto, who destroyed his teaching-career in his acceptance-speech for the New York State Teacher-of-the-Year Award, discovered this, in his later research…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Taylor_Gatto#Main_thesis

IF children in school KNOW they’re loved, KNOW they’re valid, KNOW they’ve rights, … THEN how could the institution possibly manipulate them, to make the institution look good??

However, WHEN the institution has broken validity, self-certainty, etc, from the children in its power, THEN it can use PROVISIONALLY-bestowed ‘validity’ to make the children into the puppets it needs … ( I’m only being slightly more bitter-in-phrasing than Gatto himself was, btw, … this concept HE caused me to be understanding… )

US education was engineered to PREVENT any more Lincolns or Franklins, to make the population into the corporate-acceptable “consumable human-resources” that such operations wanted…

It was the coal industry who paid-for the establishment of education, in the US, according to Gatto.

That only makes-sense when you understand that it didn’t want any more interference/disruption, it wanted workers who obeyed, & “education” taught obeying…

( I’m self-educated: don’t even have North American grade-11, which is equivalent to European grade-10. Decades of force-mitigating literal-brain-decimation, 7+ years of homelessness, etc, didn’t stop me: understanding-stuff’s MY addiction.

Wisdom can be an addiction. Self-evolution can be an addiction. Addiction’s just a technology: it’s neutral, itself.

What it is that one happens to be addicted-to, that makes it either bad or good. : )

IF you ask LivingSpirit ( whatever you call it: labels are irrelevant, attitude & relationship are the whole substance that matters : )

to bring them back into connecting with you,

AND you let-go, letting LivingSpirit do the work,

THEN you may, in future, find actual result of that.

Some people find that it works best when they write the request on paper, & after meditating/concentrating on it for … say 1.5h … then releasing it into flames, works best…

You have to let-go & trust, though: so long as you’re torquing/dragging-around LivingSpirit, it can’t do its work right, see?

I just realized: Trump’s religion includes Apartheid.

& he thinks the white-nationalist gov’t of bygone South Africa is good…

That has implications, for what his plans are, & how he reacts, throughout the next near-decade…

There are psychological-thresholds that have to be met, or that when-crossed, are tipping-points…

3x / week is the minimum-threshold to sustain a yt-channel, or social-site community, as existing,

4x / week is the minimum-threshold to grow it.

It’s actually identical to our fitness-workout-threshold: 3x / week sustains our health, 4x / week brings us closer to our optimal health.

Going significantly above that doesn’t make much ( if any ) positive difference, it seems…

( there are other thresholds, like keep just-connecting videos to 3-mins, which I learned on the ProVideoCoalition forum, a decade or 2 ago…

Also, one has to avoid becoming a 1-trumpet “band”, right? )

Please consider that there are differen sub-populations of humanity, & some think visually ( which I never would have imagined ), some think kinesthetically, some auditorially, some in abstract-shapes.

The book “Collaborative Intelligence” … can’t remember the authors’ names, sorry, is on 3 of those, & how to accomplish stuff, for one’s own cognition-type…

But remap that basic-concept … onto the posts:

IF all your posts are appealing-to, or geared-to, the same subset-population ( whether in cognition-type or in any other way of dividing-populations-up ), … then that’s overtaxing that 1 subset, and not tapping the others, see?

So, find what dimensions of diversity that you care about, & intentionally make the posts more diverse in those dimensions, so as to include more potential-people!

The book “Command Attention” … by a former USMC officer, sorry, don’t remember the guy’s name, is also pertinent…

He pointed-out that if he wasn’t reading “Ebony” magazine, etc, then his office’s stuff would be too white.

The producer-of-content needs to be consuming-diversity-in-their-content-diet, too, see?

( that book contains that as 1 single little point, in the whole thing:

it’s an awesome basic-training course for marketing, if you want such competence : )

Please consider the book by Dib, or Dibb, “The 1-Page Marketing Plan”, as it’s sooo to-the-point, for growing a product or service…

Could you make ( I’ve never been in that community, so if I’m botching how it works, sorry in advance ) a weekly poll about what the most-interesting new polls would be?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_famine_of_1930%E2%80%931933

6-7 million lives exterminated seems significant, to me.

Holodomor was a significant part of that, targetting Ukraine.

The same Ukraine that Putin’s trying to genocide to “de-nazify”.

Evil’s evil, & tends to have the same kind of intent, recurringly.

Time your move right, & consider Canada.

Fair warning, though: I consider it inevitable that Trump is going to be declaring war on Canada, because Canada won’t make itself his personal sycophant/property.

The reason he wants Greenland is so as to cut-off all Atlantic trade with Canada, same as Alaska allows him to cut-off all Pacific trade, & then he can more-easily crush/destroy our lives.

However, he’ll be fighting war on 3 fronts: to the south, civil-war, AND Canada, & so therefore we’ll have a fair chance to outlast him.

that “superstructure” XOR “base” paradigm is insane.

Do any people always think like that??

Marx made a fundamental error, in all of his thinking: he presumed that communism’s meaning would be everybody-owning-everything, in universal fraternity.

ACTUAL communism expressed its essence in Brutalism: nobody owning anything, & authority-over-others being the “gold” that everybody was grubbing-after & fighting-over.

( there is a fundamental law in human behavior: the treatment a resource, or tool, gets, is the lowest-common-denominator of the ones who own it.

So, if 5 people own a tool or resource, & 1 couldn’t care less if it is butchered/broken, then the other-4’s care for that tool/resource don’t matter, the one who mistreats it because they don’t value it, defines the level-of-care that that tool/resource gets.

When EVERYBODY doesn’t care, because nobody is allowed to own their own things, then Brutalism becomes the result.

In architecture, in tractors, in aircraft, in everything.

For fine-cherishing to happen, the owners of the something have to have fine-cherishing for that something.

That, itself, falsifies communism.

The fact that YOUR own life is something that YOU alone can value sufficiently, YOU are the only someone who’s going to lose it, when death-process shatters your unconscious-mind … that itself means that you have to have necessary & sufficient experience with personal/private property while living, in order to have proper boundaries when dying, so you can concentrate on your dying-process, instead of just being a patsy who’s being distracted for social-process’s sake, e.g… )

Anyways, language can program perception.

Culture can program perception.

Western more-self-centered cultures are less likely to perceive background, in photos or videos, than are more communally-centered cultures ( Asian, was the studies that I’d read about ).

So, linguistic-programming ( I’m not necessarily talking about NLP, don’t even know what scope they claim ) can define one’s awareness, one’s culture, etc…

Therefore, it’d have to be basis, wouldn’t it?

So would ideology/axioms/presumptions/beliefs.

dividing things only into 2 categories, though…

No: it’s oversimplification.

Marx’s mistake is profound, & that mistake was because he ( probably unconsciously ) wouldn’t accept that communism could be anything opposite to his utopian-assumption.

Therefore, his utopian-assumption would have to be basis, & all the rigamarole he prescribed would have to be, in that scheme, “superstructure”, … from that 2-level view, wouldn’t it?

LMAO…

THERE’S A FEEDBACK-LOOP IN CULTURES, so labelling things “basis” & “superstructure” is already systematically ignoring the self-amplification or self-quenching of different aggregates-of-culture, among different individuals!

& then you also have the amplifying-different-harmonics among extraverts vs introverts…

among the different-kinds-of-motivations…

etc.

Interesting, though: I wonder if such fundamental-oversimplifications are characteristic of all such ideologies?

LLM’s are magical for brainstorming-help.

“What am I not thinking-of, in this article I’m about to publish, that people are going to dismantle my article through?”

& stuff like that.

_ /\ _

Here’s a take you are unlikely to encounter among establishment people:

Normally, people think only in the “other humans” category, when they think of “trust”.

That is like the 2D error that some people make, when fighting in 3D ( submarines, space-ships, etc: it is an actual trope )

Instead of thinking in 2D, think in 3D:

or 4D…

The difference between a disintegrating-corpse & a growing-organism isn’t the neutrons, the protons, or the electrons in it: they’re identical between the 2 bodies.

So, something is distorting the behavior of the electromagnetic-force, to make the chemical evolutions be consistently different, between the 2 bodies … & that difference can be called Spirit.

( xor you can call it the mixture of entanglement & probability-wave, if you like: the label is irrelevant, its reality must be acknowledged, by empiricists: the difference is measurable between the 2 bodies, & that measurable, consistent-difference MUST have a cause )

So, now add-in “down” & “up” dimensions…

Do you trust your pet megalodon ( or whatever kind of pet you have )?

Probably, right?

They aren’t viewing you as prey from the dimensions-of-human-evil, are they?

narcissism / machiavellianism / sociopathy-psychopathy / nihilism / sadism / systemic-dishonesty / displacement-of-objectivity / displacement-of-considered-reasoning

are all dimensions of human-evil. There may well be more, but those ones I’m now certain-of.

The psychology-profession only allows 3 ( The Dark Triad ), for the most part.

So, your pet is trustworthy because they’re your friend, & they’re simple, right?

There is an interesting truth in the book “Willpower” by Beaumeister…

Beaumeister identifies that the evidence demonstrates that people who are being crushed ( by addiction ) have to surrender-to-higher-power to wipe-out their enemy-of-their-life.

But Beaumeister doesn’t accept the evidence is true, because he does not accept that as true.

IOW, it’s ideological, for him.

Scientism rejects that, so those in Scientism reject that.

Scientism isn’t Science, however: as Feynman stated “if the experiment contradicts the theory, that proves the theory is wrong”.

Surrendering-to-higher-power WORKS, proveably.

So, is there anything which prevents greater-than-human spirit ( wisdom, intelligence, magnitude, spirituality ) from existing?

I don’t see anything that could do it…

ONCE one accepts that spirits are, THEN accepting that spirits can be diverse … makes sense, right?

So, why not rely-on universal LivingSpirit, itself?

I’m NOT talking about some religious entity.

I’m NOT talking about some ethnically or politically motivated force-of-nature.

I’m talking about a simple, all-pervading spirit which helps ones who surrender-to, & rely-on, it, its simple way.

Now here’s the thing:

Imagine a competition between narcissistic-machiavellian-sociopaths, vs universal-healing-Livingspirit…

Who would win?

Remember the war adage: “Whomever controls the SKY, commands the WAR.”?

All the problems I had trusting LivingSpirit, through the decades, seem to have been caused by the Abrahamic-religions’ imprinting of me with their assumptions & prejudices ( Mom was Catholic, & she got custody, thankfully )

Once I let go of the cultural-prejudices ( like G-D somehow being an insecure male bully, who was intolerant of my-validity ), then it became easier, & the more I rely on LivingSpirit, the easier everything gets…

That’s a simple experiment: it takes little effort, but some spirituality, & the patience to entrust a many-months or few-years process to show its true-nature…

What is the difference in intent between human-evil & LivingSpirit?

human-evil wants power-over-others, concentration-of-all-wealth-&-privilege, others-being-only-puppets, exclusive-validity, etc…

LivingSpirit wants the living ( all of 'em ) to experience healing, tranquility, spiritual-grace, vitality, happiness, delight, learning, understanding, etc…

What is the difference in method between human-evil & LivingSpirit?

human-evil works opportunistically to undermine, to sabotage, to butcher, to shatter, to murder, LivingValidity, LivingWorth, LivingPotential, LivingOpportunity, LivingJustice, LivingTruth, etc…

( the variants VitalPotential might make more sense to you: I’m using Living- because it fits best for my mind … but you alter this so it fits your perceptions, see? : )

LivingSpirit simply offers, universally, & ones who learn how LivingSpirit works, & earn working-with LivingSpirit, gain more & more healing & release-from-crushing-suffering.

What about “conspiracy”? If they’re competing-against-each-other, or are opponents, they must conspire against each-other, right?

Well, not quite…

human-evil does conspire, but much of that is simply unconscious-conspiracy/convention! Prejudice is a perfect example of that.

The convention of prejudice does the conspiring, so therefore legalism can “judge” that prejudice didn’t conspire…

LivingSpirit? well, it seems all-pervading, so it feels what all lives truly-need, & simply flows in ways that work toward healing/uprighting all lives…

I experienced the sentience-state Bodhichitta, once, some years ago…

that let me experience something more similar-to LivingSpirit’s sentience, for a second or 2…

LivingSpirit would walk right into a demon’s face, being total-compassion for the deranged-life that was making harm in all possible ways, … out of concern for that-life…

( & the demon would be powerless to harm the Bodhichitta-one because of how total/pure that kind-of-mind is: that demon would HATE being subject to such seeing-through-everything compassion )

It’s really hard to map that kind of sentience onto human-experience, because it’s sooo total, & pure.

Anyways, all of this is simply to say that I’ve given-up trusting ( being close to/with ) anybody, human or animal, because of the prejudice I’ve been, AND been-subjected-to, & that’s fine with me.

I’ve got relationship with LivingSpirit, to the degree that I can muster, & I trust LivingSpirit.

& that is wonderfully healing.

& seeing how creatures of all kinds & sizes, including insects, are just trying to live their lives & make their lives better according to their feelings, same as humans, … one ends-up having compassion for lives more-universally, which itself is healing…

Letting-go of the involvement-torque, the political-motivation, is healing…

Letting-go of humankind, embracing pure-spirit-itself, can be sooo freeing & healing.

Wishing you your healing, & just identifying that yes, continuums/souls do evolve, even when it looks from human timescale like that never happens, they do.

All the Abrahamic-religion stuff about “forever” … doesn’t match the evidence: ALL of G-D’s children ( souls ) “return home”.

Without exception.

Some are more “wayward” than others, but none get discarded, as the Abrahamic-religions proclaimed nearly-all did.

That is what destroyed the Abrahamic-religions for me: I discovered that some deep-trance memories were from my soul’s other kinds of lives, & that my soul didn’t care about individual-deaths… that took years to adapt-to…

& every time my fundamental-assumptions got smashed by evidence, I had to adapt/evolve again…

& now … I just roll-with-it, evolving.

Universe’s rules are universal, not ethnic/political/local/machiavellianist.

It does its thing, & souls … get caught in lives … & eventually get the hang of their-own kind’s growing-up.

Trust higher-evolution, though: trust your own Soul’s higher-truth, & that can be freeing/liberating.

There’s no rule that says “only other-humans” can be whom/what you trust, is there?

Trust the universal origin-of-all-healing, whatever your label/name for it is, & it’ll lift your “wings” into your sky, more, in concordance with your skill & your meaning-it.

Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen,

There was a post on c/world, iirc, in the last few days, about Trump being heckled in the knesset, in israel…

that page had 3 links to other stories on the site, 1 of which was this:

https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/10/renowned-political-scientist-says-gop-officially-a-full-blown-after-senates-appalling-move/

( that should read “officially a full-blown cult”, btw: the title-to-link generator on that site apparently censors some words?? )

That is 1 of the most spectacular acts of treason against responsible-authority ever accomplished, by electorate, in the US of A, ttbomk.

https://www.project2025.observer/en

I don’t know if they’re still updating that: it’s been at 48% for the last 2 or 3 weeks, & I think things are accelerating, in implimentation…

the whole “it is now law that court-injunctions are powerless against Trump & his appointees”,

& “it is now law that Trump can de-register voters so that the actual-election is more the way he wants it to turn out” ( I have read that this was used to force 2024 to be his victory, by Republicans in various states ),

& “he can now simply remove-citizenship ( “de-naturalize” ) everybody who isn’t a Republican, & this is the law, it is his right” all kinda point to fatal-civilization-cancer, in my eyes.

There’s some company in … can’t remember if it was Hong Kong, or Taiwan… they did that, & it improved the bottom-line.

AND they didn’t have to pay the thing!

Win-win, all 'round…

It was a specific division in a conglomerate, iirc…

They did it as an experiment.

You’ve identified the key, though, right there: “suddenly gaining” is the problem.

You know how caterpillars form themselves a coocoon, & then inside it they are essentially reduced-to-biological-slag, & … smashing themselves against the sides of their coocoon, unable to escape the process, they are re-formed into something that we call a moth or butterfly?

The process has to make someone’s character match their “powers”.

Which is what we, globally, rejected.

Want a gun?

Who says you need to become competent to respect others’ lives ( any species ) AND you need to become competent to respect just how destructive-of-life guns are?

Just provide money, & in many jurisdictions, you’ve now got a gun!

( & people wonder why there were around 700 mass-shootings in the US of A, a couple years ago, in a single year )

IF the process of gaining superpowers forced evolution-of-character, THEN it shouldn’t be a problem.

IF the process of gaining technological superpowers-over-nature/ecology isn’t forcing character-evolution to equivalent degree,

THEN expect the whole human-evil dimensions … narcissism/machiavellianism/sociopathy-psychopathy/nihilism/sadism/systemic-dishonesty/displacing-considered-reasoning-for-ideology/displacing-objectivity-for-ideology/etc to opportunistically wield technology for their-faction’s supremacism.

IF the good have difficulty being machiavellian, but the evil don’t, THEN the evil win, right?

Natural Selection.

Same with ALL those dimensions.

That is why having the spine to make authority only available for the accountable+responsible is a requirement, of true civilization.

We haven’t done that, & we may not allow it to happen.

Universe has no obligation to allow us to survive this-century, though: The Great Filter is an actual thing, & our “entitlement” is just our unconscious-ego’s fantasy.

Toddler-character with nukes isn’t infinitely-viable.

Universe corners such idiocy into exterminating itself.

That, too, is Natural Selection.

Because we don’t see what real, actual, guillotines do.

I accidentally saw a guillotine-execution on DuckDuckGo ( they used to be much worse than they are now, for including stuff you don’t want to see )

and … it’s kinda hard to communicate how WRONG that is, to chop a human-life to that degree of … to just-now-dead…

interesting: I can’t communicate how wrong/horrible it was, through words!

Anyways, there’s some German word, looks sorta like schedenfruede or something like that…

it means “finding enjoyment in other people’s suffering”, and old-people don’t find it funny, generally, because old-people have experienced enough diversity-of-suffering to be able to understand other-people’s perspectives…

The more one sees what people mean, the more one has to choose a self-defense-for-one’s-psyche strategy:

either sensitivity, in which case one has to avoid the coarser & worse stuff in life, systematically … XOR

de-sensitization, in which case one can joke about it, push it, even do it, because one is making one’s essence become mechanical/dead to what one’s engaging.

There’s a story of Hinduism, during the British rule of India…

Some privileged people got together to do some hunting…

1 of those was Indian, he’d used guns, before, he just hadn’t destroyed someone’s life, before…

After he shot a naturally-magnificent animal, & saw it dying as a result of his bullet, he put down his rifle, & left, never returning to that kind of culture, again…

IF sensitivity is one’s path, like making oneself into a combination microscope+telescope, spiritually, THEN … this kind of reaction becomes inevitable.

You just can’t accept what a real guillotine-execution is.

Joking-about such stuff is fine until you actually understand what it means … & then … you can’t joke about it, anymore.

Like Ukranians are unlikely to be able to joke about what Russia did to Mariupol, you know?

It’s too live-wire fresh a wound…

Having seen what a 1-to-2-second long video of a guillotine-execution looked like, I’d now say that only the evil could do them, repeatedly.

I’m a brain-injury survivor, so this question is something I’ve had to face.

Now, after my 3rd-wave of braindamage ( this one self-inflicted, as I tried to break will-to-live from my brain, with a cudgel, so that murdering my life could happen. Failed. it’s fine: it was just part of my hellish growing-up process, these past 6-ish decades ) I’ve BAD memory problems.

Here’s the key:

When you come-to in a dream, without your normal-life’s memories, are you still you??

Elegant, isn’t it?

Completely bypasses most of the dead-ends of the question…

“yes I’m still me, even without my memories, because…”

because why?

I’ve learned that it isn’t one’s memories that make one oneself:

… rather, it is one’s instincts which do.

IF anybody puts drugs into my body-life to alter my personality, and they alter my instincts, THEN they have obliterated the someone that had been inhabiting this-life, & induced a drugged-replacement for the someone who inhabited it, before.

IF any experience alters the instincts of the personality who inhabits this-life, THEN that experience has replaced the less-experienced someone with a ( somewhat? ) different more-experienced someone.

Even without memories, so long as my instincts are clean ( unadulterated ), & MINE, then “I” am existing.

So, even in dreams, when I appear/come-to suddenly in some random context, with no memory of any other life, my instincts make me me, see?

The simple fact that I still work to face-into karma, that I still work to challenge abuse, that I still work to make things right, that I’m still careful with meanings & words, relentlessly,

THAT is what makes “me” me.

It took decades of brain-injury to notice the fact that normal dreams oft have me not remember anything from my normal life…

But once noticed, then anybody who has such dreams can understand the principle/truth of it.
