  1. Past hour
  2. Cannot be denied. Enlightened one's know to kneel; for realz.
  3. There's plenty of great (non AI) channels on YouTube. I made a whole list on my Journal a while back, go look! Sorry for my indiscriminate spamming, I'm a YouTube whore.
  4. Beng Vir and Smotrich are like Hitler and Goebbels. Two of the worst human beings that are alive in earth
  5. Top - 2023 Bottom - 2026 We are collectively fucking up. Big time. The worst version of "fuck around and find out". Get ready to enter swamp mode.
  6. Hatred against Muslims has existed since 1000 years ago when Europeans went 11 times to Palestine to kill the people there. Like they kill Palestinians today but not themselves in a direct crusade but in an indirect crusade with arming Israel to their teeth and letting them do the crusade. There are as many terrorists that are non-white as there are whites. The difference is that the Muslim terrorists get bloated up for weeks and the white terrorists just appear for a day or two in the news
  7. Is the argument coming from someone's crazy ex? Tyrannical boss? Devil worshipping elites sacrificing babies at the altar in exchange for fame and money? MAGA intoxicated? A puppet for government and business propaganda on AI, aliens and UFO's? It isn't even necessarily an apt comparison to ask the question is the argument coming from a human or an AI, given they can both be either as sycophantic as each other or failing to grasp context, perspective, circumstances and nuance. Sameness and difference is an optimisation clause, and a good one, however it doesn't necessarily automatically imply that there's going to be optimisation on the right vectors; that's a more difficult thing to solve and doesn't always end with the remaining gap between sameness and difference that otherwise implies 'the right answer'. Despite 'sameness vs difference' being something that has 'levels of abstraction in application', it doesn't account for problems that cannot be computed, not having all of the necessary information, human bias and limitation including in the ways that we actually reason about problems. A great example for me involves a strict determinist arguing that free will doesn't exist because if we could "go all the way back to the big bang and resimulate the rest of the universe your choice wouldn't be able to be any other way". On the face of it, its extremely convincing when you're less than a novice on the subject, however it makes many assumptions that someone has to take for granted in reasoning about the truth of their statements. The simple fact that humans have awareness for example, allows humans to observe, be observed and change in response to that observation independent of being put under a brain scanner that ends with a research paper pedalled by dilatante's saying free will doesn't exist because someones responses can be predicted 8 to however many seconds prior to their execution. And that's for the simple fact that at the very least as it concerns the people trying to use said example as their case for determinism, there isn't the discrimination between higher and lower order choices and the influence that awareness has over those choices. Awareness is not made equal. So perhaps many arguments can be described through sameness and difference, its a good runway to land a plane and get the plane to the air. My question is whether that description is enough to tell us which distinctions are relevant, what follows from them, whether the conclusion is true, and whether UFO's are a conspiracy in part or in whole, and if either, whether the technology that usually corresponds exists in the hands of humans or non-humans, and if the latter, if beings that fit that category have ever made contact with humans in any way. On another note, do you believe in aliens @enchanted , and do you think that AI and transhumanist incels like Peter Thiel and Sam Altman are more reptilian than the actual reptilians (both those on our home planet and those that supposedly come from further afar)? Where does your argument lay, and does this question help your own answer on your thread question?
  8. Joe McMoneagle CIA no.001 remote viewer "I've Targeted 100s of UFOs... They Aren't What You Think" Enjoy - 3hrs of cool fun
  9. Freedom is ultimately already the case, nothing needs to be achieved or not achieved. The psyche is already unlimited, no need to break anything or not break anything. The self is the only illusion of confinement! Nothing mattering!
  10. Today
  11. Haha great video. LGTM. Time to code. This song reminds of infected mushroom a bit. Gonna listen to it soon, while Claude codes for me.
  12. I only shit 2x/day. But they are massive, yes.
  13. I've got another one a friend made, I'll see if I can dig it up
  14. Oh my god, lol. How are you not taking massive shits 24/7???
  15. Someone who sticks with me.
  16. I like this style of teaching that combines with entertainment.
  17. Sometimes it is very helpful to know the origin of certain terms. Granted, you can also use the term however you want -- language is flexible enough in that way and adapts with shifting human usage (whether people want it to or not). The pejorative use of the word "cult" is quite recent, and only started to exist within the last two hundred years or so. It's a product of Victorian thinking through and through (specifically how they thought of "the primitives"), but even then, the traditional use of the world "cult" had a more neutral usage which referred to any religious system or devotional practice. It started to take on connotations of dogmatic, untrustworthy fringe groups of a smaller size more and more into the 20th century. The current use of the word "cult" as an actively sinister group was only really popularized in the 1970s due to Jonestown, Hare Krisha, etc. In ancient studies, "cults" in the academic sense still refers almost exclusively to any specialized religious system. For example: the Cult of Isis, the Cult of Dionysus, etc. There is nothing really pejorative about it at all. In Catholic theology... I'm pretty sure they literally still sometimes call it the "Cult of Mary", even if no one calls it that in the vernacular/ IRL. I tend to see it all as one cyclical process, once it's been kicked off: Forming "cults" from "nothing" (or more accurately, "shamanistic" types of early religion). These early cults/ religions becoming more complex, more rigid in their structures with the claim of a central, absolute, divine authority, most often with a corresponding human proxy (the ruler), forming the start of orthodoxy (what we would call a religion proper) Having various cults splinter off from the main group. (i.e. the Cult of Isis, as mentioned above) Having these cults interact with and inevitably influence each other, often by merging similarities (ancient syncretism, many of these early religions likely shared similar roots in Proto Indo European religion, so it could be looked at as a re-merging of sorts). Eventually uniting into larger, monolithic orthodoxies, often conveniently involving various political motivations (e.g. the formation of the Nicene Creed, for Christianity), all because a bunch of people wanted to do things their own way, so they challenged the religious system and the rule of law (one was inevitably tied to the other in ancient times) (e.g. Arianism and the many sects that originally got persecuted as a result of the Nicene Creed) People disagreeing and killing each other (becoming inquisitors) and sometimes themselves (becoming martyrs) over these disagreements (>insert reference to a bunch of Christian saints that I don't care to remember because Church history is mind-numbingly boring<) re-establishing orthodoxy (the medieval Catholic church) more splintering over disagreements (e.g. Luther and Protestantism), some conveniently political (Anglicism and Henry VIII making a whole-ass new church because he wanted to fuck and marry freely without the Catholic Church breathing on him about his pious Catholic first wife) Rinse and repeat enough times until said religious institution becomes old and decrepit and everyone who knew what made the original religion compelling and vital in the first place died a very, very long time ago. And then people want fresh blood and inspiration, not old decrepit blood and the same recycled ideas and symbols from an earlier time period in human history. (Most of those symbols arguably live on in public consciousness only because we keep recycling them.) I mean, no matter where you are and what time period you're in, there's always something which fulfills the role of the "New Age".
  18. Most arguments can be contextually demonstrated. It depends on what we are trying to resolve with an argument.
  19. This video is on point because it goes back to the discussion we were having about the relative and the Absolute (finite and afinite). I don't pit difference up against sameness, I see a link between the two.
  20. This is my kind of thread 😈
  21. Interesting to see most people here associate green flags with health and high EQ. Most of the comments above fall under the umbrella of overall health and emotional maturity and social acuity. Makes me wonder if it's a universal thing, or related to stage Green value systems. For me, the biggest green flag is lack of red flags. Sometimes we see obvious red flags and consciously ignore them because we also see some green flags that we want. We compromise early and regret it later. And what stands out to me the most in a person is being focused on oneself not on others, and being concerned with one's own path and invested in own personal evolution, as well as a lack of us vs. them mentality that creates a lot of jealousy and pride and negativity. I love me someone built for cooperation instead of backpedaling and pity ego.
