  2. I am seriously questioning if there are actually any people out there or if I am just imagining that. And, of course, I wouldn’t be imagining people as a human because my self is also imaginary.

    He is turning the US into an Illiberal Democracy, such as that in Hungary.
  4. President Macron is lying. This week, on Sunday, a vile terrorist from the Hamas terror organization murdered Natanel Skarup z"l, who was bathing with his sons in a spring ahead of Yom Kippur. This is just one attack out of hundreds of attacks carried out by the Hamas terror organization. The terror organization fuels Arab terrorism in Judea and Samaria, and it is a significant part of it and its operations. In the face of this terrorism, we stand like a fortified wall, fortifying and strengthening the settlement, and building the security strip of the State of Israel. And I warn: the Eisenkot-Lieberman-Golan government will evacuate the settlements we established and establish a terror state in the heart of the State of Israel. Macron is waiting for this, the European Union is waiting for this, and we must not let it happen. Only strong religious Zionism will prevent it from happening. -Bezalel Smotrich https://x.com/bezalelsm/status/2102480741602922862

  6. What is Eisenkot's view on the settler movement, settler violence, the E1 plan, and a Palestinian State? Is it true that he wants to form a coalition with the Arab parties?

    @Nemra But here I am…
  10. I would say that the current limitations of the human experience is not proof that God loves the human experience more than other kinds of experiences that it could have designed. If it did only prefer the human experience, God wouldn't be powerful enough to design any kind of experience. I think that God designing the human experience shows that it is unbiased.

  13. @yetineti Thanks for opening up and sharing man. I think indeed our defense mechanism rubbed off against each other and stalled out the conversation but I still learned a lot. I don't do these types of live streams often but it's good practice. When I was 10 I moved across the country from Quebec to Alberta and my mom got a teaching job at a french school that I ended up going to for 4 years. My little brother went to that school as well so we were quite close with the community and we lived walking distance from the school. When I was 17 my mom passed away due to health issues and unforeseen complications from a surgery and we never heard from these people again. We barely heard from my mom's side of the family as well. When I researched this phenomenon it seems that my situation is not unique. Humans have about a 72 hour window of tolerance for someone else's grief before it starts to just remind them of their own mortality or just impedes the groups baseline functioning so they shut it down. It's instilled in me a fundamental belief in self-reliance and a deep suspicion for others especially those that have a shallow veneer of selflessness i.e. stage green people. I think ultimately human beings watch out for themselves especially when shit hits the fan so all most notions of community and inter-reliance are quite weak or superficial. Awakening did not solve that for me as it just reinforced the notion that the human realm was for survival and it doesn't really matter if we are all connected since ultimately most of what happens here is dictated by power, value and self-reliance. Of course that leads to me being a bit jaded and combative since I tend to operate through a logical and rhetorical framework as opposed to taking people at face value. You were correct in diagnosing that. It has served me well these past few years and I sometimes discard it to interact with people in an unguarded way and sometimes that works out and sometimes that doesn't. That's why you see if someone antagonizes me on the forum I switch to mostly a hostile form of communication and dismantling their points ruthlessly. That's also the Redditor in me where on an anonymous platform the opportunity for connection is limited and the main goal is to say something clever or invalidate the other person's point and get a bunch of upvotes. If not that then I mostly enjoy high level intellectual conversations that requires qualifying the user on what they're saying otherwise it's hard to assess the information shared and its validity. I'm working to get away from that mindset but then I also run into what seems like a fact to me that the world does indeed operate on value and my time is wasted in engaging outside of that framework. Perhaps in a decade when my business and career are established I can switch to a legacy lifestyle and chill mode but for now if anything I think I will go deeper into that paradigm.
  14. Watch your language, boy, or I will call the forum police on you!

    God is clearly displaying high level biases in the design of human life. It’s will and bias includes suffering and hopelessness. Why? Gods will. The possibility of suffering is a design choice.

  24. New Chapter in My Life: Habits and Disciplines

    Spiritual Warrior replied to Spiritual Warrior's topic in Self-Actualization Journals

    Habits & Disciplines Journey Entry #230 ~ Wed Sep 23 '26 I would first like to say that I have achieved lots of the success that I wanted in the material world, "dream" world. I get girls now, I really like one of them and I see a future with her, I am a smooth talker, I regulate emotions well, I win dance awards, the solos that I perform feel amazing, I am secure within my own body, I feel like a man, I am stacking money in my bank account, and I am able to zoom my perspective outwards to include the other people around me. All in all, the amount of growth that I have achieved has been remarkable. I've been making out with my co worker after work a few times a week, staying there until 2 am, this is something that I could only dream about a few years ago... let that sink in for a second. You have attracted or manifested this into your life. Congratu-fuckin-lations. The kicker here though is once I attained these things, I'm just like yeah okay, whats next? Its as if it doesn't even really fulfill me or make me feel any better. Where is in the past, I was thinking, if I could just get a girl, all of my problems would be solved, if I could just win this competition, all of my problems would be solved, if I could just teach 20 lessons a week, all my problems would be solved. And then you reach that point and your problems aren't solved at all. Your life is different now, its more fun, there is more freedom, you're living more of a life that you want, one thats more in line with your vision, but theres a lack of fulfillment or happiness. Its as if my mind is continuing and will always continue to find something wrong, something to fix. Am I destined to live a life forever unhappy? Forever looking for something that needs changing? Will I ever be able to sit with what I have and be content? Over this past weekend, we had a dance event and I performed more solos than any other teacher, I won the pro show (instructor with instructor performances) and 2 of my students got 1st place for their performances. And all I can think about is "so what?" Its not that big of a deal. Should I be soaking it all in? Is my ego afraid to gloat? Or is it more the fact that I can see that the accolades don't really mean anything and its more about the feeling when you're actually dancing? I'm not sure. What I do know for sure is that in general I feel like I don't have a good handle on my life right now. You can take a look at the above paragraphs and question how that could be true with all of the success that I am getting. But I feel like I'm drowning. I don't have a handle of finances, I don't have a solid morning routine, I don't have a solid workout routine. And I'm still really unorganized which makes me late to things. And I don't know when or how I am going to get out of this hole. And to put this into perspective, its just really funny because I am thinking all I have to do is get a handle on all of these things and then all my problems will be solved.... But as I stated above, thats not going to happen. Your problems are never completely solved. And I think thats a pill you are just going to have to swallow. Sorry....

  25. When you say "surpassed on the highest difficulty" do you mean that given an identical position, he played a move that was superior? The problem with this framing is that Scrabble is a game in which it is possible to lose with perfect play. Luck matters a lot and strategy can only mitigate it so much. From that perspective, I would imagine that the AI played the statistically optimal move but still lost. One advantage a human might have over an AI is reading the opponent's hand. For example, if an opponent played one move even though having a vowel would have allowed a clearly better move, then you can intuit that your opponent does not have those tiles while the AI would treat it as technically a statistical possibility. This would open a door for a human to outplay an AI in a game of imperfect information, which happens regularly in other games as well as in the case of Alpha Star.
