But I mean beyond that. Regardless of my opinion, your biases cloud your judgment. Do I really need to explain that Palestine is less developed than Israel?

@Karmadhi Be mindful of your biased view on this issue. Your passion clouds your ability to see other's views clearly.

If what we had was truly intelligent and creative, then we wouldn't be calling it AI slop, we would be calling it AI genius, and people would be paying extra to view it. Why isn't AI producing grand works of art that surpass human-made work? It's not even close. Where is the AI Shakespeare? Show me one book written by AI that I would want to read. It's simple really: If AI was so great, then you could charge extra for AI work. But the opposite is the case. AI work is often nearly worthless. If AI work so was great, everyone would be slapping "Made with AI" on their products and services. People would even be trying to pass off human work as made by AI.

I think for him it's simple: Palestinian = backwards religious lunatics and terrorists. I think many people look at the issue as one of backwards Muslims vs civilized Israelis, and side with civilized Israelis. Of course that's not my view. But I understand the allure of that view. If you are not deeply informed and objective, then civilized Israelis seems the better side. Israeli IS more developed than Palestine. That's the bottom line for many people. They are choosing based on development level, not morality or justice. There is a xenophobic aspect to this as well. Muslims are just more alien to the West than Jews. Basically, people are simple-mindedly picking the less alien side. For someone like Trump, he's thinking about it like this: Would I rather be allied with rich Jews or poor Muslims? The answer for him is obvious.

Almost zero. I don't know. That will be decided based on how good/low the values are. I look for good value. I am opportunistic in that way. I don't buy stuff unless I see a good value/discount. Right now I am not even looking for good value because the market is so over-inflated. If the market drops 50%, then I will consider shopping. I am not going to invest my money into the market as long as Trump is office. The only exception is if the market crashes, then I am okay to invest. But I will not allow Trump to lose my money.

Nuance. He is bad on Israel but good on most other aspects of politics. You don't have to agree with people on everything to get value from their views.

For meditation to make any serious difference, it has to be done very hardcore, full-time. Kriya yoga is more effective, so you might wanna try that instead. Kriya yoga is designed for house-holders, not monks.

Understanding God requires very serious questioning of all human teachings and ideas. Not just blindly following one path.

Hindu four ages. Kali Yuga, etc.

@LordFall Lol Drown him in maple syrup.

Of course that is the Buddhist position. But it is wrong. You will not meditate your way to understanding GOD.

The problem is Buddhists don't think. They discourage thinking about Reality. That is a mistake. Meditation is not enough to solve Reality.

In that case Hitler started the war.

There is no matriarchy.

By 5% maybe.
