I'm making this thread to collect every important video or source of information I find about understanding Israel's deceptive behavior. I've found dozens upon dozens of important videos, too many to fit on the blog. So I'm going to keep adding them here. Feel free to add your own. This is not a thread about debating the Israel-Gaza war. I want to build up a playlist of quality videos for people who want a deep understanding of Israel's deceptive behavior -- the underbelly, if you will. This playlist does not focus on understanding Hamas or Arab terrorism or the latest news about the Gaza conflict (since we already have a thread for that). Warning, this list will be pretty negative as it focuses on uncovering deception, propaganda, bias, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and deconstructing illusions. I see a lot of deception and bias about Israel in mainstream western media which I want to dispel. That's what this playlist is about. This is part of my study of self-deception and self-bias. Sorry if this doesn't seem fair, but this is what I needed to study to unravel the deceptions. This is part of my own sense-making journey. Feel free to discuss any of the videos or share your own. Be mindful not to share low quality, hateful, or misleading/untruthful material. The point here is not be deliberately negative but to gain a deeper understanding of the Israel situation. I will delete any low quality material posted here.

There is no such thing as a good cult. A cult is bad structurally, from the start. That's why Actualized.org is not a cult. I don't control any of you people. You are free to do whatever you want as long as you don't violate Forum Guidelines on this forum. Outside this forum I don't care what you do as long as you don't annoy me.

You can't prevent people from being irresponsible fools. You are expecting something that can't be expected of large groups of humans.

I have given up hope on Brazil. They keep losing. I can still taste their humiliating loss to Germany a decade ago. If Brazil loses that stupidly again, they are dead to me.

I have serious work to do. I cannot babysit thousands of people to ensure they all do their homework. Most won't do it anyways. I am developing serious courses and books that will guide people through the entire epistemic process. But that takes a lot of time and work to create. On the blog I make statements and claims. A blog cannot be a course in epistemology. The blog is me throwing out insights that will be more fully explained in courses and books. If Albert Einstein had a blog, it would not teach you how to do basic physics. For that you enroll in a university course. And Albert Einstein would not be prodding you to do your homework.

In practice many people flunk out of university.

@UnbornTao I expect you to contemplate and to do philosophy. I teach advanced things and I'm not going to keep repeating myself. I expect everyone here to be intelligent enough to know they need to do philosophical work. If you are not doing the philosophical work then that's on you. And I should be chastising you for that, not you me. You are like a child crying about other kids who don't do their homework. I am not going to force anyone here to do homework. If you don't do the homework, tough luck. This is like a university. Nobody in university holds your hand and forces you do homework. In university, if you don't force yourself to do homework you will just flunk out. That's how advanced intellectual work goes. Everyone is free to flunk out of Actualized.org.

What it?

I'm not sure. It's a deep issue. Requires lots of careful contemplation.

It's hard to adapt to chronic health problems. Or to be happy. When your health fails you will see how much happiness requires health. Intelligence cannot save you from losing your health.

I reject the notion that space needs to be bent at all. That is still a limit. Just leap to wherever in space you want to be! Does your PlayStation need to bend space in order to teleport you from one corner of Skyrim to the next? Do you really believe your PlayStation is more powerful than Reality? Haha!

How is that conformity?? True shit is inherently funny. If you lived alone on a tropical island, you would still find true things funny. God does not need others to laugh at Itself. The funny comes for free.

Aliens saw us in the bathroom and made a vow to never contact us again. Aliens came to Earth and did the Homer Simpson backs away into the bushes meme.

That's a classic.

More like, with AI the science bros are like: "Look! This PC can talk so AGI is here!"

Actually it does. That means light speed limit is bullshit. There should be a way to hop between space using advanced consciousness. The idea that aliens are limited to light speed is so myopic. These are limits of the human mind, not Reality at large.

I watch a lot of non-fiction content on YouTube. I liked Gravity.

Meh. Not great but okay. Ironically, I was okay with The Martian. Not great but decent. Far better than Riddely Scott's trash Alien sequels.

It's a perfect little sci-fi film.

I have not been to a movie theater since 2015's The Martian, starring Matt Damon

I kinda like Tom Hanks. He's got more charm than Matt Damon. Tom Hanks was great in Finch. Of course, neither one should be playing Odysseus. Nolan's casting was so bad. What was he thinking?

In the future AI Qaeda will just be a bunch of angry computer nerds sitting in a dark basement.

Space is a hallucination.
