Of course. They lose their moral high-ground too easily.

This is a game of moral high-ground. If a nation behaves justly and properly, yet gets attacked, that is okay. That terrorism is not your moral concern, that's on the devils. But if you start to behave like a monster and give cause for others to attack you, then you have lost your own soul. Israeli's responsibility is not to end all terrorism against its existence, but merely to not fuel legitimate grievance from the Palestinians. If Israel was wise enough to hold itself to that standard, then it would be an inspiration to the world. It's not worth selling your soul in order to save a few thousand lives. This whole game is about who is able to restrain himself and resist devolving into a raving lying ape.

To recognize that 9/11 was a trick, designed to provoke and trap Americans into an over-reaction. To not fall into this trap and instead focus on shoring up defenses against terrorist attacks and using very targeted drone strikes on terrorist targets in the Middle East and hunting down Bid Laden and Al Queada via undercover CIA work. Also building alliances in the Middle East by providing them with humanitarian aid and not trying to exploit them or push an American agenda on them. Think of how Captain Picard would have handled 9/11. If I was the President on 9/11, I would have made a national speech in which I told the American people that we have been set up with an ingenious trap, explained the trap, and urged everyone that it is our patriotic duty as Americans not to fall into the trap of waging a war against the Middle East or over-reacting, as that would make us fools. Instead, since we are intelligent, we will carefully allocate our resources to technological solutions which will actually make us safer at home. And that Bin Laden would be captured and brought to justice via covert means since he is a sneaky devil. We must be more sneaky and clever than him. And above all else we must maintain our moral high-ground by never abusing any Muslims. Anyone who abuses Muslims is an unAmerican traitor because America is defined by our integrity. No amount of terrorist acts will get us to abandon our integrity. Bin Laden is welcome to blow up half of New York, but we will never compromise our integrity because we will never be devils. As Americans we will respond to all acts of violence with maturity, wisdom, and intelligence, not like wild raving apes.

I think if you study the ancient history of Indian rulers you will see plenty of Red.

The reason I link Temple of Doom clips is because it's the classic example of how a Purple undercurrent runs underneath a veneer of Blue civilization. It's a genius movie that makes the most of the Purple meme. That's what makes it so entertaining.

Of course! All those empires were like islands of civilization built upon a dark chaotic ocean of Purple.

It's an archetype so you can more easily recognize it.

Purple has existed all throughout India for over 5000 years. It hasn't gone anywhere. Blue arose on top of it over time.

I am not claiming that India as a whole is Purple. India as a whole is around stage Blue. However, you can see a lot of Purple in India when you go to the rural areas which are still extremely tribal. India barely even has 1 unifying language. There are 100 different tribes all with their own languages and sub-cultures. This is similar to what is still found in rural parts of the Middle East. India also have a lot of animistic types of Purple spirituality, which is like cult worship. It's almost like voodoo. Consider: the Modi government had to invest millions in a nation-wide campaign of ads to teach people to shit in toilets rather than on the streets. There's your clue that you're dealing with a lot of Purple folk. Purple folk don't even understand how to shit in a civilized way. Of course the major urban areas of India are way more evolved than that. India has so much diversity, so many highs and lows in the same place. You can find a million dollar luxury high-rise condo next to a slum where everyone shits on the streets and wipes their ass with their hands.

I don't doubt he's serious. The problem is he will not have anywhere near enough votes to win. He will be lucky to get 10% of the vote. The risk of him spoiling Biden is far higher than the chance of him winning. It's like 50:1 odds. And I don't like to play dice when Trump is a rabid madman on the loose.

It's hard to say because we don't have a scientific model for how channeling works or what it really is. Yeah, that's a good example. Probably. It's still filtered through a mind which uses language, and language is gotten from culture, and with culture come all sorts of assumptions, biases, beliefs, habits, customs, etc. "If triangles had a God, they would give him three sides." -- Montesquieu If triangles could channel, their channeling would be triangular.

I doubt you will find many who support Hamas, what they support is ending Israeli settlement expansion.

This is good:

You have to appreciate how much religious dogma existed back then. Muhammad's mind was filled with dogma from the Bible, The Torah, and all sorts of religious "common sense" of the time. He didn't invent the idea of Hell, he just adopted it from the culture around him which was already 1000s of years old.

This is not surprising because you should not expect channelings to be pure. In the end a channeling is created by the mind of the channeler. So it will be infected with cultural biases and so on. For example, if I was channeling God I might channel that pizza is good because I like pizza. This is not a mistake, that's how channeling works.

Tel Aviv has a thriving Green meme.

I have not studied his channelings in depth so cannot say. I can confirm that many things said about Allah are true, like the 99 names of Allah. From what I understand the Quran is his word for word channelings. It's not like the Bible which was written by many people at different times. So in this sense the Quran is closer to source. The Quran is very similar to the Conversations With God books. To that I would say that there is an even higher, more proper God-Realization. But who knows what Jesus was really refering to? It is ambiguous. Well, that's a bit of a word game since children exist and are all God.

The US is held back a bit by bottomless capitalism and the religious right. If the US transcended those two, we'd be the most developed.

It's very uncertain who he will spoil more, Trump or Biden. Very risky situation. He could end up putting Trump back in office. If he does, I will never forgive him. All his high rhetoric is BS if he ends up helping Trump win. Same goes for Cornel West. Now is not the time to screw around with idealistic posturing and virtue signaling. Now is the time for ruthless pragmatism.

I'd say it is more developed by a bit. Not by a lot.
