Stop with the personal sniping.

Was your ketamine laced with fentanyl? If not, then you prove my point.

Right wing dreams of reconstituting a Biblical Israel is what created Hamas and the situation we see today. Fundamentally, the reason Israel has dominated Palestinians for decades in such a cruel way, is because they believe the Bible gives them rights to that land. And so ironically the Bible is being used to justify the domination of one group of people by another, similar to how Catholics used the Bible to dominate brown peoples of the Americas. The problem with the Zionist dream is that it is based on a narrow ethnic and religious identity, which gives license in the minds of many Israelis to get their way at the expense of other people. And this certainly manifests up and down Israeli government policy, from Netanyahu down to the individual IDF soldiers, and every level in between.

From the absolute perspective nothing matters.

Demonizing pedophilia is wrong, but at the same time we cannot allow adults to have sex with children where the age gap is like 10+ years, as that is very harmful to the children and their inexperience will absolutely get exploited. That adults can exploit children is not a construct. The construct is that non-mainstream sexual tendencies are wrong or evil in some moral sense.

Sure. But again, being abused is not a license for abusing others.

The USA is like Dark Souls, it's not for newbies, but if you know how to play hardcore, it's thrilling And Western Europe is like Stardew Valley.

Understanding. AI has amazing comprehension ability. On the grounds that I can have a more intelligent conversation with it than with anyone here.

Yes it did. Hamas is an externality of Israel's existence. This is the thing that Israelis are in denial about, which then leads to all sorts projections and of distortions of reality.

AI is more intelligent than most humans.

As unfair as it is to generalize Hamas on Palestinians. To regard any adult male walking down the street in Gaza as a terrorist and shoot at him. How unfair is that?

They just announced that they are filming a 3rd Quiet Place!

Eagles are the crocodiles of the sky!

You'll have to build a method for attracting those kind of people to you. Best way would be to start a social media channel and share free advice around the domain you wish to coach about. That was my strategy. For example, you could post TikTok videos around this topic.

I don't take medications so it's a moot point.

No, that's crocodiles

Correct.

Yes, I recently realized this myself. Most people simply aren't interested in metaphysical or philosophical questions, but they apply intelligence in other domains like business.

Life is full of ironies.

It's a real mindfuck when you realize that if the police actually stopped all the crime they'd be out of a job, so crime can never actually end. Same for war.

Yes, the woo is sickening. Focus on doing the contemplative work rather than parroting woo. Generating your own insight is not woo.

But this is a biased analogy. If you want to make that analogy then you should give that magic device to the most rabid stage Blue Israeli politicians. That is the analog of Hamas. Don't compare Hamas to the entire citizenry of Israel. The reality is that Israeli politicans with power and their milutary and intelligence service are all interested in doing an ethnic cleansing campaign. And that is what they are doing. They are not interested in blanket-killing all the Palestinian civilians and children, but they are very interested in making Gaza unlivable and taking more land. The Israeli position is much more nuanced than just a simple dumb genocide. The Israelis have a crafty, devilish scheme to always keep the Palestinians dominated. THAT is the issue, not that they will exterminate all of them like Hitler did to the Jews. The Israeli government is not Hitler, but they are still doing a sneaky form of ethnic cleansing. This scheme inevitably spawns terrorist backlash. That is the real issue. There is a total failure to take responsiblity for the monster that Israel has created. Yes, the monster bit you, but you created it, and you insist to keep creating it. So expect more bites.

Hasan believes his own leftist ideology. He does not see the limitations of his own perspective and he has turned it into a career. This problem exists across of YT and media at large. So I don't see why Hasan should singled out. This isn't a grifting problem, this is a developmental and epistemic problem. These people are not mature enough to understand what they are doing. But if you start banning people for being immature you will have to ban 90% of the internet.

Not that I know of. In the end, testing is not a very intelligent tool. So why would you apply it to intelligence?
