From what I can see the CIA and DOD created a US/Irsael/Saudi axis against Iran and the rest of the Middle East. And now they play out that chess game. They are too invested in it to change. A similar situation stands with NATO/Ukriane vs Russia. And all the public talk and policy is just posturing and PR to quell the plebs.

The commom value is rampant capitalism. Palestinians too poor to join the country club, they are the servants cleaning the toilets.

All good stuff, but consider not doing psychedelics for a year so you can build up your momentum on manual work. Psychedelics are great for insight, but they cripple your manual momentum. And manual momentum is where the material results are. You need to build up a sizable foundation for your life through sheer manual work, because psychedelics cannot do that work for you.

Frankly, the way all these fights break out is when two fat egos clash and neither one wants to step away. The best way to win a fight is to just not bring your ego into a situation so no fight materializes. When it comes to fighting, ego is the biggest trap.

It is not permanent.

Those were shameless Republicans from what I saw. Birds of a feather flock together. But yeah, the US foreign policy deep state is real. It does its thing regardless of which party or Pres happens to be in power. There is extremely deep group-think when it comes to US intelligence and military stuff. There is no changing their minds.

Stab him in the balls it is.

@What Am I That's not merely a matter of discomfort. You could seriously injure your brain if you keep doing that. Pay attention to the signals your body is sending you. A good solution is to change to a different chemical which doesn't cause you such obvious pain. Ketamine is not a very pure or healthy chemical to begin with.

Certainly explore it, but beware the trap of regarding all your fears as illusory. Some of your fears are keeping you alive and healthy.

The most effective martial art is to kick a guy in the balls.

By popular demand, my new course will include 5hrs of screaming like a maniac. Saves me from actually developing intelligent content.

Good

Of course you can do it. But it is not wise to judge the necessity of a thing by its popularity.

Doesn't surprise me. It's more of a systemic issue.

Yes, but humans don't really get that and can't really live it.

Good for you. You have some integrity.

At this point it certainly won't change Hamas behavior, however, it will create a pathway to a peace settlement longer term. There is a larger issue at stake here than simply getting Hamas to stop attacking. You have to pacify the Palestinian people and give them a pathway to peace and prosperity. The way to deal with Hamas is simply by erecting better defenses. Which you'll have to do anyway from all the bombing.

I am well aware of Martin's philosophy. I think it's a bit reckless and unnecessary, but ultimately it's a matter of style. I literally don't remember a single hug, but I had a pretty good childhood for sure. Do what you gotta do.

Interesting. Didn't know anyone still cared about him. He was pretty remarkable as a human.

Be careful with this freedom value. It's easy to turn freedom into a fantasy. Real freedom is different from what humans usually call freedom.

But Gaza is not allowed statehood status. Just last week there was a UN vote to recognize Palestine as a state and the Israeli government went ape-shit, calling the vote a travesty and banning EU diplomats. With that kind of approach, of course terrorists will keep attacking you. It's like yanking on a crocodile's tail. This has been going on for decades.

Not personal development. But my pursuit of truth, yes.

Don't wish harm on others. This is not the way.

Yeah, but be careful. I don't suggest you go too deep into that. I was just trying to open your minds, not to turn you into demons.

Osho was pretty popular. But the most popular stuff is never the best.
