You are accurate about the Israeli problematic system of governance. Every prime minister must maintain a coalition of at least 61 Knesset members which is more than half of the total number of 120 Knesset members. For example, if Smotrich and Ben Gvir withdraw from the government, they leave Netanyahu with a minority government which is unable to pass new legislation or the annual budget, and the moments the Knesset votes on a constructive motion of no confidence on the government, the government automatically collapses. So basically, if Smotrich and Ben Gvir's parties withdraw, Netanyahu has a very hard time to do anything significant, and most likely he will be left with no realistic option but to run for new elections.

Israel is a very unusual case. The only common denominator connecting 80% of its citizens is simply being Jewish, but this ethnic character is precisely what makes the country diverse, as those Jews come from vastly different cultural backgrounds. But during the last couple of years this divergence has been getting sharper. The turning point was in January 2023 when Netanyahu's new government started to pass laws that could reform the court in a way that deeply threatens liberal democracy. Today the continuation of the war has pushed this split to the breaking point, while the new and blessed agreement can only improve it to some extent and temporarily. I will add here posts, videos and tweets showing the diversity in opinions and stances in Israel, and broader, sort of cold civil war happening here. Right-wing sectors are anyway over (and almost solely) emphasized in the international media so I will show them a little less here and will focus on many other voices. All posts are new and from these days, often from the same day or week they are posted (unless I will mention something else). Also all the posts are by Israelis 🇮🇱 only and always translated from Hebrew. The thread is time-limited 📆 and seasonal. I mean, literally seasonal🌧, until early or mid-winter (January maybe) then I will take a break for a month or two from personal threads, and then perhaps will open something similar with a bit different vibe and temperament to keep it fresh, or even a different Israeli related topic that will fit the theme of the time. I will try (apart from today) to add no more than one update every 1-2 days so as not to dominate the forum landscape too strongly and to really make it a choice to read for whoever truly wants to. You are welcome to ask anything you want and to debate.

So basically, I think, we can say that development is our ability to consciously tap into the natural fuzziness of our thinking (which is close to, or even practically infinite given the complexity of our neural network) and align with it while needing less and less to reduce it into firmer and simpler versions.

@Judy2 He has "The Religion of Tomorrow" but it is very long and repetitive not that comfortable to read at least for me but try it and take the extreme stages mentioned there with a grain of salt.

Leo's series of the spiral didn't help you to locate yourself in one or two main stages? By the way, for inspiration and introduction (before the self investigation of each stage everyone must do in his unique way) I think Leo's series is the best.

@Judy2 It can help but I think it may be better for you to not get TOO strongly into any external source of the spiral because it might restrict you in the process and give you limiting beliefs on what every stage 'must' have in it. Every description you hear is still a language and the source's way to explain an implicit experience you will have to find seperately for yourself and you may find different in some sense. Take the book as only an inspiration to understand loosely the general path and thats it.

@Raze Now consider the other ~40% of Israelis in that same poll who oppose killing even terrorists who are no longer a threat and support investigating soldiers. That alone shows you a lot.

The controversial law that Ben Gvir's party is trying to pass 🚧

I mean youth that comes from a natural lifestyle, an attitude toward life and so on, the things that make a person look younger and even slow down the biological aging process.

At least try to look younger than your age in natural ways, its more fulfilling in the present than trying to break a longevity record that prevents you from actually living.

And to live like in the Blue Zones.

I feel that too 🤔

I think they don't understand the significance of reducing fast food. I think it boils down to how much one respect himself subconsciously. Bryan johnson suffers from a similar problem just in a bit different expression. Surely some fast food here and there doesn't mean much and I am fall to it too.

Couple of supplements is ok, but 50-100 supplements a day can destabilize your body dangerously.

The last 24h were intense, especially with the attacks on the media 📺

But taking 50-100 supplements a day as he does isn't exactly advanced, and probably unhealthy just as fast food if not even worse, because it artificially alters the relationships between micronutrients, forcing the body to work very hard to restore the natural balance all the time.

Maybe it is fear of confrontations? Some kind of collective social caution?

Competition can be a good thing too if gives motivation to do helpful things, and cooperation can be a bad thing if the group does harmful things. Each parameter in this table can be good or bad depending on the situation such that real development is to know when to choose what.
