@Leo Gura I can imagine Israel's counter offensive would be significant given their superior military force there in time, but I can't shake the feeling that this could have been a staged attack, or one of those tactical retreats similar between the USA and Japan with the Pearl Harbor attack in order to manufacture a more justified military aggression by Zionists for an ethnocentric state towards Palestinians to the west bank and Gaza by the Zionists. For context:

Hiya, taken a break to browse YouTube videos, and stumbled on Lex Fridman's videos, and the following three are very interesting. Despite my dislike, I put that aside, as most of that in the past had little hard evidence for my dislike. Maybe the following may show why: For Israel's perspective, although Benjamin Netanyahu kinda like Donald Trump IMO, plus other topics covered. and Lean more on Palestine's perspective, plus other topics worth listening to. Also, no I'm not hate posting or breaking guidelines, and before you post go read forum guidelines, I'm in best behavior, you should too. Also curious to know what @Mesopotamian, @Recursoinominado and maybe @Carl-Richard thoughts are about this situation? My take is that it's complicated and based on many developmental factors, and may require a third power to oversee those developments, also this conflict is a very similar conflict that the European settlers and the Native Americans Apache and Comanche faced in terms of territorial warfare. What I love about these following videos is that it shows the limits of Lex's biases. Again, use your powers of observation, and think for yourself. No hate, just love.

@Scholar What are some points you agree with Kastrup on? You don't dislike at all Bernardo Kastrup, but you dislike him being a cry baby and stuck in his ego, rage quitting the stream in one moment. Is this a contradiction? What if him quitting is him realizing how lost Tim is in his rationalism and scientific theories, and he intuits that any conversation is a waste of time?

@How to be wise Or as a woman, don't forget.

@itsadistraction Let people do what they want...which includes theft, sexual assault, murder, abuse, scams, and many more evils? Don't conflate Trans to Enlightenment, it muddies and is ignorant of the distinctions between Enlightenment and trans gender, the two words that belong to two different contexts. No, Trans is not playing dress up, that's cosplaying and cross dressing, while there might be gender swapping that could happen, that's not the whole trans movement, it's sloppy thinking to think it such. No, trans people, religious people, and most of society are not lost, that's ridiculous. Please chill down.

@Scholar I actually think Bernardo Kastrup rage quitting was better than him remaining in the conversation, if he's that bothered by the push back. Only some people with thick skin and good comedic skills can keep on talking whilst dishing out insults and getting them. Seems like Kastrup's not the type to handle it well when it's pushed back. I take it you're not a fan of Kastrup?

@Princess Arabia I did, maybe I wasn't clear, let me elaborate. I just found it strange for Curt to do a 15 minute motivational speak ad for his podcast after the catastrophe that is Bernardo Kastrup rage quitting a debate because Tim said 'it's so silly', to Kastrup's 'Grotesque theoretical fantasies', it's just funny to me, maybe he shouldn't have posted the video if it turned out bad, I don't know, I can't see myself filming this and go 'Yeah, it's pretty bad but I'm gonna share it and plug my Channel at the end!'. To me it shows me in also a bad light because I just hosted a train wreck, and who wants to be perceived as hosting a train wreck? Maybe most people, maybe someone who values excellence and excellent coverage. It could be I have problems relating to people like Curt, or Lex Fridman, the more left brained people, just little empathy and click there. I swear, the last thing you'll see me doing is some cringe, corny, whack rap song or diss track, and I value excellence so production, sound quality, and bars will at least be decent, not Emcee or Eminem/Kayne West level rapping and music, but at least decent to hear.

@UnbornTao Sure, a sloppy and foolish take is better than no take right? Because there are biological difference in sex dimorphism between human male bodies and human female bodies, for example men have denser bones, denser/bigger muscles, thicker hair, stronger jaw and skull, shoulders wider than hips but shoulders are narrow and rigged to support more power, narrow hips and sometimes stronger bigger legs, little subcutaneous fat that also muscles to look harder and solid, in comparison to female bodies that have wider broader shoulders that helps with carrying babies, rounder face, subcutaneous fat that softens the muscle tone giving more curvier and smoother edges to muscle tone, softer hair and skin, hip to shoulder ratio hips are wider and rounder to give the glutes more curvy visual. Even in sex dimorphism plays a role in male and female attraction, for example males are more attracted to visual cues and looks of the female body, while females tend to be more attracted to auditory and kinesthetic, females need to hear and feel a man more to get attracted. Okay is main reason why sports separate by sex is that the male body is designed more to generate force and receive force back, plus they have greater endurance, speed, power, muscle coordination, and so on, so in particular to combat spots this distinction is crucial to make on averages because on averages most female bodies might struggle to compete against average male bodies in an even playing field with defined rules and parameters that is prescribed to both averages. The only exceptions that may not effect competition negatively as much, maybe even spikes interest in marketing towards a niche crowd, is maybe nude wrestling. Yes, male and female are referring to biological sexes, man and woman are the gender nouns onto the male/female biological labels, and men and women are the plural names for a group of man and a group of woman, so what does boy/girl refer to? Is boy/girl a social construct or a biological sex label? To me boy/girl refers to prepubescent to early/late adolescent bodies, yet in common language sometimes boy/girl names are labels to refer to places that function those with sex biological differences, and sometimes colloquially used by traditional gender norms. Also, the main problem is that words like male/man/men, or female/woman/women are semantically and syntax linked to one's developmental factors, and about 75% of the world, men and women, are under stage blue values systems, which predominantly have conservative minds more than liberal minds. How are you going to communicate to that large group, without triggering fear in them, or without making them feel threatened by the lose of their traditional male/female gender roles, because to them they're not at construct aware ego stage, and don't see this as a social construct, they're mostly conformist staged such that this lose in gender roles literally means the lose of the family unit, or the lose of the hard working father, or the decline of birth rates, or the moral degradation of the nation/religion. These fears are felt very real to them, and few are at construct aware to be aware those are just social constructs, most are not post modernists and see relativity as it is. Not to mention other developmental factors that makes this such a complicated issue, plus all the propaganda, narrative, ideological, cultural warfare and misinformation in bad faith that leads to polarization of all political and other groups viewing this problem, plus other developmental factors like values, cognitive biases, different moral and ethics, personality types/traits, ego developments, Architypes and shadow selves, other lines of development in society, ideological beliefs indoctrinated from media, news, family upbringing, TV stations, radio, social media platforms, all externalities influencing self biases and preferences, and how the mind thinks and feels and represents reality to itself. As above so below, as the saying goes.

@Roy I think the main issue is how big companies handle the Trans issue in combat sports in particular, but also other sports as well. For example, they could try making a third category for trans, or they could modify parameters so that muscle mass, or body mass index, height, width, reach of arms and legs (for MMA types of sports). In a broader context, I partly agree that some groups maybe enabling this mass hallucination and validating mental illness due to political gain for more left leaning companies, but I think that's just more, from Ken Wilbur's view, mean green meme, the excess of stage green values, and even stage orange companies capitalizing on stage green outrage and LGBTQ and trans issues. Yes, we still don't have a more rigorous scientific method to find out in what ratio this is group think versus genetics and gender dysphoria. This is all due to developmental factors like value systems, cognition, morality, personality types and traits, ego development, differences in other domains of development in life and society, ideological beliefs indoctrinated, culture warfare, self biases and preferences. Also, due to how systemic this issue is, yes an easy fix solution may not solve this deeply, more like a well thought out solution half solves an issue. For example, by introducing a third category for combat sports, there could be not enough trans for competitive field, as men say make 80% of MMA, 19% are women fighters, but 1% are trans, so if total number is 10,000 MMA fighters, 8,000 are men, 1,900 are women, and 100 are trans. So not enough incentive for competition or for promotions or marketing. Also, if we go the modify parameters route, not only should we consider weight divisions and hydration, but new things like height, width, length of limbs, muscle mass, muscle density, approximate force and speed generated, background, skill set, fighting experience, nutrition, diet, chemical and drugs(IMO a big factor as some trans do hormone therapy and increased testosterone) and so on, not only do we make it more complicated even though we make it more scientific, by introducing so many controls and parameters, we could end up increasing paper work or slowing down events or say we introduce 1,00 controls and parameters, if something goes wrong in the system there's too many controls implemented to know which one rule needs removal or upgrading. Maybe @Carl-Richard can explain better.

Oh my god, what a horrible take, thank goodness this YouTuber isn't canceled and censored severely over such a low brain rot take: This is why we need online governments to regulate these horrendous takes.

@Carl-Richard and @Scholar, I think I have a favorite line and theory and dad joke: GTFO! GROTESQUE THEORETICAL FANTASIES ONLINE!(Or ON-MIND) Get it?

@Princess Arabia It's all a result of his long hiatus from video making.

@Spiral Agreed. Game is for men pretending, serious is for women depending.

@Twega It's like it's legal to mind rape your group, and your whole family. That's my feeling for how perverse the internet has become.

In all seriousness, why did Curt Jaimungal pimp himself for half the video, advertise himself for 15 minutes?! Just close the video in under 5, why call to actin so hard?

@Carl-Richard I agree, as I've analyzed both people's body languages, tonality, and word choices, certainly an underlying emotional attacking going off. Yes technically verbally Bernardo Kastrup's 'willing to entertain sometimes grotesque theoretical fantasies', verbatim as a statement is pretty aggressive yet the tonal delivery is calm, and aligns with his intro and his opening statements. Yes, that New York tonality can be felt like aggressive, so when the last 2-3 minutes escalated. Personal note it's nice seeing scientists get mad, get mad, get in touch with your humanity, good! I wished Kastrup went harder against that energy and attacked him a bit more, trigger him more. 'Grotesque theoretical fantasies', what a nice attack line! I felt like they did a switch, Bernardo exchanged the calm tone for aggressive wording, and the science guy kept the calm statements but aggressive energy. An asymmetrical swap of tone and word style. If anything, it's another example of how egoic scientists and rationalists are. Also, the elephant in this room, curt, half the video of advertising and pimping himself up like come on. His tone doesn't add up. It's my same feeling and intuition with Lex Fridman, maybe these rationalist and scientist types with their monotone communications isn't attracting me.

@Twega Here's an example I can show you:

Interesting take, starts 1:46:00, but for baseline see how she interacts with audiences and handles some of the trolling: It may have been a stretch from Max to warn her of talking to Destiny, it may have been intuitional. I'll have to check out the other one and do my own body language analysis of that. However, I do agree despite the exaggeration from Max, that yes younger teens and children that follow Destiny, due to para socialization, and normalization of trolling, hating, doxxing, harassing, sexist and misogynistic takes, as well as some racism and using open relationships and how he communicates to these women online, and if they use Destiny as their role modal, role modelling a sociopath then use most will probably develop negatively thinking and feeling in distorted ways the parents don't anticipate. Yes I agree with that because not only does it scale to the internet and online cultural degeneracy to morality and human decency, but there are also several other broad issues that interconnect to the internet.

@PurpleTree Sure, I'm just saying the companies should modify parameters for MMA and combat sports to include Trans in their own category if they're so worried that women are getting dominated by trans, or if they're worried that men would dominate trans, and either one presents bad political optics for the company, just make that category or update the parameters.

@at_anchor I agree that there are higher quality structures. For example look at the discourse between Daniel Schmachtenberger and this self help YT guy: Solid and profound insights into personal development, and some on dating and sex. Compare and contrast this to this other debate of the online perverse incentivized internet structure: Low quality discourse, only interested in milking and farming drama, and bad faith and uncharitable takes for the views and clicks, very little good faith communication and a genuine desire and intent to reconcile between a conservative mind/position versus liberal mind/position. Very little want to understand the pros and cons from the religious stage blue/ some orange view of pre marital sex, marriage, and state involvement by Andrew's and Zen's side, although this side too is perversely incentivized to be sensational and chase views, versus Destiny and Alex, more liberal minded, more of a hardcore stage orange with some green, and tiny yellow from Destiny, more siding sexual liberation. Main problem is both sides are ignorant of developmental factors and developmental psychology. Both sides are incentivized to not understand in good will and good faith each other's arguments, both sides ignorant of value systems and stages of development, both sides ignorant of cognitive and moral development as well as cognitive and moral biases and preferences by their ego mind, both sides ignorant of personality types/traits for example Destiny is openness-conscientious-introverted-disagreeable-high neurotic and autistic minded, hyper logical which influences how he views sex, plus he farms drama from open ended relationships therefore biasing him to not be good faith to admit he as an arguer is compromised, and Andrew is more closed minded-conscientious-extroverted-agreeable/disagreeable-some neurotic lower than most there due to his conservative mind and bias and can joke more than the arguers there, both sides ignorant of consciousness levels and other developmental factors, how ideology in their minds distorts reality for them. This is all a consequence by the big tech companies like Twitch, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Tik Tok, and their social media formats and designs that all contributes to mental health issues, no wonder.

@PurpleTree Agree.

@Tobia Great example of propaganda and white washing history. This is why you need critical thinking skills, contemplation, and independently using your mind to learn general world history, sociology, and many other fields and strive to become some polymath. This is why studying and learning about other developmental factors like Spiral Dynamics stages of development, cognitive biases, and moral development, personality types and traits, 9 stages of ego development, Architypes and shadow work, Integral Theory and other lines of development, ideological believes indoctrinated by upbringing and culture, and self biases and preferences. This is why we need to increase multiple types of intelligences like: Linguistic, mathematical, musical, body intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, nature intelligence, philosophical intelligence, and existential intelligence, among many other types of intelligence.

@PurpleTree The patriarchy at it again, why can't men leave women alone in sports? A few easy fixes for these sports companies, is to make a trans category from men or women. Or to modify the parameters of each division, based on the body mass index and muscle mass, height, weight, reach ect. Of course depending on the type f sports, for this one combat sports like boxing, MMA, wrestling, a sport with far more intensity and volume, versus something like chess or golf or skiing, which doesn't involve too much striking or force transfer to a human body, more actions on objects like golf or soccer.

@PurpleTree Yes, the power of beans and leaves weaned Europeans from stupor dreams, to enlightened beams, make believe.

@Jannes I agree, while there could be overlap, I do think intelligence in unique species is hard to replicate and intgrate into human beings. Yes the octopus has intelligence, but human beings understanding that and making sense of that intelligence experientially is nearly impossible. Even in primates intelligence can diverge differently:
