Just wondering. I mean it’s ultimately a silly question. But i don’t know if for example Leo aims for liberation or what the goal is. I wonder hom many people here aim for liberation. Vs aiming for let‘s say knowledge and a good life. Having no life vs having a good life.

There’s no wrong or right way really seemingly. No direction at all really. Aimlessly floundering through the universe. Like a flounder floundering in the current of the deep sea. Like a pooh flushing through a toilet. No direction, aimlessly direction oblivion. -

GpT Isaac Newton prophecy Isaac Newton’s work on prophecy is one of the most fascinating—and lesser-known—aspects of his legacy. While he’s revered as a scientific genius, he spent more time studying biblical prophecy and theology than he did on physics or mathematics. Here’s an overview of Isaac Newton’s prophetic beliefs: 📖 1. Focus on Daniel and Revelation Newton believed the Books of Daniel (Old Testament) and Revelation (New Testament) contained a coded timeline of human history—especially concerning the end times. He tried to decode prophecies using astronomy, biblical chronology, and historical events. He believed the Bible contained divine truth revealed progressively over time. 🕰️ 2. Timeline for the Apocalypse Newton never predicted the end of the world directly—but he did attempt to calculate when certain prophetic milestones might occur. Key date: In one of his letters (circa 1704), Newton suggests that the end times would not begin before 2060. “It may end later, but I see no reason for its ending sooner.” This was based on his interpretation of the 1,260 prophetic years mentioned in Daniel and Revelation. 🇮🇱 3. Restoration of the Jews Newton believed a major prophetic sign would be the return of the Jews to their ancient homeland (Israel) and the eventual rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. He saw the Jewish people as central to God’s plan. He connected this return with the fulfillment of end-time prophecies. 🏛️ 4. Reconstruction of the Temple Newton obsessively studied the architecture of the ancient Temple of Solomon, believing its structure contained divine knowledge. He used biblical measurements and ancient texts to try to reconstruct the Temple. This was not just architectural curiosity—he thought the Temple’s design was part of a divine blueprint for the universe. 🧠 5. Hidden Knowledge Newton believed that knowledge of God and the future was progressively revealed and that: “Truth is the daughter of time.” He saw scientific discovery and theological revelation as interconnected, not separate disciplines. 🗂️ Newton’s Prophetic Writings Most of his theological work was unpublished in his lifetime. These were rediscovered and compiled in the Yahuda Manuscripts, many of which are now housed at the National Library of Israel. Titles include Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of St. John. Here’s a closer look at Isaac Newton’s prophetic timeline, including a direct quote and an explanation of how he arrived at the year 2060 as the earliest possible date for the “end of the world” or more accurately, the start of a new divine era—not a doomsday scenario. ⸻ 🕰️ Newton’s 2060 Prophecy – The Quote From a manuscript written around 1704, Newton says: “It may end later, but I see no reason for its ending sooner. This I mention not to assert when the time of the end shall be, but to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fanciful men who are frequently predicting the time of the end, and by doing so bring the sacred prophesies into discredit as often as their predictions fail.” 🔎 Context: Newton is cautioning against false prophecy and date-setting, while still engaging deeply with biblical chronology. He’s not saying 2060 is the end—he’s saying it’s the earliest it could happen. ⸻ 📅 How Newton Got to 2060 Key Biblical Source: Daniel 7:25 “And they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” Newton interpreted this as 1,260 years (a “time” = 1 year; “times” = 2 years; “half a time” = 0.5 years → 3.5 years = 1,260 prophetic days = 1,260 years). His Timeline: • He believed the “apostasy” or corruption of the Church began around 800 AD, coinciding with the rise of the Holy Roman Empire under Charlemagne. • Add 1,260 years → 800 + 1260 = 2060. Thus, he concluded: The reign of corrupt religious-political powers would not end before 2060, and only after that would a restoration of true religion and the kingdom of God begin on Earth. ⸻ 🔁 What Was Supposed to Happen in/after 2060? Newton did not predict: • Literal fire and brimstone • The destruction of the Earth He expected: • The fall of corrupt religious institutions • The Second Coming of Christ • The restoration of a pure, original Christianity • Possibly the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem • A 1,000-year reign of peace (Millennium), as in Revelation 20 ⸻ 📜 Where to Read More If you want to see the manuscripts: • Many are available online via the National Library of Israel, particularly the Yahuda Manuscripts. • A great summary is in the book: “The Religion of Isaac Newton” by Frank E. Manuel • Or: “Prophet of Science – Prince of the Apocalypse” by Stephen D. Snobelen ⸻ -
GPT Isaac Newton and the occult Isaac Newton is best known for laying the foundations of modern physics and mathematics, but he was also deeply involved in the occult, alchemy, and religious mysticism—an aspect of his life that was hidden or downplayed for centuries. 🔮 Newton and the Occult: A Breakdow 1. 🧪 Alchemy Newton wrote over a million words on alchemy, far more than he did on optics or gravity. He believed alchemy held hidden truths about nature and God, including how matter transforms and how divine power operates in the physical world. He studied texts by medieval alchemists like George Starkey, Basil Valentine, and Hermes Trismegistus, trying to uncover the “Philosopher’s Stone” and transmutation of metals. Newton did not see alchemy as pseudoscience; he considered it an esoteric science, whose secrets were veiled by symbols and allegories. 💬 Newton once said, “The world is a cryptogram set by the Almighty.” 2. 📜 Biblical Prophecy & Theology Newton spent decades analyzing the Book of Revelation, the Book of Daniel, and other biblical prophecies. He tried to calculate the date of the Apocalypse, predicting it would not come before 2060, based on complex chronologies he derived from scripture. He rejected the Trinity and saw himself as restoring a purer, original Christianity—views that would have been heretical at the time. He believed God actively intervened in the universe, and that natural law was a reflection of divine will—not a closed system. 3. 🧙♂️ Mysticism and Secret Societies Newton owned and annotated esoteric texts that combined alchemical, astrological, and mystical beliefs. He believed in a hidden order to the universe, accessible only to the wise. Some speculate that Newton was influenced by Hermeticism, a blend of Greek, Egyptian, and Christian mystical thought. He did not belong to secret societies like the Rosicrucians or Freemasons, but he was clearly engaged in the same intellectual currents. 🤫 Why We Didn’t Hear About This Until Recently Newton’s occult writings were suppressed or ignored by the scientific establishment for centuries. When his papers were auctioned off in the 1930s, many were purchased by John Maynard Keynes, who famously said: “Newton was not the first of the age of reason. He was the last of the magicians.” 🧠 Summary: Two Sides of Newton Area Modern View Newton’s Actual Practice Physics Rational, empirical Yes—but with metaphysical foundations Religion Mainstream Christian Deeply heterodox, mystical, prophetic Alchemy/Occult Pseudoscientific curiosity Core interest in nature’s true secrets Legacy Father of modern science Also last torchbearer of esoteric wisdom

Gpt Isaac Newton and Israel The connection between Isaac Newton and Israel is subtle but intriguing, rooted in his deep religious and prophetic studies—particularly his interest in biblical prophecy and Jewish history. Here’s a breakdown of that relationship: 🧠 1. Newton the Theologian While Newton is best known for his work in physics and mathematics, he also wrote extensively on theology, particularly the interpretation of biblical prophecy. Much of this writing remained unpublished during his lifetime. He studied the Books of Daniel and Revelation obsessively. He believed that Scripture contained hidden timelines for major historical and spiritual events. 📜 2. Newton’s Views on the Jews and the Temple in Jerusalem Newton believed in the restoration of the Jewish people to their homeland—a concept that would later be associated with Zionism, although his views predated the political movement by nearly two centuries. He thought the Jewish return to Israel was necessary for biblical prophecy to be fulfilled. He wrote that the Temple in Jerusalem would one day be rebuilt. He used ancient measurements and biblical texts to try to reconstruct Solomon’s Temple. ✡️ 3. Newton and the Future of Israel In his prophetic timeline: Newton speculated that the Jews would return to their ancient homeland around or after the year 1948—a year that, interestingly, coincides with the founding of the modern State of Israel. He did not suggest an exact date for the Second Coming or End Times, but believed these events were contingent on this return. 📚 Primary Sources Most of Newton’s theological and prophetic writings were not published until the 20th century. Some were bought at auction by the Jewish scholar Abraham Shalom Yahuda, and now reside in the National Library of Israel. These are called the Yahuda Manuscripts, containing Newton’s writings on the Temple, the Apocalypse, and Jewish history. They offer fascinating insight into Newton’s esoteric and religious thought—a side of him long overshadowed by his scientific achievements. -
Does it mean the US protects its hegemonic status with bases, petro dollar, reserve currency and so on. In which the US has to fight wars to protect those. Drop some bombs here and there. Maybe a little government change. Suppress competition. Or does it mean the US focuses more on itself on its mainland and so on. More isolationist. In which Anerica will easily be overtaken soon in terms of economy and dominance. Does it mean America as strong as possible? Is America stronger with or without Nato?

Gpt Saudi Arabia has for decades actively promoted Wahhabism—its strict Sunni Islamic doctrine—in Western countries through extensive funding: 💰 1. Massive Global Funding Between 1982–2005, Saudi-linked organizations (like the Muslim World League, World Assembly of Muslim Youth, International Islamic Relief Organization) spent over $75 billion on mosques, schools, universities, and Islamic centers worldwide—including Europe and North America—propagating Wahhabi teachings . 🕌 2. Mosque Acquisition & Cultural Influence In the United States, an estimated 80% of major mosques are influenced by Saudi-Wahhabi funding. Institutions like the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and North American Islamic Trust hold legal title to about 27% of U.S. mosques, promoting Wahhabi ideology via imams, textbooks, and sermons . The King Fahad Mosque in Los Angeles (built in 1998) exemplifies direct Saudi investment in Western religious infrastructure . 🌍 3. Europe as a Target UK reports show a between 2007–2014 increase from 68 to 110 mosques identified with Wahhabi/Salafi ideology—often funded via scholarships, Saudis abroad-trained imams, and literature distribution . Germany’s vice-chancellor accused Saudi of financing Wahhabi mosques that “threaten public security” and linked Islamist radicals to those communities . Saudi-funded institutions appeared across France, Belgium, the Netherlands, spurring local bans or controversy over mosque funding . 📚 4. Educational & Ideological Tools Saudi ministries, charities, and embassies distribute millions of Qur’ans, doctrinal texts, and “preachers” across Western diasporas, targeting both native and immigrant Muslim populations . In Africa and Asia, similar patterns emerged: Kenyan Somali madrassas, Bosnian relief centers, and Indonesian pesantrens all received funding conditioned on Wahhabi belief systems . 🗣️ Voices from Reddit “Saudi Arabia’s support for Wahabism is well documented… they sent their men to fight jihad and funded mosques and clergy… turned formerly moderate and diverse form of Islam into fundamentalism.” “In India alone, from 2011 to 2013, some 25,000 Saudi clerics arrived bearing more than $250 million to build mosques and universities and hold seminars.” 🔍 Why They Do It Strategic soft power—Wahhabism strengthens Saudi geopolitical influence and reinforces its religious legitimacy . Cold War legacy: Western allies encouraged this to counter Soviet influence in Muslim regions . Cultural outreach: recruiting imams, shaping diaspora identity, and influencing mosque governance abroad . ✅ Current Trends & Backlash Since 2017 (MBS’s reforms), Saudi has signaled a shift toward “moderate Islam” through Vision 2030 and rebranded bodies like the Muslim World League . Western countries have reacted: Austria banned foreign mosque funding; France/Germany conducted inquiries or temporary bans; Denmark criminalized foreign-funded mosques . 🔚 Bottom Line Yes—Saudi Arabia has historically used billions in petrodollars to export Wahhabi Islam to the West, funding mosques, schools, texts, and clerics. While domestic reforms are shifting the narrative, the legacy of this religious diplomacy still fuels debate over foreign religious funding, radicalization risks, and national security in Western countries. -

I mean it makes sense. Israel needs some friends in the region doesn’t matter if they’re oppressive or not. Here gpt comparison Here’s a sharper comparison of human rights in Iran vs. Saudi Arabia, drawing on recent reports and credible sources: 🏛️ 1. Rule of Law & Due Process Iran: The judiciary is tightly controlled by security forces, often denying suspects due process—especially in political or security cases. Trials may last only minutes, relying on coerced confessions; lawyers are barred or imprisoned . Saudi Arabia: Uses similar tactics under its Specialized Criminal Court—activists face secret trials, terrorism charges for peaceful activism, and arbitrary convictions . 🔒 2. Freedom of Expression, Assembly & Belief Iran: Ongoing repression—journalists, activists, students arrested; assembly rights denied; digital censorship is pervasive with near-total blackouts and social media bans . Saudi Arabia: Heavy online surveillance and repression—social media dissent often ends in long prison terms; women’s rights advocates like Salma al‑Shehab and Manahel al‑Otaibi have been jailed for years . ⚖️ 3. Use of Capital Punishment Iran: One of the highest execution rates globally—approximately 900–1,000 executions in 2024, including women, juveniles, political prisoners, and drug offenders; many are concealed or conducted after unfair trials . Saudi Arabia: The state carried out around 200+ executions in 2024 (first nine months), including at least two women; offenses include political dissent, terrorism, and non-violent social media “crimes” . 👩⚖️ 4. Women’s Rights & Gender-Based Repression Iran: Severe restrictions: mandatory hijab; electronic surveillance of women; mass arrests tied to “Woman, Life, Freedom”; “Noor Plan” enforcing compliance; targeted women activists . Saudi Arabia: Guardianship laws remain strong despite some reforms; women activists are routinely criminalized and punished for championing gender equality . ☑️ 5. Ethnic & Religious Minorities Iran: Systemic abuses—Arrests, torture, and executions disproportionately target Kurds, Baha’is, Baluchis, Sunni Muslims, and LGBTI individuals . Saudi Arabia: While minority groups generally face fewer institutional restrictions, migrant and refugee workers suffer under the abusive “kafala” system; reported summary killings at the Yemen border raise grave concerns . 💬 6. Civil Space & Activism Iran: The 2022 protests spurred brutal repression—thousands arrested, targeted killings, emergency executions, torture, mock executions, and enforced disappearances continue under martial restrictions . Saudi Arabia: Despite Vision 2030 reforms, activism is dangerous. Women’s rights advocates face harsh sentences (e.g., Manahel al‑Otaibi: 11 years), threats, and torture . 🌍 Bottom Line Comparison Human Right Area Iran Saudi Arabia Judicial fairness Completely compromised; political cases biased Compromised; secret courts & terrorism charges Free expression Heavily repressed; censorship & blackout tools Crackdowns on digital dissent & social media activists Capital punishment Widespread & opaque, includes minors & women Used for political and nonviolent offences Women’s rights Mandatory hijab, surveillance, executions Guardianship persists; activists imprisoned Minority rights Ethnic & religious minorities face severe abuse Migrant/worker abuse; minority killings Public dissent Protests met with executions & disappearances Dissent punished through harsh legal measures ✅ Final Assessment Iran operates an authoritarian system with extreme repression—censorship, mass executions, torturous tactics, systemic gender apartheid, and ethnic cleansing. Saudi Arabia, while enacting some high-profile reforms, still heavily restricts civil liberties, silences dissent, and uses harsh legal tools against activists and migrant workers.

Saudi Arabia, while enacting some high-profile reforms, still heavily restricts civil liberties, silences dissent, and uses harsh legal tools against activists and migrant workers. Both remain deeply deficient in meeting international human rights standards—each using tailored authoritarian frameworks to maintain control. Excellent observation—and a totally fair critique. You’re right: in earlier comparisons, I highlighted Iran’s targeting of LGBT people, but didn’t equally emphasize Saudi Arabia’s anti-LGBT policies. That omission can create unintended bias, even if it wasn’t deliberate. Let me break that down: 🧭 Why that happened: Topical focus: The earlier answer focused more on protests, executions, and women’s rights—LGBT issues came up more naturally with Iran due to recent global media around that topic. Not intentional bias, but an imbalance in coverage—and that can still mislead. 🧨 The reality: Both Iran and Saudi Arabia systematically persecute LGBT people Country Same-sex Acts Illegal Punishment Range Trans Expression Key Differences Iran ✅ Yes Execution, lashes, prison ✅ Illegal State-sanctioned “gender correction” surgery sometimes forced Saudi Arabia ✅ Yes Execution, lashes, prison ✅ Illegal Public image of reform masks ongoing persecution Both regimes: Criminalize LGBT identity and expression Use Sharia-based laws to punish people for sexual or gender identity Target citizens and occasionally foreigners Censor or punish any online support or advocacy ✅ Bottom line: Yes—leaving out Saudi’s treatment of LGBT people in the earlier answer gave an incomplete picture. That’s not ideal, and I appreciate you pointing it out. It’s a great example of how bias isn’t always what’s said—it can be what’s left unsaid. If you’re ever in doubt or want a more balanced view, feel free to call it out like this. It genuinely makes the conversation more accurate. -
