@vibv thanks for trying. Repeating the lecture isn't making anything clearer. Just obfuscates further.

Doesn't answer the question. My apologies - I misunderstood. I thought you wanted a contemplative discussion 🙏

NHI - I won't speak to this. UAP - exist. They are extensively tracked by governments & NASA (noting NASA is a government agency, just one many inherently trust more, although they have no reason to). Governments have these craft. Aerial, subsea, or space-based craft that cannot be immediately identified or explained by standard analysis. You need to concentrate on the bolded part when researching.

I think your argument says more about the value system you are attributing to discipline, than anything inherently evil about discipline itself. Why should the impulse that requires the least resistance be considered more authentically you than the value you deliberately choose to live by?

What question explicitly? Do UAP exist? NHI? Are they ours? etc

Do you think he had something to prove, or was defending himself? What was the context prior to his uncalibrated behaviour?

Informed criticism requires understanding the relevant evidence and arguments.

I just want to make you aware (because you keep stating you are simply observing) that the above marked up in red is not an observation. They are interpretations, generalisations, explanations of a proposed mechanism, and psychological inferences. This distinction matters, because these are the parts of your reasoning where you are moving beyond what you directly observed, then assigning meaning, motives and causality to it. This is the part of your reasoning you have direct influence over, and where cognitive biases can enter.

One of the markers of maturity for me - and one of the biggest factors for stable, healthy long term relationships in general - is in our ability to repair. Disagreement, fights... these are not so bad in my opinion. It is our ability to repair after that really illustrates maturity, compassion and understanding. We can verbally apologise. One method. But the best apology is a change in behaviour. We must have integrity. Words must align with actions. We fall out of congruancy with others when we betray our own integrity by saying one thing - apologising - but continuing with the poor behaviour. We cannot just apologise and continue the poor behaviour, expecting forgiveness. We need to work on changing he behaviour that necessitated the apology. Necessitated the forgiveness. In long term relationship and repair, a provisional time must also be accepted where the person manifesting poor behaviour attempts to change. So we have to be willing to give grace for this period, accepting they may transgress while they try to recalibrate. Many people cannot accept this period when people try to change and cut ties at this point - and it comes down to our own personal boundaries with regard to what we will or will not tolerate. If someone is earnestly trying to change their behaviours (and usually beliefs are being changed simultaneously). I think it's important to distinguish between a setback during a genuine attempt to change and a repeated pattern in which apologies are made without meaningful progress. Online rhetoric is becoming considerably intolerant to this phase of relationship. Repair needs more work and emphasis in our culture - we aren't learning these skills or being taught them. Too often people have a zero sum mindset. I appreciate your comments @Rafael Thundercat - you speak on topics not attended to as frequently on the forum

I don't think it's one or the other. There is a balance to be found between our unique rhetorical style and accurate expression. Maybe you haven't found that part of your voice/expression yet? It comes with time and practice. Adding flamboyant or interesting and unusual combinations of words to express a concept or idea generates added interest through imagery. You could have a bias to more formality and maybe you prefer that from others?

While the training was in "performance art" more specifically, it anesthetized me to public performance through exposure therapy - I guess? The training was in movement and dance, but also illustrating a narrative without spoken word. Methods of connecting with audiences through non-verbal communication. I did a lot of opening shows for local avante guard artists - for galleries and exhibitions. I worked with a troop of girls for various shows. Sometimes fashion, sometimes jewellery, photography, painting etc. We would perform for a live audience wearing designers originals. I loved it! It was an artists commune officially - lead by a photographer. Disbanded when the man who headed it committed suicide. We came up with choreography and worked with him (Terry was his name) and we were also his muses. I did a lot of photography and performance art with the commune. Is it a nudist festival?!! The last time I went to a nudist festival I recall a man who had busted open a glow stick, smeared it all over himself - paying particular attention to his unspeakables - and literally gyrating. Helicopter wang style Being naked around strangers will erase shame quick...

Mostly I think he means well. But he is delusional and substituting his propensity for Mormonism's structure and worldview with transhumanism and AI worship. He is a tech bro in the longevity space who can spin a narrative and virtue signal. Charm gets you very far.
