More destructive than a nuclear bomb

Nobody deserves a country. Countries are taken, often with violence and force. What about scientologists, atheists, and dozens of other groups without a country, do they deserve one each? What if tomorrow the USA decided that Jews are causing too many problems in Israel, and demanded that you begin to allow Mormons to buy up property, or they would threaten to cut your 3 billion dollars a year in millitary funding. The Mormons have roots in Christianity and a connection to Israel as well, maybe they're the perfect new owners. Non violent, smart, no complicated history. Then slowly the Mormons took over because they're also economically savvy, pushing the Jews into concentrated pockets, took control of their water, threatened them during elections, took control of their ports and just brushed off their complaints saying that the Jews can move somewhere else. What if the Jewish children, now poor and uneducated with no prospects and no furute got violent and aggressive. Everytime they attacked Mormons, the Mormons started bombing schools and hospitals with their shiny US funded weaponry telling the world they're just savages and terrorists and theres nothing to do? I can criticise the Christians for invading the USA and obliterating the local indian population. Sometimes the American Indians retaliated with their bows and arrows and savagely took the scalps of the settlers. The settler might say that theyre bringing all this technology and development and making the lives of the American Indian better than before ... maybe, but also maybe not so much. All these critiscisms would be justified and nobody would call me Christophobic. I'm not judging Israelis, but we need to be clear about whats happing here. It's a modern day occupation. There should be a better way to help Palestinians to move away. They seem to really care about their childrens education. What if there was funding for education institutions to help the kids develop skills that make them valuable to other countries.

If everything is fine in Gaza, why won't Israel let in real journalists?

If that's how you want your country to run, fine. But you must understand that this is very racist, undemocratic and the definition of an ethnostate and it's not anti-Semitic to point this out, which is my issue with this thread. It's a sneaky cover for exposing some truth. What Hamas did was reprehensible, I have no support for anyone who would do that. Israel has every right to defend itself from Hamas. I also don't see Israel as completely innocent, you want Palestinian people to fuck off, have been slowly abusing them and don't have a problem with killing them now you have an excuse. It is what it is. This is how the world works.

Ditto, couldn't have said it better myself. 'strayan war crimes represent yeew

@Carl-Richard You should examine the 'vascular' part of the cardiovascular health equation. Specifically peripheral vascular resistance. This will be different under high and medium intensity exercise as factors like lactose, oxygen, CO2, H2O and heat levels affect blood vessel expansion and contraction which affects the type of work the heart is performing i.e. high reps (High bpm) with low weight (low peripheral resistance) or lower reps (lower heart rate) with higher weight (higher peripheral resistance.

@sholomar I don't disagree with anything you've said. However, Israel doesn't seem to be a democracy unless you're Jewish. It's an apartheid state. The inevitable problem with the concentration of power is that people tend to use it in favor of their interests in the long run. Palestinians should be able to apply for Israeli citizenship, like any other person. They should be able to buy or lease Israeli land, as any other person. That would be a democratic and inclusive policy. Even if you accept they were forcibly removed from their homes under the laws of nature, if you don't give them an opportunity to improve or grow you will end up with terrorists with nothing to lose and anything to gain. The same is true with the concentration of power in western countries. Free markets are great! As long as they're fair, or fair enough.

Fair, although it's less likely to exist in someone with this perspective on the world. Fair. Fair, he may do that, however, he doesn't indicate any hatred for Jews specifically. He is not exhilarated by the murder itself, and he condemns it. He is exhilarated by something else, can you identify that? Probably not. Edit: Maybe listening to Obama's perspective on the conflict could help here, it is quite similar to what the other man was trying to communicate, but his words are less emotive and less open to misinterpretation. This is something like a stage yellow perspective. An oppressed people finding their voice is always exhilarating because it forces self-reflection. Much like when doja cat released this in response to Dr Dre's Iconic 1992 hit "Bitches Ain't Shit" - a song many believe to be brimming with truisms that unfortunately reflects an undercurrent of misogyny in hip hop and rap culture.

Do you mean to tell me that a well-educated middle-aged black man, is anti-Semitic?... interesting. What was he exhilarated by exactly? It wasn't the violence because he said many times that he abhors violence in this clip, right? Reminded me of this song.

Personally I think humans are equally capable of sneak. Not just Jews. For example, you mean to tell me that the stage green leftists of the modern western world (people you're making fun of a bit I see)... you know, the ones who are fighting for other peoples right to literally change genders and for the rights of animals ... thats right they even care about other species! The ones why try to fight the structural corruption inherent in the first world democracies apon which the luxury of their morals rest are somehow anti Isreal because they dont like Jews? ... interesting. Wait, are they even anti-Israel? or are they just pro-Palestein? Theres a subtle difference if you think about it. This isn't about Jewish people to them, its about the imbalance of power, which hypocritically their nations have been built apon, because to even get to stage green requires living in a country with tremendous power, which Israelis benefit from I might add. If they weren't allies with the US and by extension the UK, where the pro Palestinian protests are happening, Israel would have been a crater a long time ago and little more than dirt and savagery. This imbalance of power extends all the way down to human-animal relationships. We exert quite a bit over the animal kingdom, quite unfairly as you know. Palestinians live like rats in modern Israel, most are innocent baby rats that are veeeeery cute. But unfortunately some have a disease which is threatening the lives of Israelis. Should the Israeli's now put poison down everywhere to kill rats indiscriminantly? Or perhaps put poison down only in the areas where they think diseased rats live? If not poison, what about brutal traps? A vegan might disagree and say noooo, they need to be trapped humanely and set free somewhere far away. Okay, thats doable but far more impractical. How are they going to be trapped and where will their new home be? Nobody inherently WANTS to kill rats, but when they become a problem they need to be dealt with. The best solution to a rat problem is to make sure they don't have the conditions to exist in and around your house in the first place, why are there rats in and around Israel to begin with? People are also concerned that if the Israelis kill too many of the rats with their poison and brutal traps the it's going to trigger a much bigger disaster in the current global ecosystem. Many other animals could die so they want to send a clear message that Israel needs to back down. They have rats, some are dangerous, but too bad! Putting down poison right now is extremely dangerous. Notice also, that I haven't actually given my own perspective in this thread, apart from the first sentence here, only other peoples perspectives. Calling me predjudicial is a little prejudicial of you, but no worries! Its a totally natural thing for humans to do.

Is this an accurate representation. I skimmed the page and it said this list doesn't include countries listed under a different category? "The 45 resolutions comprised almost half (45.9%) of all country-specific resolutions passed by the UNHRC, not counting those under Agenda Item 10 (countries requiring technical assistance)" Do you know what this agenda item 10 is and what other countries and violations are listed under it?

Oh you poor sweet thing! Jews are sneaky af.

Green wants to invite Red to dinner. Red has Green for dinner. I love pork ... mmmmhmm neither halal or kosher or vegan.

What if fascism isn't limited to Nazis and ironically can be found in Jews? Zionist: C'mon, I should be allowed to kill feral children armed with rocks in the name of self-defense and building a great nation. Everyone else does genocide, but the moment a Jew does it ... ohhhh noooo ... all of a sudden it's morally reprehensible? This is bullshit. Classic antisemitism. *spits on ground* ... I mean. It's a fair point honestly.

Math can predict what kind of person you are by fusing networking theory with sociology: The metadata that big tech companies can get from you allows them to accurately predict your iq, personality type, sexual orientation, and many other things including your likeliness to be a drug addict or pregnant. This has implications for managing people on a large scale politically or psychologically as well as a consumer with targeted advertisements. This isn't really new information to most of you here though, as it's mathematically likely that you're already aware of all this. I gave chat gpt a list of my youtube subscriptions and then asked it questions about my preferences and the views I likely held on various issues. It was quite accurate most of the time...

Great channel that covers many molecules (not just psyches): https://www.youtube.com/@totalsynthesis Interesting new methods to simplify LSD synthesis have implications for other medicinal molecule production such as bromocryptine and future drug synthesis. I also found it interesting that 6-Meo-DMT has been found to be just as psychoplastogenic (promoting of neural growth and neuroplasticity) as 5-Meo-DMT without having any psychedelic or hallucinogenic effects: Precursor chemicals for 5-Meo-DMT synthesis are currently legal and easily accessible, although the substance is controlled in many countries. Check local laws to avoid criminal charges if you're interested in synthesizing some:

I listened to this vaush clip today and thought it was interesting how democratic support for Biden is tanking in younger demographics based on his response to the Israeli conflict. This is a lose-lose situation for the democrats in the US, as historically allies with Israel are necessary to maintain a military presence in the Arab world. Supporting Israel is somewhat necessary for the us, and denouncing their actions will be interpreted as antisemitism. Right at the end he talks about how great it would be if politicians could just come out and say what they meant, referring to clip from the 80's. It reminded me of this:

Everything Should Be Made as Simple as Possible, But Not Simpler.

Leos recent blog post on the abiogenesis course remided me of the intelligent design arguments I was taught in highschool chemistry and biology. I remember learning then that the flagellum of a bacteria has something like 70 (dont quote me) unique parts that need to be combined in a very specific sequence in order for it to function and the probability that this came about as an evolutionary adaptation that conferred advantage to survival by chance is astronomically low. They also covered the biochemical components that are involved in dna transcription and translation, precision engineering, really. I was wondering what other arguments and or examples of similar things people knew about or may have come across. I vaguely recall another agrument for intelligent design coming in the form of some weird examples of coevolution? I cant remeber the specifics of that because it was such a long time ago. The real question is why is existence and everything in it just... here. Quite absurd to ponder and to this day it amazes me how few people even seem to ask that question, let alone spend decades just looking at it.

Maybe for the same reason it was possible for religion to form and be possible before science even though humans have had acces to the same set of circumstances for 100,000 years (according to science) ... intellignece or lackthereof. Also, it gets tricky to answer with language because our very language is structured around causality, the flow of time, symbols frozen in time etc. One answer might be mu. Another might be 5meo dmt applied to anus. Another might be smacking with a zen stick. Another might be neti neti until silence, i.e. all possible explantions are exhausted and all you have left is reality. Im off to bed because I have more wood to chop and water to carry in the mornin'
