And it probably will. Besides the economic challenges, I don't think the public is quite ready for the initial psychological suffering that will come with this AI revolution.

I think MAGA is already showing signs of splitting apart.

Things should get better if we can make it to the next elections. There will be a big backlash in the opposite direction.

Yeah, I don't know how this AI thing will play out. On a lighter note, Trump really loves to be the one who names things, says this will be known as "the 12 day war". The ego on this guy is quite something.

Economy will soon be unrecognizable with all this AI stuff.

Are you not enjoying your cake ?

And in other breaking news - Trump just awarded himself the Nobel Peace Prize !

What's happening with this ceasefire ? Did Trump declare a ceasefire without Iran knowing about it ?

I hear you, I wasn't talking about bypassing or inaction, simply pointing to the futility of figuring out which country is more to blame than another.

And karma can be dissolved a lot faster when we honestly own up to our part in things. That in turn leads to a sincere apology for hurt caused. If it's not sincere it don't count. But the most powerful thing is the ability to forgive. That's why Mandela, with all his shortcomings, was a powerful dude. He came out of prison, not with thoughts of revenge, but with a forgiving heart. That's wisdom isn't it, understanding that the other side was also just a slave to it's own survival strategy.

And even the ignorance of humanity is innocent in a way. That don't mean though that we won't need to work through our collective karma, just as we need to work through our personal karma.

The most destabilising force is the ignorance of humanity as a whole, which plays out in different ways. Saying this or that country is the most bad, is still very surface level stuff.

Yeah the world needs some proper peace makers.

That would be amazing.

According to my wife the majority of Iranians are very materialistic, so there will be a lot of stage orange also. Iranians have a rich history, they quite an intellectual people as well.

In the same way thats its hard to face our own bs, its also hard to do it collectively.

I already told you, South africa. My wife is British Iranian. Most her family still live in Iran. She visited Tehran a couple of months ago.

It's just a numbers game, most people in the country are not fundamentalist Muslim. The minority of fundamentalists of course do support their government.

Most Iranians do not support their government. The fundamentalists are a minority.

Thats all I'm saying too.

You dont think Israel could have eliminated Hamas any other way than a genocide ?

If Pakistan dropped a nuclear bomb on Israel, in revenge for Gaza, would you like it if someone said to you, it's just war bro

Can you see that you are trying to justify a genocide ?

Germany did loads of pennance type ceremonies and rituals to help clear it's karma. White South Africans have done some but not enough. At some point Israel will need to do the same. Im not jumping on any bandwagon, but clearly you are in denial of whats happening in Gaza, and thats understandable.

Can you see how hard it is to fully admit to yourself that the people you associate with are also involved with evil of the highest order ? It's a proper mindfuck. I speak from experience.
