@Scholar what happened to you lately. Take the chill pill bro. It's just another perspective.

Ignorant or underdeveloped?

To be real though it's ahistorical to suggest that violence is not the answer. It's just that it makes people uncomfortable to accept that and the ramifications of it. Like what if it's used again me unjustly? What is law? Law requires controlled violence to enforce. Law and courts are entirely about violence. How do you think you are going to enforce death penalty or any other punishment for that matter. The Gandhi types have convinced the world that you can win over your enemies through peace. In reality nothing could bring down unjust people faster than bombs and guns. Yes it's messy. Because that's where the most growth lies.

Why die when there is coffee and Marshmallow.

Sam Altman would have played the same game even better if dems won the election. If Altman goes down with closedAI I wouldn't even notice.

What counts is if you actually do something about it. Getting stuff done in reality is already hard enough. And as if that's not enough, you are taking on additional restrictions with these higher ideals. Well worth it imo but it's doubtful if you could make it big.

He is already worth $400B. Insane shit.

Propping up a false flag attacks to accomplish some other objective.

This is fake. There is no reliable ground level reporting on casualties. From intuition I suspect Ukrainian casualties more than Russian.

@NoSelfSelf Why was a warning issued on this post? This post is totally on point.

The more emotional labour you exert, the emotional labour the more growth you attain. Growth or benefits without putting in the emotional labour is flimsy and unsustainable and you will backside to your previous point of inertia. But when do exert and expend energy over cracking the emotional nutcase, you get a kind of joy that cannot be destor even if you want to. A detached kind of happiness simmers in your heart that makes you free. Fundamentally life is about exploration and exploring new things and understanding them requires you expend more emotional effort. I have been lately involved in exploring many such avenues and couldn't be happier. So do more of this. This is like the joy you get from cracking a tough problem. You are reorganize your life in a way you spend more time cracking your emotional mind and that will give you the highest returns into the future.

This is so true and not emphasized enough. This is why it is important to do emotional labor voluntarily. Life will eventually make you exert emotional labor involuntarily. You are better off doing that on your own voluntarily for the safety and wellbeing of your own psyche. Emotions are so close to your internal system. having no control over how it functions can severely degrade your psyche.

Exactly. We all fall into this trap over and over again for years and years on end. These traps are engrained into the psyche from billions of years of evolution. There is no easy way of dealing with it. These emotional barriers are the biggest bottleneck to all progress and growth in your life. Emotional master is one of the most difficult things that you could ever attempt. Leo said it is even more difficult than enlightenment itself. Yeah pretty much. That is exactly what I am talking about. Maybe you are stuck upon a difficult math problem that you are struggling to solve for days on end. That is all you are exerting emotional labor. Your biggest understanding of math or relationships will stem from these emotional labour you put in while trying to "crack" it. Yes. Sitting still counts as emotional labour if you can do it long enough. Yes. Nah there are tens of thousands of shades of grey when it comes to emotions. The standards emotions are too crude to be of any significance.

The masses are a threat. Elites should be on their toes all the time. There is no way you could normalize what they are doing. It is the Elites that say that laws do not matter (for them). Now they get to see that it can go the other way too.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-09/china-is-cutting-off-drone-supplies-critical-to-ukraine-war-effort China is about to stop supplying drone components to Ukraine. Drones have done more to help Ukraine in its war effort more than anything. ----- https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/12/08/ukraine-war-draft-18-conscription-debate/ @BlueOak Ukraine has a man power problem more than anything. So there is nothing the US can do to salvage this. Their will crumble in no time. More "support" by supplying missiles wouldn't do anything. Their poorly trained troops have been killed or injured already. Also drafting literal 18 year olds is evil. These are just boys. Time to put down arms and surrender than have your young generation wiped off forever. This is a country that is already suffering a demographic crisis.

Yeah definitely. One thing I realised is that I can put longer effort on something over a longer period of time if I don't exert myself too much in the present and get burnt out. Emotional labour is when actual growth happens so taking time to grow is well worth it. And you have plenty of time in day as long as you cut off distractions. Feeling emotional labour is like taking a plank. It feels like a lot of time so no need to rush and burn out.

Try to imagine how your experience was when you were doing something incredibly difficult, and had to try over and over again until you actually made it. You could feel the mixed emotions in your head as you were slowly inching your way to progress. That's emotional labour. You get good at using it to your advantage ny noticing and feeling it more often.

Balkanize and eventually take over to establish greater Israel. Syria and Iraq wouldn't be spared. I was thinking greater Israel was gaza and west bank lmao.

Being near Israel is a curse.

Package it into a course as some advance insights or something. Or pay a small fee so that the people who complain won't ruin it for everyone. The more people complain the more valuable it is, very generally speaking.

If people got fed up from 8 years of Obama rule, then Imagine Syria under 24 years of Assad. Syrian people have all right to be happy of the regime change. Let's see what would happen. The elephant in the room is sanctions enacted by the west. They don't want Syria to prosper. Israel has already started attacking Syria beyond the Golan heights, right after the collapse. With this expansionist colonial entity backed by US, how much progress could you make?

Good sign. Trump should be smart enough to know that he cannot boss around Putin and will lose miserable if they choose to prolong the war. So best thing is force negotiation and get this thing up and over with.

@integration journey I can give you the benefit of doubt because you claim to be from there. But that doesn't give you any validity to your claims that these rebels will now make syria prosper. It's literally the Al Qaeda you are talking about. These rebels have a habit of appearing moderate before they snatch power just like the Ayatollah did before 1979. Once they are in power you are going to see a new face of theirs. It will take a while, but that's what it is going to end up in. Being a Syrian, you also hold biases of being one, which we don't and we can evaluate the Situation based on facts and historical precedence. But you know the ground reality better than all of us, I understand that. Israel, US want a fundamentally weak Syria. They will keep it as such and further suffocate and sanction the already crumbling society. Unfortunately the west won in their regime change operations once again.

Yes of course. Al-quada and HTS welcome them back with open arms and lots of love.
