#094 Beyond Definitions: Awakening to Infinite Truth This idea teaches that not everything in life can be explained or defined. Accepting this can help you: Stay calm when life is unclear. Be open-minded and creative. Feel more connected to others and the world. Worry less about things you can’t control. It’s about finding peace in knowing that some things are bigger than we can fully understand. What else?

I agree. Talking head with good sense-making is oxymoronic.

It’s likely that many right-wing supporters will downplay or deflect from any potential failures of a Trump administration, much as they have in the past with events like January 6. There will be no one to say "see, I was right" at because these people aren't developed or aware enough to acknowledge being wrong. The failure will likely be blamed on political opponents, the media, or the deep state. -
Shell Game (noun): A deceptive tactic used to mislead or confuse by diverting attention away from an important issue to focus on something less significant, often to hide the true source of power or control. Governments, especially on the right, use a shell game by making people focus on social issues like gender identity, immigration, or culture wars. These issues are used to distract from more significant problems, like the growing gap between the rich and poor, corporate control, and laws that disproportionately protect the wealthy. By focusing on these smaller issues, the government hides the bigger problems that affect the vast majority, keeping the rich and powerful in control.

The Devil Wrote... How do we know the belief in "truth above all" isn’t just another unproven assumption, and could faith be a valid, complementary way of knowing rather than something opposed to reason?

So when Trump says he will do something perceived as good he gets credit, and when he says he will do something perceived as bad "he is unpredictable." The statement about Harris is an assumption. There is no evidence. It's funny how things are pinned on Harris as if she's the president.

When voters lack knowledge, they may choose leaders who also lack insight, leading to policies that don’t solve problems but keep people in the same cycle. To rise above, we need systems that nurture empathy and whole-picture thinking, encouraging leaders and voters alike to care about the well-being of all.

Trump’s claim to be anti-establishment doesn’t automatically mean he aims to replace the government with a less corrupt system. While he talks about fighting elites, during his presidency he appointed many wealthy donors, lobbyists, and corporate insiders to key roles. This didn’t reduce corruption but instead kept some of the same structures in place. His tax policies, which included big cuts for corporations and high-income earners, also raised questions about whether his actions truly challenged the “establishment.” Also, Trump’s focus on loyalty outweighs a commitment to real systemic change. He praises allies who support him and criticize those who don’t. This focus on personal loyalty over broader reform has led some to question whether his anti-establishment stance is more about building his own power than about fixing the government for everyone. Trump's legal cases aren't just made up. In the Georgia case, for instance, there are recorded phone calls where he asked officials to “find” enough votes to change the outcome. Federal cases also involve claims he tried to use legal channels to overturn results, with evidence from close aides and officials who describe efforts to halt certification. -

The president elect is currently on bail across four major criminal cases. Let that sink in a minute. -
She called for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza in March during her speech at the Selma commemoration to allow more aid to reach civilians in Gaza. Trump said that he would also continue to send weapons without calling for a temporary ceasefire to allow aid for suffering civilians.

It’s important to add that a vote for Trump will make the genocide worse because his focus is mainly on military goals, with less concern for helping civilians. Unlike Harris, who has pushed for aid and pauses to protect people in Gaza, Trump’s plan would lead to more harm to non-combatants.

No. He tells the more lies and bigger lies than any politician in history. Anyone that believes a word from him at this point is more than just gullible and out of touch with reality. -

The misconception here is thinking that, because Trump is shaking up a broken system, and it does have real problems, he will make it better. They never considered that he could make it worse, much worse. -

This is a common misconception. The economy was already in fine shape and on the rise before he even took office. What you're saying is also a false assumption. that because something happened before, it is likely to happen again. Many experts predict that Harris's plan will actually be much better for the economy than his. -
On quote #078. This wouldn’t stop non-politicians or media personalities like Pucker Carlson from spreading false information. With all the distrust and mixed messages about the government, trying to enforce honesty just wouldn’t be effective right now. Unintended Consequences: The proposal assumes that firing and banning officials would clean up corruption, but it may lead to an even more cautious, less transparent government. Officials might avoid making any definitive statements, fearing that their words could later be judged as lies.

He's running on a story that his own vice president later admitted was false. He's blaming immigrants for economic problems, even though many issues were caused by his policies, like corporate tax cuts and deregulation. He's running on a border problem that could have been fixed by a bill he blocked. He's running on inflation mostly caused by COVID shutdowns, even though the U.S. has managed inflation better than most other countries.
