Biden's ideological stubbornness is far more damaging than Trump's narcissism. He's also literally senile. If anything, Trump's childish need to be liked and respected by everyone has led to many positive international relations, while Biden is alienating everyone who is not part of the liberal West. We need another Trump term to accelerate towards global multipolarity, followed by someone who can lead the U.S. towards a new identity that is neither global hegemony nor radical nationalism.

Also, the EU won’t just allow any punk to come and live here. If you're not an EU citizen, you need to have already landed a good job here or have a significant net worth to even be allowed in.

I don't know much about Malta. I'd imagine it would be more hospitable towards foreigners and generally more enjoyable (good weather, lots of international tourism, etc.). You will still need to bring serious skills to the table to make it there; low-hanging fruit would include skills related to the financial sector (good grasp of economics, people skills, being fluent in lots of languages, etc.). This could actually work out in your favor, if you are fluent in English and say Hindi and have the necessary soft and hard skills, you could pursue a career in banking and position yourself to consult with wealthy Indian clients. It’s a big „if,“ though.

Seems like a good core stack for beginners, as far as the ingredients go. It's rather cheap, though, which makes me question the quality of the ingredients. I'd stick to Schmachtenberger's Qualia Life and supplement the other vitamins, if need be. The Qualia supplements are way more holistic and ambitious in their scope than Johnson's anti-aging craze, anyway.

Because they can. Most jobs don’t require happy and thriving human beings to get done.

You would also just hate Europe. The weather is shitty, people are unfriendly, there is no sense of community, you won't get pussy as a foreigner... -- unless you appreciate European culture such as architecture, art, literature, food, theater, etc., there is literally nothing to do here.

If you don't possess highly sought-after skills, don't even think about coming to Europe. The only scenario in which this makes sense is if you are a highly skilled expert in a field with significant demand in Europe, such as technology. In such a case, you could earn a good income, and if you come from a poor country, you might be able to return after a while and live very comfortably for the remainder of your life. Europe, especially Scandinavia, is a very hostile place for foreigners. This is not like early America, where immigrants could just show up with nothing and work their way to the top. There is barely any opportunity even for our own people.

Such a profound expression of beauty for it's own sake - very touching.

„A Brief History of Everything“

Peak Kanye.

This is perhaps my favorite series of talks he has given so far. The man flew off to the rainforest at 18 to pursue enlightenment; managed to convince some of the most intelligent and powerful people on Earth to mentor him or at least arrange a meeting with him in his 20‘s; developed a novel cure for a neurodegenerative disease he was diagnosed with when he was in his 30‘s, despite having no background in medicine whatsoever;… This is what real philosophy looks like, as opposed to the dorky scholarship and endless debating that is usually attributed to the „philosopher.“ Once this man's full biography is published, he will be remembered as one of the greatest to have ever done it.

Has to be Daniel Schmachtenberger. His comprehension of the most pressing problems of our time is way beyond that of anyone else. In some sense, it's hard to call him a philosopher proper because his thought is so urgent and specific to the contemporary context. It is the way in which he approaches these problems that I think will endure though.

Nothing matches the dreamy surrealist beauty of this masterpiece. This brings up the most beautiful visions of death for me -- joyfully fading out of existence; leaving my current life behind with no second thoughts whatsoever.

Perhaps my favorite lyrics of any Kendrick Lamar track.

After relistening to some Eminem classics, I must say that what stands out most is his intensity. As far as curating an aesthetically pleasing experience goes, though, he leaves a lot to be desired. Kendrick Lamar, I would argue, easily matches Eminem's energy in his best moments and has created a profound artistic statement in his oeuvre, especially in his magnum opus "To Pimp A Butterfly." I will admit that the subject matter of a track like "The Blacker The Berry" may not be as relatable to the average person on the street as a track like "Lose Yourself" is, which is perhaps why Eminem, despite his mediocre critical acclaim, is so highly regarded by the general public.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Allende One of the most inspiring leaders of all time, yet he is virtually absent in any contemporary discourse. Those were his last words, before dying in a coup d'état orchestrated by the U.S.

You can easily take Alpha-GPC 5 days on, 2 days off. You will develop some tolerance, of course, but the tolerance will remain at a constant level, so with the right dosage, you can sustainably achieve the desired effect. In my experience, you can do the same with Phenibut (or Noopept, or any Racetam for that matter), although you should be extra careful with substances that make you feel this good (as you can easily start abusing them).

This post reminded me of this classic.

Speaking daily with dozens of individuals (in a sales context) from diverse backgrounds and societal ranks has taught me that the #1 rule of effective communication is being authentic. There is nothing that ticks people off more than feeling manipulated or the sense that the other person is putting on some kind of performance (which will only increase as deep fakes and counterfeit people become more ubiquitous). The ideal is to feel that a person's way of communicating is reflective of their personality and remains consistent across different contexts. Of course I value competence (which can take on many different forms) in communication, but greater competence brings with it a greater responsibility to maintain integrity with one's character (because most contemporary societal contexts do not demand high competence, making it tempting to slack off and become loose with ones values). Thus, it all boils down to competence and integrity.

Eminem is what people that do not listen to Hip-Hop think good Hip-Hop sounds like.

Putin has made it no secret that his politics is deeply steeped in mythopoiesis. This is not so much about Putin as an agent in a game-theoretic exchange with the west, as it is about him as a historical entity. This is very similar to the Jordan Peterson situation. You can not really characterize him as a power-hungry Machiavellian, as that's not what he's psychologically motivated by. This is some twisted Jungian shit. For Putin to open itself up to the ideals of the modern West would completely undermine his Traditionalist ambitions. It's clear that the Western version of "Diversity" is quite twisted and not really interested in any true kind of multiplicity (as argued quite convincingly by Alexander Dugin). The deeper problem is that Putins iron rule in the face of Western colonialism has led to a lot of reactionary pro-western sympathies amongst young Russians. This is understandable, but unfortunate, as defining yourself in opposition to some other prevents any kind of true liberation and self-determination. This issue does not call for a diplomatic solution but of a philosophical and aesthetic one. There needs to be a new collective identity of the Russian people, beyond Putins radical traditionalism and (reactionary) Western liberalism. It's ironic how many self-proclaimed Marxists and Post-Modernists will argue over the same old texts to the nth degree in the name of progress and emancipation, while contemporary Russian philosophy and art is virtually absent in any such discourse.

For me it has to be "Census Designated" by Jane Remover. By far the most emotionally affective music Ive heard all year and probably one of the most devastating emotional experiences Ive ever had from any music ever (which says a lot). Instrumentally its a (extremely well executed and cutting edge) mix of shoegaze, emo, metal core and noise rock. The vocal performance on this is insane -- Jane just floats over these slow building instrumentals with her angelic heavily autotuned voice, to a point where its hard to even pinpoint any standout moment on this one hour long project, as its blissful vocal runs ad infinitum. The themes discussed on this album are quite dark and vulgar and mostly deal with coming off age as a transgender teenager. Following is a little snippet of what to expect lyrically from this: I envy how big your feelings are How much you hate your life Running like a lamb with her legs cut off, I'll act like mine's not on the line How filthy can I get before you rip me from your chest? You take the color from my face and I fill your bed with vomit Favorite Tracks: Idling Somewhere, Video Share yours!!!

Philosophy, as traditionally understood, is the pursuit of universal truths, which are stable across space and time. Nowhere is this view epitomized more than in the philosophy of G.W.F. Hegel. In Hegel’s philosophy, reality is seen as having an intrinsic purpose towards which it evolves — a universality in which all contradictions and differences are resolved in a state of absolute completion. Hegel’s dialectical method views this evolution as a process wherein contradictions lead to the development of higher levels of understanding. Encounters with contradictions prompt revisions in one’s worldview, transcending and integrating these contradictions. Hegel conceptualizes the culmination of this process as the “Absolute Spirit” - a universal self-understanding. Given the infinite nature of reality, any arrival at the “Absolute” is always a provisional conclusion, given that there is always an infinitude of reality outside one’s current paradigm. This, of course, means that one is always in a state of imperfection, continually striving to encompass more of reality to fill this perceived lack in oneself. This is where Friedrich Nietzsche enters the scene. Once this ideal of universality takes over a culture or individual, Nietzsche thought, self-denial and nihilism ensue, making genuine self-expression impossible. Any attempt to assert oneself on reality is prevented by a bad conscience — how can one assert something if something is always particular and not universal? And if one asserts universality, one is stuck in an eternal state of lack and inadequacy. What follows is the need for a fundamental reorientation towards reality, which is precisely the project Nietzsche committed himself to. He introduces the typology of “Master-Slave Morality,” characterizing Hegel’s idealization of universality as submission and self-denial. This he equates to the psychology of the slave, whose identity has become so tied up in his relationship to the master that he becomes instinctively submissive and passive. Nietzsche breaks this paradigm by opposing it with the morality of the master, whose natural sense of self-righteousness allows him to freely assert his vision on reality. Instead of projecting evil and lack into oneself, as the slave does, the master projects it out into the world and frees himself from the shackles of a bad conscience. Another antithesis to Hegel was put forward by Gilles Deleuze, who argues for the primacy of “Difference,” emphasizing the uniqueness and particularity of reality as opposed to universal truths. The Deleuzian philosopher is thus not a seeker of truth, but a creator of values and concepts, exploring novel ways to understand and experience reality. Finally, we can return to Nietzsche and his proposition of the “Übermensch,” as one who transcends the particular-universal dichotomy and affirms its existence — a dynamic and complex worldview that finds its greatest expression in Greek tragedy, in which life is portrayed as inherently double-edged and no primacy is given to either the universal realm of the gods or the particular world of human existence.
