Sincerity

Guys, please quit spinning this shit, Leo and the Mod team know for a fact Princess is not Preety. Leo looked into her (and many others) extensively in advanced administrative ways, not even available to Mods. We’re almost certain she isn’t present on this forum right now with any duplicate account. Look how you’ve massacred the thread with this drama. Please, no more of this. Respect OP’s thread.

@Wilhelm44 So, as it turns out Destiny is a sleazy scumbag and he put this quote entirely out of context. The professor seems to be saying there is no direct evidence of an INTENT for the holocaust before that speech Hitler made in 1939. He is NOT saying that the holocaust didn't happen. The misunderstanding seems to be due to the guy's slightly broken English. Here's the timestamp from Destiny's stream (1:34:31) And from the original video (1:01:25) (rewind for context) Utterly disgraceful on Destiny's part to put this as the thumbnail and the video start. What a low move. I have even less respect for him now.

Let us know when you find it. I'm curious in what context and why he would say such a thing.

If that's your assessment of the guy, nice judgement. 👍 Though I'm 90% certain you haven't watched the video. * * * * * Destiny, on the other hand, is a certified drama queen. Still talking about Hasan, just a day ago. Bruh. I skimmed through the video but obviously didn't watch the entire 3 hours. I watched him in the past and coming back to him today when listening to this video made me think: wow, this is some serious fucking echo chamber. Looking at his rhetoric, the chat, the comments. Disgusted me. Though if the Predictive History guy is denying the holocaust (I'm not certain he is, but if he is) then that's not good. And he might be wrong in some other things too, I don't agree with all his takes. In the end, he's just a perspective.

Why? What are your beliefs in regard to romance?

Well, best case scenario of them is of course acquiring Taiwan without sparking war with other countries like the US, Japan, Australia. So for sure they do NOT want a long-term war with other players involved, but they DO want "war" as in invading Taiwan, sooner or later. They're literally doing military training on a replica of downtown Taipei which they created in their desert. Next level planning lol.

Your "serious epistemological questions" are what you're distracting yourself with away from a lived life, and you've built an identity on it which you now can't let go of. There's a time and place for everything. You don't have your life sorted out but you plan to "solve" existence? Do you really think you can do it from this place? Balance, dude. I'll use myself as an example: I handle things in my life - full-time job, girlfriend, family + friendship, chores, growing as an creative outlet, working on physique - AND pretty much always finding time to focus on reality when the calling comes, upgrading understanding, asking myself powerful questions. Do you realize how much insight there is waiting for you once you DO things in life, instead of just sitting in place and thinking with no experience acquired? There is SO much insight which mirrors the workings of reality in physical training, in relationships, in your job, creative expression, hobbies, basically everywhere. Not to be demeaning, but your "epistemological questions" are really not that important, truly. I get that you think they are, I completely realize that you find what I'm saying here offensive, because this is what you genuinely think YOU are. I am undermining a very large part of your sense of identity and purpose right now, consciously. But dude, connect the dots. You are depressed. You haven't been taking a lot of action in life. You haven't even had a job. This is a wake up call. You are not some martyr, sacrificing yourself for the sake of these deep epistemological questions. This is not your time to be doing this. You just want a sense of purpose in life, you don't want to feel the void inside of you, and so you're thinking, thinking, thinking about these "important" things. Instead of acting, acting, acting. If you are really serious about spirituality, do an experiment: let go of spirituality, and your need to tackle existential/epistemological questions, for the time being. You can do that later in life. Letting go of THAT would be the hardest for you, and thus this would be the greatest growth. A man must be able to burn down everything in his life. Be capable of dying and changing, rising from the ashes. Killing yourself is really fun, when you get into it. Kill what you are right now. "A philosopher". Kill that, for fun. And try to be different things, create different identites, develop other energy sources. I recommend it. Btw, this is completely wrong and backwards. You will not "solve" existence from your current place, prior to engaging with life. And "solving" existence does not help with material success in the slightest. You will achieve a particular thing by acting on that thing and learning while doing so, not by thinking about acting without zero actual doing. This is you: "I must understand EVERYTHING before I can do ANYTHING". No. Paralysis by analysis taken to it's utter extreme.

China is preparing for war.

Good analysis!

@yetineti I doubt you yourself know what you are talking about, and why. Where exactly is there any „conspiracy” talk in anything I wrote? Do you know what a conspiracy is, or are you just throwing words around? If the mere concept of WWIII and high tensions in the world is so difficult for you to grasp, then I don’t know what to tell you. Yes, „anyone can make predictions”, but the point is to make educated predictions which test your understanding. Making good predictions is generally a sign of good understanding. If my predictions are wrong, then I will admit that. But then again, I am not attached to them. If someone completely dismisses WWIII and then soon it actually happens, that says something about the person’s understanding. Then again, if someone is 100% set on the fact that we will get a war and we don’t, that’s also a sign of wrong understanding. But I am not that. I have a prediction but I’m willing to be wrong. And really, stop with the reddit-like obnoxiousness. If you have the same attitude with people IRL, that’s not wholesome 100.

Get off your high horse. This is the most reddit post I have ever read on this forum. The obnoxiousness is appalling. Don’t engage in the thread if you don’t like it. You didn’t provide any arguments or perspective anyway.

Very good points, I agree. I think what people miss is that the start of WW3 doesn’t have to look like nukes flying over our heads. Do you really need to see something so explicit to see the world is at war, or approaching it? Before WW2 „started” in 1939, war has been raging in the East since 1937 and Germany has been pursuing expansive policies since 1933. When Hitler annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia in 1938-1939, would you call people stupid who said the world is heading to war again? Have a little imagination. There is a LOT of tension in the world on so many different fronts. The world seems to be literally itching for war, where most countries would in some way be entangled, due to alliances and such. That’s what makes it a world war. I’m not talking about nukes from the get-go. And a character like Trump is only accelerating everything, putting pressure and strain on country relations. This is not unreasonable in the slightest. Anyone dismissing it outright is simply closed-minded. At least provide arguments, lol. My bet is that there will be a world war by 2028, most likely by 2027. Again, because there is simply too much tension between countries and the leader of the most powerful country on Earth is an unintelligent egomaniac. We already have a war in Ukraine since 2022, a genocide in Gaza and a looming regional war in the Middle East now. Add Koreas to that when North Korea senses there is a good opportunity to strike. Add China when they sense a good moment to strike Taiwan, when the US is distracted. It doesn’t take much more to get a world war, where major powers are entangled. But we’re not talking about ground invasions of the US/China/Russia or necessarily using nukes. Really, just open your mind to scenarios. @Leo Gura I encourage you to make a definitive prediction whether WW3 will happen soon (let’s say by 2028) or not, based purely on the state of the world right now. You can add to that what you deem a world war is - we need to be on the same page. To repeat once more for clarity, I am not necessarily talking about nukes from the get-go or ground invasions of top countries. If you ask me whether a nuke will be detonated by 2028 anywhere in the world - I don’t know. I don’t think so, but it’s possible. I give it a 20% chance, let’s say. If you consider your analysis of the state of the world superior, make the prediction and stick to it, and we’ll see what the future will bring. Your dismissals with zero arguments are disrespectful and not fun to engage with. Btw, I’m not attached to this and I’m not some conspiracy theorist. It’s just what I predict will happen, based on what is today and the characters involved. My posts here are not fueled by fear, moreso by curiosity and excitement.

Really though, why do people think a world war is SO far-fetched? I don’t get that. There is so much tension for so many countries, the world is literally itching for war. And Trump is the perfect idiot to set everything in motion - with bombing Iran, for example. But it will go much further than that. You guys are underestimating humanity if you think we can’t have another world war. New abysmally low points for humanity are waiting to be met. That’s my take (and has been for a long time now).

Unreasonable position. Moreover: I think WWIII should be talked about more and it should be brought more to the surface, because people for sure ARE having thoughts about it. Better to talk about this than not. I’m not paranoid about this. But to me it’s quite obvious that WW3 will happen rather soon. Hell, it’s oblivious to think that we won’t have a world war in our lifetime. How can you be surprised that a world is brought to war when people elect morons like Donald Trump? I genuinely don’t know what’s surprising about it.

I also doubt Russia would invade Europe. Perhaps just the baltic states. Like I mentioned, I also think direct nuclear clashes between top countries is rather unlikely. Perhaps the issue here is a definition of a "world war". I suppose most people here think of it as major powers nuking each other. I don't, necessarily.
