  1. Some other Cruzades took part. Heretics got no mercy. I learned about this one in the Book The Caliban and the Witch by Silvia Federici. Page 69. This was the first attack in large scale againt the heretics and the first againt Europeans. Pope Inocencio III started in the Regions of Toulouse and Montpellier after 1209.
  2. I am finishing the first Season and i dont know if I will keep going. There are some stuff to contemplate from it but obviously as a distopian serie the tension it brings can be felt in the system. Imagine to actually live is such Gileadean Society.
  3. There are a lot of books from Historians telling the history of the misfits,the rebelious, the ones who where part of the resistance. If one look for one find it.
  4. @Lyubov a good contrast is good to know how to give value to things.
  5. I call it, feeling your own Gravity. Sometimes when High in Space Cookies for example, I dont feel this gravity. I mean I feel my body but the state my consciousness is into is so up that I feel like floating or in a more flow state that I even forget mortality. In contrast the feeling of density.
  6. I urge anyone interested in this topics to really read the work of Silvia Federici. The woman took decades researching the connection of the Rise of capitalism with the way woman bodies where treated. Is impossible to understand history ignoring the woman in it. Her book the Caliban and the Witch is the missing link in the understanding of capitalism and the myth the capitalism was naturally risen from Feudalism. No, capitalism was a counter-revolution that destroyed the possibilities that were emerging from the antifeudal figths- possibilities that in case could be realized, would avoid the imense destruction of lifes and natural space that was the mark of the advance of capitalistic relations in the world.
  7. @Joseph Maynor great video. Now understand why there was Nazis in Indiana Jones movie that happen in Egipt.haha
  8. Thanks, but as you may guess, I keep the work of trying to not let my mind be decived everyday. If is not mormonism we always have other shit to clean from our way. Even Ayahuasca circles are full of delusions. If one dont be careful one adopt new delusions.
  9. I dont even keep track of all that happened yesterday.
  10. @Phil King the plate start with AI. Haha. Maybe a sign of the universe. Hehe
  11. I guess understanding it will not stop the consequences. I did a Claude research about it "Scholars are arguing about exactly this, and the labels aren't mutually exclusive. There are three main camps: Techno-feudalism (Varoufakis, Durand): Varoufakis says he isn't claiming we've literally returned to feudalism, and that rent-seeking isn't new to capitalism. His core claim is that digital capitalism is driven less by labor exploitation and more by rent extraction and control of digital infrastructure. (transcend) (developingeconomics) "Still capitalism, just late-stage", which is closest to your framing. Louçã argues this is a transformation within late capitalism, not a return to a past era. Critics add that the feudalism label underplays capitalism's built-in tendency toward monopoly. Morozov's worry is that the techno-feudalism critique could end up rehabilitating capitalism. (Techno-feudal lords or oligarchy of data traffickers? +2) Technofascism: critics apply it to figures like Palantir's Karp, who explicitly links technological superiority, military power and national destiny. Others push back: calling everything "technofascism" stops thinking and turns complex problems into simple enemies. (Substack) (dailysabah) The main fault line is whether the digital economy is a new mode of production or capitalism's usual monopoly logic in new clothes. "Fascism" is a different kind of claim. It's about political form (state capture, suppression of dissent, a fusion of corporate and state power), not economics. So you could hold both: capitalism's organic dynamics as the engine, and an authoritarian political outcome as one possible destination. One thing to examine in your own framing: "organic problems of capitalism and materialism" bundles an economic claim with a philosophical one. Which of the two are you really pointing at? And what would you have to see, concretely, to shift from "dystopia" to "fascism"?

  12. The world keep existing in the absence for the one who is gone. Keep existing for Others who still stay.
  13. In the series is good to notice that women comply with the Gilead Republic
