Pharisees disliked Jesus because he undermined their institutional authority over religious law. A revered cult leader criticizes them for valuing the formality of scripture over the actual essence it is supposed to point to. In this context, valuing the formalization of scripture and biblical law over the essence and spirituality they are supposed to cultivate, which they didn't even embody ("may the first one without sin throw the stone at her") To the pharisees, religion was predominately a survival strategy to gain status and power. Much of this critique rings true of academia in the modern world, which tend to value accreditation over truth. Invariably, institutions become political entities, and their survival takes precedent over their proclaimed mission, often twisting it. Like, if your mission is truth, by prioritizing survival you must reject truth whenever it's unconducive to survival. I wonder if humanity can ever solve this problem entirely when it comes to their institutions? The pharisees and others worked with the Romans to have Jesus killed because he threatened to destabilize their power. It's quiet the hypocrisy from men of the cloth. Not chud christian posting btw. I'm not even religious.

I don't understand why certain conservative Americans are so pro-Israel to the point of it being identity. Is it the WW2 hero complex? I understand Israel being strategically important, but this fervor does not seem entirely rational.

As if ganging up on ginger boy is going to make a difference. Shut the fuck up. Get over yourself. What it really is is group think and ideology. Mob mentality. Bullying a fucking musician for having the "wrong opinion".

You should be able to tell algorythmic slop from a glance. The only AI prediction that seems credible is its actual use being much less than the hype. That's normal for sillicone valley hype cycles.

You'll need a degree if you want to do 1:1 licensed therapy. Depending on the rules where you live, you make people sign waivers if your not licensed and providing 1:1 emotional work ("alternative medicine"). People like Tony Robbins or Teal Swan who just give advice broadly don't even have a college degree.

We live now in a media environment that is much more politicized than when Ed Sheeran first became big. He's part of a dying breed of mainstream entertainment and thinks you can just impartial your way through. It must be culture shock for him. You could say that you shouldn't have to deal with political fans but that's just reality now.

Crying to your audience is PR. Just unintentional and bad. Bro just needs some balls. If he wants to have a cry he could just bury his face in his goth mommy's thighs and wipe away the tears with wads of cash.

He's being a bitch, crying on stage. It's the worst thing he could've done. It just empowers the Palestine psychos. They smell the blood in the water. He can't get over that all his LA friends evaporate like Thanos when their career goals don't align. Bro is rich and the same pro-palestine hoes would still suck his dick. He should've just powered through. How many times has Trump been "canceled"? It doesn't work if you don't care.

Reddit is genuinely bad for the internet overall. Its turning people into brainrotted losers.

Bro got that whiny ginger cry. You know what I mean.

When the fajitas are NOT sizzling

Why would I think that's acceptable? stupid accusation. Like, dude. 4k someone shooting people, Columbine style. There are cases where the evidence is overwhelming, but your cherry picking one that supports your point. Zero doubt that Breivik killed massacred people, or Shoko Asahara bio terrorism. I'm just going to ignore you now. Your just being daft. I've repeated the same point 5 times now. You just can't fathom a generalistic point it seem.

Read this wiki if your curious about the issues of credentialism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credentialism_and_degree_inflation#Problems I believe the current system is bad for society overall. It traps people into debt, is a huge opportunity cost in terms of earning and fertility, creates artificial labor shortages (like nurses needing a bachelor/masters), to name a few. It's an artifical class divide that no one really acknowledges or talks about. The degree system is incredible at whitewashing privilege as meritocracy. Credentialism is good and necessary for regulating high risk professions, like medicine, and other specialized work, but I think that the job market should reflect the actual demand for higher degrees instead of simply being a HR shortcut. I'm not sure what a good solution is. The whole issue is quiet controversial. But we do have en elitist culture relative to education and status. We don't even acknowledge it or realize its there.

There are plenty of guides if you do a Google search. That should hopefully help clarify stuff. You can also look up forums that can help answer specific questions.

Anger is such a vilified emotion.
