God let's you be him by him being you. Is that selfish?

You are God in an absolute sense. You are a finite human being in a relative sense. God does what god does, and humans do what humans do. There is no contradiction.

Yeah there is so much more. I won't add any more points though. It's already long enough

He probably saw it coming as well

Seems right Thank you!

Here is your delivery

Yellow has a mature systems view that isn't merely a compilation of the previous stages. I will make a thread about systems thinking soon. Consider it my magnum opus ? EDIT: Here it is.

What do you base this on?

Persistent Non-Symbolic Awareness with either Emptiness realization, God realization, or Complete Liberation.

When the result is there, there is no you to fear. When the process happens, there is a you that fears the result, but as a result of the process.

Death is a process with a result. You fear the process, not the result. It's a process of loss. The result is stillness.

Based on his latest videos where he is talking to people in person, it's clear that he has problems with affective empathy and tuning in to other people's state. There is a marked incongruence between his emotional state and other people.

Just smelling weed sends me into an existential crisis lol. I guess I got some work to do.

You can't study systems theory without studying the actual systems. It's like trying to learn algebra before learning arithmetic.

I'm sorry. I'll reiterate: if you don't know how to represent statistics accurately and if you don't understand the reasoning behind minimizing risk, we can't have a discussion about COVID-19.

Let's say you want to help people and you study to become a psychologist. You need to learn about how the healthcare system is structured, which means you have to learn about how the government works, and the government is influenced by politics. Let's say you work as a truck driver. You need to know about various regulations pertaining to your vehicle, the road and traffic in general, and this is tied to government and politics. Let's say you want to buy a house. You need to learn something about how property taxes work etc., and this is politics. This is what your environment looks like: Everything impacts everything else. Learning about politics is not an exercise in futility.

To survive, you need to know your environment, especially if you're aspiring to do something productive.

"You" as in me? ?

I don't think I need an interpretation here.

I see. The thing about my dreams is that they seem to happen parallel to the real life events (no time lag). Kentucky issued tornado warnings between 8:30 pm and midnight. That would be between 2:30 am and 7:30 am in my time zone. I was asleep at that time.

I don't know. I do tend to have precognitions while awake, but they're often more local to my life. The tornado dream was not local at all.

@rnd https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths-by-vaccination Here is an interactive graph where you can control for age groups (scroll down a bit and look for the button "change age group" in the top-left corner). Granted, it's not the same data set (it's from the US and doesn't deal with hospitalizations). Then again, the hospitalization factor only serves to obfuscate the numbers as I've pointed out. What we actually care about is the actual death rates. You can still see the effects from the age-related health discrepancy if you for instance compare 18-29 with 65-79.

If you're linking to an article that says "hospitalized vaccinated people are 144% more likely to die than hospitalized unvaccinated people", I do think it's suiting to elaborate on what those numbers really mean. Remember what I told you about representing statistics accurately? I also don't think I have to mention that vaccinated people generally outnumber the unvaccinated by a factor of ~5, which combined with the age-related health discrepancy, is the reason why more of them are hospitalized. I would say a 20 year old with no chronic illnesses is better off than an 70 year old with obesity, diabetes and heart disease, yes. If the only thing I have to do here is to deal with people's incompetence with numbers, I will close the thread. To say that this is a repeating trend is an understatement.

Did the report control for age? Most unvaccinated people are younger healthy people which might explain why the fatality rate is lower.

There is a difference between a prospective and a retrospective analysis. You have much more data available in the latter. This is getting stupider by the minute. What do you mean nothing would've happened? We know that unvaccinated people are more likely to get infected and get overwhelmingly more severe symptoms than vaccinated people, and these people put a strain on the hospitals. Even despite vaccinating so many people, the hospitals have still been struggling. There is individual responsibility and then there is collective responsibility.
