I had an account on there.

Russia invaded Ukraina.

Russia used their non-nuclear city-massacring weapon their "heavy flame thrower" on a city..

Russia murdered Mariopol..

etc..

Recently there was an election in Russia, & I commented that if what Putin wants is for the war to calm-down for his political-comfort in the election,

then Ukraina had to MAKE it a political-problem for Putin

( obviously, the more politically-problematic it is for Putin, the more likely this stupid waste-of-life will be ended for internal-political reasons ).

Lemmy.ml banned me for life.

Kremlin-aligned people are doing what they can to butcher civil-rights throughout the West.

Lemmy.ml apparently is aligned with the Kremlin.

I'm not for accommodating true-enemy of our countries.


Remapping it from sociopolitical-frame to internal-to-one's-body..

IF rabies were trying to highjack your biology, would "being nice to the rabies-viruses" help your life?

Would it increase your lifespan?

Sometimes one needs to accept that some people really, actually intend that one's kind be butchered, for their ideology, or some other aspect of their personality/religion.

Young people are generally much less capable of actually-accepting/actually-believing that others aren't motivated by wanting to be liked..

Young people are generally much less capable of accepting that there are many who'd rather see one butchered/destroyed for sake of their factional-supremacism, for sake of their ideology, for sake of their money, for sake of their class-position, whatever..

Old people sometimes become capable of accepting the evidence.

It seems to be both life-experience battering it into one AND one's innate-nature ( if either one is defective for accepting the specific understanding, then it just won't get in. And I'm saying that as a guy who took about 1/2 century to learn the meaning. )


Understand that people who push to displace objectivity for sake of their ideology are, on both right & left, working to make-certain that this century gets "settled" through lashing-out with weapons, until factional-supremacism, of whomever "wins", has vanquished considered-reasoning, objectivity, correctness, sanity, responsibility, accountability, all that are required for civil-rights to be.

The amount of dogwhistle-programming going on, now even in mainstream left media ( CNN, MSNBC, "progressive" memes are getting infected with it significantly, nowadays )..

as ClimatePunctuation continues accelerating through the next few decades, it'll just keep intensifying..

We NEED to reduce the amount of ideology-instead-of-considered-reasoning.

They're not only going the opposite way, they're pushing that that be The Answer, just as the right are doing.

shruggeth


What people do is people's own business.

Humankind's enforcing the 6th Great Extinction, & pretending it isn't, it's successfully activated ClimatePunctuation, which is accelerating, & will continue accelerating for decades, before peaking, then slowing-down to the new ClimateEquilibrium ( hot planet ), & .. pretending it isn't..

non-accountability/non-responsibility/denial/ignoring is going to enforce the extermination of most of humankind, this century..

The "infection"/highjacking of the US is what happens when corruption is accommodated, right?

a "post constitutional" US of A, is what they're working-on enforcing, now, when they take possession of the US..


Notice, finally, that Leninism, with its "proletariat dictatorship" & Murdochism/Fox with its "populist dictatorship" are actually equally opposed to considered correct reasoning being normal, or owning authority.. both oppose correct-education for all, preferring propaganda/brainwashing ( Leninism through "education", Murdochism through TV & biblical "education" ).

Accommodate it if you want, or hard-block it if you want.

I'm not claiming a "vote".

it is my opinion that they ought be defederated, hard, absolutely, by all who value civil-rights, just as all who are machiavellian/gaslighting ought be locked-out.

but I'm not claiming any binding-vote, of any kind, in any community.

You'd probably want to segregate the hard-tech from the soft/bio-tech:

IF you require deterministic-performance, THEN stay away from meat-implimentation.

IF you require sentience-sensitivity, THEN stay away from hard-tech implimentation.

( same principle as requiring both people & systems, in order to project effective force, economically, militarily, in disaster-relief, in any domain,

same principle as using both a wordsless-wholistic metaphor-understanding sentience in one's right-hemisphere, vs a reductionistic sentience in one's left, as the split-brain patients showed.

2 orthogonal systems, collaborating .. produces greater results than either-kind would on its own! )

Organic-sentience and machine-compute, organic doing the high-level-decisions, & machines doing the low-level-competencies, seems much more realistic.

A Corporation is:

  • an incorporated "person", that
  • is legally-obliged to be psychotic, narcissistic, machiavellian, sociopathic-psychopathic, and short-termist/nihilist, using all the systemic-dishonesty that it can, for gain
  • the only dimension of the DarkHexad that it isn't obliged to be, is sadistic.. that's optional.
  • it cannot ever be put in prison, because it's a herd, not an individual: it can dissipate, but it cannot die, or be forced to experience karma: only individuals can be truly-accountable.

( DarkHexad:

  • narcissistic
  • machiavellian
  • sociopathic-psychopathic
  • nihilist
  • sadist
  • systemic-dishonesty )

( all this to say that the legalistically-enacted-treason of granting "personhood" to corporations killed strategic-viability for all countries, and the highjacking-of-the-world's-economy AND the world's-governments, by corporations, is global unfolding proof.

What should have happened, is a separate category of pseudopersons should have been created, with systematically-limited rights, including prohibiting the things from interfering in elections,

but that would have required some real integrity & spine... )

( finally, for anybody so young/naive as to believe that charities are inherently-good, go volunteer in the management of one for a few years, & then see how you view integrity.. )

"opt out" privacy-molestation/rape & identity-theft-facilitation NEEDS to be criminalized, it seems.

You don't claim that pickpocketing someone's wallet, ID, passport, and money, is "legal", just because they didn't complain about it, do you?

Yet that behaviour is exactly what seems to be normalizing, digitally...

Please read John Truby's book "The Anatomy of Genres", and have your mind BLOWN by all the psychology in the different 14 Genres of story, dominating our cultures throughout the world, now...

It will make fiction in book AND movie form sooo much richer for you, and it will make other-people much-more-understandable, as well...

I'm autistic, am NOT likely to ever watch another movie in my life ( waaay too overwhelming ), but now I understand story so much better...

Truby's got a special place in his heart for both Godfather I & II.

With reason, his explanations show.

There are an amazing number of awesome stories identified in that book, as examples demonstrating this, or that, aspect of story...

Please read it from beginning to end, so the explanations ( which build on each-other ) weave into the whole, properly ( instead of just hitting 2 chapters & not getting why it doesn't make as much sense as I'm suggesting it does ).

The only significant error in the book worth noting, is the misunderstanding of Comedy:

Improbably-violated-expectations is the PROPER definition of it, and there is no requirement for any "drop", which seems an American subset of humour.

Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, eh?

The ONLY way that peace could have been earned, in the West Bank, is...

  • an independent ( UN ) government, that wouldn't tolerate EITHER side's abuse, and systematically silenced bullying from the place
  • ALL necessary & sufficient infrastructure, healthcare, etc, in-place, AND NEUTRAL ( no Hamas, no Israel, NO politics in it: ONLY neutral facilitation-of-healthy-civil-process )
  • keep this silencing-of-any-bullying for 2-4 generations, until the enmity-addicted people were all out-from-power
  • THEN form a sane local-of-the-people government, gradually ceding from 1 to the other, celebrating the victory-against-prejudice ( on both sides ).

Neither side would tolerate/allow that.

TTBOMK, Israel has maintained about 100 dead Palestinians for every dead Israeli Jew, for many years, there is some sites on the 'web that have numbers for that, btw.

There is ZERO hope for any peace there, thanks to enmity being the addiction of sooo many, on both sides, who have authority, and therefore who use their authority to multiply enmity's reach throughout the cultures.

A "church of hatred & evil" that situation has become.

Heartbreaking waste of God-given LivingPotential & LivingOpportunity, from both populations..

Solitude.

Many YEARS of Solitude & Isolation.

Getting away from the abuser/prejudice, and since it is normal-culture, itself, whose prejudice is my fundamental abuser, then getting away from everybody, for years, gave me the means to continue living.

That, combined with Frawley's ayurvedic appropriate-to-one's-metabolism ingredients food, which massively helped my health,

& William J. Walsh's "Nutrient Power" book, which really oughta be corrected, a bit...

I replicated both is undermethylated-DNA-disorder treatment and his pyrrol-disorder treatment, each 4 times, and at-least 2 different ways.

Undermethylated-DNA-disorder: enteric-coated SAM-e, 40mins before breakfast, with clear water ( or tea, but NO carbs/food ) worked in 3 months, and Methionine worked in 4 months. The only times in my life I've ever experienced ZERO stress, which was awesome. Takes-away my academic-drive, though, so I only would use Methionine now to "take the edge off", if the stress of undermethylation-distortion were gimping me or my life.

Pyrrol-disorder ( amygdala-hijack always pressuring, and ambushing/breaking one into PTSD-RAGE, with any "straw that broke the camel's back" ), was treated best with the mixture of Zinc Gluconate, Zinc Picolinate, Arachidonic-acid-precursor Evening Primrose Oil ( 2 big capsules / day ), and P5P form of one of the Vitamin B's. This gave me the ONLY experience I've ever had, in my life, of not-fighting-the-pressure-of-pending-amygdala-hijack-every-second, and it left me .. HAPPY. Never experienced anything like that, before... Why'd I quit it? I'm a Vajrayana, & meditation must be my primary-weapon of self-conquering, not pills, AND taking Zinc every 6 hours was a brutal regime, and it was razor's-edge chemical-balance to maintain. Walsh is right that people with pyrrol-disorder ( which wrongly eradicates zinc from our bodies, leaving too-little for normal management of copper, or for methylation-of-DNA for that matter ) require dangerous ( to others! ) levels of metals-intake to reach correct-balancing between copper & zinc. I was taking enough to probably kill any non-pyrrol-disorder person: 4x the Tolerable Upper Limit. It worked, though, exactly as Walsh indicated.

So:

Solitude, & systematically healing food, & the corrections for 2 epigenetic-disorders that Western Medicine won't allow are real ( because it'd GUT authority-based psychiatry if the evidence were admitted ), that demonstrated exactly what actually is wrong, and gave me leverage in owning my life, more completely.

EVIDENCE-based knowing.

.: Scientific Method is itself one of the therapies I broke the gaslighting of doctors ( and medical-professional parents ) with, and so must be considered a valid therapy, too.

Kaizen, aka relentless evolving, as one's personal Religion. ( my cosmology is Vajrayana, simply because Universe's-speech, aka Evidence, broke the worldviews I was brought-up in. Ramakrishna Vivekananda too contempted the prejudice masquerading as "science", that I call Scientism, which presumes materialism, and therefore presumes that Awareness/Knowing/Meaning/Will can't be real, but that is prejudice: all those are testable and objectively-real.

Some have even tested entanglement in the macro-scale by experiment:

  • the experiment of having dog-owners set a video recorder in their home, with timestamping on, and they mark down when they decide to leave for home, at work, and the video records if the dog(s) light-up right then .. obviously, it doesn't matter how many such pairs don't demonstrate such entanglement: if even 1 pair is so good at demonstrating it, then that falsifies the dogma that "That Can't Happen" and "That Isn't Possible".
  • the experiment of having women in some quiet context, and a wired camera that can see them is connected to a switcher, and one, or another, person is watching a monitor, and sometimes that monitor is showing the woman... can she identify when someone is watching her?? IF yes, THEN that, too, falsifies the materialist Scientism/prejudice "That Can't Happen" and "That Isn't Possible".

Since I've experienced enough evidence to know when authority-based-"science" is gaslighting me, and since even physicist Weinberg commented on the fact that 100 ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE contradiction between evidence & established-theory, re the measured Cosmological Constant, vs The Standard Model of Cosmology

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_constant_problem

Scientism is unfalsifiable, Science holds that ONE "Black Swan", that really exists, FALSIFIES "All Swans Are White", no matter how Scientism keeps conveniently-measuring only white swans, as a means of "proving" that only white swans exist...

Karl Popper would have called-out that NON-falsifiable dogma ISN'T AND NEVER WAS Science, as would have Carl Sagan...

Evidence convinced me of what I hold to be true, and I'm continuing on that path, until I die, in the hopes of breaking my Soul/CellOfGod/ChildOfGod/Atman from getting perpetually-recycled in Universe.

IF you prefer authority-based-medicine, and have the gall to ignore the evidence even called-out in one of John Brockman's books, probably "This Idea Must Die" ( that "evidence based medicine" which provably ISN'T evidence-based, it is authority-based ), then contempt me, categorically, as defective, in your religion.

Addiction-to-integrity & addiction-to-Universe's-actual-bizarre-unfolding/opening both are good addictions, to me.

You have your assumption-river/religion, fundamentalist-materialists have theirs, I have mine.

Eternity is going to continue reprpocessing/recycling ALL energies contained within Universe, and I want out, pronto.

Remain within, if that makes you feel great.

That is what evolution means, within a continuum/soul, obviously: your soul sows, through you, your soul reaps, through future "lives"/incarnations. How could it work properly if you just don't mean anything? MEAN what you mean: self-honesty, no matter how contempted by the currently-fashionable prejudice, is healing!

: )

Born autistic, lost 10% of my brain between about 10-16, then, in the last 14y or so ( I'm gaining on 60yo ), a thousand-ish concussions, trying to break my will-to-live with a cudgel, so I could murder my life, but eventually learned that will-to-live is stronger, in this brain, than I am, so I'm stuck living, and therefore am stuck living with the consequences of all-3 waves of brain-injury.

It takes years to grow-in new/replacement brain, but the meditations do speed the process.

( Western minds may find convincing in a book named "Super Genes" by geneticist Tanzi & co-author Chopra, and it cites the science backing its arguments for malleable/earnable healing )

Read "American Nations" by, iirc Woodard.

The US couldn't possibly have avoided Civil War Part2.

Now it is going to be having what it has been enforcing/setting-up for decades.

The confederates only pretended to surrender, and now they are using a brilliant remapping of Leninism from left to right, using TV instead of schools for the brainwashing, to produce the proletariat/populist dictatorship that their cabal can highjack the country with, courtesy of Murdoch's Right-Leninism, and it was all forseeable.

2024 the Biden institution loses, due to the economic-collapse & the rabid backlash of wounded-narcissism,

2025 "democracy" ( actually bribed/"lobbied" "representative" republic, perpetually gaslighting about being democracy ) is decapitated, and the ocean-of-butchery begins begins pouring blood/lives out...

It'll be about 7 years before total-collapse, from then.

Trump's already made it clear he backs Russia, not NATO, so Ukraine is hamburger, then.

Pretence/denial/entitlement is the fakest "immune system" there is, and it is going to "protect" nobody.

All preventable, IF everything had been done strategically, for decades, but when you allow moneyarchy to manufacture whole-population broken-parenting, and generations of trashed-lives, and you allow moneyarchy to wage successful war against living wages for workers...

...you don't have a country, you have a prison that is pretending to be a country, destroying God's gift to lives for sake of psychopathic machiavellian ego-crimes.

I expect to see Biden's head on a pike, outside, where the Jan 6 insurrection people were, in early 2025, as a trophy of the new dictatorship.

Human nature has not changed one bit, in the last few millenia...

The sickening denial of everybody, in the situation... "I'm not responsible: I couldn't have seen it coming!" ??? Bullshit/lies.

It's been visible for decades, just when & how, were undecided.

And the pseudo-journalism of the left, which "shut down" ( their term ) the diversity of issues & voices, in order to make a nice, conforming only-Biden-institution left...

they'll never tolerate any responsibility for their part, either.

Humanity is about to get what it invested-decades-in-getting, and it all could have been prevented, if honest & real strategic investment-in-real-worth had been consistently normal, but catering to money's narcissism was the devotion preferred, so...

[-] Paragone@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

The purpose of life, is understanding.

Elemental bits of unconscious soul-awareness want to have their own experiencings, so they get caught in conceptions/lives, and have, at first, unconscious experiencings ( like a mass-of-bacteria or something ), and eventually that particular soul/atman evolves until it accidentally coincides with a human-category-life, and then, suddenly, it has self-determination/free-will/significant-karma, so now it becomes a pinball in the Universe-game...

Being fired around by the meanings it emitted into Universe, it tries applying unconsciousness-answers, and they just make things worse...

Eventually, it has reabsorbed sooo many meanings, that it becomes understanding/wise, and it realizes that this birth/striving/sickness/death cycle seems deranged, and desiring this endless cyclical-process is deranged, so it begins earning the yogas of mind, meaning, will, intent, etc, and then earns its ability to lift itself from the whole-process, up into aware-nonengaging, which is called "Blissful Clear Light" awareness, and it can simply dissolve into OceanOfAllAwakeSouls, seeing an endless-stream of Universes go by, every one crammed with unconscious & semi-conscious souls/atmans, who haven't yet earned their dissolving-into-the-ocean-of-AWARENESS that religious-types call "God", and .. all souls Realize.

Endless stream of countless souls, each getting its own cycle-of-lives, reaping what it sowed, no matter how many "lives" ago the sowing-of-that-meaning was...

the processing is perfectly efficient.

The Christian bible's "Jacob's Ladder" was a depiction of souls climbing "down" into matter & "up" from unconsciousness...

The Christian bible's "Prodigal Son" parable was about an individual soul/atman doing its down/up process: when it got fed-up with the false-answers, it turned within ( remember the root-guru of Christianity told them "The Kingdom of God is Within", telling them to be meditating ), and "climbing the inner-mountain", to use a buddhist phrase...

The Abrahamic religions use baptism to symbolize a soul immersing itself in unconsciousness & matter, then coming up/out of its unconsciousness...

The thing is, souls who haven't experienced anything, want to experience their meanings, and have their understandings, but they can't believe that "suffering" or "harm" etc are "real", so they dive-in, and try holding to symbols, which, of course, doesn't work...

Again, the Christian bible has an excellent symbol representing the truth:

in Revelations, John is given the Book Of Truth to eat, and he eats it, and it is syrupy-sweet in his face, but bitter in his belly, exactly as Truth itself is:

Symbolic-"truth" is naive/sweet, but real Truth is bitter, hard-earned, good aversion-therapy.


So, what to do, then?

Face into karma, face into one's evolution, as human-category-lives are extraordinarily-rare in Universe, so make maximal use of what glorious opportunity you've got.

Mom brought me up Catholic, but I experienced some memories that didn't even fit human-category-life, and, years-later, discovered they were soul-memories of other kinds of lives, which blew-up all the Abrahamic-religions, for me.

Want to get a hornet/wasp/bee out of your home?

Their sentience loves swimming ( it feels like swimming: sentience feels wet, in that kind of life ) into luminance & openness, so, simply darken/block all the ways you don't want 'em going, and light up where you do want them going, and make certain that no scent is overriding their free-will, and they should leave your home.

That method doesn't work with other families of insects, btw, so the experience-induced-understanding I gained from that soul-memory doesn't work for representing any other kind of 'em.

Buddha Gautama Shakyamuni was right about fish being really mentally-limited: if you want your soul's next life to be something other than human, go for the hive-insects, as they have awesome amounts of awareness for such teensy brains.


We only exist as temporary "clothes" that the souls underlying our lives are "wearing".

Learning/understanding is the whole point of everything.

The desire-for-experiencing of souls is what drives evolution: when that energy expires, the population/culture/civilization/species collapses.

It's simple, and "our kind" isn't the center of the Universe, as the various Abrahamic religions all insist we are ( in spite of evidence ).

shrug

Facing into karma, gently but relentlessly pushing oneself to evolve, to see just how competent/complete one can become, to experience as much meaning as one can, within one's meagre years, you know?

Evolution, internalized.

Among our kind there are 3 dimensions/layers/substances of mind:

  • SurfaceMind, which dissipates every few hours
  • underlying-LifeMind, which begins forming at conception, and shatters in death
  • underlying-the-LifeMind Soul/CellOfGod/Atman/ChildOfGod/Rigpa, that ALL lives have driving them, until they die, when it detaches/goes-its-own-way...

Huston Smith's brilliant & profound book "World Religions" gave much of this, in its Hindu & Buddhist chapters, btw, in case you want some source who is established.
