One thinks you have a whole system now that tell people their primary contribution is to take pictures of themselves.

In all the technological advances one has seen, the primary change-over was social media. It’s a ‘me’ world, not a ‘we’ world.

But one hopes and prays that it is a blip on the screen. People will realize their mobiles are destroying society, and put them down.

We didn’t build this world, we inherited it. We woke up in a world totally designed for our welfare. And we take it for granted.

In that case we have to shun AI entirely. And make those who use it pariahs. We have to value human content much more than AI models, and depend on one another to uphold such a code of ethics.

Immigrants came looking for a better life. No doubt. But they worked for less money, and took full livelihoods away from working class people. Sorry, that’s just the case. And the profits went upward instead of outward.

Then the ambitious ones were like, I’ll just hire 32 immigrants at half the cost. Then 32 men lost their jobs, or were forced to take a huge payout.

Now we have AI as the new immigrants coming for white collar jobs.

Are we going to be mad at AI? Or the people who harness it to create a world that works best for them, everyone else be damned?

Reversely, people who get actual shit done with their hands and physical effort tend to be rightwing.

One thinks Americans were doers—we do stuff. That was the model. We don’t just sit around and think. Europeans did that, which made them poorer.

However, even the original model has become depleted. People neither do, nor think. We wait for immigrants to do things for us, then we complain about immigrants.

Now we have a disconnect. We think ourselves into some ideological compliance, then we do nothing. Left or right.

But it is making us dumber, even high logic and high learning. Then we expect everything to be done for us.

Nothing to say. Nice emoji. Don’t even know how to access emojis.

That’s funny. One has never taken a razor to their face in their whole life. So good call.

We use a clippers or a scissors.

If you would like to explain this incorrect assumption, that would be more helpful. But you can’t actually muster the words, you just seethe anger and calumny.

Which is why you take the time to shave. Because you have nothing else to do or say.

It’s not about criminals. More native born people in this country are criminals by far. Do you want to deported them as well?

It was always about deterrent. Fine. We let all these people in. But we have our own problems that we must address first.

And it is sad that so many people were affected. But the previous administration threw out all of the rules and let countless people flood in while neglecting their own population so rich people could get richer.

Now it must end. The deterrence was quite effective. And deporting was never as important as enforcing border laws.

Do we have a country or not? If thry can enforce their laws on me, why not them?

Obviously because rich people need maids and low-wage workers.

Beloved, that was a great response. Let us dwell on it for a moment. As siblings.

Please keep trying to capture the truth.

One just speaks to the rooster on the other side of the fence, there is no special knowledge here that cannot be found elsewhere.

Your thought expresses humility, which is a rare quality. The original theory was that ‘seemingness’ does not equal actual reality.

If you actually possess that knowledge, which you express … accuracy over content … then we are not far apart.

Much love to my siblings. We are all one. We are trying to work it out. Believe we will succeed, though the flow is infinite.

Anybody from the UK saying ‘clown shoes’ is an example of why it’s funny.

Pot call kettle black, basically.

Your whole culture is clown shoes. You can’t even speak your own language without a speech impediment.

One comes from the US where rightwing people strap on boots everyday and do the hardest tasks.

Truly praying for the most fallen, ridiculous, and unforgiven country the world has right now.

UK? It’s like saying ‘dogfood’. It means nothing. It’s sad and interesting to watch. The people who gave us the English language obviously have no ability to use it.

Conversely, rightwing people in the US are lazy in mental perspective. They simplify the most complex issues into easily identifiable patterns which are illusionary.

But one understand why. Because they do the hardest jobs, and create social stability, with their grit and determination. Higher level observations simply don’t help them get the job done.

Let’s do rightwing bullshit. Since we’re there. You get your garbage taken away every week, on time, almost exactly the same time, and you don’t have to think about it.

Go to Russia. Bridges fall down, everyone lives in the wake of a left-wing fantasy, and nobody is kind unless you have something to offer them.

Now let’s do a revolution so some psychopath can take over and destroy all common decency.

Do you think Trump is right-wing? That’s laughable. He’s too funny to be right-wing, and has too many unclear goals.

Right-wing people have their faults, for sure, but one of them is not immodesty and laziness. It’s not people who can barely keep their pants up, or have them so tight they appear to be glued on.

You can’t blame a single group of thinkers. They think this way, but they are adaptable.

Look, the CIA is a serious set of people who cannot be trifled with. But they are adaptable, as are any group of humans.

We change the woeld by insisting that humans must be free. But also, free from. Free from truly nefarious actors who only want control.

Maybe CIA people are against that. Maybe that’s why they do what they do.

I get that you’re in favor of Iranian policies to execute 30,000 or more people who just wanted more rights for women and daily life.

You believe that because your rights have never been seriously questioned, so why would anyone else’s be?

Human beings love and desire freedom. You live in a quasi-authoritarian state, so this shit seems normal to you, and you are not offended by it.

To you, peace means give me the things I want, and all is well.

You don’t stop to imagine what you are missing out on. Like these women and their male supporters in Iran.

Just talk about shit. The articles are there, read them if you want. Stopped doing that years ago because it’s just a scam.

This is not a defense of Islam. It is a statement about literature.

In the category of wisdom, you basically have two camps. One says repression leads to stronger outcomes. The other says liberation does so.

It really doesn’t have anything to do with literature. This culture or that culture can say, here is our guiding light.

But the literature of Islam, directly connected to Koranic teaching, seems, from a medieval perspective, to favor women. That’s why it’s so ironic.

You say that with a shocking detachment. You are living here right now. Wake up to its immenence.

In the country of the United States, nobody is going to eff with us, because we have nuclear weapons. You can’t just fly in here and do your bidding. We will make your life a living hell.

Not every country has this deterrent. They depend on rules-based order, which is being left, by and large, because each country has become afraid.

It is this fear which is driving a madness, which is pushing us to the brink. But one believes in love. I believe we can push past this utter chaos in our thinking. Because we must, but also because we want to.

You have it in reverse, limited resources actually causes excess population. When there’s nothing else to do, people f*ck.

Of course famine and political pressures which lead to that, are a factor. However, the real resource is cultural, it’s mental, it’s ‘potential’. It’s freedom to create something new and interesting.

When theology and politics collude, there is an integral degradation of mental resources. People stop thinking, and become drones, bots, npc’s. They are stripped of their potential. They react in a variety of ways, one of which is the enslavement of women for the function of reproductive activity—which we might owe a debt of gratitude toward.

Summarily, the darkness born of ideological theology (as opposed to cultural theology, which binds people together informally), leads to population booms, and as a product of last resort, people reproduce as a means of coping, without the accompanying intention of reproduction…

The most stable demographic regions of this world are also the least economically developed. As an example.

Thank you for the reply. With all due respect to our elder, one would argue this doesn’t entirely have to do with education, as such.

Americans have long been socialized to be ‘doers’ of things, not thinkers. So while our European counterparts in the West were still critically thinking, we were building skyscrapers and dune buggies. It’s a difference in kind, not in degree.

However, we literally couldn’t build a skyscraper anymore without immigrants from other, less coddled cultures. We have fallen into a trap of ‘safety-ism’. A Buddhist concept of ‘do no harm’ (ahimsa) denuded of its cultural significance.

If one adds this cultural dimension stripped of raw ‘doer’ mentality to the incumbent anti-intellectual nature of our culture, we are left not only with unthinking people, but gutless people as well.

The idea is that this strange combination is infantilizing the humans within its grip, and stripping them of their moral and experiential character—character producing morality based on experience.

Thank you. Danka shoen, for your reply. Spent several months in Germany, and this does not (as yet) apply your rigid but complex and beautiful culture.

The concept mentioned here is that bad education is infantilizing kids—not simply miseducating, but specifically coddling and preventing them from growing up.

Further, the theory included herein is that, by doing this ‘coddling’ and ‘teaching to a test’, rather than seeking true education, experimentation, and maturation, we are holding minds in a perpetual childhood, which is reflected in physical appearance.

That is the radical idea presented. That by feeding kids alphabet soup for 18 years, they do not physically mature either. They become stunted, much the same way a malnourished person (during childhood) does not reach their full growth potential. But it’s a face and eyes thing, rather than a height thing.
