It’s worse than that:

He can legally remove-citizenship from anybody, now, & no court-injunction has any power on him, or his appointees I read ( that was bundled-into his big “beautiful” bill, apparently )

All he has to do is create “justification” for declaring the Democratic party to be terrorists, denaturalize all of 'em, & then there ARE no non-Republican judges left, legal, in the country…

Nobody to appeal to: your accuser is the Republicans, & your judge will also be Republican.

Dig-in, people, hire private-investigators ( or get books on it, & books on journalism, & books on building a legal case, & get competent, pronto, if you can’t afford to hire help ) to get the evidence required against the electorate who’ve been breaking the law ( insider-trading, e.g. ), & GET leverage, before there’s none left…

The assuming victory habit that the Dems have used to “protect” themselves, thus-far ( like how their assuming protected Harris’s victory, while they sat at home, smug ), has cost too-much leverage, thus-far.

Just recently it gave Trump’s buddy Millei another term, in Argentina…

Get pragmatic, dig-in, unearth & earn owning-of, all remaining available leverage, & use it while you can…

They’re literally replicating nazi Germany’s ever-escalating progression, & the nazis using legalism to dismantle rule-of-constitution, & the US’s “night of long knives” will come, sooner-or-later…

it’s only a matter of when, now…

Simply noodling the question, not having read their take on it…

traditions form in contexts, and if they formed in ancient-context, then wouldn’t it be sane to question their validity, nowadays??

Systematically…

that old saw about they guy who calls-up his sister to ask how to cook a roast, gets told the recipe, & asks his sister "why do you have to cut the roast in 2, 1st?, & is told “… I don’t know”, so they call-up their Mom, & it turns-out that their Mom had-to, because the roast wouldn’t fit into the pot that she had, but nobody had questioned that, for years!

Recalibration NEEDS to happen periodically, pruning cruft…

Ah HA!!

The startup mantram “Fail early, fail often: agile adapting!” applies, here, too!

It’s more long-term-efficient to drop traditions when they are mismatching context, than it is to keep orienting to context that we don’t have, anymore, isn’t it?

In reddit, I’d discovered that some people would karma-farm that way…

Annoying-as-hell, when the deletion of a post doesn’t delete the karma-farmer’s accured-from-that points, in my eyes: it distorts things in favor of the machiavellians…

No idea how these instances deal-with that kind of thing…

The narcissism of anthro-centrism is endless, isn’t it?

They’re still phrasing some of this stuff as-if it’s doubtful, WHILE giving multi-millenia times between the artwork was created, vs when homo-sapiens appeared…

1 item they list is over 70-k years old…

There should be ZERO doubt.

There should have been zero doubt once radio-isotope dating put even ONE “black swan” on the map.

A woman pointed-out in New Scientis, decades ago, that the Neanderthals had 1 significant disadvantage, compared with us: worse brain-cooling.

Given 10s of millenia, that could well be a natural-selection force-to-be-recon’d-with…

Other than that, I don’t think they were at any obvious-to-us-now disadvantage, given that the artwork seems equally-advanced, & that is something that takes mental capability

( work-through Betty Edwards’ “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, the 4th Definitive Edition”, to experience for yourself what the sentience-shift feels-like, when one gets out from education-pushed language/reductionism mode into wholistic mode…

I’m autistic, so it didn’t take a few days to reach that, it took 3 years, before my 1st experience of the sentience-shift.

It’s real.

The horrid scrawlings in New Scientist Magazine were done by somebody who’d never experienced it in their entire adult-life.

Here’s a before-that-book’s-training / after-that-book’s-training, with the book’s author, in her “killer class”, gallery, of some of her students: see the mind-healing in the expressions of these people: https://www.drawright.com/before-after )

The egotism of our view won’t die, though: “God revolves around Man”, “The universe of God revolves around the world of Man”, “only we have souls”, “only we ever had human-sentience”, “only we inhabit the galaxy/universe”, on & on & on…

( all of the “only OUR religion is valid, in God’s eyes” narcissism by lots of different populations also goes in that same bin, obviously )

some day, some evidence is going to poke our racial-ego in the eye, with a “pointed stick” of evidence, and it may well spark global rioting, given the ideological distortion our ego maintains…

I wish that our habit of presuming that we are the center of validity, & that center is somehow “exclusive” of all other lives, had already been intentionally “put down”, before I’d got to school.

How awesome it’d have been, to grow-up with schoolbooks which showed that we had equally-valid kin…

To all Albertans who aren’t living in ideology ( ANY ideology: I now think they’re damned mind-parasites, trying to destroy our world, the same as rabies-viruses collaborate to do-so, to the lives they infect ),

& there are many, gratitude to you for your culture of saying what you mean, & meaning what you say, which much of the rest of Canada could benefit significantly from…

I’ve never been there, but an Albertan made a big impression on my mind, decades ago, at an accessibility meeting, then I knew some former-Albertans & they were good people, too, years later.

Also, there was a program running in Afghanistan, & what it did was it got Afghani people to be employed outside of the drug-industry, & outside of the endless warlordism…

They sometimes literally paid people to move hills, by hand, if that’s what it took to get people out from the cycles which kept drowning their country…

It was winning…

( then Trump signed an agreement with somebody to pull the US out from Afghanistan, gutting everything )

I don’t know what that program was called, but it took an Albertan to run it.

( read about it perhaps 1.5 decades ago, in some newspaper ).

Gratitude for that, too.

ALL of our provinces & territories have ideologues, who try to increase their importance/significance through making themselves look bigger than they are, right?

We need to out-compete the ideologues.

That is how we win Natural Selection!

Namaste, & Kaizen, fellow Canuckians!

He has already demonstrated that he de-registers non-Republican voters, in order to swing election-victories, from what I’ve read, & somebody was investigating a few thousand deregistrations at 1 single riding, in the Harris-got-beat election…

He can declare the Democratic party a “terrorist organization”, & denaturalize all Democrat party members.

Popularity is no-longer required, to win elections, in the US of A.

Soft-dictatorship is what’s happening, now, but as soon as he can, it’ll turn HARD.

Every possible escalation, his hidden-brain people will engineer for him.

You are seeing the gradual snuffing of the US of A, by its president.

There won’t be any constitution, once he finally unmasks the real-truth.

It all comes down to how much balls he’s got, to be aggressive with his inevitable design, now.

_ /\ _

Remember he promised his followers, they “wouldn’t have to vote anymore”…?

There isn’t going to BE any 2028 election.

He’d rather machine-gun millions of US citizens down, than tolerate to lose his dream.

Mom, a former-nurse, who ended-up working in Canada’s federal-disability program as its chief file-fixer,

told me that breast-cancer gets both women & men,

but because in men it’s got sooo little distance to critical-organs, it is much less survivable, for men, on average.

By the time you discover it, … usually it’s too-late, & you’re a goner.

Typical sadism, by the ideologues’ part, it is…

This is going to get FAR worse, & it isn’t going to “get better”.

Humankind’s running-away-from responsibility is an addiction, & it’ll just keep fighting for its totalitarian-dominion.

Ever seen a addict fighting against their unconscious-mind’s junk-addiction, when their unconscious-mind’s addiction’s committed to breaking their life, to “prove who’s BOSS”, & they … just get destroyed, & dead?

Humankind’s doing that, globally…

it isn’t quite obvious-enough, yet, but in a few more years, there won’t be any more “time for thinking”, because it’ll all be reacting-time, to the rampaging ideologies that are highjacking everything…

People who reject evidence, gaslighting about “biological truth”…

Typical…

Learned-helplessness: IF you keep battering a population from some principle, using incorporated-sociopaths, or bots,

THEN they’re going to yield from principle, because organisms AREN’T machines, & machines crush organisms, including minds.

Why is it that now no government really cares about mitigating the still-accelerating ClimatePunctuation??

Learned-helplessness.

Why is it that the popuation in Argentina didn’t vote-out Millei?

Learned-helplessness.

Why did sooo many younger voters not vote against Trump?

Learned-helplessness.

Why do privacy-raping apps now happen to be the norm?

Learned-helplessness.

this means that ANY abuse will win, given enough battering of the minds of the majority, if only it keeps hammering away to win.

it can also be INcorrect most of the time!!

ANY mind “educated” by ingesting the internet … isn’t going to be high on accuracy!!

1. pull-paradigm, &

One. pull-paradigm: don’t do what you hate: you’ll stop returning to it!!

Find exercise you LOVE doing, & then MAKE it have regular-place in your life, see?

Two. combined-arms: combine the same pull-paradigm in your diet, your fitness-practices, your friendships, you HEALING, see, and make there be sooo-many dimensions in your pulling-your-life-into-healing, that you can’t help but be healing/becoming more!

For the depression, get outside-in-daylight for at-least 30-mins every day, if you can ( or use a SAD light, when it’s gloomy ).

I had to live “in a lightbox”, with 500-watts of fluorescent daylight lighting, in my room, to keep me functioning at all, after I ditched the anti-depressants…

but it worked.

Make your waking-up alarms be lights, which are silent, instead of noisemakers:

warm-white, 1st, then a 2nd timer, 5+mins later, with daylight: it alters your melatonin balance ( the researchers who discovered that yes, in fact, light does alter melatonin, in spite of them not having accepted that as true…

shone lights in behind people’s knees, & even without “light receptors” in the skin there, the effect kept being measured.

Light is THE wakeup-input that people SHOULD be using, not noise! )

The details that you put on those 2 principles, are your details, but getting those-2-principles right massively improves your odds of holding-to-it for the entire-season it takes to gain usable-momentum.

1. Consider perspectives that are DRASTICALLY different, in roots, from what you were culturally-formed in.

You mentioned Alan Watts, please read this book, which he called his “I TOLD you so!” reference, written by a woman who was exploring the far-East back when women didn’t have legal-personhood…

https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/download/Buddhism-Philosophy-and-Doctrine/en/Alexandra David-Neel - The Secret Oral Teachings in Tibetan Buddhist Sects.pdf

There is a truth in that book, in one of the footnotes, which David-Neel gave only half of:

There are 2 kinds of people in the world:

• moderate-path realizers, &
• steep/savage-path realizers.

IF you are a moderate-path realizer, THEN do NOT take the savage-path-realizer’s “medicines”: they are deadly poison ( her term ) for you.

IF you are a savage/vertical-path realizer, THEN do NOT take the moderate-path-realizer’s “medicines”: they are deadly-poison for you.

Cultures work differently, & the lives born-into different cultures get formed into those cultures, so that lives born into “macho” cultures cannot value female-validity as equally-valid, because the culture prohibits that…

( there is a 6-year-shorter male-lifespan in fragile-masculinity cultures, btw: it may make for some cultural “male-supremacy”, but it abuses women AND it kills men: a lose-lose condition )

I may have mentioned these to you, before, but again, they are SO fundamental, for understanding our world, that once you see the world through understanding’s eyes, you cannot go back to the “blind” condition you were living-in, before…

Lanier’s book “Foreign to Familiar” explains WHY president Carter spent literally-days talking family with the Arab Middle-East leaders he was meeting, before getting down to brass tacks…

Hofstede’s “Exploring Cultures” explains how all cultures fit-together through his cultural-dimensions theory…

& gives examples of the different-kinds-of-reactions that people formed in other cultures do,

and once one sees those examples, then one can better-understand other people, from other cultures, throughout the rest of our world.

( IOW, you’ll have significantly-less miscommunication with these 2 books IN you, than not.

You decide if altering your life that-way is worth something to you, & if it is, then invest, please. )

IF you’re from North America, THEN please read Paul Fussell’s book on the North American Class System, & see how the reactions/prejudices he identifies seep-through, & shape, EVERYthing in this continent…

& then also read Woodard’s “American Nations”, to understand-better what’s really going-on!!

The US has been highjacked by the confederates: what the corporates call a “reverse takeover”.

The clearer you underestand what’s going on, in the world, the more likely you are to survive it, right?

Kahneman’s “Thinking, Fast and Slow”, is on the 2 thinking-systems in our brains ( see the book “Top Brain / Bottom Brain” for evidence that Kahneman & Tversky’s “System 1”, the imprint->reaction system, is actually lower-forebrain,

& their “System 2”, the considered-reasoning system, is actually upper-forebrain. The recent discovery that programming is upper-forebrain, instead of Broca’s & Wernicke’s areas, the language centers, doubly-backs this )

& when you understand Kahneman’s book THEN you will understand that the imprint-reaction-system, which is what all ideologies/prejudices/assumption-river-“religions”, etc, ARE, is highjacking the world, throwing-from-the-world both objectivity & correct-reasoning, THEN you will see that it doesn’t matter which ideology wins:

IF ideological-REACTING wins, THEN … the world’s lost.

Objectivity & correct-reasoning MUST win, or humankind’s incapable of surviving ClimatePunctuation, this century.

Finish waking up, iow!!

“The Elements of Journalism” is an important book, for understanding the process of your doing journalism, of your making-peace with the different balances between quick-understanding vs rigorously-correct-understanding…

& why for-profit journalism isn’t trustworthy, because it’s propaganda, not journalism: it’s gaslighting, fundamentally…

The book “Corps Business: the 30 MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES of the US Marines” is sooo good a parenting book, that a hippie-woman & mother whom I loaned my copy to, years ago, told me she “wished I’d read that years ago”.

Read it & do your life a favor!

Henry Cloud’s book “9 Things You Simply Must Do” is important, too.

GET THE CORE UNDERSTANDINGS INTO YOU, & then YOU own your life more, understand?

The more-competent your core-understandings are, in more dimensions, the greater your life’s freedom, in choosing its/your own path.

The whole “education” ( with the falsifying-quotes ) in the West is actually patterned on the lower caste Hindu “education”, engineered to prevent autonomous-capability…

John Taylor Gatto, who destroyed his teaching-career in his acceptance-speech for the New York State Teacher-of-the-Year Award, discovered this, in his later research…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Taylor_Gatto#Main_thesis

IF children in school KNOW they’re loved, KNOW they’re valid, KNOW they’ve rights, … THEN how could the institution possibly manipulate them, to make the institution look good??

However, WHEN the institution has broken validity, self-certainty, etc, from the children in its power, THEN it can use PROVISIONALLY-bestowed ‘validity’ to make the children into the puppets it needs … ( I’m only being slightly more bitter-in-phrasing than Gatto himself was, btw, … this concept HE caused me to be understanding… )

US education was engineered to PREVENT any more Lincolns or Franklins, to make the population into the corporate-acceptable “consumable human-resources” that such operations wanted…

It was the coal industry who paid-for the establishment of education, in the US, according to Gatto.

That only makes-sense when you understand that it didn’t want any more interference/disruption, it wanted workers who obeyed, & “education” taught obeying…

( I’m self-educated: don’t even have North American grade-11, which is equivalent to European grade-10. Decades of force-mitigating literal-brain-decimation, 7+ years of homelessness, etc, didn’t stop me: understanding-stuff’s MY addiction.

Wisdom can be an addiction. Self-evolution can be an addiction. Addiction’s just a technology: it’s neutral, itself.

What it is that one happens to be addicted-to, that makes it either bad or good. : )

Anyways, I think it was your previous post that I replied-to, before…

If so, then I’m now adding this:

I’m not going to be giving you such recommendations if I see a 3rd post of yours: either you invest in learning, undoing the encultured-blindnesses, XOR you’re on your own, now.

Mollycoddling disempowers lives.

If you want to be given everything, instead of earning it, then I ought fuck-off, outright.

If you want to know what to dig into, the others in these posts are identifying stuff, & so am I.

To this should be added the symbol formed by the Big Dipper, when one sees it at the solstices and the equinoxen: the traditional Hindu, Buddhist, Hopi, & Navaho, swastika/sun-cross.

In my religion it represents the equanimity-of-OceanOfAllAwakeSouls/GreatSpirit/G-D.

Earth’s gyroscopic axis precesses/wobbles around, so 13 millenia from now the polestar that we have won’t be this planet’s polestar…

but another 13 millenia later, it will be…

Our world is transient, but the steadiness of the spirit that cultivates its children ( which are souls ) … doesn’t change.

Wikipedia’s page on the swastika is decent…

The fact that humankind’s working itself into its global tantrum-pogrom, because humankind’s unconscious-mind isn’t grown-up, … kinda proves that growing-up’s required.

The problem isn’t that growing-up is either bad or good, it is that there are multiple dimensions of growing-up, & destroying one’s magic is called “growing-up”, but destroying one’s unconscious-ignorance, conquering one’s unconscious-self, is true growing-up.

but that isn’t valued, by any establishment, mundane, religious, class-system, prejudice, or any other “church-of-established-status” we’ve made…

To keep the magic AND to conquer the unconscious-self, THAT is the task that origin-of-souls asks of us…

Please read Haich’s “The Wisdom of the Tarot”, which is the profoundest psychology-book there is in English, & it’s on the archetype-states of human sentience ( & why they’re presented as “shuffleable cards”, because we can experience them in OUR order, not in anybody-else’s order )
