Blowback.

If you want to know about the history of American wars and interventions, that is the best podcast by far.

Bye Bye Bad Man by The Stone Roses.

The guitar on this song is deceptively complex and difficult. And it’s soooo good. John Squire is 100% underrated.

Luckily my cat doesn’t mind them. They do work better than any regular litter. Almost no smell (just slight pine + pee smell) and super easy to clean.

My favourites are Willie Nelson and Townes Van Zandt. Folksy cowboy country, contemplative and melancholic.

But 99% accuracy is better than any human alive, so while maybe LLMs won’t be able to substitute critical systems, they might just replace all the people around those systems.

Like, we won’t want an AI as the failsafe for a nuclear plant. But we might prefer an AI as the the “person” in charge of this failsafe.

I think it’s pretty cool. The first time it happened I thought I was just “naturally tripping”. Or that I had a “super power”. But after the second or third time I just felt like it couldn’t be a thing only I ever experienced. So I searched online and found some people talking about it, their experiences very similar to mine, and eventually someone linked to the video I shared above and talked about the secret Thai royal martial art. All in all, I feel it’s indeed an ability all humans can have. I’m not sure on the mechanics of it, but if even blind people can “see” like this, I feel it must be something more than just “seeing” with the eyes closed, you know?

What would you say is the synesthesia part though? When it happens I can see things, like my hands, the room around me etc. not “shapes” or “colors” or anything.

Ideology is one hell of a drug.

They care more about the idea of destroying the state of Israel than about the liberation Palestinian people. Hamas was born out burning anger and vengeance, not a desire to rebuild. That would the PLO or PFLP.

The fact is a one state of Israel-Palestine with equal rights for all, reparations and right-of-return to displaced Palestinians, is the only real solution to end this cycle of violence once and for all.

But Hamas doesn’t want that. Neither does Bibi or the Israeli majority. Each are so filled with hatred, one side from revenge, the other from supremacy, that they can’t see a future where they live in peace with each other.

The best people who really want peace can do is support the PLO and the PFLP, imo. If they get strong enough to overtake Hamas in Gaza, that would be a very big step towards actual solutions. At least from the Palestinian side. And Israel wouldn’t have much of a leg to stand on, “self-defence” wise.

Ah no no, sure. I’m not saying shrooms can’t do stuff like that. But I think it’s a natural ability humans have, that we can learn to do without shrooms. Like, the people in the video I shared above literally learned it. Some are blind y’know.

I mean… the first line about it on the article is: it’s an unexplained phenomena. So… no learning here, no. Just more mysteries.

Except this exact same thing has happened to me many times, while completely sober.

This happens to me all the time. It hasn’t happened for a while now, but it used to happen more.

I saw a video of this martial arts class in the US, where they learn a secret technique from the (seriously) Thai royal family. They can see with their eyes closed as well.

I searched for it after many nights, while trying to fall asleep, seeing with my eyes closed. I had to look for some explanation, and I found the video and the Thai secret royal martial art…

And I only believe the video above because this happened to me many times. Otherwise I’d think they’re just full of shit and peaking through the blindfold.

The Zapatistas in Chiapas. The Hill peoples in eastern India. Rojava in Kurdistan. The vast majority of native peoples in Asia and the Americas before colonisation. The pirate societies, and related to that the Zana-Malata of Madagascar.

I suggest you to also read some of the articles and books by David Graeber. Like any. Egalitarian societies were his specialisation.

That is really unscientific. There is a lot of research on LLMs showing they have emergent intelligent features. They have internal models of the world etc.

And there is nothing to indicate that what we do is not “transforming” in some way. Our minds might be indistinguishable from what we are building towards with AI currently.

And that will likely make more of us start realising that the brain and the mind are not consciousness. We’ll build intelligences, with minds, but without consciousnesses.

Hostages don’t work…? Why would they be paid? They are just held for ransom. Are you dumb?

THE WHOLE OF ISRAEL IS A SETTLER COLONY BUILT ON TOP OF PALESTINE.

The Nakba destroyed the villages and cities of, and displaced over 70% of Palestinians to fund the state of Israel. The land Israel is built on is literally stolen from NATIVE Palestinians.

That is the definition of settler colonialism. A bunch of Europeans went to a land, murdered and forcibly expelled the natives to build an ethnostate.

Gaza is a concentration camp. The West Bank is a bantustan.

HOW CAN YOU DEFENT ISRAEL???

Literally no evidence, just mainstream propaganda and manipulated quotes lmao. Like we really ought to believe articles that come out the Atlantic? Bro try harder.

They never said “until all Jews” are killed.

Palestinians and Hamas can make the distinction between Jewish people and Israel.

Something Israel is incapable of doing. On purpose of course.

Rape and enslavement? Bro that is PURE propaganda juice.

And the Palestinians are saying “until we are free we will keep fighting”.

WHAT THE FUCK WOULD YOU EXPECT? A colonized people will keep fighting, forever.

No ethnostate can exist with peace. Jewish people are safer in the US than in Israel. And that was also true after WW2.

Creating a COLONIAL settler apartheid state where a bunch of people already lived? That is fucking dumb.

Eliminating Israel == calling for a genocide.

Israel is an apartheid fascist state. It should be dismantled. And a new secular state with equal rights for all should be made in its place.

That is the position of most Palestinians. Some even wish for a two state solution, for some reason.

But saying Israel shouldn’t exist is not genocidal, anti-semitic or anything. It’s just fucking human.
