All this begs the question:

Why not learn crochet/knitting, & make one's own, of whatever yarn one wants??

( that will happen, for me: I'm fed-up with things that never fit right, or are wrongly designed )

Obviously, therefore, competing against the system of moneyarchy would be the only possible means of displacing its dominion on the world, so, ..

.. how come nobody's doing it properly, or at-scale??

I'm talking about a competing economic-system, not competing against a few companies within moneyarchy's regime.

: )

I've become of 2 minds about leather footwear & gloves:

The primary alternative to leather is plastic, which, when it breaks-down, sabotages the food-web, right?

Leather doesn't do that.

I honestly don't know what The Right Answer(tm) is, on that one, anymore.

I'm usually vegan, btw, not for ideological/religious reasons, but simply because doing otherwise blocks my ability to reach the meditations I need.

I do find butchering animal lives for a mere few-meals unethical, but refugee Buddhist monk Kelsang Gyatso pointed-out in one of his books, IF a person has anemia, THEN the right antidote is eating red meat.

He's ordained, a Geshe, and he is recommending that right in his dharma.

Years-enduring clothing is a much less desolating consumption than needless meat-eating.

Exactly as that brilliant psychological truth in the Christian bible shows, naive truth, aka symbolic "truth", is syrupy-sweet in one's face/mouth, whereas digested & real, experience-induced-understanding Truth, is bitter.

See for yourself:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2010%3A8%2D10&version=CJB

Those are the natures of the phases of The Great Filter:

from top to bottom:

• AnimalsAndTribesTime ( the StalkGrowingTime, of the people-of-the-corn, the future LivingPeace time being the FloweringTime, in their prophecies/predictions ), Unconsciously Wasting Opportunity, Potential, Resources, Time, etc ( last few millenia )
• Predicting the inevitable and inescapable circumstances in The Great Filter ( the Christian bible's "Revelations" and "Daniel" & other stuff, some Indigenous prophecy, like The Great Purification, & the one with the everybody-in-the-forest-is-panicking-and-the-whole-forest-is-burning, which is symbolic, etc... )
• an "Age" ( a "Day" as a thousand years, followed by a "Night" as a thousand years, aka approx 2 millenia ) passes after the earliest of those predictions/prophecies, blossoming into...
• An Industrial Age, industriously butchering the ecology, the climate-basis, EVERYthing, thus enforcing what the scientifically-testable-prediction/prophecy predicted, for possession-of-dollars...

multiple transformations, accelerating, eventually 1 of those becoming a tipping-point, that is...

• The Yin Unravelling, when ignoring/denying and the assumed-entitlement underlying it, "protects" the spiritual/progressive population, while the herd-authority-BULLING factional-supremacists, of all kinds, work at setting-up the decapitation of all governance ( began a few decades ago )
• The Yang Unravelling, when SUDDENLY rampaging military butchery is empire-building globally, and at the end of this phase 4 empires/alliances remain on the world ( this has to do with the unconscious-mind Rule of 3: it isnt possible for a normal limbic or brainstem mind to track more than 3 things, I saw a Nature article on their site about salamanders having this 3-thing-limit, so self+3-others becomes the planetary-limit due to a psychological LAW underlying possibly all vertebrates ).

This stage takes ( on this world ) 7 years. Since I expect this stage to begin in the January of 2025, when Trump is crowned GEOTUS ( this is truly-sad, but if you go to https://www.Wikipedia.org/ and you search for GEOTUS, you will be landed on the Donald Trump page. "GEOTUS" stands for "God Emperor Of The United States". Exactly what Daniel predicted, back when Buddha was kicking around ) :

Israel is going to be annihilated then.

It is probable that with Trump gutting NATO, & siding with Russia, most of East Europe will become possession of Russia, who, themselves, will be owned by the CCP who financially own Russia, right now, and increasingly, too...

Asia is going to be smashed by CCP, in the Yang Unravelling.

Africa? Smashed by the one that Eternity ( or the meditations dwelling deep within it, whichever ) calls "The Demon King", turned partly into a worshiping-of-that-king and a mountain-of-murders.

The West? civil-wars, civil "schizophrenia" tearing it to shreds, going nowhere.

• Hammerfall, when ALL enforcement-of-violence, through ALL means, owns EVERYTHING in the world.

This, obviously, is what ww3 aka "The Great Purification" ( Indigenous, 9+ centuries old prophecy/prediction ) or "THE Valley Of Death" refers to.

Because Kessler-Syndrome gets enforced by all sides, the very beginning of Hammerfall phase, then it turns immediately into a grinding war-of-attrition, globally.

It will go on for multiple decades, probably tending-towards 1/2 century.

• Ecological-collapse, of both terrestrial & marine food-webs, is guaranteed late this-century, given our rabid butchery of it, for a few temporary dollars: multiplying the butchery-of-food-web by ww3 makes it impossible that it won't happen, this century.

I've no idea what the proper-naming-of-this-stage's-essence is, yet.

TimeOfBillionsOfDeaths ( a very-few years, since you can't postpone nutritional-requirement, unlike a particular-territory's-battle ) would be a sane name for that phase, but Eternity will speak its meaning, whenever it does.

• Some kind of transformation happens, later, but the war-of-attrition continues grinding, until factional-herdbeast-bulling-supremacism is extinguished, whether anybody-else survives, or not, planetwide...
• I expect no more than 1.5% of humankind to be living into next-century's possible, but not guaranteed "LivingPeace".

Both Jewish & Christian bibles contradict me, saying 1/3rd survive Hammerfall & TimeOfBillionsOfDeaths, but .. they don't actually identify what fraction survives the whole thing, do they?

The Christian version only identifies that 2/3rds of the planet's population dies, during some part of the whole catastrophy.

Therefore, 1 or the other is guaranteed to be wrong, simply because you can't have 2 identical-fractions of death for 2 different scopes of time, around this century... the scope that includes more of the butchery, all the phases, should have a higher-number, arithmetically, right?

The names I'm certain-of, I didn't invent: they just were, themselves, and I eventually either found them, in the Eternity-dwelling meditations, or was told them, and they fit.

Like when somebody pointed-out that the term translated in Christian bibles' Revelations as "harlot" and "whore" is also "strumpet", in Rev's referring to "the Jezebel".

( check any thesaurus of English for the truth of that, btw )

Anyways, since you actually cared to understand, I hope this clarifies what I currently find to be true, whether it proves-out or not.

Kaizen requires that one relentlessly improve one's current-view based-on-evidence, right?

& Scientific Method requires letting the evidence speak its Truth, right?

: )

Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, Hoomin!

I only glanced at that, & saw the ascendency/supremacy items...

Any moron can see that the dark-pentad...

{ Narcissism; Machiavellianism; Psychopathy; Nihilism; Sadism }

...is being more-and-more explored & pushed by various factional-supremacists throughout our world...

"Mutually Assured Destruction" .. is ONLY a deterrant when BOTH sides DON'T assume that God is going to obediently reward them for "martyring" themselves, with other-souls/CellsOfGod made into personal-slaves for them, for all Eternity.

Hamas's aim is Mutually Assured Destruction: Nihilism, with religious-reward from the GiverOfAllSouls supposedly rewarding them for their Nihilism-enforcement.

The "Christian" apocalyptic-nihilists are on the same wavelength, btw.

The Yang Unravelling stage of this Great Filter either has begun, or is about-to begin, between now & spring 2025...

There should be only 4 factions/empires left on the planet by 2033, and then the Hammerfall stage of The Great Filter begins, and should last for about 1/2 or so century, before terrestrial & marine food-webs collapse... maybe less than 1/2 century, but it won't be a mere-decade...

For all who believe that ICBM's are going to settle everything in mere-days, Kessler Syndrome is going to rip the rug out from all aerospace force-projection, right in the 1st few hours, if not minutes, of Hammerfall-stage.

It's like hollering into a building hurricane: nobody is going to believe ANY of this, until it has already become historical-fact, and even-then, it'll be denied by the world's majority: ideological-addiction/prejudice is a drug stronger than crack?

Non-objectivity is a mental-illness our cultures have made their beloved-drugs. And our lives are going to pay the price for that ignoring/denying, a thousandfold.

There is an error that many in the dispute are making...

Imagine that BORG-AI is an ai that was trained ONLY on GPL2 program-code...

Imagine that you use it to fill-in some functions in your codebase...

What sort of copyright-status should be on those??

I say they should be GPL2, and they should be considered derivative of the ENTIRE training-data-set.

That doesn't mean I think that the BORG-AI should be a copyright holder, though!

I'm saying that there should be a NEW category, between uncopyrighted & copyrighted, and that the training-sets need to be segregated by license, so that derivatives CAN know what their legal licensing-status is.

GPL2, GPL3, BSD, LGPL2, whatever... it needs to be consistent within the training-data-set, so that the derivative of THAT module/expert can be having the same license, see?

The collapse of the economy is going to gut that: 2024 won't be won by the Democrats.

I hadn't forseen the 17-month suspension-from-traiding put on Evergrande group, but that didn't prevent them from losing, oh, 2 ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE of value, on the day they began trading again...

You simply can't remove the anti-financial-crisis-rules, as Trump did, without enabling financial-crisis-2, which is going to have Citadel simply disappear, instead of paying for the naked-shorting it's been doing...

Whatever: nobody believes that the current-conditions are real, so why bother trying to communicate that the progression-from-now-to-inevitable-consequences is real, right?

The Republicans win 2024, due to backlash, and then their "Red Caesar" dictatorship plan decapitates "democracy" from the US in early 2025, and then .. then the ocean-of-butchery begins.

This is, obviously, a testable prediction: simply wait & see.

I expect there to be about 260 million slaughtered in the 14 years beginning with 2025, in North America, not including those who die fighting in ww3, only including those who died in the internal war(s) & the natural-disasters of this accelerating ClimatePunctuation time.

Simply wait & see: science is made of testable predictions, and the tests that either falsify 'em or fail to falsify 'em.

Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen.

( :

Please do the experiments identified in William J. Walsh's "Nutrient Power" book, and discover whether they remove the need for pharmaceutical drugs.

IF they do, THEN you've found a much-less-toxic answer. ELSE, you tried an experiment, and you learned that that didn't work, and you have exactly the same situation you currently have, except with better-understanding ( knowing 1 alternative didn't work for you ).

I have replicated the undermethylated-DNA-disorder treatment in William J. Walsh's "Nutrient Power" book, 4 times, 2x with enteric-coated SAM-e, taken 40mins before breakfast, with clear water ( then ride the nausea for awhile, but the results after 3 months were STUNNING: ZERO stress??? ) 2x with Methionine ( 4 months for results, same nausea, but that can be hidden in a meal, so you don't notice it ).

I have replicated the pyrrol-disorder treatment in his book 4 times, discovering that it is required to use zinc-gluconate and zinc-picolinate, but not zinc-citrate, and arachidonic-acid-precursor ( the evening-primrose oil he recommends, but never explains why ), and P5P form of one of the B vitamins. Doing so, at the correct levels, meant that for the 1st time in my life I experienced life without the amygdala-highjack PTSD-style flash-RAGEs, and was simply happy. Never experienced that before, or after, those experiments.

The reason I discontinued the undermethylated-DNA-disorder treatment is that it removed stress, completely, from my life, but it also removed drive, striving, academic-striving, perfectionism, and other similar/related things, and I NEED my drive/striving, even if it is too-strong and distorts me, better to have it than to have none-of-it.

However, if ever I find that I need to "take the edge off", I can simply take Methionine, 1 capsule / day, and within a few months, I get a break/relief from the life-crushing stress.

The reason I discontinued the pyrrol-disorder was that for me it was requiring 200mg zinc per day, and that meant a zinc tablet every 6 hours, and the regime was brutal, and keeping the biochemistry-balance was stressing me out...

( Walsh states in his book that people with pyrrol-disorder have biologies which wrongly eradicate zinc, and it takes multiple times the zinc that a person without pyrrol-disorder would require, to make correctly-functioning biochemistry. My experience backed that, completely. I suspect that anybody without pyrrol-disorder would be outright killed, by metals-poisoning, from 0.2g of zinc in a mix of gluconate & picolinate, every day, within weeks. For my chemistry, it made me not-fighting-the-rages-all-the-damn-time & happy )

Walsh states that overmethylated-DNA-disorder ( treated with niacinimide & folate ), and undermethylated-DNA-disorder, and pyrrol-disorder, account for much, if not most, of "psychiatric" conditions.

My life-experience backs that statement.

Being gaslighted by psychiatrists that a 10% brain-volume-loss ( acute child-onset "schizophrenia", and that 10% brain-volume-loss has been known-about since the 1920's btw ) isn't brain-injury, as stroke, aneurism, and concussion are, but is magically "illness of the mind" ( so the 10% brain-tissue loss has ZERO significance?? ), is galling

What kids who just had 10% of their brain-volume apoptosis-slaughtered NEED, is help in dealing-with-massive-brain-injury, and NOT bullying, combined with gaslighting, combined with major-tranquilizers... Get them out of the pressure of school, put them in sane, supportive, distortion-challenging environments, treat whatever methylation-disorder or/and pyrrol-disorder they have, and help them put their brains back into functioning again.

https://www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.1073/pnas.201243998

is a paper SHOWING where brain-loss occurs, so don't bother pushing the "there's no scientific evidence that the 10% brain-volume-reduction is real" gaslighting ( I'm not saying that to the person I'm replying-to, I'm stating that for all who read this, who push medical-fundamentalism ).

I used to believe-in medicine, as a religion ( dad was a medical-researcher, doctor, etc ), but their rejection of scientific-method, preferring prejudice, has turned me off from wanting anything to do with the .. effectively, "church".

They have plenty of evidence that the year-long identity-formation-hazing-ritual of Residency:

• damages performance, putting lives at risk
• damages learning, making significantly less learning get into the medical-resident in any given month than could have been the case, with saner hours/workload
• damages empathy, putting patient-lives at-risk for the entire rest of their career,
• etc,

but because it is an identity-forming ritual, evidence simply cannot dent the belief/devotion/fanaticism.

"Evidence-based medicine" that rejects evidence, holding instead to establishment-authority's lordhood, .. is gaslighting.

That gaslighting has been called-out in books, btw...

Doctor's narcissism-culture is even used as the exemplar of narcissism-culture in a book by researchers Logan, King, & Fischer-Wright ( named "Tribal Leadership", about the 5 social-process levels ).

V.S. Ramachandran railed at doctors' narcissism in his book "Phantoms in the Brain", re 1 patient of his...

There is a chapter in one of John Brockman's ( editor ) books, the one named something like "This Idea Must Die", and that article explicitly states that doctors don't do evidence-based medicine, they do authority based medicine.

Doctors, of course, contempt that, & deem all who speak what the evidence shows, to be "mentally ill", which, itself, is also gaslighting.

I'm fed-up with that.

( raised by narcissists: both parents were medical-professionals, and medical-culture IS narcissistic, and the effects of that have been studied, in the damage it does to kids of such parents, going back decades ).

As Sabine Hossenfelder says, in her video on it: "Do your own research, BUT DO IT RIGHT."

Comically, doctors' authority-addiction is going to be torpedoed by ML and AI, and there isn't anything they can do about it, simply because the machines are better diagnosticians than the doctors are, and THAT is evidence-based medicine.

It is irresponsible/incompetent to have a less-accurate-human read the X-ray & diagnose, when a machine can do it with less false-negative and false-positive errors: patient-lives are on the line.

Watch them fight to prevent the better-diagnostician machines from doing the job that they do better than the doctors...

They already are, ttbomk...

It's your LIFE, you know?

There are 3 books I recommend for A.D.D./A.D.H.D.:

• "The Disorganized Mind", by Nancy A. Ratey
• "Organizing From The Inside Out", by Julie Morgenstern
• "Organizing Solutions For People With ADHD", by Susan C. Pinksy ( that last one caused me to realize I needed to keep my clean-clothes in the bathroom, so when I come out of the shower, clean clothes are right-there. )

and this one I recommend for most:

• "21 Days to Resilience", by Montminy
