  • It doesn't matter, whether the declarations don't match the results.

    Kehneman1 mind, imprint->reaction mind, ideology/prejudice mind, isn't rational.

    It doesn't matter, & he knows it.

    All that matters is that considered-reasoning, Kahneman2 mind isn't permitted any "ground" in any discussion/broadcast.

    ( "Thinking Fast & Slow" is the single most-important book in the whole world, right now, for those who care to understand what's happening in our world )

  • I disagree: it took me years, but finally I understood that it'll take him a few years to go from "I'm dictator" to "I'M DICTATOR".

    That process is an identity-remaking.

    There will be literal human-sacrifice after a few years, but not at the beginning.

    I hope I'm wrong, but .. certain I'm right, on this point.

  • At least he's open about extortion, & using his leverage in any company he owns only as a means of gouging all for his personal-wealth..

    A kind of honesty, eh?

  • But they can't do anything about it, right?

    That, right there, calls the entire legal-profession & "justice" system into contempt of justice.

    "Checks & Balances" are supposed to prevent ideological highjacking of the judiciary, right?

    Obviously, it was all pretend, all "nudge nudge wink wink" "checks & balances".

    The legal profession either will finish giving totalitarianism the leverage it needs to exterminate civil-rights,

    XOR ( exclusive-OR ) it will get rewritten in ways that prevent such obscenity from wearing the legal-profession & calling itself "justice".

    I'm not holding my breath for the Justice solution: incumbent lobby/interest groups wouldn't ever allow integrity to crimp their style, would they?

  • & Adolf Hitler was calling Churchill "a firebrand" & a threat to Europe.

    Gaslighting is something that machiavellians do.

  • I'm fed-up with shaving, & wish I could get & use a laser permanent-ish epilation thingy for my beard, but .. my hair's mostly white, now, & it requires color for working ( the laser-light has to be absorbed, right? )

    I don't know that Black people could use that, though, now that I think of it ( the unfairness of it just struck me, it isn't pertinent to your situation, I don't believe )

    hmm...

  • Notice his gaslighting:

    he's actively warring to destroy as much of the Palestinian population as possible, & eradicate them from their lands,

    & he puts this forward as the real problem, or the key to solution..

    Misdirection

  • Depends on the religion, I'd say..

    to me, though, it'd be a mental-illness to want one.

  • Attending & hitting with pointed-questions would do more than not-attending.

    Same with all the people who quit their post in order to protest the misuse-of-authority: when you get out of abuse's way .. you aren't hindering it, you're only making a "social statement".

    Remaining in the way, & pushing back is what's required, right?

  • The most-predictable method I know-of, for producing inability-to-plan, is chaotic/incomprehensible parenting or home-situation:

    The child learns that there is no cause-effect relationship, that no planning is going to produce any results, & this lesson alters their unconscious brain-wiring .. by the age of 7?

    Possibly younger.

    WHEN life is irrational & chaotic, THEN planning is wasted-effort, & only immediate-gratification produces any worthwhile results.

    That sabotage-of-a-life isn't undoable.

    Worse, it's self-perpetuating, generation on generation.

    Breaking the cycle .. how could it happen?

    You'd need to break the brokenness in the parenting, itself, & you'd need to do it consistently, for the next-generation, so they grew-up with stable & trustworthy parenting, through years of young-childhood..

    how could such result be created.

    No population would tolerate such alteration of their family-process, would they?

  • Realistically, it'll take 2 decades to hammer-out AI to the level that it's truly-mission-trustworthy.

    Right now, everybody's "high".

    It's the same with all technologies..

    Remember a few years ago, when somegody discovered you could power things with steam?

    Remember the hype?

    The whole coal industry, remember that?

    The business with the invention of the horseless carriages?

    The invention of the wheel was before my time, but I'm sure it was hyped on Myspace or something, back in the day..

  • Space-suits must operate this way, if inadvertently..

    The number of decibels at the rocket-nozzles is waaay higher than what it would be "at the top of the candle", but .. there's pretty-much nothing in Nature as loud as those things are, except meteorites, maybe some volcanoes, being inside of lightning, etc..

  • Fucking fool:

    Trump's going to back Putin directly, against East Europe, gutting NATO, & Zelenskiy is goading him to be enemy?

  • She knows that if she ditches him, and he becomes dictator, and he becomes more Putin-like, he may have her murdered or torture-murdered.

    I'd say she has no choice about sticking with him, now: it's a fact of her basic-survival, in the long-term view.

  • The problem is partly that the entire-framing of what a working government requires is wrong..

    A political-party with a leader..

    that isn't working, never has worked for the best of any first-past-the-post country, & never will.

    Just as the Indigenous peoples often had different kinds of Chiefs for different dimensions of their lives..

    • Peace Chief for maintaining proactive/strategic harmony
    • War Chief for dealing with existential threats from others
    • Shaman for dealing with the deep end of reality
    • Grandmothers for dealing with the questions that neither males nor young-people were competent at understanding .. etc ..

    What the world actually requires is a system whereby the different kinds of leaders required to competently lead a country ALL get put in place.

    Jugmeet Singh's a people-person, and he could be there both for, & with, people better than anybody else I know-of in Canadian federal politics..

    but he isn't the guy who I'd put in charge of Strategy, or the person whom I'd put in charge of Implimentation, or the person I'd put in charge of Emergency Services & Military..

    the right-framing would require a team, not an individual.


    There's a book "Rocket Fuel" which is on how nearly-all businesses get 1 thing wrong:

    most businesses mistakenly ignore that a visioneer usually isn't an implimenter.

    Implimenter's closer to bean-counter.

    Visioneer's closer to .. lunatic.


    The book Change Intelligence identifies that people-people are 1 of 3 major kinds of leaders required...

    the other 2 being thinkers/visioneers, & the implimenters..

    You REQUIRE all-3, or you're not having enough traction to accomplish what you're supposed to be doing!


    The business-culture's incompetence, however, is that it presumes that the COO of a company ( who is an implimenter ) ought be the next CEO ( which is kinda what happened to Beoing: they ended up with no engineer-visioneer, only bean-counters, & the whole religion of the company became poison.. NASA did the same thing when it compromised engineering for "business" culture, with the Challenger shuttle )

    The problem is that you can't put a person whose nature fits only 1 of the required-roles, into a different required-role.

    NONE of our countries bothers differentiating between the required-roles & then works to get the right person into each of those roles, none!

    That is, at global scale, Darwin Award territory.

    We KNOW the more complex the leadership, or management, problem, the better-quality the team required, we KNOW the structural-diversity of the team is key to having it be more-capable in different ways..

    we won't do what's required??

    ( PS: never expect any political-system to tolerate required-evolution.

    World-death would be preferable to political-motivation, compared with actual transformation to a different apolitical kind of system,.

    Sad but true. )

  • Keep in mind that some people just have brain-defects.

    I'm defective for social-process ( if I could live somehow where I never had to meet another human-being, or never had to even be within 100km of any human-being, only interacting online, .. for the rest of my life .. lower stress .. yeah : )

    but not defective for some other things, maybe.


    Some people are color-blind, some dyslexic, some are screwed for spelling, some for grammar.

    Diversity's more real than I'd ever understood, when I was young..

    Evolution's concerned with getting the average right, right?

    The individual can be .. chaotically a mixture of better-at-this & moar-worser-at-that, while still keeping the average .. average.

    : )
