All of them: I want authenticity,

and "superheroes" are fake human-meaning, engineered to push distractine power/ego-fantasy instead of actual-human development.

Read both of John Truby's books, "The Anatomy of Genres", & "The Anatomy of Story", and become much competenter in what story/movie makers should be doing,

and then consider how much is being invested in preventing realism-of-context from being known by mass-media consumers..

..and then understand the long-term consequences of deliberately/systematically diverging mass-awareness from what real meaning, real human context, is, .. through decades..

It's part of a whole-class, or whole-population, suckerpunching, but it seems to be of unconscious, not conspiracy, intent.

Pretence-programmed populations are less realistic & less reality-competent.

Bollywood & Hollywood both produce divorce-from-reality.

That isn't required, for story, or human-meaning, is it?

Raccoon-medicine is the medicine of helping-friends.

There was a meme going 'round, where somebody had put up a bird-feeder or something, and they had it about 1 yard/metre off the ground, to prevent the raccoons from getting food from it..

.. a whole heap of them formed a living-ladder, so one of 'em could get at the food.

That is the brilliantest demonstration of exactly what some Indigenous religions have said about 'em, that anybody could ever ask for.

Read "Medicine Cards" by Jamie Sams, for a good survey of animal-spirits: it's reasonably accurate.

I'd add to it that upright owl-medicine is the medicine of meditation, but Indigenous religions didn't dig into that kind of thing, only inner-winds peoples did ( Asian region ).

( and anybody who goes & lives among wilderness for awhile will learn animals' natures/spirits specific to that locale, obviously )

"Christians" have been systematically mis-interpreting their bible for centuries.

Here is the Complete Jewish Bible's rendition of a particular phrase used in Revelations, which implies, clear as day, that "those who call themselves Christians, but are a temple of _________" is equally valid

https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=call+themselves+jews&version=CJB

"Christians" read John, read that he called benJoseph :"rabbi", repeatedly, read that benJoseph called biblical-legalists "Hypocrites!" repeatedly, and ?won't? understand that John was criticizing the "Jews", ( with falsifying-quotes, which hadn't been invented yet ), and not Jews,

and instead of accepting that John was criticizing/attacking the false "Jews", the biblical-legalists who contempted everything in Isaiah & legally convicted benJoseph to get rid of him,

..they went around murdering Jews ( the Catholic Inquisition was waging war against both women & Jews, ttbomk ).and had the gall to be doing it, in their words, "in the name of the king of Jews".

Ideological-gymnastics, not proper reasoning, right?

IF the repeated-throughout-scripture claim that God/OceanOfAllAwakeSouls provides help at every change between Ages

( between Age of Taurus & Age of Aries was Moses,

between Age of Aries & Age of Pisces was benJoseph,

one might presume that benDavid would be now-ish,

& Metatron/Alpha+Omega would then be at the punctuation between the Age of Aquarius & the Age of Capricorn )

if that promised-help is true/real, then the false-Jews, false-Christians, false-Muslims, false-Buddhists, false-Hindus, etc, would be walking into a kind of trap: what they're sowing, they're going to be reaping, aka Karma, involuntarily & .. rather-long-term, right?

My apologies to you for being accused by "Christians", & others, who reject the actual-evidence available before their own eyes.

If it's any consolation, the rabid on this world, who worship their-own-ideology/prejudice,

instead of what the various scriptures were alluding-to,

would seem to be the vast majority of the world's population, which is going to be making the rest of this century turn into an ocean of attrition, on all sides.

Nobody's going to be escaping the lesson.

Any remnant of humanity who survives, is going to be profoundly changed by the experience of what's being set-up, these years.

_ /\ _

PS: I'm holding that real Jew is like Isaiah, with spirit-centered/anchored values,

& false "Jew" is like the biblical-legalists, or Netanyahu's ilk, with other "values"..

& real Christian is like some Christian medical-missionaries who just go live somewhere & help, letting their religion show through their devoted life,

whereas the false "Christians" are the ones who "read" the bible, then attack "woke" ( benJoseph was the "wokest" guy in the New Testament ) "socialist" ( benJoseph provided free healthcare to anyone who'd spiritually-earned it, & gave free food to thousands, right? Socialist as can be ) progressives.

While mom tried making me Catholic, when I discovered that I'd earned some Soul-memories of previous-lives, that weren't human lives, then all the Abrahamic religions were nuked, for me:

Empiricism's the only religoin that MUST lead to one's Soul, one's "kingdom of GOD, within", as benJoseph called it, one's CellOfGod.

Either empiricism works, or all Universe is just an arbitrary rigged scam, obviously, right?

Literally all you have to do, is give each police-cruiser 3 specific drones, that can:

• target the vehicle being chased, & then EMP-kill that vehicle ( an electromagnetic pulse "bomb", which blows the vehicle's circuitry: it'd need a huge capacitor, & an inductor. The drone would be destroyed if it were near, so it'd need to be a disposable thing, not the chase-drone, which would need AI
• track fleeing individuals, using biometrics ( gait, limb-geometry, iris-scan in a swoop, etc ), to get as much identifying information on 'em as possible, & keep identifying where they are, until their tracking is lost. This should have the ability to identify wireless/cellphone/BT signals, so as to identify if somebody is the same person as who entered a building a few minutes ago, and having other drones to cover the other exits, sharing information, would be intelligent/wise
• get to a crash-site, & show the EMT's what need is there, so they can be preparing before they get to the site, for that specific set-of-injuries

etc.

Once someone's caught committing a crime, then all pretence of "you have no right to track me" can eat hot lead ( gaslighting needs to die ).

There is a category difference between full-on big-brother piling onto someone caught committing a crime, vs the evil panopticon/universal-molesting/no-privacy-whatsoever world that some big corporations ( some private, some gov't ) are pushing.

Use appropriate leverage, for the context, & prevent exploiters/supremacists from exercising such leverage on entire-populations, for sake of ( what remains of ) civil-rights.

Downvote this to hell, now, obviously..

When a handful of monopolies decide that no factchecking will be seen by anybody, anymore,

and only profitable-to-their-dictatorship disinformation will be seen,

then humanity will not have any means of countering that:

it will be too late.

We are "the frog dropped into the slowly-heating pot of water".

People pretend that monopoly is "maybe" harmful, economically, but it is an existential-threat to countries, and with globalization, now to civil-rights as a valid-category.

Whether it's source is open or not,

has nothing to do with its licensing.

It's on a github repo: it's open-source.

Having an ideological-problem with people making a living off their code is independent of whether their code was honestly, actually, published, & therefore is actual open-source.

He is going to get "even" with every ecological-protection, every science, every minority-rights, every women-protection, every Ukranian, every leftist, .. everybody.

War on ALL who frustrated him, but possibly haphazard, possibly systematic.

I outright expect the Environmental Protection Agency to be either completely dismantled, or a delay ( possibly of 4 years ) before outright having artillery take its buildings out, as the US Civil War Part2 progresses.

I expect US Civil War Part2 to be live-fire, everywhere, within 4y of him gaining rule of the US.

It may take only 2y, but it will be a progression ( I hadn't understood that until recently ), and it will be for keeps.

"Getting even" is going to be his primary "need".

Against EVERYone who isn't worshipping him.

As I say, it'll be a 2-4y build, before the complete scope of his war against all other than his supremacy, unfolds completely.

Idiotic frame-of-reference:

2.5g of fentanyl could kill .. what, ALL of BC's total population??

moronic.

You limit it to number-of-doses, if you're doing that kind of thing:

something like "a person can legally carry enough drugs to use for the next 4 days" or something, with drugs of different strengths having different limits.

Same as the volume of light beer required to put a person "over the legal limit" is drastically different from the volume of alcool, right?

You have to consider what people actually will do.

They can make this decision knowing that the Dems won't commit the domestic-genocide they're committed to enabling,

knowing that it is the nonwhites & left who're going to be getting the genociding.

Political-motivation works that kind of way.

That is why I want a "political-motivation-ectomy" for civilization.

Political-motivation is cancerous.

Issue-diagrams are objective, & capable of cracking even urban-planning problems.

but who is going to force objectivity/practicality against ideology's-highjacking?

The dems won't, the left won't, the libertarians can't even understand civil-infrastructure, the "conservatives" ( privilege-conservatives aren't the only category of people who "conserve", as conservationists conserve, but are called non-conservatives.. damned newspeak bullshit )

Those judges know what they're doing.

iirc, Microsoft had some significant investment in Intel.

this is perfectly rational monopolist-cartel-protecting-monopolist-cartel behavior.

When these 2 books are combined, they can be profoundly helpful:

https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Enneagram-Discover-Who-You/dp/1939754070/

https://www.amazon.com/Take-Care-Your-Type-Enneagram-ebook/dp/B084VVB64H/

It's the 2nd book which is the most-convincing ( because the improbable-recommendations it makes are sooo damn right, based on my last half-century of experience ),

but without the 1st book, the 2nd book has much less traction in one's understanding.

2 books on one's life-process-lopsidedness which can be equally-profound, are

https://www.amazon.com/Ayurvedic-Healing-Comprehensive-David-Frawley-ebook/dp/B003TO5EF0/

( do the ingredients-list experiment:

find your metabolism/"dosha", & identify which set of ingredients would be most-harmful for you vs which would be most-pacifying for your health, & make a meal where each course is a pair of dishes, 1 maximally-aggravating, the other maximally-pacifying, & see which your own body prefers..

Mindblowingly eye-opening, that.

All the meals I'd eaten, before, had been a mixture of harming-my-health AND healing-me foods, an insane "strategy" that hadn't been working!

Now, however, for all the years since I did the experiment, my health has been subtler & better a harmony.

Let the experiment-evidence decide for you, if your metabolism is one of the fundamental-metabolisms: then it should be clear-as-day. )

and

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0028UBEVO/

Again, both books are required for proper understanding.

The Yoga book shows you the kind of way you work-with your metabolism/"dosha".

The ingredients-list in the "Ayurvedic Healing" book is sooo fundamental to my health that I simply don't go grocery shopping without it, anymore.

This book is on the life-STAGE archetypes, like shattered-by-trauma

( the pair of "cards" "The Lightning Struck Tower" and whatever the crab-sifting-memories-in-the-lake-of-memories while the "wolf" and the "dog" try to get one off one's true-path through aversions or desires )

or having to disconnect from the outer world, in order to go deep within oneself to decide something important, re one's lifepath ( the choice/love card, card-6, iirc )

https://www.amazon.com/Wisdom-Tarot-Elisabeth-Haich-ebook/dp/B0716CHXJQ/

That one book I'd recommend getting the physical book, however: the archetype-stage illustrations are not included in the ebook.

The difference between it and ALL the other "tarot" books I've ever encountered, are..

• the profound understanding in Haich
• the uncontaminated archetype, ONLY ONE archetype per state
• the interwoven symbolism really is significant.

I'm not saying to just become a believer in its symbolisms, but I definitely am saying that if you ever want to understand someone's sentience-stage, their life-state, you need to understand the stuff in that little profound book, and if any sudden change happens to someone, then that little book can help them know what they're needing to focus on, to continue living unbroken, un derailed.

It's an important psychology grounding.

Kegan & Lahey's "Immunity to Change" is on the 3 unconscious-mind development stages of adult human life, and how our unconscious-mind "fights off" growing-up/adapting, to protect dysfunction/inertia.

It's also important-as-hell for our lives.

Especially nowadays.

Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking Fast & Slow" is on the imprint-reaction mind, which I call Kahneman1, & the considered-reasoning mind, Kahneman2, and how Kahneman1 mind fights to prevent the considered-reasoning mind from having any say in anything it feels it "owns".

All ideology/prejudice imprint-reaction, left, right, religious, political, ALL of it, takes advantage of Kahneman1 mind, to try to own populations, & through them, countries/worlds.

It is the single most-important psychology book in our whole world, right now.

Communist "proletariat dictatorship" & right-wing "populist dictatorship" are both the same thing, fundamentally:

highjacking of the world for factional-supremacism, through Kahneman1 mind's mechanisms.

I stop here, as of the thousands of books I've dug into, those are the most important ones for profound understanding.

the healthiest alarm-clock I know-of is simply to have 2 lamps on wall-plug timers, such that the warm-white one comes on 1st, then say 5mins later, the daylight one comes on.

Given how the beginning of sunshine changes through the year, you have to change these timers every couple of weeks, or 1/2-month, but that's a small price to pay for quiet, biochemistry-altering waking up that actually works properly.

Not an app, but it is an alarm-clock, and it wakes one up well, using the very skin-light-sensing system we are evolved to be using, instead of using some noisemaker, as "normal" alarm-clocks do.

AndroOffice, or whatever it's called, is a port of LibreOffice to Android.

It's a little cumbersome ( use it on a big tablet, not on a little phone ), but it's got the capability that nothing-else has.

I agree with people who hate the UI, on mobile the desktop UI's .. not a wise choice..

.. but if you're using a bluetooth keyboard, it's much better.

If you want real spreadsheets, it seems the best option around.

I'm presuming its Word equivalency is similar.

I've tried multiple alternatives for spreadsheets, & for me, nothing else came close.

Now, however, I think that using Julia programming, instead of spreadsheets, would make everything in the whole world work better.

: P

Reliability's kinda high on my priority-list.

Try Samsung.

Nowadays I can't imagine using SATA for anything but archival storage ( get the fastest NVMe you can for your operating-system, and be stunned by how much quicker your machine is ).

Last time I was digging into stats, the reliability-rate for Samsung devices was much higher than that of Western Digital,

and the off-brands .. often are a bit of a bad-joke, for reliability ( Adata & Kingston, I'm looking at you, and will never trust such scum again ).

just my experience/opinion, is all.

No, tilt-shift doesn't have any bearing on whether it's focal-length is high-enough to make the magnification 1:1..

hth!

China knows the Republicans are going to gut NATO,

China doesn't care,

China is committed to breaking the West's dominion, which is why it's making Russia into its vassal-state, totally-dependent-on-China, but with accountability/responsibility not having any direct-line into China, in the 1st place..

Once Trump's finished destroying the US, then .. then the real action will begin, militarily.

Give that about 1 dozen, or less, years, to occur.

ContinuousHammerfall's when the NATO-allied countries have been gutted, bankrupted, torn-apart through "populist dictatorship", etc, and suddenly the triple-alliance throws EVERYthing they've got against us, to break our capability...

Between now & then should be 2 more stages:

economic-collapse, which Trump uses to gain & secure dictatorship,

& the butchering of NATO & the West, economically, which should last .. roughly 7 or 8 years, or so.

Once those're done, then the WW3 tantrum/pogrom can begin.

V. S. Ramachandran's "Phantoms in the Brain" book had a blindsight patient, many years ago ( he's a neuro-researcher ).

He handed her an envelope, & asked her to put it in a mailbox ( which I think he held, at some angle, in some semi-random location, before her ), and she did, automatically.

He said she was absolutely dead blind, but could probably drive, without hitting any obstacles, or do archery, iirc..

SHE couldn't see, but something in her unconscious-mind could see.

He called that something "the zombie".

Interesting book, iirc ( it's been a looong time since I read that one ).

Bullshit.

One bit of research discovered that introverts prefer quiet, so as to concentrate on work, whereas extraverts preferred music, to distract them from the work they were doing.

As Nick Yee, if I remember his name right, pointed out in one of his talks on yt, look up Gamer Motivations GDC ( I think it was GDC ), but he did research into gamer motivations, and in one of his talks he shows us the difference between the fake Myers-Briggs 2-bell-curves ( 1 bell-curve for introverts, another for extraverts ), then he explains that all the research has shown there's really only 1 bell-curve, so "ambivert" is an artifact of the fake science of the false-dichotomy that Myers-Briggs pushes.

I'm hard-line introvert: I'd rather be executed honestly, than have to endure what extraverts want.

Jung was right, in that it's significant, but it isn't what Myers-Briggs pretends it is.

It is a fundamental thing, where introverts are damaged by social-interaction amounts that feed extraverts.

I can't remember who it was who explained that you can take a stuffed-animal with a bell on it, or something, & jiggle it above a baby, & some babies will, after awhile, become agitated/crying/freaking-out/etc...

Those are statistically-likely to be introverts: you crossed their threshold.

The ones who like the endless-stimulation? extraverts.

Finding ANY predictor which works from babies to entire-lives, & has statistical-significance, is important evidence.

That may have been in Nick Yee's video, too, or some other, I've no idea ( been studying mind for decades: it's all a mishmosh in my memory, now )

Anyways, cheers, eh?

_ /\ _

That only remains true until the Republicans somehow rig Trump to be president/dictator of the US:

then he ditches NATO, & backs the Kremlin, who have been backing him for decades.

Once the entire geopolitical-table has been tossed on its edge, then the whole game's rules are very very different.

Wait & see.

Read the linked-to article:

Sesame was aquired with Nova Launcher.

They're both part of the analytics-tentacles company, now.
