Mfs still subscribe to inflation theory from 200 years ago smh…

Money is printed in accordance to inflation, among other things, but it’s not the cause. Ffs. The US printed trillions during and after the 2008 crash and there was barely any inflation then.

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.

A dictatorship that passed a new constitution, the most progressive and advanced constitution ever in the world, by popular vote? They literally voted for their new constitution, which enshrines rights to LGBTQ minorities, human rights etc.

What the fuck can you say about your constitution? It’s practically been the SAME over 200 years, and it was written by a bunch of racist slave owning fucks!

Honestly……

I’d say it’s more the influence of the industrialist class and the oil barons tbh.

Like for example, modern medicine is also extremely based on petroleum and it’s extremely dependent on the oil industry. This is a manufactured end caused by the oil barons (you can google “How Big Oil Conquered The World James Corbett” for more details).

But for transport, the early automobile corporations literally bought the streetcars in all the major cities and just dismantled them. They lobbied to stop existing subway projects, and all future projects that came to be for rail etc. For a modern example see Elon Musk and his Hyperloop almost killing California’s high-speed rail project.

All in all, the US has been controlled by old-money, big industrialists and Wall Street since forever. If you want to know why something happens, just follow the money. Everything has happened according to their interests.

Ethnic displacement, genocide. They want the Gazans to storm the Egyptian border and gtfo forever. This has always been their objective.

Man if that’s what you got from what I said, idk what to tell you.

I sure hope no one becomes a fascist after materially studying and analysing history. And if they have any shred of empathy as well of course.

I didn’t say anything about what the critique was…. I did make a typo saying libertarian socialist German communes. But I tried writing libertarian socialist German communists, which doesn’t make sense either, but the meaning was libertarian socialist Germans, or libertarian German communists.

In any case, I never said it was the main point of the text either…..

Nobody said he was… that is not the point.

Would you be really shocked if “tankies” agreed the state sucks? They are… gasp… communists after all no? And communism is stateless, moneyless and classless, right?

Like even “tankies” are anti-statists… they just disagree with people like you that we can reach communism without authoritarian revolution, creating a dictatorship of the proletariat, and first transitioning to socialism. And that doesn’t mean they agree the revolution and the proletariat dictatorship will be like in the USSR, Cuba, China etc.

Marxists-Leninists and Maoists understand socialism will look different everywhere it comes, and will adapt to the culture and expectations of the working class of those places… only anti-communist leftists make the mistake of thinking “tankies” idolise the USSR or China. That what they want is an exact repeat of the Bolshevik Revolution…

Basically they are about (specially Blackshirts and Reds) how “libertarian” socialist experiments all failed, and were ultimately destroyed by national and international bourgeoisie.

I think Critique of the Gotha Program by Marx is much better than the Communist Manifesto, as it’s also a critique of the libertarian socialist Germans.

Like, if you want to get very sad, read about the politicides in Indonesia, Korea, South America etc. Communists (and I include anarchists, libertarians socialists, democratic socialists etc. here) have to organize in strong movements to survive.

All communist experiments that lasted more than 1 years were either MLs or Maoists.

We really should look at this and try to learn from it. It’s a fact, it’s just something that has happened.

We have to understand why democratic socialism is vulnerable to being exterminated, and why ML and Maoism aren’t.

Those would be the PIE that entered Europe, so after they split from the PIE that entered Iran and India (the Indo-Iranians).

PIE was the language (or languages) the proto-indo-European peoples spoke during their processes of migration into Europe, the Middle East and South Asia (around 6-4k years ago).

So most of the languages from those regions, from Hindi, to Persian, to Greek and English are all PIE, as these are all descendants from the PIE peoples.

We can reconstruct it by analysing these modern languages, their recent ancestors etc. and compare them.

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?

The CIA in fact, was born from alliances made between nascent “intelligence” agencies and crime organizations.

There is a great channel on YouTube that is doing a series on the origins of the CIA. EyesWideShut is the name of the channel.

I highly recommend it. It shows clearly how corrupt and criminal it was from the start.

Also very important to remember, the changes MLK fought for only came about after he was murdered by the CIA and there were massive riots, extremely violent in some cases.

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.

Here https://youtu.be/bq6NufaDR_w

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.
