Good news, I'm on my way back from nan Tien institute in Wollongong, where this is the basic philosophy everyone agrees on.

Thanks dan, I learnt from your thread. How about this:

Christofascists teaming up with Judeofascists to wipe out Islamofascists.

gotta murder the *right* people

A Christofascist theocracy teaming up with a Judeofascist theocracy to wipe out an Islamofascist theocracy.

Consciousness is the organic property of awareness that grows in relationship with sense contact, perception, intentionality, and other mental and physical dimensions of the dynamic, sensitive network that we call a person.

My guess: it's being run directly by the Russian mob. They're well established by now, enjoy Trump's protection, and avoid loose canons like Epstein. Drop the middle man, ship girls straight to clients.

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

From the study: “… large and significant acceleration of global warming, regardless which statistical method is used … global temperature has departed from its previous path since around 2015 … In the current political climate, warming may continue its fast pace or even accelerate further.”

I had an apparently intelligent person tell me that no-one knew how semiconductors came to be and it was, in fact aliens. I managed to refute their argument through the sophisticated means of getting them to read the Wikipedia page.

Well it's arguable!

I dunno if this helps, but the Buddha talked of consciousness as a "seed" that is "planted" and "grows". 🎋

The US invasion of Iran is the most appalling use of force I have seen in my lifetime. It has, incredibly, even less justification than the Russian invasion of Ukraine or Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Every death of innocents is a murder. Armed forces should be refusing orders.

It's horrifying to see US politicians and pundits evoke the 6 US soldiers killed in their unprovoked war of aggression, while ignoring the 1000s of Iranians killed. It assumes that Americans only care about American lives. Which is evil, obviously.

i'm sorry what happened w Knuth?

Thanks so much. Snopes doing the heavy lifting as always.

tl;dr: the claims are from a single source (MRFF) and have not been independently corroborated, but there's no contrary evidence.

Yep. It's truly astonishing how much of culture in general is designed to elevate violent, impulsive young men into responsible adults, starting with the hero myth.

'For What Sin Was She Killed?': Iran After 165 Innocent Girls Laid To Rest In Little Graves After US-Israel Attack On School

Iran’s kids.

When you assume that your own people care only about household expenses, and the lives of a handful of your own soldiers, and not the thousands of innocents your country is killing, you are assuming your own people are evil.

Perhaps you are right. Or perhaps it is, after all, just projection.

May I ask where?

People are born on the earth and belong only to the earth.

Nations are conventions people invent for organizing themselves.

Nice. I use Source Serif a lot.

Sure.

“AI is a technology that will allow decision makers, and anyone in that chain, to improve the productivity and efficiency of what they do. It’s a way of synthesising data at a much faster pace that is helpful to decision makers.”

As a Buddhist monk, meditator, and teacher of thirty years; a historical scholar of Buddhism; and translator of early Buddhist texts I can assure you, The Guardian, no, there is not.

The article assumes that because someone works for XYZ Uni we should listen to them. I'm just flipping that: when institutions get a gazillion dollars from AI and then shill on behalf of AI, why should we listen to them? If someone's criticizing AI, good on 'em, but that's not what's happening here.

Funding RUSI is a registered charity and non-partisan think tank, funding itself independently.

Royal United Services Institute is a conservative defense thinktank, whose "independent funding" includes major donors Google and Palantir.

AI is so expensive that no institute can "research" AI without money from AI companies.
