Numbers and Statistics quite useless *and very dangerous* without context or evidence you can touch/really verify though more neutral people/agency?

Especially from those who give it that we already know manipulate or profit even from the fuck-ups or deliberate down-turns.

Knowing...
● ...how people calculate(d) it, :check
● ...how their own meaning of terms :check
● ...if transparency exists :check
● ...being able yourself to investigate... :check or that if many others can investigate / verify and therefore increase our colllective trust (I.E monopoly or 1 source that is unverifiable is bad/dangerous to all).

THEREFORE... MODERN NUMBERS TODAY (IF THEY DON'T MEET ABOVE REQUIREMENTS) ARE ALREADY HIGHLY AT RISK (and just because 'someone' said so).

I THINK THIS RENDERS MOST STATS AS DELIBERATE HUMAN ERROR / COVER-UPS BY NATURE OF NOT BEING CLEAR AT ALL and actually a tool (masquerading as a legitimate tool)

Wouldn't be so bad if people didn't base much of their on others and worked toward the :check list above also at the same time at least.

Russia just another America? (Or vice versa?)

"Russia" as a word for me is maybe just another "America". The word is the basic existence of a large entity wanting to taking over.

Just the word "Russia" is what I mean mostly which can be interchangeable with almost any large entity (or 'power' in the world).

For example, if I hear Russia is invading America then it could be heard by me as:

- America is invading America
Or
- Russia is invading Russia

Not much difference and I almost wouldn't be surprised if Russia's mask was taken off like in a movie and it was America* all along.

Or vice versa.

Same-ish #war with same-ish people do I nd war on same-ish people.

* America could be any of the colony powers I guess

#war #flags

Perfect for humans is accepting Imperfections

Perfection should be based on *imperfections of humans*
(not excluding them when perfecting things or just accepting them as learning process not punishing etc)

Perfect things don't work for humanity or are unrealistic and always catch up in responsibility etc if done too long without them
... in the end by any efficiency gained etc if not human orientated and BASED ON IMPERFECTION to include humans progressively as they learn in world

What is "small talk" to you? Any tips?

Is "small talk" supposed to be nothing big as expression / no big topics ? (Is it all not big or meaningful to either? ). What's safe?

Capitalism's motto and practice could be:

"Give life by giving them debt"

-----------------

Variations:

They give life today by giving us increasingly more debt tomorrow.

"Give them life (for a while) by giving them debt (forever)"

#Capitalism $#banks
$Capitalism $banks

Debt accumulated becomes 'more' of a negative number which translates to the human population to mean death or energy consumption to pay it back ... when this much % profit and cheating people is not actually needed all the time.

Some #Judo moves...
"science of balance" (ok i just made that up!)

Have a go at guessing them (I didn't know most of them so not expecting 100% )

Might be good to compare notes after as some drawings might look the same as another move.

Sorry if numbers and pictures are not clear...

looks good as a picture - I had it while offline but half the challenge is to find which number is what... and then the move!

(I guess I could edit the pic at some point maybe with answers...)

Either way a bit of eye candy or homework 😆😂😓.

Add you own pics or Links related

(I use a printout grid to compare positions but maybe there is something more "new-tech" preferably an offline app wow never thought of that a Judo app!)

FEELINGS AS A MATERIAL TO TRANSFORM PEOPLE/ALL LIFE...

This "feeling thing" is 100% a real material I believe. One that systems forget or ignore deliberately as the designers prefer 'efficiency' (which turns out not to be when all are unhappy) or for they own agendas... Some because computers are binary based but still meetings and feelings could be the human protocol involved rather than firgotten/cut out...

Largely now, maybe even losing / lost ability on how to handle feelings of almost any kind.

As usual in any depth of relationship its to be expected so to nit have that is teally crazy / unhelpful (to humans).

Strengthening / re-enforcing a relationship is key in everything and don't assume having the opposite extreme but just more feelings 'processed' as part of living.

@MeidasTouch Democracy and what you think it as / what do you mean?

I was wondering about the word democracy and what you mean / assume if you think we are in this environment now.

I'm thinking were not in Democracy so much more than aesthetic front shop for much of the same before (better coverups maybe) so I'll glad to hear how you value this now as a democracy more than posing or layering what people must do or de-facto only have the option in life at hands of people who only care/talk about money or financial things!

Thanks and some great replies I'll get through on this post...

"Thinking Different" via list of similar words to literally think different about thinking itself and as main part of doing things !...

'world building' 'fantasy' dreaming
'thinking outside of the box'
'ping-ponging' together
'fantasy futurism'
lucid dreaming

This means a thread or conversayion.where others continue from the last added comments to change the world again into something else!

"Like a bike powered world ... but the metal needed come from throwing people into a volcano "
(maybe something even more unreal)

And people can add to that, maybe with more detail (2/3 lines). Feel free in this thread.

I'm happy to speculate any types of the above list towards better or different world as scenario of mixing real /less real / unreal with serious / less serious / fun stuff...
and then see what works even in fantasy land or a " long way round " way.

Anything that dreams can tell us or wild long shots can get an anchor point to something that can make better from this over- sterilised matrix world! Yipiii !

TO OPT-OUT OF PARTS OF SOCIETY SHOULD BE AN OPTION !

(Opting out while still participating in the wanted things. Not opting out of everything as a result of only "1 way or the highway")

MOSTLY ULTIMATUMS / HIGHLY CONDITIONAL GIVING IN THINGS OR NO OPTION IS BY DESIGN IS BAD / UNWANTED BY INDIVIDUALS.

This includes the unsaid, deliberate inaction or maligned designed that is also de-facto preventing people from growing or fixing things or having spaces to get answers.

DISCLAIMER:
I appreciate some know this but it's a principle worth remembering / nailing everywhere ...while I think having sub-options and communication improvements to consider anything that might be immovable at least *towards* something better and wanted.

Even on individual level we dont know hiw to interact or "pay back" without money-masters in between. Or simply it's for your own gain like thise above you to also do the same as to that extent "it works".
How you see others too is structurally dictated as a must.
(almost nothing else as to the spirit and adding choices for the people or improvement). A tight enforced matrix.
Some only embrace this to the further detriment because without a soul or better intention everything becomeso empty and meaningless.

Finally I can die happy having reached it 2 short sentences.

Finance is a sort of Fascism.

Not worth relying on totally for human improvement.

WAR WITHOUT IMPROVING PEOPLE'S MENTALITY & UNDERSTANDING = MORE WAR

As shortest reply "Sure but imagine that's what the other side is saying also, so all you get IS war."

There is a lot of error that is possible in fighting for others (not just speaking for others which also can lead to mistakes though lesser perhaps).

An example is seeing a situation your wife or husband is in and reacting... that's error. And though you might be in the right it's about a better way.
First see and clarify THEN ACT.
My point is you may end up ONLY WITH ACTION AND NOT MUCH ELSE.
ACTION-MAN STYLE FOREVER WARS.

There is a weak kind of 'empty hand' or 'empty fist' kind of approach which seeks not to make further error from further action (so not 0 action but not just monotone stuff on top of existing errors (of which there are man and need sorting first) which is hard but must swallow (pride or emotions) as a level ABOVE from being brave and reacting by force...by withstanding it towards a MORE long term solution (not just allowing leaders to fight over and over but able to reason amongst your own population. It seems eithout reason AND reasoning power some things will ONLY seek to take over you again and again, though not just through direct force, economic and other warfare... but everything without more the mentality or principles I mention.
So my premise might depend on a few tough things and how long term or communicative/ sympathetic the future is if you know 'civilised' barbaric replacements (that we have now) are almost even worse mixing aesthetic nice front shops to the same thing unto it's own population as we go to jobs providing economic leverage (tax and bank %'s that go towards all these things as a vicious circle spinning even faster) reinforcing others (maybe general from global north to global south or West to East etc and that classic war).

So know you know a bit more what I'm heading for. Your "kind'' of words can get you/us into more trouble when it's not just clear life or death, but the slow siphoning of a patients blood over centuries which in my eyes is worse for planet, people and ethics under what is not as clear as direct war and not even giving chance to something better.

More 'normalised' totalitarian financial fascism (even if it just about feeds us by starving others or displaces all these problems) is not the way.

I believe we are still under slavery only a bit more luxurious as getting the loot and dividends from abroad from pirates if various kinds and people's own thinking "ah yeah this is normal and totally don't see problem living lifestyle I am and surely it's not by bad design". I aim for adjusting the balance / material-ethical justice via better communication within peers or whoever will listen while not jumping into another war of which is just another and another, almost all the same or colours of uniform different.

Force (and the whole banking that supplies it + industry and tech that ends up aimed on it's domestic people (after big war like panopticon stuff) + lack of understanding of war by people or constant manipulation to attack...) doesn't end up much better.

And I'm not saying there is a option other than death but the above paragraph is not furthering good so you really might have to use your brain and everyone else's to avoid more of the same. This is why partially nonviolence works not as inaction BUT FOCUS ON EDUCATION / UNDOING WAR MMENTALITIES.

A kind of heart vs muscle to which I agree in certain orders, including both alternating however the whole deliberate product of war and who funds it and why sadly makes us in onion skins of illusion about the use of it and indeed furthering things meaning only more of the same if not worse because still we the people don't have the decisions, intelligence, sympathy for mankind while being firm etc.... the people are easily lead into more and mostly banks (which can fund both sides) and Tech and everyone are playing themselves for fools/not being effective in what I aim for in the mind not to end up in the very same games with someone else in a variety of modern ways which is very clever and may only result in death as it's matrix.

I believe we also came from a false 'turbo' period where we got x3 global population in perhaps 80 years. That can't be sustained without more mind over matter and ends up being undone/straightened as part of planet/climate/material/economic/etc justice so there are many things you can't cheat, only delay.

ANTI-WARs as meaning.
Lots of confusion possible from the very beginning if not defined possibly to the utmost detail or end branches of each thought, otherwise one is left guessing.

I wonder if I would fight back at all since I consider it all War from beginning (the harsh extraction and mental/physical suffering even if diluted or through your population to do the same) so inside all these umbrellas of war I ask myself if I would even bother to fight back and let someone finish me almost mercifully which it might not be or harsh cold prison (which could mean living in general today not just another regime trying to take over). A real opt out in a moment.

Today, the main parts of individual and human respect seem less existent and even more dangerous when mixed and profited from / people milked of their very existence barely alive or holding any spirit just working inside one continually encroaching efficiency rules and ruling system.

So in short
Fight your own people or fight others first or not to fight / not let them get to you / some other way perhaps slower and distancing... just one of the many ways to say it I guess...
