Here a man that understands.
We actually live in a really sick situation because the world runs on an abstraction of power that can be unreasonably accumulated into a central power.
If we were smart, our politicians would be monks who live in austerity, instead we set up a system designed to promote wealthy narcissists.
I didn't say get rid of the free market or trade or private property. I just suggested that the abstraction in the form of money is corrupting and bad and people get defensive.
People want to be rich. They want to live like kings, which requires underpaid servants. They don't understand the luxury we already have in the first world. They think we're poor.
We're actually spoiled.
In a shallow context yes. Sayings typically have deeper meanings.
Money is an abstraction of value/power
What is another thing we know about the nature of man? That he is corruptable.
What corrupts man? Power and/or greed.
You have covered the greed aspect of money in your statement.
You haven't covered the power aspect.
The useful abstraction "money" allowed people to accumulate godlike levels of power.
Imagine being able to have a mountain relocated because you want to and you have the money to pay to have it done. Imagine what that does to your head.
You don't need "fuck you money" you need "fuck you to money"
We need to go back to basics. The Bible was right. Love of money is the root of evil.
"In God we trust" is at least polytheist compatible.
At least they aren't posting slander about hell.
Money doesn't have to be usury, money can be positive resources just as easily. It's just that we've chosen to base the money system on the negative part of the number line.
Governer Ron DeSantis for prime minister of Canada please.
If you listen to the call and the way Paul was handling David on and through the call, you'd get it.
He was holding a drink because David made him.
He was smiling because the police showed up and he felt safe.
He was holding the hammer the entire time and the instant he lost hold of it, David tried to kill him.
I don't know what's strange.
Actually this is a good idea, when they start handing out free building materials to rioters, why do we let the rioters get them first?
Fuck that, we could find some legitimate and constructive uses for those bricks. Don't need a truck, cut the tape and load them up by hand.
A little hand labour is nothing for some good bricks.
I, for one, want to build backyard kilns for metal melting and ceramics.
If they're just going to give them away to destroy lives and businesses, we might as well we have them.
These people suck.
My grandfather is Indian and was raised Hindu in Trinidad and Tobago. She lived as an indentured servant at a family members house until they decided to marry her off.
She was friends with the man, but neither of them wanted to marry, so she moved to Canada.
I'm mixed race and actually have a direct relative who took part in raising me who lived as a slave and can tell me stories of what it was like to live as a slave.
My grandma doesn't hate white people, funny enough she's doesn't like black people because all the slaver pirates from Brazil were black.
Okay, real talk.
These were introduced in Canada in the early 2000s in every school.
Our packs are green, there's at least two per school and they are kept in the principals office instead of the gymnasium.
The justification for it was that heart attacks are super rare and yet, they still happen sometimes, better safe than sorry.
I still believe every school should have at least one.
Funny thing. They keep drawing the devil as ugly. Not helpful.
How can people identify the devil if they expect him to look ugly?
That's part of the devil's trick. He comes to you like a golden angel of light with pleasing ideas and a silver tongue.
He gives you false visions, and delusions of grandeur.
He inflates your ego. Makes you think he's your friend, your guardian.
He tries to make you a narcissistic psychopath.
No, the devil is one of the most beautiful creatures you will ever have the displeasure of looking at right before his followers rape, torture, eat then kill you... In that order.
Lucky for you, you have to a conscience.
Not everyone listens to it.
If you do listen, that's God.
Learning to ignore your conscience is satanic.
Yeah, so I watched the videos and listened to 911 call. If David was on purpose, I guarantee you that Paul wasn't in on it.
That was real emotion and real existential fear. Paul was not in on it if it was staged.
I'm sorry, I can't let my feelings about the fact that Paul and Nancy are assholes cloud the fact that Paul is a victim in this specific circumstance.
The problem is that there's hand signs and then there's legitimate common ways humans hold their hands together that people keep calling hand signs.
I weave my fingers and touch my fingertips all the time. I've done it my while life as far back as I can remember.
I thought pizzagate was a bunch of internet crazies back in 2019, I'm hardly Illuminati
Never said it was, I'll respond again later if I find the Q post
Its on the Q map
How about the fact that we can not filter birth control and other various medications from waste water and the fact that they are made of relatively stable compounds?
If people actually understood what makes it into the environment from various pharmaceuticals and industries, they'd be shut down tomorrow.
I'm an instrumentation and controls engineer, I design and calibrate equipment that measures the effluent concentrations and levels sand did so at a factory that I worked at.
Let me tell you something:
A CEO will absolutely poison a river upstream and happily go fishing downstream, they wear glasses with lenses made of paper money, they see about as far as their own nose.
I've lost trust...
I don't think you understand what at what level people can be useful idiots. Even wise King Solomon fell pray to iniquity.
Isn't possible that he was a usefull idiot?
Like, when it comes to the shadowy people, most of them are useful idiots. There are usually only a small hadfull of puppet masters and pupeteers compared to all the lackies.
Most of the lackies don't even understand that they are lackies.
Which part seems to clarify my criticism of his argument about luminosity and distance? Do you have timestamp?
It's because they are arrogant
There's a great story from my favorite electrical engineering professor, Dr Donald Scott, where he is at the question period of a lecture on electric sun theory.
An older astronomer was getting frustrated with everything he was suggesting and he heckled him. The stupid, self-unaware fuck actually said "yes, we all know there is electricity in space, but it doesn't do anything"
This is why this all sounds like bullshit to you and half the theories don't make sense.
It's because they actually don't make sense they have decided that 3 out of 4 of the fundamental forces are not important to astronomy.
Makes sense now right, lol
So I did that...
David gave a particularly interesting example that I'd like to comment on:
He stated that due to the distance to and from stars as presented by the standard model that a star would not be bright enough to reach earth.
He insisted that it was a mathematical fact that the nearest star would not be visible at the distances that astronomers suggest.
So I checked because I'm an instrumentation and controls engineer and measuring light is something I do.
So a human eye can see a candle from 1.6 miles away and a candle gives off ~12 lumens of light.
Luminosity is measured from 2 feet away and a mile is 5280 feet. 1.6 miles is 8448 feet. So a human can see a canle in the night from 8448 feet away through atmosphere at see level. At that distance the luminosity from the candle is 13^(1/log2(8448)) - 1 = 0.21 lumens
now the sun is 35,730,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 lumens according to astronomical estimations based on the amount of light hitting earth. So how far would the sun have to be in order to be an equvalent brightness to a candle, through atmosphere at sea level?
Let's do math, we can reverse the formula with the approprate variables 35,730,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,001^(1/log2(x))-1 = 0.021 x = 6.707 x 10^103 feet That's 1.27 x 10 ^ 100 miles
the speed of light is 1.86 x 10^5 miles per second (1 light second) or 5.88 x 10^9 miles per year (1 light year)
1.27 X 10^100 / 5.88 x 10^9 = 2.16 x 10^90
That means that the sun will be apparantly brighter than a candle out to a distance of 2.16 x 10^90 light years.
Modern cosmology says the nearest star is only 5 light years away Modern cosmology says the nearest galaxy is only 2.5 X 10^5 light years away Modern cosmology says the amount of universe we can see with our telescopes so far only reaches out to 4.86 X 10^10 light years.
The sun will be appear to be brighter than a candle for a distance greater than the total distance light could have travelled since it's birth.
The sun will be brighter than a candle for so long that 10 new stars will live and die using material from the sun before that light thins enough to be outdone by a candle.
David doesn't do math.
He insists and that's about it.
I'm not trying to argue, I'm just curious, what is your take on this passage then:
"In olden times there were spawned great monsters and beasts in fearful form, with frightful gnashing teeth and long ripping claws; an elephant was but a cat in comparison with them. Then, because of heavenly rebellion and turmoil, and the terror overwhelming the hearts of men, The Great One hardened the face of the land, which had become unstable, and the beasts were changed to stone. This was beforetimes, when the Destroyer still slumbered in the upper vaults of Heaven."
I know you probably don't think any of it is true, but if it's not refering to dinosaurs, what's your theory?
That's resonable and makes sense.
There's a passage in the bible where it is stated: "Those who know will know the sound of my voice" or something to that extent that I can't remember exactly in the moment.
I really feal that. There are section of the bible that when I read It, I feel in my heart that I'm reading true and valid history and then, in other sections, it feels wrong in my soul. Same for the Kolbrin.
Neither text is perfect or complete, and I doubt any religious text is.
I'm just particularly excited about this one right now because it was a wonderful read and it was filled with things that, in my mind, have no place being in a 2,500 year old document based on accepted history.
That's the point... The issue is that the money is corrupting and what you're describing do with it is a fairy tail.
It would be nice if people worked that way but man is corruptible.
Find me the billionaire philanthropist who lives in austerity and gives everything in excess to charity.
Then tell me what he is attoning for.
We don't live in a world of saints, we live in a world of men.
