I mean f**k Biden and his gang of grooming, Marxist circus freaks but the problem isn’t politicians, it’s us. It’s voting to have them in the first place

Don't worry--outside of local measures, voting is just for show anyway. And what a show it is...

Totally. An illusion given to the sheeple to illicit a sense of power and control in the ruler / dictator system.
Satchel Page said “ give a man bread in a circus and keep him docile.”

The bread is the “voting” system, the circus is a common enemy in far away lands that need merican style “democracy” (war) new gadgets (consumerism/materialism), sports, Epstein Islands etc etc.

If the discontent weren’t diverted into various circuses people would say “f**k you, *f**k this. We’re done with wars, taxes, building permits for land and homes we “own” etc.

It’s an elaborate system indeed. Impressive even starting in kindergarten with separatist ideas, like patriotism and nationalism.
People always say “well we need government, what would we do?”
Not knowing that We the people ARE the government not the 1% of the money holders deciding what war is next, what new propaganda will be used etc.
it’s all a giant virus, a plandemic of mine control.

If we could get all the legs moving in the same direction perhaps. As it stands it's closer to a couple of 3-year olds way past naptime playing tug-of-war with their favorite toy, and even that ignores everyone who refuses to wear either gang's colors.

I frequently hear the expression "everything's going to offend someone". Applying this to government suggests every form it takes will be sighted in the scopes of one demographic or another. There's no way to please everyone, especially when both main parties have essentually made a platform out of "yo, f**k that other guy".

As far as I'm concerned, the system we have is the system we deserve.

I don’t disagree. I’ve come to believe that the answer is, there is no answer. Everything is happening of itself. It’s all oneness getting to know itself and the only real answer is what the zen man said:
Let go
Let go
Let go

Nothing is required, but total and complete surrender to everything as it is. Something with which I am capable, but often deny such capabilities on a regular basis. I was at one time a Borg worst nightmare.

I used to think that if things could be any other way, they would, but such a perspective is just retroactive fatalism. I do remain convinced that the only obligation existence places on us is to exist. The truism "nothing is certain but death and taxes" is half right. A cursory glance at the mega rich illustrates the fallacy of the taxes part.

We are each born owing a death, and literally everything else in the interceding time between those events is up for grabs.

Retroactive fatalism. Lol interesting. I believe it’s an irrefutable truth that everything is exactly the way it should be, and if it were supposed to be different, it would be.
One would have to believe in free Will, which I do not.

I can choose what I will do, but I cannot choose what I will choose right?
Also me: I believe this is a good weekend for therapeutic use of psychedelics

😏

Free-will is a half-truth, but that still makes it half true. If volition isn't a thing then neither is morality, and the last thing all the knuckleheads out there need is another excuse to act like wanton sociopaths.

People often think understanding no free will would cause an outbreak of the more than usual insanity people suffer from like war, greed, hatred, assaults etc.

Actually the opposite is true.
Thus is a great video on it by one of my favorite physics phreaks 😁

I kind of choked on that food for thought, although it did prompt me to refine my working meaning of free will to the 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 of free will. Like "love", the term "free will" is rather nebulous. It obviously doesn't include comic-book super-powers, but even if the universe is wholly deterministic, we still have the appearance of free-will to reconcile.

The person in the video can give themself a hearty pat on the back, but abstruse metaphysics and quantum mechanics aside, the term "free will" (like "consciousness" and "time") exists to explain an apparent phenomenon. What exactly that appearance is rooted in is rather moot as it changes nothing, and trying to wrest it away amounts to a subversion of language. If we didn't have the apparent phenomenon of choice to define, quantify and communicate, we wouldn't need the language to describe it. So, the existence of the term "free will" in our lexicon is proof enough of the appearance of the phenomenon.

I typically thrill over philosophy, but this isn't just not actionable--it's an intellectual tar-pit. Reminds me of the basilisk thought experiment some guy came up with. Not rubbish exactly...something more akin to an answer in search of a problem. But hey, she can't help usurping the means to meaning any more than its authors could help scribing it in the first place.

I guess hearing her repeat the same 2 things over and over for 11 minutes reminded me of my petulant, pedantic ass crowing about how "anyone who knows anything knows that things are the way they are because they couldn't be any other way", and 19 year old me embarrasses the piss out of present day me.

Great response. I expected nothing less. I agree on all points, especially, but not limited to the fact that no matter what we “think” nothing changes.
Everything is as it is. Perceptually, I can experience things differently just based on a Perceptually, I can experience things differently, just based on a different point of you, but nothing has actually changed other than my perception of it. Everything is what it appears AS, although nothing is what it appears to BE.
Any deep meditation, or for a faster route, ingestion of psychedelics can point that out. 😁
Therapeutic use of psychedelics has changed me from a 40 year suicidal nightmare to somebody who can get along with himself more often than not.

A thing can only ever be at self otherwise we’re talking about something else. Therefore, change is perceptual not actual.
Who knows dear brother.
This is because that is, I am because you, we all are because it is.
IS-ness is the business Mooji Baba says.

Oh how I love my non dual teachers.

Tat Tvam Asi

My spiritual life and understanding of it, or lack there of as the case may be, helps me get along in this world.

Before my current 9 years of continuous sobriety was alcohol, drugs and other self injurious behaviors.
Glad that’s over. Lol

Häs Joe Hitler been voted out?

I need to know in case he won

To start a revolution in Virginia if he won
