@gtconway3d It’s a mistake to attribute these kinds of statements (views, policies, ideas, beliefs) to the intellect/knowledge of officials (also: pundits, contributors, advisors, appointees). A baited response to a decades old strategy that obscures willful ignorance/nefarious intent.
@ProjectLincoln Regard for Power, over & for the Governed — legitimized from Revolution, glorified by Tradition & accessible through Institutions.
That said, Party has fractured virtue, Oldness (age) has allowed treachery, & Grandness has diminished [against forces hungrier for power].
@RUOmism With that monetary ‘freedom,’ as well as the resources & access, one could more fully commit to a ‘philosopher’s life.’ I’d consider advancing humanity/technology/Earth beyond consumerism, a pivotal pursuit; also, deepening the knowledge of mind/consciousness/existence.
@RUOmism We are the narrator, players & audience, of our own conscious-awareness of experience... all perspectives, are always available - deepening our access, is learning — expanding our access, is loving/being loved.
@iamstephenwest Also,
Great shows - personable/friendly presentation & earnestness in sharing philosophic #enlightenment (occasional ‘sophic’ pitfalls) each episode. Philosophizing is far more prescient in experience/life; & albeit pretentious-ish, a lovely recasting of ‘too-much/overthinking’
@iamstephenwest@RUOmism A weird & new feeling; but then, it gets easier... probably... I think...
Remembering that sociopaths are intelligent & charismatic, helps quite a bit — then, just focus on your being charismatic, until the worry is gone... forget the first part, run from the truth 🥸
@iamstephenwest Describes Kant’s experience, & his theory postulating different realties... an individuals reality in/among the real reality — that would suggest an infinite number of realties-individuals.
I think I’m remembering that from the Kant series.

An individuals ability to ‘forget,’ lies between being a ‘bug’ &/or ‘feature,’ of how the mind works.

@RUOmism Happiness must be pursued; & continually ‘added to’... in doing, the mind is becomes evermore open—vulnerable. Sadness relates to something familiar; in resolution, the mind is led back to itself — &, if done right, a sense of rest/contentment (or else, distraction).
@RUOmism Yea; As well as the influence of their environment (+ experience, in some species). Humanity is regulated & influenced in many of the same ways... we’ve also progressed away from nature/a natural state, in the complications brought about by our perception of time/space.
@RUOmism Those values, come from outside the individual, they’re taught, instilled &, generally, exemplified by family/society/shared groups — it’s how they’ve been made to think; which, along set & setting, make any action, largely predictive.
