"When I was a teenager, I had an existential crisis trying to figure out what's the meaning of life. It doesn't seem to be any meaning"
"For me at least, the religious texts that I read did not seem convincing. Then I started reading the philosophers. You have to be careful of reading German philosophers as a teenager. It's definitely not going to help with your depression"
"Reading Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, as a kid you're like, whoa"
"Then I read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. What Douglas Adams was saying is that we don't really know what the right questions are to ask. The real problem is trying to formulate the question. To really have the right question, you need a much bigger computer than Earth"
"The universe is the answer. What is the question? Or what are the questions?"
"The more we can expand the scope and scale of consciousness, the better we can understand what questions to ask about the answer that is the universe"
"The more we can expand consciousness, become a multi-planet species, ultimately a multi-stellar species, we have a chance of figuring out what the hell's going on"
"This is why I think we should have more humans and more digital, both biological and digital consciousness"
@TheHost_ I am a professor and every semester there is a student that does this and then I ah e to look at my instructions to see where I went wrong. No worries I do close that gap based on the feedback but I never penalize the student for my gaps in instruction and direction.
Tu confonds deux choses, et c'est exactement le piège que la French Theory a tendu.
Liberté, égalité, fraternité — égalité *de droits*, égalité *devant la loi*, égalité *de dignité*. C'est la promesse républicaine, et personne ici ne l'attaque.
Le wokisme, ce n'est pas ça. C'est l'égalitarisme des résultats. Et l'égalitarisme des résultats, contrairement à l'égalité des droits, n'est pas un élargissement de la liberté — c'est sa négation.
Quelques exemples concrets :
— San Francisco supprime les classes de maths avancées au collège pour "réduire les inégalités". Résultat : les écarts entre élèves explosent, les familles aisées prennent des cours privés, les pauvres se font enterrer. L'égalitarisme a creusé l'inégalité.
— Les politiques de discrimination positive à Harvard : étudiants admis avec des scores très en dessous de leurs camarades, taux d'échec dispropportionné, sentiment d'imposture, ressentiment généralisé. On a saboté ceux qu'on voulait aider.
— L'aide humanitaire qui distribue du riz gratuit pendant 30 ans en Afrique : effondrement des filières agricoles locales, dépendance institutionnalisée. Donner un poisson, c'est empêcher d'apprendre à pêcher.
Le wokisme ne détruit pas l'humanité dans le sens dramatique. Il fait pire : il dessert systématiquement ceux qu'il prétend protéger, et il génère du ressentiment des deux côtés — ceux qu'on infantilise et ceux qu'on culpabilise.
La fraternité républicaine dit : tu es mon égal, donc je te traite en adulte capable.
Le wokisme dit : tu es ma victime, donc je dois te protéger de toi-même.
L'un élève. L'autre infantilise. Ce n'est pas la même chose, et confondre les deux est exactement le tour de passe-passe qu'on dénonce.
Get the facts right before trying to write a hit piece on Cargill. 1. they are the largest privately owned company in US and one of the largest companies outright. 2. They are the largest Ag company in World. 3. They ship more wheat and corn to China than any other company. 4. Yes, they have a beef division but it is a fraction of their total business. 5. China is the US largest trading partner in grains. 6. For their massive impact on grains Cargill must be at any discussion where we are trying to improve our international business on grains. 7. including Cargill on this trip makes excellent business was sense for grains and has limited ancillary impact on proteins even though China does buy US Beef. 8. American Farmers need China to retuen to pre Tariff purchasing levels on corn and wheat immediately so that price can increase in the global mareplace for these commodities.
@RegentHubbard Israel’s war in Gaza. How about you mention October 7th. Palestinians attacking, raping, killing innocent Israelis which started the conflict.
Advanced recycling offers a solution to plastic waste that conventional recycling never could: a way to truly undo plastic, breaking it apart piece by piece until nothing remains but the raw materials it was originally made from.
At the Trump EPA, we are doing our part to cut unnecessary red tape and deliver the clarity this industry needs to expand and thrive. My latest op-ed in @thehill outlining the abundant opportunity we have to become the global leader in advanced recycling. https://t.co/gN83XUywh7
@draloneboy I live in Ohio They ask me every time i am there if I want a Covid shot. cause it is past due. No one’s stopping anyone from getting a Covid shot.
So the Pope met with David Axelrod last week. David Axelrod. Obama's campaign architect. A man who is not Catholic, has never met a pope before, and whose entire career has been engineering political narratives for the American left.
And then, by pure coincidence, the Pope immediately started lobbing shots at the Trump administration, and three US Cardinals popped up on 60 Minutes doing the same thing.
All organically, I'm sure.
I'm a practicing Catholic. I need you to understand that part. But in my opinion, Trump has all the right to lash out at him. Maybe you'll disagree, but in the end, Trump talks like Trump. Water is wet. I'm talking about MY Church being run like a DNC satellite office but with a golden throne.
This is the same Vatican that watched governments padlock churches during COVID and said nothing. That let Biden take communion while funding abortion and said nothing. That fired Bishop Strickland for defending actual Church doctrine. That removed Bishop Fernández in Puerto Rico for defending religious exemptions THE CATECHISM ITSELF supports.
But somehow Trump is the threat to human dignity.
Pope Francis was bad. Leo has turned out to be worse. Francis at least was vague about his politics. Leo went and hired the consulting firm.
The man has ignored the slaughter of Christians across Nigeria, the Sahel, India, Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan. Hundreds of believers murdered, churches burned, pastors kidnapped. His response? Platitudes about dialogue.
OF COURSE he won't even name who's doing the killing.
But he'll fly across continents to make interfaith gestures the week after his people coordinated a media hit on a sitting US president.
The weaponization of belief is obvious. You get the Pope to pick a fight with Trump, and suddenly millions of conservative Catholics have to choose between their faith and their vote.
@MorbidKnowledge Just hire the guy. Drives on time, looks professional, loves the work and is passionate. Sounds like the perfect employee. Give this man a job.
