JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE
Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.
This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.
After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.
WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.
As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.
Julian's freedom is our freedom.

@Tomi_Tapio@gmiller Inventing your own definition of a word doesn't make it correct. Sentience is defined as subjective experience in any capacity, hence there are degrees of sentience. Our human consciousness is simply a higher form of sentience and metacognition is not at all a prerequisite.

Poems are magic ceremonies of language. The poetic principle returns pleasure to language through a radical break with the economy of the production of meaning. The poetic does not produce...In poems we enjoy language itself. Byung-Chul Han, The Disappearance of Rituals
'#Spinoza ... held that all that is real is really timeless. And he held that this fact made death insignificant, and
freed those who realized it from the fear of death.'

There's some confusion surrounding Nietzsche's concept of eternal recurrence. It's true that, on the one hand, it expresses an ideal, or a kind of existentialist thought experiment. It appears for the first time in The Gay Science, where it is presented in the form of a myth.

It's interesting that the people who believe that throwing a milkshake in someone's face shouldn't be considered assault are often the same people who believe that 'saying things' should be.
