Reality check.

Get out of your fucking own head.

No one cares about you.

No one cares if you stay stuck, tired, or “figuring things out.”

Everyone’s too busy fighting their own silent battles.

You’ve been waiting for the perfect moment.

It doesn’t exist.

You’ve been waiting for people to notice your potential.

They won’t until you make them.

Stop chasing validation from people who haven’t even built shit themselves.

Stop talking about what you could be.

Start showing it.

Get uncomfortable.

Go quiet.

And do the work no one will clap for

because that’s the only work that changes everything.

GOOD MORNING. Life is very short, Take risks. Get out there and try stuff and keep trying until you find something that thrills you and makes a real difference in the world. This is the first thought I had when I woke up today and I wanted to share it while it’s fresh in my mind.

My take on the genocide question, at this moment in time.
* The 7/10 attack on Israel by Hamas, Islamic Jihad and thousands of Gazan civilians was genocidal in intent and practice.
* Hamas, Hezbollah and some leaders of the Palestinian Authority are genocidal toward Israelis in intent and often in practice.
* Official PA policy is not genocidal, with two notable exceptions: jihadist school curricula, and idolizing killers of Jewish civilians, also financially supporting their families.
* The statements of leading Israeli politicians (the vast majority of whom are from the coalition) and some celebrities are genocidical in intent.
* As far as I can judge from Israeli journalists, reliable analysts and people I know who fought in Gaza, the current war is ugly, dirty, includes war crimes, but it is not a genocide.
* Based on Israel’s future conduct and the availability of well-established facts, I will review my position if needed.
* The future ruling of the ICJ will probably impact my judgment, but this will also depend on the informed input of internationally recognized jurists.
* At this time, I therefore can’t and won’t agree or engage with people who take an Israeli genocide in Gaza to be a proven fact.
* Israel’s war in Gaza began as a just war (with a legal casus belli), but should and could have stopped, at least temporarily, to allow a hostage deal and far better humanitarian aid.
Deliberate starvation of civilians and plans for land grabbing are criminal and morally wrong.
* Wars are by definition horrific. This one is worse than many, and worse than it might have been. I blame Hamas first, the Israeli government second.
That’s it. I am trying to be honest with you and with my own conscience, and even this task is devilishly difficult.
Debate is welcome, trolling is not.

@elonmusk Demand characteristics is a real thing. Its clear from this data that white respondents react differently to this question, but I suspect it is because they don’t want to appear racist.

Does astrology work? We tested the ability of 152 astrologers to see if they could demonstrate genuine astrological skill.

Here is how the study was designed and what we found (including a result that really surprised me):

"Apartheid"

Israel is being defined as an apartheid state by some because Palestinians (and their supporters) believe the entire territory is theirs. They don't view it in terms of two (or three) states, but rather as one.

Israel doesn't view itself as an apartheid state because functionally, Gaza/West Bank are basically already independent states. They do not occupy them. They see themselves as having and enforcing a border.

They view Gaza as governed by Hamas, a recognized terrorist organization, and the West Bank as an area governed by the Palestinian Authority.

An argument can be made that when Israel doesn't actively combat settlements, and Gaza relies on particular resources from Israel, there's a level of control. While the first is valid, of course, on the latter point, for some reason there's never complaints about Egypt, which also shares a border.

But I think this key difference of vision of one state vs two, is what causes some to view this as apartheid vs others being confused as to why they would use such terminology—particularly since those Palestinians or Arabs who are citizens of Israel enjoy completely equal rights.

This is in contrast with South Africa where institutionalised racial segregation existed within one entity.

Even the Palestinian Authority knows the truth about Hamas.

Adviser to Palestinian President Abbas says that Hamas is deliberately killing children and women in Gaza to damage Israel's image.
