    Projection, in the Western-psychology sense:

    The Republicans-enforcing-fascist-police-state are exactly what they’re designating trans-people.

    Gaslighting’s greatest-example yet, apparently

    ( Homer Simpson meme: "greatest-example so far … " ) :

    I hope I don’t have to live in this world too much longer:

    humankind’s making its collective-ego’s myth-fantasies actualize, is very very bad, when humankind’s ego is toddler-pubescent, without any understanding of accountability or consequences…

    The problem is that MY soul/continuum indulged in this-incarnation, therefore MY soul/continuum doesn’t understand this kind of experiencing enough to have the responsibility/intelligence to avoid it.

    Unfortunately, that means the only means of preventing further re-incarnation-into-this-kind-of-braindead-shitfest is to endure as much of it as possible, making that soul/continuum have some experience-induced-understanding.

    Humbug on reincarnation’s rules: humbug on experience-being-required-for-competence…

    ( I’m only making this explicit, so that others who have no encountering of AwakeSoulism/Buddhism’s “the nature of existence in universe, is suffering” can begin understanding what perspective that Buddha/AwakeSoul Gautama was speaking from.

    Ditch the “me” from the above, & see the principle of it!

    that principle makes much of reality clearer: unconscious-souls get caught in lives in-which they suffer, because unconscious-souls don’t accept accountability or responsibility, & they just do any random thing, because they want to.

    Experienced/conscious souls avoid doing that, & get caught in more sane, more advantageous lives/incarnations, simply because they know-better.

    It’s rational, it’s obvious, & it’s functional: we can act on it, through making our Eternity get better, through earning more growing-up within our individual-lives.

    All this fatalism & learned-helplessness that is being pushed by all the different forces/groups is counter to our own advantage, and we NEED to stop drowning-for-its-benefit, right?

    That’s why I invested in making the underling principle clear, even though I’m tired & fed-up with how it has battered my life: universal-law cares only about itself, so “tough cookies”, it is. )

    That brilliant insight in the Christian bible is true:

    https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev+10%3A8-10&version=CJB

    In-one’s-face apparent- or symbolic- “truth” is syrupy-sweet,

    but in-one’s-belly experience-induced-understanding is bitter, bitter.

    The more-complete my understanding, the more the world’s oligarchy-rulers turn out to be machiavellian gaslighters, who have power that cannot be broken without MASSIVE concerted-action by entire-civilizations, including governments-for-the-citizenry, …

    … & the next-while’s going to be butchering-down humankind in wars over ideologies, in order to prevent any fundamental-change from removing power from narcissism-machiavellianism-sociopathy … to responsibilityarchy…

    it’s like seeing a mob take a detour from where-they-are-fighting … through a narrow land-bridge that slaughters most of them, dropping them into being shredded on rocks by stormy-seas, so their few-survivors can finish fighting without concentrating on the important-thing-1st…

    Fighting the wrong war.

    It is our unconscious ignoring that won, … not any appearances that we put atop that unconscious-ignoring…

    Humbug on our retardedness, refusing to correct the most-fundamental-wrongs 1st.

    and in other “news”, men who had exclusive-of-all-non-men rights, have asserted that allowing women to have civil-rights, would be bad, too…

    and white-supremacists have asserted that allowing non-whites any validity would be bad, too…

    Duh!

    Rigged-privilege protects itself, using all ideological disinformation it can!

    it always has, it always will.

    But why would this be deadly for the overall, if it removes feudalism/oligarchism’s validity/economic-might/rights-are-exclusive-of-the-regular-citizenry paradigm?

    Gaslighters need to be controlled/limited, not platformed/boosted/validated.

    Read the important “Screwed” by Thom Hartmann, for REAL and ACTUALLY EVIDENCE-BASED economics…

    Here’s a not-affiliate link to the actual book, so hopefully you can read a sample & begin understanding why I’m recommending it.

    https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/screwed-47

    I’d tried understanding economics for decades and something was “off” about everything the textbooks were pushing, which got clarified in Hartmann’s book, right up front.

    Economic-strength is citizenry based, and NOT mere-wealth/stocks based!!

    Duh!, right?

    But until Hartmann’s book, I’d not seen the correct framing for economic-strength, in ANY book on economics!

    Sad, and true.

    Get clear understanding: it de-stresses one’s view, & therefore one’s whole mode of living, to good extent!

    so THeRe, eh?

    : p

    There is NOTHING in the new-testament which showed that benJoseph was committed to destroying people born wired into other genders, that I know-of,

    so therefore the positions of the “churches” is standing entirely on stuff that isn’t of their root-guru, benJoseph,

    but is in the rest of the book, which their root-guru identified as “mostly rules made by men, not G-D”, in their own new-testament.

    Should their root-guru return, he’s promised ( Matt 24, iirc ) to return outside their churches, & we’ll see how conforming-with-the-churches-he-isn’t-of that he’s going to be, won’t we?

    Should their root-guru return, that is. )

    Here’s their root-guru quoting Isaiah, saying that people are taking as G-D’s religion rules made by men, which is exactly the point I’m trying to get known…

    What pisses me off most about the “evolution is only a ‘theory’!” machiavellianism/gaslighting, is that it’s calling all farmers who breed their own crops or animals liars , and the farmers are every bit as rural as the Republican-strongholds warring against education of considered-reasoning, scientific-method, etc.

    IF selection, natural or intentionally-induced, didn’t alter the resultant-population,

    THEN farmers wouldn’t have any reason to invest in doing it!

    2-facedness/gaslighting seems to be a hard-limit, for me…

    Then you don’t understand what happens when a significant-fraction of the planet’s population loses the ability to grow food in their farms,

    & militarily wages war on all who are “in their way” to live where food WILL grow.

    AMOC shutting-down FORCES WW3, if it hadn’t already-begun before then.

    Even if Europe stays put & just accepts being destroyed, CCP’s long-game will opportunistically wage war against the remnants of the West, for sake of breaking the world to their rule, replacing the US’s rule.

    “The destruction of the West is the midwife of Chinese dominion.”

    Throw Putin & other powerful imperialists into the mix, & the Accelerationist-nihilist-oligarchs, & removing food-security from Europe ( by eradicating the atlantic’s warming of it in winters ) & the militarized-rabies that is produced does have extinction-level consequences.

    there’s another forcing-process underlying all this, too:

    population-saturation-rage.

    It’s been seen in rats & humans.

    In rats, if you have a closed-ecology ( just as we have, with our finite-planet ), & the rats have enough food to keep increasing their population-density,

    they will…

    …until they’re TOO crowded, when suddenly they become crazy, & cannibalistic, until the population’s butchered-down enough, & then they go back to sane ( there’s a hysteresis-loop in the process ).

    The same happens with humans: pressurize the human-population enough, & there’s a “snap” from sanity to nihilism.

    During the end of WW2, it happened in the European front, & the German word for the mind-mode produced is “lustmord”, or deathlust.

    That mis-identifies it, though: it’s MURDER-greed.

    I think that some of the Russians fighting in Ukraine are demonstrating it, perfectly.

    It looks like the mass-shooting-epidemic in the US is demonstrating it perfectly, too.

    So, what happens when entire regions get flipped into that mode, not just scattered individuals?

    Mass-extinction.

    “War becomes the drug.”, as some realized, in Yugoslavia, years ago…

    The feedback-loops amplify everything, until sanity no-longer is any sort of option, & the result of THAT population’s enforcing its “answer” looks completely different from what we’re used-to living among.

    Sorry to be blunt, but the less we know objectivity, the greater the % of the population who’ll be destroyed by our ignoring/denying ( including mine: this is global viability, not ideological )

    The presumption in their work is that ClimatePunctuation isn’t accelerating.

    That presumption is pervasive, among climate research.

    It’s wrong.

    The actual speed of ClimatePunctuation is bell-curved, more or less:

    • speed-of-change from the pre-existing Equilibrium is small, at the beginning…

    • speed-of-change increases, to a maximum…

    • speed-of-change decreases from the maximum down to the new Equilibrium.

    Obviously, the evidence which keeps falsifying the optimism of the climate-research-field’s models is evidence of accelerating process ( the deep East Antarctic ice-sheet being warmed 2x as quickly as models predicted, e.g. recently-published )

    That such evidence KEEPS getting in our face, & we KEEP ignoring that we’re getting the whole-speed-curve wrong, is evidence that paradigm-bound-thinking is overriding our ability-to-survive.

    ClimatePunctuation’s still accelerating.

    IF the people who reject that are predicting 50-100y before it becomes inevitable that it shuts down, THEN ClimatePunctuation’s accelerating is GUARANTEED to produce the result sooner, because they’re predicting based on the wrong curve.

    It doesn’t matter, though: accountability/integrity isn’t something that’ll ever affect institutions, it’s powerless against them, right?

    Our kind protects what’s most-important, & … nonaccountability is the 1st thing we protect, before our very lives.

    All the last few thousand years of history backs that fact.

    Should critical-thinking be taught in education?

    It’s the same principle, mandatory-input-into-population overriding self-centered-“freedom”-that-competes-against-the-worth-of-the-commons…

    Should YOU have any right to decide what the billions-of-cells-in-your-body eat?

    XOR shouldn’t your body’s cells have THEIR rule overriding you, individual-cellular-freedom, etc…

    It’s the same paradigm-question, just at a different scale.

    Obviously, you’re going to hold that YOU have the right to override tissue-preferences within your body ( so you have the right to outright-exterminate any growing cancer within your body ),

    but you may hold that rights stop with the individual, & the population has zero rights to its viability…

    That is a rather Western narcissism that just doesn’t fly in traditional-tribal-cultures, which were the normal human-culture for the … perhaps million … years before our agriculture created guilds/castes/monarchy-oligarchy/feudalism.

    Crack the question’s principle, & then you have an answer which is right at all scales.

    Decide instead that YOU are the only-valid-scale for all questions, & then you have the right to butcher-the-whole-for-sake-of-narcissistic-gain, while simultaneously deciding that within-your-body, no subset has any right to rule for its own sake, only YOU have the right to rule: contradictory-law at different scales, iow.

    IF the overall-benefit is greater than the rights of the individual, THEN one aquires the responsibility to differentiate between institutions gaslighting about operating for the overall’s benefit ( while really operating for their-own-institutional-benefit, at the cost of the overall ), vs those who actually are operating for the overall-benefit:

    the complexity goes up, the number-of-dimensions-of-corruption goes up, but the potential-gain goes waaay up, if one gets it right.

    ( airliners are not “mere opinion” or “mere belief”: they actually work, & they actually work because of collaboration, teamwork, economic-organization, diverse-contributions, etc.

    The same is true of research, of fitness, of culture, etc.

    Collaboration can produce MASSIVELY greater results, & that is also true when collaboration eradicates the rapid-spread of diseases/plagues, simply because not enough are getting infected, per day, to amplify the spread, see? )

    I believe that the metals in the crust are primarily

    1. because the crust froze, before the heavier stuff could all sink down to the bottom, the core, through convection & settling…
    2. from nickel-iron meteorites, like in Sudbury ( a mining-region of Ontario Canada, which is a roughly-200-km wide crater/impact-site rich in metals )
    3. because the subducted-crust tends to come back up, through plate-tectonics
    4. only waaay-down on the list, because the dino-killing impact apparently burst a batch of volcanoes on the opposite-side of the planet, & THEY carried some of the core’s metals out onto the surface ( the iridium-rich layer that coats the planet right when the dinosaurs got extinguished couldn’t have come from carbonate-meteorite, & that’s what testing has declared the dino-killing meteorite to be, therefore the burst of volcanoes which suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the planet must have been the source for all that iridium )

    Precisely: the core is primarily iron, in mass, with nickel probably being the 2nd by-mass component. I’ve read that hydrogen is about 10% of the core’s mass ( metallic, obviously ), & that is why the seismic-refraction-index is as low as it is. Platinum, iridium, osmium, uranium, etc, all the heavy stuff, is in there, too.

    ( that is why the iridium-rich layer covering the entire planet right when the dinosaurs got extincted is significant:

    it had to come either from a nickel-iron type impactor, XOR it had to come from volcanoes which somehow got core-metals in them: there’s no other source for that much iridium, locally to this planet.

    The fact that the impactor has been tested to be carbonate rock, & NOT a nickel-iron body, to me, proves that the impact produced that burst of volcanoes on the opposite side of the planet

    ( those volcanoes exist: some have claimed that the impact didn’t cause dino-extinction … that it was ONLY those volcanoes ),

    …and to me proves that the total input of both impact and burst-volcanoes’ energy-expressions is what killed-off the dinosaurs.

    Lava isn’t heavy-metals-rich normally: we’re talking thousands-of-km distance between the bottom-of-the-crust & the outer-liquid-core ( the inner-solid-core is inside the outer-liquid-core ), magma is a HUGELY thick layer.
