WHEN the US of A’s Civil War Part2 begins, it’ll be simultaneous with the US’s waging war against Canada.

So, it’ll be saving Canada’s life, by mitigating the US’s effectiveness…

and with the US waging war against Canada ( & Mexico, Panama, etc… ), Putin will be ( with China’s & Saudi Arabia’s complete backing ) waging war against the EU/rest-of-NATO.

Trump’s a Putin-ally, not a NATO, & that’s been true since the 1980’s.

the NATO bill they’ve now got drafted in the US, in removing the US from NATO isn’t a spur-of-the-moment thing: its roots go back to the Kremlin’s investment in Trump, last-century…

IF by “taking a side” you mean cheering on, from the sidelines, sure, NATO’ll take a side…

however, if by “taking a side” you mean invading, … get real.

WHEN the US Constitution is rendered completely-irrelevant ( 2028, as that’s when the required election would threaten Trump’s kinghood ) by wars against ALL neighbors, & then the CCP can carve-up Asia, & MBS can gain possession of the entire Middle-East, all of Africa, etc… ( I don’t know who gets South America, but it isn’t the West: China’s the one who’s been investing in it, & the oligarchs/far-right have been investing in highjacking it, so it’s a tossup between them, isn’t it? … oh, “Israel” won’t exist much past 2028: Hamas’s brilliant unconscious strategy was to use the life of the Palestinian people as bait, to get “Israel” to display its narcissistic/machiavellian/psychopathic/nihilistic/sadistic/systemically-dishonest/prejudice ( all dimensions that also express through other prejudice-ideologies, including islamism, white-supremacism, etc… ) & once the Muslim world no longer cared if they survived the fight, that ANNIHILATING “Israel” is REQUIRED… then suddenly “Israel” no-longer has any military “deterrent”, do they? “Deterrent” REQUIRES that opponents be deterred, right? Making them into unhesitating martyrs isn’t “deterring” them, is it? “Israel” is sooo completely prejudice-polarized that it isn’t competent to perceive that concept, apparently. So, once that tipping-point is crossed, then “Israel” gets annihilated, exactly as the Christian prophecy declared ( Matt 24, iirc ) )

WHEN the US Constitution is rendered completely-irrelevant, THEN… TrueNATO’ll have sooo many problems of its own, that the US of A will have to wage war on all its neighbors WHILE exterminating civil-rights, leftists, Christians who’re loyal to LivingSpirit, people of all other religions who’re loyal to LivingSpirit, LivingSpirit itself, if they can figure out how, etc…

it’ll simply be nazism, all over again.

Only the appearances will be different.

Will they even have giant murder-factories, as the nazis had over 1000 of?

probably…

A more important question, for the survivors will be: as soon as Putin & Trump drop ( they are old: this will happen to them ), then … will the CCP’s empire step up to be rampaging the remnant of the West?

The correct answer is yes, they will.

Fundamentally, humankind “can’t” tolerate civil-rights to rule over authority, so EVERY kind of authoritarianism is going to try breaking civil-rights from our world, completely.

White supremacism, then CCP authoritarianism… then another, then another… until either humankind’s underlying-nature is force-changed, XOR until humankind’s extinguished…

Some would say that the US of A has been providing aid to the world, all along!

Yes, simultanously with CIA treachery…

As is obvious, ALL our countries have been playing that kind of game!

Some would say that the world, endlessly-helped by the US of A, owes the US of A help in surviving its Civil War Part2…

After all the treachery that the US has enforced so as to prevent civil-rights from having real leverage in the world…

( here’s 1: Afghanistan.

Obama let it slip that there was immense mineral-wealth there…

so, how come the US of A hadn’t helped the Afghani people get a functioning government & economy built on that, instead of having opium remain the spine of the Afghani economy??

Colonialism.

Sad, or what?

Then I found out that it was Carter who obliterated the good government in Afghanistan, so as to prevent it from interfering with the US’s dominion-game…

& these are 2 of the “good guys”?? )

Humankind has NO right to claim, in G-D’s face, that it has “done the right thing”, at any scale, consistently.

Now humankind has to sort itself out.

The US of A has to sort itself out.

If the balance-of-power means that evil wins, then … then humankind needs force-extinguishment, for the Solar-systems, or/and the Galaxy’s sake.

Our factionalism will do the enforcing: no need for any “intervention”, but it’ll be humankind’s planet-scale civil-war.

& deathmatch.

War of attrition.

Either 1 kind survives, or none do.

That is the proper framing, for the entire rest of this century.

The US is just 1 little set-of-battles, not anywhere-near the whole thing of this century’s “force cleaning-up of humankind”.

The US won’t be a player in the mid 2030’s: Trump’s making certain of that.

Hear hear!!

( that is parliamentary-speak for “Absolutely Right!”, just in case anybody reading didn’t grow up in a parliamentary town : )

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. […] The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.” - Eisenhower

This is just ideologically ignoring that there are distinct-dimensions in the proper question:

IF you’ve got cancer, THEN does it make sense to stop “funding” your immune-system, because the ( 10% when you’re healthy, probably 25% when you’re sick, or more ) fraction of your calories which are going to violence ought be going, instead, to comfyness??

Idiocy.

Survival IS a basic-need, as Maslow understood, & exactly as enforcement is a basic-need within your organism, it also is within countries.

And between them.

“serial-murder, treason, terrorism, etc, all just need to be made to be nice, & we’ll compromise with them, & everybody will be happy”

( I’m NOT accusing you of having spoken that, but it’s a fundamental idea behind the utopian non-reality that your, & Eisenhower’s, ignoring-the-different-dimensions-of-requirement is doing ) ignores that diversity-of-intent is an actual thing, & it ignores the greatness of that diversity.

Yes, some people actually butcher others for fun.

NOT enforcing against that, is morally criminal.

Yes, some factions, including countries, butchers others for fun/gain/profit/kicks/whatever.

NOT enforcing against that is also morally criminal.

Yes, WE ( all of our countries ) have committed evil, through our means, economic, through weapons, through selective-legislations ( ask the Indigenous people about that, sometime, if you’ve balls enough, oh readers, & the state-sanctioned slavery of Africans was only a subset of the world’s slavery that the West was profiting from, including slavery of the Indigenous people in parts of the Americas ), & countering that means enforcing accountability on our own institutions

( good fscking luck accomplishing that: Rule Number Zero in institutions is NEVER tolerate accountability, & once that’s done, then never tolerate responsibility is the next rule ),

& that requires ACTUAL Journalism, which no longer exists, among our world ( only ideological parodies of journalism remain, now. Sad as all fscking hell. “The Elements of Journalism” now in its 4th edition, NEEDS to be made a high-school requirement, xor our civilization won’t have enough leverage to be able to survive The Great Filter, this century )…

but to declare that simply deeming all military/enforcement spending to be fundamentally contrary to social-support/education/etc, is DISinformation.

Whether an organism needs an immune-system or not is dependent on its context.

Whether a country needs military-investment is dependent on its context.

NOT an ideological-belief ( either militarist or utopian ).

Ukraine’s need for military is not an ideological delusion: it is survival-requirement.

When Trump declares war on Canada, so as to take-possession of the entire-continent for himself, Canada’s need for military will be identical to Ukraine’s: extinguishment is the only alternative to fit fighting survival.

IF Trump gets through Canada ( he’s getting old: there’s a time-limit on his life ), then Putin & Trump are committed to butchering the hated woke EU.

There are many right-wingers working to butcher the EU from within, as Millei is in the process of butchering Argentina from within…

Those who are waging negative-sum-game ( mass-shootings are negative-sum-game, competitive-narcissism is zero-sum-game ) so that they can enforce that the “woke” are ALL butchered, lost, destroyed, shed, … are warring for their ideology to be the final “ruler” of the world.

It is ideological/“religious”, not objective, the real war we’re waging.

ClimatePunctuation, however, couldn’t care less about such ideologies: it’s still accelerating, & all the bullshit “consensus” that that isn’t happening is just helping obliterate more future-lives, a greater percentage of humankind. ( much of India, California, Texas, Saudi Arabia, etc, ought be uninhabitable before the end of this century: Trump’s rampaging of Canada will be goaded partly by the continuing acceleration of ClimatePunctuation )

Once our world has divided into the 4-ish alliances/empires that are the max this world can sustain, in WW3, then the REAL beat-down will begin: a whole-planet deathmatch, beginning in the early 2030’s. Only 1 alliance/empire/faction will survive, … IF any do …

NOT fighting for our lives IS obliterating our future-generations: obliterating THEIR lives, for sake of our complacent “status quo will save us” non-effort.

Anybody who pushes nonviolence against cancer/ebola/marburg/rabies/etc should be considered to be lethally-incompetent, at best ( how many lives did Typhoid Mary indirectly-destroy? There IS reasponsibility in both action & in inaction! ).

The same for any who advocate appeasing/accommodating those who are investing-in & are committed-to the annihilation of civil-rights from this planet, no matter what their “colors” or “stripe” or “flag” or ideology/prejudice/“religion” be.

Feel free to deem me evil for any/every point I put in this comment:

I expect that there will be either 0% survival of this century by our world’s humankind, … xor there will be between 1% & 2% survival, IF some faction grows enough spine to evolve, fast, relentlessly, endlessly, until surviving The Great Filter becomes for them possible.

All who reject that axiomatically put me in the dangerously-mentally-ill or the evil category, & that’s fine.

I expect there to be about 8 billion fewer humans left alive by 2090.

All the ideological “you have to be in this ideology, pushing this group’s dominion of our world” … or that, … or the other … they’re all idiotic, in my view: like idiots fighting-over which deck-chair won’t drown, while in the sinking of the Titanic.

Totally-wrong frame-of-reference.

Species-extinguishment’s the proper frame-of-reference.

Ideological-dominion cannot win, without snuffing this world’s humankind.

Only hard-objectivity/global-(not-ideological)-pragmatism can win The Great Filter.

& nobody’s accepting the evidence’s framing of it that way.

Exactly the same as nobody is accepting that the proper framing of all the geopolitical major-players is in the 3 kinds of “games”, positive-sum games ( win-win alliances, none of which are visible in the world, to me ), zero-sum games ( competitive-narcissism, which is presumed by default to be the only game in the world by us, for some delusional “reason” ), & negative-sum games ( mass-shootings, genocides, what Putin, the Republican Party, Millei, Orban, Musk, & many others are doing only matches this, or a mixture of this & zero-sum game )… nobody is accepting the correct-framing, so therefore everybody is “not seeing the forest for the trees”, & losing their perspective in the political-details…

& that is much of why I don’t believe that more than 2% of humankind CAN survive this century, now…

IF you won’t know that the thrumming in the rails is the oncoming train, AND you’re sitting on the tracks holding your sprained ankle, howling for attention ( ideological-conforming/belonging/dominion, remapped ), THEN getting splatted throughout the sky is Universe’s right to enforce on you, right?

IF, instead, you realize that the 200mph train’s coming barely in time for most of you to survive getting out of its way, but all your friends die, aerosolized by the impact… that isn’t on Nature, that’s on you, right? The telegraphing of what Nature was about to be doing was happening within your awareness’s reach, but it was your belief that was vetoing it, right?

The geopolitical-shitshow we’re embedded-in was set up centuries ago.

Our preventing this specific demise of the US of A would have required that education be nationally-organized/funded in the US for … an entire century?

Read Kahneman’s “Thinking Fast and Slow” & understand that Kahneman & Tversky’s “System 1”, the imprint-reaction system, IS ideology/prejudice/“religion”'s basis.

Read “Top Brain / Bottom Brain” & understand that “System 1” is lower-forebrain.

Then understand that upper-forebrain requires LOTS of training to get it operating, its being allowed to “vote” in our world is dependent on its relative strength, compared with lower-forebrain, & that the 1st thing that Lenin, Rupert Murdoch, the Republicans, cults, religions, etc, ALL do, is they eradicate considered-reasoning from education, so as to prevent considered-reasoning/critical-thinking from gaining control, ever again…

It’s FAR too late to save the US of A’s life, now.

It may be too late to save humankind’s life…

Pretending that “there will be time: Universe will pause & wait for us, because it revolves around us!” as we’ve been doing, means that, at this point in our evolution, we may deserve Universe’s extinguishing us: if we WON’T think, then natural selection ought clean our kind off from the map.

Let some actually intelligent life evolve, instead.

Yeah, I’m getting bitter, in my old age, but humankind’s WON’T think galls, & being gaslit about it, on top, only galls more.

Trump’s been committed to ditching NATO & allying with Putin, his sponsor/mentor, for years.

There’s even a bill on the table, now, called NATO, about the US ditching NATO.

Chopping social-systems will please, but NOT appease, Trump,

& it won’t change his strategic-course, to ditch NATO & piecemeal butcher it, taking Greenland as a means of strangling Canada completely, then waging war against Canada, because Canada stands in his way…

then once Canada’s down, destroying the hated woke EU in a pincer between Putin & him,

so that in the end, only Putin, Trump, Millei, Orban, etc, get to be “kings” over the butchered West, & unlimitedly unaccountable…

It isn’t a zero-sum-game they’re playing: it’s a negative-sum-game ( mass-shooting, except through legislations, instead of bullets, killing entire-populations, not mere-individuals ),

& the longer it takes for people to grok that, the greater the percentage of our countries’ lives they’ll succeed in shedding.

So, once the US has ditched NATO to partner with Putin, Orban, Millei, etc…

WILL THE REMAINDER OF NATO SMARTEN-UP AND GET READY FOR THE BEING-RAMPAGED THAT WE’RE GOING TO BE SUBJECTED-TO by Putin+Trump+Orban+GlobalRightWing??

XOR are we going to sit on our hands waiting, denying right to our country’s deaths, resonsibility for our own survival??

Humankind may-well deserve extinguishing, if humankind won’t do what it needs to do, to survive…

Orban needs to be removed from the EU, and from TrueNATO.

Yesterday.

This has been true since it became obvious that he was Putin’s agent/representative, a few years ago.

There is a dead-simple concept that humankind has been ignoring.

The SPEED of climate-change is following a curve similar to a bell-curve:

it was at zero.

it will, in the end, in the new climate-equilibrium, be zero.

Between, however, it will accelerate until it reaches a peak-speed, & then slow-down to the new climate-equilibrium.

Obviously, we’re still in the accelerating-part of the curve.

Obviously, if the past accelerating-curve is matched by future decelerating-towards-zero duration, then the total planetary-heating we’re in-for is MUCH more than what “consensus” “science” asserted.

Equally obviously, it’ll accelerate faster & faster until it reaches its peak-acceleration, & then it’ll slow in acceleration until the peak-speed-of-change is reached, remain there for awhile before beginning deceleration…

This simple, basic concept, that the general shape of a ClimatePunctuation is roughly bell-curved for speed, should identify the minimum-magnitude of change, for all…

So should the powerlaw underlying the change, which shows that for the current CO2 we’re aiming at a minimum of +6C, but when methane is included, then we’re aiming into a minimum of +9C.

No, MSM isn’t going to be either honest or proactive,

so just expect more incredulity, more normalization-of-disinformation, more “the evidence contradicts the valid-model” “science”, & more … essentially, filibustering to prevent any competent mitigation.

The bell-curve-shape of the speed-of-change & the powerlaw underlying the planetary-equilibrium-temperature are both profound, don’t care who says what, & work.

They’re trustworthy…

The disinformation-pushers, however, profit in social-status from what they’re doing, so that’ll continue, until the very end.

Here’s the powerlaw without including methane: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature19798

When I added-in the methane, & the proper timescale for adding it in is 12y, apparently ( presume that we’ll keep adding more & more of it, too, as that’s what the evidence declares ), which makes it much more significant than I’d thought… ( methane has a short halflife in the atmosphere, so the longer you measure a particular input’s effect, the weaker it gets. That means, though, that the ever-increasing amount we’re measuring in our atmosphere is directly due to ever-increasing amount of methane-release, not to accumulation-of-previous-releases. )

_ /\ _

Someone pointed-out to me that when the police declare the value of siezed-drugs,

it is significantly to their political advantage to misrepresent the value as being MUCH higher than it actually was…

Therefore I’d legislate, to prevent that corruption from having any home, that police could identify the mass, & the grade, of whatever they’d seized, but not the “value”, so as to make it so that they didn’t even have any motivation to lie ( thereby saving them from some bad karma )…

However, this valuation looks backwards?

( mind you, I’ve no actual idea how much the stuff is worth, on the streets )

$132_000_000 / 2_400_000g = $55/g

that doesn’t seem right, if it’s uncut?

( ttbomk, it’s nearly-impossible to get clean drugs at the end-purchase: they’re ALWAYS cut with SOMETHING…

I remember some years ago, the police were warning people out on the West coast of North America, that there was some … perhaps cocaine? … going around that was killing people because it wasn’t cut, so everybody was getting the dosage wrong… )

Anyways, this is just a public service announcement to say that EVERY time you see such a statement by police, a mass of drugs, for some specific “value”, please do the calculation yourself, & see if what they’re saying even makes any sense…

In this case I think they were undervaluing the stuff, but that’s just a guess ( as I’ve no actual idea what drugs go-for, to the end-user, or at any stage of the chain, actually ), & maybe my impression that cocaine was a $100/g drug is just some impression I got from 1980’s movies?

Entirely possible…

As predicted years ago.

Trump is Putin’s ally, not NATO’s.

This was forseen by some YEARS ago…

As I’ve said before, they’re committed to destroying all the “woke” countries in a pincer between Putin & Trump,

& that’s why Greenland is required, so the US can do to Canada what Russia’s been doing to Ukraine, & once Canada’s destroyed, then the hated-by-them-both EU can be destroyed.

It’s a strategy, & it will succeed unless the TrueNATO countries SMARTEN UP SHARPLY, QUICKLY, which looks to not be going to happen…

Whatever.

There are other worlds in endless-stream-of-universes: our continuums/souls will just do it again, on another world, after obliterating this “Garden of Eden” world, right?

whatever.

Watching humankind “prevent” snuffing-of-humankind is like watching a junkie’s life be obliterated by whatever junk they’re addicted-to.

Inevitable, depressing, pointless…

Oh, sure, it’s possible that the addict in question might somehow change & fight-for-their-life against their unconscious-mind’s obliteration-addiction, but is it likely?

not.

Then Carney is naive to the point of being a possible-liability, strategically…

Trump fundamentally/ideologically NEEDS the woke EU broken/destroyed, & only between a Putin + Trump pincer can that be accomplished.

Using Alaska & Greenland to sever ALL Canada’s trade, allows Trump to then become king of the entire continent, & then the Putin+Trump pincer can destroy the EU,

… leaving Putin & Trump the only remaining “kings” of the West.

THAT is the unconscious-goal that will be controlling our futures ( given that it has the civil-authority to enforce its will on the world, to the US military’s extent ).

Nevermind the scrambledness of Trump’s conscious “strategy”, pay attention instead to the underlying, UNconscious strategy, & then you will see what’s really going to be ruling this world…

Unconscious-strategy e.g: Hamas had no conscious strategy in attacking Israel that Oct day ( it was a tactic without strategy ), but they definitely had an unconscious strategy:

to prove, through Israel’s rampaging genociding of Palestine, that Muslims have to not care at all what “deterrent” that Israel has, only ANNIHILATION of Israel can be tolerated…

Anddd… Israel took the bait.

Hook, line, sinker, even the fishing-rod they ate…

Should be ?within a year of 2028? … when Israel gets annihilated.

( the annihilation of Israel predicted in the Christian bible, Matt 24, iirc, refers to this specific event, btw: its “footprint” in humankind’s unconscious is big, same as the rest of the species-extinction events are, or near-extinction, if some fraction of humankind survives this century… )

Anyways, that’s how unconscious mind’s strategy works: MAKE the myth it is identifying-with, be forced into enactment, because G-D will ( of course… ) obey our “entitlement”, and remove all accountability or responsibility from us, “the chosen”!

( yeah, I’m bitter & cynical, now: I’m old )

All the apocalyptic-“Christians” are unconsciously working to make their unconscious-myth become the world’s ONLY frame…

Same with all, of all cultures!

We’re no different from them, in that…

( the brilliant psychological-insight in the Christian bible, using the term “behemoth”, or herd-beast, to identify our unconscious-mind’s herdbeast-nature … how many people admit, nowadays, that that’s fundamental in human-nature?

yet the evidence is all-pervading! “fads”, “fashion”, “mobs”/stampeding, etc… we make ourselves incompetent when we ignore evidence’s Truth… ).

Anyways, I’ve predicted ( couple months ago? ) that there’d be a kind of Putin/Trump/Netanyahu alliance, as their values are fundamentally the same, & now Trump’s interfering in Israel’s internal affairs to prevent any prosecution of Netanyahu…

yeah, it’s all fitting into a coherent image, more & more…

Remember the different-scale of the unconscious-progression, though:

the back-and-forth, the friends-enemies-friends at the personal level is just local-turbulence.

The real world-shaping is happening at a deeper, more-fundamental, level.

Trump & Musk are going to be collaborating, later, in destroying the viability of all “others” ( for their definition of “others” )… just wait a few years…

Same with Trump & Putin…

etc…

You will see, when WW3 begins, in the early 2030’s, only ?4? major alliances left, on the planet.

Globalization, but taken to the fatal degree ( due to deranged “values” that humankind “couldn’t afford” to correct, in the past, now having the technology to extinguish our species, completely, if its ego doesn’t get to be “god” ).

Watch, through the next few years, as humankind becomes sooo polarized, that our world gets turned into a kind of cartoon of hell.

As-in cartoon-evil leaders ruling their territories, & cartoon others ( either hapless, or overwhelmed, or clean but “good is not soft” https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoodIsNotSoft for that concept ) competing against them…

Most of the world is too corruption/ineducation entrenched for it to be able to choose adapting/evolution, so … most of this world’s population will be gone ( unless all of it’ll be gone, the only real alternative ) by the end of this century…

Status Quo is just a mirage, now.

The Great Filter, when the ideological-toddler world-species has full world-ecology-butchering capability, & factionally uses it to enforce that each faction’s ideology be “the only Lord!”… butchering all “others”, but whole-planet-scale, everything, all at once, deathmatching until only 1 faction is left alive…

People wonder why the galaxy seems silent of civilizations…

The Great Filter would certainly explain it, wouldn’t it?

& I don’t expect more than a tiny fraction of humankind to be able to survive forced growing-up…

Back to Carney, though…

All you have to do, to see Trump’s true-nature, is to map his 1980’s location on each spectrum/dimension of human-evil, & contrast it with today’s location on the same spectrums:

• narcissism
• machiavellianism
• sociopathy-psychopathy ( he has openly-admired Putin’s automatic murdering of others, within the last few years, can’t remember who reported that, sorry… )
• nihilism
• sadism
• systemic-dishonesty
• ideological-contempt/prejudice-hatred

So, if you do that, you discover that on ALL dimensions of human-evil ( that I currently know-of, the psychology-profession acknowledged “Dark Triad” being only 3 of those dimensions, obviously ), Trump has moved deeper into darkness…

Why bother ignoring that?

Why not accept that that’s accelerating?

& there is a consequence of it accelerating, too…

Trump won’t tolerate his rule to be pruned by any “Constitution”, so therefore he HAS to throw the US of A into war, of some kind, to such a degree, that the Constitution then is obliterated from constraining him.

Canada is his only geographically-usable target, for the scale of war that he requires.

Remember what Russia did to Ukraine, in Mariupol?

Trump’s going to be doing to Canada what Putin did to Ukraine.

2028-ish, -/+ 1y.

The escalation ( world-scale ) isn’t going to magically “just calm down”, it’ll keep escalating, even if it has to change-form, or change-focus, or change-direction, in various ways, at various times, but the fundamental unconscious-tantrum-pogrom, aka myth-enactment, that humankind is beginning to make real, will exterminate nearly-all of the human life on this planet by the 2080’s, when it’s done… ( at best ).

Status Quo won’t “protect” us any-more than it did the poor millions who got dragooned into WW2.

It’s deja-vu all over again.

Stop mistaking the local-turbulence for the underlying-current!

Carney’s getting that wrong, now.

That will begin costing lives, here, in less than 3 years, & keep escalating until either Canada or the US is completely destroyed ( or both…

When you throw ClimatePunctuation into the mix… much of the US is going to become uninhabitable, later this century, & that’s another force making Trump have to butcher us: lose much of California & Texas to heat, & … you have to expand your northern-territory, don’t you?

Comforting naiveness doesn’t protect: it’s too-often fatal. ).

_ /\ _

There is a direct powerlaw relationship between CO2 & Earth’s stabilization-temperature…

There’s a gotcha, though:

Methane is about 82.5x as potent as CO2, at the 20y scale, & it’s up, too…

Remember that scientific-paper which was held-back/suppressed until sooo many had vetted the math, that then it was allowed to be, but was attacked by many, yet-still?

It stated simply that methane lost through leaky shipping ( of methane ), etc, was sooo harmful, that there wasn’t any way of justifying continued methane-usage…

The current planetary-equalization-temperature, given the chemical composition of the atmosphere, is over +8C.

All the models which contradict that, & which simultaneously contradict the actual MEASURED temperatures in the still-accelerating punctuation-between-temperate-planet-and-hot-planet-equlibrium-climates, are wrong, no matter how “politically established” they are.

Feynman was right: “the exception proves the model/rule/theory IS WRONG.”

At +4C, India becomes mostly-uninhabitable. China has ZERO problem with that.

California, & Texas, & Saudi Arabia also become nearly-entirely uninhabitable ( think 50+C temperatures, throughout most, in the hottest summer days ).

+9C is where we’re currently anchoring onto, and at this point it’s just nihilism ruling the world, lording the final “days” over the subjects-of-the-“titanic” regime, narcissistic authority-over-others, consuming all they can, while crashing the world-“ship”…

Saudi Arabia, obviously, will simply take whatever other-territory it needs: it is a kingdom, not a civil-rights regime.

Who will Texas war against, to take territory permanently from them, when Texas is becoming uninhabitable?

Somebody, certainly…

Whom will the US of A take/destroy/possess, when climate-punctuation is forcing them from their established location? Canada.

Do you see part of why Trump is committed to butchering Canada from Canadians, now? It’s actually a SURVIVAL OF THE US strategy, though that isn’t his personal motivation: he just wants to be ruler of a continental-empire, then butcher the hated woke-EU, with Putin, so they can rule the entire West, unfettered…

Criminally-negligent own-species-icide, is what humankind’s doing… for sake of … distractions, ideologies, & other “political” drugs/delusions…

===

Here is the paper which ignores the methane, including only the CO2 ( of the part that I read, of it, at least… )

https://www.nature.com/articles/nature19798

Adding-in the methane puts planetary-equlibrium-temperature, on the numbers I ran a year or 2 ago, between +8 & +9C.

Now, of course, the numbers are worse…

EITHER a portion of humankind is going to evolve, fast, relentlessly, drivenly, for most of this century,

XOR The Great Filter will force-extinguish this world’s human-category kind from Universe.

I believe that that same species-“puberty”, aka The Great Filter, controls ALL such populated-worlds, forcing maturation-or-extinguishment on every last one. Given the ratio ( who WON’T tolerate change/growing-up, and if it means killing the world, then they’re going to at-least be the rulers of the destruction-of-our-world, breaking evolution from having its transforming our world, … vs … all who honestly-will evolve, no matter what it costs us ) on this world, I’d be surprised if more than a small percentage of worlds which reach the Industrial Revolutions survives the subsequent Great Filter…

when … when adult-technology combines with animal/tribal/political population who now utterly-dominates their own ecology:

in the previous condition, nature always recovered, this unconscious-assumption is sooo ingrained, that unconscious-mind WON’T ALLOW that consequences/accountability COULD EVER touch it, … & it’s willing to kill the entire world, to prove that it “doesn’t have to” grow-up/change: unconscious-ego, is “god”, in its own “reality”…

===

If nothing-else, it certainly is educational to be caught in a world that is devoutly deranged, ideological, rejecting empiricism for “religious” ( political ) reasons, even to the point of everybody must die…

good motivation to break the reincarnation-prison that “life” is, the perpetual cycle of getting-caught-in-messes, life after life after life…

Not compatible with the New Age religions, that view, obviously…

but when you’re on a bus being driven by a murderous gang of drunks, & you can’t break their control of the vehicle, then crashing is inevitable…

one becomes tired of reincarnation, after it has abused one enough…

The Nature paper’s the single most-important document in the whole climate-issue: powerlaws rule nature, & discovering what the powerlaw is that relates atmospheric-CO2 to planetary-equilibrium-temperature discards all the bullshit-models ( seriously: leaving-out Greenland ice-melt until the 2020’s, & wondering why there’s “The Cold Blob” all around Greenland, & why the oceanic-predictions don’t work right… that isn’t science, that is politics! ),

but until the methane also is included, even this paper/model is mis-assessing, significantly.

The more people who get the underlying-powerlaw, who get the law ruling this planet’s punctuation-between-temperate-to-hot-climate, which has only begun, the better.

The stuff about reincarnation, … it was reincarnation-memories which broke all the Abrahamic-religions, for me: evidence broke the ideology of those religions, falsifying them all.

Took years to adapt-to, so-great a worldview-change… but changing one’s worldview when evidence falsified it, that is Science.

I’m only leaving the re-incarnation stuff in, because among White culture, such truth isn’t usually spoken, & if anyone needs that perspective, to break the assumptions/ideology of Western habitual belief, then maybe just seeing a different perspective will give them some leverage, so they can then do their own learning, on their own, through the meditation-experiments, the inner-yoga experiments, the deepening-of-one’s-Self, until ego is dissolving, & Soul/Continuum is awakening…

Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, eh?

IF lemmy.ml is admin’d by the Lemmy devs, themselves,

AND their ideology/prejudice is being obstructed by the Lemmy-verse,

THEN wouldn’t it be rational for them to engineer-in to Lemmy, itself, protections for their ideology?

Breaking the Fediverse’s ability to “manage” them?

or breaking the Fediverse’s ability to have any alternative-ideology be its core??

I’m thinking they could either adulterate privacy, deliberately, or they could force blocking to be porous, or something…

IOW, I’m thinking that it is strategically-incompetent to allow tankies to own our core tech, exactly as it is strategically-incompetent to allow right-wing highjackers-of-our-countries to do so.

There was a bone-conduction rig, years-ago, that went through one’s collarbones, instead of one’s skull…

it sorta draped small-scarf-like around one’s neck, & over one’s shoulders, iirc…

It isn’t Christ-ianity, as benJoseph, himself, was the wokest guy in all the new testament.

It is wearing the appearances of “their” religion while pushing animal-reaction-with-no-moral-responsibility that is going-on.

The genociders of Russia & Israel are doing the same thing, just with different appearances.

The Great Filter.

Read Daniel Kahneman’s “Thinking Fast & Slow”, which is the most important psychology book on the planet, right now, & see how all these return to fundamentalism, where we are inherently valid, and genociding all “others” is our “GOD-given” Right rabids are…

pushing Kahneman System-1 ( imprint->reaction, aka animal-reaction, the limbic “reasoning” of herdbeasts & pack-animals, and gangs, and ideology-addiction/prejudice-addiction, which are 2-sides of the same “coin” ) to be displacing considered-reasoning, Kahneman System-2, from the world, is the consistent underlying-commitment in all of these fundamentalists.

They may wear the appearances of “the communist party”, or whatever Putin’s party is, or the republican party, or zionism, or the Confucian Marxist Leninist Kapha-metabolism anti-spiritual ideology of the CCP, but the underlying motivation is murdering/obliterating alternative-to-their-ideology/prejudice from our world, for their herd/gang’s global totalitarian supremacy.

This is natural, in The Great Filter, when humankind’s unconscious fights to beat/break/obliterate moral-anxiety from its domain, and animal-reaction can’t have moral-responsibility, so that is The Answer™, according to our unconscious-ignorance.

Faction against faction, until the polycrisis/metacrisis has “justified” exterminating our world’s life, is how unconscious-ignorance wants to play it out, for the “mythic” “importance” or “significance” of being THE “important thing” that beat God, broke God’s plan, & made God obey ( toddler-tantrums are always aimed at making the parents OBEY: that is their point ).

Universe, however, can’t care, and … no obeying/catering-to our unconscious-ignorance’s narcissism/entitlement is going to happen, so…

…

WHEN you encounter an addict systematically denying facts, whether a smoker denying that their smoking has anything, whatsoever, to do with their endless coughing, or a crack-addict denying that their utterly-corroded-health has anything to do with the crack that’s using their life, or an ideology-addict/prejudice-addict denying that evidence shows ClimatePunctuation exists, let-alone is still-accelerating ( as it must, for decades-more ),

THEN you are seeing Kahneman System-1’s fighting-off of objectivity/considered-reason, protecting animal-reaction, and the no-moral-responsibility condition that unconsciousness/ignorance wants to rule all, while narcissistically being catered-to by God.

The most central piece of evidence in this mechanism is … actually so old that it probably is from about the time of the sudden-collapse of the last Ice Age, 11,750-ish years ago:

In the Christian bible, the story in Genesis, of woman eating “the fruit of the Knowledge of Good & Evil” means woman ate Morality.

It’s RIGHT FSCKING THERE.

( altruism is generalized-mothering, as researchers from Exeter & Bristol universities found hard-evidence of, in studying wasps’ altruism, in Panama )

Morality is what women ate, & then shared it with us guys.

Moral-anxiety is the “downfall” the “loss of (animal-ignorance) grace”.

Herdbeasts do not have our moral-anxiety, they live in the “grace” of mere-animal-ignorance.

Notice, however, that for millenia, religion-men have distorted the story to convict women of “sin” that somehow downfell our entire species.

Gaslighting on that scale may never have been equalled, for significance of evil.

Think, though: *it’s the same thing as what the “Christians” are doing!

Kahneman System-1 is fighting-off considered-reasoning, and all the “women, who (supposedly) caused humankind’s downfall, ought be uneducated, barefoot, & pregnant, at home, obeying their LORD, a man” scammery is just male-ego trying to occupy the earthly place of lord, or trying to be the proxy “god”.

Israel’s claiming that Ezekiel 39 asserts that it is going to be successfully eradicating its neighbors, gaining supremacy…

… while creating such absolute-hatred among all the region surrounding them, that their “deterrent” is being corroded-away …

… so that in a few years the Muslim region won’t care how much damage Israel does to them, while they’re annihilating Israel …

Ideology-addiction/prejudice-addiction has strategic consequences.

Israel’s going to be annihilated, exactly as benJoseph stated, 2 millenia ago.

It’s the same, everywhere: animal-ignorance of ideology-addiction/prejudice-addiction is committed to genociding “others”, and arranges its own annihilation, whether through political reaction, or through assumption-river/religion reaction, or through impersonal forces like ClimatePunctuation, or food-chain-collapse, both terrestrial & marine ( late this century ), the same won’t think, because God obeys the local Ideology/Prejudice … the same mechanism.

Imagine humankind turning into herdbeasts, & through the different factions vying for supremacism, the entirety of herdbeast-humankind stampeding off a giant cliff, becoming all dead, broken at the bottom.

That is The Great Filter’s probable outcome, at the moment.

the “politics” of Leninism, which uses brainwashing “education” to produce/enforce “proletariat dictatorship”,

and the “politics” of Murdochism, which uses brainwashing TV to produce/enforce “populist dictatorship”,

they’re really both fighting to obliterate considered-reasoning from all authority, for their exclusive dominion.

They’re the same thing, under the appearances.

Same with the assumption-river/religion of legalism, which benJoseph railed-against 2 millenia ago, notice that the “Christians” pushing christofascism are legalists, who play exactly the same games that the “Jews” of the Pharisees who convicted benJoseph played…

No shame, no accountability, no responsibility, only machiavellian narcissism & sociopathy/psychopathy…

Another assumption-river/religion underlying many “religious” gaslighters is the class-based-“validity” one, which both monarchy & oligarchy are examples of.

Every time you see the narcissism-body-language of a doctor, condescending to their inferiors ( use video to capture it, watch it in slow-motion, as it becomes much more visible, then ), you’re seeing that religion.

Dad was a medical-researcher & doctor: I grew into presuming the same upper-middle-class “validity” that he presumed.

7+ years of homelessness, total, throughout my life, finally broke that identity-underlying-ego, to some extent. Cracked it.

Read the book by researchers Logan, King, & Fischer-Wright, named “Tribal Leadership”, on the 5 levels ( not stages: they’re mistaken. Stages are irreversible & sequential, like caterpillar->moth. Cultural-process-levels are not irreversible-sequential. ).

They use doctors as the exemplars of narcissism-culture, identifying a simple experiment we all can do:

Wearing a suit, & belonging in it, walk into any hospital, & count the % of junior-staff who still have enough human-validity/human-dignity left in them, to meet your gaze.

Only 1 hospital, that those researchers ever encountered, had junior-staff who still had equal-human-validity in them.

Then consider narcissism-culture outside of medical-culture…

the US had over 600 mass-shootings in 2023.

Mass-shootings are narcissism, lashing-out against others’ lives, to “get even” with their wounded-narcissism.

The 4 false-religions underlying much “politics” and much “religions” are:

• psychopathic corporate-moneyarchy
• class-status-based-“validity” ( monarchy is purely this, oligarchy is the intersection of moneyarchy & class-status-based-“validity”, in a Venn diagram )
• legalism
• authority-worship

Notice how grabbed-authority-is-the-LORD is taking-over politics…

Notice how legalism is wedging-out accountability, everywhere…

Notice how psychopathic corporate-moneyarchy is fighting to prevent living-wage from existing among more & more of the world’s population, joining sadism & nihilism to psychopathy…

Notice how the narcissistic-birthright-entitlement of class-status-based-“validity” is more & more & more obviously becoming central to the fundamentalists who’re highjacking the whole world.

The “politics” and the “religions” are just makeup.

The real underlying drive, is breaking/obliterating considered-reasoning from having any authority, anywhere, so rampaging nonaccountability can be the alpha-bull, or “lord”.

It’s our limbic-brain fighting-off the cortex, or human-brain, one final time.

Never mistake the symptoms for the underlying-condition.

see the fundamentalism underlying it all.

It’s sooo simple, sooo clear, sooo … immense.

That is the only proven method,

and that is exactly why some jurisdictions require, by regulations, a fire-drill for buildings with more than a certain number of people in them:

to prevent wrong-response, including freezing-up.

Take a 1st-aid refresher every 3y at-most, and it’ll make a big difference ( every 1/2y is optimal, but more costly ).

Thanks to this post, and the other comments in here, I’ve discovered that the ultimate ui for ai-models may well be

https://github.com/ParisNeo/lollms-webui

and on HuggingFace ( that name is aweful: to me it is the creepy-horrible FaceHugger, from the movie Alien, that I saw so many decades ago ) TheBloke has some models which are smaller

https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/

so you can choose a model that will actually-work on your hardware.

I think Llama-2 for brainstorming & CodeLlama-instruct for learning programming examples seems to be the cleanest pair, from what I’ve read, and he’s got GGUF versions with different quantizations, so you can choose what will actually-fit on your hardware.

There are other models on huggingface which seem very useful, like

• whisper-large-v3 for speech-to-text,
• whisperspeech for text-to-speech,
• sdxl-turbo for image-making ( for some copyright-free subjects to practice drawing with ), and so-on…

Some models require GPU, not all.

Damn things moved fast!

There is a book “Putin Country” on how rural Russia is every bit as fundamentalist in wanting the murdering of considered-reason, diverse-thinking, objectivity, etc, as the republican rural US is: it’s the same pattern, or antipattern.

Shit-education, combined with anti-intellect culture, combined with gang-style culture/values ( our gang wins, NEVER whistleblow, or we’ll ALL murder you for betraying the herd/gang!! ), and you produce such result.

The Mongol Yoke seems to have entrenched corruption, sociopathy, nihilism, etc, into Russian culture.

the Sovyet Soyuz ( union, I think ) Socialist … I don’t know what the P ( which is an R, in our alphabet ) stood-for, in CCCP … was continuing the abuse that had already been going on for ages…

and when you prevent uprightness from living, in a population, there are consequences, whether in the Eastern hemisphere or the Western, the Northern or the Soutern, it’s only appearances that differ, not the fundamental self/others/Nature/LivingSpirit set of relationships…

Gangs work to murder-out all which would compete against them, whether US, Russian, Chinese, Arab, Israeli, it doesn’t matter.

Abuse’s supremacy produces the perpetuation of abuse’s supremacy.

This is why the only method that could have worked, in Palestine, was having an absolutely neutral government ( which Hamas would never have tolerated, nor would Israel ), and to force absolute neutrality & properness, for a hard minimum of 2+ generations, until the grudge-enforcing generations were all retired-out-from all leverage & authority.

No other method could have worked.

The idiocy of people pretending that “no bullets fly, therefore this is what Peace means!”, and indulging in incredulity when grudge-violence erupts…

How can any self-respecting person stomach that dishonesty, I don’t know.

Humankind doesn’t have the spine to earn real integrity, and real-integrity is what it’d take to clean-up our own countries, let-alone derelict-abandoned countries, ruled by organized-crime…

Notice that the White-Blue-White Russians are city people, not rural: it’s cultural, same as in the US with democrats being city slickers.

it takes multiple generations of concerted, strategically-coherent force, to break the ignorance/prejudice/ideology-additions that rule our world’s people, including us.

IF any remnant of humankind survives this century, THEN maybe they’ll succeed in earning such integrity, & be able to continue living…

that’s a big if, though, now, with the global TANTRUM/POGROM that humankind’s setting-up to “deal with” God not catering-to our toddler-unconscious…

Sorry for the rambling, but it’s all inter-related, and you can’t fix anything in isolation, no matter which country it’s in…

I’ve read that corporations who have their HQ’s in The Netherlands … are forced to get someone from some other country/culture, when searching for C-level people:

The Netherlands culture can’t and won’t be driven-enough to do the amount of work required: it isn’t sensical, in that culture, to be driven, so.

Just as your body has different organs for different kinds of function, we need to have different cultures for different kinds of people.

Without bones, how happy would you be using your liver, kidneys, brain, etc, for scaffolding while trying to stand-up??

The same is true of drivenness.

There is a season for each kind, in Nature, there is a place for each kind, in Nature, and we’d do much better, if we deliberately accepted/respected that, in our global urban-planning.

( this doesn’t say that gutting parenting, so as to have destitution-wages, to enforce attachment-disorder in the children, to produce in the next generation over 600 mass-shootings in the US in 2023, is somehow valid or proper or respectable, however.

Drivenness doesn’t require sociopathy-psychopathy/narcissism’s rule/dominion. )
