An interesting article. Is it just trouble and drama we seek when bored, or just seek to improve things whenever we have the energy for it? In both the inner and outer worlds, work is never done and if you try to stay in your comfort zone, you will find it shrinks on you. What is your take?

On Boredom or the Perils of Prosperity

Humans think they want peace and prosperity, but few can handle the repose it provides.

"Just because a foreign government has done bad things does not mean it would be good if another government took military action to overthrow them. This is uniquely true of the United States, who is quantifiably the single most tyrannical government on earth, and whose regime change interventionism reliably causes more death, suffering and abuse than its proponents claimed they were trying to stop."

Good people don't obey bad laws. We are ruled by criminals and if you willingly comply you are their accomplice. Make them make you. It was stunning to me how the vast majority followed the deranged mandates during CONVID. The backdoors were there, at least in the UK. You could legally travel if you say you are looking to buy a house. You could legally not wear a mask if you say you are exempt. You didn't have to come out in front of the house to clap for the NHS (remember the dancing nurses?). Most did as told anyway.

"You’d think all this evidence that we are ruled by deranged psychopaths would unite us against them, but it doesn’t. The population is more angrily, bitterly divided against itself than ever. "

"Manufacturing, possession, or distribution of mRNA injections would be prosecuted as terrorism, carrying penalties of up to life imprisonment if a violation results in death." Quite a distance away from 'Clap for the NHS' hour and 'A Shot to Save the World'.

What a load of FUD. I have been using GoS in the UK for years now with zero issues so sorry, "⚠️ your Life or your Data ⚠️" sounds a bit exaggerated. The message is "Don't use GoS unless you are a dissident" and that is a very daft message. It directly supports the dystopian Palantir/establishment view on GoS users. My view is the exact opposite - everyone should absolutely use GoS, especially if they have 'nothing to hide'. Your risk is theoretical, you may have some hassle and be asked to expose the content on your phone. You gain security and privacy for yourself and others. You provide cover for the dissidents that need it. What is the alternative? Cower and obey in the hope that they will let you live in peace? Like the ones who took the injections and obeyed the ridiculous mandates, only to live to see a law being proposed in Arizona declaring mRNA injections a weapon of mass destruction and their use criminal. We are ruled by criminals and those who willingly obey are their accomplices. View quoted note →

If your bot did something illegal, you would be on the hook to prove you didn't ask for the illegal shit, and that it was a bot in the first place - which would be practically impossible. View quoted note →

Sounds like there was a list after all 🙃. 29 sounds like a rather small number for a total but still. Let's start a war with Iran that Israel has been pushing for since forever, it will help distract the plebs from the Israeli-run pedo ring.

David Gilmour's 'Live in Pompeii' is my favourite concert ever. Wish I was there... when it took place :) Absolutely awesome music in a magical setting.

"Under our current system the easiest way to set yourself on a trajectory from millionaire to billionaire to trillionaire is to exploit workers, crush your competition, plunder the available resources of the global south, externalize the costs of industry onto society and the ecosystem, bribe the government to advance your corporate interests via lobbying and campaign donations, contract with the most murderous military and intelligence agencies in the world, and psychologically manipulate the public into consuming products and services they don’t need."

According to Alter AI, "Greenland is one of the most resource-rich — yet underdeveloped — territories on Earth." It's strategic value in a world with depleting resources is huge and now the US is poised to take it. They failed to damage Russia in any significant way through their Ukraine operation, but they did destroy Russia / EU ties and all potential for joint defense of that island. Now they will capitalize on that. Western Europe is little more than a museum of past greatness and like the Louvre, it is going to get robbed.

I am no fan of police killing people, but misrepresented data really bugs me. These absolute figures ignore population size differences, which in the case of Australia is about 13 times lower. It also ignores the working conditions for policemen. The number of policemen killed by the public across those countries shows a similar pattern. People killed by police per 1mln citizens: US - 31, Can - 7, Aus - 4, UK - 0.4 Police killed by public per 1mln policemen: US - 740, Can - 360, Aus - 150, UK - 100 All of the above is completely blown out of the water by the number of people the US has killed abroad in it's forever wars. I guess the US is just a lot more relaxed about murder than other places? View quoted note →

Sitting for more than 8 hours a day is very bad for you, but if you drink coffee it's much less bad.

Study Finds Coffee May “Cancel Out” the Mortality Risks of Sitting for Long Hours Each Day

Among adults sitting more than 6 hours a day, coffee drinkers had ~23% lower all-cause death risk than non-coffee drinkers.

"Every normal person will tell you they want peace and abhor mass-scale violence. Then the mass media start doing what they always do and churning out stories about atrocities in an empire-targeted nation, and all of a sudden people find themselves supporting airstrikes on that nation’s capital, and believing they came to that position all on their own. This happens because most people are unaware that the western news media do not exist to report the news. They exist to administer propaganda on behalf of the western empire."
