We all experience the seasons differently, because while we all experience them the momentum we have or lack thereof determines on a linear scale what will unfold, but this infinity and plurality of individual experiences does come full circle if a life is fully lived according to the time allotted to it based upon its primary driver of behaviors and how they affect our thinking within a much larger whole of humanity.

Have you ever had moments in your life where through someone's eyes you saw your future that manifested 10 years later?
[14:04] <BAnt0s> Where the sole experience you know and its uniqueness dissolve ephemerally, a simple refactoring of what has already been done, echoing recombinant DNA, multithreaded you sense a pattern that you could call fate being woven into your destiny. "This thing will come to pass" "If you do not find a way, no one will" "This thing will come to pass but in the season that is required of it" and any attempt to seize the day if not done in season tests the very fabric of your belief in God's mercy belied by all the bitterness of tasting fruit before it is ripe.
[14:22] <BAnt0s> We're all connected to each other in that sense. There's a lot of wisdom of doing things in season and not letting your head or heart get possessed by the future you see, or pretend that it isn't upon experiencing this phenomena going to happen.
[14:25] <BAnt0s> Because at the end of the day thinking's purpose is to prevent premature death of the individual who practices it. But also when you add the element of love and empathy into this you also see a door or portal.
[14:25] <BAnt0s> You receive information in your heart too.
[14:26] <BAnt0s> And it is almost like a timestamp that helps you act in season.
[14:26] <BAnt0s> It's not the singularity but the syncopation
[14:27] <ReallyJack^D> kind of
[14:27] <BAnt0s> just had to share that sentiment with someone
[14:28] <BAnt0s> I just experienced this phenomena again today.
[14:28] <BAnt0s> That sudden change of pressure into the exact opposite.
[14:29] <BAnt0s> And I found myself looking thru the eyes of this man in his 30s who was in my Interdisciplinary Iquiry class.
[14:29] <BAnt0s> In classic tragedy there is a word for it
[14:30] <BAnt0s> peri·pe·teia | \ˌper-ə-pə-ˈtē-ə : a sudden or unexpected reversal of circumstances or situation especially in a literary work
[14:31] <BAnt0s> I could understand him, but did not know his experience.
[14:31] <BAnt0s> And now upon living the years he has left behind, I know him.
[14:32] <BAnt0s> It's a feeling of deja vu but in your heart.
[14:32] <BAnt0s> "I know this feeling, but I don't know where its coming from"
[14:32] <BAnt0s> Or rather "I see that feeling and this is the manifestation"
[14:33] <BAnt0s> and then "this feeling has manifested that experience of being"

The stone that the builders rejected...

God is building himself a church out of the world's rejects. He is giving them the Holy Spirit and they will be his priests in the kingdom to come. 1 Peter 2:4-5 4 Coming to Him, a living stone — rejected by men but chosen and valuable to God — 5 you yourselves, as living stones, are being built into a spiritual house for a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God (YHWH) through Jesus Christ. Everything else on this planet is a delusion preached by people who do not have the Holy Spirit. This is why there are over 40,000 different Christian denominations who are all teaching different biblical doctrines. If they all had the Holy Spirit, then they would all agree on the same biblical teachings. 1 John 2:27 27 But the anointing (the Holy Spirit) which you have received of him abides in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing (the Holy Spirit) teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it (the Holy Spirit) has taught you, you shall abide in him. 1 John 4:5-6 5 They are from the world. Therefore what they say is from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God. Anyone who knows God listens to us; anyone who is not from God does not listen to us. From this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception. John 14:16 (Christ speaking to the born from above-Elect) 16 I (Yeshua) will ask the Father (God-YHWH), and He will give you another Counselor (the Holy Spirit) to be with you forever. 17 He (the Holy Spirit) is the Spirit of truth. The world is unable to receive Him (the Holy Spirit) because it doesn’t see Him or know Him. But you do know Him, because He remains with you and will be in you. 2 Corinthians 4:3 3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. (Without the Holy Spirit, a person cannot understand scripture.) 1 Corinthians 2:10-15 10 Now God has revealed these things to us by the Spirit, for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man that is in him? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we may understand what has been freely given to us by God. 13 We also speak these things, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people. 14 But the person without the Spirit does not welcome what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to understand it since it is evaluated spiritually. 15 The spiritual person, however, can evaluate everything, yet he himself cannot be evaluated by anyone. 1 Corinthians 1:19-31 19 For it is written: I (god-YHWH)will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will set aside the understanding of the experts. 20 Where is the philosopher? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn't God made the world's wisdom foolish? 21 For since, in God's wisdom, the world did not know God through wisdom, God was pleased to save those who believe through the foolishness of the message preached. 22 For the Jews ask for signs and the Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Gentiles. 24 Yet to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is God's power and God's wisdom, 25 because God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength. 26 Brothers, consider your calling: not many are wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth. 27 Instead, God has chosen the world's foolish things to shame the wise, and God has chosen the world's weak things to shame the strong. 28 God has chosen the world's insignificant and despised things— the things viewed as nothing—so He might bring to nothing the things that are viewed as something, 29 so that no one can boast in His presence.

Corporations as Giant people, granted suzerainty thru a monopoly of economic domain, which projects power thru the marketplace thru cult, propaganda, and political clout

originally aired in early 2018

"As hundreds of millions of Chinese steadily rise into the middle class, no company wants to miss out on that lucrative commercial opportunity. But that also means increasingly accepting China’s view of the world over Washington’s."

I loved this inclusion of geopolitics and consumer purchasing power. Still remarkable is the idea of China in all this from a conceptual standpoint. Here you have a nation on which so many axioms rest, which seem to contradict one another and continues to defy odds, and in turn our a priori reasoning. For example many definitions of the Nation-State of Taiwan exist. The state of that Nation whereby it finds its sovereignty tied to China, de jure, but de facto it operates as a lesser sovereign economically, because while it is protected politically from the force of military occupation thru its trade networks it has in some ways become part of a Protectorate, where who it is and how it functions is at the mercy of other Nation-States who have the largesse to determine how Taiwan can act.

One has to consider the amount of power Corporations have to shape the political landscape and how easily the profit motive has undermined the suffrage of nations, and this contradiction is the same gate that China may now enter by using Consumerism as a weapon against national integrity and cultural identity.

Large, multinational corporations today have brought back the our conscious understanding the idea of suzerainty, wherein a corporation's only duty is to create profit for its shareholders has elevated it to a level of a state actor, and due to its economic influence acts as a lesser sovereign within its monopolistic domain, creating internal, self-subsisting networks, based on its appetite, which create corporate cultures and political agendas that go against our own Constitution, creating two contexts for the Law to be administered in order to maximize State power and Corporate profit. The state of a Nation, and the nation of the State, become ever more important when considering the effects of foreign investment and global capital on the political landscape. Maybe I've missed the mark or have my concepts out of order, but the reality I see is that each private citizen is already a corporation, just as the corporation is a person, transposed.

 We've reached a new kind of Triffin dilemma, where provisions given to large multinational corporations come at the cost of our personal liberty and suffrage. We need to update our definitions on how the world is actually operating, or at least highlight real abridgements that the average person has in the legislative process.  but this one seeks to update the ways we think about "de jure" "de facto" "sovereignty" and "suffrage", because as it stands now Corporations are considered people. All it takes is time to widen what that actually means, but not before we are engulfed in culture and political unrest due to the saturation of capital, subsidy, and protectionism needed to create corporate giants.

If gender is not sex and sex is not gender, then how many other things can be turned into an axiomatic diad

One reason I see this happening is that "white pride" and identification with ones inherent "whiteness" and culture is an act of racism or white supremacy in of itself. At the same time, people who have no connection to their ancestry or connection to their heritage or point of origin outside these borders will police others or claim others as their own without their consenting, and are simply White by definition with others of their designated color "accessories." For instance, those who readily defame and attacked a Caucasian for being proud of their Italian ancestry and heritage as some kind of fetish or need to be unique, instead of simply being proud of their heritage. Colorism has that effect. At one point Italians weren't considered White by any standard, neither with the Irish. Even more astonishing is that many folks forget that not all Italians who immigrated to Ellis Island could even converse with one another because some came from regions of Italy with mutually unintelligible dialects with even Italians being prejudiced towards other Italians based on the customary difference between their cultures. Europeans themselves have distinct cultures of their own with their own customs and manners just like any other people. If you have an ancestor that is Italian, then you share citizenship by right of blood relation - a geographical point of origin has no bearing. Maybe this is part of the American phenomenon and experience? Having insecure or loose attachments with broader society, not feeling accepted or directly/indirectly alienated from your point of origin, yet being expected based on pressures to choose your loyalty or find a middle path between two extremes where your physiological characteristics play such a role. At the same time, you have communities of people whether they be Black Hispanic Asian - any non-white or non-Caucasian culture banding together and taking pride in who they are but at the same time there are people from these communities who don't entirely fit into the orthodoxy they were raised in due to the fact that some grow up having friends of different cultures, faiths, and ethnic origins. Distinctly "American" - what is that exactly? Maybe Uprootedness is simply a consequence of Modern life that some escape having been where they are for generations. They're grounded. There are distinctively American traditions and they are rooted in ethnicity as a point of origin, but could you call them strictly White or Black at this point? Black folk, Natives, and Immigrants from various countries all over the world - not just Caucasians - have contributed to our government, culture, and cuisine. Denying White folk the ability to take pride in themselves actually contributes to negative attachment or natural identification of the culture of one's parent of birth. People, in general, will grasp to any culture they feel more of a connection towards and go for it. There's identity and then cultural relics that are associated with it. In what instance is this appropriation inappropriate and where does this simply become acculturation and assimilation cross-culturally? Caucasians are accepting and practicing Eastern religions like Hinduism and even Sikhism which have very outward expressions of faith. There are many instances all over the world where culture transforms into a fanatical cult of whether it be by color, style, or shared beliefs which then go about policing other's behaviors with zeal. The reality is, is that culture has always been a fluid thing so long as cultures must conduct business with others outside their community whereby some grow up in the middle. What of the Caucasian children who were raised in Native American communities? Would you pity them, suspect them of being up to no good, or could you believe them when they actually identified as the tribe they were raised with regards concerning? Many have come to suspect that what happened at Roanoke was simply that the colony failed because it had assimilated. After several generations the children become more assimilated and accustomed to others who don't share their ethnic backgrounds and as such are more likely to marry across racial, ethnic, and cultural lines. Eventually, this Gender is not Sex, Sex is not Gender will result in the Race is not Culture, Culture is not Race will end up leading us back to the point: do our genetics predispose us for certain psychological precognitive traits and attributes based on the physiological manifestation of how we look? This can be weaponized in a very bad way. Isn't this the dilemma that transgenderism presents us? Mental illness is allowed to create artifice in such a way as to construct a path of reasoning through unnatural exposure to hormones which have physiological manifestations that we can identify as belonging to sex, not their one assigned at birth via medication, which also changes behavior and the brain. What role does genetics play in psychology but also the psychology that creates culture, concentrated within a locality that can have a direct influence on those who come into contact with it such that this change can be measured? and of these cultures how are others drawn into the pattern of these group psychologies simply due to exposure directly or indirectly through the manifestations of culture in their environment growing up. Then on top of this we have the effects of mass media, commercialisation, hollywood, consumerism. Myers-Briggs has already found that there is a predominant personality type that is held by a large number of persons in a population and so it makes sense that some don't fit in, who then seek out other cultures, and thus trade is established. I mean how is it that Europeans have so many stereotypes for each other if they themselves didn't have an overarching consensus of what is typified as a French perspective or an Italian one if it were not a genetic component or predisposition - a condition that is magnified in the presence of others who share ancestry in a region and do not move far from the place they were born. I've seen Africans who move to America call Black Americans trash and other expletives. There are many Black Americans who are more American than those who came from Europe only three generations ago, having been here for over seven generations.

Antifa destroy unity by individual, selfish acts of anarchy

These ANTIFA always stealing the silent Majority's thunder so they can vandalize with impunity. This were civil protesters, not an opiate induced mass of revolutionaries who want to loot and enjoy hedonistic indulgences. They weren't advocating the end of Capitalism; they were making political demands based on the destruction of their livelihoods at the hands of incompetent politicians. These protests have so much in common with the WTO in Seattle much of it to do with China's entrance into free trade talks despite their glaring human rights abuse and lack of regulation. The extreme Left are radical Communists in appearance but have actively demonstrated their anarchic attitudes without any form of discipline or integrity due to it becoming a form of political personality cult and have been known to astroturf and consort with Police to the extent that they are bedfellows as part of the Establishment in order to justify Authoritative measure against protests which demands further reciprocity instead of turning the other cheek for the sake of civility. Ironically, they are Stalinist or Anarchic AstroTurf against the Common Small-Business Capitalist in the same way that the Globalist government is Fascist against the Common Frenchman. To hell with the gloryhounds what does it matter to them the consequences the rest must bear for their self-indulgence? It is interesting how similar ANTIFA is to trans-national powers by mechanism alone. Why would a protester in good faith, acting with integrity towards the righteousness of their struggle, mar the symbols of their country they love with anarchic symbolism and gestures that threaten their legitimacy in the eyes of the People? We must learn from the past and especially from Simone Weil during the Great War who actively engaged the atrocities of her Era. She came to the understanding that, " It is not religion[as the Marxist scholars would have it]  but revolution which is the opium of the people."

Musings opining diatribes: resurfacing old wounds and new avenues.

<+yuriwho> when I was younger I believed that souls were just short term pools of energy stored by an individual over a lifetime but shared back to the ocean after death.
<+BAnt0s> I actually like that.

<+yuriwho> what is dark matter?
<+yuriwho> what is dark energy?
<+yuriwho> why am I annoying?
<+BAnt0s> When we don't know what we know
<+BAnt0s> Means that it is also the opposite.
<+BAnt0s> I think Introjection here is a great psychological inclusion
<+BAnt0s> at least to present to it and see what surfaces
<+BAnt0s> What you don't know what you know IT controls you, you don't control it.
<+yuriwho> I am going to assume that you have some or are a student of psychology?
<+BAnt0s> "When you don't know what you know IT controls you, you don't control it." Sorry typo
<+BAnt0s> I think we should all take an inventory of what we know and don't know.

<+BAnt0s> Yeah Yuri, gissys

<+BAnt0s> People use Humanitarian efforts to do terrible things
<+BAnt0s> There's a psychological term for this too
<+BAnt0s> Trying to remember it.
<+BAnt0s> thanks yuriwho
<+pinecone> idk i think i want to learn python
<+BAnt0s> I never took chemistry, but think its one of those wonderful things
<+yuriwho> and then there is disaster porn
<+BAnt0s> Piety is a great cover for depravity
<+BAnt0s> For example, because it is an outward projection
<+yuriwho> nice line
<+BAnt0s> but a qlippoth
<+BAnt0s> It has the appearance of the thing, but inside it is hollow
<+BAnt0s> Potemkin
<+BAnt0s> There are many examples of this effect
<+BAnt0s> It preys on vanity
<+BAnt0s> Our need for appearances

<+Monopoly> hi purpleunicorn :D
<+BAnt0s> but some people are simply on a different echelon of experience

<+Monopoly> night Roserin - rest well
<+BAnt0s> Well I'm pretty much a Stoic
<+BAnt0s> You can't read as much Classics and not come away with an ample amount of that
<+BAnt0s> I am not buddhist in that regard
<+BAnt0s> But perhaps is why people might get that impression
<+BAnt0s> I believe in temperance.
<+BAnt0s> A core tenet in Buddhism is Desire and Suffering Matrix
<+BAnt0s> And how to alleviate suffering
<+BAnt0s> They used to safe limbs from war veterans if they could thru remedial surgeries and muscle grafts
<+BAnt0s> Now they just chop off the legs because the industry for those parts is booming
<+BAnt0s> I remember 10 years ago meeting a woman who was studying to be a prostheticist
<+BAnt0s> but little did she know she was contributing to an industry that profits off war
<+BAnt0s> and also, the prepuce that is done away with for sanitation is also a huge source of face cream in the beauty market
<+BAnt0s> Men literally give their prepuce away to make women more beautiful.
<+BAnt0s> And other thoughts,
<+BAnt0s> Good night.
<+Monopoly> Give yourself to the darkside
<+BAnt0s> My uncle received a muscle graft from shoulder for his leg after it was blown from a depleted uranium shell that hit his tank in Desert Storm
<+BAnt0s> but today they would have chopped off the leg
<+BAnt0s> He has pain, and shrapnel
<+BAnt0s> maybe it was unnecessary suffering
<+BAnt0s> but for some people it is worth keeping the leg, even though it bothers them so
<+BAnt0s> This is why the do no harm principle is in jeopardy today
<+yuriwho> I paid a Moyle to sew me a wallet from foreskins, best thing was when I rubbed it, I had a suitcase.
<+yuriwho> sry
<+BAnt0s> Sorry, I don't know why I succumbed to mania.
<+BAnt0s> See ya

Thoughts on the Matrix and Jane Goodall: the wuzzy line

Originally, I went into Art School, because I was misled into thinking paper was important, then I thought I wised up by pursuing a degree in International Studies, transferring as Junior, then realizing in 2009 that my prophetic vision to myself before going to University of Community College being easier work-wise than high school, but with more interesting content confounded me for a great while. As if I'd never escape this zoo, always feeling like a guinea pig going thru hoop after hoop until I couldn't jump into another hole again without any floor. If the Ivory Tower exists anymore, then it's suffering from a severe lack of retirement, and goodness. There will be no torchbearer carrying the light of Enlightenment forward. Perhaps we should blame Nietzsche for being too clever? Maybe I let the Glass-Bead Game and Ender's Game go to my head as a child? It didn't feel like I could ever graduate from high school: always more of the same, and I never even liked High School. Later, I went to the 42 bootcamp that you have to test into online, and a few others for coding and honestly, the work environment and the people in those places stressed me out quite a lot, and not because I couldn't do the work intellectually, but because I don't like working with people who are bad influences on me. Then I just started being a delivery driver for Amazon, UberEat, whatever. And sure enough, I see Amazon employees every day as I deliver them their food, and their face tells me everything. It's just not something I want to contribute energy towards. I've seen the corporate buy out of downtown Seattle and the blight zones of South Lake Union. Out of town hires literally get fleeced for all their networth when they arrive there young, fresh out of their BA degrees. We subsidized corporations in so many ways it need not be your soul. It's demoralizing and morally bankrupt: some make their peace with that but others get out or are oblivious.. Growing up in a cult gives you super powers if you escape, just like Neo. He grew up in a "cultured" pod that force fed him lies in order to harvest his energy... just like the bail bond prison industry! Unfortunately, I think he was a lucky bastard, because his girlfriend found him first and she was super okay. One of the things that I learned in all my education is that you can either be a food delivery man or you can see yourself as feeding the poor, starving masses. Going a step further by humbling yourself is a great way to decreate all egoic machinations that compelled you to go into academia in the first place, fostered by people you shouldn't have taken advice from, but didn't know any better. Don't frame yourself in a deconstructive manner. While flipping burgers doesn't pay a lot you can just call it field research, like Jane Goodall, and entertain yourself that way. Currently getting CNA training because there's a lot of old people who deserve to be treated with dignity and respect which will help me save money to parallel myself out. I'm just glad I didn't join the military, even though I say that with mixed-feelings. I actually like their programs and the discipline, but the idea of killing people for the sake of some ancient bloodline's bottom line and global agenda just doesn't sit well with me. And +White Makes Right, I get your point but as an Autistic person with a soul, some of us operate on high alert in order to save it. I didn't want to contribute a single line of code to some complex abomination. But honestly, I'd probably just get fired from the stress. I wouldn't be able to enter flow state or achieve any form of Mastery and eventually end up in a ball on the floor rocking myself to sleep is what I surmised. My love-hate relationship with technology grows by the day. Maybe it's pathological avoidance at this point in the game, as I've been branded so many times before. High-speed Hype trains should be forced to have disclaimers and also airsickness bags from all the windbags.
