Old-Testament Vajrayana, battered enough by life to have grown-up some, in my nearly-6-decades, autistic geek, philosopher who finds that Western philosophers are nowhere near at the level of correct-thinking of the Vajrayana stuff, & will be tearing-into Marx, etc, for their brainos ( Marx found that capitalism alienated workers, so he replaced capitalism with communism, which somehow "didn't" alienate workers?? I've already cracked the underlying error, but that is a long article. It'll happen. & so will the dismantling of the other philosophers' bogons, the whole lot of 'em. : )

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lessons from the sea: Nature shows us how to get ‘forever chemicals’ out of batteries⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:
“The results were remarkable. Our gallol-based zinc batteries maintained 52 per cent higher energy efficiency after 8,000 charge-discharge cycles compared to conventional batteries that use fluorinated binders. In practical terms, that means longer-lasting devices, fewer replacements and a smaller environmental footprint”

Why on Earth wasn’t this research done years ago, as fundamental-in-the-field research?

This ought be front-page tech-news, actually..

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nurses Get Bitten, Spat on, Thrown. That’s Why We’re on Strike.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
It’s cultural, not employer-action, & therefore .. striking isn’t going to change anything?

Unless enforcing-accountability-on-patients becomes a thing..

but hospitals won’t EVER tolerate accountability on themselves, in my experience: the institution/gang/pack/herd HAS TOTAL IMMUNITY, to use Trump’s phrase from his ICE..

so it’ll always be selective accountability, among “institutions"/gangs/herds/packs/unions/classes/etc.

How depressing: NO amount of damage from factionalism-displacing-objectivity, will EVER be sufficient for humankind to take a sold stand against factionalism’s narcissism/machiavellianism..

Whatever: there will be other worlds: souls can go incarnate among them, after this one’s extinguished..

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Police spy tried to incite activists to firebomb shop, UK inquiry hears⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
So..

convict the person as an enemy-of-the-state, & lock them in prison.

It’d be done were they NOT police, so why hold different-law when it is police which do it?

Integrity obliges, but politics never allows integrity to enforce accountability, does it?

Never.

& the consequences always snowball, until civil-viability becomes called-into-question, again & again & again, in the repeating-cycle..

There are 2 dimensions of it, at-least:
- strategic, long-view, sustainable, AND
- creating resilience, creating better-framing, creating robust-healing.
So, MAKING time, daily, for positive/healing practice, & doing it, is the opposite of self-harm.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some users have zero upvotes on their posts/comments?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
Some of us sometimes, & others all-the-time, remove the auto-upvote, so that our posts/comments get dealt-with neutrally:

Bandwagon-jumpers tend to downvote comments/posts which have balance-is-downvote on them.

Others do the same for upvotes.

I often find I’m voting against the herd, simplly because what I’m upvoting is an actual-point, & is impacting our world, even though what-it-is that is being pointed-out isn’t “politically acceptable” to say.

Generally I upvote MUCH more than I downvote, but as Nick Yee discovered, in his Gamer Motivations research, some people are very social, but they’re very ANTI-social: they like destroying what others are valuing.

So, it comes down to the individual-person’s motivations, AND it comes down to their frame-of-reference, both: they are independent dimensions to consider.

Ah: it was the ‘90’s he did it, now I remember..

um.. how the hell could it have been developed on an 8- or 16-bit processor?

You’d need to move 32-bit procs back a decade, too, wouldn’t you?

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THE CRAZY PILLS⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Tylenol is aweful, to some degree a poison:

it’s known to significantly increase liver-cancer.

Mom used it instead of the asperine/advil type of chemicals, for that, & died of TWO kinds of liver-cancer, simultaneously ( which is something that doesn’t happen, in normal nature ).

I’m absolutely against outlawing it, because people who’re allergic to the asperine/advil family of medication HAVE to have an alternative, but .. holy moley, is that stuff aweful.

RFK’s worse, though: weaponized incompetence force-dismantling what objectivity there had been, from medicine..

Here’s nearly 700 PAGES of listings of medical-science papers on the subject, if you want to dig into it..

Many won’t be on-topic, but dig & you will find.

& people think that butchering USAID hasn't removed THE world's main mitigation-of-Ebola/Marburg/etc evil-diseases??

The Christians have, in their bible's book of Revelation, a prophecy about plagues getting our world, right?

Trump's removal of the world's pandemic-mitigation-system is the cause of that prophecy needlessly being fulfilled.

( Scientifically-Testable-Prediction, whether made by "scientist" or "engineer" or ANYbody..

I'm Empiricist, so I don't care what "source" it is who made a prediction, I care only IF it tests-to-be-true.

& that definintely is one of their predictions, & it definitely is going to prove true, now, within a decade, at most.
