I’m reading Surveillance Capitalism right now, chapter “Rendition from the Depths” and had the bizarre and upsetting thought cross my mind:
Does TikTok (or any other feed-based app with camera access) use facial recognition on active users to emotionally read them and determine what content to feed them? Do they know how to emotionally/behaviorally guide their users into engaging further with the product? Do they prioritize that (product engagement) over any other imperative - such that, if it’s apparent that a user remains engaged with the product when anxious or angry, is the feed designed to keep the user anxious or angry in order to keep them engaged? Phew

when I go on the train 🚄 I look at the other people 👥 and it's incredible to see how without exaggeration, I would say that 80% of the people are stuck on their phones 📲 just swiping up with their finger, and watching short video after short video and so they go from one station to another only that they swipe their finger completely trapped, the other percentage goes in chat conversations, reading or playing maybe but for the most part they are trapped with their finger ⤵️

I think we tend to attach our egos to our ideas too much. We claim ideas (and ideologies) as “ours” and as such, we define ourselves as those ideas, and we get offended if someone challenges or criticizes them. In reality, ideas are just “out there,” like a field where you can pick yours, or radio stations that you can tune in and out of, or like love, or God. None of those are anybody’s, yet they’re everybody’s. They are also not static. Like life itself, those concepts and the meanings assigned to those words evolve and change over time, according to the culture, environment and circumstances.
reply
Takeaway of the day: Current behavioral foundations based on egocentric objectives are weak and destined to collapse. Modern earthly values have been instilled by the predominant globalist way of thinking. Only a spirit that leads our existence towards transcendent and eschatological objectives, rather than material or earthly purposes, can bring us back to balance, fulfillment, and happiness. Our divine nature derives from the fact that "God made us in His image and likeness" and not from the belief that we are ready to replace God through technological advancements.

we constantly screw up our true potential by following someone's demented or psychopathic ideas, because they reimburse well, and our income depends on these ideas.

Also, now Wikileaks has more thar 4.000 BTC worth of 250M. What will they do with all that money and btc now that Assange has good control of it? I know that Assange is a pro bitcoiner and won't do anything that will affect it, but its another account to follow.

what is a good source of learning paleo-hebrew basics, pronunciation, simple speech? i know some hebrew, but have not spoken or read in it for many ages. honestly i suck at reading and writing, but i get the basic speech pattern, make out some stuff, and can talk back with somewhat proper basic grammar.
i was listening to jack dorsey's 1 minute excerpt on free will in reverse, and i can definitely hear some repeating patterns.

Two types of people that don’t like bitcoin..🤔
The central bankers and political class because they don’t control it.
Communists, socialists, statists because they want central planning and they don’t like decentralised systems.
reply
it's not just a "dislike" for decentralized systems. the objective of both national and international socialists is to abolish all private property. then, according to socialists, the magic of redistribution will work.
properties such as life, creations, true knowledge, time, dignity. to abolish property by decree and violence goes against the laws of nature.
we need to get the terms straight, explain it to people like they're a 'tarded 5yo, and present solutions. project your voice clearly and confidently.
reply
I don’t disagree. It gets quite dark when you deeply examine the core beliefs of some socialists and what they would do if they got into power. There’s people in my immediate family like that so it’s a sore point.

In my country, we celebrate Youth Day. I was unceremoniously roped in to be part of the dance crew for a teacher’s performance. Reluctantly dragged my feet for rehearsal today because this meant that I was sacrificing a free afternoon, my ME TIME! But as I fumbled with the steps and talked to colleagues who I don’t interest with much, I felt better at the end of the rehearsal.
So it’s true what they say. You need to give energy in order to get energy.
reply
The heat wave finally broke. I feel good. Then I remember Assange is free. I feel better. Then my cynical friend texts me to say something to the effect of "brilliant move by the U. S. Take the issue away from Trump, and now that he's free in Australia it will be much easier to kill him." The guy knows how to ruin my morning.

That "plead guilty" is not freedom. I would prefer to die but not "plead guilty" for something I haven't done. You were trained in the legal system, so you know very well what really is "pleading". As Lux presented in one of his pills here: #581259
Something is very fishy in all this story. I have the feeling that is all fake. They killed him and this is a double, playing their dirty game.

It wouldn't make him on equal grounding, though.
reply
I think he gave up too early, if he held up a bit longer I bet he would have better terms as he was literally testing their patiences. Plus he's going back to Australia, like WTF they aren't that much better then the U.S.
reply
Thanks for clarifying.
reply
From what I read it's all done. He was sentenced to "time served." If that's true, they may not specify what counts. In other words, the embassy time might not count. Probably just since the extradition started.

Officer in Court

If there is a police officer in court who is going to give evidence against you, then get them under oath. However, they cannot swear an oath as a police officer, as they are allowed to lie in court, so you must get the private living person, who is acting as a police officer, under oath.
Ask the Clerk of the Court:
“I require [Name of officer] to be sworn in under oath, but not as a police officer but within their own standing.”
Note: do NOT refer to the person as a police officer or mention their PC number, just refer to their full name.
For example: it is not PC John Doe, it is just John Doe.
Note: the word status within this court takes on a “legal meaning” and refers to the “status” of your “legal fiction” or “corporation”, so you must use the word standing, which refers to “standing on the land” or “law of the land”, meaning they are personally liable and cannot hide behind a title or office.
If the police officer refuses, then ask:
“Why are you, [PC name] refusing to be sworn in under oath?”
Note: if someone fails or refuses to swear under oath, then their testimony cannot be heard in court.
