I don't usually like to recommend books, unless it's with respect to a specific problem.

But if you want to understand how your mind works and how it sees the world, especially from the perspective of someone who suffered a lot or is suffering, this is a pretty good book.

It's a philosophical wandering about the nature of mind and what it means to suffer.

And it can help you understand yourself in a way you might not have previously.

It can rewire your preconceptions of what you think is valuable or real in a useful way.

And it can give you a set of cognitive tools for understanding the trajectory of your life, especially if you really tremendously suffered.

Like deep, deep mental anguish on the verge of suicide

See a few tweets discussing the EURO at 20. Reminds me of a blog post I wrote about central banking in the EU, the power of central banking, and the relationship of "central bank independence" in regard to Brexit. So I will tweet a few things from it.

1/ When the 1992 Treaty on The European Union was signed, giving unprecedented power to a new independent European Central Bank. Article 107 was of incredible importance & significance but of course politicians just signed-away.

2/ After the failed ratification of the EU Constitution, The Treaty of Lisbon was smuggled in by-the-backdoor as new rules for the EU using the 'amendments' legal loophole.

SEGA L’éveilleur®🚨 @segalink

There are many things I would have loved to share with you about my life’s journey but the time allotted is not enough to do justice. Let me just share with you the story of my self discovery for those who may be driven to think I got here overnight. #BreakingBarriers

I was a peculiar child right from my formative years. At first my parents thought it was stubbornness, then later concluded I was damn right rebellious. In those days you do as you are told without having any other ideas. You simply obey. #BreakingBarriers

I wasn’t wired to simply obey & my parents would have none of that. I was the last born of 4 with enough gaps between myself and siblings to fit generational civilizations. So there was no excuse for my parents not to try to break me based on past successes. #BreakingBarriers

Meet #Israel's #Hasbara, which means #Propaganda, MSM Censorship Application👇🤨
This app came out about last year, and it is still on the iTunes store.
The app posts daily missions & TELLS YOU WHAT TO DO AND WHAT TO SAY

6yrs ago #Jerusalem, #IDF Rep:
"we are now located in the SAME building where the Foreign Journalists are,we have close working relationships w/ hundreds of journalists. In addition we launched media project working in many platforms,twitter in Arabic, Russian, French & English."

How #Israel-i Propaganda (#Hasbara) Works: #TheLuntzDocument
If you want to understand how the #propaganda works you need to read the Luntz document -- "The Key," Luntz says, "is the Claim that the Fight is Over Ideology, Not Land. About Terror, & Not Territory."
