The reason this kind of hate is pernicious?
It leads to human SUFFERING

From orlando shooter to hypocrite preachers ~Ted Haggard

When anyone starts publicly + aggressively railing against drugs + homosexuality—the’re not signaling moral disgust...

Whenever anyone says “i wish them well”—of a competitor or a former colleague

They are lying. They trade truth for deniability disguised as phony civility

What they wish is total... told-you-so-failure somewhere between imminent destruction and slow torturous painful demise.
Case in point

Show me counter examples please
Of COURSE you can wish a competitor well and of COURSE you can wish a former colleague to succeed.

And there are many words and actions to convey it honestly

But everytime those words “I wish them well” are used in PR or post—it is not true.

Like “spending time with family”

1/ Love this...
2/ Anyone who tells you to ‘be in the moment’

Please have them consider this:
3/The one + only thing I know for sure (for me not all) is the MOST fulfilling thing one can do in life is find the right partner who you love & loves you + create little lives who love you + you cannot help but love unconditionally

Memento Mori—and don’t mess it all up.

1/ Some computers––(including by loose analogy our own minds + metacognition)––cant compute beyond constraints of the system or layer they were intended to compute w/o glitching.

Just as people of Flatland can't percieve 3D space
Or David Foster Wallace's fish can't grok water
2/ As it relates to that RECURSIVE hole of thinking about thinking about thinking––there is VERY interesting science on pros + cons of self-reflection.

I believe meditation works in reducing anxiety etc NOT b/c it pulls you deeper into yourself but b/c it pulls you up––SHALLOWER
3/ Here are some papers to...reflect on self-reflection (but not too far;)

Here are 2 deep thoughts I wrote down from an amazing #TED talk by a pretty well-known person, @MonicaLewinsky :
1- "And you know what shocked me, although it shouldn't have, was other research last year that determined humiliation was a more intensely felt emotion than either happiness or even anger."
2- "This invasion of others is a raw material, efficiently and ruthlessly mined, packaged and sold at a profit. A marketplace has emerged where public humiliation is a commodity and shame is an industry. How is the money made? Clicks. The more shame, the more clicks. [...]"

Chilling and grotesque.

Reminiscent of the arrogant, dehumanizing glee with which white folks harassed CRM activists.

Even worse somehow because these are kids abusing an elder.

Bernie Sanders accepted a donation over $200 from Exxon in 2016 lol
He broke the pledge.
Did Bernie Sanders ever give back this money?

Matthew 6:1
“Be careful not to do your acts of righteousness before men to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

So, when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.

”And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.

I could say so much here at this point about how &why the systems underlying running of all social media platforms are of limited use #human

Yesterday, Iceland's government convened for the first time after the summer break.

At midnight the next day, the government has fallen.
This one... is going to require some context.
Throughout the summer, it's been coming to light that the government has been as-good-as-secretly pardoning child molesters. Seriously.
