Atheism and Christianity are really two sides of the same reductionist coin. Both base their entire view of divinity on the concept of God as this pure moral arbiter whose entire purpose is to distribute metaphysical gibs to every goyfaggot in the world
Pagans, animists, etc never had this problem. They recognized that the world is full of beings/forces beyond our comprehension whose motives are just as capricious as any other living thing's, if not more. An obvious truth to anyone who has viewed the world through this lens
A person's relationship with a deity is as transactional as any other. You want Apollo's favor, you immerse yourself in things he likes such as music or athletics. What use would any god have for a person who just wagecucks and doomscrolls all day?
Stell dir vor, eine Frau geht mit der Bankkarte ihres Ehemannes einkaufen. Sie legt die Lebensmittel in den Einkaufswagen, anschließend auf das Kassenband und schließlich in den Kofferraum eines Autos, dessen Anschaffung, Unterhalt und Treibstoffkosten vollständig von ihrem Ehemann getragen werden. Danach fährt sie in die Wohnung zurück, deren Miete er bezahlt und für deren laufende Kosten er aufkommt.
Zu Hause räumt sie die Einkäufe in die Regale ein, betrachtet stolz die gefüllten Schränke und sagt:
„Das habe ich mir alles selbst erarbeitet. Ich bin zum Supermarkt gefahren, habe die Lebensmittel ausgesucht, bezahlt und nach Hause gebracht. Das alles ist das Ergebnis meiner harten Arbeit.“
„Das habe ich mir alles selbst erarbeitet. Ich bin zum Supermarkt gefahren, habe die Lebensmittel ausgesucht, bezahlt und nach Hause gebracht. Das alles ist das Ergebnis meiner harten Arbeit.“
Für die meisten von uns klingt das nach Realitätsverlust und Undankbarkeit. Natürlich war sie es, die die Einkäufe erledigt hat. Niemand bestreitet ihre Handlung. Doch wie könnte sie behaupten, sich all das selbst erarbeitet zu haben, während sie die Mittel ihres Ehemannes genutzt hat? Wie könnte sie übersehen, dass sie mit seinem Geld bezahlt, sein Auto gefahren und in der von ihm finanzierten Wohnung lebt?
1954, au cœur du vieux royaume macédonien. Tandis que des ouvriers travaillent à la construction d’une route, ils font une découverte fortuite qui va bouleverser les connaissances des archéologues : un tombeau célébrant la conquête d’Alexandre et l’Après-vie. Thread à 🧶 
Nous sommes près de la moderne Naoussa, sur la grande plaine macédonide, non loin de l’antique Miéza célèbre pour son climat tempéré, ses sources et l’école où Aristote enseigna son savoir à Alexandre pendant trois ans.
Au IVe siècle, la région est prospère et bien peuplée, fournissant à l’armée royale un escadron de Compagnons et une phalange pour la conquête de l’empire Achéménide.

Après la Conquête, ceux des Macédoniens qui choisirent de rentrer dans la mère-patrie - avec souvent une petite fortune en poche - plutôt que de servir les Diadoques se firent ériger de grands tombaux dans leurs cités natales, dont les façades sont souvent plus impressionnantes que les tombeaux royaux d’Aigai.
How to make a simple algorithmic trading strategy with a 472% return using Python.

This strategy takes advantage of "flow effects", which is how certain points in time influence the value of an asset.
This strategy uses a simple temporal shift to determine when trades should exit relative to their entry for monthly boundary conditions.

The signals for when to go short, when to cover shorts, when to go long, and when to close longs are all linked to these recurring monthly cycles.

Big Food is quietly adding BUG & INSECT PROTEIN FLOUR to your everyday groceries — WITHOUT your knowledge or consent.
PepsiCo is actively testing cricket proteins in Cheetos and Quaker Granola Oats… and now experimenting with WORMS as a protein source for drinks, snacks, and more. At least six major companies are grinding insects into flour for foods, beverages, confectionaries, butters, oils, and seasonings.
No labeling. No warning. You’ll never know it’s in there.
ADM (Archer Daniels Midland) is already producing insect-based foods in Illinois. The industry is exploding — projected to hit $4.6 BILLION in sales and 1.4 MILLION TONS of insect protein by 2027.
Here’s the dirty secret they don’t want you to see:
- Crickets are being hyped as “60% protein” — but independent testing shows only ~13%.
- Cleveland Clinic warns 30% of cricket farms carry parasites that transmit disease to humans.
- The chitin (exoskeleton) they call “digestible fiber”? NIH admits they don’t even know how the human body processes it.
This isn’t about “saving the planet.”
This is a hidden agenda to rewrite what we eat — sneaking it into your food supply without a single vote or label.

Boycott anything that touches this.
Your plate, your choice.

What is intermittent fasting?
It's not about WHAT you eat. It's about WHEN you eat.
You cycle between eating windows and fasting periods.
Most popular: 16:8 (16 hours fasting, 8 hours eating).
But the real magic happens at 18 hours.

This film was banned in Germany. I just watched it.
It opens w/a brown man suddenly, randomly stabbing a White mother in the neck as her little boy watches her die.
The plot? An American vigilante in Europe is executing foreign rapists & the judges that let them off.

The film pulls no punches; there are cut scenes to a news report that talks about migrant crime. The vigilante quotes Nietzsche, & says he is doing this "for you" (the people of Europe) until they can rise up & do it for themselves, & says everything you were taught was a lie.
There are also cut scenes of various "influencers" talking about him saying "we need this in Italy/Canada/America/etc"; the messaging is explicit, it feels like the director is putting out a very clear message w/this film; it almost feels like he is encouraging what he presents.
Everything about Net Zero is fake. The temperature record, climate models, the “climate emergency”, cheap renewables, green jobs, and even the claimed emissions cuts — it’s all built on lies and distortions. A thread 🧵(1/12)
The global temperature record has been repeatedly “adjusted”. Past cooled, present warmed to exaggerate warming. Tony Heller has documented it for years. UK Met Office stations are mostly poor quality with huge error margins. (2/12)
Climate models run too hot. High sensitivity estimates don’t match observations. Even the IPCC has dropped the extreme RCP8.5 scenario. The scare stories are built on faulty models. (3/12)
Is #Ebolaisairborne?
What does that even mean?
What are the consequences if it is? What if it isn’t?
This question was discussed on here recently. I thought I’d walk through why concrete assertions one way or the other are problematic.

Context: There is no standard protocol to tell if a pathogen is airborne
This was highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic (droplets vs aerosol)
There is a reason why aerosol scientists and engineers recognized #covidisairborne before epidemiologists.

Epidemiology is a powerful tool to determine the major route by which diseases such as HIV are transmitted. If a disease is spread via sexual intercourse, track tracing is easy.
When the pathogen spreads through the air, things are less obvious. Hence the Covid failure.

A Krishnamurti quisieron convertirlo en el líder espiritual del mundo. Pero prefirió pasar 60 años dando charlas por todo el mundo.

1. Creer que puedes cambiar poco a poco
Aquí está su idea más demoledora:
"No puedes cambiar gradualmente. O cambias del todo y ahora, o no cambias."
Esperar mejorar un poquito cada día es la excusa perfecta para no cambiar nunca.
El cambio real, decía, ocurre en un instante: el momento en que te ves tal como eres.

2. Te analizas en vez de actuar
Para Krishnamurti, analizarte es la negación de la acción.
Cuando te examinas, vas pelando capas una a una.
Eso lleva tiempo. Y mientras analizas, no actúas.
Además, si el análisis es incompleto —y siempre lo es—, cada conclusión falsa contamina la siguiente.

The South lost the Civil War. Then it won the story.
For a century, the “Lost Cause” narrative turned a rebellion to preserve slavery into a noble tragedy, violent restoration into resistance, and defeat into inherited grievance.
The Nakba narrative is its modern parallel. 🧵

Lincoln promised not to ban slavery where it existed. Seven states left the Union as soon as he was elected.
Arabs were promised a state alongside a Jewish one. They started a war immediately after Parition.

Did you know that "gossip" originates as a noun from the Old English term "godsibb," meaning "sibling in God"? A gossip was a woman who attended another woman during childbirth, that intellectual part of society was all that stood between women & unchecked maternal mortality.

Sex is a division of labor (& nothing else). Women's work in Old English society was spinning, weaving, gardening, cooking, childrearing, caring for the ill & elderly, all of which was communal. Women in feudal societies retained preclass leadership in these specific sectors.

Be it at the village well, birthing room, or oven, women spoke to one another in large groups; even more importantly often without any men around. By the time of the 14th century a gossip took on a new meaning beyond baptisms & midwifery, to that of a very close friend.

Lisbon Valley, Utah. North of Bears Ears is to be opened for uranium mining.
Still scarred from the last uranium boom, the one the EPA hasn't even finished cleaning up.
This week, the federal government decided to do it again.
The whole approval took 11 days. Tribes got a 7-day window to respond, take it or leave it.
One leader called it outrageous and indefensible. A Canadian company gets to mine it, royalty free, under a law from 1872.
That law lets companies pull minerals off federal land without paying the public a dime in royalties, a rule written for pickaxes and mules, still running the uranium industry today.
Here's the part most people will miss: the general public didn't get a say at all this time, the emergency order waived that requirement completely.
Tribal nations are legally different. The government owes them direct, government to government consultation because of treaty and trust obligations going back generations. That legal requirement still applied here. It just got squeezed into 7 days.
Who decided 7 days was enough to weigh in on land that's been theirs for generations?

Here are 13 micro-resets you can do during meetings, on shift, with the kids, mid-task - nobody around you will even notice:
1. Press your tongue to the roof of your mouth, then release.
Why it works:
It's a small, deliberate physical action that interrupts tension and gives your system a tiny reset point.
How:
Press gently, hold a second, release. You can do it mid-conversation and no one will know.

You're very likely holding tension in both right now without realizing.
Why it works:
These are the 2 spots that brace first under stress, so releasing them sends an early "stand down" signal.
How:
One long exhale, consciously let both go.
