One thinks you have a whole system now that tell people their primary contribution is to take pictures of themselves.

In all the technological advances one has seen, the primary change-over was social media. It's a 'me' world, not a 'we' world.

But one hopes and prays that it is a blip on the screen. People will realize their mobiles are destroying society, and put them down.

We didn't build this world, we inherited it. We woke up in a world totally designed for our welfare. And we take it for granted.

In that case we have to shun AI entirely. And make those who use it pariahs. We have to value human content much more than AI models, and depend on one another to uphold such a code of ethics.

Immigrants came looking for a better life. No doubt. But they worked for less money, and took full livelihoods away from working class people. Sorry, that's just the case. And the profits went upward instead of outward.

Then the ambitious ones were like, I'll just hire 32 immigrants at half the cost. Then 32 men lost their jobs, or were forced to take a huge payout.

Now we have AI as the new immigrants coming for white collar jobs.

Are we going to be mad at AI? Or the people who harness it to create a world that works best for them, everyone else be damned?

One thinks Americans were doers—we do stuff. That was the model. We don't just sit around and think. Europeans did that, which made them poorer.

However, even the original model has become depleted. People neither do, nor think. We wait for immigrants to do things for us, then we complain about immigrants.

Now we have a disconnect. We think ourselves into some ideological compliance, then we do nothing. Left or right.

But it is making us dumber, even high logic and high learning. Then we expect everything to be done for us.

Stay that way. Not a burn. If you can pull it off, that is the best possible solution. Much love. Best to you and yours.

That's funny. One has never taken a razor to their face in their whole life. So good call.

We use a clippers or a scissors.

If you would like to explain this incorrect assumption, that would be more helpful. But you can't actually muster the words, you just seethe anger and calumny.

Which is why you take the time to shave. Because you have nothing else to do or say.

It's not about criminals. More native born people in this country are criminals by far. Do you want to deported them as well?

It was always about deterrent. Fine. We let all these people in. But we have our own problems that we must address first.

And it is sad that so many people were affected. But the previous administration threw out all of the rules and let countless people flood in while neglecting their own population so rich people could get richer.

Now it must end. The deterrence was quite effective. And deporting was never as important as enforcing border laws.

Do we have a country or not? If thry can enforce their laws on me, why not them?

Obviously because rich people need maids and low-wage workers.

Each of your friends will have six friends, and each of them will have six friends, etc.

Or maybe you're in a cult, which is interesting.

That web, or branching out, forms a psychic linking, which creates a much larger group than you're aware that you're involved with.

Just being involved in a clique doesn't mean that clique isn't part of a broader ideological set, which is likely involved in a much larger group mind, in which you involuntarily participate.

That's clever.

Never went to university, so one is much less intelligent than you, thanks for taking the time to point that out.

There is a change coming that will force us to realize our individual potential. But first we must realize we were in Pisces, the fish period of humanity.

As we move into a new age, and the world challenges that accompany that transition, we will be forced to progress as a species.

You are like a barnacle on a whale. Wife groups herself. Women usually don't isolate for long. They are social creatures.

Beloved, that was a great response. Let us dwell on it for a moment. As siblings.

Please keep trying to capture the truth.

One just speaks to the rooster on the other side of the fence, there is no special knowledge here that cannot be found elsewhere.

Your thought expresses humility, which is a rare quality. The original theory was that 'seemingness' does not equal actual reality.

If you actually possess that knowledge, which you express ... accuracy over content ... then we are not far apart.

Much love to my siblings. We are all one. We are trying to work it out. Believe we will succeed, though the flow is infinite.

One comes from the US where rightwing people strap on boots everyday and do the hardest tasks.

Truly praying for the most fallen, ridiculous, and unforgiven country the world has right now.

UK? It's like saying 'dogfood'. It means nothing. It's sad and interesting to watch. The people who gave us the English language obviously have no ability to use it.

Conversely, rightwing people in the US are lazy in mental perspective. They simplify the most complex issues into easily identifiable patterns which are illusionary.

But one understand why. Because they do the hardest jobs, and create social stability, with their grit and determination. Higher level observations simply don't help them get the job done.

Let's do rightwing bullshit. Since we're there. You get your garbage taken away every week, on time, almost exactly the same time, and you don't have to think about it.

Go to Russia. Bridges fall down, everyone lives in the wake of a left-wing fantasy, and nobody is kind unless you have something to offer them.

Now let's do a revolution so some psychopath can take over and destroy all common decency.

Do you think Trump is right-wing? That's laughable. He's too funny to be right-wing, and has too many unclear goals.

Right-wing people have their faults, for sure, but one of them is not immodesty and laziness. It's not people who can barely keep their pants up, or have them so tight they appear to be glued on.

You can't blame a single group of thinkers. They think this way, but they are adaptable.

Look, the CIA is a serious set of people who cannot be trifled with. But they are adaptable, as are any group of humans.

We change the woeld by insisting that humans must be free. But also, free from. Free from truly nefarious actors who only want control.

Maybe CIA people are against that. Maybe that's why they do what they do.

I get that you're in favor of Iranian policies to execute 30,000 or more people who just wanted more rights for women and daily life.

You believe that because your rights have never been seriously questioned, so why would anyone else's be?

Human beings love and desire freedom. You live in a quasi-authoritarian state, so this shit seems normal to you, and you are not offended by it.

To you, peace means give me the things I want, and all is well.

You don't stop to imagine what you are missing out on. Like these women and their male supporters in Iran.

This is not a defense of Islam. It is a statement about literature.

In the category of wisdom, you basically have two camps. One says repression leads to stronger outcomes. The other says liberation does so.

It really doesn't have anything to do with literature. This culture or that culture can say, here is our guiding light.

But the literature of Islam, directly connected to Koranic teaching, seems, from a medieval perspective, to favor women. That's why it's so ironic.
