Obviously, ignoring security is pervasive, well-established, S.O.P.

Incompetence wins, because it is “normal”?

I read only a sample of this book https://www.manning.com/books/secure-by-design and its whole fundamental understanding is that our world has been using the wrong framing of security, all along.

It isn’t paint you put on finished-work, for nice highlights ( my metaphor, not theirs, I’m just trying to communicate the idea of what we’ve been doing )

Rather, it is a set of concerns that need to be kept-in-mind throughout the entire development-process.

So, more lives will be subject to identity-theft, wrongful-accusation/conviction-of-crimes, robbery, etc, because corporate institutions refused to be responsible…

Will anything make the irresponsible-authorites accountable?

Of course not: establishment protects its own.

Force-altering the framing of secure development, however, that does look like it can make our future investments be significantly less corrupt.

I have not bought that book, I have not read more than some of the sample, I’m not saying it definitively is the understanding we’re needing.

I AM saying that what the authors were saying in the part I’d read definitely is on-the-mark about us solving-the-wrong-problem, producing wrong-results ( I’d say pretending to solve problems, as what we keep proving we’re doing is fundamentally more-corrupt than merely solving the wrong problem, but … )

Manning has specials, periodically, so it should be possible to get the ebook for 40%…50% off, if one is patient, & persistent in checking their website.

I want the results we’re making to be better.

If anyone knows better means for making our results better, please correct my comment.

I realized that my incompetence-in-communicating probably added this mis-communication:

The inquisitors were Christian, right?

The fact that what they were doing went against everything their root-guru’s religion was made-of, doesn’t have any bearing, to them.

Nazism is Christian, in identity.

The KKK is Christian, in identity.

Identity has deep roots.

Cambodia’s Buddhist.

Has been for centuries.

Yes, I know that Pol Pot was Communist, but when you raise communism in a country as deeply Buddhist as Cambodia, … you end-up with many of the people in the ruling-regime having “Buddhist” identity, fundamentally in them.

THAT is what I meant:

it was the underlying Buddhist-identity, that I was attacking, and not, in any way, pretending that Pol Pot was claiming Buddhism ( which not-even an idiot would claim ).

You simply can’t raise an institution in any culture, without having that-culture being the underlying identity in the people of that regime.

That is why Chinese Buddhism is to me partially an oxy-moron:

Confucianism ( form/tradition/authority/establishment ) is sooo much of the bedrock of the fundamental Chinese mind, and Buddhism is the opposite ( essence, instead-of form, centered ), that the 2 modes of mind are fundamentally mutually-exclusive.

( this doesn’t mean that Chinese Chan Buddhism is somehow worthless: it’s got some excellent insights for us!

However, if one is working at dissolving-beyond-form, then being fundamentally of the form-and-establishment-and-authority-are-LORD religion that Confucianism is, & I’ve linked on other sites to a pair of legal-cases which show Confucianism’s bedrock instinct…

both in Japan & in China, both Confucian-culture ( Japan’s fundamentally more Buddhist & also Shinto ), people have been convicted of murders that they confessed-to, … and then the person they’d “murdered” returned to town, or was found alive.

In Confucian culture, authority is the LORD.

Authority beating people into confessing is “valid” ( and cost authority some “face” in those cases, when accountability came knocking ), for authority to do.

In OUR culture due-process is more real, in Confucian culture … it inherently isn’t.

Same with truly-Buddhist cultures, like Cambodia.

Any truly-Buddhist culture which is temporarily ( for a few generations ) highjacked by some physicalist/materialist ideology … the underlying identites of the people staffing the regime is going to remain rooted in the underlying-culture, isn’t it?

That goes all ways, not just to the traditional-religions, it goes to moneyarchy, it goes to legalism-archy, it goes to physicalism’s religion, it goes to fundamentalist-atheism, it goes to all axiom-based, system-of-meaning that rejects falsification

( which is my definition of “religion” ).

You can’t instantly get the underlying identity out, no matter how you change the apparent identity: it takes generations to do that.

( the Soviet Union lasted long-enough to change the fundamental-underlying-identity in people, not completely, but significantly )

So, you’ve proven I’m incompetent at communicating:

I meant underlying identity, underneath the party-affiliation or otherwise “flag carrying” “identity”,

but I appeared to mean something fundamentally-different.

Typical…

My inability to think the way proper, acceptable, valid, western-minds think, keeps creating miscommunications & problems.

That isn’t likely to cease, as long as I continue earning more-complete understanding, instead of remanufacturing me to make me be acceptably-conforming/“belonging”/etc.

That underlying-level & surface-level both affect outcomes, is to me sooo obvious as to be automatically-assumed.

Normals don’t assume any such thing.

Incompetence-at-communicating can have many causes.

_ /\ _

A ( metaphoric ) point that I find humankind is ignoring/denying:

WHEN you’re on a bus that’s being driven by 1 or another gang, & those gangs are fighting each-other for supremacism/dominion, & they don’t care whether anyone survives, because it is their ruling that is the only thing that matters to them,

AND THE PATH THEY’RE TAKING IS FATAL TO THE WORLD,

it doesn’t matter “who” drives the bus when it leaves the cliff: the “stampeding off the cliff” is fatal to the whole herd, see?

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is something that needs to be having ALL gov’t policies tied to it, when judging what is authorized, & what isn’t.

AND it needs to be the test for moralities, too.

Does something amplify the still-accelerating ClimatePunctuation?

IF so, THEN it has to have sooo much benefits that it’s worth it.

Does it protect the millenia-established male-bullying-female?

THEN it costs both current & future lives, and rights, and our species’ real-viability.

As many have pointed-out, male-bullying-female automatically shuts-down 50% of our brains being allowed to contribute to our surviving this-century, & that is idiotic or worse.

ALL the problems have to be seen, & balanced against each-other.

What Russia’s doing to Ukraine ( & soon to the EU as a whole ), what Trump will shortly be doing to Canada ( same as Russia->Ukraine, for the same colonial-imperial motivations ) are survival-grade problems.

Different election-systems/processes have long-term-morality consequences… making particular-futures more or less likely…

There’s an English mathematician ( redhead, kinda roundish, moved to Glasgow for professional reason, it was a yt video of his, aweful video, stupendous insight ) who identified that there is exactly 1 thing that all the most-successful complex-projects do, that none of the unsuccessful ones do:

create a functionally-complete visual-spacial model of the required system, leaving no kind of function out,

and only then begin the scaling of that model into implimentation.

Even questions of morality can be dealt-with this way, identifying that some choices extinguish us, & when people can SEE that, then our thinking changes.

It isn’t hearing-about this-issue, or that-issue, or whatever, it isn’t being reminded and holding-everything-in-our-heads,

it is SEEing it, as a visual-spacial model, so that the consequences become implied in how the representation looks, and then we can begin judging things objectively.

Now consider 2 allowed-futures, 1 where 50% of the human-lives have their life-potential stomped-on by male-supremacism, & the other where ALL humans are allowed contributing to our viability…

Which is more-likely to survive this-century’s Great Filter ( when a species that won’t grow-up has nuclear-level technologies, & does a multi-stage global tantrum-pogrom to beat/break/smash “god” into obeying unconscious-ignorances “godly” ENTITLEMENT, as the tantrum-toddler it is, that OUR OWN unconscious-mind is now enacting )?

That’s objective, not mere-opinion/cultural-opinion.

Here’s an example of competing-moralities:

Some want all internal-combustion-engines killed, today, no matter the cost.

Others want a phased switch.

I’m with the phased, but aggressive switchover people, simply because I know that if you kill all of them, immediately, then you’ve just executed the economic-viability of remote-regions, & their people.

City people don’t have a problem with policies which butcher rural lives: this is consistently proven…

& the remote lives of people who live … say in the Aussie outback, or in Canada’s north, or offshore … why should international-policy respect/value them, when they’re not where the money is, right?

But to me, you have to look at the whole overall, & consider all the effects, & balance the whole.

You can’t hold that women’s lifeworth “isn’t important enough to count in the world’s balance-sheet, because men never counted it in the past” … that isn’t good-enough.

Here’s another example of competing-moralities:

Which should we do?

Oppose the genociding of Palestinians, XOR oppose the genociding of Ukranians, XOR oppose genociding in Sudan, XOR oppose genociding in the Congo region, XOR oppose femicide in either China, XOR India, XOR here in the West?

The framing is the problem: it presumes that only 1 can be chosen.

Caving on ANY of these is … disintegrity, to be polite.

& caving on any of these will have strategic-survival consequences for our future.

The leaving-Somalia-to-piracy, and not providing them with any alternative, meant that they did convert to piracy, & now that piracy-economy can’t be removed: it’s now a whole world shipping problem.

The leaving-northern-Mexico-to-the-drug-cartels and not breaking that from ruling that country’s civilization, means that now those drug-cartels can’t be removed.

What we allow to set-deep-roots bites our future in the face, with venom, consistently…

All this to say, that … yeah, sometimes morality is objective, in spite of what the absolute-relativists pretend.

Red-meat based diet isn’t only economically strategic-suicide, & health ( yes, the heart-attack-rate is increased by eating red meat, no matter which country one is from ), but it’s also ecologically-suicide.

Opposing those facts is ideological/moral for some factions.

But objectivity must override ideology, XOR we, as a species, are … finished, this-century.

In Science there is a fundamental-principle: IF the experiment contradicts the theory, robustly, & it isn’t some confounding-factor, THEN the theory’s falsified.

Feynman was big on that.

Ideology-based “science” IS NOT Science, see?

All who hold that all questions of morality are only-cultural-opinion, & that there is no objective-standard that can validly be applied… the evidence contradicts that.

“it’s all relative” is an ideological position, but the fact that some choices produce greater-slaughter whereas other choices reduce harm … is real, is objective, is fact.

So, no, I do not accept that morality is only opinion/culture-habit, and is not in any way objectively-testable or objectively-measurable…

The problem is in finding which values are long-term, vs which aren’t,

in finding which values are concentration-of-benefits-to-few/eradication-of-benefits-from-many & forcing the measurement-system to correctly-identify that as narcissism, as it objectively is ( instead of the propaganda-is-“journalism” system we now have, brainwashing all the discussions )

in finding which values uphold the LivingPotential in all lives, vs the values which only value some lives’ potential…

etc…

Eventually patterns of bias become visible, & then one has to remember that universe’s Natural Selection law is going to be the final judge.

Our opinion isn’t what kills us when we stampede-off-a-cliff, right?

It’s the fact that we indulged in making-believing & now our bones & body-lives are broken, right?

The question of whether incompetence/intentional-ignorance is a socially valid decision, however: certainly it’s socially valid.

Stupid, but socially valid.

Humankind has every right to force its own extinguishment, while making-believing in ego-games, all it wants!

But there is “morality” in that snuffing-of-all-future-generations, too, isn’t there?

No, I do not stand with the “it’s all relative: no objective-standard for any moral-question exist, nor can it ever exist, & we ought just accommodate prejudice until it ceases perpetuating-itself, that’s the proper moral stand”.

Exactly as Martin Luther King, Jr, stated: accommodating injustice anywhere, is a moral crime: it means that fundamentally, one is accommodating injustice, & that has consequences everywhere.

Our world’s in a survival-of-the-fittest stage, natural for this level of population-saturating-the-planet, & which morality survives this-century will be decided by questions of moral-darwinism AND by questions of did-humankind-survive-or-not.

Women having equal-validity increases the odds of humankind-surviving this-century.

Women not being allowed equal-vality decreases the odds of humankind-surviving this-century.

The same is true of the question about oligarchy/corporate-feudalism/monarchy/etc … various concentration-of-rights-and-exclusion-from-rights paradigms.

Objective-morality requires that civil-rights stand against such privilege-rules-exclusively paradigms.

This, itself, is objective morality, in action.

( everybody, feel free to block me, as all logged-in people can do … see only what you want to be seeing, right? )

I knew, when writing, that some salts are functionally insoluable ( lithium-fluoride, I’d read, pretty-much doesn’t dissolve in water ).

I’d hoped that I’d phrased it carefully-enough, but obviously didn’t.

Definitely thank you for identifying that the salt specific to thorium-salt reactors isn’t at room temperature going to be easily dissolveable into our environment…

but … I’ve also learned that hot-chemistry can be drastically different from room-temperature chemistry, & after all the … gaslighting … of various industries, through the past decades…

I want systematic & thorough testing to see what that salt can react with, under its entire temperature & pressure regime, before anybody signs-off on it.

“hands off” is a very polite way of saying it, Hoomin…

& I’d never thought of marble as a salt, you got me on that point!

The culture that Pol Pot was of, was Buddhist.

The country was Buddhist.

The regime took people from Buddhist culture & created that.

Cultural-roots do count.

Ideological-roots do count.

That is exactly why Trump is succeeding in his religion’s possessing of the US of A: cultural-roots are leverage.

To me, the “Christians” of Trump’s regime, the “Buddhists” of Pol Pot’s regime ( was the country culturally communist-party, before his regime, for the 3-4 generations required, to define the culture? No? then there had to be many still “Buddhist” people in that regime ), the “Jews” of Netanyahu’s regime, etc, are all playing the same game:

they are having motivation opposite-to what they are purporting to be.

That is significant, in my view.

Historically significant, & significant in whether our-kind survives this century, or not, too.

Sorry, my point is that there are fundamentally-different-motivations, & that fundamentally-different-motivations have to be treated differently, legally … exactly the same as people-without-family can probably work significantly more hours per week than can people-with-children-to-care-for.

It isn’t a question of just putting overtime above 40h/week, it is a question of having 2 distinct populations in the same workforce, & you don’t make the law ignore 1 of them, not the with-family people, AND not the without-family people.

From the Abstract:

“Our analysis reveals three critical success factors: (1) higher carbon prices per capita are essential for carbon reduction, (2) the necessity of penalties on carbon price per capita from EUR 20–EUR 100, and (3) expanded market coverage maximizes impact. To address global disparities, we propose a Uniform Carbon Pricing Mechanism under the Global Carbon Resilience Framework (GCRF), based on carbon price per capita tiered pricing: EUR 100/t (developed), EUR 30–50 (developing), and EUR 5–15 (least-developed countries). This balanced system supports vulnerable regions while cutting emissions, proving that fair carbon pricing is crucial for climate goals and economic stability.”

Those points look sane, to me.

The whole “dark factory” thing was invented by the Japanese, decades ago, ttbomk.

Huge factory, no lights on in it, simply because there weren’t any humans in it.

Patrols for surprise-errors/mistakes/malfunctions were done by flashlight.

Japanese-management got things down to a few cosmetic-blemishes per million units back in the VCR days.

Their quality-control was 2nd to none.

That other Asian industries can learn from the Japanese, in ways that our culture prohibits us from doing, shouldn’t be surprising.

All the people who insist that the only thing that China produces is shit-quality “Chinesium”, iPhones were produced in China for years ( no idea if they still are, & don’t care ) and those things were far tighter quality than anything I’ve ever built, or than anything ANY of the North Americans I’ve worked-with have ever built.

China produces a spectrum, ranging from shit-quality to stunning-quality.

Same as we do.

Ideological “glasses” blind us, they don’t “help” us see what’s actually going-on.

& as another already-identified, “robotics” in no way implies humanoid.

Car-manufactories have been using giant robotic-arms for series-spot-welding for … decades, now?

I’d do all the fuselage-riveting of old-style sheet-aluminum aircraft by robot, if I was a manufacturer of those things:

once you get the programming right, then you don’t have “human error” sabotaging your product-integrity.

It’s the same at all scales: what we are good-at, isn’t what robots are good-at, & either we segregate the work so that we are doing the adaptive/innovative/human-process-centered stuff, & leave all the mechanical-repitition to robots, XOR we’re sabotaging our own competitive-ability.

Exactly as the “strategy” of letting the short-term bottom-line now proves, when Asian industries invest strategically, in future-competitive-capability.

Decades-ago there was an example of the US steel-industry: they coasted on their establishment, while Japan invested in more-precision-chemistry & better foundries, then … after some years, those investments came on-line, & the US steel industry, which couldn’t compete with that, just got the US gov’t to establish protectionism, to tarriff the Japanese steel industry, to protect the anti-strategic US companies.

( this is from one of the strategic-management textbooks of Blackwell: it’s literally a reference-text case )

Accountability won’t ever be tolerated by opportunistic-authority, including industry-incumbents, therefore “protectionism” damages the market to protect the anti-strategy of the incumbent players at the cost of our world’s finite-opportunity.

That is normal: S. O. P.

Different cultures value different things.

Some people value making things right, whereas other people value corrupting everything that they can, as much as they can, for sake of how much the “get away with” ( the word “shoddy” is actually the real name of a guy who established that paradigm in the US )

We wouldn’t invest in what Asia’s invested-in: why should we have any ability to compete?

That is our “strategy”.

And when we are economically-butchered by our “strategy”, then … then the oligarchs will simply protect themselves, & exploit the then-current situation, same as now.

Nothing changes, fundamentally…

_ /\ _

Yeah, but WE pay, the oligarchs, in their privilege-bubbles, don’t.

That’s why they’re into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerationism , aka torch-us-so-they-get-golden-rulership … style of driving our lobbied/bribed “governments”.

WHEN one ideologically-rejects that souls have any future-Eternity, any “reaping of what they have sown”, as the root-guru of the Christians rendered the concept “karma”,

THEN torching-our-entire-future-for-narcissistic-momentary-pleasure is logical , rightttt?

Political-systems invariably divorce authority from accountability, and that itself proves political-systems unfit for ruling our world.

Responsibilityarchy’s the only survivable alternative.

Human-habit opposes responsibilityarchy, with its automatic-accountability mechanisms, more-fundamentally than it opposes ideology-rule, by far.

IF it’s a salt, THEN it could easily be dissolved into whatever dissolves that salt ( like, you know, water ).

Scrap gets rained on, & salts washed away, going into the waterways…

I’m not saying that is what happened, this time, but I am saying that if they’re using radioactive cesium salt, then they’re creating extra risk, that wouldn’t be the case if they were using a solid pellet of metal.

( this, obviously, applies to the spent fuel from any thorium-salt nuclear reactor, too: salts dissolve! Containment that is absolutely proof against that, for the entire required duration, … may not be possible, for some long-duration isotopes, right? )

That it isn’t an international-criminal-law offense to have such materials immediately taken to radioactive-waste-management, … is … morally-criminal.

Allowing it to just happen, when normal people aren’t competent to either recognize, or deal-with, nuclear-radiation…

Typical rejection-of-accountability & rejection-of-responsibility, though, of authority, isn’t it?

Contemptible.

Their own scripture states that their G-d is constant, but THEY switch repeatedly between being with-G-D & then being against-G-D,

AND that their own G-D enforces their slaughter/butchery after they’ve proven their meaning.

Jeremiah & Isaiah both give this.

Therefore, THEIR scripture declares for all to see that Netanyahu’s “Israel” is getting annihilated, shortly.

( striking in Qatar probably was “the straw that broke the camel’s back”, as far as regional-tolerance is concerned ).

Also, their identity is founded on genociding-others: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+20%3A17&version=CJB

There’s another place in their bible which identifies it was 7 nations to be exterminated, not 6, but that place in their bible gives the sense of how The Final Solution, Holocausting, Exterminating, was THE intent.

According to Eitan Bar, 6 times have others tried exterminating Israel.

Now “Israel” is genociding Palestinians… & shortly the 7th extermination of “Israel” should begin, in my eyes, if their scripture is true…

( & if basic politics are true: Arabs apparently cared nothing about Palestinians, but once Israel struck within wealthy-Arab territory … that all changed )

Also, the Essene Jewish guru-they-rejected ( they’re waiting for 1st benJoseph moshiach, then for benDavid moshiach: they were handed benJoseph, but he was Essene, & they HATED his violation of their Tradition’s Lordhood, sooo they simply refuse to acknowledge him! Eitan Bar wrote some books on some of this stuff, if you care about that ), benJoseph, declared ( Matt 24 ) that Israel would be annihilated, when the abomination that Daniel had spoken-of was around… https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+24%3A15-27&version=CJB

• So, their scripture identifies the cycle of their fidelity/infidelity,

• their scripture identifies their identity standing on genociding-others,

• their scripture identifies that whey they turn to embodying abomination, then THEIR G-D enforces their near-annihilation,

• & the root-guru that they rejected ( their rabbis even prohibit Jews from reading Isaiah 53, to protect their rejection-of-benJoseph … rabbis outranking Isaiah-their-Jewish-prophet re what Jewish Truth is! Absurdity. ) prophecies that there’ll be an ANNIHILATION of Israel, which now looks somewhat immanent…

It’s stacking-up, iow…

there’s another angle: in my view, hamas had bullshit “strategy” as their conscious “strategy”…

but their unconscious strategy was perfectly-calibrated to their opponent’s nature:

sacrifice the Palestinian people, entirely, through that 1st strike on Oct 7,

then Israel’s sadism-nihilism-machiavellianism-narcissism-etc would BE INCAPABLE OF RESISTING the “bait”, & it would carve its nature into the region sooo deeply that … Netanyahu’s “Israel’s” “deterrent” would disappear.

As a ninja pointed-out, decades ago ( in the book “Kenjutsu” ), ALL professional-combat training presumes that the opponent will block one’s strikes, to protect their lives…

So, they strike at one, & one strikes at them, diverting their strike into a block of one’s-own strike, see? ( that is deterrent )

BUT, when one goes up against an opponent who’s “martyring” themselves, they won’t divert from the strike, to block, to protect their lives, see?

So, instead, one … dies with them. ( notice that the kami-kaze pilots of WW2 were doing this, & it created problems for the Allies back then )

Taking them with one, but … one has no “deterrent”, anymore.

Netanyahu’s “Israel” is eradicating regional-deterrent, through their sadism-nihilism-machiavellianism-shamelessness-psychopathy.

& once the region no-longer-cares what it costs, that annihilating “Israel” is REQUIRED, … then Netanyahu’s regional-leverage … is permanently GONE.

They’re too ideologically-rabid to understand that fact, but it’s going to kill their “Israel” soon.

I’d been saying it’d happen by 2029’s end, but … after Netanyahu struck in Qatar … it may happen as early as late 2025/this-year.

All of this, though, is just 1 of the “dishes” on the planet’s current “buffet”.

ALL regions are going to be ideologically-rabid, shortly, from the looks of things…

then once the world is divided-up into “empires”, then WW3 begins.

From what I’ve read, the real Jews in Israel are terrified of the zionists, & don’t dare speak-up, about anything.

Ideological-dominion, no matter where it is, is a social-process-totalitarianism 1st.

If you live in the US of A, then you’re likely to be discovering this, shortly, as Trump’s been in-power 3/16ths of his alotted-term, & he’s already got 48% of “Project 2025” implimented, & there’s a tipping-point coming where even the masquerade of “democracy” falls-off.

There is going to be the same kind of rampaging-genociding happening in North America as there has been in Gaza these last years.

( the National Guard are being thrown-around within the US by Trump simply to “normalize” federal totalitarianism by him, obviously, & ICE, the DHS, the National Guard, etc, are his means of enforcing his shortly-to-be-total dictatorship.

As somebody pointed-out, court-injunctions now are legally-powerless against him & his appointees, Republicans now “de-register” voters who would vote Democrat ( apparently part of how he clobbered Harris, in 2024 ), & his “de-naturalization” outright removes-citizenship.

Does anybody seriously believe that all registered Democrats are going to have US citizenship once he crosses the “rubicon”?

If anybody does, they’re fools.

ICE exists to deal-with all who aren’t HIS kind of Republican, as the world will shortly see. )

Now that I know what’s really going-on: it’s a policy of Netanyahu’s “Israel”… it makes much more sense.

( Thank you Lemmy.World for informing me of that doctrine, the other day )

It also makes-obvious that you have to meet force with force proportionately, such that any player who always throws-around disproportionate-destruction so as to always-increase their control-of-the-world, you HAVE to hit them with force-equal-to-what-they’re-throwing-around, XOR you are accommodating-their-gaining-control-of-our-world.

Same as always, G-D’s law is reflective, and that means equal-and-opposite-force. ( yes, same as physics )

The really-sad thing about Netanyahu’s “Israel” is that their own scripture, like Jeremiah & Isaiah, identify that their relationship with their god is cyclical: with-god then against-god … and when they go against-their-god, then their-god torches them.

So, IF their scripture holds-true, and their god is as it/“he” stated in their scripture, THEN Netanyahu’s “Israel” should be toast, shortly.

if their god won’t torch them, or enforce-their-torching, THEN their god is … evil, apparently, or intermittent, or … periodic, or something.

So, the Scientific thing to do, is simply … wait & see.

Let’s see if their scripture is right, & they’re getting torched, shortly…

If so, then maybe their god is someone of integrity…

( for a bit more context, Jews are ordered to NOT read all of Isaiah, apparently, by their rabbis:

1 entire chapter of it is forbidden because it looks too-much like it backs the root-guru of the Christians, benJoseph.

The whole concept of rabbis outranking the prophets of Judaism … I find that hard to reconcile with logic, you know?

but ideological-contortionism is normal, among humans… )

whatever. From what I’ve read, zionists insist that Ezekiel … iirc it is 39 … vetoes all Jeremiah & Isaiah, & blesses their genociding of ALL peoples around them…

Therefore genociding Palestinians is just the beginning, right?

Rabies is rabies.

Ideological-rabies is ideological-rabies, it doesn’t matter whether it is “zionist” or “christian” or “islamist” or “capitalist”/moneyarchist/oligarchist or “buddhist” or “hindutva” or “atheist” or “confucian” or “marxist” or “leninist” or “right-wing” or “fascist” or mass-shooter or ANY ideological-rabies:

we’ve got the inherent right to fight against ideological-rabies!

Same as the right to fight against the biological rabies, & ebola, too.

Apparently male-bullying-female ( while gaslighting: pretending that male-“protects”-female ) has right to perpetuate itself, instead of equal-validity having the right to break/displace such male-bullying-female?

You have your position, I’ve got mine.

Because I’ve had it with karma: & I want to chop my continuum/soul out from getting-caught-in-any-more-lives, I’m sticking to mine.

I once came across a blog what was only photo-images of the 1920’s…

Eventually I noticed that nearly none of the women in the images were happy.

They all looked either depressed, worn-down, fearful, infringed-from-having-validity, or otherwise harmed.

I don’t care that some cultures have “established” that kind of asymmetry of human condition: it isn’t a right to do that to any entire-category of humankind, & it especially isn’t male right to do that to female-lives, while gaslighting about it.

The more competent one becomes at seeing through appearances, the more clear it is that it’s still normal, among North American celebrities, too…

Finally, the adulteration of the story in the book of Genesis probably sets the standard for machiavelianism/dishonesty/gaslighting…

It’s plainly visible even now that the text states that women “ate of the fruit of the knowledge of good & evil” WHICH MEANS MORAL-UNDERSTANDING, & then shared that with men.

That is rooted in hard fact: altruism is generalized mothering … in wasps, in mammals, in anything we’ve found it in.

A Western philosopher has noted that nihilism’s more common among men-philosphers: mothers can’t afford to sell-out their children’s lives that way, can they?

That the Judeo-Christian tradition twisted “women earned moral-understanding & shared it with men” to the perversion/prejudice-basis “women committed original-sin, downfalling our entire race” … is unconscionable, yet established.

No matter: IF humankind WON’T get upright, THEN humankind won’t survive The Great Filter, & next-century this world will be silent of our dishonesty/abuse/gaslighting, permanently.

This-century, our kind gets cornered into either growing-all-the-way-up XOR force-exterminating-our-species.

All the ideologies/prejudices/“religions” fighting for exclusive supremacism, still-accelerating-ClimatePunctuation, food-insecurity-migrations, war-produced-migrations, accelerationism, mass-shootings, civil-wars, every kind of machiavellianism imaginable, all of it, all together, until there’s no rationality left, & only rampaging-ideological-BUTCHERING-tantrum is going-on, that’s what it looks like humankind’s epitaph is going to be.

But that’s every-bit as fine as other-cultures-have-the-right-to-their-prejudices, isn’t it?

There’s no objective standard for judging anything, is there?

Maybe there isn’t to you, but there is to me: objective-morality is a valid-concept, though only for a subset of questions ( not cultural-stuff, but things like equal-validity, yes )

ttbomk, India did an official execution/hit/assassination of a Canadian Sikh man, sometime in the last couple of years…

it isn’t “just Muslims” that Modi’s modeled-on-Republican-religious-polarization is cutting: it’s everybody not-Hindutva, apparently.

No matter: His fake-protection against China is going to get his Hindutva-India butchered by China, when Russia refuses to lift a finger against its puppetmaster China, … perhaps as soon as next-year.

( ever seen an addict fighting against their own unconscious-mind’s addiction, for their own life & losing?

The whole world looks like that, to me, now.

Addicted-to-ideologies, “no time for” things like still-accelerating-ClimatePunctuation, or strategically-required quality-of-education & child-nutrition, or absolute-epidemic-mitigation, or international-state-backed-terrorism…

ideology’s always 1st…

it will be, until there’s nobody left, apparently.
