Last Notes npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Make Autism Great Again npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine This is a really interesting show, and really illuminating perspective https://fountain.fm/episode/gtobDFEbScsHCeb1Mby5 npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Yes, they also banned prostitution, and yet it thrives. They banned drugs, yet they thrive. Banning anything never actually makes it disappear. npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Yes, this is the psyop they really want you to believe in. They want to bury you in a mountain of irrelevance so you choose to ignore it completely. However, what is buried in the mountain of irrelevance are the very things that are important npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Is AI Fatigue a thing? npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine How's that situation that everyone is monitoring. npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine fuck AGI lets go for FUIS https://www.france24.com/en/france/20260310-french-ai-startup-ami-raises-1b-to-develop-universal-intelligent-systems npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine I think the Bare Naked Ladies said it best: I wear my my mind on my sleeve, I have history of taking off my shirt Don't know who needs to know this, but here it is npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine That is so funny!! Writing and reading are too distinctly different practices aren't they. practising one, doesn't necessarily mean you're practicing the other npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine i used to be a software developer. Now i just generate multiple failed projects a day from brain farts! npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine You know, once upon a time, I enjoyed the bug hunting. Then i found out, the more bugs you fixed the more you would need too npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine I'll go to my grave knowing I wrote more bugs than a machine ever will npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine https://geocities.restorativland.org/Area51/Atlantis/1032/ npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine That is also an observation. The phrase "many a true word is said in jest" springs to mind. npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine that's an opinion! all jokes aside, I do understand where you're coming from. Weirdly, I have been pondering over the last few days, that the UX, for actual "conversation" and "Discussion" on nostr, just isn't quite there yet! Kind 1 clients don't seem to foster or engage true conversational interaction. Something just isn't quite there yet npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine that's an opinion npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine The biggest use of AI by far, is people using it to justify their opinions or attempting to invalidate others npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine the important thing to remember, is an opinion is opinion. It will exist whether you agree with it or not. it will continue to exist. You may think, your opinion is more valid, but here's a thing, opinions will differ, people will clash over them, but they will always continue to exist. npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine They really want you to believe that international law is a thing npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine No One regime changes North Korea, because it literally got nothing else npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Is it an ethical question? Morals in themselves are just vague principles , sympathies Fundamentally you’re just picking a side on what you believe to right, there is no right answer, it’s just what you feel or perceive what the answer should be. You may want to wrap this up into some intellectual waffle, but fundamentally it’s just emotions npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine I'll sell you 1 BTC for 100 Million Sats. Real Bargain npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine I am old enough to remember when Silicon valley, promised us that the internet would help us find the cure for cancer within 10 years. What we got: * our privacy invaded * society fragmentation isolation * cheap shit delivered from China delivered straight to your front door * hours of doomscrolling * a mental health crisis But yeah lets all swallow that AI will deliver the cure for cancer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv1szY9rBro npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Nope that very clearly nuance npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine challenging narratives does not mean one disagrees or agrees, question everything! npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine A major lesson being played out in real time. If you keep continually threatening violence and death , you really shouldn’t be surprised when you start getting punched in the face. There are no innocent parties involved npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Been pondering these statements today. The question i have to ask, is what problems does he think he is solving by disrupting the software development industry ? Was there some kind of problem within the industry that wasn't producing code fast enough? don't get me wrong, i make use of AI daily. i get it to churn out code, and to be honest churning out code has never been a problem in the software industry per se. Software for intents and purposes has always fundamentally been worthless. admittedly one of the biggest problems in software development, has always been predominantly focused around project management and unlocking the perceived value stream of software projects. On average, 75% of software delivery projects fail, almost none of them due to the speed of code being delivered. Most software project fail for a myriad of different reasons, none of them really focused around the speed of coding. i suppose in some sense, having AI generate the code quicker, we can reduce the speed at which we reach failure. I'm really perplexed at what problem we're actually solving with this elimination. Do we have some bench mark we can use to measure what success actually looks like, I accept Software Developers, may in many instances be nothing more than the Coach Builders before the motor car came about. However, its not exactly clear what defines success. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxHWjYFLizA npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Opsec should matter to everyone who talks about Bitcoin npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine $5 wrench attacks npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine First rule of Bitcoin: Talk about Bitcoin, never talk about your Bitcoin npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine I am all to well aware of sanctions on unfavourable states, having experienced them directly. I grew up in a state that was considered unfavourable, and had sanctions imposed on it because it did not suit the narrative of the supposed do gooders. There will always be Yin and Yang of policy, the only real outcome of any policy is ultimately failure, primarily because there will always be conflicting perceptions of what the final outcomes should be, or even could be. npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine if you're into Bitcoin, and you're just waiting for that utopia of Hyper Bitcoinization to happen, so we can all just be super rich and the state has been separated from money. i've got news for you, it simply isn't just going to happen. its going to take a lot of time, effort and hard work to make it happen. It is going to take a lot of work, that many of you will not want to do. its going to take a lot of effort put into doing a lot of uncomfortable things. The cold hard simple fact is, its going to take an almighty political effort, because the current status quo is just way too powerful. You can take the total weak position, and sit on the sidelines and moan, or you can roll up your sleeves, and decide to get stuck in and start changing the system from within. Do the hard uncomfortable things, put in the proof of work. Be The Change, to make the change. Failing that Bitcoin, will only ever be one of those curious curiosities of a forgotten age. npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Its some what of a fallacy, to say that you can only participate in democracy every 4 years. In fact, I would say that is completely an incorrect perception. The reality is true democratic participation requires more than just 1 vote every 4 years. You are more than free, to join and participate in any of your preferred political parties, working at a local level within your chosen political party to bring about and enthuse change, and actually participating within your own party elections, campaigns and functions in general. You can be the change and just do things to bring about change. Just sitting on the sidelines moaning about that nobody is implementing the change you want, forgive me, but that is just pure brain dead! npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine I don’t want to be the guy that was right, that is nothing more than egotistical fallacy. However, being part of wider community or society that takes morally and ethically correct communal decisions and actions is far more beneficial to everyone npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine unconstrained and uncontrolled power is the problem. or rather allowing power to become unconstrained and uncontrolled npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Allowing either side to actually gain power, by non participation results in this npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine It is a basic premise of software engineering that you cannot allow memory allocation, ie state management, to grow , unchecked and unmonitored . It is also vitally important to ensure that all unnecessary processes or services are disposed of to ensure optimum execution of an application. Yet some people tend to think this same discipline does not need to be applied to state. A software system will only be as successful as its state management. The same as any society or community will only be as successful as its state management npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine To claim nobody voted for any action of the state, is often tacit acknowledgement that also nobody voted for the alternative at best, at worst that no other alternative was presented due to total lack of participation npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Your non-participation in the state, does not hamper or halt its growth, it only fuels it to grow beyond your . It’s not rocket science npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine It is not the state that is the problem, rather it is the size of the state that is the problem. If left unchecked and uncontrolled the size of the state will grow to fill whatever void or vacuum you leave for it to grow. Your non participation in a state, does not halt or contain its growth it will only grow beyond your non participation and ultimately it will control you whether you acknowledge its legitimacy or not. Leaving decisions of others to whether the state will grow or not , is not galaxy brain material, in fact it is rather naive, because others will always elect to opt for state growth, merely because of the perceived benefits. Democracy is far from perfect, on the whole it doesn’t seem to work, yet it is still the best out of the rest. npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine It would seem it is perceived as the best way to convince someone of a fundamentally flawed argument, is to call them a retard and send a meme. Seems this is the way we will usher in the brave new world. not convinced it is the most cunning of plans npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Really looking forward to Monday , to find out what the internet experts on everything are going to be experts on npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine If everything is a psyop , everything is a psyop npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Really looking forward to the day when my toaster has AI in it. Will never to understand whether the dial is based on minutes or heat! npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Another fundamental flaw of the big AI revolution is, where are these AI companies going to generate all this massive revenue required to pay back all this debt or even cover the costs of compute , if nobody is earning any money to pay for all the goods and services that are being produced. No one has presented any plan or insight as to what the possibilities are, we’re just being told it’s coming. As a software developer with heaps of experience of working on software projects . I’ve witness many fail, despite boundless enthusiasm for the technical capabilities Just saying npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Is anybody else seeing the major flaw in AI taking all the jobs plan? If AI takes all the jobs in companies that produce goods that are dependent on people with jobs to buy, how are companies going to sell goods that AI has produced? All these subscription based services that require people with jobs to pay for, are going to go first. Insurance premiums will be next, health care companies will go, despite AI doing all the jobs efficiently. How are people gonna find the money to pay for mortgages? Yeah I’m starting to think that all of this hasn’t been completely thought through yet. But yeah my bot filtering my inbox has made me so much more efficient and productive npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine I work at home in a T-shirt, I’m probably super fucked npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Sometimes the burden of proof can be a real pain npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine So despite not believing in the legitimacy of the state, you claim you cannot live anywhere where the state does not exist. Continue to pay taxes to the state because of fear of repercussions from the state because of its monopoly on violence. And I’m the retard?? npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Kind of proves you believe in legitimacy of a state. npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine So you want to live in a state then. npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Tomorrow I am going to work hard to earn ilking as a Zionist sympathiser, sounds cool npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Just because I choose to use the same form as money as you, it really doesn’t mean I have to agree with and adopt your opinion. Just let that sink in npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Breaking: IRGC members are literally threatening to kill anyone who comes out to the streets. They’re saying: “If anyone goes out on the street, we will treat them as Israeli soldiers and we have the right to kill them.” npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine In hypothetical argument between a pots and a kettle which one wins? npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine At the end of the day, it does appear to be a matter of whatever perspective to justify any point of the argument. Was it justified that a state used violence, or in your words, killed for peace, when earlier this year the people of Iran protested against the economic failure of the state? The people of Iran, are calling out for change, It’s well documented that they have been doing so for a number of years, every time this has been met with yet more violence from the state, or rather more killing to achieve peace. Do we need to accept this form totalitarian thinking as justified behaviour? Or is this just a cultural norm? npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Not kill for peace, rather violence to achieve pacifism , the nuance is rather important npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine I love looking up the definition of words and terms , to see how meaning and definitions change or more rather abstract over time. My latest enquiry is on the word “state”. One definition that has changed is The supreme public power within a sovereign political entity Sounds catchy npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine I don’t just walk into any house in my village and make myself a cup of tea and help myself to biscuits , not through fear of persecution by the state or the police or courts etc. We do this from the learned behaviour of culture , and the perception of what is considered right or wrong. My neighbour does not need to be protected by the state, but rather more on the reliance that I adopt and adhere to these cultural norms. We would like to think that the state Provides a barrier or a border around us to live within these cultural norms. The problem is that there appears to be people who do not want to live within these confines of cultural norms and perhaps have differing perspectives of what these norms are npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Is it your judgement to pass it? npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine What is my narrative? npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine I’m finding it difficult to live up to expectations people put on me. I don’t know wether I’m a far right racist fascist A low IQ statist Antichrist lunatic Liberal lefttard Intelligent high brow libartarian Austrian economist Nut job Cunt Fucking idiot It’s exhausting having opinions npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine If only IRGC came up with better memes they could’ve foiled the invasion and persuaded people of their opinions! npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Yeah, should ask all these people telling you to not live in states npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine It would appear so npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine So you’re quite content with the state to have the monopoly on violence by continuing to live in it npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Was it a meme battle? npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Define attacked? Via proxies or propaganda ? npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine No but paying your taxes does. npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine How does not voting do it? npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine We could just as easily change that meme too, we can pretend that NOT voting makes a difference it would be equally valid Might sound really high brow though npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine When I grow up I really want to be a high IQ anti statist that lives comfortably in a state and moan about it on the internet all day Oh yeah and I must remember not to vote so as to ensure I don’t have any say whatsoever in whatever state gets the make all decisions for me. Sounds amazing npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Yeah you must be part of my ilk, as apparent low IQ statists npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Interesting advice. Last time I checked Turkey, or as they like to call it Türkiye , is a state , so in all likelihood has a load of low IQ statists living there npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine So I’ve been called a low IQ statist by people who …… check notes …… live in states npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Hey it’s spending your taxes too npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Mate you need therapy, necrophillia is just weird npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Just found out I’ve been ilked and my and apparently my ilk is low IQ statist npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Does your mom know you’re using the internet? npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Oh so now I’m a low IQ statist now. npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Yes corporations made a lot money. Not acting superior, just highlighting facts that multiculturalism is not an achievable endeavour. All these wars you highlight is that there is far more nuance and complexity and historical precedent than you are even starting to appreciate. npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Check-Out this meme that mentions #1953 as the start of this beef #1095 https://media.gettyimages.com/id/504402647/photo/cheers.jpg?s=2048x2048&w=gi&k=20&c=DZ0KYnN8btY2eqaJ7-W0P6knocPd2C1M98D5z3Xog7Y= #nevent1q…ygsq npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Facts, or just conspiracy theories, assumptions , speculations, murkiness ? Me and my ilk . Interesting. so what you’re saying is that you and your ilk are morally superior because you’ve derived an opinion based on a different interpretation of a collation of certain statements presented as facts. npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine I would have to consider the nuance and complexity of the situation npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine What is a real stance? npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Learning to understand and comprehend nuance important npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Oh yes, lets dive deeper into theese cases of whataboutery, to find cases of justification for all actions. Will be really fun. The west is evil, the east is evil So what ya gonna do? npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Just in: Drunk man shouts at traffic npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Deportation and even jail time is much too kind and lenient for this kind of animal! This type of barbarism can and should only be met with a barbaric repercussions npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Nobody is stupid or naïeve enough to think that any international negotiations with competing ideologies are ever going to result in peace. They never have and never will. Negotiations only ever result in more murkiness in the already murky world of “ international law” . Iran apparently made some “concessions” in negotiations, but anyone with half a brain knows full well that they never would lived up to or really delivered on any of them. So fundamentally whatever was negotiated would never ever been delivered anyway. npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Is this conflict in Iran, actually nothing more than a celebration of multiculturalism and diversity? npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine For at least 48 years on my tenure of sharing this planet with the other temporary inhabitants, there has been trouble with Iran, there has been murder , terrorist attacks, wars and mostly poor violence , perpetrated by the supposedly peace loving and god fearing regime that just wanted to spread its version of peace and stability. All I have ever known is trouble in the Middle East In my opinion, this current “escalation”. Has been way overdue, I know this opinion is shared among the number of Iranians i personally know. Many of which had to leave Iran for fear of persecution and actual persecution. Ironically, many of them consider themselves Muslims, but of the very moderate kind. A smaller proportion are actually Christian. It is one thing to be a pacifist, but it is another to realise and accept sometimes violence is necessary to achieve a pacifism . Whatever your viewpoint, this in many ways necessary, if for nothing else to address the elephant in the room for humanity’s progress. This absolute tosh, that diversity is our greatest strength, and multi culturalism is amazing. Is pure garbage. Multi culturalism is great, when people of similar cultural values co habit with each other in a place where they accept their culture, you cannot enforce all cultures into one pot, and not expect violence, and clashes and disharmony. If you don’t like the place where you’re at you can leave, but you simply can’t take your cultural norms and perspectives with you to your new place and expect everyone adopt them. If things were so great with your culture why did you leave? Personally, I think it is wrong to attempt to replicate cultures everywhere, on the whole completely unnecessary. npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Yes, very interesting observation npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine It’s raining regime change npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Finding this quite testing #nevent1q…p5c6 npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine I’m monitoring the situation of the situation monitors of the situation monitors npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine So it looks like all the Epstein file experts, are now Middle East conflict experts! npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine That is a great perspective! npub1a3jz7w9laar2k77dkkh2rhxunr9zpja5emrl5yrxetamt29swqyqmmt32y gary_woodfine Heard this phrase today, and it resonates loudly with me Privacy isn’t guilt.
