If the true Self is a wave function, then the manifest Self is always a potential.  Manifestation is stagnation, however, so potential is the most useful place–rather way of being–for a Self.  This makes it always both true and not true.

Identity politics is the expression of emotional coldness desperately seeking warmth.

True, not true, provisionally both depending on details and context?

A rolling seed will never germinate.

Solitude and loneliness are two different things.

Between InfoWars, Zero Hedge, and The Weekly World News (available in quality grocery checkout aisles everywhere), which do you think Facebook, based on actions it has taken, considers the most reputable?

If you guessed the news source whose Facebook page claims it has “been protecting readers from alien slime since 1979”, you were correct.

Put another way, if you think they are not engaged in censoring opinions they find actually dangerous for whatever reason (with being close to, or at the hidden truth being the best guess) you are dumb.

Why would the FBI be involved in helping the NCAA—which has no legal or governmental standing—prevent recruiting violations?

What sort of country do we live in?

Remember the 6 fat cows and 6 lean cows from the Bible, in the Pharaohs dreams?

While there is plenty, save, so there will be enough in time of want?

Here is what happened nearly everywhere in America, with respect to most pensions, and certainly Social Security, our very poor national pension system: in time of plenty, which is to say when the Boomers were paying in, and only a much smaller generation taking out, the money was spent. With regard to Social Security it was spent on increased benefits which could not be paid for long term, but which got votes in the short term. Those still paying in could not see any sign of this. Those people allowed the money to be taken—as it must by law in most cases—and didnt worry about it.

With regard to State and Municipal pensions, it went all sorts of places.

But net, net, in the six years of plenty all the excess was squandered by vote-hungry politicians on an array of vote-getting proposals, leaving nothing left for the time of want.

In a nutshell, this describes nearly all such problems nationally.

You cannot protest your way to a good idea.

I will abstain from comment: https://grahamhancock.com/whitemany9/

I tend to think of fear, aggression and shame as analogous to the concept in particle physics that particles are waves are fields.

[One interesting thing I will note is that the Higg’s Boson, the so-called God Particle, does not do anything.  It is an emanation of an invisible field which permeates the entire universe and in resistance to which matter acquires mass. I don’t know what relation, if any, this supposition–needed to make the math work–and that of a Zero Point Field/Quantum vacuum possess.  Both, though, are 1) invisible; and 2) omnipresent.]

Logically, anything which works to build fear and aggression also works to build shame, and a strong need to avoid shame.

Can we not suppose that modern American media works to develop an addiction to violence?  An addiction to fear/suspense, as well as an addiction to violent acts, ideally directed at suitably nasty people, but not necessarily, as in horror films, which make heroes out of some of their villains.

Does not this process, seen everywhere (by the way, I gave up on American Gods; I just don’t need all that stuff floating around my head), work to build a usable background of shame which can be put to work politically?  I am going to suppose yes.

There is, to put it another way, a political because sociological relation between Socialism as it is sold, and The Walking Dead.
