⚛️ Embrace reality if you seek peace! Embracing reality, grounded in reason, compassion and evidence, has a much greater chance of leading to stability & peace than religion, especially when contrasted with the historical and ongoing conflicts fueled by religious dogma, tribalism, and intolerance!

"High cortisol at night, restful sleep takes flight." Night-time cortisol spikes wreck sleep, jack up anxiety, and leave you wrecked the next day. With the levels of stress we are exposed to in modern society, modulating stress is increasingly essential.

I know that this sounds almost hypothetical as I am writing it on a social media app, but honestly, the best thing that could happen to the world right now is a massive asteroid hitting Silicon valley.....

Ai is what will end us, and so few ppl care - even if they believe it - because before they die, they will get to feel smart and important for a brief moment, while listening to sycophantic messages from an algorithm or looking at customised p0rn This may be the epitaph of our species. #theabyse

True. And it is true for every extreme. Far left, far right, fascists, communists., religious extremists, even radical atheists. All at the extremes rely on hate to sustain their ideology and to feel good with persecuting disbelievers.

I suppose one of the reasons people cling so tenaciously to their hate is because they sense that once the hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain. James Baldwin

If AI achieves the goals of its creators (replacing every human job) then the result will be 4 emperors in silicon valley ruling the world with their AI's. Richer & more powerful than any humans have ever been. And from that point onwards, the rest of us will be merely serfs. That is their end game

The mistake that every major world power makes is the same. & has been the same throughout history. They assume that because in this particular moment in time they are a dominant power, that they always will be. They have land, power, influence, etc. These things can all evaporate in a generation.

Imagine if you lived for 1000 years. Wld families & kids be like a summer u vaguely remember? "U bump into a wife u married at 30 at a party when you're 900 years old, and after a few minutes remember, "Wait a minute - I know you. We had 4 kids and lived together for 20 years." Probs of immortality.

What the US doesn't realise is that every time in history that one nation became more powerful than all the others and started to throw its weight around to control everyone else, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc nations got together and destroyed them. This is not a good strategy from king Trump. #Napoleon

Wtf hasn't Starmer just stood up and told Trump he's a fat narcisist who only started a war to distract ppl from his sex crimes. Honestly - I wouldnt care how many tarifs the US put on us - I'd vote for starmer forever if he did that. Kudos to Spain though, as at least they've shown some balls!

PEDOS PROTECT PEDOS tRump B4: "Clinton visited Epstein's private island" & asked his DOJ to investigate Clinton today: tRump has never said anything to me to make me think he was involved with Epstein tRump AFTER: I don't like seeing' Bill Clinton deposed in Epstein probe...sets new precedent 🤔🤔
