Angry ... pride ...

These are only two of a long, long line of emotional sentiments that are in fact the drivers of people's actions. Most actions people take and decisions they make are irrational and stem from some underlying psychological factor.

Few people have the balls to admit that they were wrong.

When I was younger, I was wrong about being a leftist. I woke up and saw how naïve I was.

I was in your shoes... I also believed in global warming and all sorts of utter nonsense.

I thank Obama for being a key figure in waking me up... when Hope and Change became more of the same ... that opened a lot of windows for me including https://fasteddynz.substack.com/p/what-if/

at age 11 i was thinking about communism and why don't we all work together thoughts, without even reading marx

then at age 12 i thought social darwinism was correct and there's no reason not to deceive stupid humans

i thought to myself if obama sent drone strikes to middle east to get oil to make me sleep well at night, why wouldn't i also kill other humans to get resources?? if i don't value human life, why should other people value human life. don't westerners dump their e-waste and thrash into second and third world anyways?? and don't humans prioritize their families/friends/immediate circle over others?? if everyone is selfish, why would some government entity specifically care about you other than you keeping the system alive.

after that i read between the lines more easily

lenient renter laws in New york = Low vacancy rates for the poor - eugenics in action

raising minimum wage - increase unemployment rate of poor people

drug legalizing -- more fenatyl deaths more people not breeding and just reccing

women equality = make them more expensive, demanding and unreasonable to males

lenient crime laws - high intraracial crime shootings and food deserts (commercial desertification) appearing - eugenics in action

global warming - everything is talking about lowering standards of living, bill gates lecture emphasized on ''if we reduce one of those numbers to zero'' -- he meant humans we can get really close to 0 co2. looked at graph at oil production and made connection to fertilizer and thought hmm i guess maybe government is attempting to cull humans. abortion coming, lgbtq coming in 2009s, etc.

I was speaking to one of the few people I know outside of the digital world who is aware that just about everything is fake... and I said -- when I go to places where there are a lot of people (e.g. a play with a couple of thousand in the audience)... I look at them and I think ... the odds of even a single person in here having the slightest clue is likely zero.... the odds of someone in here not having been vaxxed is close to zero...

They are https://fasteddynz.substack.com/p/humans-barnyard-animals-and-circus/ ... cockroaches... cattle.. whatever... and there are 8B+ of them.. not difficult to understand why https://fasteddynz.substack.com/p/who-runs-the-world see them as expendable...

End of the day they are utter morons... selfish... petty... addicted to cell phones and Dancing with Stars... stuffing 341 pizza down their maws... worrying about who has the bigger Tee Vee... or fancier car... shitting on anyone they believe is inferior... and so easily controlled... like rats in an experiment

Why would The Men Who Run the World have any respect of them? Why would they tell them the truth... they care about them as a slave owner would a slave... as long as they produce they get fed... nothing more

I love it! Humility and flexibility with a dash of curiosity is so helpful, and the courage it takes to admit to being wrong is very attractive indeed. Sad how fear of change holds people back from living fully.

you stole this idea from me :) lol Instead of being loyal to the Truth (Heart fixed) and flexible about ideas in our Minds (Mind flexible), we always do the opposite, and wonder why we are blind and deaf: i wrote on 23rd of October .......i remember you are not very flexible to change your Mind as well

I've been changing my mind for more than two decades now...

I am very flexible -- but only if the facts dictate a change of mind...

Feel free to present your case

I have done many times, just saying how I see some of my ideas here so was surprised how strange your comments are. interesting Because at the center of every lie is the need to be right every time, and in all the past comments you had to be right despite 0 evidence, when you have no more evidence you just leave lol with your lies, this is not about you, this is about 100% of people who hold onto their lies! just becasue they are not flexible to think as sometimes you have to delete like 40% of what you think is knowledge, and that is what people are NOT flexible to do! :) see the title of your blog: The world according to you, as if you have created the world! Hubris is in the title, Hubris= Mind not flexible. Now what is the point of living? for each one of us to have our own opinion? what is the use of that? or that you collect your worshipers? these are lines that present my case :)

I am always right. The problem is with other people who aren't able to understand that I am right.
