Funny where I wound up in life so far....
That's always a good point to make to people before you share some hard truths, neither of us asked to be here, and nor did we make the world the way it was the day we were born. That's two things all people, including animals, will always have in common from the day they are born, to the day they die.
All of the worlds problems really are rooted in population and demographics.
When ever a person makes an anti-depopulation argument you will notice that they rarely even pretend to truly care about other people and future generations. Even the argument, "but then a leader or doctor or somebody we really needed may never be born", has no sincere compassion in it for the person that has to be born and suffer a life of violence, trauma, disappointment, disease and ailments, loneliness to varying degrees and intervals, physical and mental degradation via aging process, and a whole host of other bad ****, just to live a short life and die. Now they're even talking about reproducing humans to be born in space stations and colonies....
Bringing consciousness into existence in the material realm really is some cruel **** to do. I truly believe worshiping a god who would do something like that is evil....

Why It Pays to Be Grumpy and Bad-Tempered
Quote
Being bad-tempered and pessimistic helps you to earn more, live longer and enjoy a healthier marriage. It’s almost enough to put a smile on the dourest of faces.
Quote
On stage he’s a loveable, floppy-haired prince charming. Off camera – well let’s just say he needs a lot of personal space. He hates being a celebrity. He resents being an actor. To his ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley's friends he was apparently known as ‘Grumpelstiltskin.’https://getpocket.com/explore/item/why-it-pays-to-be-grumpy-and-bad-tempered?utm_source=pocket-newtab
Hugh Grant may be famed for being moody and a little challenging to work with. But could a grumpy attitude be the secret to his success?
The pressure to be positive has never been greater. Cultural forces have whipped up a frenzied pursuit of happiness, spawning billion-dollar book sales, a cottage industry in self-help and plastering inspirational quotes all over the internet.
Now you can hire a happiness expert, undertake training in ‘mindfulness’, or seek inner satisfaction via an app. The US army currently trains its soldiers – over a million people – in positive psychology and optimism is taught in UK schools. Meanwhile the ‘happiness index’ has become an indicator of national wellbeing to rival GDP.
The truth is, pondering the worst has some clear advantages. Cranks may be superior negotiators, more discerning decision-makers and cut their risk of having a heart attack. Cynics can expect more stable marriages, higher earnings and longer lives – though, of course, they’ll anticipate the opposite.
Good moods on the other hand come with substantial risks – sapping your drive, dimming attention to detail and making you simultaneously gullible and selfish. Positivity is also known to encourage binge drinking, overeating and unsafe sex.
At the centre of it all is the notion our feelings are adaptive: anger, sadness and pessimism aren’t divine cruelty or sheer random bad luck – they evolved to serve useful functions and help us thrive.
Take anger. From Newton’s obsessive grudges to Beethoven’s tantrums – which sometimes came to blows – it seems as though visionary geniuses often come with extremely short tempers. There are plenty of examples to be found in Silicon Valley. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is famed for his angry outbursts and insults (such as “I’m sorry, did I take my stupid pills today?”) yet they haven’t stopped him building a $300 billion company.
For years, the link remained a mystery. Then in 2009 Matthijs Baas from the University of Amsterdam decided to investigate. He recruited a group of willing students and set to work making them angry in the name of science. Half the students were asked to recall something which had irritated them and write a short essay about it. “This made them a bit angrier, though they weren’t quite driven to full-blown fits of rage,” he says. The other half of the group were made to feel sad.
Next the two teams were pitched against each other in a game designed to test their creativity. They had 16 minutes to think of as many ways as possible to improve education at the psychology department. As Baas expected, the angry team produced more ideas – at least to begin with. Their contributions were also more original, repeated by less than 1 percent of the study’s participants.
Crucially, angry volunteers were better at moments of haphazard innovation, or so-called “unstructured” thinking. Let’s say you’re challenged to think about possible uses for a brick. While a systematic thinker might suggest ten different kinds of building, it takes a less structured approach to invent a new use altogether, such as turning it into a weapon.
In essence, creativity is down to how easily your mind is diverted from one thought path and onto another. In a situation requiring fight or flight, it’s easy to see how turning into a literal “mad genius” could be life-saving.
“Anger really prepares the body to mobilise resources – it tells you that the situation you’re in is bad and gives you an energetic boost to get you out of it,” says Baas.
To understand how this works, first we need to get to grips with what’s going on in the brain. Like most emotions, anger begins in the amygdala, an almond-shaped structure responsible for detecting threats to our well-being. It’s extremely efficient – raising the alarm long before the peril enters your conscious awareness.
Then it’s up to chemical signals in the brain to get you riled up. As the brain is flooded with adrenaline it initiates a burst of impassioned, energetic fury which lasts for several minutes. Breathing and heart rate accelerate and blood pressure skyrockets. Blood rushes into the extremities, leading to the distinctive red face and throbbing forehead veins people get when they’re annoyed.
Though it’s thought to have evolved primarily to prepare the body for physical aggression, this physiological response is known to have other benefits, boosting motivation and giving people the gall to take mental risks.
All these physiological changes are extremely helpful – as long as you get a chance to vent your anger by wrestling a lion or screaming at co-workers. Sure, you might alienate a few people, but afterwards your blood pressure should go back to normal. Avoiding grumpiness has more serious consequences.
The notion that repressed feelings can be bad for your health is ancient. The Greek philosopher Aristotle was a firm believer in catharsis (he invented the modern meaning of the word); viewing tragic plays, he conjectured, allowed punters to experience anger, sadness and guilt in a controlled environment. By getting it all out in the open, they could purge themselves of these feelings all in one go.
His philosophy was later adopted by Sigmund Freud, who instead championed the cathartic benefits of the therapist’s couch.
Then in 2010 a team of scientists decided to take a look. They surveyed a group of 644 patients with coronary artery disease to determine their levels of anger, suppressed anger and tendency to experience distress, and followed them for between five and ten years to see what happened next.
Over the course of the study, 20 percent experienced a major cardiac event and 9 percent percent died. Initially it looked like both anger and suppressed anger increased the likelihood of having a heart attack. But after controlling for other factors, the researchers realised anger had no impact – while suppressing it increased the chances of having a heart attack by nearly three-fold.
It’s still not known exactly why this occurs, but other studies have shown that suppressing anger can lead to chronic high blood pressure.
And not all benefits are physical: anger can help with negotiating, too. A major flashpoint for aggression is the discovery that someone does not value your interests highly enough. It involves inflicting costs – the threat of physical violence – and withdrawing benefits – loyalty, friendship, or money – to help them see their mistake.
Support for this theory comes from the faces we pull when angry. Research suggests they aren’t arbitrary movements at all, but specifically aimed at increasing our physical strength in the eyes of our opponent. Get it right and aggression can help you advance your interests and increase your status – it’s just an ancient way of bargaining.
In fact, scientists are increasingly recognising that grumpiness may be beneficial to the full range of social skills – improving language skills, memory and making us more persuasive.
“Negative moods indicate we’re in a new and challenging situation and call for a more attentive, detailed and observant thinking style,” says Joseph Forgas, who has been studying how emotions affect our behaviour for nearly four decades. In line with this, research has also found that feeling slightly down enhances our awareness of social cues. Intriguingly, it also encourages people to act in a more – not less – fair way towards others.
Harsh, but Fair
Though happiness is often thought of as intrinsically virtuous, the emotion brings no such benefits. In one study, a group of volunteers was made to feel disgusted, sad, angry, fearful, happy, surprised or neutral and invited to play the “ultimatum game.”
In the game, the first player is given some money and asked how they’d like to divide it between themselves and another player. Then the second player gets to decide whether or not to accept. If they agree, the money is split how the first player proposed. If not, neither player gets any money.
The ultimatum game is often used as a test of our sense of fairness by showing whether you expect to get a 50-50 share or whether you are happy for each person to be in it for themselves. Interestingly, all negative emotions led to more rejections by the second player, which might suggest that these feelings enhance our sense of fairness and the need for everyone to be treated equally.
Reversing the set-up reveals this is not just a case of sour grapes, either. The “dictator game” has exactly the same rules except this time the second player has no say whatsoever – they simply receive whatever the first player decides not to keep. It turns out that happier participants keep more of the prize for themselves, while those in a sad mood are significantly less selfish.
“People who are feeling slightly down pay better attention to external social norms and expectations, and so they act in a fairer and just way towards others,” says Forgas.
In some situations, happiness carries far more serious risks. It’s associated with the cuddle hormone, oxytocin, which a handful of studies have shown reduces our ability to identify threats. In prehistoric times, happiness would have left our ancestors vulnerable to predators. In modern life, it prevents us paying due attention to dangers such as binge drinking, overeating and unsafe sex.
“Happiness functions like a shorthand signal that we’re safe and it’s not necessary to pay too much attention to the environment,” he says. Those in a continuous happy haze may miss important cues. Instead, they may be over-reliant on existing knowledge – leaving them prone to serious errors of judgement.
In one study, Forgas and colleagues from the University of New South Wales, Australia, put volunteers in either a happy or sad mood by screening films in the laboratory. Then he asked them to judge the truth of urban myths, such as that power lines cause leukaemia or the CIA murdered President Kennedy. Those in a good mood were less able to think sceptically and were significantly more gullible.
Next Forgas used a first-person shooter game to test if good moods might also lead people to rely on stereotyping. As he predicted, those in a good mood were more likely to aim at targets wearing turbans.
Of all the positive emotions, optimism about the future may have the most ironic effects. Like happiness, positive fantasies about the future can be profoundly de-motivating. “People feel accomplished, they relax, and they do not invest the necessary effort to actually realise these positive fantasies and daydreams,” says Gabriele Oettingen from New York University.
Graduates who fantasize about success at work end up earning less, for instance. Patients who daydream about getting better make a slower recovery. In numerous studies, Oettingen has shown that the more wishful your thinking, the less likely any of it is to come true. “People say ‘dream it and you will get it’ – but that’s problematic,” she says. Optimistic thoughts may also put the obese off losing weight and make smokers less likely to plan to quit.
Defensive Pessimism
Perhaps most worryingly, Oettingen believes the risks may operate on a societal level, too. When she compared articles in the newspaper USA Today with economic performance a week or a month later, she found that the more optimistic the content, the more performance declined. Next she looked at presidential inaugural addresses – and found that more positive speeches predicted a lower employment rate and GDP in during their time in office.
Combine these unnerving findings with optimism bias – the tendency to believe you’re less at risk of things going wrong than other people – and you’re asking for trouble. Instead, you might want to consider throwing away your rose-tinted spectacles and adopting a glass half-empty outlook. “Defensive pessimism” involves employing Murphy’s Law, the cosmic inevitability that whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. By anticipating the worst, you can be prepared when it actually happens.
It works like this. Let’s say you’re giving a talk at work. All you have to do is think of the worst possible outcomes – tripping up on your way to the stage, losing the memory stick which contains your slides, computer difficulties, awkward questions (truly accomplished pessimists will be able to think of many, many more) – and hold them in your mind. Next you need to think of some solutions.
Psychologist Julie Norem from Wellesley College, Massachusetts, is an expert pessimist. “I’m a little clumsy, especially when I’m anxious, so I make sure to wear low-heeled shoes. I get there early to scope out the stage and make sure that there aren’t cords or other things to trip over. I typically have several backups for my slides: I can give the talk without them if necessary, I email a copy to the organizers, carry a copy on a flash drive, and bring my own laptop to use…” she says. Only the paranoid survive, as they say.
So the next time someone tells you to “cheer up” – why not tell them how you’re improving your sense of fairness, reducing unemployment and saving the world economy? You’ll be having the last laugh – even if it is a world-weary, cynical snort.
Most modern Westerners: "Let's just all come together and sing a happy song while we pop Soma and be positive. Positive vibes only!"
Do you not realize it's idiots like you that are destroying this planet? You make me sick! :D

Furthermore, a line could be drawn between heroic and defeatist pessimism | heroic and delusional optimism | grumpiness and brooding | bad-temper (aggression) and sensitivity |

Some insects can count, recognize human faces, even invent languages.
Quote
The biggest problem with asking about animal intelligence is defining what we even mean by “intelligence.” The animals generally thought of as smartest—among them the great apes, dolphins, and the octopus—are believed to be intelligent because they demonstrate some of the behaviors that we associate with our own superiority as humans. These qualities include problem solving, advanced communication, social skills, adaptability, and memory, and also physical traits like the comparative size of the brain or number of neurons in the brain.Read more: https://getpocket.com/explore/item/i-asked-leading-entomologists-what-s-the-smartest-bug-in-the-world?utm_source=pocket-newtab
Scientists study these qualities, but they study them individually, as concrete behaviors and attributes, and don’t usually like to then add up an animal species’ scores on those qualities and then declare them objectively intelligent.
Insects are a particularly difficult group of animals to study for these traits, because they’re just so different from us. Srour walked me through the basics of an insect’s brain, and holy god, they are so weird. Insects are extremely modular creatures, not like us at all: the easiest way to understand an insect’s nervous system is that an insect has many different sub-brains in different parts of its body, which feed into and can be controlled by a slightly larger central brain but can actually also operate separately. The antennae of an insect has its own brain. So does the mouth, the eyes, and each leg. Even if the central brain of an insect stops working, its legs still have their own sub-brains, and can keep walking.

A better question would be: what is the most Aryan bug in the world?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrotermitinae
Quote
The worker termites bring plant material such as dried grass, decaying wood and leaf litter, back to the mound. This material is chewed up and semi-digested by the termites, fertilised with their faeces and placed in the chambers where it is quickly colonised by the fungus to form a "fungus comb". The termites cultivate these fungus gardens, adding more substrate as required, and removing the older parts of the comb for consumption by all members of the colony.[5]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungus-growing_ants
Quote
Leaf cutter ants are sensitive enough to adapt to the fungi's reaction to different plant material, apparently detecting chemical signals from the fungus. If a particular type of leaf is toxic to the fungus, the colony will no longer collect it.
...
The fungi used by the higher attine ants no longer produce spores. These ants fully domesticated their fungal partner 15 million years ago, a process that took 30 million years to complete.[8] Their fungi produce nutritious and swollen hyphal tips (gongylidia) that grow in bundles called staphylae, to specifically feed the ants.[9]
...
The Atta colombica species, unusually for the Attine tribe, have an external waste heap. Waste transporters take the waste, which consists of used substrate and discarded fungus, to the waste heap. Once dropped off at the refuse dump, the heap workers organise the waste and constantly shuffle it around to aid decomposition. A compelling observation of A. colombica was the dead ants placed around the perimeter of the waste heap.[10][11]

Quote
This notion that time is just a fourth dimension is highly misleading. In special relativity, the time directions are structurally different from the space directions. In the timelike directions, you have a further distinction into the future and the past, whereas any spacelike direction I can continuously rotate into any other spacelike direction. The two classes of timelike directions can’t be continuously transformed into one another.Entire article: https://getpocket.com/explore/item/a-defense-of-the-reality-of-time?utm_source=pocket-newtab

Could anyone who reads this imagine Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush, etc. leading anyone into battle? Of course not, these are Western business men who push pencils and paper from the safety of their seats. Furthermore, two of the presidents previously mentioned dodged military service altogether, Trump being on of them. So the question becomes, why and when did humans decide it was better for cowardly businessmen and pencil pushers to lead nations into war than a King who will go to war with you in person? Answer: research the French Revolution.

People are more likely to choose satisfaction—the long-term feeling that comes with achieving your goals.
Quote
Kahneman contends that happiness and satisfaction are distinct. Happiness is a momentary experience that arises spontaneously and is fleeting. Meanwhile, satisfaction is a long-term feeling, built over time and based on achieving goals and building the kind of life you admire. On the Dec. 19, 2018 podcast “Conversations with Tyler,” hosted by economist Tyler Cowen, Kahneman explains that working toward one goal may undermine our ability to experience the other.https://getpocket.com/explore/item/a-nobel-prize-winning-psychologist-says-most-people-don-t-really-want-to-be-happy?utm_source=pocket-newtab
For example, in Kahneman’s research measuring everyday happiness—the experiences that leave people feeling good—he found that spending time with friends was highly effective. Yet those focused on long-term goals that yield satisfaction don’t necessarily prioritize socializing, as they’re busy with the bigger picture.
The History of Happiness
Quote
The fact is that the commitment to happiness in Western culture is relatively modern. Until the 18th century, Western standards encouraged, if anything, a slightly saddened approach to life, with facial expressions to match. As one dour Protestant put it, God would encourage a person who “allowed no joy or pleasure, but a kind of melancholic demeanor and austerity.” This does not mean people were actually unhappy—we simply cannot know that, because cultural standards and personal temperament interact in complicated ways. But there is no question that many people felt obliged to apologize for the moments of happiness they did encounter. Sinful humanity had best display a somewhat sorrowful humility.https://hbr.org/2012/01/the-history-of-happiness
This changed dramatically with the 18th century and the values of the Enlightenment. Alexander Pope declaimed, “Oh happiness! our being’s end and aim!” while one John Byrom urged that “it was the best thing one could do to be always cheerful…and not suffer any sullenness.” The charge here was double-edged and has remained so. On the one hand, it was now perfectly legitimate to seek happiness. On the other, not being happy, or at least not seeming to be, was a problem to be avoided. Ordinary people began writing about their interest “in enjoying happiness and independence.” Disasters, such as the brutal yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia in 1793, produced recommendations to the survivors to keep up their spirits and avoid excessive grief.
The list of historians working on happiness is not long, but those who’ve tackled some aspect of the subject generally agree: At the level of rhetoric, at least, a significant shift occurred in Western culture around 250 years ago.

Sounds horrible!!! When I got pancreatitis from drinking a few years ago it was the worst agony I've ever experienced. My gall-bladder was literally dumping bile into my intestines.

• I can't leave the house to do anything, because I would need a car to get to my destination, which would potentially run over insects on the road or kill them by having them slam against the windshield. I'm basically trapped in my home unless I absolutely have to leave for activistic purposes, or to get food. This especially sucks because I have a friend who I enjoy hanging out with, and we had also made a habit of going to Halloween Horror Nights every year. Both of which, I can no longer do.
• I can't buy books, because books are made from trees, trees are plants, plants are alive, and therefore something needs to be killed to make that book.
• I can't order anything online in general, because they're sent to your house in a cardboard box, which is made from trees.
• I have to constantly be conscientious of where I step, what I buy, and how every single product I buy is produced, lest I accidentally step on a bug or support an unethical company or purchase an item that seems fairly innocuous on the surface, but in actuality required the death of something to produce.
I hate that people have to bargain with the Demiurge in order for their lives to be easier. It seems like the only options for me from here on out (besides becoming a bodhisattva), are to either be complicit in the deaths of living beings, or alternatively to live a rather boring and stressful life simply so that I'm NOT complicit in the deaths of living beings. This only makes me more angry at my parents than I already was. I didn't ask for any of this.

North America’s vast agricultural heartlands are untapped sources of paper fibre. Every year millions of tons of agricultural residue, like wheat and flax straw, go unused while our Ancient and Endangered Forests are logged to make more paper.
Canopy supports the manufacture of paper made from straw left over after the grain harvest and all other uses, such as animal bedding and maintaining soil integrity, are accounted for. This leftover straw is known as “agricultural residue”.
In many regions the residues are burned, while many agricultural residues happen to be ideal for making paper.
If you care about paper, you should promote this. As a matter of fact, ancient paper was also made from waste materials:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_paper#Paper_primary_materials
Quote
Bast (hemp and flax), cotton, and old rags and ropes were the major input materials for producing the pulp. Sometimes a mixture of materials was also used for pulp making, such as cotton and hemp, or flax and hemp.[39][40] Other uncommon primary materials such as fig tree bark are also reported in some manuscripts.[41]
until Western civilization decided to 'improve' things:
Quote
until the advent of steam-driven paper making machines in the 19th century, which could make paper with fibres from wood pulp. Although older machines pre-dated it, the Fourdrinier papermaking machine became the basis for most modern papermaking. Nicholas Louis Robert of Essonnes, France, was granted a patent for a continuous paper making machine in 1799. At the time he was working for Leger Didot with whom he quarrelled over the ownership of the invention. Didot sent his brother-in-law, John Gamble, to meet Sealy and Henry Fourdrinier, stationers of London, who agreed to finance the project. Gamble was granted British patent 2487 on 20 October 1801. With the help particularly of Bryan Donkin, a skilled and ingenious mechanic, an improved version of the Robert original was installed at Frogmore Paper Mill, Hertfordshire, in 1803, followed by another in 1804. A third machine was installed at the Fourdriniers' own mill at Two Waters. The Fourdriniers also bought a mill at St Neots intending to install two machines there and the process and machines continued to develop.
However, experiments with wood showed no real results in the late 18th century and at the start of the 19th century. By 1800, Matthias Koops (in London, England) further investigated the idea of using wood to make paper, and in 1801 he wrote and published a book titled Historical account of the substances which have been used to describe events, and to convey ideas, from the earliest date, to the invention of paper.[102] His book was printed on paper made from wood shavings (and adhered together). No pages were fabricated using the pulping method (from either rags or wood). He received financial support from the royal family to make his printing machines and acquire the materials and infrastructure needed to start his printing business. But his enterprise was short lived. Only a few years following his first and only printed book (the one he wrote and printed), he went bankrupt. The book was very well done (strong and had a fine appearance), but it was very costly.[103][104][105]
Then in the 1830s and 1840s, two men on two different continents took up the challenge, but from a totally new perspective. Both Friedrich Gottlob Keller and Charles Fenerty began experiments with wood but using the same technique used in paper making; instead of pulping rags, they thought about pulping wood. And at about the same time, by mid-1844, they announced their findings. They invented a machine which extracted the fibres from wood (exactly as with rags) and made paper from it. Charles Fenerty also bleached the pulp so that the paper was white. This started a new era for paper making. By the end of the 19th-century almost all printers in the western world were using wood instead of rags to make paper.[106]

Post by: rp on July 08, 2021, 12:55:28 am
Westerners always obsess over intelligence.
A better question would be: what is the most Aryan bug in the world?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacrotermitinaeQuoteThe worker termites bring plant material such as dried grass, decaying wood and leaf litter, back to the mound. This material is chewed up and semi-digested by the termites, fertilised with their faeces and placed in the chambers where it is quickly colonised by the fungus to form a "fungus comb". The termites cultivate these fungus gardens, adding more substrate as required, and removing the older parts of the comb for consumption by all members of the colony.[5]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungus-growing_antsQuoteLeaf cutter ants are sensitive enough to adapt to the fungi's reaction to different plant material, apparently detecting chemical signals from the fungus. If a particular type of leaf is toxic to the fungus, the colony will no longer collect it.
...
The fungi used by the higher attine ants no longer produce spores. These ants fully domesticated their fungal partner 15 million years ago, a process that took 30 million years to complete.[8] Their fungi produce nutritious and swollen hyphal tips (gongylidia) that grow in bundles called staphylae, to specifically feed the ants.[9]
...
The Atta colombica species, unusually for the Attine tribe, have an external waste heap. Waste transporters take the waste, which consists of used substrate and discarded fungus, to the waste heap. Once dropped off at the refuse dump, the heap workers organise the waste and constantly shuffle it around to aid decomposition. A compelling observation of A. colombica was the dead ants placed around the perimeter of the waste heap.[10][11]
Just as there are Aryan bugs, so there are apparently Turanian bugs as well:
https://modernfarmer.com/2014/04/meet-earths-oldest-farmers-ants/
Quote
If cutter ants are the vegetable farmers of the ant world, herder ants are the ranchers.
Much the same way we keep cattle, these ants keep aphids, which drink plants’ nutrients and excrete a sugary substance called honeydew that ants eat. Some species of herder ants follow the green creatures, devouring their droppings, while others milk their herds by tickling them with their antennae. The only difference is that the milk comes out of the cows’ udders while the honeydew flows out of the aphids’ anus — not that the ants seem to mind.
In return, ants shepherd their bug flocks to better pastures and shield them from rain, sometimes carrying them from one plant to another. Ants care for and protect aphids’ eggs, treating them as their own and keeping them safe inside their colonies for winter. When a young queen of a “dairy ant” colony leaves on a mating flight, she brings an aphid in her mouth to her new home. And just like humans take away their animals’ freedom in exchange for care and protection, so do ants. Sometimes they bite off aphids’ wings so the “milk cows” won’t fly away, and release chemicals that make aphids move slower, becoming more docile. To reciprocate, ants protect their livestock from predators. They attack ladybugs that try to feast on their herds just like we would ward off a pack of wolves from our bovine beasts. And yet, much like we eat our cattle, ants sometimes devour aphids too.

"The most common algae they can eat, the red alga Polysiphonia, are less competitive than the inedible species and so the damselfish help them out by killing off their rivals. This 'gardening' behavior results in a mutualistic association between Polysiphonia and this particular species of damselfish and it is notable for being one of the first examples of mutualism to be found in a non-terrestrial habitat. Speaking about the results, Hata said, "Obligate reciprocal interaction between marine algae and herbivorous damselfish, called 'cultivation mutualism' was found to be largely maintained in the Indo-West Pacific."
Note in particular that the damselfish kill the MORE COMPETITIVE algae to help the LESS COMPETITIVE algae. Hence they are not just Aryans, they are literally National Socialists!

"The egoism of human nature is so strongly antagonistic to any such sympathy, that true friendship belongs to that class of things—the sea-serpent, for instance,—with regard to which no one knows whether they are fabulous or really exist somewhere or other." — Arthur Schopenhauer
SCHOPENHAUER: How to Spot a Fake Friend (What Is a Real Friend?)
Quote
Is real friendship even possible? This is the question Schopenhauer tries to answer.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEvERJ38idw
The basis of true friendship, for Schopenhauer, is an objective compassion with the weal and woe of your friend. The word “objective” here denotes disinterest – a good friend is completely selfless, and identifies himself completely with his friend, so much so that not even a trace of a selfish motive for the friendship is left.
Suffice to say, that for Schopenhauer, this is an ideal that is almost never reached in the real world. He even wonders if it’s possible at all.
Schopenhauer’s cynical view of friendship is exemplified by a passage in which he does admit that true friendship might be possible after all, only to add the disclaimer that surely, some kind of secret personal motive must be at play as well. Still, we might as well regard this kind of friendship as “genuine.” Even though it’s not perfect, it’s the best we can hope for, because at bottom, at least there is some real feeling of compassion in there.
So, the question arises: how do you know if a friend is real or fake? There are two ways to know.
You know a friend is real if circumstances force him to make some kind of great sacrifice for you. If misfortune befalls you, who of your friends will be there for you? And which of them will disappear from your life? Will your friends support you in difficult times, or will they not bother?

SCHOPENHAUER: Being Alone (How to Deal With Society)
Quote
“To be self-sufficient, to be all in all to oneself, to want for nothing, to be able to say omnia mea mecum porto [everything I have, I carry with me]—that is assuredly the chief qualification for happiness.”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSbaqqDfGxU
In order to live and to function in society, we must make sacrifices. This is inevitable. We must get along with other people to get what we want. We must be cooperative and generally be pleasant to be around. Above all, we must be able to relate to the common man.
For the intelligent person, and especially the man of genius, this is a big burden to carry. For the genius, it’s hard to relate to the common man. He will inevitably feel alone.
Therefore, it’s for the best if he learns to enjoy solitude.
But why is society so dull in the first place? Schopenhauer’s answer is elitist: because most people are dull. And it’s exactly because most people are dull, that they are driven to interaction with others. It’s as if the average person is not a full person by himself, and needs others to complete him.
The intelligent mind can occupy itself and does not need distractions or empty activity. But for the average person, this kind of activity, literally just passing the time, becomes necessary.
However, Schopenhauer also concedes that the need for solitude is directly related to age. The younger you are, the more need you have for socializing. This is also because your mind is not yet fully developed: the younger we are, the more we are like others.
The essay closes with a word of warning. Seclusion, being alone, has its drawbacks. For example, Schopenhauer notes that we become more irritable by being alone. We are more easily annoyed by minor things because we aren’t accustomed to the turmoils of regular life.
A small rock, thrown into a still lake, causes a notable disturbance. The same rock thrown into a stormy sea, not nearly as much. But this is a small price to pay for peace of mind, which we attain by removing ourselves from the stormy seas of society.

The nineteenth-century German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer observed that nature is driven by an all-encompassing force, which he called Will, or more specifically, the Will-To-Live. This force is unconscious, aimless, and blind, and gives rise to an insatiable striving within human beings. We live our lives grasping, craving, and attaching ourselves to external things, and we feed on other living organisms to perpetuate our own existence, all of which is a manifestation of Will.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCETckUx97o
Thus, the will lies at the root of suffering, as our never-ending hunger (and our inability to satiate it) results in an ongoing pursuit of pleasure that never, ever satisfies in the long run. To cope with the misery of life, Schopenhauer took the effort to construct a philosophy to help us attain a state of happiness, which may seem a bit strange as he’s such a pessimistic thinker. But similar to a philosopher and spiritual teacher that lived about 2,500 years ago named the Buddha, Schopenhauer rigorously examined and endured the illnesses of existence before he came up with a cure.
After his death, Schopenhauer left us with an unfinished manuscript titled “Die Kunst, glücklich zu sein,” which can be translated as “The art of being happy”, and contains fifty rules for life. This video is based on the fifty rules by Arthur Schopenhauer, and explores how we can reduce the pain of life.

"Children should be kept from all kinds of instruction that may make errors possible until their sixteenth year, that is to say, from philosophy, religion, and general views of every description; because it is the errors that are acquired in early days that remain, as a rule, ineradicable, and because the faculty of judgement is the last to arrive at maturity." — Arthur Schopenhauer
SCHOPENHAUER: How Education Makes You Dumber
Quote
In the natural state, humans form ideas based on their observations of the world. Experience comes before learning – this is how humans make sense of the world around them. When ideas are generated in this way, there is an obvious link between an observation and the subsequent idea.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE30yosa0cs
Traditional education flips this dynamic on its head. In traditional, or, artificial education as Schopenhauer calls it, the idea precedes the experience.
What happens when you learn the ideas, before you have the necessary experience, is you will apply those ideas wrongly as soon as you step out of the classroom into the real world.
The teacher is busy cramming the head of the student full of ideas, instead of teaching the student how to think in the first place. Children will then grow up with a worldview that is based on hearsay and opinion, and they are rarely equipped to handle the real world.
Children are submerged in a ready-made apparatus of opinion and prejudice, and if the real world conflicts with this web of ideas – which is bound to happen as the child grows up, then he will not change his opinion but rather lash out at the world instead. Although lacking the proper term, Schopenhauer is describing here what we would call cognitive dissonance today.
Education should seek to put observation before ideas and thus mimick the natural way in which humans learn things.
However, Schopenhauer also notes that during youth, our faculties of judgment are not yet fully developed. This is why he proposes that in the first years of a child’s education, there will be no subject matter that falls into what we would call “the humanities” today. So no philosophy, no religion, no matters of opinion.
Until age 16, a child should be taught only those subjects in which objective errors are possible, for example, mathematics or languages. Schopenhauer also mentions history here, but only the kind of history that is concerned with memorization, such as remembering dates.
The added benefit of this approach, says Schopenhauer, is that our memory is the strongest during our youth. And those things we memorize when we are young, we often remember for life.
Therefore it’s of great importance that these youthful years are used to let children soak up as much quality information as possible. Schopenhauer proposes that a group of experts from every branch of knowledge comes together every 10 years, to decide on a canon of essential knowledge.
Schopenhauer argues that maturity must come with experience. Today, we might say this is the difference between knowledge and wisdom. For Schopenhauer, engaging with the real world is of extreme importance.

The use of psychedelic drugs is associated with lower levels of complex posttraumatic stress symptoms and internalized shame in adults who suffered maltreatment in childhood, according to new research published in the journal Chronic Stress.Entire Article: https://www.psypost.org/2021/09/psychedelics-might-reduce-internalized-shame-and-complex-trauma-symptoms-in-those-with-a-history-of-childhood-abuse-61903
“There’s an abundance of clinical studies of the therapeutic effects of psychedelics, but few studies have examined the therapeutic potential of psychedelic use in naturalistic (non-clinical) settings,” said study author CJ Healy, a PhD student at The New School for Social Research.
“Most of the people in the world who are healing themselves with psychedelics are taking them in naturalistic settings — in nature, with friends, at home, at a rave — and so I wanted to study empirically whether this naturalistic, therapeutic use of psychedelics is also showing benefits in terms of symptom reduction and improvements in self-concept, particularly among people with histories of complex trauma in childhood.”
Adolescents who are better at identifying their feelings are less likely to experience anxiety and depression in response to stress
Quote
An intensive longitudinal study found evidence that adolescents who are better able to differentiate their emotions are less likely to develop mental health symptoms in response to stress. The findings were published in Clinical Psychological Science.Entire article: https://www.psypost.org/2021/09/adolescents-who-are-better-at-identifying-their-feelings-are-less-likely-to-experience-anxiety-and-depression-in-response-to-stress-61907
It has been widely documented that exposure to stress can lead to psychological issues, especially during adolescence — a time when issues such as depression and anxiety often emerge. But not everyone develops psychological symptoms in response to stress, leading affective science researchers to look for factors that shield adolescents from these outcomes.
The literature suggests that one of these protective factors is emotion regulation, and researchers Erik C. Nook and his team hoped to replicate and extend these findings. The study authors wondered whether the ability to accurately identify one’s emotions, a key aspect of emotion regulation, would mitigate the psychological impact of stress among adolescents. This skill, referred to as emotion differentiation, tends to be particularly low during adolescence.

Cue the plastic-eating mushroom. Scientists have discovered that microorganisms can play an important role in ridding the planet of waste-plastic, as over 90 genera of bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes have the ability to degrade plastic. The mycelium of Pestalotiopsis microspora can eat plastic products as its primary food source and survive without air or light. This makes it a marvelous mushroom for cleaning up the plastic in our landfills and littering our environment.https://mindseteco.co/plastic-eating-mushroom/

If Western civilization survives much longer then the fall of the human spirit is certainly inevitable and any chance of rectifying the errors of the Neolithic Revolution will be rendered impossible as humanity returns to full-blown tribalism en-masse.

Haven't played this game seriously in quite a while, but the latest expansion Shadowlands goes live on the 26th of this month and I think I'm about to jump back in the fray. I know Aryanists, especially 90sRF probably do not think too highly of it because it's in 3D, but it's the only game I've played for the last two decades besides Diablo III.
If you're willing to overlook the fact that most of them are 3D I'd be happy to provide recommendations for several Counterculture-era videogame franchises.

WoW is in 3D? I don't mind 3D so much as long as the models are painted by a human and not a computer generated texture. I don't need steel, gold, silver, etc. to look like actual steel, gold, silver, etc. I want to see an artists stylized representation of them. I don't mind low-polygon models either, as long as they are hand painted.
Currently playing Total War: Warhammer II, and will be moving onto Warhammer III when it releases on Feb. 17th. Don't usually have the time or desire to play more than one game at a time.
Anyway, thought I'd post this here as it's one of my favorites:

I have a question I've been meaning to ask for a while. Why do Aryanists make a distinction between 'tyranny', 'autocracy', 'despotism', 'autoritarianism', 'totalitarianism', 'dictatorship', and 'absolute monarchy' when these terms more or less convey the same meaning?
Quote
Tyranny
cruel and oppressive government or rule.
Despotism
the exercise of absolute power, especially in a cruel and oppressive way.
Quote
Autocracy
a system of government by one person with absolute power.
Authoritarianism
favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom.
Totalitarianism
a system of government that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state.
Dictatorship
government by a dictator.
Absolute Monarchy
a monarchy that is not limited or restrained by laws or a constitution.
Not all autocrats\authoritarians\totalitarians\dictators\absolute monarchs have been tyrants and despots. Any leader can become a tyrant and despotic. Trump was democratically elected, yet Trump is a tyrant and a despot, as a perfect example.

90sRetroFan/AS has explicitly stated that he trusts despotism:
(From the 'Battle of Marathon' thread)
Quote
For example, we do not complain about mask/social distancing/lockdown mandates. It is not that we "tolerate" despotic rule; it is that we trust it.
And I thought National Socialism supported personal freedom?

So why are you asking me? I suspect when 90s stated that he was observing the first part of the definition of 'despotism' which is inline with totalitarianism, not the second part of the sentence?
Quote
Despotism
the exercise of absolute power,especially in a cruel and oppressive way.
I happen to think that this is were part of the confusion in regards to these words stems from, however. I personally make a distinction between tyranny\despotism and the rest. If you're wondering why 90s doesn't, why not ask him instead? 90s and I are not the same person....

...true socialism values the individual and encourages him in individual efficiency, at the same time holding that his interests as an individual must be in consonance with those of the community. — Adolf Hitler
If by "personal freedom" you mean a person gets to do whatever they want; to whom ever they want, whenever they want, like democratic peoples, then the answer is 'no', National Socialism does not support that type of "personal freedom". If by "personal freedom" you mean a person can do whatever they want as long as it doesn't screw anyone else over, or the folk for that matter, then the answer is 'yes', National Socialism supports "personal freedom".

I don't even define freedom as the ability to do something. That's better defined as power. Freedom to me is the ability NOT to do something.

"Does it not occur to them that nobody chooses to be “stupid enough to fall for a scam”? Why would they want that to happen to themselves?"
No one wants to fall for a scam, but many people want profit unearned through honest labour, hence fall for greed scams which apparently offer this to them. Would you agree that X who does not want unearned profit deserves better than Y who does? If so, then since X will avoid the greed scam that Y will fall for, then would you agree that both got what they deserved?
It is true that Z who (like Y) also wants unearned profit but who (unlike Y) is smart enough to see through the greed scam will (like X) also not fall for it, but then it is Z who has not gotten what they deserve. Comparing X to Z, X is still the better person, yet Z by compensating with mere intelligence is doing no worse than X is. Does this not seem unfair to you? Or comparing Y and Z, both are equally bad people, but Z by compensating with mere intelligence is doing better than Y. Does this not seem unfair to you?
We should want a greed scam to exist that both Y and Z fall for, leaving only X unscathed. Do you not want this?
"condoning of scammers"
If the scammer uses only greed scams and is scamming purely to take down Y and Z and all others like them, and then using the gains to help X and others like them, the scammer is doing God's work. If the scammer is in it for personal gain, but still only uses greed scams, at least they are only gaining at the expense of other bad people, which makes them harmless. The only scammers who are our enemies are those who use compassion scams.

Of course.
"If the scammer uses only greed scams and is scamming purely to take down Y and Z and all others like them, and then using the gains to help X and others like them, the scammer is doing God's work.

The only scammers who are our enemies are those who use compassion scams."
I agree. I was originally going to end my comment with "The only people who deserve to be scammed are scammers", although as you point out, the statement isn't specific enough since scamming ignoble non-scammers would also be valid.

Cool Breeze - Good Good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ8Xs2AwYyg
Quote
[Verse 1]
Hey I remember when I came, came
I didn't have to ask nobody in the streets
To scream my name, name
Cause we got a lock on this whole city
And got a key to the Dirty South, and the South coast
Now play with me
So bring your semi thirty art thirty
If you put your hands on a Calhoun player
It's gon' get dirty, dirty
And everybody trying to claim boss
But that's just talk, you don't really wanna turn these mics off
They trying to slick us with our own slang
Using our words like back and forth
Just calling us up out our name
See and for that they gonna pay, pay
Everything they did in one week, I'mma do in one day
You can say that it's about to start
Don't call us rappers
'Cause nowadays a rapper ain't considered smart
So I just stay away from those haters
And anybody in my clique who roll with me, you a Creator
So it's like, who do you believe in
Just like the hustler came back once
The clock is gon' strike twelve again
And I'm most requested in my old hood
From Martel to Springdale
And all through Club Candlewood
You can ask Cool Cane or Dre-High
Either Po-boy, Dirty Red, or they ?gon' cut? I'm fire, fire
And they consider me that raw, raw
And your partners where you represent
They say you got that flaw, flaw
And Cool Breeze, he got that hard, hard
And ain't nobody taking nothing
And don't want nothing to start, start
So when I'm riding through the hood, hood
They respect me when they see me
'Cause they know I got that good, good
[Hook]
That's right, we got that GOOD, GOOD
From every street to every borough
And back to every HOOD, HOOD
That's right, we got that GOOD, GOOD
From every street to every borough
And back to every HOOD, HOOD
That's right, we got that GOOD, GOOD
From every street to every borough
And back to every HOOD, HOOD
That's right, we got that GOOD, GOOD
From every street to every borough
And back to every HOOD, HOOD
[Verse 2]
And can't nobody touch my team, team
Just like EJ from Southwest ATL, my partner got that green, green
And we gon' come through kicking the most game
Taking fo' sho' routes, and pointing out the lane, lanes
So when you come and you ride through
It won't be no mystery, who everybody listening to
That's right, cause all we do is stack, stack
And Organize this Noize, and everybody know that
Plus we testing out this new sound
Everybody done put down
Now we breaking up some new ground
Cause we serve 'em up that real, real
And be forever Dirty South, in this place we live, live
That's what make the brothers hawk, hawk
Trying to step up and showcase, all that is is talk, talk
See Cool Breeze, he ain't your fool, fool
So don't ask me no questions, like what makes me so cool, cool
They'd rather see me in the Chain Gang
Than rolling a V-12, riding on them thang, thangs
I get respect out to Alabama
To the West Coast to the East, then right back to Atlanta
And that's how we keep it tight, tight
I come through busting the door first
Then we ship it out the same night
So when I'm riding through the hood, hood
They respect me when they see me
'Cause they know I got that good, good
[Hook]
That's right, we got that GOOD, GOOD
From every street to every borough
And back to every HOOD, HOOD
That's right, we got that GOOD, GOOD
From every street to every borough
And back to every HOOD, HOOD
That's right, we got that GOOD, GOOD
From every street to every borough
And back to every HOOD, HOOD
That's right, we got that GOOD, GOOD
From every street to every borough
And back to every HOOD, HOOD
That's right, we got that GOOD, GOOD
From every street to every borough
And back to every HOOD, HOOD
That's right, we got that GOOD, GOOD
From every street to every borough

So best believe you got's to watch folks
You hit cho' lights, they have they face off in yo place
Just like a cockroach
Tryin' to hit chu' for yo index
Tear some paper out the back and re-arrange your whole contents
That's why you gotta keep yo history
In a book so when they look it'll never be a mystery
I've seen people come and leave, comeback and leave
Come back and still ain't stack no G's
So everybody won't be pushin' buttons
Just the ones who gave they all when you know they didn't have nothin'
We comin' what chu' gonna do when we run

See growin' up is like a girlfriend
Ya keep ya cool, take ya time, and when ya day come you put it in
That's a reflection on ya whole life
From the moments you wake up to those minutes that you pray at night
Like when they pushed you at the playground
And all ya friends would wonder
Why you yelled 'the field' before you threw down
That's just yo instincts tryin' to tell ya heart
That is ya mother wished the best for you
You'd be tested it from the jump start
So that's when people come around and wonder
What make you tick, how you do it, but you keep ya business on the under
I ask my folks question every season
They say the Lord blessed every child, boy he blessed you with a reason
So with that I go for years and years
On a quest to return and reveal to my peers
What we waiting for, let's finish it (The field)
We can't run no more, we innocent (The field)
What we waiting for, we innocent (The field)
We can't run no more, let's finish it (The field)

And they left certain words that only you could say
Because they knew you looked
That's like your future bein' planned for you
You know who real and who fake and who ya friends and who gon' be loyal
You keep yo thoughts on a level
That don't nobody know what chu' be doin' next
Cause you change like the weather
You the chosen, the one who reveal
Every battle that we battled and every hill that we build
Your life is their forever burnin' torch
So the messages you carry reach and travel importance
See in the book you was this place that people actually lived
They disappeared in the mists of the hemispheres
But when they return they speak of travelin' on their journey back home
We shall rise once again and let it be known

These epiphytes get everything that they need to survive through their leaves - from the sun, moisture from the air, and organic matter that falls their way. Tillandsia do not use their roots for nutrients, just as an anchor!
Air plants are freegans!? :o
Quote
Are there any edible air plants?https://www.ambius.com/blog/air-plants/
Air plants, of the genus Tillandsia, are making bold statements in the world of interior decor. Not everyone has a green thumb and these days, in a world of on-the-go, low maintenance is key.
It’s not uncommon for air plants to be referred to as the medusa plant, sea urchin plant, and jellyfish plant because of their curvy, layered leaves. If you’ve ever chopped a pineapple, you’ve met a relative of the air plant! Air plants are not edible whatsoever, but they possess many of the same qualities as the crown.
Air plants are also related to ferns, succulents, and Spanish moss!
Caring for an air plant and watching it grow can be rewarding in itself, but they also provide health benefits. Indoor plants act as an air purifier, filtering toxins and debris from the air we breathe. If that’s not enough reason to bring the green inside, what is?
Air plants sound like anti-Westerner plants?

Air plants have no stems and don’t require soil to grow. They’re also related to . . . pineapples?

In other words, no matter how much Yahweh tries to change air plants they would still be down to help humans and non-humans alike attempt to build another Tower of Babylon to spite Yahweh? How are air plants not the superior plant on this planet? They are obviously also anti-tribalism...

First off, thankfully, no, air plants are not toxic to humans or pets. So if your cat, or dog, or child, eats your air plant it will be no worse for wear. It is far more likely that toxins may be introduced to your air plant. Here's what the toxins are and how to avoid them.https://modernairplants.com/air-plants-toxins/

I would love to know, beyond obvious democratic inclinations, why the westerner who made this happen feels that it holds any value what-so-ever? Other than monetary value on sites like Youtube, what value do bots have on a forum such as this? We are not here for money and fame westerner, and the best way to learn a new idea like the back of your hand is to actually participate in said idea.
Just a thought...

When misguided public opinion honors what is despicable and despises what is honorable, punishes virtue and rewards vice, encourages what is harmful and discourages what is useful, applauds falsehood and smothers truth under indifference or insult, a nation turns its back on progress and can be restored only by the terrible lessons of catastrophe.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K6KSxqk3qY
