Chicken or the egg question here: Does believing lies make you crazy or does being crazy make you believe lies?

(and collectively, can we judge false narratives by the collective level of psychosis in the people supporting it?)

Believing falsehoods can contribute to psychological issues, though the extent depends on the nature, context, and persistence of the false beliefs. Here’s a concise breakdown based on available evidence:

Cognitive Dissonance: Holding false beliefs that conflict with reality or other beliefs can create mental discomfort, leading to stress, anxiety, or defensive behaviors as individuals try to reconcile contradictions (Festinger, 1957).

Delusional Beliefs: In extreme cases, persistent false beliefs, like those in delusional disorders, are linked to psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. These can impair functioning and emotional stability (APA, DSM-5).

Misinformation and Anxiety: Studies (e.g., Wang et al., 2019) suggest exposure to false information, especially in high-stakes contexts like health or politics, can increase anxiety, mistrust, and decision-making errors. For instance, believing false health claims may lead to stress or harmful choices.

Social and Emotional Impact: False beliefs can strain relationships or lead to isolation if they alienate others, fostering loneliness or depression.

another question: Do the cray-cray put off pheromones, etc, that contributes to the collective cray-cray?

An elite unit of scientists working for the Defense Intelligence Agency concluded three months after the pandemic began that COVID-19 likely was genetically manufactured and escaped a Chinese lab rather than evolving in nature as Dr. Anthony Fauci claimed, a bombshell revelation now at the heart of ongoing investigations into a possible U.S. intelligence cover-up.

Wiz Khalifa - See You Again ft. Charlie Puth [Official Video] Furious 7 Soundtrack


"See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth is a heartfelt tribute that resonates deeply with themes of friendship and remembrance. Featured in the "Furious 7" soundtrack, this emotional ballad captures the essence of saying goodbye while celebrating the memories shared with loved ones.

Lyrics:
It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again

Damn, who knew?
All the planes we flew, good things we been through
That I'd be standin' right here talkin' to you
'Bout another path, I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But somethin' told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up, look at things different, see the bigger picture
Those were the days, hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place (see you in a better place)
Uh

How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everythin' I went through, you were standin' there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride

It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (I'll see you again)
We've come a long way (yeah, we came a long way)
From where we began (you know where we started)
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (let me tell you)
When I see you again

Oh, oh
Ooh (yeah)

First, you both go out your way and the vibe is feelin' strong
And what's small turned to a friendship, a friendship turned to a bond
And that bond'll never be broken, the love will never get lost
(The love never get lost)
And when brotherhood come first, then the line'll never be crossed
Established it on our own when that line had to be drawn
And that line is what we reached, so remember me when I'm gone
(Remember me when I'm gone)

How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everythin' I went through, you were standin' there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride

So let the light guide your way, yeah
Hold every memory as you go
And every road you take
Will always lead you home, home

It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again

Oh (uh), oh (yeah-yeah, yeah)
Ooh (yo, yo, uh)
When I see you again (see you again, yeah, yeah)
Oh (yeah), oh (yeah, yeah, oh-oh)
Ooh (uh-huh, yup)
When I see you again

While "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth is indeed a poignant tribute to Paul Walker, it’s disheartening to reflect on the circumstances that led to his untimely death. The tragic reality is that this song may never have existed if it weren't for the reckless actions of a drunk driver, whose poor choices took Paul away from us far too soon.

Driving under the influence is not just foolish; it’s a dangerous gamble that endangers lives and devastates families. The impact of drugs and alcohol on driving is a serious issue that needs to be addressed more vigorously. It’s high time we hold these "road killers" accountable and advocate for stricter penalties. Perhaps individuals who take it upon themselves to stop a drunk driver should be allowed to rampage their vehicles to force them to a halt, with the assurance that their own cars would be repaired at no cost to them, ultimately covered by the criminal responsible. We must work towards a future where such senseless tragedies are prevented, ensuring that no more lives are lost due to the irresponsibility of a few.

I completely agree with you. It's tragic to think that "See You Again" may never have been created if it weren't for the senseless loss of Paul Walker. His death was a stark reminder of the consequences of reckless behaviour on the roads.

I believe that anyone who chooses to drive under the influence, whether from alcohol or drugs, should face severe consequences. A lifelong prison sentence, perhaps in work camps, would be a fitting punishment for these reckless individuals. They need to understand the gravity of their actions and the lives they put at risk. It's time we take a stand against this kind of behaviour and ensure that justice is served for those who suffer due to the irresponsibility of others.

The Atlantic makes that case that "the foundation of the AI industry is a scam" and that AI "is not what its developers are selling it as: a new class of thinking — and, soon, feeling — machines."

Peace up, A-Town down
Yeah! Okay
Usher (Usher, Usher, Usher, Usher)
Lil Jon
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let's go

Up in the club with my homies, trying to get a lil' V-I
Keep it down on the low key (low key)
You should know how it feels (hey)
I seen shorty, she was checking up on me
From the game she was spitting in my ear
You would think that she know me (know me)
I decided to chill (okay)

Conversation got heavy (hey)
She had me feeling like she's ready to blow (watch out)
Oh (watch out)
She's saying, come get me (come get me)
So I got up and followed her to the floor
She said, "Baby, let's go"
When I told her, I said

(Yeah) yeah
Shorty got down low, said, "Come and get me"
(Yeah) yeah
I got so caught up, I forgot she told me
(Yeah) yeah
Her and my girl, used to be the best of homies
(Yeah) yeah
Next thing I knew, she was all up on me screaming
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

So she's all up in my head now, got me thinking
That it might be a good idea to take her with me
'Cause she's ready to leave (ready to leave now) (let's go)
And I got to keep it real now
'Cause on a one to ten, she's a certified 20
But that just ain't me, hey

'Cause I don't know, if I take that chance
Just where's it gonna lead
But what I do know is the way she dance
Make shorty alright with me
The way she get low
I'm like, yeah, just work that out for me
She asks for one more dance, and I'm like, yeah
How the hell am I supposed to leave?
And I say

(Yeah) yeah
Shorty got down low, said, "Come and get me"
(Yeah) yeah
I got so caught up, I forgot she told me
(Yeah) yeah
Her and my girl, used to be the best of homies
(Yeah) yeah
Next thing I knew, she was all up on me screaming
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Hey, hey, Luda)

Watch out, my outfit's ridiculous
In the club looking so conspicuous
And rawr, these women all on the prowl
If you hold the head steady, I'ma milk the cow (yeah)
And forget about game, I'ma spit the truth (what?)
I won't stop 'til I get 'em in their birthday suit (yeah!)
So gimme the rhythm and it'll be off with their clothes
Then bend over to the front and touch your toes

Left the Jag' and I took the Rolls
If they ain't cutting, then I put em on foot patrol (let's go)
How you like me now?
When my pinky's valued over three hundred thousand
Let's drink, you the one to please (yeah)
Ludacris fill cups like double D's (yeah)
Me and Ursh' once more, and we leaves 'em dead
We want a lady in the street but a freak in the bed, that say

(Yeah) yeah
Shorty got down low, said, "Come and get me"
(Yeah) yeah
I got so caught up, I forgot she told me
(Yeah) yeah
Her and my girl, used to be the best of homies
(Yeah) yeah
Next thing I knew, she was all up on me screaming
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Take that and rewind it back
Lil Jon got the beat that make your booty go
Take that, rewind it back
Usher got the voice make your booty go
Take that, rewind it back
Ludacris got the flow to make your booty go
Take that, rewind it back
Lil Jon got the beat that make your booty go

İsrail’in Gazze’ye saldırılarında hayatını kaybedenlerin sayısı, 54 bin 927'ye, yaralıların sayısı da 126 bin 615'e yükseldi. Gazze’de Son 24 saatte 47 kişi katledildi evrensel.net/haber/556718/isra…

The absolute silence from the Madleen crew members’ govts is beyond words, "reflects Israeli impunity."

"If any other state had sent its military forces to seize a small civilian boat carrying 12 unarmed civilians [in international waters], it would immediately be recognised for the act of state piracy that it indisputably is."8

"But for Israel, there’s always an exception.”

Francesca Albanese, special rapporteur with the United Nations, who was speaking with the crew of the Madleen as they were being attacked by Israel in international waters, repeats that:

“Breaking the siege is a legal duty for states, and a moral imperative for all of us.”

“Every Mediterranean port should send boats with aid, solidarity, and humanity to Gaza. They shall sail together—united, they will be unstoppable.”

I got a "screamer" and his FUs in my x notifications... something about the JEWS! 😆 Totally unrelated to the conversation. So, I thought he should know that HE and democrats, even Muslims, ARE supporting Jews, the bankers, the lawyers, Hollywood, Music Industry, diamond industry, etc, etc. 🙄
in reply to Yogthos

Yes, I know, and environment recognition can be done in a more... flexible way, but we need to look at what we call AI.

For example, automatic parking on cars inevitably has an adaptive component, but we can be sure that it won't do anything stupid either (and for example, Tesla chose to go with full machine learning on it, and they gives much worse results than the competition).

Agriculture was already using semi-automated vehicles, notably via very precise GNSS positioning, for example (and besides, I'm not convinced by a tractor without a cockpit, having a supervisor seems to me to be preferable no matter what level of automation you reach, except in some special cases (subways in particular, since they have a very controlled environment, but then you don’t need any kind of AI)).

In short, AI as it is generally referred to today is not relevant here, in my opinion. Then again, maybe it's a completely different type of AI that's relevant in this case, but that's not really the point (and it's been around a lot longer, and most people don’t complain about it).

That said, I interpreted your message as “these new AIs can have a relevant use like here", but perhaps it meant “there are other types of AIs that shouldn't be mixed up with the ones they're trying to sell us everywhere, and which aren't to be thrown away”, in which case we agree and I'm sorry for the off-topic.

Die Faschisierung ist nur möglich, weil die Grundlagen und das Personal der Repression schon vorhanden sind. Genau deswegen ist radikaler Aktivismus rund um die Themen Grenzen, Polizei und Gefängnisse antifaschistische Arbeit. Das sind die Nervenzentren der Faschisierung. [...] Wenn man sagt, »der Staat wird faschistisch«, dann besteht die Gefahr, dass man ausblendet, inwiefern das faschistische Phänomen aus dem bereits bestehenden Staat erwachsen ist. Es besteht die Gefahr, das man das Regime, dem die Faschisierung entspringt, zu dessen Gegenteil oder sogar zu dessen Gegenmittel verklärt. [...]

Der Kapitalismus produziert überschüssige Bevölkerungen und er klassifiziert ganze Gruppen als entbehrlich, minderwertig oder unwürdig. Der Faschismus ist ein bewusstes, gewaltsames Projekt zur Bestätigung und Durchsetzung dieser Strukturen. Man könnte vielleicht sagen, der Kapitalismus ist zwar immer rassistisch, aber es gibt Momente, in denen das Rassistische als affirmatives, politisches Projekt in den Vordergrund tritt. Dort geht es dann nicht mehr nur darum, Hierarchien von Würde, Privilegien und Entbehrlichkeit zu akzeptieren, sondern diese festzuschreiben, herzustellen und ihrer Logik bis zur Auslöschung zu folgen.

"This could be turned off immediately if people put enough pressure on the right governments, the right leaders.

I think, if we don’t turn it off soon, there won’t be a Gaza and there certainly won’t be Palestinians in Gaza."

Guns N' Roses - Paradise City (Official Music Video)


"Paradise City" by Guns N' Roses is a classic anthem that captures the essence of rock 'n' roll with its electrifying guitar riffs and powerful lyrics. The song transports listeners to a place of freedom and nostalgia, making it a timeless favourite among fans of the genre.

Lyrics:
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home (I want you, please, take me home)

Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home (I want you, please, take me home)

Just an urchin living under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case, so buy me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line

Rags and riches, or so they say, you gotta
Keep pushing for the fortune and fame
You know it's, it's all a gamble when it's just a game
You treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doing their time

Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home? Yeah-yeah

Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home

Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here, I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette, but I can't see
Tell me, who you're gonna believe?

Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah-yeah

Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home? Yeah

So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away

Captain America's been torn apart now
He's a court jester with a broken heart
He said, "Turn me around and take me back to the start"
I must be losin' my mind, "Are you blind?"
"I've seen it all a million times"

Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah-yeah

Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home?

Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home, yeah-yeah

Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home?
Home

I wanna go, I wanna know
I want you, please, take me home
I wanna see how good it can be
I want you, please, take me home

Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home (I want you, please, take me home)

Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home?

Take me down, ooh yeah, spin me 'round
Oh, won't you please take me home?
I wanna see how good it can be
I want you, please, take me home

I wanna see how good it can be
Oh, oh, take me home

Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
I want you, please, take me home (I want you, I want you, take me home)

I wanna go (I wanna), I wanna know (I wanna)
I want you, please, take me home, yeah
Baby, yeah

DÜŞMAN HUKUKU.

Kadir Dağhan

Hukukun evrenselliği tüm bireyler, toplumlar için geçerli olması gereken bir kavramdır.
Ne yazık ki sadece söylem olarak vardır.
Hukuku belirleyen her zaman muktedirler olmuş ve oluyor ne yazık ki.
Örneğin son günlerde servis edilen bazı görüntüler var.
Gereksiz, anlamsız, hukuksuz, haksız ya da hukuki, haklı, gerekli gerekçelerle de olsa elleri kelepçeli insanların görüntüleri servis ediliyor.
Bu nedenlerle de bazı kesimlerce bir deyim kullanılıyor sıklıkla.
- Düşman Hukuku.-
Tepkilerin haklılığı, haksızlığını bir yana..
Kendi adıma merak ediyor ve de her zaman olduğu gibi dostça sormak istiyorum.
Bir asırdır bu coğrafyada hangi gün uygulanmadı bu düşman hukuku denilen garabet?
Veya ne zaman uygulandı yurttaş, adil, dost hukuku?
Dillerine, kimliklerine sahip çıkmak isteyenler için hangi hukuk söz konusu oldu?
Hangi gün adaletin terazisi şaşmadı?
Yasaklara, baskılara, katliamlara, bilumum hukuksuzluklara karşı çıkanlara uygulanan hukuk dost muydu, düşman mıydı, evrensel kurallar gereği miydi?
Bir asırdır değişmeden uygulanan düşman hukukunun görülmesi için mutlaka kendilerine mi dokunulması gerekiyordu?
Oysaki hukuk bu.
Dostu, düşmanı, yandaşı, karşıtı için farklı olmaz.
Ve de gün gelir, en çok da keyfi uygulayanlara lazım olur.
Sadece kendilerine dokunulduğunda bağırmanın, çağırmanın karşılığı da olmuyor, anlamı da.
Her zaman hukuktan, adaletten, eşitlikten yana olan zelal yüreklere tek değil, tüm dillerden SELAM OLSUN.
