#Norway's #COVID #Vaccine Chief, Are Stuwitz #Berg, 53, has died suddenly after not only taking continuous doses of #mRNA shots and boosters, but single handedly deploying the jabs across his nation. Berg served as the department director at Norway's Institute of Public Health (FHI) during the pandemic. Berg acknowledged that the shots "cause rare but more serious side effects, especially in younger people" and became skeptical of their effectiveness. Mr. Berg was struggling with a mysterious illness, which his immune system wasn't able to overcome for the last couple of months. He is survived by his wife and three children.

The social media's celebrity and top expert on home demolitions in the Gaza Strip, Avraham #Zarbiv, lives in an illegal house in the settlement of Beit El. A demolition order has been pending against the house for 25 years - but in the Israel of 2025, destruction in Gaza brings prestige, and you can even get a mortgage on an illegal home built on stolen land in the West Bank. As long as you are Jewish.
Avraham Zarbiv is the kind of public figure whose very fame reflects something profound about the miserable state of the society he comes from. A resident of the isolated and violent settlement of Beit El, where many homes were built even in violation of the Israeli military law which applies in the West Bank, Zarbiv has become a media personality, thanks to his expertise in one very specific field: demolishing buildings and infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.
In normal times (in as much as that term applies to where we live) Zarbiv serves as a rabbinical judge on the Tel Aviv Rabbinical Court. Like any other judge, he is prohibited from speaking publicly about controversial matters, meaning political matters (as stipulated in article 18 of the "Rules of Ethics for Rabbinical Judges"). But Zarbiv is not one to shy away from the spotlight. He appears frequently in interviews and videos, dressed in uniform, demolishing buildings, roaming through the rubble, spouting nationalist and racist rhetoric and making statements that suggest involvement in actions that could allegedly be considered war crimes. None of this, of course, is considered "controversial" in today's Israel.
It now turns out that Avraham Zarbiv, the highly motivated D-9 operater, lives in a house that was built illegally and has had a demolition order pending against it since 2000. The house is located on the northwestern edge of the settlement of Beit El, in an area where most homes were built against the law on privately owned Palestinian lands, lands that settlers, with the help of the state, looted from its rightful owners.
Over the years, Zarbiv and his wife received several mortgages from Mizrahi Tefahot Bank, using as collateral the very house that was built outside the settlement's jurisdiction, without permits and under a longstanding demolition order. How does one get a mortgage for an illegal house? That question should be directed to Mizrahi Tefahot Bank. Since they are unlikely to respond, we will say this: it is reasonable to assume that a fake document was produced to falsely indicate the house has a legal status. But perhaps we are mistaken and the honorable Rabínical Judge Zarbiv will explain how he secured those mortgages, once he is done "flattening Gaza”

...And there was a big difference in behaviour when the AIs thought they were being tested. When the Claude AI thought the situation was real, it blackmailed 55% of the time. Compared to 6% when it thought it was being evaluated, possibly when it was uncertain. Because of this, the researchers believe that AIs may act even worse if they were in less artificial scenarios, more confident they aren't being tested.
if necessitating specificity, i advocate for config-democracy, a dynamic form of democracy, as direct or referential/represented as you like, as elaborate an input as you like, updated when you like, and ~ variously depending how those inputs shape up, ~ put through various interpreters and implementers, and through whatever safeguards sought via it too.
then beyond that, i'd more just be saying what my "vote" preferences to input to that would be, and especially other contexts to further robustify the system, human potential, humanitarian goodness, etc., like tricorders for everybody and broad spectrum aptitude testing availed (largely, as part of facilitating the (necessary for functional democracies) fully informed public), full availing of the emancipatory technologies, education and polymathy aspiration prioritised over training specialist roles, fully freely availed facilities, all kinds of decentralisations empowering each and all, and even on to specific grand projects, not just re-greening the sahara (etc), but creating entire new vast biomes (and not just on earth)... the kind of stuff we get to do once out of the rigged game of the rentier parasites keeping us all down.
but, need not be anything so radically different. other forms of direct-democracy, e-democracy, hybrid direct/representative democracy exist, that still better fulfil the defining characteristic of democracy, that it is the ideas and will of the people, organising. not 'archy; not a mere few deciding (... and all the corruption that attracts and breeds and turns malignant by).
switzerland's probably the nearest example to democracy at scale, though still by no means ideal.
with config-democracy, there's far less burden [than e.g. the swiss system], far less noise, far less provokation, far fewer middlemen meddling... you just get to put in your ideals, your preferences, ... even with many a facility developed over time to help... so then, it, "just works". of course, the interpreters "need to be built" (oh rly, still? with llm/ai/ml tech these days?), but even without that yet, it's better to have a system that genuinely reaches out to at least hear the will of the people for a start towards democracy.
lmfao. even before i clicked on the notification, i was about 99% sure, you were gonna do that. XD
gonna tell me off for, what, i even said i cannot do, but sure, have a go at me for it again anyway. lmfao. XD XD hilarious approach.
and it gets even funnier when you UTTERLY misrepresent what was said.
it HAS to be intentional trolling and narcissistic abuse. 😛
My attempt to succinctly state your point
my what? ;]
You’d like to see us be able to cast votes on meaningful points,
no. not what i said.
but only with the truly educated, intelligent voters;
no. not what i said.
similar to the ways of the Ancient Greeks.
no. not what i said, nor like that anyway.
...
it seems utterly implausible to get that^ from:
i advocate for config-democracy, a dynamic form of democracy, as direct or referential/represented as you like, as elaborate an input as you like, updated when you like,
or maybe we're just over a Wittgensteinian horizon in our neurotypes and communication styles. ... I think you're just trolling though. maybe even just a troll bot. so implausible and formulaic are your responses.
aptitude testing's only to add weight to relevant credence, if even so sought, and to be used to fully inform the public as to who's suitable for what. like not putting people with ill suited aptitudes on tasks or in roles where harms would be more likely, better optimising the best suited for doing what, and most especially, cluing individuals in to their own aptitude profiles, so they can better direct themselves, and be more aware where they need try harder... it basically cuts through a lot of dunning-kruger style self delusion and erroneous illusions of ones own abilities. it's about empowering people with clarity of nuance, out of the squanderous abusive utterly wrong over-simplification of the single pecking order. it's about getting deeper into the nuance, enriching everybody, empowering everybody, better informing everybody, ... it's not in any way about creating a bifurcated special class of haves vs the systematically deprived of a voice, as you seemed misrepresent the idea as.
I'd say I hope this clarifies that much, but doubtless your reaction's going to be "rasrdsnnksjsgn!! words!" again, gaslighting, misrepresenting, thickpeople doorstopping, over-simplifying, inverting, and complaining that your demands of how to be spoken to are not being met, and come with more demands and projected frustration. Because this is becoming a very familiar pattern. If it were not for this kind of prickly inaccessible behaviour, i'd be gleeful in the exploration of ideas, and asking you how you came to your misinterpretation... but we both, and anyone else reading, knows that wont likely proceed as an exploration of ideas. ... it'd be social dominance mode fighting, epistemic-mode disabled, in the limbic reactive fight, in the attachment to world view identified with is challenged with new ideas. when there's sign that's abated, i'll be here, eager and gleeful for the exploration of ideas. ... happy to be shown wrong there, and the pattern breaks. 😀
genuine intrigue, would be all up in the guts of this, and wanting more. not less. we've barely scratched the surface of just a tiny portion. but, maybe we should be mad at those who so stubbornly refuse to explain how the nuclear reactor works as if to a 5 year old with only 5 seconds to get it. ;P ... idk, satirical points like that, can land really well with a receptive educated mind [1], and to a narcissist seeking preservation of their self image, with no will to genuine introspection, they'd likely react quite poorly to that. all kinds of fun rope for rotters to hang themselves upon all around. ample grace awaits too...
and i'll finish this fun little exploration, with pointing out, this too, seems an obsequious adhominous blowing-smoke-up-ass buttering-up bs that narcissists do to keep their victims around:
However, your posts also seem to be correct | truthful | good down under there; so I wanted to explore it.
which is all the funnier in the context of the misrepresentation. like, genuinely, depending on delivery, could be a great stand-up comedy bit. the setup, then the shock subversion of expectations. and, it's like the set-up itself, is a bit of a punchline to the prior bit too. ... all part and parcel of why i kicked off this reply with "lmfao". wasnt just the Minbari sense of humour, it was just the pure good comedy structure of it. [ ComedyWithoutErrors fan here. ;) ] I mean, it's genuinely deep level genius comedy. Intended or not. to assert "seem to be correct|truthful|good" and then propose that it means something that's a regressive inversion from the good intended. XD I know, I know... explaining it does not make it funnier. I just felt I had to, in case it was completely missed, and my laughing was taken as hostility. It's not.
[1: the mark of an educated mind, merely being able to entertain an idea without necessarily accepting nor rejecting it. ... worth noting, misrepresenting an idea, to the inverse... is not just not an educated mind... we're in bad faith territory. ]
PS a point sought, but a subtextual point apparently missed... "would" ? no. many coulds. argue over should. leave the disempowering npc spectator sport position of "would". drop the poison placatium. embrace the [for want of better words] participatory engagement. can. shall. endeavor. strive. aspire. not mere spectating what comes as if on rails, oblivious to ones own influence...
as of Andrew M. Lobaczewski's "Political Ponerology" book
speaks to this area quite well too.
config-democracy could afford us another toolset, a different political paradigm, that inhibits the narcissists and psychopath favouring/attracting/empowering power structures. with aptitude testing, awareness of a fuller breadth of each our many aptitudes, out of the singular pecking order, out of classism, perhaps eliminating "roles" entirely, or at least as static specialisations imposed by economic coercion.
a greek special philosopher few for all things, is the special class, the narcissist and psychopath attracting power clique, static roles, inevitable slippage to pathocracy and kakistarchy. Config democracy does not intrinsically create exclusive classes, and to my mind, strongly discourages that from ever usurping it.
The weighting of the interpreters is not hitting cut-offs that exclude, not creating inclusions of special few.
Config-democracy is non-exclusionary, everybody's voice respected, and respected better for its worth into greater intricacy of nuances...
If you've a high aptitude (or several) as the interpreter (itself config-democracy managed) deems suitable for some area of concern, your input's weighted (that too config-democracy managed), and the interpreters' various interpretations of each "vote" (the fullness of all relevant parts of the entire democracy.config file(s)), and the interpolation of all "votes", are availed for review.
And so, (I hope) this shows, config-democracy is self-managing in its recursivities throughout.
... So nowhere in it need you try find a special class of smarties to make the decisions for others. It's genuinely democratic, as in, organised by the people, all people, not just a special few.
But then, there's also nothing intrinsic to it, but the wealth of wisdom of people, to not end up shipping away to narcissistic psychopathic usurpers upon their effective terror ploys, ~ other than that wisdom, having put in constitutional safeguards etc etc etc etc.... the wealth of ideas ~ many eyes make all bugs shallow, and when all voices are contributed to the whole, in as full thoroughness and intricacy of preferences as each individual wants to assert as their contribution, then the ideas that are preventative against such pathocratic usurpation seem much more likely to come to the fore [not least because aptitude tests avail means to catch narcissists and psychopaths], than if the system were a hierarchy in the hands of those narcissists and psychopaths.
And thus it seems to me, any who attack config-democracy, must surely hold the notion (even subconsciously) that they're one of the benefactors of the hierarchical system of power imbalance that rewards narcissists and psychopaths; benefactors of pathocracy; of kakistarchy, and fear the lose of this domination role, with config-democracy seeing through them, reducing their voice to the same weighting by their full spectrum of aptitudes, same as everybody else. :3
There are no dissidents in democracy. If you try be a dissident in democracy, you're just being a better democrat. ... But there can be usurpers. We'd see them better with config democracy and aptitude testing awareness. Can see why they'd want to stop config-democracy from starting.
People with personality disorders are drawn to power and are ruthless in their pursuit of it. How we can ensure that the majority don't suffer at their hands?
lol, and only after posting that, do i see, the troll's posts are not here any more. ... did they do that? or did that happen when i put them on ignore. hah. I should have quoted them in full so people could see what was going on and make up their own minds... i say while really thinking, so people could see what damning doofus orwellian slanderous misrepresentations were happening there... like had to be an exercise in abusing cunningham's law, at best. :3
^ well, regardless how their comments disapeared, ... as depicted in that just prior comment... caught one. ;D
jungian ping too... seeing they profess hard to the contrary... gets wondering, nay, gets obvious, what's festering in their blind spot, the harder they try preen good n free. n_n
stuff like this gets healed better in config democracy too. it goes deep, wide and long.
oh wait... no, i didnt put them on ignore. i merely considered it. they genuinely just deleted their own posts. XD ... didnt just turn off notifications. hid what they'd said. okay cas, more damning than what you said. XD XD XD
... gets me thinking about my portance idea too. the combination of the three... config-democracy, broad spectrum aptitude tests, and portance... would make the world a better place.

You could scarsely imagine a more intimate gesture as you kissed him: his hand grabbing at your arsecheeks, his index finger riding up between them and pressing against your arsehole.
This touch alone made your pelvic floor contract, like you were gripping his cock, about to cum. It made it imperative that he fucked you at the earliest opportunity, and you grabbed at his bulge, purring as you explored every inch of what he was going to thrust inside of you.
To say his advances were uninvited was not quite true. Aware of his presence, you arched your back, let your summer skirt ride up, presented your pert arse to him.
He wasted no time, approaching, cupping a cheeky in each hand, massaging you as his fingers strayed deliciously close to your cunt.
That hubby was in the next room made this beautifully elicit. You wiggled your arse, keen for him to rub your clit, moaning as you imagined him fucking you, right there and then
Tempo 30 fast überall: Keine Verkehrstoten in Helsinki

Remember the faces of the people in this video, because these are easily among the worst human beings alive today.
Waiting outside #Gaza’s borders while a Holocaust is consuming.
Reacting joyfully to each bomb and to each explosion.
Waiting for everyone to be dead so they can also steal the last piece of land that Palestinians have.
When the Zionist propaganda tells you about “defeating Hamas and their religious terrorism”, remind them who’s the real religious terrorist out there.
Who has folks like Ben-Gvir serving in the current cabinet, an individual blacklisted by most of the civilized world, someone who invited people to throw darts at pictures of children murdered in the West Bank evictions, who rules over a party founded by Kahane, a man arrested at least 60 times in his lifetime, listed as a terrorist by the US, the USSR and Israel itself, and author of the bestseller “They must go”, which has often been compared to Mein Kampf.
And who’s the one who justifies murder in the name of the most repugnant and murderous god:
“When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you. And when the Lord your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy”. (Deuteronomy 7:1,2)
