Irans oberster Führer verkündet vermeintlichen Sieg über Israel und droht den USA apollo-news.net/irans-oberster… Der Konflikt zwischen dem Iran und Israel, der zunehmend als der „Zwölftagekrieg“ bezeichnet wird, ist erst seit wenigen Tagen vorbei, ... The post Irans oberster Führer verkündet vermeintlichen Sieg über Israel und droht den USA appeared first on Apollo News. #news #press
Über Tage war der oberste Führer des Iran, Ali Chamenei, wie verschwunden. In seinem ersten öffentlichen Auftritt seit langem verkündete er nun den vermeintlichen Sieg über Israel und drohte den USA.
In just over a month, over 500 Palestinians have been killed and at least 3,000 injured by Israeli forces while attempting to access vital aid. The silence from the world's most powerful leaders is deafening. Utterly outrageous and unacceptable: savethechildren.org.uk/news/me…
Children have been killed or injured in more than half of the fatal attacks at food distribution sites in Gaza since the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) began operating four weeks ago, said Save the Children.
‼ ️Non seulement l’ #UE intègre l’ #Ukraine, mais en plus elle crée avec #Zelensky un Tribunal pour juger la #Russie Et c’est la Hyène corrompue #uvdl qui l’annonce chaleureusement. —————-
‼️ D’autre part, avec le soutien des souverainistes au Parlement européen, l' #AUR - Alliance pour l'unité des Roumains - a initié une motion de censure contre la Commission européenne présidée par #Ursula von der Leyen pour l'affaire #PfizerGate, l'ingérence dans les #élections et le réarmement de l'UE. Cette Motion de censure a été officiellement déposée aujourd'hui auprès de la présidente du Parlement européen, Roberta Metsola, conformément à l'article 131 du règlement intérieur du Parlement.
Initiée par le professeur universitaire Gheorghe Piperea, eurodéputé roumain de l'Alliance pour l'union des Roumains (AUR), affilié au groupe des Conservateurs et Réformistes européens (ECR), la motion a été signée par plus d'un dixième des membres du Parlement européen, soit 74 eurodéputés, satisfaisant ainsi aux exigences procédurales.
Elle sera inscrite à l'ordre du jour de la prochaine réunion de la Conférence des présidents, prévue le 2 juillet, et soumise au vote lors de la session plénière du Parlement européen à Strasbourg, du 7 au 10 juillet 2025, selon l'AUR. «Cette initiative n'est motivée ni par des ambitions politiques ni par des griefs personnels et ne vise pas les commissaires exerçant leurs fonctions avec intégrité. Elle porte exclusivement sur les graves dysfonctionnements de gouvernance décrits dans le document annexé. J'appelle tous les membres du Parlement européen, quelle que soit leur affiliation, à participer activement au débat en plénière et à soutenir la transparence, la légalité et une gouvernance démocratique exemplaire», a déclaré Gheorghe Piperea, ECR.
🔻Pour que la motion soit adoptée, elle doit recueillir la majorité absolue des membres du Parlement, soit plus de la moitié d'entre eux. En cas d'adoption, elle entraînera la démission collective de l'ensemble de la Commission européenne, conclut le parti AUR.
🔻Anatolij #Sharij, journaliste ukrainien opposé à #Zelensky, se moque des hyperboles utilisées par des membres de l’ #UE pour promouvoir leur grand héros :
«Un héros d'acier, né dans la ville d'acier, un grand leader que le destin nous a donné !» Sharij commente: «Un monument doré à Zelensky sera bientôt érigé à Strasbourg» 😂 Les commentateurs se lâchent : «C'est hilarant. Vous, les clowns, avez tous besoin de soins psychiatriques d'urgence !» «Le déclin moral de l'UE continue. Une civilisation qu'il faudrait abandonner et laisser dépérir... Les contribuables sont-ils du gibier à plumer ou des moutons à tondre ?» 🔻 Il s’insurge : « 26 États membres de l’UE sur 27 soutiennent l’adhésion de l’Ukraine à l’UE. Seule la Hongrie est contre. Avec des verdicts politiques. Avec la persécution de l’opposition. Avec le néonazisme. Sans tribunaux. Sans police. Putain de toi, putain de groupe de crime organisé🖕»

At its core, #CCSignals is an attempt by Creative Commons, a Silicon Valley-based organisation, to legitimise the AI grifts of its donors – Google, Microsoft, and Meta (Zuckerberg).
Creative Commons was always a thinly-veiled attempt at enabling Big Tech data farmers to get more data (that’s why the whole “open data” realm is so well funded/popular – open as in “open for business” not free as in “freedom”) but at least their original licenses (non-commercial, share-alike, no derivatives, and yes, sometimes even just attribution) were genuinely useful for people as well as for corporations.
I like to think (perhaps naïvely, I don’t know) that Lawrence Lessig had his heart in the right place when he came up with it all. But I’m biased. I learned how to present from him (including how to use my presentation display) and we even presented a session together back in the day when I was running Open Source Flash. I’m also a big fan of his concept of “institutional corruption”. But I have no illusions that we see eye to eye on all things and I haven’t spoken to him in over a decade.
Anyway, that’s neither here nor there.
This is Creative Commons jumping the shark (is jumping the shark the original enshittification?) and destroying their credibility with a scheme that doesn’t benefit people, only their corporate donors.
Keep using the existing licenses, as they have value, but don’t help them legitimise this latest land grab by the same trillion-dollar corporations and billionaires who are busy destroying our habitat, human rights, and democracies.
In fact, if they go ahead with this, it might be an idea to fork the original Creative Commons licenses and publish them under a different name in an effort to counter the use of their legitimacy to whitewash Big AI.

I grew up watching Star Wars a few years before the prequels came out.
I loved it! I was a big Star Wars fan. I honestly almost completely lost interest in it after I became an even bigger Trek fan.
I’ve been playing Lego Star Wars and it’s been fun, but it made me realize that the stories all seem surface deep to me.
I get the movies from the 70s were not going to deep dive in Luke’s training, but in each film it’s just like, “And… you’re a Jedi master now.”
There are other races and we do not get to really learn much about them. I guess the Mandalorian filled that out some, but I couldn’t get into that show.
I guess this is more of a rant about how Star Wars feels like and empty shell of a series than something with more substance.
I really wish, that there was something that went deeper.
I have not watched all the Disney+ shows yet, but I might start Ahsoka or Andor tonight. I watched Obi Wan and liked it, I tried Mando 2 times and did not like it one bit.
I think you might be better-served by the various Star Wars books. TBH I haven't read any, but a book just has so much more space for these kinds of things.
The Jervis Bay Territory (/ˈdʒɜːrvɪs, ˈdʒɑːr-/; "JBT") is an internal territory of Australia. It was established in 1915 by the transfer of jurisdiction from the state of New South Wales to the federal Commonwealth of Australia, in order to give the federal government control of a port in the vicinity of the landlocked Australian Capital Territory (ACT).
I am 45 and did not know this until today when for some reason Jervis Bay Territory was printed in a select option along with the other Australian states and territories.
What are they (or were they) actually doing with that port, though? Kinda impractical to have a federal government port so far away from the capital ...
It's pretty close to the capital, really. It's directly due east of the ACT. Maybe somewhere like Bateman's Bay would be a little closer, but not a huge amount, and I assume other practicalities (including existing uses) took priority.
La peque me dijo ayer que quería ir al concierto de Stray Kids en Madrid. Y aparte de que, evidentemente, ya no quedan entradas (es dentro de tres semanas), me quedé un poco loco de ver los precios. Sé que estoy viejo, pero... ¿en que momento se volvió normal pagar más de 200€ por un concierto? He estado mirando las entradas para Blackpink en Barcelona y están por el estilo, y he llegado a ver algunos asientos a más de 600€. Decidme si a vosotros también os parece un disparate, o si es algo normal y lo que debo hacer es ir pidiendo plaza en un asilo 😅
It is a brilliant place, I'd recommend to anyone visiting the North East. You can watch them make stottie to the original method in a coal oven. You then get to eat the stottie.
Resistance Operations Expose Zionist Failure in Gaza: Hamas
Hamas asserted that the continued precise operations by its armed wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, alongside the PIJ’s al-Quds Brigades, prove the Zionist regimes failure to break the will of the Palestinian people or defeat their Resistance.
In a statement published on Wednesday, the group said these operations demonstrate the Resistance’s strength, its control over the battlefield, and its ability to exact a heavy price from the occupation, adding that the Zionist government bears full responsibility for failing to reach an agreement due to the obstacles it keeps putting and dragging out the negotiations to serve Netanyahu’s personal gains.
Hamas also criticized the statements made by the head of the occupation government regarding “absolute victory”, dismissing them as part of an effort to promote illusions and unrealistic claims about achieving the war’s objectives, particularly what it called the delusion of retrieving the captives through military force.
Netanyahu, Zionist government responsible for ceasefire obstruction
Regarding the negotiation process, Hamas reaffirmed its “continued positive engagement with mediators’ efforts” and any serious proposals that could lead to a comprehensive agreement,” while simultaneously emphasizing that “any deal must guarantee a cessation of aggression and war against our people, a permanent ceasefire, and a complete withdrawal of occupation forces from the Gaza Strip.”
Hamas has accused Benjamin Netanyahu’s government of undermining international mediation efforts, even as Gaza remains under siege and relentless bombardment since the war began on October 7, 2023, killing tens of thousands of Palestinians and causing widespread destruction.
Meanwhile, Palestinian Resistance factions continue their military operations from within the enclave, while ceasefire negotiations have so far failed to produce a decisive breakthrough.
The Zionist occupation forces announced on June 25 that seven of their personnel, consisting of one officer and six soldiers, had been killed during a lethal ambush executed by the Palestinian Resistance in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
An initial Israeli military investigation revealed that the incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon when Resistance fighters triggered a pre-planted explosive device along a route frequently used by invading Israeli forces, targeting a Puma-type Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) that was transporting a combat engineering unit.
The explosion set the APC ablaze while the soldiers remained trapped inside, leading to the deaths of all seven personnel in the resulting fire, with the intensity of the incident reportedly complicating the identification process for several hours due to the state of the remains.
The al-Qassam Brigades released footage of a complex ambush targeting two military vehicles in southern Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
The Zionist military had announced the death of seven of its soldiers from the 605th Combat Engineering Battalion in battles on Tuesday in the Khan Younis area of southern Gaza, with the slain troops ranging in age from 19 to 21 years old.
The footage captured the moment an explosive charge was thrown directly into the cabin of one of the troop carriers with soldiers stationed inside it, destroying it and setting it ablaze.
Ambush detailed
The al-Qassam Brigades provided details of Tuesday afternoon’s coordinated ambush, in which its fighters destroyed a Zionist armored personnel carrier using a “Shawaz” explosive device tossed inside the vehicle’s cabin by al-Qassam fighters. According to the statement, the attack completely destroyed and burned the APC with its entire crew inside.
Shortly afterward, the al-Qassam fighters targeted another Zionist armored personnel carrier with a locally-produced improvised explosive device near the Ali ibn Abi Talib Mosque in the Ma’an area, south of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. The statement noted that Zionist helicopter evacuations were observed at the scene and continued for several hours.
Resistance fighters set unmatched examples of valor and prowess: Abu Obeida
Abu Obeida, the military spokesperson for the al-Qassam Brigades, praised the complex ambush and the fighters who carried it out, stating, “Our Resistance fighters set unmatched examples of valor and prowess.”
The spokesperson emphasized that “the latest ambushes vividly demonstrate how our people’s warriors have become this generation’s most courageous and sacrifice-giving freedom fighters,” while warning that enemy funerals and corpses will be a daily recurrence so long as the occupation continues its war on Gaza.
“The enemy’s government is deceiving its own public, refusing to admit it’s throwing its soldiers into Gaza’s quagmire for delusional political goals,” Abu Obeida added.

Why does a narcissist insist on "your special day" as a personal spectacle that you have to direct?
A narcissist's insistence on making "your special day" a personal spectacle often stems from their intense need for control and attention. They want to be at the center, even when the focus should be on you. This behavior reflects their struggle with empathy and their desire to overshadow others' experiences to reinforce their own importance. Understanding this can help you set boundaries and protect your emotional well-being. 💡🎭

interesting #distrochallenge candidate idea, increasingly appealing, too often overlooked, even dismissed... #puppylinux (and/or any of mmmmmany respins thereof).
similar to slitaz, it has wows. there be really enthralling innovations. community seems far less riddled with the toxic, stifling, stultifying, "stupid cants". far less bloat too.
wows like versions focusing on different package managers. (e.g. as i was just reading about, a voidlinux xbps puppy and how easy )
there is mmmuch going for puppy. yes it's a mite unconventional, compared to the glut of debian and redhat based linuxen. so what. conformity to convention is not a factor. could even have a puppy with .debs or .rpm.
the anti-bloat, the innovation, the low-entry-bar friendly vibes... its a very refreshing combination of aspects. very appealing, enticing, enthusing.
heh, and in wondering about cheating the distro-challenge again, with bedrock, i wonder about having a bedrock install [without my regular artix-devuan-gentoo-void base] with a base of slitaz, puppy, slax, (even DamnSmallLinux and tinycore?!) and other small quirky distros... []... maybe it makes even more sense... given these distros can do their own use of other package managers ~ afaik, only 1 at a time though ~ makes sense to put them in a bedrock context, where can get access to all the package managers (without jamming them all into one puppy and it stepping on its own toes tripping itself up) safely in each their own stratum. (... each their own strata. ? ... grammer fail. boik. idk if that's plural or not, there, properly.). so could even do a bedrock install that's entirely populated by puppies, but still availing me the same access to all the same package managers' commands and repositories as i have now (with artix, devuan, gentoo, and voidlinux strata).
XD ... way to have a challenge turn into the same thing already got.
buuuuuut...
there's so much more tinkering freely vibes with puppy.
similar to what i get from slackware (also oft considered for a distro challenge).
the pedagogical boon would be humungous.
... but then, so might also the burnout, breakages, and bailing [out of the challenge, back to something more reliable (less prone to invite me to tinker and break things with my jank)].
puppy remains a strong candidate for a distro-challenge.
heck, if merely rearranging my strata were a distro challenge, i could do that right now, with a couple brl commands. brl disable void, brl enable joborun, et viola, i'm in a distro challenge. lol.
nah. it's gotta be completely new, on metal, fresh install, different os (and not just re-hijacking with bedrock), to be a real distro challenge.
just realised... that couple years i took, on hiatus from bedrock, with devuan, ... i eventually hijacked that devuan with bedrock again anyway... so it's kinda like i never wasnt using bedrock the whole time... i just took my time with that install... faffed around in the installer ( ;D ) for a couple years, before completing the install process.

[...] Mamdani, Lander, and Hanif give people a reason to vote for something. And they give people like me hope that maybe I won’t be locked out of the formal American economy forever. If Zohran Mamdani can be arrested protesting for Gaza, face a barrage of racist Islamaphobic attacks, and still win the mayoral primary in the nation’s biggest city—with the help of his Jewish brother who got arrested defending migrants from ICE—then maybe there is room to fight in this country, still.
In New York City's Democratic primary, Muslim state legislator Zohran Mamdani and Jewish comptroller Brad Lander emerged as top mayoral candidates, demonstrating the potential for criticizing #Israel without political repercussions. Their successful campaign, marked by mutual support and a focus on maturity, challenged prevailing beliefs about career risks for advocating for social causes and navigating anti-Muslim and anti-Zionist sentiment. This outcome, alongside the re-election of Muslim City Council member Shahana Hanif, signals a shift in New York politics and offers hope for those who have faced professional consequences for their activism.

US President Donald Trump is increasingly disappointed with Russian leader Vladimir Putin over his maximalist demands regarding the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine, writes the Financial Times.
In a week, more that 4500 people have pledged over £150k to support Palestine Action's legal acton against the Govt.s moves to proscribe the groups rendering them as 'terrorists'.
If you are concerned this is a fundamental threat to the right to protest and so a threat to our very democracy... then you might want to join me & the 4500 supporting their crowdfunding for their prospective legal costs.
“Global security remains the paramount concern, particularly at this juncture, when the notorious Doomsday Clock continues to tick ever closer to midnight. It is imperative that we prevent such an outcome.
I am deeply relieved. This must be related to the peacework the chancellor (who has sworn an oath on a constitution that incorporates international law) was talking about, when justifying war of aggression in parliament. One war, not the other, as we know. I will consider donating for the noble causes of the Government. [//sarcasm off]
TEHRAN, Jun. 27 (MNA) – Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the U.N.says the Israeli regime will be held fully accountable for its crimes, especially its policies and practices targeting children.

UsrMerge is a process that combines the traditional directories like /bin, /sbin, and /lib into their counterparts in /usr, creating symlinks to streamline the filesystem structure in Linux systems. This change aims to improve consistency and organization within the operating system, but it can complicate upgrades and package management. community.linuxmint.com en.opensuse.org
so that kind of directory structure wasnt possible until... 2012? or 2015(ish) when version 0.5 came out (iirc... or maybe 0.6 or 0.7 brought other directory structure changes i've forgot). ... and still, even with the bedrock complexification of my system's directory structure, the usrmerge thing leaves me "not used to". n_n
Construindo um Plano Digital para a Soberania NacionalVivemos um momento decisivo para o futuro digital do Brasil. A crescente concentração de poder nas mãos das grandes plataformas, a dependência de infraestruturas estrangeiras e a ausência de políticas públicas robustas no campo da tecnologia colocam em risco a soberania nacional, os direitos fundamentais e a democracia.A regulação das plataformas e da inteligência artificial já estão no centro do debate. No entanto, é preciso ir além. Precisamos de um projeto estruturante, nacional e coletivo, que aponte caminhos concretos para a construção de uma infraestrutura digital própria, baseada em código aberto, tecnologias públicas e controle democrático sobre dados, algoritmos e redes, com foco na soberania popular dos territórios e das pessoas.Nesse contexto, convidamos você e sua organização a participar do encontro Soberania Já! , que acontecerá nos dias 08 e 09 de julho , em Brasília.
I feel like a few people on #diaspora need this message. I get a lot of differing opinions, but more rarely does anyone just ask "what do you mean by that?" People even used to call me an AI.
I noticed memes expressing a common attitude that a discussion is to be "won", like who "wins" a discussion and how to. Although I think debates are to exchange views, just to know what kind of views are existing.
Should I explain though? I don't know what @unmittelbar had in mind. But as to what the guy in the video says, it's about different people talking with each other, with their different views. But that's become a bit rare here, I think. People don't listen but broadcast and propagate. Maybe like that?
Too much verbal diarrhea...I tend to no longer want long verbal discourses... at least not with the general public. If I find someone who is open to discuss things more (one on one or small groups) I will engage.
I'm also aware of wasting breath on those who are "not open" or who are "defending a particular stance" etc
Now, it's know when to speak, share or "hold my tongue". I don't always get it right 🕊
Maybe it's the language barrier, maybe it's the fact that people have different opinions but don't recognise each other, but it's a fact that a few of us around here have noticed. The refusal to discuss - or to discuss in the way the other person would like - the refusal to debate... It even goes so far that many of us are blocked if we come to 'pollute' their post with a contrary opinion... When the whole point of this kind of place should be to get us out of the isolation of each other... Surprisingly, the few who agree to debate are mostly on the opposite side to me...
I totally agree with you, @Kosmogrammaton ... I think it's important to let people know that all opinions exist and that, to go further, there are multiple paths, multiple games for approaching existence, as many as there are individuals who want to get to know each other. We don't defend our own, we present it, we expose it, we make it known, thinking that it can be useful to others? Just as this or that thinker may correspond to this or that temperament.
Thousands, I think, tens of thousands? Forgot. I mean, any group or institution that somehow wants to manipulate people doesn’t stand on the street corner with leaflets anymore or bribe filmmakers or what. They go online, of course.
Yeah...I have compassion for people who don't want to stop and listen to someone. The situation got full of dregs because the best parts are constantly imbibed by the fuzz or the AI machine.
Surprisingly, the few who agree to debate are mostly on the opposite side to me…
this comes as no surprise. The advancements proposed in the video come from listening, and so often a debate is about proving each other wrong. The fewest people can realize that our words come from emotional expressions which intellectual arguments, no matter how right, will never ever solve.
Indeed. We have the ability to discourse, but instead a few people reduce our stated opinions to likes when they resonate, and just stating another opinion when not. I've seen much worse in D* in the past years...it's good these days. But the point is we should listen to each other. @L'intrus you ask such good questions, I'm still synthesizing my ideas into comment-appropriate responses to this and this.
Würde und völlige Wertlosigkeit haben etwas Unerwartetes gemeinsam: Beide entziehen sich einer klaren Berechnung. Sie lassen sich nicht fassen oder exakt einordnen.
That doesn't mean that good approaches to thought don't exist, but rather that they won't do a lot for an intellectual person, even one with right ideas, if they don't know themselves first. And this means emotional awareness.
@L'intrus my transcendental approach is to advocate for the existence of transcendentals. however not to approach them directly all the time. dignity is an example of something that must be approached, reached in estimation of each other, before we are truly capable of founding a worthy society. however transcendental truths require settling the stirred pot of emotions and convictions until the resonance of what remains, our truest essence, can sound out of us and find the path of best fit. so these are not accessible by force or in many cases even by word.
therefore i tend to see the "many paths" perspective as a derived truth which misses the point that we all walk the way, but the way walks back -- there are paths more accommodating of, for lack of a better word, natural law. and as in the case of dignity, there are human paths better than others, which are to be followed for the sake of our larger intentions, like community or society.
I don't understand much of what you're saying, except that it sounds vaguely religious and that you think there are many wrong ways and only one right way for everyone... How sad... Fortunately that's not the case and, despite the dictators of thought, we can't deny diversity both between species and within each species. I don't know what dignity is - and don't see any point in knowing, any more than honor or pride... I don't believe in a solution that's good for the whole community, for the whole society? That's called dictatorship. All you have to do is open your eyes and ears to realize that everyone is different, that everyone wants to find their own way, which may have nothing to do with their neighbor's way. Some dream of family, some of money, some of security, some of independence, of freedom, of love, of revolution, of religion, of crime, of forgetting, and so on.
@L'intrus Much more recently I started contemplating how the biosphere operates, beyond limited current scientific thinking, this does not mean to say what scientists are discovering is not valuable, just limited... until they discover the next new bit of information which opens the box of "limitations" again.
What I currently realize is, that every life-form - trees, animals, fish, fungi, bacteria (I'm not sure where viruses slot in), from the "bigger picture" are all vitally important to the harmonious unfolding of the future of this Earth, except humans seem to be the ones who are "out of tune" (so to speak).
@iam-elegance thinking about the nature of the non-dual baseline reality can give people a lot of ideas--i try to propagate the principle which leads us to convictions, but not necessarily convictions themselves...unless they are based in this categorical imperative: that the manner in which I come to them is itself reproducible by my species (as they are human with intellects and as they are living beings in a nature-dependent world). So the will to change is relative to my static neurology (and my spirit's acquisitions in past lives--for those who believe), either way I need to choose to let change become a force in my life, therefore the will to change.
I don't know if nature abhors a vacuum--it seems to fill them rather...even the void is really just quantum potential fluctuations. vacuums are relative.
Looking back my "same person" comment seems naive 😀 but in this light, the self as a vacuum held apart in a manifestation space, with energetic decisions as rafters... 🍐 🍋🟩
@unmittelbar maybe we are different species within human bodies and because we find ourselves embodied within "human casings" - that causes us to "limit ourselves to the human dilemma as a human body"?
Have you ever looked into the "scientific concept" of ABIOGENESIS??? How did life on Earth begin??? Utterly fascinating!!!
The other more contemporary "imaginarium" is the movie "Lucy" (quite a few years old and yet, because we are ultimately dreamers, whether we realize this or not, it is all relevant... 🖖
@L'intrus the video suggests older people to listen to younger people, because they have knowledge. You inspire me to extend it based on my knowledge.
I listen to religious people, because they express symbolic wisdom which is soothing for the religiously evolved brains of humans: for the sake of emotions and in case there is a deeper significance to symbols.
I also listen to atheists, because they often focus on real-world problems, which informs me about worldly concerns. In short, atheists often know better where the problems are, but also usually blame religions or stupidity for the problems. I think religious symbols help people with emotional issues, and so I benefit from listening to both sides...what you misinterpret as dictatorial will is really the attempt to remind people that underneath our activity is a powerful source-consciousness which helps us find the paths of best fit, and that these paths are for more than just individuals since they come from the same source. Meditation offers a way to access this by resolving to remain still, dissolving our minds for a time and letting everything go. Religious people do something similar so often, they are rightly criticised as abiding the terrorism of the present society in manufactured bliss. However consumers and atheists do it too, they just melt themselves further and further into their own minds, rather than into the symbolic layer which exists over the source consciousness. This is how I understand it...I am trying to point out a categorical approach to common enlightenment which does not hate individual paths, but rather reminds them to tune themselves regularly to a higher will, and also abide in the knowledge that oneself is not to be taken so seriously as to get offended or angry.

And where does this statement come from? What is this source? I don't understand much of your mysticism. You seem to pigeonhole people into a very small number of simplistic categories: religious, atheist, consumer... When there are lots of other ways. I don't believe in a higher will. Sorry, but I'm totally impervious to your religiosity. My example is Diogenes, my practice is Cynicism (kunicism), the opposite of all that.
good to know! there are some philosophies which will always be true for themselves, and I underestimate their ability to self-convince.
to me the categories are for your benefit as they are said for the purposes of discursive reason, which relies on arguments. to me these are patterns on the quilt which covers all humanity. we can only dignify what we know, so i open up to discursive reason the comparing and contrasting of different life-choices by humans, but it is very hard to release people from the bondage of categories -- for this reason I spend some necessary thought-energy in every sociological sphere bringing the knowledge back to the base of our common humanity.
Is there even such a thing, except by consciously agreed upon "beliefs" (cynicism, religious, atheist, religious, philosophical, mystical, sociological etc) or "tolerance" - ideologically we don't agree and maybe it is better for you or me to sidestep each other, except we can still INTEND that we each have-experience the most beneficial lives we each can experience.
i think the only proof of common humanity comes when we pause abiding by reason and experience silence, stillness, and other forms which transcend discursive intellect. It’s not something which I would seek to argue by example, but rather indicate as accessible by other means than reason. If we share the notion, we can begin to gather evidence – but it is indeed a basis one reaches by prerequisite.
Even if we can see how symbols recur in different human cultures, the pure knowledge of our commonality does not need to be believed by humans to make them human: it is accessed by transcending or sublimating what distinguishes us as humans: our intellect. So paradoxically the basis of our common humanity is divinity, and by definition this is common. I resolve the paradox by stating: it is our privilege to have knowledge, for by virtue of releasing ourselves from its burden we return to a “naturalness” which is oneness with existence: this common basis I call divine, yet the unique human aspect I call transcendent knowledge. So what binds us together is the ability to return from source to and with knowledge and develop it in the collective experience transcendence–which retains and reminds us of our connection to source and allows us to develop it individually.

Only for this self... I can no longer do this, "common humanity stuff"... Because we have to dissolve all those boundaries - human and other... That's why our world "feels" so "human-centric" (ego-centric), .and is in the mess that it is in... Of course this too is passing, changing, morphing and I don't expect intellectuals to comprehend non-intellectual methods of migrating through difficulties...(personally or globally).
I'm sorry... I don't want to lose this "Self" in words that only move it further and further away from the Heart of Wisdom within this self. So this will be my last comment on this post 🙏💚

On the one hand:
Heaven is eternal, earth is everlasting. The reason they can be eternal and everlasting is that they do not foster themselves; that is why they can live forever. For this reason sages put themselves last, and they were first; they excluded themselves, and they survived. Was it not by their very selflessness that they managed to fulfill themselves?
So I mean accessing transcendent knowledge is not our privilege, but rather our responsibility is to use appropriate words when discussing them. Nevertheless, there can also be self-full reasons given to avoid the possibility of appropriate terms. That would be the belief in the #endofphilosophy.
I can no longer do this “common humanity stuff”… Because we have to dissolve all those boundaries
So on the other hand:
Good construction does not fall down, a good embrace does not let go; their heirs honor them unceasingly. Cultivate it in yourself, and that virtue is real; cultivate it in the home, and that virtue is abundant; cultivate it in the locality, and that virtue lasts; cultivate it in the nation, and that virtue is rich; cultivate it in the world, and that virtue is universal. So observe yourself by yourself, observe the home by the home, observe the locality by the locality, observe the nation by the nation, observe the world by the world. How do I know the world is as it is? By this.
The selfwards look is always in the same direction, even if its contents are different. Selflessness is meaningful if it is able to transcend itself, but only to the degree it can to simultaneously contain itself. Dissolving the borders in a belief of no-self is an example of transcending and containing, but it also requires belief--I try and contain the same experience and report on it with words, but do not require belief. Hence I can agree with parts of your speech while still keeping firm to what I say: we return to the same when we experience selfnessness. The reason it seems otherwise is the simultaneous existence of co-incident boundaries which should not be dissolved: self, home, place, people, world. The ability of any language-speaking nation-like group of people to become the people of world depends (1) on them conforming to the prior three qualities and (2) on their accessibility as a culture for other peoples to become one with.
(1) is the coincident simultaneous culture along the necessary spheres of life: otherwise we would have nothing but our values and beliefs to transcend to: a marketplace of ideas depends on a currency of attention, full of paupers begging for nihilism, and no chance of fostering the foundation for ideas to grow.
(2) nothing accessible. Today we are at the mercy of ill-defined intellectual values like selflessness as "selflness-less" or "common humanity" as "come-on humanity!" I try to rigorously define everything I say, but if you use your own definitions for things then you will return to your own opinions, as I hear from
I’m sorry… I don’t want to lose this “Self” in words that only move it further and further away from the Heart of Wisdom within this self.
or if your values are more resilient as I hear in
cynicism
or if my reasons are unsound and I cannot listen to you, then certainly we will disagree. But I continue to listen, and my heart also says to protect its wisdom.
For no heart of wisdom can be toppled by reasons and there is no risk, but it can refuse to beat to others drums.

also I would use the word sublimate rather than transcend...another reason to avoid social media debates is the lack of real-time correction...good day!
