That's actually kinda trippy, with a lot of analog delay

no haiku today
from me, OutOfMemory
part two, to make it true

#nohaiku

EDIT: way too styled. I'd keep it simple.

EDIT2: But those shorts are really lame!

OK, let it put me this way then:

If you try to control a part of a complex system (aka. the problem) by making single, simple and widespread changes, you will most likely fail, if not introduce bigger problems than the ones you originally wanted to solve.

This is roughly the essence of complex system theory. In fact, our linear thinking (put action A to make state B become state C) puts us in a bad position to become successful in a complex system.

EDIT: Solution: replace the system with a better one. See bitcoin

YES!!! ANAL FOR ALL!!!     #nohomo

 
Seriously:
Sex is not that simple. There are reasons why most humans prefer intercourse. Reasons almost beyond control. Neurotransmitters, hormones, endorphines...
You can't just "control" that. Life does not become simple just by looking at it in a simple way. Likewise, things don't become political because people choose to believe so.
Everything human is awfully complex. If you don't respect that, you probably never get real problems solved real well. Maybe by accident, but on the rarest of occasions, if we look at our history.

Now for the important part:
Our population never was meant to shrink. In fact, there is no "overgrow" of humans, but the sick politic and economic systems that don't work for an expanding population. These systems were made to work for a few and enslave the rest. Global food production would cover 9 billion people's needs twice. Still, look how many people are starving. A difference between Africa and America, as an example, is that people are comparably well educated, so they must be tricked into believing to be "free" (among other helpful beliefs).
The inhere sickness of servicing the few, instead of servicing the many, is the real problem of the world's politics.
And see, they already tricked you by believing that the population growth is to blame. Also, the systems are made in ways that you can't really change. You can just replace them. And that might be as a long way as it came to be like it is today. Thousands of years. And it depends on educating and training people to handle primitive motivations like greed, fear, hate from the start of life until they have grown up. Then we might eventually be able to make it work for all of us, not just a few.

See, bitcoin is solving systemic problems at the root. That's why it will win the fight, the fight that was started by the few.
This is a key example how to transfer power from the few to the many. As long as the many manage to stop fighting each other, the few will lose.
The few are well aware of that, so they manipulate the many into feeling greed, hate, fear (...) about each other.
the many can't simply take over power by trying to become like the few.

I hope you got my point, i'm feeling really bad at expressing things today  
Edited the post because of that, too.

OK, sorry for that bad expression of swallowing #nohomo
We have to take cuts in some way. Cuts which secondary effects. It seems like these are quite ignored in most "solutions", generally.

And as politics are on the top of our "freedom", of course it's a political problem, also in the first place.


Everybody taking a serious approach is worth to hear, correct.
There will be results, regardless of how the politics approach it. So i ask myself who is actually profiting by the one or other approach.
Virologists, Epidemiologists, Economists, Ecologists... Could they work together constructively, without political interference? I guess so, and it would likely be the "best" way.
And like CT wrote, it's the politics that would ignore them. If we weren't still so primitive in our very nature, we could probably well live together without those corrupt idiots on top that repeatedly ruin everything they put their hands on.

Yes and no.
It would of course be ideal to achieve "herd immunity" but there are downsides of the procedure as well as the problem of mutation.
Like the flu, you can't actually get herd immunity, and it also does a lot of damage to the economy because of people lying sick at home, not able to work.
Herd immunity against the current circulating strains of SARS2, yes. Herd immunity forever? No. This comes at a price of taking out some % of global economic power, and it also has to be a global approach, because how could you explain country A to let people in from country B, who for example are currently herd immunizing, bringing in high infection/spreading rates? Just as a simple example of global covid complexity.

Covid is still seen too much as a national problem. It's in fact a global one, in a globalized economy, many people don't see this.
We'll have to swallow, either way. There seems to be no "best practice" for all of us.
I'm only replying to you because i think you're one of the sane members on board of the WO ship 
I'll back off the discussion as soon as polarization or covid-denial posts show up

Yes, and that makes them (bitcoin derivates) even worse.

Crypto derivate issuers can go f*ck themselves with a length of rusty pipe, imho.

like the titanic?
but this time unsinkable.
blockchain bitcoin forever!

when sunday was here
i was thinking of haikus
like naturally.

so what will i write
on the board of observers?
let life choose the words?

let's come to an end
now read my contribution
in the next three lines:

watch out, observers!
the market seems to be sick.
vaccine: hodl bitcoin.

 

Sometimes it's both.
Did i write about my wife getting educated in hypnosis recently?

I know that is completely off topic(s), but i'd like to share the following experience, and what it did to me.

First, i had self-hypnosis, meditation and NLP practice starting about 20 years ago already, so i am a person that gets into trance more easily than most other people.
Second, i always considered myself as almost impossible to be consciously manipulated by others.
Third, in the realm of the unconscious, i was proved wrong.

So we already had two sessions so far, one to check out my ability to get into hypnosis, the second one to help my selfie to stand more by my values, where i was feeling to adjust to others too often/quickly.

The third one was of type "return to a life before getting reincarnated into the current one". The one most people experience themselves as their former "me", mostly human.
I'll try to make the path to it short: I just had exercise and my mind was pretty active. It took me about 5 minutes to get into trance, and left the guidance and moderation to my unconscious self and the voice of my beloved guide.

I was floating about 1000 to 1500 meters high in windy heights, it felt a little cold to me. I was looking at an island in front and below me, it had perfectly circular shoreline and shaped as a perfect cone with concave sides, becoming progressively thinner near the top, like a circus tent. Snow and ice on the top quarter or so, absolutely flat surface, like printed on it. The waters were silver-greyish and rippled with waves, a little glowing somehow, but the sea didn't move at all. It felt like i had a body, but i couln't look at it. I exactly felt that my arms ended above elbow level, and from an inch or two below the solar plexus my body sensation was like "cut off", with a glowing warmth, radiating from this region into my body, along the edges of my ribs, like the boundaries of the lungs. I didn't breathe. I had no name i was aware of, i was floating in a fixed position and the cool winds were blowing around my body.
I was waiting. Peacefully and patiently, with that glowing feeling embracing and radiating through my body. When i was asked how long i was waiting, i said "for a long time". Asked further, it turned out that i had no idea of how long and what exactly i was waiting for. I was not able to look at other things than the mountain island.
Then it went black, and i sensed the sensation of the light in a room getting brighter, observed with closed eyes. But the light didn't actually get brighter, i was aware that i was "back in reality", after getting "kicked out".
The reason of me getting kicked out was a slight "mistake" made by my guide, i won't get into it more deeply here, because it didn't matter for me.

Now, what's it all related to the quote i put in bold letters?

When i opened my eyes, i could still feel the sensation described above, throughout my inside (#nohomo btw.)
It lasted through the whole day, and it made me feel exactly
which triggered my reply, which i originally intended to keep off WO because off topic, and yeah - who would even believe this, from a random fellow on the interweb?

Now this happened on tuesday, and the thing is... it made myself more peaceful, to put it in a word remotely able to describe what i mean.
Not just noticeably, but almost like forced. On the first few days after it, my selfie ego fought back to gain control, and it did to some extent, but i don't really care, because i now know what "it" feels like, and i just have to remember it, to start bringing it back. It is somewhat different to anything i experienced in meditation before. Currently a lot in my life is changing, in terms of perspective. Only a few experiences on drugs like LSD had this quality of an impact on my perception of myself and/or my environment.

Most people on this kind of hypnosis experience "former" lives of themselves as some person with some trouble or history, influencing ones current life. I heard some stories before, from people i know that went under that kind of hypnosis, and they all had experiences that made them look different at their struggles, making it easier for them to solve. I was a sceptic every time.

I feel like maybe there is something we all forgot about. Something we were maybe experiencing from some stage as unborns, when we were free from conditioned emotions and thoughts. I'm not getting crazy, i already was in past times, so i think i can differentiate between my crazy and "normal" me  

If anybody here has been helped by reading this, or will help him/her in the future, i'd be happy enough that i decided to share it.

Most heroes wear caps, though  
(and hodl bitcoin)

Illogical?
Well, under the fact that i, being atheist, see only one "god" which all religions are referring to. Even multiple deity "models", it's all the same. It's a mythical attempt to explain existence. Existence is everything. Every religion is full of metaphors of it.


Thanks for the clarification with christ.
"Jesus, Christ" should also be valid then.

Yes, but only in german.
https://homepage.univie.ac.at/Erwin.Bader/Schoepfung_zeitlich.html

Based on an alternative translation of JHWH (Jahweh) as "I am" or "i am here (to be)".
Imho, this is also the most logical translation.
It spins around the philosophic question of origin: which was first? existence or the creator? can a creator exist without existence?

"God" is just a very old name for "existence".
But yes.

Fuck, the guy totally looks like young Boris Becker  

EDIT:
This face plus voice actually made my day, it likely can't be getting any better, i guess.
I give in.
Off to well earned sleep

you got me on the leave there.
I can't just go to sleep without knowing that answer:

OR

Volume and RSI on the hourly showing opportunities for "substantial" moves.
Up or down?

+1 merit this post for "up", +2 for "down" and +3 for "sidewayish"  
*just joking kidding!*  

EDIT:
It's sunday in my timezone now, so:

put the fun back in
fear and anger keeps you down
time for standing up

against the system
the system of fear and doubt
time for standing up

lying on my couch
sleep starts creeping up my back
time for standing up

as soon as i stand
i'll be starting the slow walk
off to bed. good night!

in that manner, i wish y'all some nice dreams.  
#hodlsleep

I once read some work by scifi author stanislav lem, where he spun a story about mankind evolving over and over again from (unknown) genesis to self destruction, for numerous iterations. The bottom line was that what we consider to be ancient structures are leftovers of a former mankind that was eradicating itself, and ages later it was all starting again with an ape throwing a stick. I don't remember the title, but it was fascinating. Paper was called "papyr", and it was kind of self destructing, so culture and knowledge vanished with it, forcing to start development all over again.

Otherwise, i always felt some affinity to this idea of "mankind as an alien experiment", whenever i read about or was remembered of it.
