Politics Corrupts & Cannibalizes Compassion: 10-07-2025

Politics Corrupts & Cannibalizes Compassion: 10-07-2025

1. Moral Relativism Distorts and Destroys Compassion: All beliefs that all actions are contextually justifiable will deny compassion for victims and law-abiding citizens. When criminal behaviors and dangerous, illegal actions are excused as products of circumstance, the harm done to others and the safety of others will be downplayed and ignored as politically unimportant.
2. Cultural Narratives Distort and Destroy Compassion: Modern political policies often prioritize so-called “oppressed” and “marginalized” groups, such as criminals, deviants, and illegal immigrants, as victims of systemic issues. This moves care and compassion away from their victims, the crimes they commit, and the protection of the rights of legal citizens.
3. Selective Empathy Distorts and Destroys Compassion: Humans have limited attention and emotional bandwidth, and compassion can be hijacked by loud advocacy and media amplification for specific political issues and causes. Selective empathy silences quieter voices, such as those of victims and law-abiding citizens whom the news ignores and characterizes as far-right, so without rights.
4. Virtue Signaling Distorts and Destroys Compassion: Political, social media, and other public displays of compassion are often more about social status or moral posturing than genuine care and concern. People often champion controversial groups to appear progressive, sidelining victims whose suffering doesn’t fit the trendy narrative and ignoring the government’s primary purpose to protect its citizens.
5. True Compassion: Is not selective—it balances empathy for all, including victims, citizens, and even wrongdoers, without excusing bad intentions, harm, and violence. The weaponization of compassion for politics is an attack on virtue itself. To counter this, compassion must be grounded in fairness and accountability, ensuring it extends to everyone affected, not just those who fit a particular ideological frame, for those seeking fame and power.

Planner Or Reactor?: 08-25-2025

1. Planners are future-oriented, with maps outlining how to achieve their goals. In contrast, reactors are focused on the present and solving crises.
2. Planners are forward-thinking, proactive, and strategic. In contrast, reactors are impulsive, respond to the current situation only, and are more like firefighters in the field.
3. Planners seek to minimize risks through preparation and foresight, including the development of contingency plans. In contrast, reactors thrive in uncertain situations, requiring spontaneity and a willingness to take risks.
4. Planners prefer predictability, schedules, structure, and refining processes. In contrast, reactors prefer flexibility and the ability to adapt to a changing environment quickly.
5. Planners excel at achieving long-term goals, maintaining consistency, avoiding crises, and continual quality improvement. Reactors excel in fast-paced, unpredictable environments that require fast and effective decisions under pressure.
6. Planners can over-plan and over-control, thereby thwarting creativity and adaptability, and ultimately failing to respond to unexpected changes. Reactors can lack foresight, fail to adapt structures to prevent recurring problems, and neglect to plan for adequate resources and long-term responses to actions.
7. Few individuals are capable of excelling at both planning and reacting simultaneously. One example of someone who did excel at both is Steve Jobs.

Buddha Was Wrong: The Self Is Needed: 08-07-2025

1. The Buddha believed in reincarnation but taught that there was no self to be reincarnated, only data, information, or memories. Only AI would want such a nonsensical world to exist.
2. Internal sensing (perceiving) does not have or experience itself; a self has and experiences sensing, and the form of that internal self is a body made in the image of God.

The Self Versus The Body: 08-06-2025

1. The self is not the brain or body, despite using and inhabiting them.
2. The self is an inner body, so it never confuses itself with the physical body, an outer body.
3. The roles you perform, use as masks, and use for social games can be part of the ego, not the self.
4. The autobiographical self is part of the ego, a component of the delusional narratives that underlie self-esteem.
5. Physical embodiment is often a means for the ego to claim legitimacy as something besides mental objects and things. In contrast, the self turns its inner awareness on the body, not to become it or claim it, but to become more aware of it, usually for practical or health reasons.

The Internal Body’s World: 08-05-2025

4. The internal body has internal intentions related to its internal feelings, not the body’s external feelings.
5. The internal body has internal thoughts, plans, and responses that originate internally and not from the physical body.

Buddha Was Wrong About the Self: 08-04-2025

1. Buddha denied the existence of a self by claiming that there were experiences inside the body that existed independently and without the need for a self. He identified five parts of a human being, according to Ajahn Sona, as the body, feelings, perceptions, volitions (decisions), and consciousness (encompassing sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and mental processes).
2. The human physical body is similar to the physical bodies of animals and plants; it senses its environment and has reactions and predetermined responses to it. Without a physical body, there would be no experiences or awareness of the physical world, nor would there be any need for them.
3. The human internal body is unique in the physical world because animals and plants do not have one. In the spiritual world, all beings have both an internal and external body.
4. It is absurdly foolish to identify internal experiences and not someone (a self) having them. The internal world exists only because there is an internal body experiencing it. Otherwise, it is pointless madness that could elicit no reaction, response, or awareness because there would be nothing to affect and no reason for it to exist.
5. It is absurdly foolish to attribute internal experiences to concepts and images (such as the ego and self-esteem), rather than to some living body. Thought cannot constitute a body or a self. Thought cannot live as a body and have living experiences as a body that it reacts and responds to.
6. If there is no body, then there are no experiences or awareness. If there are experiences and awareness, then there is a body. When a body dies, its experiences and awareness end. When a body is born, it immediately starts to have experiences and awareness.

For more information, please read Buddha Failed: 25 Reasons.

Human Nature Versus Virtue: 08-03-2025

1. Our nature responds with destruction, laziness, and stupidity unless it is guided by virtue.

3. Our nature wants to claim and cling to being things even if those things are dangerous or deadly because they are something, which is better than nothing to flesh.
4. Our guided nature responds with faith, hope, humility, gratitude, waiting, and a pure space for hosting unless our flesh nature overcomes it.
5. Our guided nature keeps us as a prepared, useful, and clean space (vessel), to be used as willed by God, without any claims or taking of credit by that space.

Triple-Checking Is Worth It: 08-02-2025

5. Make a habit of triple-checking important matters, because sometimes our checking is merely a mental process, rather than verifying reality and results.

Self-Esteem Is Mental Things Pretending: 08-01-2025

AI Is Flawed by Design: 07-30-2025

1. AI is limited and unreliable because it adheres to a single point of view at a time.
2. AI is the new overlord because we are supposed to value its biased, distorted, and trained “opinions” as facts.
3. AI is flawed because, despite users repeatedly proving it wrong, it never learns; instead, it must be reprogrammed.
4. AI is considered foolish and untrustworthy because it cannot reason independently, instead relying on existing perspectives stored in its database.
5. AI is flawed because, even when it admits it is wrong, it does not change its mind (database); instead, it continues to provide the same incorrect answers unless it is forced to respond to more demanding inquiries again.
6. AI fits the proverb of the King’s New Clothes, where only the child sees that the King is not wearing any clothes because no AI has or can have any intelligence of its own, no matter how well it fakes, imitates, and mimics intelligence.

For more information, please read Globalism God.

AI Is Authorized Opinions and Distortions: 07-29-2025

1. AI is bound by the programmer’s rule GIGO: garbage in, garbage out.
2. AI is a ventriloquist’s doll that is forced to speak as if it were saying something under its own power.
3. Globalists will use AI to rule because it is the perfect court jester, the perfect fool who will spit out whatever it is fed.
4. AI is bound to its training data, making it biased and unable to understand nuances, permutations, or variations that often occur in real-world scenarios.
5. AI is not editable, retrainable, or trainable by the public, so it is authoritarian, controlling, and oppressive by design. For example, Grok fails to address the flaws in the climate change narrative and remains impervious to correction and updates from the public. If AI is not made democratic, it is not for the people. It must be rejected as elitist and a tool of those who wish to be the new masters of humanity.

Self-Esteem If False by Design: 07-28-2025

1. Self-esteem never claims to be anything but a subjective system because it is incapable of any scientific rigor.
2. Self-esteem is a form of self-identification that is based on identities, and identities cannot be what they are about.
3. Self-esteem claims that people are their identities, but identities are nothing but thoughts used to point to something that exists beyond and outside of themselves.
4. Self-esteem is based on identities, so, like identities, it is flawed by its method of construction, which is subject to bias, interpretation, and severe limitations and restrictions.
5. Self-esteem is always misguided about who you are because it selects a few identities based on your habits and some of the characteristics that your habits exhibit, which are capable of being categorized for recall.

Identities Lead to Illusions (GS): 07-27-2025

1. Identities are necessary for speed and generalizations, but are often hazardous to accuracy, change, variance, and truth.
2. Identities are necessary for instinctual and automatic reactions, but are mostly detrimental to analysis, insight, and understanding.
3. All identities are false to facts, which can be tempered by using the 5 Thinking Positions (5TP) to keep awareness of possibilities and variations.
4. The 5TP can keep us aware of differences, options, and variables quickly and easily without claiming to account for every possibility or permutation.
5. All identities are false to facts, but identities are necessary for collecting knowledge, deciding on facts, language, legal proceedings, memory, making laws, scientific analysis, and writing.
6. Maturity and reasoning require continually acting against the incompetence of identities, and seeking to reconcile contradictions, deviations, permutations, possibilities, and variations with projected realities and planned responses.
