Heart transplant recipient forced to partake in “dangerously insane cult ritual” before being allowed surgery. Welcome to sunny Australia! Welcome to the f*cking nightmare.

People who are afraid die a thousand deaths...

As I get older, I realize everything is simply a perspective. That everything is a part of this "Dichotomy Universe." we all exist in. Like this: Everything is a miracle. Nothing is a miracle. Both can be true from a certain perspective. So now I just create my daily perspectives and change them as I see fit. It's my universe and so I do what I want in this world I create. IOW, I am at total peace with myself and just enjoy being "Alive".

I lurch about in ignorance, learning long ago that the more I thought I knew, the more I realized I did not know. It's slightly depressing but does tend to keep one humble and trying.

I wish I knew what my take was. I have no clue.

All I know is that the longer I live, the more I know that I don't know shit.

And the more I realize what I don't know is huge...and what I do know is increasingly vanishing.

Does it frighten me? No, only people frighten me.

Oh and snakes. I see a snake, my day is ruined.

imo, We need a better tech than sickiology & sickiatry, and the Drugging of our country. This Tone Scale could be a start

On my end, I consider Scientology a pyramid scheme, but I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I've just seen too many people ripped off by it completely.

On the other hand, a new paradigm is definitely needed:

Our quest for creating certainty in our lives comes down to survival historically....why band together with others?, why plant crops?, why build houses?, why wear clothes and shoes? A hedging of bets, a desire to control outcomes. Survival is a certainty game indeed.

Survival is for animals. For humans, a life lived well is the objective, even if it ends prematurely...

Moreover, it looks like many people want to become rich and powerful in order to feel "safe." That's fear...

I LIKE this answer.

Money is the unsafest certainty ever invented.

Those who fall for it are lost (imnotsoho).

re 'Survival is for animals. For humans, a life lived well is the objective'; Humans may not make it after these jabs, I think survival of the species is in doubt.

It is a good question: Why should humans "survive"?

The want to:

I keep seeing a meme (in my head only) that is one of those 'HUGE SALE-WE LOST OUR LEASE-EVERYTHING MUST GO' ....ie, I agree, our species could have a 'dangerous' rating, our own 'hazmat' rating. Thanks Ray

Ironic, the quest for certainty to relieve the fear of uncertainty is what one’s heels dig in ever deeper to hang on to beliefs - does this mean one is stuck in the mud of their own making ?

I know nothing :)

And once they cannot adapt, they go insane... In the US, it's been called "midlife crisis" for several decades.

As far as I can tell this lack o flexibility can be a fatal flaw.

Trust in oneself is blind faith in a foreseeable vision that we have created. The vision is what drives the ability to be blind in the mission.

We all come to this world with our own presuppositions...no-one acts as if they were a blank slate. I presuppose an external uncreated being who spoke this world into existence...and interact with my worldly experiences through this lens. Others through the lens of billions of years of evolution, etc etc. Our foundational beliefs determine our biases inevitably...including the belief that we cannot ‘know’ anything. BTW I agree it sure feels like that these days!!!!!

Inherited intelligence and "memory" do seem to exist.

I think that people are afraid of the concept of nothing which is definitely the unknown I have not experienced it in my 75 years and my theory is that it is just an ideology to keep people enslaved and fearful of personal responsibility
