Perhaps I wasn’t clear by saying “craved power over others.”


It feels good to do it. But most people don’t understand when people do, maybe because they choose not to understand.
Eta: no apology necessary. I appreciate honest engagement, even if you wouldn’t have understood.


You’re welcome. Magick is about personal power over ones self, written the way it was because despite the ruling politicians and religions terrorism and horrific torture and murder of just about anyone who would buck the system, they crave power over people and saw mystical writings as less threatening because of the suggestion of power over others. Don’t get me wrong. It can absolutely be misused by people who have a correct understanding. That’s how we get Musks and Zucks and Bernayses and psyops. But I’m the end, in practice, it’s just prestidigitation, casting illusions. Real power is transformation of self in order to actually individuate. And you can do it while still being bound inside the system, too. Michelangelo and other greats operated under patrons from a young age, and I’m willing to guess maybe they suffered to create their arts.


Maybe he knew and bet it would go through.


It’s like ancient rulers and would-be mages involved in magick and alchemy trying to transmute base metals into gold, for power over people. It was all just trying to explain integration of the shadow and individuation, transmuting base instinct into achievement of potential in a society designed to keep us mentally, emotionally, physically enslaved. Dude took it literally.


That’s pretty neat. If they can stimulate sleep, a lot of people wouldn’t depend on anticholinergics, possibly raising dementia risks. Plus I’m pretty sure no monkeys died in trials.


That’s what capitalists and their bootlickers do. They only give credit in blame shifting.


It is exactly the point I made. God DAMN the dumbing down of schools, globally.


The complaint quotes a Microsoft representative describing the GDID as “a persistent, device-level identifier designed to uniquely identify an installation of a Windows operating system on a device, either a physical device (e.g., a mobile phone or laptop) or virtual machine, across certain Microsoft services and scenarios”
A Global Device ID (GDID) is a permanent, unique digital fingerprint that Microsoft automatically assigns to your computer when you install Windows or sign into a Microsoft account.


For decades, fossil fuel companies have hidden behind a simple defence: we only produce the product. The driver filling a tank, the household heating with gas — they are the ones burning it, not us. The Paris court has now dismantled that argument. It found that TotalEnergies’ investment strategies, industrial choices, and energy portfolio directly shape the emissions that follow. The consumer alibi, the industry’s most lucrative fiction, is over.


This is what people get for taking everything at face value, and not understanding alliteration, metaphor, simile, and other literary devices.

“We know AIPAC knows their brand is toxic,” Newman said. “So much so, they are taking their brand out of campaigns and funneling their money through other PACs and donors such as 314 science, DMFI, several small PACs, and of course individual AIPAC members who give as a donor because the candidates can say they received money from donors, not AIPAC, to avoid association with AIPAC.”
AIPAC isn’t necessarily backing off under fire — it’s returning to the way it operated before it started spending directly on elections in the 2022 cycle. Prior to launching its super PAC and regular affiliated PAC, AIPAC was active in politics for more than half a century, working quietly in the halls of Congress and around Washington, D.C., to establish one of the most successful lobbying apparatuses in the country. First launched as a machine to counter negative press coverage of Israel, AIPAC quickly expanded its focus to influencing U.S. policy toward Israel. It positioned itself as a key source of information on Middle East issues for members of Congress and built out regional offices across the country, energizing a network of local pro-Israel activists. AIPAC has routinely lobbied presidents and congressional offices, funded trips to Israel for members of Congress and hosted members to address its annual policy conference, extending its reach into the halls of power without touching electoral politics.
“Clearly, AIPAC knows exactly how toxic they are to Democratic Party voters who see them as a right-wing extremist lobby, championing a right-wing agenda, and funded by right-wing megadonors trying to buy our elections,” said Justice Democrats spokesperson Usamah Andrabi. “Voters are not interested in politicians who say one thing to their constituents and another to billionaire Republican donors, but AIPAC excels at finding candidates eager to reject authenticity and embrace moral cowardice if it means a seat in Congress.”


Thank you.


How dare I have things to do.
