The future

The Israeli case is the most intense as hate is coupled with fear for survival. Until the people will change that emotional energy into a more positive one, the situation will continue to degrade, and the hateful and / or fearful sides will suffer more and more intensely, not understanding why. It doesn't matter any justification, any good / evil, right / wrong, history, help from others; nothing can positively affect the course if emotions aren't significantly changed.

Interesting statement. I think both sides are stuck in a trauma loop and can't get out if. They won't be able too unless something radical happens that changes everyone's mind and the chances of that happening are really low. The trauma loop in the Middle East goes back a few thousand years too.

Hi TABA,

I got about 15 minutes in and my brain went "SPROING!!"--can you just do a quick summary of some of the reasons I would be interested in this? I'm hoping there is something related to big happenings in national politics, geopolitics, and finance. I am willing to spend the time, but I need to know there is something worth looking at here before I spend more than an hour of my life watching it. Thanks!

Cordially,
S&S
 
I am doing a thought experiment, based on what we know right now.

Civilization Ending Stuff
Yellowstone - Had to included this one. I do not think this will play a role. Its going to continue with geothermal eruptions. I don't see any lava for the next 5,000 years or so.

Long Valley Caldera - I brought this up a few pages back. The Bishop Tuff eruptions happened 600 years ago and those were not major. It could happen again. This area won't get really interesting until Mammoth Mt. decides to wake up. Its last eruption happened 7,000 years ago, but Co2 occasionally seeps out the sides. So its considered dormant. I don't think this will play a role either.

WWIII - This is far more likely. Who will start it? Russia is making a play for this role. Leader Putin is ex KGB. He wants to recreate the Soviet Union. So he started by attacking Ukraine. Poland is worried because if Ukraine falls, they feel they will be next. They are probably right. BUT I don't think Russia can sustain this war much past 2025. Their economy is in the toilet and getting worse. Its probably going to crash in 2026 or a few years later.

China - is being a big bully in the east Pacific. China is why Japan is reaming themselves. China is ramming Philippine's ships. Like the recent ramming of a Philippine ship with a 60 Min. crew on board. One gets the sense that they want to dominate the east Pacific. If they don't cool it, they could be starting something.

Please feel free to add to this list!

Is the US really preparing for World War III?​

Creating new weapons and beefing up older stuff. Deterrence aimed primarily at China.

Hi Cryscat,

The U.S. has been preparing for WWIII since WWII ended. Weapon systems have to be updated on a constant basis to keep up with technological advances and what the other guy is doing. I hope for a more peaceful world, and I hoped one was coming after the USSR collapsed, but no such luck. As someone who lived through the Cold War era, I can say that things seem more dangerous now than back then.

Cordially,
S&S

[Edit to add PS] PS--I should add here that I don't worry as much as I used to about a global nuclear armageddon, but do worry more about conventional open warfare between different groups and parties. The latter might easily expand to include limited battlefield nukes and from there . . . who knows. But I sense a deep reluctance by the great powers of the day to let it go that far, as it seems to have finally sunk in that no one wins when everyone is annihilated.

There are a lot of really weird possibilities in the sky for October, including a comet (usually seen as an evil omen), probable bad solar weather, some interesting alignments, a possible nova (that is not Betelgeuse), and a temporary moon. The first Youtube is fairly straight astronomical information. The second is a funkier "new age" take on coming events (for those who like such things):

Civilization Ending Stuff Part 2
WWIII - Israel and Iran making a shot at getting this started. Iran just hit Israel with missiles. Some were shot down, some were not. Netanyahu is ignoring US pressure to stop already. Dunno what it is next but I can see the US starting pull some military support. Right now though, more US troops are heading to the Middle East.

Hi Cryscat,

Actually I think the U.S. is just building up in the area to remind Iran et al not to take things too far. A respectable number of missiles with conventional warheads are expected in situations like this, but not much more will be allowed. Iran lost half of its navy the last time it was in a serious military confrontation with the U.S.—I don’t think it will risk a repeat.

Hi Baro-san,

I'm not sure how that works, especially if we continue discussions and: (a) one of us expects WWIII and gets it; (b) one expects a limited exchange by the local parties and gets it; and one of us expects the whole problem to go away and gets it. Won't we all be discussing our own separate realities? And, if you say that each will experience our discussion in accordance with their individual expectations, how are we better off than the pod dwellers in the Matrix? They at least seemed to experience a shared "reality" (even if it is artificially generated); we would be locked into our own little private simulations with no objective shared reality. This sounds like a solipsist nightmare to me. :oops:o_O:eek:

Cordially,
S&S

PS--I'm going to opt for the red pill on this one.
 
@SeaAndSky

You made some assumptions and drew some conclusions that are foreign to my hypotheses on reality. That's expected, as you operate in the framework of your beliefs, that is different from mine.

I don't think in terms of simulations, nor of solipsism. I differentiate between physical-reality and reality. I am not familiar with the take on reality in the Matrix movies. "Red pill"? You (impersonal use of "you" when italicized ...) can't know which pill is "red", and even if any of the pills you can choose from is "red"; using "red pill" as a metaphor for gurus' and dogmas' claims of knowing "the truth". Would you call atheism, science, or any major Eastern or Western religion a nightmare too?

Anyway: I believe that your emotions will bring into the reality you experience situations that will generate the same kind of emotions, with increased intensity. So, your fear, anger, hate, and also your compassion, displeasure, annoyance, will cause you to feel more, and more intensely in kind, as while in a nightmare.

There are essential differences between your expectations and your desires, wants, affirmations, plans, ...

On the other hand, surely, you have no reason to believe that I am right, and I don't suggest that you believe so. What I suggest is that everyone learn to tap his own inner source of knowledge and guidance, while leaving aside all his beliefs and expectations, to minimize distortions. Even then, everyone can accesses only whatever is at his own level of evolvement.

Every identity, awareness, associates dynamically with higher gestalts with which it resonates, and dissociates from those it doesn't resonate with anymore. Every identity is, in turn, a gestalt of elements that resonate with it., that dynamically associate and dissociate according to their resonance with the identity.

If you pay attention to your dreams, even if you can't get lucid in them, you can still see how any small negative thought, emotion, or feeling degenerates into a more and more negative situation, eventually into a nightmare, if you don't take conscious control. The same happens in the "awake" physical-reality that you experience, only slower, to allow you to handle it, to learn how to do it, to allow for your mistakes while in training here.
 
Hi Baro-san,

I don't think we share a common vocabulary. So, perhaps our disagreement is really more about form and terminology than substance. In any case, I hope to bring up the subject again some time in attempt to reach mutual understanding or at least a shared vocabulary. However, at the moment, I am more concerned about objective reality and what will be happening in the world over the next one to ten years. On that subject, I am quite sure that individual attitudes, preparation and outlook will impact individual outcomes and, to the extent groups are governed by similar attitudes, preparation and outlook, it will impact group outcomes. If this is what you are saying, then I am in agreement.

Probably the essential difference is that I believe that my experience is dependent only on my expectations, beliefs, and emotions, and it doesn't depend on anybody, nor anything else. My expectations, beliefs, and emotions attract into the reality that I experience people and situations that resonate.

Hi Baro-san,

If I am understanding what you are saying, I can't follow you into "only" land. But if you can make that work for you--as the saying goes: "More power to you!" That is quite an accomplishment, one that I would not even attempt to emulate.

What do you think you are here for? What is that what you came here to do? If you (impersonal you) get incorrect answers to such questions, then you might waste your time, and also might be suffering when you don't have to. You have to find out, then do it.

Operation Praying Mantis, yes? I can see that.

 
Delirious !

Iran can easily reduce the Saudi oil production capacity to one half, without any navy.
What do you think your gas bills will rise to as a result?
Will you still vote as you planned?

Hi Cyrus,

Definitely. However, I am not too worried about military operations by the U.S. against Iran. I don’t really foresee anything like that unless Iran directly interferes with our ships or shipping in the region again. How would it cut Saudi oil production in half without—once again risking direct intervention by the U.S. and others? Its surrogates are neutralized or struggling for survival. Taking action itself against the Saudis would risk severe retaliation.

Hi Cyrus

I am sure the military is aware of the problem and will avoid the issue. Actually I am more interested in what you think Iran would do to cut Saudi production in half. I am not expressing doubt that they could, just curious about the means they would use and how they would avoid massive retaliation. As previously noted, some bluster and missiles have come to be expected between the countries involved—Israel and Iran—but the Saudis are not directly involved. I think an act of war against the Saudis would be extremely dIsadvantageous to Iran.

Hi, S&S:

Well, maybe not directly, but via Houthis.
There has been a lot of Chinese mediation among Saudis and Iran, lately.
The Chinese wisdom is unfathomable, China was a prosperous Empire when the Romans still lived in the caves....
And the Saudis have reduced oil production quite voluntarily several times already.
And they sell their oil for yuans now.
Who knows which way the Persian cat will jump?

Very best.
