The Placeo Effect one is SOOOOO true! Have you seen the book by Dr. Joe Dispenza, "You Are the Placebo"?

No but I'll try to check it out when I have the chance. I wanted to write my Master's thesis on the placebo effect...it got shot down...

"...it got shot down..."

No kidding! The Drug Industry can't let more people discover that healing is an innate process that seldom needs their damn drugs! If people REALLY understood the power of the mind to marshall healing resources they would fire their doctors and do it themselves!

Most of us know just enough abt the age old Israel/Hamas/Palestine (Biblical Philistine, as in David and Goliath)/Gaza story to be dangerous.

I know enough to realize that most of us should sit this one out.

I have a special opposition to my tax dollars being used to fund killing...

I insert— sorta. I’m against using tax dollars to kill babies, even the fetuses, unless the rare “rape or life of the mom”

thing is on play.

Buy I’d use my tax dollars, private funding and whatever inheritance I’m apt to receive to kill Nazis without a care in the world, so if HAMAS is out to kill Jews just because, and they have been for decades and decades, I’d do what I could to end them.

Paint Drying? All the Film Classification board had to do was watch it in fast forward mode.

I'm sure they didn't stare at the screen in rapt attention for 10 hours...unless they took some really strong drugs beforehand!

Chess board one nails it.

One of the sharpest memes I've seen.

I have a dark hunch that most of the pieces would come back to life and don their team jerseys and go again in fealty to the King and Queen (heroes), though....'cuz....warehouse of hammers....the game is all they have ever known.

Perhaps. But is there a point where they start running out of pawns?

End of the world?

End times philosophy is something I'm back and forth on. I doubt it in a purely biblical sense but I do wonder if all of this is forcing a collective evolution. Is it end times or beginning times? Is the tail wagging the dog with end world philosophies? I've been perusing the book of Enoch. I believe the Bible to be a collection of very powerful stories in some cases inspired from God but in other cases probably steered altered and manipulated to tell a divide and conquer narrative for those in power. I always look for those things which cut across religions

I don't know about the philosophy but I was trying to play out the thought bubble.

How would they run out of pawns?

They wouldn't unless the world ended. Even the most utilitarian society would begin shifting into dominance hierarchies, me thinks.

Just imagine you were having a large party of friends and family when a group of gang bangers from nearby housing projects came in, killed and tortured some of your friends and took some as hostages. Police had surveillance footage so they knew more or less where these gang members went. The next day the police informed you they were not going to pursue any of the criminals and bring them to justice because they were afraid people in the various housing projects would be caught in the crossfire. Would you be so magnanimous after you saw your friends and family tortured and killed in front of your very eyes? Would you be satisfied that the killers would never be apprehended and welcome to commit similar or worse crimes in the future?
