So TRUE!!

“Is the MAGA Movement Powered by Teeny Weenie Energy?”

by Don Knight in The Midnight Manuscripts on Substack

“The MAGA movement isn’t alpha.

It’s not powerful.

It’s not masculine.

It’s a bunch of hateful bullies powered by small-dick energy”

Ich wurde in London 2014 schon durch Camden zum Metal Rooster und Fischpediküre manövriert, kann mir keiner was erzählen.

Die , die den Einsatz von solchen gesundheits und religionsschädigenden Mitteln wie Mindcontrol und Telepathie für mein Leben durchgewunken haben, in ihrer Machtgeilheit und jenes der Terroristen, verkappte im , die sie bekämpfen, daher die seltsame Überlagerung meiner Tics mit Rassismus als Überwachung begann.

Re: Beginner's Mind, Alef, Dünkel & Erfahrungswissen

Bei alledem habt ihr gemacht, wie das Auswahlteam inkl. Pola an UniWH bei der Ablehnung meiner Bewerbung (Klassismus: Namedropping, Dünkel: Theorie + , re: Adoleszenzverzögerung = , nie nachgefragt) in Kombi mit , die scheinbar aus Kombi von ( & ) und Druck aus () entsteht.

Perhaps it was because Milan is very easy to reach by train from Innsbruck. In any case, it was probably the largest delegation from the Department of Organization and Learning at @uniinnsbruck that has ever attended EGOS (European Group for Organizational Studies) Colloquium.

This made it all the more challenging to gather everyone together for a group photo and get an overview of all the papers and studies - the result in form of a blog post:

The problem with this subject is that it makes so many unchallenged assumptions, beginning with whether or not it is even worthwhile to conduct manned exploration of #space, given the laws of #Physics. Sadly, a lot of people without a solid foundational education in Physics assume that technology will simply continue to get "better", because our past experiences of #technology have created a steady progression.

But, we are approaching the point with our understanding of the
#universe that we know to a very fine degree how little there is left to know about the universe that we can meaningfully affect, due to the simply nature of the amount of energy it requires to do anything at an #interplanetary, let alone #interstellar scale.

There is no "magic" energy source and there isn't ever going to be a "hyperdrive" or "warp drive" that enables travel at a significant fraction of the speed of light, let alone
#FTL faster than light travel. And even if it were possible to create distortions in #spacetime, we already understand that the energy levels which would be required for that to happen are not attainable by human tools, probably not even if you have deluded yourself into thinking humans will ever be able to build a #sustainable #fusion reactor powerplant, let alone one small enough to outfit a #spacecraft.

Many of the psychological problems that this type of
#research is attempting to solve arise out of the simple fact that the only people who are ever going to be considered for manned space missions are themselves #elites with huge #egos and towering senses of #entitlement engendered by their supposed merit. Such people are inevitably going to create conflict between each other. These are people who are inherently competitive and combative, and putting them into a pressure cooker is guaranteed to cause an explosion, at some point.

Yes, literally a pressure cooker, because that's really what a spacecraft is, in the first place—a pressurized, heated containment vessel.

There are millions, billions of people here on Earth who every single day are facing the very same psychological, technical, and resources challenges that manned exploration of space entails; however, we as a society are spending billions of dollars on novel technologies in an attempt to alleviate these challenges for a minuscule, elite cohort, instead of investing in the proven, non-technological solutions we know would alleviate these conditions for billions of people on Earth.

Comparing 17th Century terrestrial
#exploration to 21st Century exploration of interplanetary space is comparing apples to oranges. For one thing, we have radios, now, which would make #communications possible even between #Mars and Earth in less than 1 hour, something Henry Hudson couldn't have enjoyed beyond a few miles' radius, at best, in his time. And yet, even though we figured out how to communicate with a spacecraft outside the Solar System some 45 years ago, we still struggle to provide reliable communications to the people of Earth, still today—not because we don't know how, but because we as a society don't believe everyone deserves it.

It's not a technological problem, it's a political problem, caused by psychological problems in the hearts and minds of those who wield social, cultural, political, and economic power right here on Earth.

« Qu’est-ce qui nous consolera ? »
demande l'infirmière dans _Notre baiser si longtemps retardé_ qui joue en ce moment au #theatre de la Colline à #paris

Touché par l'évocation sensible de ce qui est beau voire héroïque dans le soin, la présence aux autres, puis agacé par l'interview ce midi sur RCF où
"Les terrasses des cafés deviennent le symbole de notre mode de vie", #spectacle #egos (on n'était pourtant sur #franceculture ...)

Si j'étais par là je pense que j'irais, la pièce a l'air belle et l'équipe qui la joue est sûrement extra !
