and THAT is 1 reason why the Dymaxion Map is THE Right Map:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_map
( another is simply that you can give kids cardboard Dymaxion-map/globes for them to have, so they can study it for fun, whenever they want, & earn better understanding of the world they’re born-into, without any “big tech” machiavellianism working through the plain tech.
Another is that you can do the landmasses OR the oceans on the thing, as its “center”!

I admire Putin the way I admire ebola or marburg-virus: by admiring only the effectiveness of its underhanded-viciousness…
Trump’s going to be very tempted by that, imo.

Indirect/proxy should make politics more-significant, right?
There’s a game, I think it’s called Democracy, which has one hell of alot of dimensions of stuff which affect outcomes.
if you’ve never seen its … can’t remember if it was the skill-tree or the setup-thing, or just the intro-tutorial, something ( I’m not a gamer, but study human-meaning, including psychology, including story & game ) … you may find many inspirations for interactions to include in the affecting-outcomes math…
Duh! I just realized, that you could actually do both, but each run the players have to choose direct-allowed or indirect-only, in order to give your game both kinds of exploration…
hopefully that’d mean only some more work, but for much more value for your game?

Which suggests that that set of disorders may be similar to autism.
We autists are woodenheaded, aka monotropic.
That stuckness is a problem, more than a solution, for most.
That it’d also happen with moods… I’d never considered that possibility…

I don’t think that Zelenskiy understands that Orban may well declare war on Ukraina if escalation progresses far-enough.
He’s got “the cards”.
He’s got the EU by the balls: they apparently “cannot” eject Hungary, AND the EU can’t declare war on Hungary for Hungary’s launching war on Ukraina for Putin, Orban’s buddy…
This is a dangerous situation, & Ukraina’s definitely at disadvantage, from what I can see.

Rather thorough!
They’re leaving-out a biggie, for schizophrenics, though:
marijuana aggravates psychosis.
& thc’s the normal universal “treatment”, nowadays.
They’re also leaving-out that just offering every soup-kitchen client a 1/day multivitamin would consistently improve the population’s health.
1 time I was living out of an emergency-shelter, & had pneumonia, & was told that if I was caught in possession of vitamin-C, I’d be barred for days, because it’s used in some drug taking.
Absolute-incompetence/prejudice!
All they had to do was put the vitamin-C in water, & watch me drink it!
Abusive institutional intentional-ignorance ( everybody knew I had pneumonia & it was ripping-up my lungs, as I tried breathing, through the “glue” filling them ).
No justification for that kind of won’t-know bullying.
But people who don’t have homeless experience, like people who write such reports, wouldn’t have the same view/perspective, would they?

PS: how is that stuff “psychological”??
PTSD-aggravation from the bullying’s psychological, isn’t it?
I’d rather take a firing-squad than be bullied the way “help” institutions have bullied me, in those years of my life, thanks.

SETI PRESUMES that the way we’re going to detect extraterrestrial civilizations, is their beaming TONS of photons at us, in crisp signal.
WHY TF would they do that??
Why wouldn’t they ditch the energy-wasteful TV-style broadcast, for energy-efficient fiber-optics?
There’s, in my view, only a SINGLE century of civilization-evolution in-which tons of broadcast energy is poured helter-skelter all throughout the sky.
Before that it isn’t done because the tech doesn’t exist, & after that, it isn’t done because it’s idiotic to be doing it.
So, instead of presuming “all civilizations are broadcasting, why aren’t we seeing them??”, we OUGHT be presuming “we’re trying to see a single-century of civilized-evolution, & maybe this is the wrong method for finding other-world’s life”.

To me the sad thing is that humankind’s Great Filter, aka “apocalypse” is actually manufactured by unconscious-mind’s ego-insecurity.
Enforcing “apocalypse” “PROVES” that unconscious-ego’s important, rightttt?
& once you’ve got a whole race of people in species-puberty, aka The Great Filter, the Venn-diagram intersection of toddler-unconscious-mind, with world-changing industry & technology, & no more free space to go when others are crowding one…
then the manufactured-“apocalypse” IS an actual thing, just not caused by any supernatural-force, is all.
It’s caused by humankind’s ignorance-addiction, primarily.
So, it isn’t delusion, it’s fact: but its cause has nothing to do with any scripture.
Hegseth’s enforcing mass-murder in Iran to hasten “the return of Jesus” …
… were The 2nd Coming to appear, wouldn’t that entity HOLOCAUST Hegseth for what he was doing?
( based on the biblical “I’m not here to bring peace, but war” line of benJoseph )
The unconscious-mind manufactured “apocalypse” is inescapable, but the absolute non-intelligence of Hegseth’s murdering-for-Jesus tactic … there’s no justification for that pseudoreasoning.

Get some AI chatbots to help you identify points for your talk!
& “Presenting to Win” by Weissman, along with his “Questions Under Fire” ( or whatever that’s called ) both are recommended, too.

You might want to ask one of your legal people about the liability-exposure you’re collectively in-for, when AI’s “hallucination” gets you cracked/hacked…
To me, the single most-important point is that if YOU or ME sign-off on something, then WE, the INDIVIDUAL have either authored it or vetted it.
That’s untrue, now, & there are consequences of that.
I’d want a leaderboard of people fired for signing-off on AI-slop.
I expect it’d get full, fast, & I expect that at-least 85% of the people hired into knowledge-work would be fired on that rule, simply because the brainwashed population can’t understand why that would ever be a problem,
but if the rule was held-to, through the years, it’d turn into a stupendous competitive-advantage: authenticity & integrity that NO competitor would duplicate.
Just my take…

Stephen Hawking’s Area-theorem directly contradicts Stephen Hawking’s Hawking-Radiation evaporating black-holes.
EITHER they only get bigger, XOR they evaporate through Hawking radiation.
You can’t have it both ways!
( the entropy law, that they can only grow, also is contradicted by Hawking radiation … this bit from lower-down in the article. )
What pisses me off most about the “evolution is only a ‘theory’!” machiavellianism/gaslighting, is that it’s calling all farmers who breed their own crops or animals liars , and the farmers are every bit as rural as the Republican-strongholds warring against education of considered-reasoning, scientific-method, etc.
IF selection, natural or intentionally-induced, didn’t alter the resultant-population,
THEN farmers wouldn’t have any reason to invest in doing it!
2-facedness/gaslighting seems to be a hard-limit, for me…

so this is essentially SWI-Prolog ( available in Ubuntu ) with a NICE interface?

THIS was an appropriate time to be using falsifying-quotes:
the “nuclear” option.
Unfortunately, Netanyahu’s nearly-certainly weighing the actual nuclear option on Iran, then ALL Muslim-countries, the minute ANYone retaliates ( mass-shooting, nuclear style ).
Which means that keeping things clear, differentiating between “nuclear” & nuclear, would be wise.
