Tenderness is grief meeting the truth of love.
The core critical argument across all of these is essentially this: the AUMF structure allows Congress to functionally authorize war while maintaining plausible deniability that they "declared" it, and the executive to wage it with almost no constraints on scope, geography, or duration.
And this was just published yesterday, which surfaces the debate again. www.npr.org/2025/06/23/n...
A great counter-example, yet there's serious debate among reasonable people on whether or not the Iraq Resolution counts as a Congressional declaration of war, or if, rather, it as Congress giving over carte blanche war powers to the Executive branch.

The last time the US Congress authorized a war was WWII, yet we’ve been at nearly continuous war ever since.
Yeah, I fucking hate it too, but let’s not pretend Trump is an aberration, or that Congress lost their ability to declare war LONG AGO.
It weakens your position to not acknowledge reality.
You’ve learned the wrong lessons from this friend.
It always amazes me how quickly mainstream American media gets behind illegal invasions of Middle Eastern countries.
I mean, to be fair to these media outlets they’re down to support pretty much any illegal invasion, but they really seem to excel when propagandizing for wars in the Middle East.
So, was this recorded pre or post the big Epstein reveal? If it was recorded after, did you know about Joscha's involvement? If you did know, why wasn't Epstein mentioned one time in over an hour?
Relinquish all views, including the view to relinquish all views. And see what happens (or doesn't happen).
“Dissociation” often gets a bad rap. I think instead of distancing ourselves from dissociation, it’d be wise to find its proper place in the whole.

The person claiming that no one really knows anything, is claiming to know that, so, you know, maybe don’t take this not knowing business too seriously.
Yes, if we drop all our pre-conceptions, then we're left with "just this", including the full range of what this can manifest as (i.e. the six realms).
My Grandfather Latif had to leave Palestine during the Nakba in 1948. My new friend, Daniel Klein, grew up in the West Bank, as an Israeli settler. What brings us together is our love of the truth, and our mutual willingness to pay it's price.

Beginner's mind isn't empty of content. It's empty of fixation.

The teacher is the occasion, not the source.
The British Royal Family is more available for karmic consequence than the American Oligarchy.
Let that sink in.

You see, if you disown your inner autocrat, you are dehumanizing yourself & others. The disowning is the dehumanizing.
"No, I’m not an Autocrat, I’m better than that."
Ah, there it is, there’s that disowned autocrat. You have to be right, don’t you, about not being like HIM?
"No, I’m not like him. He’s… He’s… Irreprehensible, Evil, Inhuman."
