    kustībā
    Nekā daudz jauna nav. Bet ir sajūta, ka eju uz priekšu. Ne ātri, bet eju.

    epifānjas piezīme
    Jēzus atbalsta viendzimuma laulības. Viņš pats ir faktiski precējies ar dievu, un, cik zināms, abi viņi ir veči.

    Sapnī redzēju Brekti un Dzintaru. Diemžēl ne kopā.

    Alkoholu nevajag lietot. Tā jums nav nekāda spēļmantiņa!

    Alkoholu ir jābauda.

    čuguns un piķis
    Pirms apmēram gada nopirku čuguna pannu. Bija apnikuši visi šitie lētie teflona varianti, kur kaut kas lobās nost no virsmas jau pēc mēneša, nemaz nerunājot par to, ka tādas pannās sanāk vairāk sautēšana, nevis cepšana.

    Esmu dziļi vīlies.

    Nu labi, atzīstos, paņēmu nevis kaut ko no paša dārgākā gala, tobiš "īsta" čuguna pannu, bet gan drusku lētāku variantu, kaut kādu vieglo čugunu. Lai nu ko tas nozīmētu. Vienalga diezgan dārgi.

    Tā panna šausmīgi ātri uzkarst, vienkārši nav nekādu viduspārēju or something. Te bija pavisam auksta, nu jau eļļa dūmo tā, ka pažarnieku mašīnas brauc šurp. Un piecepas, līp klāt pie tās pannas! Pat kartupeļi parastie... Es to pannu saudzēju, cītīgi mazgāju tikai ar rokām, nekādās trauķenēs neesmu bāzis un tā.

    Tagad domāju pirkt riktīgu čuguna pannu, bet bail, ka atkal neiegrābjos kaut kādā ne tādā variantā.

    ahujs
    Es nezinu, kurā brīdī ciba sasniedza šito kūts līmeni, ka te sūdzas par klavierspēli 8 no rīta daudzdzīvokļu mājā. Tiešām cilvēkiem galīgi nav ko darīt? Un paši vairs nesaprot savu pseidoproblēmu absurdumu un bērnišķīgumu (negatīvā nozīmē)? Ja nu kāds vēl to krietni pieaugušā vecumā nav pieredzējis, tad es nezinu, kas un kā tādam indivīdam izskaidros, ka 8 no rīta daudzi cilvēki jau atrodas savā darba vietā, pārējie ir ceļā uz darbu. Nu un ja no atlikušajiem dīkdieņiem viens spēlē klavieres, otrs vēl čuč, tad tur neko nevar padarīt. Life is life.

    Mastodons
    Visiem iesaku reģistrēties Mastodonā. Ja neko diži negribat ķēpāties ar sev īpaši piemērotas instances meklēšanu, tad vienkārši dodieties uz toot.lv un dariet to, kas jādara.

    (ne)karjerisms
    Reti sastopu jēdzīgus padomus karjerai un darbam, bet te John Evans bliež ļoti labi.




    1: Act your way into a new way of thinking and being. You cannot wholly discover yourself by introspection because you need experimentation and feedback.



    2: Stop trying to find your true self. You are, after all, seeking to pivot so focus your attention on which of your many possible selves you want to test and learn more about.



    3: Allow yourself a transition period in which it is okay to oscillate between holding on and letting go. Better to live in the contradictions and explore options than to come to a premature or stultifying resolution.



    4: Resist the temptation to start by making a big decision that will change everything in one fell swoop. Use a strategy of small wins, in which incremental gains lead you to more profound changes in the basic assumptions that define your work and life. Accept the crooked path.



    5: Identify projects that can help you get a feel for a new line of work or style of working. Try to do these as extracurricular activities or parallel paths to begin with so that you can experiment seriously without making a commitment. After this, deliberately opt to use a new style of working to stretch yourself and seek out some feedback from those who excel in this new (to you) way of getting things done. Keep a journal to force you to notice and record changes as you go.



    6: Don't just focus on the work. Find people who are what you want to be and who can provide support for the transition or pivot you want. But don't expect to find them in your same old social circles. Push into new ones.



    7: Don't wait for a cataclysmic moment when all truth is revealed. Use everyday occurrences to find meaning in the changes you are going through. Practice telling and retelling your story. Over time, it will clarify. Your journaling will become your friend in this.



    8: Step back. But not for too long.



    9: Change happens in bursts and starts. There are times when you are open to big change and times when you are not. Seize opportunities.

    par nacistiem
    The Spanish anarchist Buenaventura Durutti said: "The only church that illuminates is a burning church." He was right, though not in the anti-clerical sense his remark was intended to have. Religion only arrives at its truth through its self-cancellation.

    In "The Intellectual Beast Is Dangerous," Bertolt Brecht asserts: "A beast is something strong, terrible, devastating; the word emits a barbarous sound." Surprisingly, he writes: "The key question, in fact, is this: how can we become beasts, beasts in such a sense that the fascists will fear for their domination?"

    It is thus clear that, for Brecht, this question designates a positive task, not the usual lament on how Germans, such a highly cultured people, could have turned into the Nazi beasts. "We have to understand that goodness must also be able to injure - to injure savagery." It is only against this background that we can formulate the gap that separates oriental wisdom from Christian emancipatory logic.

    krionika - sektantu fantāzijas?
    Vēl viens pierādījums tam, ka transhumānisms ir reliģija - tās fanātisko adeptu piesauktā krionika tiek uzskatīta par pseidozinātni. Paldies jūzerim snauts par šo info


    (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryonics) "Cryonics (from Greek: κρύος kryos meaning 'cold') is the low-temperature freezing (usually at −196 °C or −320.8 °F or 77.1 K) and storage of human remains, with the speculative hope that resurrection may be possible in the future.[1][2] Cryonics is regarded with skepticism within the mainstream scientific community. It is generally viewed as a pseudoscience,[3] and its practice has been characterized as quackery.[4][5]"


    Tagad man ir skaidrs, kāpēc šie fanātiskie transhumānisma adepti nesteidzas krionēties. Viņi paši labi saprot, ka krionēties faktiski nozīmē veikt pašnāvību. Un to viņi nevēlas. Kāpēc? Jo mīž no nāves. Nevar neko daudz pārmest, visi mēs kaut kādā mērā mīžam no kaulainās, tomēr labāk ir pieņemt nāves eksistenci un dīlot ar to, nevis dzīvot fantāziju pasaulē un ārstēt citus, kas vēlas dzīvot reālajā 'pasaulē, nevis pievienoties ilūziju vergiem.

    vēl drusku par transhumānisma baznīcu
    Transhumanists used to repudiate any suggestion that their movement is a form of, or substitute for, religion. But in recent years, that denial has worn increasingly thin. For example, Yuval Harari, a historian and transhumanist from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, told The Telegraph, “I think it is likely in the next 200 years or so Homo sapiens will upgrade themselves into some idea of a divine being, either through biological manipulation or genetic engineering by the creation of cyborgs, part organic, part non-organic.”

    According to Harari, the human inventions of religion and money enabled us to subdue the earth. But with traditional religion waning in the West – and who can deny it? – he believes we need new “fictions” to bind us together. That’s where transhumanism comes in:

    Religion is the most important invention of humans. As long as humans believed they relied more and more on these gods, they were controllable. With religion, it’s easy to understand. You can’t convince a chimpanzee to give you a banana with the promise it will get 20 more bananas in chimpanzee Heaven. It won’t do it. But humans will.

    But what we see in the last few centuries is humans becoming more powerful, and they no longer need the crutches of the gods. Now we are saying, “We do not need God, just technology.”
    Ha! The old stereotype of the bearded Christian fanatic in robe and sandals carrying a sign stating, “The end is nigh!” has been replaced by transhumanism proselytizers like author Ray Kurzweil (of Google fame) whose bestselling transhumanist manifesto is titled, The Singularity is Near.
