    I think you’ve hit the nail on the head when you say “the biggest problem is that each sides narrative requires the others to be illegitimate”. Without even discussing land, cooperation or rights this one phrase sums up the impasse....

    Your list also reminds me of Roger Walsh's "therapeutic lifestyle changes" (TLCs) things that have been proven to increase health but are often under"prescribed"; I'd love to see him add comedy and sex specifically, instead of just grouping it under "recreation" :)  for those...

    I wholeheartedly agree we need to become a more mature species; especially the kind of intelligence that can empathize, love, sacrifice, and has wisdom. I dont think cognitive intelligence alone can do the trick (which i think may be extremely relevant to AI)....

    You can see the pattern pretty clearly if you step back and look at it through the lens of Robert Jay Lifton’s framework. His description of ideological totalism fits uncomfortably well in places where certain ideas become insulated from scrutiny....

    This is dope, thank you. this evokes in me time as (perhaps) nothing more than a mental arrangement of relationships between states. The "passage" of time is methodology that entwines "subjectivity" with "objectivity" rather than either a subjective experience or an objective...

    I agree. There is some energy lost in the sharing or announcing it. I have read that it gives us a level of dopamine that keeps us in the just doing enough stage to talk about it instead of doing the actual work....

    I agree that emotions are symptoms and not causes because emotions are seperate from the thing(s) that caused them. Viktor Frankl said that man's only true freedom was the freedom to choose his own reaction in any situation....
