Sanity Check

Discussion might be considered a form of brain competition. If you favor ignoring me and avoiding discussion. Aren't you proving me right, when I say atheists do not like to compete?

"Capitalism didn't exist in the 1st century." Trading a goat for 5 chickens is capitalism, bro.

When has modern socialism distributed collected capital and goods equally?

You are referring to christian ideology relating to money lenders and the banking industry. Islam contains similar ideology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_banking_and_finance Long story short, usury applies to topics like the repeal of glass steagall, commercial and investment banking. Fractional reserve banking. Which applies to things like the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis and derivative banking. (All of which are topics atheists discourage me from discussing) While christianity does contain restrictions on banking, it isn't opposed to capitalism or free markets.

The scientific approach would be to propose a better explanation than the one I offered for observed historical trends like christians being mma fans/capitalists while atheists trend towards mma haters/socialism. But sure, if you like that better, why not.

Its the observed precedent in terms of history. Christians favor competition. They have faith God will give them the strength to compete. This is why christians are fans not only of MMA but also things like capitalism which reinforce market competition. Atheists by contrast favor non competition. They don't like the idea of competing against others in sports, business or elsewhere. This is their motive for being the biggest supporters of trends like socialism which take from those best at competing to give rewards to those who are least competitive.

Atheists are fond of saying they believe in nothing without proof. If they don't have empirical proof that they can be successful in MMA they don't try. Christians being more prone towards believing in things they can't prove, makes them more likely to pursue a career in sports. And also that belief and faith in themselves under circumstances that are non deterministic can be an advantage which atheists lack.

It could help to know that the bible encourages faith and truth seeking. They are fundamental principles behind Noah building an Ark to escape a prophesized flood. The bible is similar to MMA in that eventually all of the talk is put to rest and people are left to contend with facts and reality. Which could explain why most fans and athletes involved in MMA are christians. While atheists trend towards hating and despising MMA.

Biblical prophecies which might involve china are a topic I have seen spammed across the internet since maybe 2018. There are many youtube clips and articles written about it, I have seen. The interesting thing is, its not so easy to find these prophecies with a search engine. There are prophecies about the eurphrates river but the ones I'm referring to are different. I was curious to know if anyone knew of them. As they could shed light on a long list of things that would be mind blowing. But at the same time, I don't think its right for me to come out and say what they are in an explicit sense. As it might be somewhat rude. The bible may also contain prophecy and prediction about the future of yin / yang cultivation - inner alchemy and similar practice. Depending on how its interpreted.

I think some knots and qi blockage can be overridden. By using qi to stimulate certain areas or meridian points. What makes it difficult to cope with is if it returns after being removed.

The NFL is worse than MMA for concussions and brain injuries NFL loses insurance giant that covered brain injuries, report says https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-insurance-coverage-brain-injury-concussions-cte/1s0x6dz4vo6cozts1xgwit45y When do people stop watching the NFL for it being too brutal I wonder.

LOL That's what I was thinking. What if your opponent points their fingers at your face to make you think about eye pokes. Can you punch or kick their finger to try and break it.

Interestingly. Back when Steven Seagal tried to coach fighters in the UFC. I think he tried to get one of them to use small joint manipulation finger submission holds. Not sure if its legal, or how difficult it is to secure a submission that way percentage wise. But it was some of the more esoteric coaching advice I remember being publicized.

Traditional martial arts were all about human brutality afaik. Traditional martial artists worked for emperors and kings. Competed in duels. Trained soldiers. Engaged in espionage. Conducted battles. MMA is not rediscovering what is old. They're creating something completely new & better in a lot of ways.

... Closest reference I could find. It was either Mas Oyama who was rumored to have killed wild boars with his bare hands. Or it was another old school karate master. I don't remember.

How is klaatu barada nikto also in "The Day The Earth Stood Still" from the 1950s?

What was up with old school karate masters. Who would walk into the woods and kill a wild boar with their bare hands. Was that a legitimate thing?

I 100% absolutely hope people know something I don't. It would save me the trouble of trying to warn them about every choice they made over the past 20+ years. Which contributed to our current state of high inflation, general discontent and economic decline. If I was smarter perhaps I would have invested my time and energy in other things.

Warhammer 40k references. The Emperor he speaks of: https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Emperor_of_Mankind Psyker: https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Psyker That's all there is to say.

Sorry, I don't really get touched by things people do IRL or otherwise. Its more like I try to do the opposite of the examples I'm exposed to. I don't see a lot of positive. Only negative for the most part. The closest I come to being touched is feeling sorry for people. If people made different choices, they could easily enhance their lives 10x times over. For whatever reason, most choose to make choices they inevitably feel guilty and bad about. Then pat themselves on the back as if they made the hot stock market call of the century. Its like watching people pee on an electric fence, shocking and injuring themselves terribly. Then waking up the next day to do it all over again. And the next day and the next. Everyday of their lives until the end. Simply due to them not being able to imagine doing things any differently. Being too stubborn and rigid to break routine.

There is a science youtuber who tracked everything in their diet. Collected their poop. Then lit it in fire. Recording temperature and burn time. To estimate how many calories of energy his digestive system removed from the food he had eaten. This gave him a rough estimate of how efficiently his digestive system absorbed energy from different food sources. Which gave him a baseline for which food types his gut bacteria were best suited to generate energy from. It would be interesting to know whether vegan or carnivore diets generated more qi using similar methods. A shitty situation to be certain.

Ursula K. Leguin wrote a book entitled The Left Hand of Darkness. Which contained a short story about a civilization that learned to communicate telepathically. While using telepathy they were incapable of lying. They used this as a foundation to build a utopian society. What happened? They were invaded by an alien race that could lie through telepathy & were completely caught by surprise.

There's not much to be disappointed in. Stubbornness has always been a more valuable survival trait than intelligence. The outcome is predictable. I only wish I had predicted it sooner.

I don't know that person. But I know of them. They are very very skilled at inner alchemy & sorcery. They could come on here and talk down to everyone. Because they are that good. But hopefully they will find something more constructive to do with their time.

"I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” -Matthew 16:19 Does anyone get "as above, so below" vibes from this biblical verse.
