As I repeatedly read people talking about (their) martial skills developed practicing Taiji and as my life gets each year more peaceful and the main benefits I yield from my Taiji are certainly not (physical) fights related -meaning the necessity for physical fighting has been close to 0 for my 5 last years- I dare to raise this question : Did anyone here ever used Taiji chuan in the concrete reality of a brutal street fight ? and if it happened how did he/she made use of it ?

.

Ahah, I don't own a smartphone.

ahah it sounds like a drunk saying to me but after Nungali's post he might be a natural xD This man's existence came to my knowledge the day he died !

Does the story tell if he was drunk at the royal diner ?

just discovered, that new JID tune

It stayed young and diverse 2021 is what happened

Looks hotter than cool but my daughter commented "Still, it's beautiful"

If one of these proposition is checked... * done something meaningful * made a nice discovery * spend time with loved one * behaved according to myself ...that's a good day so basically all of my days are good ! unless some things can make a day turns bad -shit happens- and that's depending on me dealing with it

Ok, no other idea for now. Thanks

Hi, I'd like my name changed from CloudHands to 雲手. Thanks

at least they tried something

Countries by carbon dioxide emissions in thousands of tonnes per annum, via the burning of fossil fuels (blue the highest and green the lowest). Based on levels in 2006

It's OK guys.

An example of bigger picture to cross with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Human_timeline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Nature_timeline

Yup we had that conversation a while ago. That's in the article too : "Methane is 84 times more potent than Carbon Dioxide as a greenhouse gas so the melting permafrost could cause more harm than a few deep craters."

I forgot the illustration, you know, for the bubbles ! https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/12561082/giant-holes-forms-siberia-melting-permafrost/

So many points to talk about already. Amoral is neutral beyond the (fake) concepts of good, bad, useful, ... Ultimately daoism to me (and others) is amoral. Not to look a the immediate picture, not even the big picture, not even the bigger picture but the ultimate one knowing just "things move according to the ultimate principle(s)", I practice that spirit and lost it. Somewhere I think that if I wasn't in this back and forth movement I would lost something, may call it sensible humanity maybe ...? I digress. I mean applied to the subject, any specie that overgrows its condition is shut down by the new environment it creates (or its own mass). That's the rule applying here. It's very ironical that the last warming peak created the condition for the human race to set up agriculture, which allowed civilization to pop up which created the condition for its destruction through another fast and massive warming peak. In a previous post you said the nutrition problem will solve by itself, well maybe if Canada and Russia open their borders (lol) or provide for the needs, I doubt about it. We are 7,5 billions... that's ridiculous, 7% of the humans who have ever lived are now living together. No situation in human history is comparable . Bubbles will be popping, mental ones and methane others. There are now scary explosions in the deep see, powerful enough to be confused with nukes and now : https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/12561082/giant-holes-forms-siberia-melting-permafrost/ Ultimately (I like this word) the atmosphere itself stay with us under some conditions... I'm not putting all this stuff to scare people, if there is a solution to this problem and politics don't do shit, it's up to us people to get them do it. It won't happen by itself, because you know what ? we're still after economical growth and 5G, even 6G are on the table right now because 1 billion smartphones sold a year is not enough and for us to put connected webcam on our front door... and netflix is 20% of the internet traffic. I could be yelling these words right now but there is now volume loud enough for shouting these absurdities. Now lets see the positive of the situation LOL IF some survive... they probably will have to cooperate, in a gentle way

To have a better understanding, do you consider all of it from an amoral view point or you expect no famine ?

That's the strangest thing I ever had red.

I had the infos before, I had the intellectual understanding of the situation but few weeks ago, I felt it with my gut.

(smile) I think that the confinement has had more impact than what you say but I don't want to argue on this point because I absolutely agree with you both on the fact that little people actions only will not stop the global warming. I don't think I said something like that or even Jancovinci. If think that the interesting part is how he shows how much the built civilization is coal and oil related how far we empowered ourselves at apparently low cost and we can't leave the cycle we're in without building an entirely different world. I don't think it will happen by our own will but forced by elements. My burden (and also yours) is to know that when this foolish fossil energy cycle will be broken, when we will stop that garbage of fake-cooperation/real-economical-war it will be because we will be facing the consequences and that it can't go on anymore. I'm not just talking about the end of our lifestyles but there will be famines on a scale that never happened. Famines start wars, genocides. Just picture Africa or Pakistan and India two nuclear countries... If there is a way that will be a complete transformation before devastation, but it will not happen because we (the specie) are way too blind and fossil energy addicted. That's what he says and that's what I wanted to talk about, not even to find solution, just because this is happening. 15 ? 20 ? 30 years ? This wave will start with us.
