Translation from Latin: In this sign you will win. As a semiotician I like the use of Latin and the word sign. As a Buddhist I can support this ethos if it is reasonable and wholesomely unites the traditional West against those who are destroying it. As an American of Baltic extraction, gotta admit I cringe at knights in armor bearing crosses. Even still, I support Christian unity and wise resistance against the enemies of the West, many of whom are recent invaders and many of whom are ancient infiltrators. I believe a good many Eastern Europeans think the way I do. Both recent and ancient experience has taught us you have to be practical and work every angle to defeat a powerful pathocracy. ABN
This level of incompetence mixed with deliberate corruption is rife throughout USA. Most of it appears to be in Dem states which have drifted into woke emotionalism and concomitant corruption. The buck should have stopped at the governor’s office. At the national level, corruption is much the same, though much worse and more entrenched. All large organizations are susceptible to corruption and weak employees who dare not do the right thing. Many organizations can live a long time while burdened with parasites, but in the end, entire civilizations fall for these reasons. ABN
FIML is the quintessence of interpersonal social behavior. FIML is the quintessence of interpersonal cooperation. As such, it transforms what we call “personality” by altering the basis of experience.
If social behavior is understood quantitatively, then “more social” means more social contacts.
If social behavior is understood qualitatively, then “more social” becomes “better social”; i.e. more honest, true, profound, fulfilling.
It is not possible to have high-quality interpersonal interactions without a precise way to manage and correct errors in communication as they occur.
Personality is based on interpersonal experiences. Change the experiences and you change the personality.
Improve the experience and you improve everything.
What is going on at Turning Point right now should be termed the Scottsdale Witch Trials.
I have now gathered first-person accounts that executives are dragging people into offices asking about their allegiance to Erika. Specifically, one person was told that an uber driver told their CMO that his daughter was friends with an employee who didn’t like Erika.
Andrew Kolvet then hauled the uber-mentioned employee into an office and questioned her about the driver’s account, regarding which, she was totally mystified.
Another person had the Turning Point in-house counsel show up at her personal home, tell her she was fired “hi, I’m outside, you are fired” and then demanded she not delete anything and hand over her company laptop.
Another young woman thought she was going in for a bonus because they had worked so hard on Amfest and have not stopped since Charlie’s assassination. Despite 250 million dollars raised since Charlie’s assassination, she was fired. No reason given. She believes Turning Point may have installed some sort of spyware on their company laptops because the previous evening, she had communicated to another Turning Point employee that she wasn’t fond of Erika’s leadership style.
We have a recording of her firing and will be releasing it later today.
What is especially incredible is that NONE of my actual sources were terminated but these people were.
As Israel’s image has suffered from its genocidal campaign in Gaza, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt and broader Jewry are targeting Hispanic evangelical communities in the United States and Central America to cultivate a fresh base of golems who will back Zionist causes.
Greenblatt recently announced a formal partnership with the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference during a speaking engagement at Sinai Temple in Los Angeles, revealing an extensive outreach initiative targeting Hispanic evangelical communities. “We have roughly 2,000 active synagogues in America. There are 42,000 active Hispanic evangelical churches,” Greenblatt told the audience. “Right now, the ADL is co-writing Sunday school curriculum with them. Right now, the ADL is working on joint lobby days with them.”
The ADL announced the partnership on October 16, 2025, creating educational materials for distribution across Hispanic evangelical churches in the United States. The collaboration encompasses a 12-month antisemitism awareness curriculum distributed to pastors, youth leaders, and congregants, with specific modules designed for K-12 private schools. Faith-based resources include sermon guides and prayer materials promoting solidarity with Jewish communities.
The Natural Gas scenario would cost the least, while the Renewable scenario would be the highest-cost portfolio for meeting New England’s growing electricity needs. Contributed Graphic
A coalition of free-market think tanks, including Connecticut’s Yankee Institute, released a study Tuesday arguing that New England would save between $400 billion and $700 billion by 2050 if states replaced planned wind and solar projects with nuclear power plants and natural gas facilities.
The study, “Alternatives to New England’s Affordability Crisis,” estimated meeting the region’s 2050 energy needs with nuclear power would cost $415.3 billion and achieve 92% carbon-free power, while natural gas would cost $106.9 billion with a 24.5% emissions reduction.
A combination of nuclear and natural gas plants — called the “Happy Medium” scenario — would cost $195.8 billion and cut emissions by 50%, according to the analysis conducted by Always On Energy Research.
…Ramsey’s idea was that a given belief is to be understood in terms of its causes and effects, the ways in which it’s formed and the role it plays in behaviour, in conjunction with other beliefs, desires and mental states. This idea, now called functionalism in the philosophy of mind, is considered by many the most promising way to make sense of mental representation.
A philosophy of psychology must contend with similar problems as a philosophy of mind, and vice versa.
So how to understand any given belief pertaining to any psychological matter having to do with self or other?
In addition to what is stated in the quotation above, psychological “belief” (or, better, analysis) must contend with real-world, real-time events as they happen.
Understanding must be based on real-world, real-time events. That is precisely what FIML does or allows us to do. That is what FIML is for.
FIML can be understood as a philosophical process or method of thinking that is constant, continuous, and never stops. FIML situates the mind’s understanding of itself and other in an ongoing psycho-philosophical inquiry that is stabilized by being an agreed upon method that partners can use and refer to whenever they want.
In this, FIML reflects, embraces, and participates in the conscious development or evolution of thought, mind, spirit, belief, awareness. FIML is actively in the world while also providing a psychologically stable place from which to observe the world, self, and other.
In many respects for humans, there is nothing more basic or important than consciousness. Since FIML consciously works with consciousness as it shifts and adapts to another consciousness in real-time, it is arguably the most basic and objective thing there is.
Language cannot be divorced from communication with other. Theories of language and mind must account for this. Since communication with other is an activity (that always affects each), a philosophy of mind/belief/language must be based on an active method of ongoing communication analysis.
Just as you cannot learn to swim without getting into the water, you cannot have a philosophy of mind that does not actively analyze and influence communication in real-time.
