Al Overview +7 The seven deadly sins, also known as the capital vices or cardinal sins, are a grouping of major vices within Christian teachings used to instruct followers on immorality and personal failings. The standard list includes: &<


• Pride (Latin: Superbia): An excessive love of oneself and an inflated view of one's personal greatness without regard for others.


• Greed (Latin: Avaritia): An excessive pursuit and attachment to material possessions and earthly goods.

• Lust (Latin: Luxuria): A disordered desire for or enjoyment of sexual pleasure.


• Envy (Latin: Invidia): A selfish sadness at the prosperity of others, often accompanied by a desire to have what they possess.

= Lust (Latin: Luxuria): A disordered desire for or enjoyment of sexual pleasure. <


• Envy (Latin: Invidia): A selfish sadness at the prosperity of others, often accompanied by a desire to have what they possess.


• Gluttony (Latin: Gula): A disordered or excessive love of eating and drinking, which can also extend to eating too soon, too daintily, or too eagerly.


• Wrath (Latin: Ira): Strong, excessive anger and hate toward another person, often a disordered desire for vengeance.


• Sloth (Latin: Acedia): A form of spiritual laziness or weariness that leads to a neglect of duties and an avoidance of good works.


History and Cultural Significance The concept originated with the fourth-century monk Evagrius Ponticus, who listed eight "wicked thoughts" or temptations. This list was translated into Latin and later refined by Pope Gregory the Great in the 6th century into the seven capital sins recognized today, which he ordered by increasing severity (from lust to pride). & <


These sins have influenced a wide range of artistic and cultural works, from medieval texts like Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy and Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales to modern popular media such as literature, film, and anime series like The Seven Deadly Sins.


Antidotes (Heavenly Virtues) • In Christian tradition, each deadly sin is countered by a corresponding heavenly virtue: ®

• Pride is countered by Humility.

• Greed is countered by Generosity or Charity.

• Lust is countered by Chastity or Self-control.

• Envy is countered by Kindness or Gratitude.

Memories are recordings of past conscious moments. <


When you say ,”Trigger is the moment where our body remembers something our mind tried to forget.” How about “where our conscious mind remembers something repressed in our unconscious mind.” “Tried to forget “ is synonymous with “repressed memory.” <



I’m always trying to think of a definition of conscious mind . I just thought of a possible one : conscious mind is both in the present as sensing and in the past as memory . Unconscious mind is all memories , all in the past not doing any sensing in the present. <


Anticipation of the future , speculation, planning is in the conscious mind but it’s based on memories from the unconscious combined with current , immediate, present sensations. Or it can be based entirely on memories, manipulated in the present in the conscious mind when we think-to-ourselves, excluding present sensations. <

move. Now, we wait to see how Washington responds. Before I let you go, let me recap the key points here. China ordered all state funded data centers to stop using foreign Al chips. This decision ends a major US leverage point and reflects Beijing's confidence in its domestic semiconductor industry. Companies like Nvidia just lost access to one of the world's largest markets, to one of the world's largest markets, while Chinese firms like Huawei are about to see billions flow their way. This isn't a sudden move. It's the result of over a decade of planning and investment aimed at achieving what Beijing calls algorithmic sovereignty. And ultimately, it signals a shift in the global Al race from interdependence to self-reliance with profound implications for who holds power in Beijing calls algorithmic sovereignty.

believe that Mr. Mitrich is not quite up to date when he says that he doesn't expect to see China come up with radically new technology. They just did so in October the Peking University announced the success of the prototype of the analog chip a it has developed using RRAM (Resistive Random Access Memory) technology. The chips are 1000 times faster than Nvidia's H100 a chip and consumes 100th the amount of energy. How long before these chips are in production I cannot say, but it was also reported that the chips were made using commercially available manufacting processes, so l don't expect it to be more than 18-24 months

Republican Rape of America ; 2024-25 white race riot continues: DHS Data Show ICE Mostly Targeting People With No Criminal Convictions

'This Is the Scandal': DHS Data Show ICE Mostly Targeting People With No Criminal Convictions <


Jessica Corbett 16 hours ago<


The libertarian Cato Institute A RIGHT WING THINKTANK this week further undermined the Trump administration's claims that it is targeting "the worst of the worst" with its violent immigration operations in communities across the United States by publishing data about the criminal histories—or lack thereof-of immigrants who have been arrested and booked into detention.<


David J. Bier, the institute's director of immigration studies, previously reported in June that 65% of people taken by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had no con- victions, and 93% had no violent convictions.

Monday evening, Bier shared a new nonpublic dataset leaked to Cato. Of the 44,882 people booked into ICE custody from when the fiscal year began on October 1 through November 15, 73% had no criminal convictions. For that share, around two-thirds also had no pending charges. The data also show that most of those recently booked into ICE detention with criminal convictions had faced immigration, traffic, or vice charges. Just 5% had a violent conviction, and 3% had a property conviction.


Only 5 percent of individuals booked into ICE detention had a violent criminal <

Actually Freudianism psychologists were better than the current generation of psychiatrists/ psychologists . See footnote below . Freudian structure of European mind is not a bad start. <


Freudian model Just needs to be infused with emphasis on memories , long and short term, and symbolic communication, words . Most of our thoughts are memories; and sensations infused with memory , or recognition of a sensation by a memory; thus most of the time we are familiar with our sensations; humans have word memories of current sensations. We can describe in words what we are seeing , hearing, smelling , tasting , touching . Every command we give our body to act is infused with memories in relatively soft or loud words . Do you find this to be true ? Recently I’ve been trying to make myself voice out loud my thoughts which have a “sound” in my head but the voice of it is not my speaking voice . I got to this introspective experimental thinking by our discussions of my youthful introspective experiments . <



Al Overview +4 Freudianism is a theory of human psychology that focuses on the influence of the unconscious mind on behavior. The theory proposes the mind is composed of three interacting parts: the id (unconscious, pleasure-seeking drives), the ego (conscious, reality-based mediator, and the superego (unconscious and conscious moral conscience). Key concepts also include psychosexual development stages, the role of defense mechanisms, and the influence of life and death instincts (Eros and Thanatos). Core Concepts of Freudianism • The Unconscious Mind: A reservoir of feelings, thoughts, and memories outside of conscious awareness that significantly influences behavior.

Subsequently, the second Chchin war erupted. Chetchin militants, including Islamic Sunni radicals, recruited individuals connected to ISIS and related extremist organizations before launching attacks inside Russian territory. American intelligence agencies, particularly the CIA, actively supported the Chetchin insurgency. This support began on August 7th, 1998. 2 <


days later, on August 9th, Boris Yelten appointed Vladimir Putin as prime minister of Russia. 4 months later at 1
the end of December 1999, Yeltson suddenly resigned and Putin assumed the 1
presidency. <


The sequence was not coincidental. Russian leadership recognized that Western powers had no recognized that Western powers had no intention of forming genuine partnerships with Russia. Instead of inviting Russia into NATO as an equal partner, the West had manufactured Russia as a threatening adversary. This narrative served the interests of the military-industrial complex which required an enemy to justify continued required an enemy to justify continued massive defense budgets. <


Multiple Russian leaders including Boris Yelten and later Vladimir Putin approached American administrations expressing interest in joining NATO as full members. Putin specifically made this overture to President Bill Clinton. The Clinton administration rejected these proposals categorically. <


The fundamental reason for this rejection was straightforward. If Russia had been 1
accepted as a NATO member, NATO would have ceased to possess a logical reason to exist. The entire strategic rationale for NATO's existence postcold war depended upon maintaining Russia as a threatening external adversary. Accepting Russia as a partner would have destroyed the narrative justifying continued military spending, expansion, and weapons procurement. The original purpose of NATO was to prevent Soviet military expansion into Eastern Europe following World War II. However, this original threat had fundamentally changed by the 1990s. The Soviet Union had dissolved. Russian military capacity had contracted dramatically. During the 1990 to 2011 period, Russian military forces declined in absolute size by 2/3, shrinking from 3.5 million personnel to forces declined in absolute size by 2/3, 17:39 shrinking from 3.5 million personnel to 17:42 approximately 1.3 million. The notion 17:45 that Russia posed an existential threat 17:48 to Europe during this period was 17:50 demonstrably false. Yet this false 17:52 narrative became the centerpiece of 17:54 Western strategic doctrine precisely 17:56 because the military-industrial complex 17:59 required such a narrative to justify 18:01 continued spending and expansion. The Soviet Union at the end of World War II 18:06 had responded to repeated historical 18:08 invasions by creating buffer states. 18:11 Russia had been invaded repeatedly, 18:13 three times within approximately 150 18:15 years. The Soviet response of 18:18 establishing buffer states in Poland, 18:20 Romania, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia 18:22 reflected a rational security concern, Russia had been invaded repeatedly, 18:13 three times within approximately 150 18:15 years. The Soviet response of 18:18 establishing buffer states in Poland, 18:20 Romania, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia 18:22 reflected a rational security concern, 18:25 not evidence of aggressive imperial 18:27 ambitions.

Marx explains: why the Chinese model terrifies Wall Street <


Nov23 2025 <


China's rise as an industrial power challenges Western capitalist narratives in ways many don't understand. The West financialized its economy while China built real productive capacity. The result: whoever controls the factories controls the world. "China proves that free markets are more efficient"—this is repeated to justify deregulation, when China systematically subordinates financial capital to the state and plans its industry decades in advance. "Financial capitalism is the most advanced stage" — this is sold as progress, when Marx warned that speculation on real production is a terminal symptom of the system. Wall Street moves trillions while factories close.


"Deindustrialization is inevitable; we are a service economy"-this is naturalized as evolution, when it was a political decision to transfer production to China to maximize short-term profits. Now they depend on supply chains they don't control. while factories close. "Deindustrialization is inevitable; we are a service economy"-this is naturalized as evolution, when it was a political decision to transfer production to China to maximize short-term profits. Now they depend on supply chains they don't control. "China is a threat because it distorts markets"-this is presented as a technical problem, when the real panic is that China keeps productive capital subordinate to industrial capital, reversing contradictions that the West normalized.

We tried to sound the alarm. We pointed out the dangerous rhetoric, the dog whistles, the barely concealed bigotry. And what did we get in return? We were told we talked about race too much. We were accused of playing the race card, of being divisive, of making everything about identity politics. Other minority groups, particularly some segments of the Indian-American, Asian-American, and Latino communities, looked at MAGA and saw opportunity. They saw a chance to align themselves with power to be considered part of the in-roup to distance themselves from blackness and proximity to black struggle. They convinced themselves that if they worked considered part of the in-group to 2:01 hard enough, assimilated thoroughly enough, and pledged loyalty loudly enough, they would be accepted as equals.

Racism and a white majority population are the bottom line for the majority of white people.


All issues in U.S. come down to white supremacy in population ratio; from the beginning of the nation. The threat to that ratio dominance especially from Latino immigration right now has determined this Presidential race .


2024 , like 1994, was WHITE RACE RIOT . And , of course, the Democratic candidate was a Black-Brown woman ; icing on devil's food cake.

Amazing how , though consistently presenting myself as critical of racism , Americans often act more racist than I estimate! I did not think they were gonna be this racist , but they are .

Here is a breakdown of the key differences: • Definition of Tyrant: In ancient Greece, a "tyrant" (tyrannos) was a person who took sole control of a city-state outside of the established law and traditional authority (unlike a king, whose power was hereditary). The term originally had a neutral, merely descriptive connotation, similar to a modern dictator, and some were even benevolent rulers. Al Overview <

While many Greek tyrants gained power with popular support and implemented reforms benefiting the masses, they were not considered more democratic than hereditary kings in the ancient Greek political framework.

"Labour is, in the first place, a process in which both man and Nature participate, and in which man of his own accord starts, regulates, and controls the material re-actions between himself and Nature. He opposes himself to Nature as one of her own forces, setting in motion arms and legs, head and hands, the natural forces of his body, in order to appropriate Nature’s productions in a form adapted to his own wants. By thus acting on the external world and changing it, he at the same time changes his own nature. He develops his slumbering powers and compels them to act in obedience to his sway. We are not now dealing with those primitive instinctive forms of labour that remind us of the mere animal. An immeasurable interval of time separates the state of things in which a man brings his labour-power to market for sale as a commodity, from that state in which human labour was still in its first instinctive stage. We pre-suppose labour in a form that stamps it as exclusively human. A spider conducts operations that resemble those of a weaver, and a bee puts to shame many an architect in the construction of her cells. But what distinguishes the worst architect from the best of bees is this, that the architect raises his structure in imagination before he erects it in reality. At the end of every labour-process, we get a result that already existed in the imagination of the labourer at its commencement. He not only effects a change of form in the material on which he works, but he also realises a purpose of his own that gives the law to his modus operandi, and to which he must subordinate his will. And this subordination is no mere momentary act. Besides the exertion of the bodily organs, the process demands that, during the whole operation, the workman’s will be steadily in consonance with his purpose. This means close attention. The less he is attracted by the nature of the work, and the mode in which it is carried on, and the less, therefore, he enjoys it as something which gives play to his bodily and mental powers, the more close his attention is forced to be." https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/ch07.htm

Modern Era 19th Century: Hysteria became a broad diagnosis for women who were disobedient or non-conforming, and it was common for women to be institutionalized for symptoms like tiredness, nervousness, or emotional outbursts. Jean-Martin Charcot viewed hysteria as a neurological disorder, and Sigmund Freud believed it was a physical expression of psychological suffering rooted in past trauma. 20th Century: The diagnosis of hysteria began to decline as mental and neurological illnesses became better understood. Eventually, the term was officially removed from diagnostic manuals in 1980. Lasting impact Even with the disappearance of the specific diagnosis, the historical association of women's mental and physical health problems with their reproductive organs, and the tendency to dismiss women's symptoms as psychological, continues to have negative consequences on women's health today. 15m Hysteria through history YouTube·Babraham Institute

Its origin is supposed to be explained when it is told as an anecdote of the past. In times long gone by there were two sorts of people; one, the diligent, intelligent, and, above all, frugal elite; the other, lazy rascals, spending their substance, and more, in riotous living. The legend of theological original sin tells us certainly how man came to be condemned to eat his bread in the sweat of his brow; but the history of economic original sin reveals to us that there are people to whom this is by no means essential. Never mind! Thus it came to pass that the former sort accumulated wealth, and the latter sort had at last nothing to sell except their own skins. And from this original sin dates the poverty of the great majority that, despite all its labour, has up to now nothing to sell but itself, and the wealth of the few that increases constantly although they have long ceased to work.

Part VIII: Primitive Accumulation

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Secret of Primitive Accumulation


We have seen how money is changed into capital; how through capital surplus-value is made, and from surplus-value more capital. But the accumulation of capital presupposes surplus-value; surplus-value presupposes capitalistic production; capitalistic production presupposes the pre-existence of considerable masses of capital and of labour power in the hands of producers of commodities. The whole movement, therefore, seems to turn in a vicious circle, out of which we can only get by supposing a primitive accumulation (previous accumulation of Adam Smith) preceding capitalistic accumulation; an accumulation not the result of the capitalistic mode of production, but its starting point.

And from this original sin dates the poverty of the great majority that, despite all its labour, has up to now nothing to sell but itself, and the wealth of the few that increases constantly although they have long ceased to work. Such insipid childishness is every day preached to us in the defence of property. M. Thiers, e.g., had the assurance to repeat it with all the solemnity of a statesman to the French people, once so spirituel. But as soon as the question of property crops up, it becomes a sacred duty to proclaim the intellectual food of the infant as the one thing fit for all ages and for all stages of development.

Right and “labour” were from all time the sole means of enrichment, the present year of course always excepted. As a matter of fact, the methods of primitive accumulation are anything but idyllic.


In themselves money and commodities are no more capital than are the means of production and of subsistence. They want transforming into capital. But this transformation itself can only take place under certain circumstances that centre in this, viz., that two very different kinds of commodity-possessors must come face to face and into contact; on the one hand, the owners of money, means of production, means of subsistence, who are eager to increase the sum of values they possess, by buying other people’s labour power; on the other hand, free labourers, the sellers of their own labour power, and therefore the sellers of labour. Free labourers, in the double sense that neither they themselves form part and parcel of the means of production, as in the case of slaves, bondsmen, &c., nor do the means of production belong to them, as in the case of peasant-proprietors; they are, therefore, free from, unencumbered by, any means of production of their own. With this polarization of the market for commodities, the fundamental conditions of capitalist production are given. The capitalist system presupposes the complete separation of the labourers from all property in the means by which they can realize their labour. As soon as capitalist production is once on its own legs, it not only maintains this separation, but reproduces it on a continually extending scale. The process, therefore, that clears the way for the capitalist system, can be none other than the process which takes away from the labourer the possession of his means of production; a process that transforms, on the one hand, the social means of subsistence and of production into capital, on the other, the immediate producers into wage labourers. The so-called primitive accumulation, therefore, is nothing else than the historical process of divorcing the producer from the means of production. It appears as primitive, because it forms the prehistoric stage of capital and of the mode of production corresponding with it. The economic structure of capitalist society has grown out of the economic structure of feudal society. The dissolution of the latter set free the elements of the former.


The immediate producer, the labourer, could only dispose of his own person after he had ceased to be attached to the soil and ceased to be the slave, serf, or bondsman of another. To become a free seller of labour power, who carries his commodity wherever he finds a market, he must further have escaped from the regime of the guilds, their rules for apprentices and journeymen, and the impediments of their labour regulations. Hence, the historical movement which changes the producers into wage-workers, appears, on the one hand, as their emancipation from serfdom and from the fetters of the guilds, and this side alone exists for our bourgeois historians. But, on the other hand, these new freedmen became sellers of themselves only after they had been robbed of all their own means of production, and of all the guarantees of existence afforded by the old feudal arrangements. And the history of this, their expropriation, is written in the annals of mankind in letters of blood and fire.

The industrial capitalists, these new potentates, had on their part not only to displace the guild masters of handicrafts, but also the feudal lords, the possessors of the sources of wealth. In this respect, their conquest of social power appears as the fruit of a victorious struggle both against feudal lordship and its revolting prerogatives, and against the guilds and the fetters they laid on the free development of production and the free exploitation of man by man. The chevaliers d’industrie, however, only succeeded in supplanting the chevaliers of the sword by making use of events of which they themselves were wholly innocent. They have risen by means as vile as those by which the Roman freedman once on a time made himself the master of his patronus. The starting point of the development that gave rise to the wage labourer as well as to the capitalist, was the servitude of the labourer. The advance consisted in a change of form of this servitude, in the transformation of feudal exploitation into capitalist exploitation. To understand its march, we need not go back very far. Although we come across the first beginnings of capitalist production as early as the 14th or 15th century, sporadically, in certain towns of the Mediterranean, the capitalistic era dates from the 16th century. Wherever it appears, the abolition of serfdom has been long effected, and the highest development of the middle ages, the existence of sovereign towns, has been long on the wane. In the history of primitive accumulation, all revolutions are epoch-making that act as levers for the capital class in course of formation; but, above all, those moments when great masses of men are suddenly and forcibly torn from their means of subsistence, and hurled as free and “unattached” proletarians on the labour-market. The expropriation of the agricultural producer, of the peasant, from the soil, is the basis of the whole process. The history of this expropriation, in different countries, assumes different aspects, and runs through its various phases in different orders of succession, and at different periods. In England alone, which we take as our example, has it the classic form. [1]

Footnotes 1. In Italy, where capitalistic production developed earliest, the dissolution of serfdom also took place earlier than elsewhere. The serf was emancipated in that country before he had acquired any prescriptive right to the soil. His emancipation at once transformed him into a free proletarian, who, moreover, found his master ready waiting for him in the towns, for the most part handed down as legacies from the Roman time. When the revolution of the world-market, about the end of the 15th century, annihilated Northern Italy’s commercial supremacy, a movement in the reverse direction set in. The labourers of the towns were driven en masse into the country, and gave an impulse, never before seen, to the petite culture, carried on in the form of gardening.

I’m thinking the whole Republicans’ emphasis on accusing Dems of pedophilia is following the Nazis Goebbels’ “mirror accusations “ demagogic method : accuse your enemies of your own crimes . It’s currently popularly referred to as “projection “, a psychology term. <


“Yes, Joseph Goebbels and Nazi propagandists utilized a technique known as "accusation in a mirror" to impute to enemies what they themselves were planning to do. This psychological projection was a key part of their propaganda strategy, used to justify their own actions by portraying Germany as the victim of aggression. “


I refer to it as “ wolf in sheep’s clothing .”

Main aim of this section of Republicans is to find evidence of Bill Clinton associated with Epstein . Then Republicans in 2016 had this big lie about Hilary Clinton sex trafficking in a pizza parlor in New Jersey. All this is to coverup for Trump. It’s accusing the Clintons of what Trump ( and Goetz ) are doing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustavo_Petro


t 17 years old, Petro joined the guerrilla group 19th of April Movement (M-19). Seventeen years later it evolved into the M-19 Democratic Alliance, a political party. Petro also served as a councilman in Zipaquirá. He was arrested in 1985 by the army for his affiliation with M-19. After the peace process between the Colombian government and the M-19, he was released and then elected to the Chamber of Representatives in the 1991 Colombian parliamentary election. Some years later, he was elected to the Colombian Senate as a member of the Alternative Democratic Pole (PDA) party following the 2006 Colombian parliamentary election, where he secured the second-largest vote. In 2009, he resigned his Senate seat to run in the 2010 Colombian presidential election, finishing fourth.[3] He was elected mayor of Bogotá in 2011, and held the post until 2015.[4] Due to ideological disagreements with the leaders of the PDA, he founded the Humane Colombia movement to compete for the mayoralty of Bogotá. On 30 October 2011, he was elected mayor in the local elections, a position he assumed on 1 January 2012.[5] In the first round of the 2018 Colombian presidential election, he came second with over 25% of the votes on 27 May, and lost in the run-off election on 17 June.[6] He defeated Rodolfo Hernández Suárez in the second round of the 2022 presidential election on 19 June.[7]


Petro was born on 19 April 1960 in the municipality of Ciénaga de Oro in the Córdoba Department, the son of Gustavo Petro Sierra and Clara Nubia Urrego.[d] Petro is predominantly descended from long-established mestizo Colombian families, though his father is of one quarter Italian descent through Petro's paternal great-grandfather, Francesco Petro, who migrated from Southern Italy in 1870,[8] and Petro's mother is of half Italian descent via Petro's maternal grandmother, Lucia Pellegrini, who was from Conza della Campania,[9][10] thus earning him dual Colombian and Italian citizenship.[11] Petro was raised in the Catholic faith and has stated that he has a vision of God from liberation theology,[12] although he also questioned God's existence.[13] Seeking a better future, Petro's family decided to migrate to the more prosperous Colombian inland town of Zipaquirá, just north of Bogotá, during the 1970s.[14] M-19 militancy


edit Convinced that the guerrilla struggle could change the political and economic system of Colombia, around the age of 17, Petro became a member of the 19th of April Movement (M-19),[15] a Colombian guerrilla organisation that emerged in 1974 in opposition to the National Front coalition after allegations of fraud in the 1970 election.[16] He used the pseudonym of Aureliano, a character in the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude.[17]


During his time in M-19, Petro emerged as a leader; he was elected ombudsman of Zipaquirá in 1981 and councilman from 1984 to 1986.[18] In 1985, the M-19 assassinated 13 Colombian politicians at the Palace of Justice. This group was also involved with kidnapping and violence in villages across the country. He led the M-19's seizure of land to house 400 poor families who had been forcibly displaced by paramilitary groups, and then contributed to the construction of what would become the Bolívar 83 neighborhood. He then went underground and allied with Carlos Pizarro, one of the main commanders of the M-19, insisting on the need for a negotiated political solution to the Colombian armed conflict and the transition to a Constituent Assembly.[17]


In 1985, Petro was arrested by the army for illegal arms possession. He was tortured for ten days in the stables of the XIII Brigade,[17] then sentenced to 18 months in prison.[19][14] It was during his incarceration that Petro shifted his ideology, no longer viewing armed resistance as a feasible strategy to gain public backing. In 1987, M-19 engaged in peace talks with the government.[20] Education edit<


Petro graduated in 1982 with a bachelor's degree in economics from the Universidad Externado de Colombia[21] and began graduate studies at the Escuela Superior de Administración Pública (ESAP). Later, he started a master's degree in economics from the Universidad Javeriana but never graduated.[22][23] He then traveled to Belgium and started his graduate studies in Economy and Human Rights at the Université catholique de Louvain. He also began his studies towards a doctoral degree in public administration from the University of Salamanca in Spain.[24][25][

• Al Overview +5 : Hegel did not state that "comedic logic is superior to grandiloquent logic" in those exact terms. His analysis, primarily in his Lectures on Aesthetics, positions comedy as philosophically more advanced or "higher" than tragedy in the historical development of art, due to its capacity to express absolute subjectivity and a cheerful, self-assured reconciliation with the world. Here is a breakdown of his perspective: • Comedy's Advanced Position: For Hegel, art evolves through different historical phases (symbolic, classical, romantic). Comedy, as part of the romantic phase, is the final form of art, marking its transition into philosophy and religion. • Reconciliation of Contradictions: True comedy, as seen in Aristophanes' works, achieves a "reconciliation of contradictions"Reconciliation of Contradictions: True comedy, as seen in Aristophanes' works, achieves a "reconciliation of contradictions" by revealing the inherent nullity and self-dissolving nature of one-sided, finite human aims and particularities. The comic character is able to laugh at themselves and their foibles, demonstrating a "lightness of spirit" and rising above the situation. • Critique of "Grandiloquence" (Implied): While he does not use the term "grandiloquent logic," Hegel's philosophy generally critiques abstract, one-sided, or overly serious positions that fail to grasp the full, dialectical nature of reality. The tragic hero, for instance, is bound to a single, substantial goal and is destroyed by the conflict with an opposing value. The comic hero, by contrast, demonstrates a more developed self-awareness and freedom, navigating contradictions with an "infinite light-heartedness" In essence, Hegel valued the logic embedded within comedy because it mirrors the philosophical process of the dialectic: accepting a position, revealing its internal contradiction, hero, for instance, is bound to a single, substantial goal and is destroyed by the conflict with an opposing value. The comic hero, by contrast, demonstrates a more developed self-awareness and freedom, navigating contradictions with an "infinite light-heartedness". In essence, Hegel valued the logic embedded within comedy because it mirrors the philosophical process of the dialectic: accepting a position, revealing its internal contradiction, and moving to a higher, more comprehensive understanding and reconciliation. The "grandiloquent" (or overly serious, abstract) approach, conversely, would be seen as less sophisticated because it fails to grasp the inherent contradictions and the potential for their resolution in a higher form.

These people die NOT because we lack the ability to solve these problems, but because it is not profitable to do so. The Black Book of Communism alleges that communism has killed 94 million people since 1917.

In just 5 years, capitalism has killed 100 million people.

More than communism ever has through the last 100 years.

AI Overview Yes, W.E.B. Du Bois met with Mao Zedong in 1959. Their meeting occurred during Du Bois's trip to China, where he observed National Day celebrations from the rostrum in Tiananmen Square alongside Mao and other Chinese leaders. A photograph of the two men meeting was taken during the visit. Meeting details: Du Bois met with Mao Zedong in April 1959 at Mao's villa in South Central China. A photograph of the event exists in the W.E.B. Du Bois Papers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst Libraries.


Context: Du Bois's 1959 trip was one of his visits to China, and he was accompanied by his wife, Shirley Graham Du Bois. The visit was sponsored by Chinese cultural and peace committees.

Significance: The meeting highlighted the political relationship between Du Bois and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and Mao saw Du Bois as a key figure for cultivating alliances with African nations.


Yes, Mao Zedong met with W.E.B. Du Bois on at least two occasions, first in 1959 and again in 1962.


Du Bois and his wife, Shirley Graham Du Bois, visited the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1959 as part of a four-month tour of the Soviet Union and China. During this visit, they met with Mao Zedong, who welcomed them at his villa. Photographs exist of them together, capturing a moment of personal warmth as well as diplomacy. Du Bois celebrated his 91st birthday in Beijing during this trip and delivered a speech at Peking University titled "China and Africa," which was broadcast around the world by Peking Radio.

They returned to China in 1962 to participate in the 30th anniversary celebration of the People's Republic of China, where they met with Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai again.

These meetings were significant during the Cold War, as China used the international reputation of Du Bois to help establish alliances with African countries and position itself as the leader of the emergent "Third World". The U.S. State Department had confiscated the Du Boises' passports for eight years, only returning them a few months before their 1959 trip, and mainstream U.S. media largely ignored the visit.

The primary purpose of W.E.B. Du Bois's 1959 visit to China was to observe and report the truth about the progress of communism in the country, and to connect the struggles of African Americans with the liberation movements of people of color worldwide.

Specific details and objectives of the visit include:


Countering Western Propaganda: Du Bois aimed to challenge negative Western narratives about the People's Republic of China and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. He was critical of American capitalism and colonialism and sought to present a different perspective on communist societies.


Pan-Africanist Solidarity: The visit was a key moment in Du Bois's Pan-Africanist vision, where he connected the plight of "darker races" with the self-determination of nations like China and those in Africa. His speech at Peking University on his 91st birthday, titled "China and Africa," emphasized the need for African nations to "turn from the West" and unite with China. Observing Social Change: Du Bois sought to witness firsthand the changes brought about by the Chinese Communist Party's policies, such as the "Great Leap Forward," and praised the improvements he observed in education and equality. He was hosted by the China Peace Committee and the Chinese People's Association for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries.


Personal and Political Freedom: The trip was made possible after the U.S. government, which had previously confiscated his passport for eight years due to his political beliefs, was legally forced to return it in 1958. The visit was an exercise of his freedom of movement and an act of defiance against U.S. isolationist policies toward the PRC. In essence, Du Bois's visit was both a personal exploration of the communist world and a high-profile political statement about global racial and economic justice.

Du Bois? While specific transcripts of their private conversations are not publicly detailed in the search results, the general content focused on global anti-imperialism, Afro-Asian solidarity, and the struggle against racial injustice. During the 1959 visit, the Du Boises were treated with high state honors, and their interactions with Mao and other Chinese leaders like Premier Zhou Enlai were designed to promote an alliance between China and emerging African nations. Key themes and topics likely discussed: Anti-Colonialism and Anti-Imperialism: Both Mao and Du Bois viewed the struggles of colonized peoples in the "Third World" (Africa, Asia, and Latin America) as intertwined with the fight against Western imperialism, particularly U.S. imperialism. Afro-Asian Solidarity: The meetings aimed to solidify a non-aligned Afro-Asian alliance, following the ideological groundwork of the 1955 Bandung Conference. Mao sought to position China as the true anti-imperial alternative to both American and Soviet superpowers. Racial Equality and Social Justice: Du Bois emphasized the racial equality he observed in China, contrasting it with the pervasive racism and discrimination he faced in the United States. The Chinese state media used the visit to highlight the plight of African Americans as victims of U.S. oppression, thereby reinforcing the narrative of shared experience against Western dominance. Socialist Revolution and Development: Given Du Bois's and his wife Shirley Graham Du Bois's socialist sympathies, the conversations likely touched upon China's path to socialist development (such as the Great Leap Forward, which was ongoing at the time) and the global communist movement. Du Bois's public speech at Peking University in February 1959, delivered in the presence of Chinese leadership, encapsulated these themes, urging Africa to "Turn from the west...China is flesh of your flesh and blood of your blood". The private conversations likely mirrored these public stances, focusing on strategic international alliances and shared ideological ground in the global Cold War context.

UNC Press Blog -What was the Chinese Communist Party's goal in inviting W.E.B. Du Bois to China? The Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) goal in inviting W.E.B. Du Bois to China was primarily diplomatic and propagandistic, aimed at advancing its foreign policy objectives during the Cold War. Key objectives included: Positioning China as the Leader of the "Third World": At a time when many nations in Africa, Asia, and Latin America were gaining independence from colonial powers, Mao sought to present the People's Republic of China (PRC) as the true anti-imperialist alternative to both the United States and the Soviet Union. Du Bois, as the internationally renowned "father of Pan-Africanism" and a prominent advocate for anti-colonial struggles, was a symbolic figure who could help validate this claim. Challenging U.S. Influence and Anti-China Propaganda: The U.S. government had implemented a strict policy of isolation and containment against the PRC and had confiscated the Du Boises' passports for eight years, highlighting the deep political divisions. By hosting the Du Boises and providing them with an esteemed platform, the CCP could implicitly criticize U.S. race relations and challenge Western anti-China narratives. Gaining International Allies: Du Bois's positive accounts of China and his public endorsements (such as his 1959 speech in which he urged African nations to "Turn from the west" and align with China) were broadcast globally, directly contributing to China's efforts to establish diplomatic relations with newly independent African states. Ghana established diplomatic relations shortly after his visit, followed by many others. Propaganda for Domestic and International Audiences: The visit was highly publicized in Chinese state media, portraying Du Bois as an icon who supported the PRC's model of development. This helped propagate China's achievements to the outside world (albeit a curated version that hid issues like the ongoing Great Famine resulting from the Great Leap Forward) and built international class solidarity. Leveraging African American Intellectuals: The CCP viewed the racial oppression faced by African Americans as a potential "weapon" against American capitalism and imperialism. By embracing African American intellectuals like Du Bois, the CCP hoped to inspire revolutionary movements abroad that aligned with their anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist goals.

Sixth Tone Show allDid any other prominent African Americans visit China during that time? Yes, other prominent African Americans, particularly those with leftist or Pan-Africanist leanings, also visited China around that time. The Chinese Communist Party actively sought to use the international standing of these figures to build alliances with African nations and criticize U.S. racial policies during the Cold War. Key individuals and categories of visitors included: Shirley Graham Du Bois: W.E.B. Du Bois's wife, a committed activist, writer, and a central figure in organizing their visits and promoting socialist ideals. She met with Chinese leaders alongside her husband and remained an active promoter of Sino-African solidarity. Paul Robeson and Langston Hughes: Although the search results suggest their primary interactions and alliances with Chinese leftists occurred earlier (during World War II and the immediate post-war period), their relationships with Chinese figures like journalist Liu Liangmo and dancer Sylvia Si-lan Chen helped pave the way for later visits like Du Bois's. Robert F. Williams: A prominent African American civil rights leader and Black Power advocate who went into exile. He eventually had extensive political discussions with senior Chinese officials and was seen by the Chinese leadership as their next high-profile African American ally after Du Bois's death in 1963. Eslanda Goode, Aubrey Pankey, and Victoria Garvin: These individuals (among others) traveled to Maoist China in the heavily politicized Cold War era. African Students: In the late 1950s and early 1960s, a number of African students began arriving in China, mostly from countries like Somalia and Cameroon, as a result of China's diplomatic outreach following the 1955 Bandung Conference. Did any prominent African Americans criticize Mao or China? What were their interactions and experiences in China? Did Robert F.

Merry X-mas and Xppropriate the Xppropriators and Powersthatbe Today: A Critique of X-mas for our Party <


by Tanico X

How Santa Claus is the saint of commodity fetishism or buying madness ! In an economic culture where buying mania must be instilled in people from the time they are small children, Santa is the perfect mind molestor , and his holiday the biggest on the calendar. The shopping ritual begins (in the U.S.) officially the day after Thanksgiving. This give-your-money-away festival is monthlong. "Shop until you drop as in a religious fervor" is a possible motto for it.


Yet, Christmas is certainly a season of great joy as well, real fun and happiness; there's no denying that. People really do get happy with family and friends in feasts, escaping alienation, lonliness and drudgery. It's a holiday !


A fundamental unity of opposites in the structure of our spiritual life: materialistic addiction and the birth of love in merriment, plus renewal of life with the new year, all in one cyclical celebration, the Sunday of the Year. For this civilization there is something profound about Christmas, X -mas.

Profound but not mysterious. It is a yearly, regular, routine profundity. Years creeping by at a 'petty pace, year after year until the last syllable of recorded time.' Perhaps mysterious in its myth of a virgin birth, virgin because white culture conceives of sex as dirty, sinning, soiled, a vice, so God is born without biological sex.


The great mystery or trick is not conception without biology and orgasm, but that just as much exchange of commodities and money as exchange of gifts goes on. We are a market, not a stone age economy of gift exchange. See the commodity exchange chains growing. M=C=M1=C1=M2... Token Gift exchange is used to promote commodity exchange really, but from the standpoint of celebration and ceremony, commodity exchange is promoted spiritually. Buying is a high, a good and virtuous high. Christmas cheer comes but once a year.


Well, if you do buy madly, buy in Detroit, yet think critically how through buying madness things control us and we don't control things. We become objects and things become subjects, with wills and powers as if alive. The mystery around Santa Claus helps to promote this mystical reversal of the real relations between people and the commodities they make and buy. Our greatest addiction problem is not "drugs", but our addictiion to commodities, our commodity fetishism, our buying madness, seeking to fulfill ourselves through things not people. People made the things, not elves.


Let me say it nicer. Celebration is vital. Merry, Happy to y'all.

Christmas comes but once a year, and to me it means good cheer, and to everyone who likes wine and beer. Happy New Year is after that. Happy we'll be, and that's a fact. Hey, Bessie, Christmas Cheer !

The taboos on the Secrets of Joy prevent this highest happy season in Europe/America from fulfillment. There is a mystery worth reading through, a riddle that will free the Sphinx in you. How do we really make Christmas better or is it perfect already ?

Criticism of religion is the premise of all criticism, so let us begin crticism of ceremony, festival, long, long cabaret by asking some questions about Christmas, our highest of holidays, holy of holy rituals. Who was Jesus Christ ? Was he the Son of God ? Does he live still now 2005 years or so since his birth ? If the answer to either of the second two questions is "no" , are we overdoing this holiday a bit ?

What is the Santa Claus myth ? What is the relation of Santa Claus to Jesus Christ ? Is the Patriarchal Great White Father of European civilization a net giver or taker, Provider or Xploiting Xppropriator ?

Do you dare to eat a peach ?

Tragedy is less than comedy, grandeloquent logic is inferior to comedic logic, rather than a folly of despair, let us make a folly as you like it. Lets have fun, fun , fun. Swirling bodies to sweet, sweet voices, decked in Black and joys. I don't only want to pursue happiness, I desire to have it and keep it. Tell the truth, don't you ? It's what our Blues are about.

How Now, our Party of a New Type ? Send a call across the airways, radioman. Seek a wonderous song and wise. Tell us true Black Athenas, Kemetians in disguise, Sisters with voices. quote:

* REJOICE AND REJOIN OUR SECRETS OF JOY * :

F U N X

Relatedly , I recently realized the love is not primarily a feeling . It’s action . A main form is sacrificing for others ; sacrificing is sort of your “fire” metaphor. <


Jesus’s ultimate sacrifice is thereby ultimate love ( for me metaphorically ; I don’t believe we are born in sin ; so he really didn’t have to make the sacrifice to save us because we don’t need to be saved; however the logic applies to real life of ordinary people ) . Taking care of people is the day to day love action .


Woman do the predominance of caring labor , and thereby are superior to men , in general.

Frederick Douglass: "Let me give you a word of the philosophy of reform. The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. The conflict has been exciting, agitating, all-absorbing, and for the time being, putting all other tumults to silence. It must do this or it does nothing. If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. In the light of these ideas, Negroes will be hunted at the North and held and flogged at the South so long as they submit to those devilish outrages and make no resistance, either moral or physical. Men may not get all they pay for in this world, but they must certainly pay for all they get. If we ever get free from the oppressions and wrongs heaped upon us, we must pay for their removal. We must do this by labor, by suffering, by sacrifice, and if needs be, by our lives and the lives of others." <

can ai recognize contradictions in its own statements ? <


Yes, Al systems, particularly large language models (LLMs), can be designed and trained to recognize contradictions in their own statements to a certain degree, but this ability is not inherent or perfect. It is an emerging area of research and development.<



Mechanisms and Capabilities • Training on Contradiction Data: Al models are often trained on large datasets containing paired statements labeled as consistent, contradictory, or neutral. This enables them to learn patterns associated with inconsistencies.


• Self-Correction Techniques: Researchers have developed techniques like "self-correction" and CRITIC prompting, where the Al is prompted to evaluate and refine its own outputs. In some specific tasks with well-defined answers, models have shown the ability to identify and correct their mistakes successfully.<


• Internal Activations Analysis: Studies have found that models possess an "intrinsic ability" to recognize errors, with information about truthfulness present in their internal processing. Probing classifiers can be trained to leverage these internal signals to predict the accuracy of a generated output. • Fact-Checking Integration: Some systems use external or internal mechanisms to verify facts, which helps in identifying statements that contradict known information or other statements within the same document. Limitations and Challenges • Lack of True Understanding: Current Al models operate based on learned statistical patterns and probabilities, not true understanding or reasoning. This means their Limitations and Challenges • Lack of True Understanding: Current Al models operate based on learned statistical patterns and probabilities, not true understanding or reasoning. This means their ability to spot subtle or complex logical fallacies is limited. • Dependence on Training Data: The effectiveness of contradiction detection heavily relies on the quality and structure of the input data and the nature of the contradiction. Biases or inaccuracies in the training data can lead to flaws in the self-correction process. • Performance Inconsistencies: Even state-of-the-art models may struggle with specific types of contradictions (e.g., in subjective topics like emotions or perspectives) and can still produce contradictory or misleading information, a phenomenon known as "hallucination". • Cognitive Load: Asking Al models to generate multiple outputs to compare for inconsistencies can increase cognitive load for both the Al and the user, sometimes hindering comprehension if not presented types of contradictions (e.g., in subjective topics like emotions or perspectives) and can still produce contradictory or misleading information, a phenomenon known as "hallucination". • Cognitive Load: Asking Al models to generate multiple outputs to compare for inconsistencies can increase cognitive load for both the Al and the user, sometimes hindering comprehension if not presented effectively. In summary, Al can recognize contradictions under specific, engineered conditions, but robust, human-like self-awareness of contradictions in all contexts remains an area of ongoing research and development. o Can Al Agents Self-correct? - Medium Jan 11, 2025 - Can Al Agents Self-correct? ...
