  1. Why is it delusional (mohā) to say the body is me, mine, or myself? Because the body's matter/energy constantly change, move, become different. There is nothing stable there to call a substance or essence. The same is true of thoughts and feelings. It's like calling a flowing river 'me'.

  2. The fact the body can get infections also shows it's not you or yours. It's a territory you're inhabiting, and, just like land, you have to constantly defend it against others who also want to either live there or consume it as food.

  7. Bodies are a type of hardware. Being attached to them, desiring them, etc is a type of materialism. People's obsessions with 'who' looks most beautiful is actually with whose mind HAS (ie, possesses, occupies, etc) the most beautiful body.

  8. A quotation from Orwell

    In nationalist thought there are facts which are both true and untrue, known and unknown. A known fact may be so unbearable that it is habitually pushed aside and not allowed to enter into logical processes, or on the other hand it may enter into every calculation and yet never be admitted as a fact, even in one’s own mind.

    George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1945-05), “Notes on Nationalism,” Polemic Magazine (1945-10)

  11. Listening to the 3-part "Waco" series on CASEFILE podcast (my favorite true crime show). Learning so many details I hadn't known about this.

    I really wish I could see a world one day in the far future where religion is entirely behind us all.

  16. CW: LNG idiocy NZPol

    @rnzbot_political Very incomplete modelling. However the most alarming thing in this article is a MBIE official:"An MBIE spokesperson said the current conflict had created only "short-term volatility" in LNG markets". The level of delusion in this statement is extreme. (IEA this morning describes the current conflict as the worst fuel crisis ever) #NZPol #Delusion
