Hamas have now been rewarded by the UN and many countries. The blueprint is set. If you want to destroy the reputation of anyone you deem to be "oppressing" you, bomb them and hang the consequences.
Just as Jewish terrorists did in 1946–7? They were "rewarded" by the 'creation' of the state of Israel...
...not forgetting that it was the UN, the organisation you love to hate, that perpetrated this Middle East land-grab, albeit, then as now, heavily influenced by the USA (and the UK).
You are wrong. The Jews bought land - and often the worst land. They learned how to irrigate and becam ..read more

The evidence is Amnesty's long term inordinate focus on Palestine as compared with other hotspots. It's institutional capture. To be fair, they are better than many other institutions, but that's not saying much
I worked with government for many years. Almost all of my co-workers were good and decent people who wanted to do the right thing. We all thought we were serving our communities. I also worked with corporations and my co-workers were just regular people too, trying to do a good job and earn a living.
Yet I would not trust governments or corporations as far as I could throw them ..read more

...the brain is...organising its meanings, events, experiences, and the "data" is passing through the cognition "module" in a disorganised fashion as the sort progresses. The consciousness makes "sense" of the information, and attempts to narritivise the content. I do not see this an a formal "encryption" process has such.
That sounds right, Sculptor1. Dreams happen in individual brains do. They have no meaning beyond that.

Sounds a bit like Brave New World, Sy Borg.
Rather than governments, do you think it is corporations who will be the institutions in control? By some accounts, corporate empires already dictate how resources are allocated, how territories are governed, how justice is defined and who’s safe.[1]
Given that life has always been a struggle for dominance, will these corporations continue to struggle between themselves? What would happen if one gained global monopoly control? Wouldn't that stifle the diversity that fosters creativity. Wouldn't a single corporate institution become inefficient and ..read more

Have you considered Sleep Aponea?
THe myth of the Succubus, where a female demon is said the sit upon the cest of a man at night, with him unable to move as been associated with sleep paralysis.
I wonder if dreams of breathing restriction could be the result of inadvertantly gettin gyour face in the pillow, or breathing problems through inflammation of the airways.
A dream could be interpreted to be like a summary with intentional omission rather than an anecdote with accidental forgetting. For example a movie trailer can be non-temporal where the movie has already been made but they can s ..read more

The concept of breaking a big goal down into microtasks is very effective. It inspires ongoing commitment because progress is visible and there's constant achievements to acknowledge and celebrate. I attended a course years ago where the instructor proved how inefficient multitasking is. Breaking a big task down into smaller components is also effective to curb multitasking. It's easier to finish one thing before moving on to the next if it doesn't require a huge amount of time.
