If you’re ready to let go, you’re loving. If you’re ready to die, you’re living.

Lessons from what is happening/happened to the people of Iran. If you continually choose between worse and worst, two things happen: 1. You give power to the structure that put you in that spot, and toppling the structure becomes harder and harder. 2. Eventually worse and worst may both be your non-existence This is not just about governments. Applies to all kind of relationships.

@JendersII @grok @grok give the number of active military in every 100 persons of every religion in the U.S.

Hey @grok, what religious group in America has the lowest rate of enlistment in the U.S. military?

The fight in Iran is the ultimate clash between "sounds good" and "common sense". 47 yrs ago Iran started falling longer and harder because the liberal sounds-good got mixed up with religious sounds-good, and created this demonic regime. Once the Iranian people surmount this evil, the "common sense" will have the upper hand globally, and that will be a good thing.

I don’t know what to do with my liberal friends messaging me “I was just in anti war protest and thought of you” and wishing me and my loved ones well. Do I tell them they are not seeing the whole picture? But in what situation they have done that? Do I share my view with them? But when they cared about anything I shared with them that contradicts their views before? Should I not respond and let them be? But what do I do with how I enjoy their friendship? Should I change the subject? But what I do with how I feel about my responsibility to speak what I see?

Am I trying to prove I was right or am I trying to see how wrong I was?

@clashreport @grok is this true?

Reporter: Do you think the map of Iran looks the same after this is all done? Trump: That I can’t tell you. Probably not.

Disclaimer: I am not suicidal and feel great right now. Just wanted to share this. When I was, I was convinced the psychological pain I was experiencing will never subside. What saved my life was not knowing those people who had reassured me they will be there for me if I just tell them that. Those people crossed my mind but only added to my psychological pain. It was a reminder how loveless those relationships have been. What saved my life was the true love shared with a few individuals; my love for my kids, and my responsibility towards them as a father. And the true love of my parents toward me and imagining their sorrow once I had done it.

@MattWalshBlog It seems you don’t understand the Islamic Republic regime. They were the threat to west and US. The Iranian people and American people interest just happened to align in this moment in history.

As always I only support military action anywhere, in any context, if it directly serves the interests of American citizens. It’s troubling that the arguments we’re hearing for this war in Iran, including from Trump himself, seem to revolve primarily around “bringing freedom to the Iranian people.” As Americans, the freedom of Iranians is not our responsibility. If a single American life is lost in the service of that goal, it will be a travesty. What nobody has even come close to sufficiently explaining is how this war will first and foremost directly benefit American citizens. That is a case that needed to have been made clearly and convincingly before this move, and it wasn’t. We’re also told how this will benefit Israel, and I’m sure it will. But Israel is not America. What does it do for America? How does it help us? That needs to be explained to us. And it isn’t “panicking” or demonstrating “disloyalty” to demand those very basic answers about how American tax money, and potentially American lives, are being spent. We hear about the danger of a nuclear Iran, but that’s odd because we were told that Iran’s nuclear capabilities had already been set back decades. We hear that this war will be over quickly and easily because Iran is powerless, which I hope and pray is the case, and maybe it will be. But that’s odd, too, because if Iran is such a paper tiger then how were they a danger to us in the first place? It seems hard to argue both that Iran is an existential threat to the United States and that we can topple them in 20 minutes with no casualties or negative downstream effects. Also the political calculation really matters here. A huge majority of American oppose this. That’s just a fact. If it costs Republicans in 26 and 28, then, no matter how things work out in Iran, it will not have been worth it. A free Iran at the cost of Democrat rule here at home is a bad deal. A free Iran for an unfree America would be just about the worst trade of the century. I’m praying for our great country today.

If you do not direct your attention, it will be directed for you.

Water has no effect on fake flowers. This changed my entire mindset about relationships.

The current democrat party in the US will happily add you as another virtue-signaling pin on their chest. Anything beyond that? Good luck! I didn't need to be an Iranian to see this. I just hope that at least my Iranian friends supporting this party have seen it now.

The best current "Artificial" Intelligence, LLMs, are borrowing our collective intelligence into supercomputers that can apply them faster than we could. The term "Computationally Accelerated Human Intelligence" is more precise.

@js_arxive Teacher’s job is to confuse the student the right amount.

Vibe coding is the new product management. Training and tuning models is the new coding.

کاملا برعکس، دموکراسی یعنی رای اکثریت. با دموکراسی محض همیشه به دیکتاتوری اکثریت به اقلیت میرسید. دموکراسی به تنهایی راهگشا نیست. نیاز به نهاد های دیگر و تقسیم قدرت هست.

Iran’s situation has taught me: You’ll know the true nature of governments, organizations and individuals not when they introduce themselves, or during the relationship, but when you want to separate from them. That’s when you know what you have been dealing with all along.

I thought @X will not mess with the chronological order of “Following” tab. What happened @elonmusk ?

A regime that kills the people it has hold hostage, let the @CNN to come in and record and talk with the people. It’s bitterly funny, and show the extent of lies from @CNN and the depth of the insecurity of I.R.

@MarioNawfal Are you drunk? No part of this has anything to do with any other parts of this.

🇮🇷 This is the son of Saddam Hussein casually firing a gun at a private party in Iraq in the 1990s while intoxicated His name is Uday Saddam Hussein, and he’s known to have kidnapped brides from weddings, schoolgirls, wives of military offices, raping them and killing them. He tortured and imprisoned footballers who underperformed, even feeding some to industrial shredders. He used extreme torture tactics against random victims, including electric shocks and acid baths He killed and tortured for fun, the definition of evil So it’s easy to want a regime that has members like Uday to be toppled And I don’t blame you, knowing this animal is dead and his father’s regime is gone brings me great joy BUT… where are we today? Well, Iraq is essentially a failed state, ISIS at one point controlled 40% of the country, and hundreds of thousands died since the war. Ask any Iraqi, and you’ll almost certainly hear them reminiscent the Iraq before the war, even though they likely hated Saddam and his regime. This should a learning lesson for Iran. The Iranian regime has destroyed the country’s economy, caused instability in the region, and recently killed thousands of protesters Many, like me, would love to see them gone But ask yourself one question: At what cost?
