@subhi_life @JoshuaBarzon Look at it this is way: your soul, your mind, your body is YOU. Your soul is not your mind nor your body; your mind is not your soul nor your body; your body is not your soul nor your mind.

@JoshuaBarzon ”While we sing to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” I want to believe that , but please convince me that the Trinity isn't the greatest contradiction in history.

This is the Oxyrhynchus Hymn, dated to the late 200s AD. It is the earliest known Christian hymn manuscript with both lyrics and musical notation. A plain English rendering of the surviving words: “Let all creation be silent. Let the shining stars be still. Let the rushing winds and rivers cease. While we sing to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, let every power answer: Amen, amen. Strength, praise, and glory forever to God, the only giver of all good things. Amen, amen.”

🇪🇸 Last week I recorded a video about one player to watch from every group at the World Cup for Liverpool and I picked Víctor Muñoz for Group H. Few words on him from that video.

@LFCTransferRoom Doesn't use World Cup as an excuse for preparation instead see it as an opportunity. That's the energy we need

🎙️𝗤𝗨𝗢𝗧𝗘 - Andoni Iraola: "I want to get ready. Also with the World Cup being there, we will have a chance to work with especially with some of the young players, because a lot of senior players are out and arriving later because of the World Cup. I think it gives us the chance to know better the players from the Academy, some of the players that have been on loan, they will be important for the first part of pre-season, the American tour. I think it works very well for us, it gives us a lot of information before we take really decisions, before we start the season."

@MMalagies Wow... That's wisdom

NEVER ASK GOD FOR THIS😱😬

@OopsGuess The fact is none of the European countries have that budget to spend, and there are probably 100 other priorities higher up the list. I guarantee none of them will take action unless the US subsidize

The EU’s China obsession increasingly looks like Britain after empire and Japan after losing its place in Asia. A declining power, desperate to prove it can still hurt the industrial civilization rising beyond its control. So it reaches for the only tools left: moral lectures, security paranoia, ideological superiority, and expensive self-sabotage. Now Brussels may spend $430 billion ripping out Chinese equipment. Yet Chinese telecom equipment did what exactly? Did it tap Angela Merkel’s phone? Did it spy on the Élysée Palace? Did it bug EU offices, embassies, and international institutions? No, wait. That was the NSA. But Europe’s solution is to punish Chinese suppliers, raise costs across 18 sectors, delay digitalization, burden SMEs and consumers, and call it “security.” Not because Europe found a real path to industrial strength. Because punishing China is cheaper psychologically than admitting Europe can no longer compete with it. Very sovereign. Very European.

@thecurioustales If you read the Bible, it tells you the same thing. When Gospels are spread to every corner of the World, Christ will be back and end this World - the more people "wake up " from the current state we move closer to the end of the show. Go read the Bible and wake up

🚨 The most dangerous discovery in human history would be understanding what we actually are. Every consciousness researcher faces the same terrifying possibility: we might not be what we think we are at all. The evidence has been accumulating for decades, but science keeps burying it under technical jargon and statistical noise. Near death experiences where patients with flatlined brains describe surgical procedures happening floors away. Remote viewing experiments producing results that would revolutionize physics if they happened in particle accelerators instead of psychology labs. The Global Consciousness Project detecting coordinated patterns in random number generators worldwide during major events, as if human attention creates measurable effects in physical systems. But the most unsettling data comes from quantum mechanics itself. The measurement problem reveals that particles exist in superposition until consciousness collapses the wave function. Without conscious observers, reality never actualizes from possibility into definite states. Information theorists have calculated that the universe requires conscious observation to transform potential into experience. We're not biological machines that evolved awareness. We're conscious beings temporarily animating physical forms. Think of it as cosmic method acting. You've been playing your character so convincingly that you've forgotten you're performing. The body, the personality, the entire human storyline feels absolutely real while you're immersed in the role. But what if you stepped back from the performance and remembered what you actually are underneath? The brain isn't generating consciousness any more than a television generates the signal it receives. It's a reducing valve, filtering infinite awareness down to the narrow bandwidth a physical nervous system can process. This explains why meditators who suppress brain activity report expanded awareness rather than diminished consciousness. Less neural interference allows more of the signal through. Ancient traditions understood this completely. They described reality as a drama where souls temporarily forget their true nature to experience limitation, separation, and physical existence. The forgetting is intentional. Without it, the drama couldn't function. But now science is accidentally rediscovering what mystics always knew. Consciousness studies are proving that individual minds are expressions of something vast and unified. Telepathy experiments show information transmission beyond known physical mechanisms. Studies of identical twins separated at birth reveal behavioral synchronicities that suggest non-local connection between minds. The emerging picture is radical: individual consciousness is like a wave that thinks it's separate from the ocean. The sense of being an isolated self inside a biological machine is the fundamental illusion holding physical reality together. And that illusion is starting to crack. As more minds recognize their true nature, the collective agreement maintaining consensus reality begins destabilizing. When enough actors remember they're performing, the entire production faces collapse. Maybe this explains why consciousness research progresses so slowly despite massive funding and brilliant minds working on it. Every major breakthrough gets explained away, buried in academic journals, or dismissed as anomalous data. The universe seems to have built in protection mechanisms against too much self awareness happening too quickly. Consider what would actually happen if consciousness got solved completely. If we proved definitively that minds are temporary expressions of eternal awareness, that death is simply changing costumes between acts, that reality is a shared lucid dream we're collectively constructing moment by moment. The implications would shatter every human institution. Economics depends on scarcity and survival fears. Politics depends on tribal identity and conflict. Religion depends on mystery and authority. Education depends on the assumption that knowledge accumulates in biological storage systems called brains. All of it collapses once we remember we're immortal beings playing temporary roles in an infinite drama. This might be why the mystery stays mysterious. The cosmic drama depends on the actors staying in character. Wake up too many performers at once, and you don't get enlightenment. You get the end of the show. Some truths are too dangerous for reality to survive knowing them. But the research continues anyway, creeping closer to the revelation that could either transform human civilization or dissolve it entirely. The question isn't whether we'll solve consciousness. The question is whether reality can handle the solution.

@rupasubramanya He should be in the history book

If you had told me a year ago that Canada would be leading the charge to build a new global trading order less reliant on the U.S., I would have laughed. On the campaign trail, Carney proposed a global free trade coalition and made a pledge: "If the U.S. no longer wants to lead, Canada will." And that’s exactly what Carney has set out to do. Whether he succeeds is a fair question. Over the past week, many of the top international headlines have been about Canada, Carney’s bold move in China and his tour de force in Davos. There’s no question Canada is back on the global stage, and for the right reasons this time, not because we spent a decade with a flake at the helm.

@theweeflea @XH_Lee23 @georgegalloway Or better yet, go and see for yourself

@XH_Lee23 @georgegalloway The ultimate in hypocrisy. Just ask the Uyghurs, or the Hong Kong democrats just how the strong prey on the weak!

🇨🇳🤝🌏 Voices from China in Davos are applauded: "The world cannot return to the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak." "China is willing to be not only the world's factory, but also the world's market." Globalization faces challenges from rising protectionism. China offers certainty amid uncertainty. Undoubtedly, 2026 will see more Western leaders visiting China for cooperation.

@dbaeza13 @ekwufinance A classic case of boiling frogs

@ekwufinance China tapping usd denominated bonds is nothing new and does not jeopardize the us$ at all. It strengthens the dollar's role, quite the contrary of your take, good sir. x.com/i/status/18599…

China has officially entered the competition for global USD bond flows. China is now issuing USD-denominated bonds at the same yield as the United States .... a direct challenge for international capital. If this trend grows meaningfully, it will intensify the US fiscal crisis, because foreign investors finally have an alternative destination for their dollars that: - isn’t the US - isn’t the Eurozone - and doesn’t expose them to US sanctions This shows something crucial: The world can decouple from the US without de-dollarizing, simply by redirecting their dollar savings away from Treasuries and towards China. This is how multipolarity begins.... quietly, through capital flows.

@KamalaLies @lorna_toon @grok @realtek12345 @96Stats @xai Been living in China for the last 10 years there's never been a thing called social credit system....dude, go out and see the world

Hey @grok remove the bad president from this image, keep the good one

@cooltechtipz A list that doesn't feature Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland is not very useful

Personal income tax rates by country.

@mitchpresnick With the size of China economy a 5% growth is just unbelievable

If China hawks keep hosting conferences fantasizing about China’s “imminent collapse,” maybe no one will notice that Goldman just projected China’s GDP growth at almost 2× the global average in 2026. Someone should tell them they’re past the point where denial is defensible—or patriotic.

@mrjeffu How did she get elected in the first place?

PM Takaichi, at a conference for Saudi investors, quoted a line from Attack on Titan: "Just shut your mouths and invest everything in me." The character that says that line in the comic gets kicked for saying it. He later dies while attempting genocide.

@shen_shiwei People still boast about sleeping less hours? Which century is this

Would you sit on an airplane if the pilot had slept only two hours a day, four at most?

@zhao_dashuai Why she got elected? What people like about her?

Japan is sending diplomats to China for damage control. At this point, nothing will resolve the issue, unless prime minister Takaichi herself retracts her irresponsible statement on Taiwan and apologize. Many westerners, despite the prevalence of weebs, do not understand Japanese politics. Ever since the rise of populism in recent years, the internal struggle between the professional bureaucrats and populist big mouths like Takaichi within the ruling LDP has been boiling over. What Takaichi said about Taiwan doesn't even have broad support among her cabinet members, let alone coalition partner parties. So it's the entire political machinery of Japan is doing damage control for her big mouth. She's extremely amateurish, as seen by how she acts like a little girl when meeting other world leaders at the recent APEC summit. This diplomatic crisis turning into a geopolitical blunder is evident of that amateurish nature.

@D162Michele When will it become a national security issue in the US? And Japan's existence might be threatened by Labubu too

Labubu is a Chinese asset honeytrapping westerners!!

@JanRobJo @fbermingham A Product of a fail education system in showcase

@fbermingham The butthurt hysteria in the comments proves that I’m right. All these savages talk such a big game but won’t ever leave Europe and go back to their shitholes.

@oku_yungx There is a book explaining why we are here and where do we go after, it's called Bible. Save a lot of people, give it try

I still don’t get the concept behind life. What exactly are we here for?
