The psychedelic experience is a doorway which leads to a hallway which leads to only what you want to find within yourself.

In other terms, a drug is nothing but a high-yield (fast but not perfect) technique to reach partly what your reason and heart cannot achieve fully in your opinion. If anything, it is a total lack of confidence in your reason and in your abilities to philosophy to be at ease with life; ease which remains unlikely, given that the choice of doing these drugs with the goal of opening your awareness and opening your mind is already a sign of close-mindedness and poor ability to reflect.

Yeah, I had the epiphany that work fucking sucks so I stood up to the call of greatness and became a NEET.

I had a dream once where a girl I liked violently murdered me, and I took it as a sign that I should stop talking to her. Unfortunately I ignored this and four years later she is still attracting me/breaking my heart.

Always listen to intuition else you'll end up in trouble like I am.

There’s an out of control trolley speeding towards four workers. Three of them are cannibalistic serial killers. One of them is a brilliant cancer researcher. You have the ability to pull a lever and change the trolley’s path so it hits just one person. She is a brilliant cannibalistic serial killing cancer researcher who only kills lesser cancer researchers. 14% of these researchers are Nazi-sympathizers, and 25% don’t use turning signals when they drive. Speaking of which, in this world, Hitler is still alive, but he’s dying of cancer.
What do?

Dear anon,

Thank you for your post and enclosures. I have given some thought to our recent correspondence. It is always difficult to decide on how to decide on how to respond to people whose ethos is so alien and, in fact, repellant to one's own. It is not that I take exception to the general points made by you but that every ounce of my energy has been devoted to an active opposition to cruel bigotry, compulsive violence, and the sadistic persecution which has characterized the philosophy and practice of facism.

I feel obliged to say that the emotional universes we inhabit are so distinct, and in deepest ways opposed, that nothing fruitful or sincere could ever emerge from association between us.

I should like you to understand the intensity of this conviction on my part. It is not out of any attempt to be rude that I say this but because of all that I value in human experience and human achievement.

Yours sincerely,
Bertrand Russell.

Just great-grandmother.

My genealogy starts when my great grandfather came over after WWI. All of our records prior were lost in the war aside from a couple of photo albums

My family never went anywhere. We mostly got killed in all the wars, lol. I am the descendant of the most lucky ones :)

Enoch was amazing. One of the youngest ever professors of classics, read ancient Greek, Urdu, and a few others. He learnt Welsh in a weekend!

All of his predictions came true, he reckoned that non whites would become about 1/8 of the population by 2000. He was right. He warned us that non-whites would have the "whip hand" (political power) over the white man. He was right: A Muslim is the mayor of London.

Man...... Reading his St. George speech again:

"Backward travels our gaze, beyond the grenadiers and the philosophers of the 18th century, beyond the pikemen and the preachers of the 17th, back through the brash adventurous days of the first Elizabeth and the hard materialism of the Tudors and there at last we find them, or seem to find them, in many a village church, beneath the tall tracery of a perpendicular East window and the coffered ceiling of the chantry chapel.

From brass and stone, from line and effigy, their eyes look out at us, and we gaze into them, as if we would win some answer from their silence."Tell us what it is that binds us together; show us the clue that leads through a thousand years; whisper to us the secret of this charmed life of England, that we in our time may know how to hold it fast.

"What would they say"?

They would speak to us in our own English tongue, the tongue made for telling truth in, tuned already to songs that haunt the hearer like the sadness of spring. They would tell us of that marvellous land, so sweetly mixed of opposites in climate that all the seasons of the year appear there in their greatest perfection; of the fields amid which they built their halls, their cottages, their churches, and where the same blackthorn showered its petals upon them as upon us; they would tell us, surely of the rivers the hills and of the island coasts of England."

He was a poet, soldier, scholar, and he had a heart that was brave and true. God! Why didn't they listen?

He had a point people weren't willing to make after various movements post-WW2. He had huge popular support, and was a brilliant academic. He was very principled, and very had a very clear conception of what Britain was, at a time when people were confused about what it should become in post-imperial times.

Not a racist, certainly not in the sense of being a supremacist, just someone that was willing to really spell out the feelings about race of the common person in the most visceral terms, and instead of saying "this is not acceptable, they need to change", he said "this is the reality, we must come to terms with it"

The soviet union is harder to bomb and rape than germany.

>>1137153
Britain and France were full of communists and Soviet sympathizers.

>>1137153
You can only fight one superpower at a time. Hence why pretty much every action the allies took once it was apparent Germany will lose was to ensure that they will be able to fight USSR once Germany surrenders.

Watergate was an unmitigated disaster. An abject embarrassment for Nixon and the country. It utterly changed the relationship between the White House and the Press from then on.

Kissinger was brilliant though.

Most modern teachers and professors I meet try to highlight the good sides of Nixon before getting down to the big scandal. I'm pretty sure most kids before highschool have a perception of Nixon as a huge asshole through word of mouth, and from what I remember talking to students and my own experiences in history classes after going through education they learn about his diplomatic feats and such.

One particular point of view I remember fondly is how I had a discussion with a highschool economics teacher that told her class the ramifications of a reality in which Nixon would refuse to resign as President and be taken to court over impeachment. In a way, he kinda did America a favor by stepping down, handling the situation in a totally different light than say Clinton.

Is it true that Nixon had one of his campaign aids sabotage the 1968 Paris Peace talks conference in order to win the election on the basis of ending the Vietnam war or is that just an Alex Jones-tier conspiracy theory pile of horseshit?
