KeymasterNo prob. Yeah, as I thought – shallow and they will have to dig deeper and find one of those psychs that do this work to understand.
Gay has nothing really to do with it – it could be but one symptom of disease (and there are homosexuals among us – I believe about 5% of a normal population) .. and is only a very small diagnostic factor for this level of disconnection from humanity and self – it is truly a perversion of freedom.
People could take a listen at the interview that Tucker Carlson had with Dugin (and neither of those two are favorites). Dugin explains it as well, but in different terms.
I am not complaining about what Candice is doing at all – I’m explaining the next step. It is almost as if there is an alternative hierarchy of needs developed. Then, I am not married to Maslow’s initial hierarchy specifically – just that it can serve to explain things easily. It is the development of an alternative human being — where nothing is real (Beatles, Strawberry Fields).

KeymasterMr P .. nothing at that link and I cannot find anything at her main Twitter feed. Could you try the link again? Usually it has to be a link to the main tweet .. links to replies or secondary tweets don’t work. I click through until I am at the source – the net is a mess these days with different specs.
I’m interested in what she has to say, because I think it is not wrong at all, but shallow. It is a perversion of the search for individual power, i.e., I’m so woke that I can decide what I want to be in terms of gender – it is the epitome of freedom .. But it is actually just a vector of control. This is not the only vector of control on the sexual level. The old Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (not the new ones all messed up) clearly tells that the procreation urge is seated on the first step of finding the integrated human. So, if some clever Psych can ‘un-integrate’ on that level, you have a human being that is epigenetically bound to its ‘freedom’ but of course, there are no morals on that level. There are no morals because group connectedness is not real, only for show ..

KeymasterHi Destination Unknown .. Yes, I saw that Krisnamurti’s work gave you something … Its good. But that is work for its time again.
I’ve done my reading and want to summarize .. but we need a bit on the intro part, which was your part.
Anyway, what is foundational in the Introduction of the first chapter, is Percival’s description of what the body is. That needs to be read with attention.
His thesis is the following – he talks about 3 uhm .. abilities within the body, the thinker in the body, the doer in the body and the knower in the body, i.e., a triune self. That would of course track with all of the main religions, but it also tracks with psychology, as in the Id, the Ego and the Superego. I am not a Freudian, but can only identify that this is one touchpoint with some part of psychology that to me is real although not empirical. There are of course many other models of the psyche.
What differs from the batch of psychological models, is the Percival talks about a longing .. far as I know, none of the psychological models include a ‘longing’ a deep search for meaning. So this aspect is very different. You do get that search in the religions, but again, they already have their own solution. Percival finds a methodology from the body, to a triune very specific aspects, that he says we’ve lost.
Nothing of the senses can really satisfy that longing. The reason is that you are
lost—are a lost but inseparable part of a consciously immor-tal Triune Self. Ages ago, you, as feeling-and-desire, the doer part, left the thinker and knower parts of your Triune Self. So you were lost to yourself because, without some understanding of your Triune Self, you cannot understand yourself, your longing, and your being lost. Therefore you have at times felt lonely. You have forgotten the many parts you have often played in this world, as personalities; and you have also forgotten the real beauty and power of which you were conscious while with your thinker and knower in the Realm of Permanence.So, how I understand that, is that if the triune part is integrated, then there is balanced union within self, and it is fun, enjoyable. Same with the Freudian perspective .. if the personality aspects are integrated, of course the human is more balanced. Further along he talks about the unity process some more.
Then a massively important piece … if the triune self is integrated, then you are in the Realm of Permanence and he literally calls it a departure from the current state. Hey presto, you’re remembering and with that, you reach that state, that realm of permanence. No panic ..
He says that in ancient writings there have been allusions to that departure, in such phrases as “the original sin,” “the fall of man,” as from a state and realm in which one is satisfied.
So, this departure is borne from a wanting to .. a feeling and desire, a seeker must understand that. The end is a knowingness of the functions and even existence of the three — doer, thinker and knower, and therefore an ability to be truly triune.
It is in the experience .. and I’ve long since followed a habit of saying .. do I do something, do I just think about it, or do I know? This is probably the most simplistic of implementation. It was never a fast process for me, but now I sometimes identify .. I Know This Thing .. and It Is Just Out There, outside of my reach .. or, it is moving towards, or I cannot identify – there is nothing there and the thinker thinks those things, the knower knows those things and the doer knows what action to take. It is not a perfect and integrated easily followed process for me yet. But I’ve seen glimpses.
So that is practically what I get out of that part, but oh heavens, there is a lot.

KeymasterThanks everyone, so much! I have the basics and a high level answer. The following is a bit older but the technology is developing so fast that the paper and definitions and classifications lag behind:
From 2020
WARFARE EVOLUTION BLOG: There are 14 countries working on 6th Generation (6G) fighter planes these days: the U.S. (PCA, F/A-XX, NGAD); the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy, and maybe India (Tempest); France, Germany, and Spain (FCAS); Japan (F-3); Taiwan (ADF); South Korea and Indonesia (KF-X); Russia (MiG-41); and China (J-XX).
There are six aircraft generation classification charts out there: Hallion, Aerospaceweb, Air Force Magazine, Winchester, Air Power Development Center, and China’s Air Force. All these templates have been overcome by advances in technology and evolving mission requirements.
6G stealth improvements: There are six spectrums that stealthy aircraft must consider: physical shape (radar signature), IR (infrared or heat) signature, acoustic (sound) signature, visual (visible light) signature, EMR (electro-magnetic radiation) signature, and wake turbulence (vortices) signature. What can we do with shape to further reduce the RCS (radar cross section) on 6G fighters?
The real answer to the statements is kinda funny. China has not defined what they’ve built, in other words, we cannot say what they have and what not. Yet, reading the existing descriptions, checking the beautiful design drawings and the engineering specs, listening to Chinese observers, the bigger airplane in the videos that we saw is a solid 6G and the smaller one solid 5G tech, according to classifications that exist today. Here is where the fight starts and then they get into differences in classifications and definitions. That is not my bag. I needed a high level understanding of methods of classification, and now I have that, sufficient for the day.
And of course, it is not in anyone’s mind that we could be dealing with some novel technologies in the mix.
¡Muchas gracias amigos!
This is from South China Morning Post:
Chinese experts believe the country’s first sixth-generation stealth fighter jet may have even greater stealth capabilities at hypersonic speeds, with one commenter suggesting the PLA has “fully surpassed global advanced standards”.
China’s official media appeared to tacitly confirm speculation that a fixed-wing aircraft with a three-engine configuration seen over Chengdu in the southwestern province of Sichuan on Thursday was in fact the stealth fighter on its maiden flight.
During the flight – which took place in broad daylight – the jet was flanked by a fifth-generation J-20 fighter jet, according to footage that was reportedly filmed near the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, which makes fighters and drones.
Observers noted that the mystery jet – which has a distinctive triangular, tailless design – was flying with its landing gear down – a common practice in the early stages of testing.
Chinese authorities have not yet officially confirmed the jet’s existence or given it a name, but the Chengdu-based Defence Times appeared to make an oblique reference to the aircraft on its Weibo account.
The media outlet posted an image of a ginkgo leaf and the comment “it really looks like a leaf”, in what was widely interpreted as a semi-official acknowledgement.
(And on that day was a celebration for Mao’s birthday – all that I know about the Chinese is that they will not mess around with this day).

KeymasterThanks so much! I’m gonna ask. No, I don’t know him at all. But there is a conversation on Twitter Spaces between some of them and they are so excited .. so, I think that is the correct place to ask.

KeymasterDear Mr P,
I need a hand as very soon I’m going to be pulled into something where I don’t want to be. Do you know anything about 5G and 6G war plane engines? I don’t need the full lecture but what I need is how to identify those. What are the characteristics to call those planes by those names? Is there a list of specs or definitions for such things?
This new plane, the big one that China flew just a little while ago, on Mao’s birthday – so, this plane has not been named and information about it is scant – the gossip calls it, and the little brother that flew with it, 6G technology. China is keeping it very close to their chests. What I do understand is that these planes are systems and able to instruct a batch of drones that would be flying with them.
So, our favorite Smoothie makes some comments that China does not have a 6G airplane, and neither a 5G airplane. A friend of mine and ours, gave him name and ‘birthdate’ of one 5G. Rejected out of hand. This friend writes extensively on China’s technology, and military technology which China keeps very private, unless they want to speak about it .. new drones, new ships, new tech and so on .. when they want to. I mean some Chinese people actually understand these things.
I’ve already had questions on an anti-China stance. The previous time I wrote a softspoken article, reminding of the relationship between Russia and China and that it may be best to honor that. That happened – my ‘softspoken’ was adhered to. But now, there is this 6G thing and Smoothie wrote about a stupid little article on RT. But what is happening, is that he is calling the whole of China as fools or at least, that is how it is perceived.
What I would like to do, is to very damn quick get outside the controversy and say something like: Here are the specs – do your homework. But dear heavens, I don’t know what a spec of this nature even would look like. The research that I’ve done is that the differences are ‘soft’.
To crown it all Karlof1 (we’ve posted him many times) tries to ameliorate the issue, and states quite rightly that China’s defense requirements are different from that of Russia .. But, oh dear, he says all China needs to do, is to be able to attack or defend dear heavens, against Taiwan. Oh dear .. first island chain, second island chain, third island chain, Japan, South Korea, Philippines, US troops moving from bases in Japan to outlying islands (think of the 2ndWW – those islands are they). Brian Berletic has the movements on that one. Well, I guess Karlov1 tried, but ….
So, to summarize, how do I find or where are the definitive set of specs defining WTH is a 6G engine and a 5G engine on a war plane? Yikes. I need a ‘shield’ because just now we’re going to have a batch of Chinese war plane techs writing in fast Chinese and break some reputations. The oreshnik could be novel tech, but so can China have developed some novel tech. They do it daily. Those planes are described to be highly stealth, and on other sources that method of stealth is described and clearly novel. Strange, that part I get.
Specs por favor, if possible. If not, I’ll just tell em all go go to hades and I won’t worry about a thing.

KeymasterWell, Putin did issue an apology.
https://tass.com/politics/1894845
Putin apologizes for AZAL airliner incident in Russia’s airspace — Kremlin
The Russian leader conveyed his deep and sincere condolences to the families of the plane crash victimsMOSCOW, December 28. /TASS/.
“Vladimir Putin offered his apologies that the tragic incident had occurred in Russia’s airspace and once again conveyed his deep and sincere condolences to the families of the plane crash victims and wished those injured the quickest recovery,” the press office said in a statement.
Legal Issues? I guess when the investigation is complete.
Uhm, I just saw his formal on the Kremlin Website:
Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev at the Russian side’s initiative
🔹The presidents had a detailed discussion of issues regarding the December 25 crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines plane near the city of Aktau in Kazakhstan.
🔹Vladimir Putin apologised for the fact that the incident happened in Russian airspace, once again offered deep and sincere condolences to the victims’ families and wished a speedy recovery to the injured. It was noted during the conversation that the Azerbaijani passenger airliner was flying according to schedule and repeatedly tried to land at Grozny Airport. At that time, Ukrainian unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) attacked Grozny, Mozdok and Vladikavkaz, and Russian air defence systems were repelling these attacks.
🔹The Russian Investigative Committee initiated a criminal case under Article 263 of the Criminal Code (violation of the rules for traffic safety and operation of the air transportation systems). Initial investigation is underway, with authorities questioning civilian and military specialists.
🔹Two officials from the Prosecutor General’s Office of Azerbaijan are currently in Grozny, working together with representatives of the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. Relevant services of Russia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan are working closely at the crash site near the city of Aktau.
And just in from PressTV: Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev says the country’s jetliner that crashed this week was unintentionally shot down by Russian forces.

KeymasterThe israeli press and Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he is going to have surgery to have his prostate removed. Looking at the announcement this is probably not a small non-invasive procedure, but a full-on ‘cut it out’.
Is it very bad to hope that his surgeon is drunk? Mistakes the brain for the prostate? Cut off the urethra?

KeymasterMr P, the Ursa Major was attacked. I got it from two sources. A bunch of Russian ex navy fellows that discuss Russian shipping, state of ships and where they are and so on .. and the other:
A terrorist attack was carried out against the Russian vessel ‘Ursa Major’, which sank in the Mediterranean Sea (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/30568), reported the company that owns the bulk carrier.
Three explosions occurred on the starboard side of the Ursa Major, which sank her, Oboronlogistika said as quoted by Sputnik.
In addition, the plane that fell: the AZAL Embraer 190, en route from Baku to Grozny, Russia, crashed near Aktau, Kazakhstan, with 69 people on board earlier today. The Prosecutor General’s Office of Azerbaijan stated that a total of 32 people had survived the crash, though this number is not yet final.
There are images out with what looks to me like bullet holes to my uneducated eyes on the fuselage but they say it is damage visually resembling the impact of air defense missile shrapnel.
I’ve found them again ..here: https://t.me/rtnews/77047
