  • Honestly, the one thing that really surprises me about this war is how little the Israeli government cares about the hostages.

    They really do value land more than human lives.

    And the absolute cold blooded attitude they have towards innocent Palestinians is horrifying.

    Regardless of what the ICJ decides, for me people who support Hamas, ISIS, Russia, deny the Holocaust, neo-nazis or those who support the state of Israel are all immoral persons.

    And it is difficult to accept that most people are actually quite comfortable with evil. It seems to be that people are just tribal in which evil they support and which evil they object to.





  • I think this is a major part of it.

    Which is why high levels of wealth and power actually lead to bad mental health of the rich and powerful.

    They get detached from normal life and start looking for thrills in the wrong places. It’s kind of a similar effect as what middle class people know as lifestyle adaptation or the hedonic treadmill.

    Once the normal things that provide pleasure are easy to obtain, people start looking for pleasure in places that still provide mystery, adventure and a challenge.

    These people desperately need therapy to learn how to be content with normal things, but instead they follow their flawed monkey brains into a trap.
