Sanity Check

In wrestling, combat sports and the UFC, there is something known as "farmer strength". There are men and women who grew up working on farms, who are acknowledged as freaks in terms of strength, athleticism and endurance. The bible mentions the brothers of King David being bigger and presumably stronger than him. Which indicates the role of shepherd was not best filled by the biggest or most athletically gifted member of a tribe. It has also been claimed Alexander the Great and many other conquerors were sons of farmers. When Cain's sacrifices are not respected, it could be an indication branches of farming were not unlike a mark of Cain. They would lead to a rise of conquerors and assorted bullies whose achievements and path of bloodshed would not produce much benefit to humanity. Like you said there is also the issue of grain. Which may have led to overpopulation, mass species extinction and other crisis.

Cain being a farmer & laborer, was physically powerful. While Abel's shepherd lifestyle led to him being weaker and less athletic. What lifestyle do large and physically powerful men have? They often become bullies oppressing weaker men around them. Murdering thy brother is an oppressive bully move

Snail Pest Written By: Adam Atwood | February 23, 2024 Snails invade crops or gardens. In 1966, a boy sneaked three Giant African snails (Achatina fulica) from Hawaii to South Florida in the United States. The boy’s grandmother eventually released the snails in her garden, and seven years later the mollusks had created about 18,000 adult snails and thousands of eggs, which by then was a plague of enormous proportions. In total, the child’s mischief cost about 1 million dollars and ten years to eradicate from Florida. Snails reproduce with relative ease. They eat almost anything organic, and a single individual can have hundreds of offspring each year. So when the population rises to excessive levels and begins to affect humans or other animals, it becomes a problem. https://snail-world.com/snail-pest/

There is a clip of people surfing on youtube. With their surfboards edited out. I'll find it later, if I can.

Plastic is made from oil. Plastic waste can also be heated to produce fumes which can be processed back into hydrocarbon fuels.

People like you are the reason Trump won the popular vote in 2024. Your behavior alienates your own voting and support base. It was obvious in 2016. 9 years and you still haven't managed to connect the dots? Tell me what is it you do exactly? That you still haven't managed to learn the basics that many of us learned almost 10 years ago. If you read the bible. You should know if the word saint is in there. Overcomplicating everything and attempting to shift burden of proof. These are the marks of underachievers.

If you don't already know the answer. You don't belong here discussing the topic.

The behavioral pattern of attempting to put others down. In the flawed belief that it somehow elevates your own self. Is the mark of an underachiever. It also defines the type of person that no one likes.

Why would I care about empowerment? How did the 1st person develop esoteric techniques while lacking a teacher? Who says people like you should learn such things? Especially when you don't seem to have the best self awareness or self control.

The word "saint" appears in the bible. In which case, the smart argument for you, might be to claim that all denominations recognize saints. The term is in the bible. This makes it "universal". Rather than cherry picking on the fact that there are so many christian denominations that a few aside from catholicism would inevitably have their own social order for sainthood. But recognizing saints isn't quite the same as saint worship, as catholicism is known for. And so not the same thing.

Saints are catholicism only relics. If you were endorsing a saint. Whose content would you promote? Have you read or heard the content published by those elevated to saintdom by the catholic faith? The modern day message of christianity has become so dumbed down, oversimplified and diluted. Its shocking to me that anyone would defend it. You have to know restless people like myself wander far and wide. Searching for knowledge. School formats are boring. If people want to learn, they'll learn. Otherwise, I'm not certain even a school can teach them. Every school as its representatives. Are their representatives impressive? In discussing christianity and religion there isn't anyone particularly impressive. I have read books written by taoists, read website articles and internet content. One thing I noticed is taoists are more relaxed, more comfortable and more at ease. If you wanted to point to a specific person as the embodiment of everything a taoist or esotericist should be. Is there anyone who could be named? Have you seen Joe Rogan's 3rd eye logo? I would guess if any celebrity undertook a path to open their 3rd eye. It would be that guy ^. Some of the things he says and does are impressive. His retention for data and information impress many. So yes such things as the effect 3rd eye has might be seen and noticed even by someone like me who doesn't know all that much about esoteric practices. Human physiology is very adaptable. Exercising and training certain parts of the body and mind can be transformative even without a 3rd eye being involved. I think its what people do with what they have that matters. Maybe there are some who will train to open 3rd eye who will only work night and day to make life harder for themselves. Its not necessarily an upgrade when used improperly.

I struggle so much with finding good names for things. Synonyms for ground, earth, descent and similar terms might be worth a look. There was a guy who named his fish "swim shady" (pun on slim shady) great name. Another named their bulldozer "diggy smalls" (biggy smalls) another great name. A wildlife channel named their owl "owl capone" (al capone). If I were you, I would just look for something in view to use as a name. Which is not necessarily dissimilar to the origins story of my avatar.

And? Did you have a point?

Contrast the examples you cite with christianity and organized religion. With christianity the best chance a person has of learning anything relevant is to avoid group activities propagating hive mind based indoctrination. The same might be said of most forms of organized religion. Accepting the group format and their ideology will set a person back years, even decades, in terms of gaining knowledge and competence. I can't comment on taoism or esoteric practices as I've never experienced them. In examining basic taoist ideology, I'm left with many questions. The way I lived my life is 100% the complete opposite of basic advice taoists and esoterists offer. People turn to religion and spiritualism seeking answers. When they can't get answers that are satisfying they abandon the group setting and begin searching on their own. It seems that this trend of people like myself receiving unsatisfying answers to questions is becoming more defined over time. Not everyone wants to develop magical powers or open their third eye. Some only want answers and to better comprehend basic principles at work. And when those explanations of basic principles are not coherent or consistent, it raises questions and causes people to lose faith in the organized format of things.
