"How does it help you to think that the world conspires against you? ... How does it help the world the way we think about the challenges we now face?"

The "world" is (haha) arguably no more merely a mental model we've come to believe is more than merely a mental model, as is any "self" - especially the kind quite ouroboros-ically believing the mere mental model of itself believing in said model as well as models of not-itself are - each - more than merely mental models....

The "re-" prefix suggests "again", e.g. re-petition, re-member.

It's practice. It makes seemly perfectly is.

That is, seemingly re-all....

Say where?

       it's a re-al nowhere mind
spinning toward its next re-mind (hehe)
    making all its nowhere thoughts
              for no body

Apparently the "world" you linked to is no longer there, is it a conspiracy or is it reality? I clicked on the click baity link and it lead me to an abyss of nothingness but alas I speak of a reality that is.........no longer the "world.

Well, gosh dang. The best excuse I can muster is I've not done a link here in a while, and I associated it with a bunch of test instead of just a single line of text worth.

I do appreciate your bringing it to my attention, though. Here 'tis:

Excellent article. I agree with every word the author wrote except he forgot to mention the lack of critical thinking skills the world faces today. The lack of critical thinking skills is what has blossomed into the rot known as groupthink and has birthed the cancel culture we see today. I am so glad I brought the dead link to your attention, it was worth reading this article. By the way, I am one of those well versed in critical thinking and I have decided not to get the jab, not now, not ever.

The only jab that's going to be taking place for my wife and I will be of a "good 'ole fashioned jab" nature.... <coughs>

The fearmongerers seem indistinguishable from religious fundamentalists to me, complete with the repeated-icepick-to-the-eye potent stench of self-righteousness.

My dad having a mild - but still poignant - stroke after his second shot was all the science I needed - as in "experiment gone wrong" for my sector of the gene pool.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I've not trusted profiteering - Oooops! Sorry! Meant to type "medical science"! - for at least a hand's worth of decades. I can't think of a more pungent example of where the hocus meets the poke us.... ;-)
