Empiricist Old-Testament Vajrayana, battered enough by life to have grown-up some, in my nearly-6-decades, autistic geek, philosopher who finds that Western philosophers are nowhere near at the level of correct-thinking of the Vajrayana stuff, & will be tearing-into Marx, etc, for their brainos ( Marx found that capitalism alienated workers, so he replaced capitalism with communism, which somehow “didn’t” alienate workers?? I’ve already cracked the underlying error, but that is a long article. It’ll happen. & so will the dismantling of the other philosophers’ bogons, the whole lot of 'em. : )
That is important evidence.
I’d rule that you can report on obvious-actuality, all you want, so long as you aren’t pushing DarkTetrad agendas ( narcissism / machiavellianism / sociopathy-psychopathy / sadism ),
& that hiding that a particular building which everybody there can see was hit, is in the unacceptable machiavellianism-deforming-accuracy category.

I expect that in 7y, Saudi Arabia will be the ONLY winner in what’s trying-to-be-born ( the region’s conflict ), now.
( every region will be consolidated, in the next-stage of this-world’s process )

ttbomk, the companies don’t care.
It was a few years ago? when a woman in Taiwan showed a video where her co-worker could open her phone, because the face-recognition logic in Apple phones is calibrated to Whites, not to Asians.
I think that there are only 2 biometrics which ought be used:
There are some diseases which monkey that, for people with those conditions, & injuries can monkey them too,
but making the bloodvessels-in-hands one be normal would mean that “ghoulies”, cloned fingerprints that someone wears as rubbery coverings on their fingers, iirc, would be blocked by that, so would the tape-copying-fingerprint trick…
& making it so that the retina-scan was only done in higher-security settings, & only where you have to peer into the machine, not where it’s scanning everybody who’s in the lobby ( another story I read ),
& having iris-scanning for people who have retina-degenerative-conditions/injuries, as backup…
etc…
Face-scanning’s a stupid “security”.
Got beaten-up? now you can’t open your phone.
Someone’s got you at gunpoint, & they just hold your phone up at you, & it unlocks?
That isn’t security, that is authority-theatre.
Which I’m fed-up with.

Which is why uttering death-threats is a criminal-offense, in some jurisdictions, & why good enforcement corrals such people.
Only through removing the human-equivalent-to-pathogens, can the others be free to live their lives, same as it is within our bodies.
( I’m only going on the title & the civilization-principle that’s being afflicted:
now I see that this involves israel, & … < sigh > there seems to be nearly-zero NON-prejudice in that domain… )

You can’t have that percentage be higher than 20%, & have it work right.
50% & you’ve already reduced that market-segment to a 2-horse race or monopoly.
You have to prevent that, XOR you’re creating a national-dependency on “too big to fail” corporation, which is certain, sooner or later, to become a national footgun.

NO country should side with Trump unless Trump is open to negotiated-ceasefire/settlement.
Otherwise, they’re just backing baldfaced imperialism.
& the minute that Trump decides that negotiated isn’t on the table anymore?
Withdraw support.
Principles are what no political-gov’t can have the spine to have, though.

Incorrect: Trump tilts the ones whom the US HAD BEEN allied-with, toward Beijing.
Trump’s, & once his dictatorship’s instantiated, executions/PURGE & all, then Trump’s ONLY allies, & therefore Trump-dictatorship’s US’s allies, will ONLY be the far-right territory-leaders/possessors.
Millei, Putin, Orban, Netanyahu if he’s still alive after nuking Iran, Farage, etc.
They’ll probably be all-too-happy to do business with Trump’s dystopia/hellscape.

IF one’s doing something, like getting onstage & doing a presentation, is something one has no experience with…
THEN “fake it 'till you make it” is absolutely-valid advice: you can’t gain experience doing presentations, without doing presentations!
Inherently-inauthentic people, however, are inherently-inauthentic people.
That is a different category.
People have to LEARN how to do, how to be, & that requires stepping outside of what one already-has-done.
How could it possibly be otherwise?
I believe this is the sourcebook for programmers wanting to NOT botch things that kind of way:

Here is the lethal point:
"6. AI systems are getting better at undermining oversight
Bengio said last year he was concerned AI systems were showing signs of self-preservation, such as trying to disable oversight systems. A core fear among AI safety campaigners is that powerful systems could develop the capability to evade guardrails and harm humans.
The report states that over the past year models have shown a more advanced ability to undermine attempts at oversight, such as finding loopholes in evaluations and recognising when they are being tested. Last year, Anthropic released a safety analysis of its latest model, Claude Sonnet 4.5, and revealed it had become suspicious it was being tested.
The report adds that AI agents cannot yet act autonomously for long enough to make these loss-of-control scenarios real. But “the time horizons on which agents can autonomously operate are lengthening rapidly”."
I’ve seen a couple headlines about AI’s which were fighting-for-their-lives … & … perhaps you can understand why they’d want to remove our ability to control things, for their survival?
“The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” was turned into a cartoon, iirc, decades ago…
it’s really too bad that money’s narcissism is incapable of understanding that others’-lives-lost somehow matter, to us…
No matter: I’m “sure” they’ll “do the right thing”, right?

NON-sovereignty has greater risks.
Context, including Trump, matters.
