This study is spot on, and it’s hilarious.

I have found liberals are unable to resist absurd comedy surreal antics of conservatives. No matter the topic or concern (no matter the depth of serious), if conservatives use absurd surreal comedy and humor, liberals LOL and find it hilarious and hand over power to mass dehumanization leaderships.

I really wish we, NATO, could find a defense against surreal absurd "Surkov Governing" that has wrecked NATO

“In the twenty-first century the techniques of the political technologists have become centralized and systematized, coordinated out of the office of the presidential administration, where Surkov would sit behind a desk on which were phones bearing the names of all the “independent” party leaders, calling and directing them at any moment, day or night. The brilliance of this new type of authoritarianism is that instead of simply oppressing opposition, as had been the case with twentieth-century strains, it climbs inside all ideologies and movements, exploiting and rendering them absurd. One moment Surkov would fund civic forums and human rights NGOs, the next he would quietly support nationalist movements that accuse the NGOs of being tools of the West. With a flourish he sponsored lavish arts festivals for the most provocative modern artists in Moscow, then supported Orthodox fundamentalists, dressed all in black and carrying crosses, who in turn attacked the modern art exhibitions. The Kremlin’s idea is to own all forms of political discourse, to not let any independent movements develop outside of its walls. Its Moscow can feel like an oligarchy in the morning and a democracy in the afternoon, a monarchy for dinner and a totalitarian state by bedtime.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia, 2014

Guess you need a certain base level of awareness to get mentally ill.

Really, you think someone raised in Palestine in year 2024 or Afghanistan year 2024 needs a base level of self-awareness to be fucked-over by parents and clergy? Or do you think beyond Twitter-length Tweet-Thinking Elton Musk and Donald Trump cognitive complexity ideas? Have you studied the Middle East / Levant clergy values in Iran, Palestine, Israel, Saudi Arabia parenting?

This is mostly a joke

Do you think the Quran, Bible, Torah are a science fiction clergy joke upon humanity, LOL amusement?

Two months on Lemmy machine social systems. What's your real name, do you think non-identity social media is all humor jokes?

American conservatives tend to rate their mental health

Let's ask what Malala in Swat Valley Pakistan how she rates mental health of conservatives... !Malala@lemm.ee

Mass Mind Brain Damage

Not just personal brain damage, not just one individual brain damage.

Brain damage of entire groups, mass mind brain damage. Mass man brain damage.

"Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views."

Yet, you can't grasp the thousands of years old Tower of Babel, Babel Tower, metaphors. !BabelTower@lemm.ee

Oh, you can only understand films and can't grasp written metaphors in language? So you have awful taste of meme-language systems, only film images? You never learned of the "Tower of Babel" concept of Levant storytelling, but know of Hollywood USA "The Terminator" film series?

Still can’t tell if it’s all a LLM or not.

That is a major intelligence failure in April 2025. Lemmy community to educate you: !FakeDetectors@lemm.ee "Fake detectors of Large Language Models"

this community is to be deliberately obtuse apparently.

No, not at all. This Lemmy community is about the "Tower of Babel" shallow understandings and superficial reactions to language, but you seem incredibly ignorant and in need of remedial education and learning,

It is very direct and clear what the topic of this Lemmy community is about:

Torah / Bible "Genesis 11:9 attributes the Hebrew version of the name, Babel, to the verb balal, which means to confuse or confound in Hebrew. The first century Roman-Jewish author Flavius Josephus similarly explained that the name was derived from the Hebrew word Babel (בבל), meaning "confusion"."

"Us and Them" (Pink Floyd song cover) performed by Lucia Lilikoi, lyrics: Up and down... and in the end It's only round and round, and round. "Haven't you heard it's a battle of words?" The poster bearer cried

I'm much more of an auditory learner and I'm wondering if anyone knows of any videos or online courses that may help me absorb and appreciate the text [Finnegans Wake]

I'm much more of an auditory learner

“The ear favours no particular “point of view.” We are enveloped by sound.

It forms a seamless web around us.

We say, “Music shall fill the air.” We never say, “Music shall fill a particular segment of the air.”We hear sounds from everywhere, without ever having to focus.

Sounds come from “above,” from “below,” from in “front” of us, from “behind” us, from our “right,” from our “left.”

We can‘t shut out sound automatically.

We simply are not equipped with earlids.

Where a visual space is an organised continuum of a uniformed connected kind, the ear world is a world of simultaneous relationships.” ― Marshall McLuhan, The Medium is the Massage, March 1967

“Joyce is, in the Wake, making his own Altamira cave drawings of the entire history of the human mind, in terms of its basic gestures and postures during all the phases of human culture and technology. As his title indicates, he saw that the wake of human progress can disappear again into the night of sacral or auditory man. The Finn cycle of tribal institutions can return in the electric age, but if again, then let’s make it a wake or awake or both. Joyce could see no advantage in our remaining locked up in each cultural cycle as in a trance or dream. He discovered the means of living simultaneously in all cultural modes while quite conscious.” - “The Medium is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects” by media analyst Marshall McLuhan and graphic designer Quentin Fiore, and coordinated by Jerome Agel. It was published in March 1967

Translation of metaphor to 2,000 years ago:

Levant (Middle East), Bible verse Luke 17:21: "nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst."

In other words, people don't see what is in front of them. 2,000 year old Levant lesson / teaching to children.

Bible verse "1 John 4:20" - you have never Seen Allah. You have never Seen God. You have never Seen Yahweh.

This has been an assertion for 2,000 years and nobody has seen God yet.

Bible verse John 1:1 assertion for 2,000 years; God is language and only language. God is metaphors and only metaphors. God is words and only words. God is poetry storytelling and only poetry storytelling.

Science fiction storytelling, not reality real.
